Tonight, many people are destined to be unable to sleep peacefully.

Among them was the Grand Prosecutor Dominus, who returned home with a sudden piece of news that completely disrupted his plans.

The body with the back of the neck device removed was found in the guardhouse of the mayor's house, a pack of solvent he had given to the mayor's secretary was missing, and Roger's man, who was scheduled to be shot, was hit by a speeding car before he could do so.

It can be said that all the plans he arranged today ended in failure.

It reminded him of the death of Fein-Elnium.

He was also caught off guard.

Dominus finally realized that the plan he had made was probably wrong from the beginning, and in his original idea, he wanted to control Leon Celbot, use his power to overthrow Lu Xiang, and wait for a suitable opportunity to concoct the entire law enforcement department firmly in the palm of his hand, and at the same time secretly re-establish a criminal who has the ability to control the "trade lane" outside the border.

In this way, District 17 will be able to return to its original state.

No, it should be said that it will become a better city than in the past, so that the Foster family, who is far away in the core area, can also find his true value.

However, Dominus found that he seemed to have made the same mistake as An Jie, that is, he thought that Lu Xiang was fighting alone.

Prior to this, the Foster family had already transferred to Lu Xiang's file.

The outstanding graduates of the well-known military schools in the second district, although they graduated with the first grades, were not appreciated by the big family and the coalition government, because her character was too upright, and she also harbored unrealistic illusions about the world, and it was afraid that the inclusion of such a person in the establishment would only have the opposite effect in the future.

History has proven countless times that some unrealistic fantasies are contagious, spreading among people like an imperceptible plague, and when discovered, they are often already on a scale.

And for decades, coalition governments have been working to nip the plague in its cradle.

Although Lu Xiang has good grades in school, for the coalition government and the big family, the same graduates will appear every year, so why should they take the risk of accepting such a restless factor?

As it should be.

This is also one of the few issues on which Dominas and Anjie can maintain the same view.

Transferring Lu Xiang to a border city to serve as the leader of an insignificant department is no different from distributing the frontier, and in her lifetime, I am afraid it will be difficult to step into the core area for half a step.

Because of this, getting rid of Lu Xiang can be regarded as solving a hidden danger for the coalition government to a certain extent, as long as the means are not too out of line, the coalition government will also adopt an attitude of turning a blind eye.

Now, however, Dominas has to revisit the issue.

From the deaths of Chai Ke and Anjie Foster, to all the strange things that have happened recently, it seems that every time the authorities face Lu Xiang's disadvantage, there will be some invisible force to help her save the day, allowing her to survive one carefully arranged death situation after another.

Is such a person really an outcast who has been abandoned by the core region?

"Knock knock—"

A knock on the door interrupted Dominus' thoughts.

For him, it was not only a sleepless night, but also an atmosphere of horror - because according to the news brought by the mayor's secretary, the change in the guardhouse happened around the time he left, doesn't this mean that the conversation between him and the mayor is very likely to have fallen into the eyes of the other party?

Everything he knows may be a secret signal deliberately transmitted by the other party.

And the power behind Lu Xiang has come to his door at this moment.

In his anxiety and panic, Dominus leaned towards the door like a turtle, and it took him a few minutes from the living room to the cat.

Not surprisingly, there was a terrifying person outside the cat's eye.

Dominus adjusted his mood and finally pushed the door open.

What awaited him at the other end of the door was not an imaginary killer, but a package encapsulated in an archival bag.

There is only one mini chip in the package.

Without giving it a second thought, Dominus plugged the chip into his computer.

It was a video from the Law Enforcement Department, and it took place tonight, on a street he wasn't familiar with.

It's late at night, but there are still cars coming and going on the street, as well as workers who have just gotten off work and are walking like walking corpses.

The protagonist of the video is a homeless man whose mental state is obviously different from that of ordinary people.

When the homeless man pulls out a rifle from a trash can on the side of the street, Dominus finally understands the identity of the other party - to get rid of Roger, which is indeed the order he had given, but after giving the order, he did not pay attention to the details.

Now, however, he had to pay attention to all the details of what had happened tonight.

The time is 23:07:31.

The homeless man in the video completes the assembly of the firearm and walks towards the building across the road as if he were dead.

At the same time, a speeding sedan appeared beside him.

The homeless man's body was lifted out by the impact of the car, along with the rifle.

And when Dominus played it back, he finally discovered a detail that really sent chills down his spine.

After 23:07:31, the time in the lower right corner of the video jumped directly to 23:07:47.

Sixteen of those seconds vanished out of thin air.

Passers-by on the street were not aware of what had happened in the moment, even the driver of the car, and the reason why Dominus subconsciously reversed the video was to see how the two cars were approaching the homeless man.

The number in the bottom right corner of the video gives the answer to this question.

Because between 31 and 47 seconds, it disappeared for 16 seconds, and this 16 seconds was enough for a car hundreds of meters away to appear directly next to the homeless man.

And the 16 seconds of disappearance also seem to explain how the murderer fled the scene after the deaths of Chai Ke and Anjie, and why Fiin-Elnium, who was supposed to be invincible in the 17th district, died on the street for no apparent reason.

Fear did not subside with the answer, but grew rapidly in silence.

Unknown abilities.

This is what the enemy really is.

Dominus suddenly remembered something, and bounced almost straight from the computer desk, he first looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, then took out his phone, turned on the TV, and rummaged through the cabinets in the living room, looking for everything that could show the time.

All the numbers he saw pointed to 1:37:17 a.m.

It seems that he scared himself just now.

Dominus breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, however, what was being played on the TV brought the fear to a creep.

"That's all for today's news, thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time."

The announcer's voice came over the TV.

1:30 a.m.

And this is the right time for the evening news of the 17th arrondissement to end.
