Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Historic Meeting
At 22:30 p.m., all floors of the hotel were powered off.
The sudden power outage caught the security guards off guard and quickly spread fear among the senators, who had already heard the news that a killer had infiltrated the hotel, and the sudden power outage was a signal that the killer was about to do something.
The people who can become senators in the seventeenth district have all stepped on countless contenders, so each of them can easily think of a reason for their assassination.
In this regard, Song Lan, who went out after hearing the news, just wanted to say that everyone should be calm, no one will come to assassinate you so much, and you take yourself too seriously.
But no matter what he thought, the senator's panic still consumed a lot of manpower, and it was not until three teams of patrolling security personnel were placed on each floor that they were willing to return to their rooms to rest, and some of the less courageous people called the security personnel directly into their rooms to guard, in case the killer suddenly entered their room.
In such a difficult environment, Captain Doug counted the number of senators within a quarter of an hour.
The number of people is neat, but the mayor of Lyon is nowhere to be found.
Five minutes later, they learned from witnesses that the mayor of Lyon had left his room two minutes before the entire hotel was powered off, walked out of the hotel door and headed straight for the venue.
The service staff wanted to report the news to Captain Doug, but before they could find Doug, the power system throughout the hotel went down.
After that, there was a quarter of an hour of panic.
While the security guards were busy reassuring the senators, Leon Cellbot had already reached the basement level of the venue.
This area was originally intended for staff to rest and store data, but as the network became more developed and the information base became more secure, most of the data storage rooms in each venue were abolished, and people now prefer to use a dedicated information library to store data.
Nowadays, it is a simple resting place, and even later due to the expansion of the venue, even the staff rarely come here.
Leon Cerbot came here because of a premonition for no reason.
As he revised his speech and prepared for tomorrow's meeting, a voice suddenly came to his mind, guiding him here, where an important person was waiting for him.
With the help of the faint light of his mobile phone, Leon finally came to a door through a long, dark corridor.
With trepidation, he pushed open the door deep in the hallway.
A candle was lit inside the door, and the flickering flame made him feel as if he had returned to the era of withering materials decades ago, and sitting next to the candle was a familiar face.
Grand Prosecutor Dominas.
He vaguely remembered that he had met the new Grand Attorney many times before the citywide meeting, because the other party represented the Foster family to a certain extent.
To his delight, the Foster family sided with him in the campaign.
With the support of the Foster family, the situation for re-election will become very optimistic.
Well?
Did he forget something?
Recently, perhaps due to too much stress, his memory has deteriorated significantly, and there are often incoherent gaps in the memories in his mind.
However, if he can be re-elected, it will be worth it.
Leon was quick to convince himself and decided to leave that small void of memory behind.
"It's a nostalgic place, if you hadn't set up a city-wide meeting system, I'm afraid this venue would have been forgotten like other obsolete buildings."
Dominus began, "You gave it meaning and made it a symbol of the city's meeting." ”
"This is to express to the citizens of the 17th arrondissement that I am determined not to compromise with criminals, but ...... You asked me here for more than that, right? ”
"Of course, it's very important for me that you're here."
This venue was the beginning of Lyon's political career.
Perhaps, it is not a bad thing that his career as a grand prosecutor is a real starting point.
"Oh? I wonder what you mean by significance. ”
"It means that you are going to bring an important person here...... Am I right, Director Lu? ”
Dominus deliberately raised his voice and said out the door.
After realizing that the mayor of Lyon has left his room, Lu Xiang will definitely investigate his whereabouts, and the people he has planted will inform the security personnel of the mayor's whereabouts in due course.
After learning the news, Lu Xiang will definitely come here as soon as possible.
However, Dominus was responded to by a long period of silence.
Time passed minute by minute, and his tone changed from full of confidence to a little hesitant, "Director Lu, I know you're at the door, let's come in and talk." ”
There was a long silence again.
After a long time, Leon had to break the deadly silence, "It seems that Director Lu didn't seem to be here, do you need me to help you contact her?" ”
The embarrassment spread rapidly through the room, and Dominus gritted his teeth, his face flushed, but fortunately the room was dimly lit, and his expression of such gaffe was not completely exposed to Leon.
Hey?
Odd.
It stands to reason that Lu Xiang will come here as soon as possible anyway, why did the other party start to play cards out of the routine at this juncture?
Could it be that his plan has been discovered?
Dominus's next prepared speeches were all aimed at Lu Xiang, and in his opinion, this would be the first time he really confronted Lu Xiang, and it could be regarded as a historic moment for the entire Seventeenth District.
But after missing Lu Xiang, what should he say?
Is it awkward to talk to the mayor of Lyon in this gloomy little room?
Dominus was so anxious that he wanted to call Lu Xiang in person, and angrily asked her that the mayor of Lyon had been led by him to this room full of explosives, what did you do as the commander-in-chief of the security personnel of the venue?
Just as the awkward atmosphere was about to climb to its peak, a voice from outside the two broke the silence.
"If you're looking for Lu Xiang, she shouldn't show up."
The two of them followed the prestige, and the one who appeared at the door was a man wearing a black trench coat and a prom mask on his face.
In this gloomy environment, he almost became one with the darkness around him.
For a moment, Dominus actually had the idea that Lu Xiang had been killed by the person in front of him.
However, the other party's next words shattered his illusions, "Because they are busy surrounding Dorago Saffron on the top floor of the hotel, and they don't have time to come here, if you have anything to tell her, I can convey it to you later." ”
