Deputy Mayor (56)
After the explosion, the mayor hurried back to the government office and fell limp in his chair. Think about what made him feel so wrong in the whole plan.
If Penelope had been responsible for the explosion, the next step would have been a full investigation of the night gentleman, and wouldn't he be afraid to find something unsightly? What was the problem? Joyce pressed the small fishroom of his hands together vigorously, and the big fishroom opened slightly, and kept tapping his forehead. No way, I can't go wrong. No way, ah!" Joyce stood up suddenly.
All the things on the table were lifted at once, and the supplies on the table were scattered all over the floor. The mayor's secretary hurriedly ran in when he heard the sound, bent down and helped the mayor clear his things.
"Mayor, what's wrong with you..."
The mayor crossed his waist and spun around, "It's okay" raised his hand, waved, and motioned for the secretary to hurry up.
The secretary finished clearing his things and was about to leave, but was stopped by the mayor.
The mayor raised his hand and shook it up and down, "That, that" but stared at the ground in a trance.
"Deputy Mayor, where did Ronaldo go?"
"Ahh
"What!" Joyce turned his head in panic, "this, how did I forget!"
The mayor hurriedly buttoned up his clothes and walked out quickly, "Help me arrange, I'm going to the scene." ”
When the mayor drove to the scene, the fire had been controlled, and the deputy mayor was arranging the evacuation of people in an orderly manner.
"What do you want to do!" J Ronaldo was screamed by Joyce against the wall deep in the alley!
"Organizing a Rescue"
"Are you in charge?!What are you running here to pretend?"
J Ronaldo pushed Joyce away, "I don't like to hear this, isn't it the duty of each of us to care for the citizens? Ronaldo straightened his clothes and went straight out, leaving Joyce behind.
The more Joyce thought about it, the more wrong it became, and beckoned the secretary to come over, "You transfer the information of the deputy mayor to me and put it on my desk." Immediately, immediately!"
Joyce then called to arrange a search at the scene of the explosion, hoping to find clues about the bomber.
Back in the office, Joyce picked up the information about the deputy mayor on the table, and the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, because the information was too clean. Then there was a knock on the office door,
"Come in" Joyce looked at the deputy mayor's information over and over again, motioned for the person outside the door to come in, and found that the person who came in was Bledsoe. He put down the information in his hand, and the originally nervous expression on his face suddenly relaxed a lot, "What's the matter?"
In the days that followed, Bledsoe told the mayor about Weeks' speculation. The mayor was amazed, but he still looked as calm as usual, and he carefully pondered Wicks' speculation. Looking back at the information of the deputy mayor on the table, he stood up all of a sudden, "Why didn't you notice this person before!" Walking back and forth, the scene of the night gentleman's explosion brought him a sense of disobedience that was immediately resolved. The mayor finally realized where the discord had been bothering him all along—that only the top floor of the Night Gentleman had exploded!
I heard the mayor suddenly blow up, "Who is the person in charge of the search this time?"
"K," Bledsoe said, and then added, "The deputy mayor's guy."
The mayor suddenly seemed to have his soul drained, and he wanted to hold on, but he suddenly softened on the chair. "It's over, it's all lost"
Besides, Pete, suddenly he noticed that there were more policemen on the street, so he quickly stopped, retracted into the alley, and saw them looking around, as if they were looking for something. His first instinct told himself that the matter must have been exposed, so he took the crowd as a cover, and ran through the loophole, and before he knew it, he ran into an underground parking lot, and his feet were empty, and he rolled on the ground several times, and slammed into the wall. Then I saw a man walk in through the entrance of the parking lot, "Who is it?" Pete stood up in a panic, looked intently, and saw that it was Wicks.
Just as he was about to run up, the bone-chilling chill in the soles of his feet suddenly came up, and Pete stopped.
"You're here to catch me."
"yes. ”
Pete looked around, only to find that this parking lot turned out to be the parking lot where Wicks and Tian Yuan met three years ago, Pete involuntarily touched the knife in his pocket,
"The police outside are here to arrest me."
"Yes"
"Did you let them come?"
"Yes"
Pete gritted his teeth,
"I trust you so much!
Wicks paused for a moment before he said again, "Pete, some mistakes are made."
Pete pulled out his knife and rushed at Weeks, "What's wrong with me!
Just as the knife was about to slash into Wicks's face, Wicks closed his eyes, so close, Pete saw Wicks's face clearly, the face that was no longer young, and there were more serious ones, and the burns had not even healed. It's gratitude, it's self-blame, it's fear, it's repentance, it's despair!
Pete "Dong" immediately knelt in front of Wicks, supporting the ground, and the string that had been stretched in his heart for so long to support him to continue, "Click-" was so completely broken, at this time, Pete was like a mad dog that had just been gutted and was about to die, desperately holding Wicks's leg with the last bit of strength, rubbing helplessly, for him, it seemed that once he let go, it was really over. "Uncle, I... What should I do, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to make my wife sad, I don't want to, I don't want to..." Wicks opened his eyes and looked at Pete, who knew that Pete's arrival in this place showed how much he longed to be found in his heart. It is so painful for a child to endure so much alone! Then I remembered myself when I was a child, because I killed someone, I was driven into exile everywhere, I had no home, no acceptance, no confiding. So maybe only Wicks can really feel Pete's pain. Wicks had calculated before that Pete would not be able to avoid a minimum of 3 years in prison, and Degus had never had a juvenile prison, so Wicks knew what three years meant to Pete, even if it was a year, it was a more terrifying place than hell for a child. Wicks felt so uncomfortable looking at the scared kid that he crouched down, touched Pete's head, and stuffed a bundle of money and an escape route map into Pete's pocket.
"Go back to the slums, ma'am, I'll take care of you"
Without waiting for Pete to reply, he hugged Pete tightly in his arms, as if this was the first time Wicks had held a person so hard, for a long time, and finally Wicks let go, stood up, and walked out without looking back, "Don't let me see you next time, next time I see you, I will definitely catch you." ”
Pete was left alone in the empty parking lot, watching Weeks disappear in a daze.
As soon as Wicks walked out of the parking lot, he staggered a few steps, and hurriedly found an alley where no one was around, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground at once, covering his chest with both hands, and spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person curled up on the ground and struggled for a long time, slowly got up, leaned against the wall, looked at the blue sky of Degus, remembered Pete, and sighed. "Whether he can escape or not is up to him"
Wicks raised his hand and looked at the eye of the needle in his hand, "It looks like I'll have to continue fighting when I go back." A wry smile slowly appeared on Wicks' tattered face.
