57、miss?
"Lady Butterfly..."
"Madam, you can't go up for the time being."
"Madame..."
As a challenger to the existing ruling order, Yan Feng has become the focus of discussion among slave owners in the inner city since he officially announced his participation in the Citizen Duel Competition.
Although no one is sure whether this "rebellion" will succeed at the moment, Lady Phoenix's current status has indeed been elevated to the level of a magistrate and a member of the ordinary committee...
This is something that even the majority of the neutrals who do not participate in the struggle have to admit.
Because of this, Yan Feng's action of leading his subordinates into the western surveillance tower and meeting directly with Zhou Congrong will undoubtedly be regarded as a signal of intensified contradictions!
But just as the onlookers were holding their breath and waiting for the situation to develop further, the entry point chosen by Mrs. Fengdie was somewhat unexpected.
"I heard that Mr. Zhou caught the murderer of the shooting operation - I want to see what kind of fanatic dares to disrupt the order of the Citizen Duel Competition?"
“... Madam. ”
The person in charge of the Grand Duel Arena had just gotten up, and before he could open his mouth to explain a word or two, he sat back in his place in embarrassment under the forced gaze of the magistrates.
Behind him, Zhou Congrong, who was holding the scepter, took the initiative to take over the conversation.
"That mad madman has been killed on the spot, and if you're here just to check on the security of the tournament, you can come back now. The rest will be left to the four magistrates for deliberation. ”
Compared to the last time we met at the bar, Mr. Zhou's attitude was noticeably more stern - now that the two sides were in a state of competition and had already set up their horses, the way they dealt with each other was naturally completely different from the previous hypocrisy.
Zhou Congrong was suppressing Yan Feng with the privilege of a magistrate, obviously not wanting to give the other party a chance to speak.
However, Mrs. Phoenix Butterfly is not the first day to join this Game of Thrones, and it is naturally unrealistic to want to send her away in a word.
"The Citizens' Duel was originally a solemn event for all legal citizens of the relay station, and since the shooting involved the contestants, as one of the participants in this competition, I think everyone should have the right to know about the follow-up of this matter."
Madame Phoenix paused for a moment, her gaze swept over the heads of several leaders present in turn, and finally landed on the person in charge of the Grand Duel Arena.
"Or is there some hidden reason in this accident that cannot be made public, and the organizer intends to hide it for the people involved?"
"No, no, no... There is no such thing. ”
"Yan Feng, do you have to insist on resisting the decision made by the magistrate?"
"I just want to remind the organizers that they must be accountable to all participants – and if the arena cannot give a satisfactory explanation to everyone, I have the right to have reasonable doubts about the fairness of this dueling match."
“...”
Madame Fung was very careful in her choice of words - before she successfully won the magistrate's seat, as a member of the committee, she could easily be labeled as a deliberator if she had a head-on confrontation with the incumbent magistrate in public.
Yan Feng didn't want to be caught by the other party on this kind of detail, so he just pointed the spearhead to the person in charge of the Grand Duel Arena, using the topic to play and kill people with a knife, so as to avoid the trap set by Zhou Congrong's words.
Of course...
As a borrowed "knife", the situation in the Grand Duel Arena is not so good.
If Zhou Congrong directly used his power to force him to comply, Mrs. Fengdie was threatening him with the most important business reputation in the duel industry!
The bigwigs on both sides are clenching their fists and secretly competing under the table, but they all chose him, an unlucky guy, as an intermediary to compete for internal strength!
If this stalemate continues, his net worth will probably not be able to guarantee the day when the situation will calm down.
- The water of the wall-riding faction is too deep to grasp.
The person in charge knew in his heart that the time had come to make a choice.
He briefly struggled for a few seconds, and finally forced himself through Mr. Zhou's men and stood closer to the staircase.
"Madam, the organizing committee of the competition has always adhered to an open and fair attitude in the operation of every duel - today's accident is indeed beyond our expectations, and until now, the investigation and evidence collection of this case have all been followed up by Mr. Zhou, if you have any questions, you can consult him directly. The dueling arena will match your actions. ”
"O... In that case, I wonder what the results of Mr. Zhou's investigation were? ”
Lady Butterfly wins a city!
She nodded with satisfaction, and then turned her gaze to Zhou Congrong's side.
"It's only been about 10 minutes since the shooting, and your men have not only arrested the suspect, but even completed the work of collecting physical evidence and finding witnesses, as if you knew in advance that there would be an incident today."
"I must remind you that Yan Feng was shooting at the east side of the surveillance tower, and there were no of my men there at that time."
"Provided that the gunman is not the one you recruited."
"Are you slandering the magistrate?" Zhou Congrong's eyes were cold: "According to the regulations, I propose to convene a committee meeting immediately to deprive a certain unworthy person from the seat of the committee." ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly slaughtered...
It has been a long time since the deprivation of the membership of the committee has happened, and this major event related to the future development of the relay station immediately attracted everyone's attention!
Whatever the reason, the eyes of the slave owners began to converge on Madame Phoenix!
… And the latter is still calm.
"Of course, this is the power given to you by all citizens."
She paused
"However, according to the rules, when a member of the committee has a disagreement with the active magistrate and the duel is officially held, the relevant issues should be postponed until after the tournament is over – you don't have to be in such a hurry."
"Heh, I don't think that's necessary."
Hooknose, who was also a magistrate, suddenly interjected.
"After all, I'm afraid that the gladiators sent by someone can't continue to compete, right?"
"That's right!"
"If someone chooses to abstain now, it will save everyone a lot of trouble." ”
"Haha, it's really beyond my strength!"
The laughter of the magistrates made the atmosphere tense again.
The person in charge of the dueling arena who had just adjusted the team turned even pale...
But in the face of the challenge, Mrs. Fengdie was still unfazed.
"According to the rules, even if someone intends to abstain from the tournament, the duel tournament must continue according to the original regulations until the champion is decided."
"Why bother? If you can't solve the problem by delaying time, why don't you leave yourself a decent way out? ”
"Sorry, I didn't understand what you meant."
In the face of ridicule, Yan Feng shook his head firmly
"Maybe it's something that you just said that caused a misunderstanding - I declare once again that Nightingale has no intention of withdrawing from this Civic Duel Tournament, and I don't want any of the contestants to withdraw unexpectedly due to off-court factors."
"What do you mean? That little white face is dead now, do you have any other contestants? ”
"Sorry, it looks like you really misunderstood."
Lady Butterfly shook her head again.
This time, she also pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, and gave a slightly mocking smile.
"The man behind the hired murderer probably spent unjust money this time, this guy is not an expert in the field at all - the bullet he shot did not hit the vital point of Lu Fuyan!
At present, the boss of Chen Weili is contacting medical personnel to bandage the injured, and if everything goes well, it will probably not affect the next game. ”
“...”
