Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sky Has Changed
November 20th.
Jianqing Festival.
8:43 p.m.
Fourteen minutes after the Jianqing Gala was forced to stop live broadcasting due to riots.
A middle-aged strong man with short gray hair tried to enter the Lianhu Mansion and was prevented from causing no casualties.
During the special period, the guards who were frightened by the assassins arrested Lao Bai as soon as possible and locked him in a prison waiting to be released.
The Minister of Internal Affairs of the Donghuang Corps in the North Central Region was alarmed by this grand farce and visited the city of Kote in person.
In front of the Corps, there are no secrets to speak of.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly transferred the relationship between Chen Mo and Lao Bai, and the father and son were imprisoned together.
A meeting is being held at the upper echelons of Coater City, trying to find out the evidence that Chen Mo and Lao Bai are spies on their home planet.
Only Xu Tiegong, head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Donghuang Corps, was silent.
"You haven't thought about it, what he said may be true."
……
The particularity of the ability makes Chen Mo the best sandbag.
Chen Mo was hung up day and night and beaten for more than 20 hours.
Even steel can be deformed.
The spirit cannot cross the limits of the physical body.
Chen Mo's will was on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, there was a big man in the upper echelons who wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, and ordered a suspension of Chen Mo's torture to leave him breathing.
Chen Mo, who was covered in bruises, was thrown into the cell.
Lao Bai is also there.
He slowly walked to Chen Mo's side and helped Chen Mo sit against the wall.
Chen Mo's biological energy is almost exhausted, and his eye sockets are deeply sunken, which is described as withered.
After licking his chapped lips and making sure that Lao Bai was not injured, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Old man, why did you come in." ”
"Let's see how much more trouble you kid can make." Lao Bai rubbed Chen Mo's head like a father, took the mineral water bottle and fed Chen Mo some water: "Can you still hold it?" ”
"Hold on." Chen Mo moistened his throat.
"Why?"
"I accepted the commission."
"You're not someone who would work for money."
Chen Mo was silent for a moment.
"He gave me all his life and his life, and no one can avenge him except me."
"So you can die for it?"
Chen Mo lowered his head: "I didn't think about it, step by step, it came to this point." ”
"Kid, I can't wipe your ass for the rest of your life." Lao Bai sighed: "There will always be times when I can't do anything. ”
"Understood."
Outside, a magistrate came to pick him up.
"White Stone, you can go."
Lao Bai patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and was taken out of the prison by the law enforcement officer.
Chen Mo looked at the small piece of eridium metal stuffed by Lao Bai in his wound and was stunned.
……
More than a month has passed since the vicious assassination on Jianqing Festival.
In the past few dozen days, the city of Cotter has been turned upside down.
Liu Liang was re-arraigned, shaved off in wailing, and put on a memory-reading machine.
After knowing the whole story of Inspector Zhai's hiring of the night owl, and even related to the murder of the law enforcement officer, he was furious up and down, seeing that the posture had the posture of pulling Inspector Zhai out again and whipping the corpse.
The relevant figures, the mastermind of the incident, AC Chairman Yin Changfeng was imprisoned, and the Sui City Lord was not spared, and he was directly impeached by the parliament, and was put down to the ranks of the famine-hunters, whether he died or lived depends on the destiny of heaven.
No matter how stormy the upper echelons are, the city of Cotter is still stable and thriving.
Lu Diping sat in the position of the city lord, and the position of the chief of law enforcement was held by the former director of Shangcheng District.
As for the position of superintendent, after the popular vote, Zheng Qi, the deputy director of District H, who has not yet taken office, won by an absolute advantage.
You can't do anything about this kind of thing.
Since Jianqing's live broadcast was interrupted, most people didn't know what happened later that day, and who the assassin was became a topic of conversation after dinner.
All information is hidden behind the shadows.
The fierce man who works at the Shiraishi Tavern smells something different.
Behind the shady scenes, there are often two directions - let the person concerned die quietly and never be able to speak.
But the city lords were all down, and the fierce people preferred to believe that the authorities were trying to protect Chen Mo.
The tragic death of the inspector made the upper echelons of Cotter jealous of Chen Mo.
His killing completely upset the existing balance.
The upper echelons pay attention to a rule, several powerful figures stand in the team of the city lord, and several powerful figures stand in Lu Diping's team, checking and balancing each other without losing balance, and it is also safe to check and balance each other while maintaining everyone's existing income.
No matter which faction is in power, it will not exterminate the other.
The only unlucky one is the current city lord.
But Chen Mo, a reckless character, broke this rule with his fists.
At the Jianqing venue, he killed Zhai Bin, the wallhead grass that both factions were fighting for.
Both waves felt they had lost an important ally.
Chen Mo moved everyone's cake.
Kurt's higher-ups all wanted Chen Mo to die.
But Xu Tiegong didn't want Chen Mo to die silently.
So this game continues to ferment.
……
The most severe prison in the central and northern regions is not the first prison in space, nor is it a low-earth orbit heavy punishment camp.
Rather, it is a separate island prison known as Alcatraz.
In the nearly thirty years since it was built, not a single person has escaped from Alcatraz.
The few people who were released from prison here also became famous warlords or tyrants in the future.
Contrary to rumors, there are not many guards on Alcatraz Island, not even high-voltage electricity and barbed wire.
But only those on the island know the dangers of this – this is one of the few places in the Ross Star Settlement where the Straker biosphere remains.
The people who are imprisoned here are all anti-human and anti-social criminals.
There are self-destructive maniacs, ruthless people with dozens of enemies, and a few third-level mutant maniacs who abuse their abilities.
It was noon, and the sun was dazzling.
More than 70 prisoners gathered in the square to enjoy lunch.
The small ship roared and dropped a metal rectangular object with a parachute from mid-air.
It's a cage.
"Peng!"
The cage fell to the ground, and several guards stepped forward to open the cage with the password they had received long ago.
The prisoners laughed fiercely, and finally there was a new one.
The cries and blood of the newcomers are one of the few pleasures on Alcatraz.
The person in the cage is naturally Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was wearing a black leather hood on his head, and the handcuffs and shackles were all oversized and custom-made, which was so thick that even a third-level ability could not tear it apart.
The guard removed his hood, revealing a pale face.
Chen Mo subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the sun.
He hadn't seen the sun in a long time.
After a long time, Chen Mo got used to the light, and then slowly lowered his hand and smiled at the guard.
"Is there any smoke?"
The guard hesitated, remembering the 'meet the needs of life as much as possible' in the order he received, nodded, took out a red plum, and handed it to Chen Mo's mouth, seeing that it was inconvenient for him to light a cigarette with shackles, and intimately handed him a fire.
Chen Mo lowered his head and lit it, taking a deep breath.
Spit out slowly.
"It's cool."
The prisoners' eyes changed.
The magnitude of a person's crime can be seen from the thickness of the shackles and the attitude of the guards.
Where is this new prisoner?
Handcuffs and shackles that explode at regular intervals, sheriffs light cigarettes...
Did he assassinate the commander of the Donghuang Corps?
Among the prisoners, an old man with a cigarette in his mouth spoke.
"No one should mess with this newcomer."
