Chapter Eighty-Six: The Shadow
The news that a team of criminals broke into the venue spread quickly, and although the process was a little incredible, the senators still spoke highly of Lu Xiang's on-the-spot command.
The afternoon meeting was held as usual, but the security personnel on the scene fell into a state of high tension, during the meeting, Captain Doug called up all the video from this morning, and asked the "mouse" to sit in front of the screen and compare them one by one.
For Song Lan, the only good news is probably that after realizing that Dorago Safron had infiltrated the venue, his colleagues did not bother to eat snacks and drink anymore, the patrol personnel tripled, and the rest of the team members all went to the hotel next door to the venue.
It was the residence of senators during the city-wide meeting, and they had to compare the identities of the hotel attendants to make sure that no one had been impersonated.
The two cleaners were so injured that they were sent to a nearby hospital by Captain Doug.
In order to help his colleagues work better, Song Lan temporarily closed the food stall and was able to go on leave indefinitely until Dolago Safron was found.
He stayed in the command center all afternoon, seemingly on the front line at all times, but in fact he didn't do anything, just watching the bloodshot eyes of the "rats" on the sidelines, trying to find out the killers who infiltrated the venue from the surveillance videos.
Of course, they couldn't have found Doragor on the surveillance footage, because the real killer was there at the moment......
"Found it!"
The ecstatic voice of the "mouse" startled Song Lan, and the colleagues in the command center were also shocked, and Captain Doug stepped forward first to freeze the video.
Song Lan had to admit that Mr. "Mouse" was probably the only criminal who could shock him out of a cold sweat during this time, and he hurriedly got up.
It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, the wide trench coat hides his physical features, and when he goes to meet the "mouse", he also specially wears an inner height.
In other words, even if the "rat" can really see through the phenomenon, the person he identifies will be a big man with a body similar to that of Captain Doug.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the freeze-frame screen.
The scene in the video was clearly cut from the hotel next door, and the location looked like a staff passage in the dressing area, and he had not been to the hotel since he entered the venue today.
Therefore, whoever the "rat" identifies, it cannot be him.
According to Song Lan's analysis, it is most likely that the "rat" stared at the screen all afternoon looking for a non-existent person and hallucinated, mistaking an innocent passerby for Dorago.
However, when Captain Doug rewinds the video a few seconds, Song Lan's eyes widen in surprise.
Although the figure flashed, he did see Dorago's figure from a position close to the blind spot of the monitor, and when Doug froze the screen again, the black shadow that flashed on the screen became clearer.
A black trench coat and a smile mask used at the ball.
The figure existed in the footage for less than two seconds, and it appears to have been captured without a doubt.
It turns out that the "mouse" is not hallucinating, and Dolargo Safron did appear in the video.
For a while, many possibilities emerged in Song Lan's mind.
The first thing he thought about was that Mr. Killer, who was sleeping at the bottom of the lake in the suburbs, had woken up and decided to return to the battlefield?
But then he dismissed that thought, because even if Mr. Killer woke up, his prosthetic eye was still in the safe in his bedroom.
Then it seems that only the Grand Prosecutor Dominus remains.
The two inmates who infiltrated the cleaners' procession, as well as the procession that gathered at the main entrance in the morning, proved that Dominas had been in contact with Dominas before the "rats" took action, and that it was Dominas who had taken advantage of the fantasical leader of the crime syndicate from the beginning.
Then, the figure that appears on the screen is probably also the layout of Dominas.
Captain Doug also made a judgment immediately, and he ordered one of the special operations teams to stay and watch the "rats", while he himself led a group of people straight to the hotel.
Dorago Safron had already infiltrated the hotel, and everything was as Lu Xiang had speculated, and he used the commotion caused by the "rats" and others to cover for himself, with the aim of doing it after nightfall when all the senators had checked into the hotel.
A quarter of an hour later, Captain Doug, who had searched the locker floor, found the body of the doorman crushed and almost deformed in one of the closets, along with Dorago's changed clothes.
They immediately cordoned off the hotel and searched every floor, but could not find any references to Dolargo.
The other party disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated.
The census-style search for hotel service staff is also coming to an end, and the hotel manager has gathered all the staff, and each one of them has been carefully compared and no abnormalities have been found.
Doug knew he couldn't take it lightly, there were too many places for him to hide in the hotel for a professional killer.
Even before they called up the footage, Dolago had anticipated this and left the hotel.
Song Lan, who was sitting in the command center, also fell into deep thought.
He had always believed that Dominus had a different purpose in encouraging the "rats", and that it was only incidental to make the law enforcement department make a fool of himself, but Dorago, who should not have appeared in the surveillance video, confirmed this.
He didn't know the identity of the pretender for the time being, but Dominas was different from the "rat" who was a halfway monk, as the new leader of the inspection department, the surveillance of the venue and the hotel was clear to him, and even if he really arranged someone to disguise Dorago Safron, he would not be careless enough to be captured by the hotel's surveillance video.
Unless......
From the beginning, he wanted people to see the surveillance footage.
The figure in the video only appeared in the close blind spot for less than two seconds, and even Lu Xiang would have a preconceived idea that Dolargo had infiltrated the hotel after seeing this video, with the aim of assassinating a senator at night.
After all, she didn't know that everyone's best friend, Mr. Killer, was now sleeping at the bottom of the lake in the suburbs.
Other words......
Dominas's goal was Lu Xiang from the beginning.
As long as Lu Xiang sees this video, she will follow the "clues" designed by the other party in advance, and thus fall into the trap of the other party step by step.
"Section Chief, Section Chief!"
The tablet that was constantly shaking in front of him finally interrupted Song Lan's thoughts.
Valen's eyes were nervous and concerned, and new words soon appeared on the tablet:
"Your hands are bleeding, doesn't it matter?"
She was referring to Song Lan's thumb.
Song Lan glanced down at the bite wound on her thumb and realized that it seemed to be a bad habit.
"It doesn't matter."
He smiled slightly and said, "I was just a little nervous just now, but now it's fine." ”
