In the evening, Wang Tao was studying spiritual power with Jiang Shixue, and by the way, he was discussing the murderer.

In their team, Jiang Shixue's ability is "spiritual", and Wang Tao and her can get some inspiration from discussing with each other.

The two finally came to the conclusion that the strength of the murderer who killed Yao Guodong was probably between the first and third orders. The two of them are more inclined to look like in the first and second orders.

If it was a fourth-order awakener, then he could kill Yao Guodong in an instant, there was no need to be so troublesome.

Of course, there is also the possibility of deliberately concealing and confusing the public...... However, Wang Tao still felt that the probability that the murderer was a fourth-order awakened person was not large.

Because this "preparation" is a bit too much - he asked Yao Guodong to drink, and asked him to come out to the toilet or something, and his two wives are probably still cooperating...... The more steps, the easier it is to make mistakes, and anyone with brains can see that Yao Guodong's death is too unexpected.

If Wang Tao himself or Jiang Shixue attacked Yao Guodong, even if they didn't use the impact of mental power to directly kill Yao Guodong, but created an accident like now, then this "accident" would definitely not be invisible, and it would not be so "rough......

As for the possibility that the murderer is a third-order, Wang Tao doesn't think it's too big. After all, Yao Guodong is only a first-order, although the third-order has not awakened, it can still kill Yao Guodong very easily, and in the same way, it can also be faked as an accident, not like now, there is a problem at a glance.

Therefore, Wang Tao feels that it is more likely that the murderer is a first- or second-order.

"When you go back, maybe you can find an opportunity to remind Gu Yun ......"

Wang Tao touched his chin and muttered to himself.

If the scope of the murderer is narrowed, the probability of finding the murderer will naturally be higher. However, the ability of spiritual power is too hidden, and if the other party deliberately hides it and does not expose it, it is still difficult to find out......

"Wang Tao, there is news!"

At this time, Han Rui suddenly walked over with an information watch.

After Wang Tao came back, he took a shower, changed his clothes, and didn't wear a message watch or anything.

Yao Guodong's death information was announced...... Said that he was frozen to death by accident......"

Looking at the news above, Wang Tao shook his head.

The news was announced sooner than he imagined, and as for Yao Guodong being frozen to death, Wang Tao felt that many people in the city hall did not believe it. But they couldn't find the murderer, so that's all they could say.

But when Wang Tao continued to look down, his eyes suddenly froze.

"Huh? Gu Yun is now the acting mayor? ”

Wang Tao was very surprised.

"Yes, Gu Yun has become the acting mayor! Although there is an extra word 'generation', this is equivalent to an 'assessment period', and once the deadline passes, you can be promoted to the real mayor! ”

Han Rui's face was serious.

"In other words, after Yao Guodong's death, the biggest beneficiary is Gu Yun?"

Wang Tao frowned.

He just told everyone that looking back to see who would benefit the most from Yao Guodong's death. The person who benefits the most will definitely become the biggest suspect, because there is a motive to kill Yao Guodong.

But Wang Tao didn't expect that the person who benefited the most was Gu Yun......

It's not that he has a lot of contact with Gu Yun and has a good relationship, so I believe that Gu Yun is not a murderer. Rather, this position of acting mayor should not be Gu Yun's turn, right? Aren't there three deputy mayors?

According to Wang Tao's understanding, Gu Yun, the secretary general, and the secretary team led by him are dedicated to helping the leaders deal with and coordinate things, he is not responsible for specific affairs, he does not have much real power, and his main power comes from the leadership. And the three deputy mayors, each responsible for all affairs, have a lot of real power.

Even if you don't look at the real power, just look at the status, Gu Yun is half a level behind the three deputy mayors...... It stands to reason that the promotion of the mayor should also be selected from these three deputy mayors, right?

Wang Tao had already listed the three deputy mayors as suspects, but he didn't expect Gu Yun to take the position......

"I don't really understand, why Gu Yun is the acting mayor, is all this really planned by Gu Yun? It's all in his calculations? However, this acting mayor was approved by a high vote on the committee's side, so does he also have a lot of connections on the committee's side? ”

Han Rui was also puzzled.

If a certain deputy mayor is promoted to mayor, and Gu Yun is promoted to deputy mayor, Han Rui will not be surprised. But this is the mayor of Changhe Base City!

The position of mayor of Changhe Base City and the mayor before the end of the world are completely different concepts. The current mayor is the highest administrator of the entire base and the head of the town hall.

Although there is a committee above the mayor, the committee is only responsible for the general direction, and they don't care about most things. After all, there are more than 20 of them, and their thoughts cannot be completely identical, and they have to vote on everything. Voting will be more cautious and reasonable, but it will also be more time-consuming......

In order to improve efficiency, only in some important matters in the general direction, the committee will take the initiative to intervene, and the committee will not bother with other matters, and will directly hand over to the city hall to solve.

The city hall is led by the mayor, and how it is implemented depends on the mayor's personal ability.

It is even said that if the mayor feels that the policies set by the committee are too outrageous, he can also not implement them!

The premise is that this mayor is not afraid of being voted out of office by the committee.

Anyway, the position of mayor is very important, and a person like Gu Yun, who is not high in status and has no real power, theoretically speaking, it is not his turn to be mayor......

"By the way, do you have any information about the three deputy mayors?"

