Chapter 56: A Robbery That Shouldn't Have Happened

The second day of the National Day holiday is more meaningful for the University of Ceylon than on the day of the National Day. Tonight there is a bonfire, a tradition of the University of Ceylon since its founding, which has been held since the founding of the university, but most people have forgotten its origins and only remember this joyous day.

Breakfast was over, and everyone began to get busy with their work. The first choice of food is of course barbecue, and the entertainment is of course Soaring. There are so many things to prepare: barbecue grills, tables and chairs, and a large screen with 16 LED screens, as well as other decorations needed to set up the venue. Teachers and students who are responsible for planning activities also need to design more activities to stir up the atmosphere.

The laughter and laughter of the people resounded throughout the campus, and Leo, who was on duty at the security booth, could hear it clearly. He's still playing games. During the holidays, only the south gate of the school can be entered. In normal times, the security captain would definitely say that he was not doing his job, but now that the captain has gone home to rest, and there are usually no outsiders coming to school during the holidays.

The sound of swiping cards sounded outside, and Leo hesitated for a moment before looking up, only to see the figure of a woman walking by, as if it was a student, he thought, and continued to play intently.

And the woman, Leia, got on the bus to the city five minutes after leaving the school gate.

*****

About an hour later, Leia walked out of a supermarket with a smile on her face, followed by a middle-aged woman with a big belly and wearing supermarket overalls.

"Thank you," Leia said to the middle-aged woman, "thank you for being paid in advance." ”

"It's a trivial matter," the middle-aged woman replied in a confident voice, the fat on her chin trembling with the undulation of her lips, "Sister Laiya, if you have time, you can come to help at any time, I will be short of people all year round!" ”

"Okay auntie."

After saying goodbye, Leia watched the middle-aged woman walk back to the store, her smile quickly disappearing, and she was replaced by a disdainful expression. She took out her mobile phone, flipped out the collection information she had just received, looked at the three digits on it, and pouted.

"It's just a little money to turn over and over, it's boring."

Leia has been working as a cashier at this supermarket in her spare time for three months. The bright smile she showed in the face of customers made the owner of the supermarket, that is, the middle-aged woman just now, full of praise, and it seemed that there was a slight increase in turnover during her time period. But Leia doesn't care about the business of the store, she only cares about how much money she can pay.

In fact, the job of cashier is not bad compared to the few temporary jobs she has found before. As for the money, it's not much, but it's not bad. If she hadn't taken another job last month, Lea would have persevered for a few months, even if the pay was less.

"It's coming, it's not going to be a few days."

Back in front of the school gate, Lea stopped, and through the fence of the school gate, she could see the busy students inside. If you go back at this time, eighty percent will be called to help. So she turned to leave.

"Yo, Leia, you just went out?"

Leia hurriedly changed her smiling face: "Yes, Professor Andora, what about you?" ”

"I'm just here." Andora said with a smile, and then pointed to the two cardboard boxes on the ground behind her, "Go get something, let's go in together." ”

"Well, okay. Need help moving? ”

"How can you let a girl do this? Someone came right away. ”

As soon as Andora finished speaking, the sound of rapid running came from far and near, followed by a loud noise, and a very crisp sound of gunfire.

Bang –

The screams followed, Andora hurriedly pulled Lea behind him, looked ahead, and there ran a man running there, holding a satchel in his left hand and a pistol in his right hand, and ran to the door as if flying, and his body hit it all at once, the door did not move, and the man went to pull the door again, but the door did not move, and a group of students caught up behind him, and he realized that the door should be swiped.

"Don't come here!"

"Bang" was another shot, and the bullet hit the ground, leaving a bullet hole that frightened the pursuing students. The man pointed a gun at the students, looked at the door for a while, looked at the students for a while, and found that the door was more than 3 meters high, there was no place to stay, and it was difficult to climb over, so there was only one way.

He reached for the door of the security booth, which opened from the inside, and Leo walked out, looking dazed.

"What's wrong?"

Leo was playing a game with headphones on, and only partially heard the gunshot, so he felt something was wrong and came out to watch. Before he could understand what was going on, he was put in the forehead with a pistol.

"You're a security guard! Open the door for me! The man roared with round eyes.

Leo subconsciously raised his hands, looked at the man's face carefully, and asked something very inappropriate.

"I'm a security guard, what about you? You're not from school, are you? The face is a little raw. ”

"Less!" The man roared, "You don't care who I am! If you don't want to die, open the door quickly! ”

"You don't answer me, but you don't."

"Are you sick!? Who is this school? I'll ...... any more nonsense."

Before he could finish speaking, the man felt something flicker in front of him, and the pistol pointed at Leo was knocked off, and then he was punched in the bridge of the nose. This time it was not light, both nostrils were bleeding, and he was a little suspicious that the bridge of his nose was broken, so he covered his nose and took a step back.

Before he could stand on his heels, the security guard in front of him turned around and kicked him in the temple. His brain swelled instantly, and it buzzed like a swarm of wasps, and he lay straight down, holding his head and moaning^.

Andora, who had opened the door, hurried over, and saw that the man didn't even have the strength to turn over, and shook his head in pity.

"You can't do anything bad this time, can you?"

"Don't worry," Leo said, waving his right hand that he had just swung out, nonchalantly, "I'm ready now." Then again, do you know this person? ”

"I haven't seen it, maybe it's outside of school." Andora said that there were not many people at the school during the holidays, that the man was not a student, and that the teaching staff, if not familiar, had a basic impression of what he looked like.

"Then call the police, I'll look at him first."

"Hmm."

Andora called the police and dispersed the onlookers. When the riots ended, everyone went back to their own business, but LÊa remained with Andora.

"That security guard seems to have a lot of thoughts, I really didn't pay attention to it before."

"Heh, although I usually only know how to play, it's still not bad when it's time to make a move." Andora said with a smile, a little smug.

"Does the professor know him?"

"It's my hair small, but I haven't seen each other for a long time."

"He practiced martial arts?"

"I've practiced some ......"

"With this ability, it's really a bit condescending to be a security guard here."

When Leia said this, Andora's smug expression changed significantly.

"It's better not to say these things to his face."

"Has anything happened to him before?"

"You don't have to ask," Andora replied, quickly reverting to a mocking tone, "Alright, go back to your work, and let the police take care of the rest." ”

*****

Leo saw the police car appear more than ten minutes later. Despite the busy road conditions, Leo's rapid appearance of police cars did not surprise Leo, who was surprised by the number of police cars - seven cars in total, and more than 20 police officers came down and walked towards the gate. He hurriedly opened the door.

Walking in the front was the deputy captain of the third criminal police team, Junsha Hawke, a tall woman about the same height as Leo, who came straight to Leo.

"Good work, Leo, good job."

"It's a trivial matter, Sister Junsha." Leo replied and pointed to the man who was still lying, "That's him." ”

"Okay, you take him in the car."

The two policemen behind Junsha helped the man up, and when they went out, Leo noticed that two of the policemen outside were wearing civilian clothes and holding medical kits in their hands, and the two policemen were walking towards them with the man.

"Those are the doctors?" Leo asked.

"yes."

Strange. In general, shouldn't a person be taken back to the police station to investigate, where he will be treated?

"Let's not talk about that, Leo," Junsha's words interrupted Leo's thoughts, "you, as the client, have to come with us. ”

"I know, the workflow."

"But don't worry, it's good to be in the car."

"Didn't you go to the police station?"

"Not this time, come with me anyway."

It's inexplicable, Leo thought. This is an ordinary robbery incident, so many police officers do not say it, but they still have to work on the spot, when did they start talking about high efficiency?

The cranky Leo followed Junsha to the police car parked on the outskirts. Junsha pointed to the car, and then hurried away. Leo hesitated, opened the door and stepped into the back seat.

There was no one else in the car except the driver. Leo had just closed the doors, and all the doors clicked and locked at the same time.

Leo looked at the driver who had locked the door, and his expression of disgust was unobstructed.

"What's the matter with me, old man?"

"I haven't seen you for a while, and I'm still talking so big and small."

"What do you call that, Lord Mayor?"

"Can't you just call me grandpa?"

"Not that interested."

With that, Leo collapsed and was almost lying on his seat. And the driver, Mayor Rolov, glanced at his lazy grandson in the rearview mirror and turned his head in chagrin.

*****

"It's all clear, right? If there are not enough people, notify in time and go for it. ”

Junsha, who finished assigning tasks to her subordinates, wiped the sweat from her forehead. Leo didn't want to see Rolov, she knew it, but the mayor's order could not be disobeyed, so she had to coax Leo over, and she would definitely complain later.

Leo is the mayor's grandson and is no secret in the police department. Similarly, the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is not good, and even the bad thing is well known. As for why they are not doing well, only a handful of people know.

Rolov, the mayor, has been in office for almost 40 years. He is in his 70s and has long passed the age of retirement. However, with the strong demand of the citizens and the retention of the higher authorities, he agreed to postpone his retirement for a few more years, and his influence in Akiyama City can be seen. So far, his approval rating has not been lower than 70%, and the feelings of the citizens towards him can be described as love and even admiration.

In his eyes, nothing is more important than making a profit for Akiyama City. On the one hand, he will fulfill the duties of a mayor and strive to build the city, and on the other hand, those and organizations who dare to harm the interests of the city will be ruthlessly attacked. All his actions are centered on the city, and anything that is detrimental to the city must be expelled, even if it is contrary to the interests of the state.

There are many supporters, and there are naturally many enemies. Since the age of 65, the year he reached retirement age, the outside world has never stopped accusing him. The "Emperor of the Soil" of Akiyama is overpowered, has no national law, abuses power, and fakes the public for personal gain, etc., such voices are endless. But Rolov always won the mayoral race and took the mayoral position reasonably and legally. It is often pointed out that this is the result of a black-box operation, but maybe, anyway, so far there is not enough evidence in this regard. And Rolov's position in Akiyama has been as solid as a rock, coupled with his various tough performances and skills, he is known as the "domineering mayor".

However, even such a tough mayor has someone who can't help it, that is, a grandson who is more "domineering" than him.

Those who know Leo well know that he didn't live in Akiyama City before, and only came here in July last year. Previously, Leo had been abroad all year round, and his hometown was in the northern city of Arandel in the Arctic Countries, thousands of miles away from the city of Akiyama.

Usually, Leo returned to his home five or six times a year, and Rolov's inauguration as mayor was before Leo was born, and the old man had been settling in Akiyama City. In this way, Leo rarely sees his grandfather, and the fact that the grandparents have such a large separation may also have something to do with it.

Of course, blood ties are continuous after all. When Leo first arrived in Akiyama City, he was down. Penniless and unwilling to go back to Arandel, Rolov helped him rent a house and get him a few jobs, but he chose to become a security guard on the grounds that he had more time to play games. The 20s are a great time in a person's life, and it is the time to do business, and Rolov has said more than once that he has failed, disappointing the old man.

"If you have something to say, I'm still busy."

After a few minutes of silence, Leo broke the silence with a provocative word.

"Busy playing games?" Rolov sarcastically said.

"Yes and what? Hurry up. ”

"Then you'd better give up on the idea."

Leo couldn't help but sit up straighter: "What do you mean?" Isn't this a robbery? ”

Rolov snorted, looked at the closed windows on both sides, looked at the back of the car in the rearview mirror, and saw no one around, before finally looking back to the front and saying something that made Leo depressed.

"It's not a robbery, boy. You've got something going on – something big about the whole city. ”