Wang Tao seemed to think of something and suddenly asked.

"Yes, it'...... here"

Han Rui rummaged through the information watch and found the page of the city hall.

The current pages are all gray and white, the information on it has been updated, and the mayor's avatar has become Gu Yun, but there is an extra parenthesis after his name, and the word "generation" is written in it. There were three avatars of the deputy mayor below him, and when Wang Tao saw these three avatars, he suddenly became a little clear.

"I know why it's Gu Yun......"

"How?"

Han Rui was a little curious.

"These three deputy mayors, I saw them at the scene of the crime today. All three of them are first-order abilities. And Gu Yun ...... It's a third-order ability. ”

Wang Tao had thought of a question before - mayors are so easy to be plotted by, so are other ordinary people and weak people still qualified to hold important positions?

Now the answer is obvious – no.

These three deputy mayors have a certain amount of real power, and they are also very capable, but their own strength is too weak!

If they are replaced by Yao Guodong's position yesterday, they will also die!

Wang Tao didn't know what the purpose of the person who killed Yao Guodong was, was he just trying to kill Yao Guodong, or was it because he wanted to kill the mayor of the Changhe base?

If it is the latter, then the three deputy mayors will not come up and die one when they come to power. After all, people can kill Yao Guodong of the first order, and they can also kill them of the first order!

Even if this murderer just wants to kill Yao Guodong himself, there are two if there is one. When everyone finds out that it doesn't seem too difficult to kill the mayor, will anyone do anything to the new mayor?

Yes, definitely!

After all, there are a lot of people in the base, and the strength is easy to make people lose themselves......

If that happens, then there will be trouble in the future.

To put it mildly, the death of the mayors is a small thing, but it is a big deal to affect the operation of the base!

For example, after Yao Guodong's death this time, the work that was finally on the right track at the city hall was messed up again! It may even be due to unreasonable division of labor, uneven distribution, conflict of work content, waste of resources and other problems, resulting in more people freezing to death in the past few days!

For example, Wang Tao has nothing to do at home now, and if there are survivors outside who are affected by the disaster, he is willing to help the other party. But the problem is that Wang Tao doesn't know who was affected by the disaster, and he doesn't know where the disaster is! Some places are busy smoking, but Wang Tao is very idle here - this is also possible.

Therefore, the death of Yao Guodong, the mayor, has a great negative impact on the base. Especially in this time when there is heavy snowfall, low temperatures, blocked roads, and communication problems......

In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past in the future, it makes sense to let a strong person be the mayor.

Although Gu Yun's combat effectiveness is not strong, he is a real third-order after all, and his defensive power is there. If according to Wang Tao's speculation, the murderer is a first- or second-order person, then he and Gu Yun are looking for death. You may even be counterattacked, because a mental attack is also dangerous to yourself, especially if your mental power is not as good as the other party......

Wang Tao said his analysis, and Han Rui nodded again and again after hearing it.

"yes, I think you have a point. I didn't think about my own strength...... In the last days, strength is king after all! But speaking of which, didn't the three deputy mayors get promoted? With their abilities, they shouldn't all be first-order, right? ”

Han Rui was a little puzzled again.

Wang Tao can probably understand this problem.

"If you want to be promoted, in addition to the crystal nucleus, you have to kill zombie monsters, they obviously haven't gone out to kill zombies......"

Promotion requires a maximum amount of blood, that is, you need to go out and hunt zombies. After all, the three deputy mayors all hold real power, and they have a lot of things in their hands, and they are needed for the development planning of the base, so they may not have much time to go out.

If they are less daring and dare not go out to kill zombies, thinking that they can become first-order abilities and improve their physical fitness, then they will not go out even more.

And Gu Yun is different, he doesn't manage specific things, he goes wherever he is needed, and often runs outside the city. In order to survive outside, he must improve his strength......

"But there's another problem......"

Wang Tao touched his chin and said.

"Is the matter of 'putting someone stronger in oneself on the throne' within the murderer's calculations? If he is, then Gu Yun is indeed very suspicious. If he wasn't there, it would mean that someone had been busy for a long time, but he had made a wedding dress for Gu Yun......"

Thinking of this, Wang Tao suddenly frowned again.

"That's not right! Assuming that the murderer is very smart, and all of this is counted by the murderer, then the ultimate beneficiary may not be Gu Yun! Because many of the important positions in the base are currently held by ordinary people, in case the murderer wants to rise from other places, so he made this one......"

Wang Tao felt that his head was a little big.

"Forget it, I don't want to! No matter how much you think about it, it's all speculation, and if you don't catch the murderer, the truth will never be revealed...... Anyway, your own strength is the most important thing! As long as the strength is strong enough, what is the plot is not plotted, come and kill one by one! ”

Wang Tao shook his head, and then brought his information watch.

"Let me send Gu Yun a congratulations......

It should be no surprise that Gu Yun became the mayor, congratulations in advance.

Not long after Wang Tao's news was sent, Gu Yun called directly.

"Hey, it's still early for the mayor! It's hard to say, it's hard to say! And you probably didn't know that I was the biggest suspect! ”

"I'm really convinced! I didn't know the committee had appointed me as acting mayor! I am a team leader who serves the leader, if I really have the strength to speak on the committee, I would have been the deputy mayor a long time ago, and I can still run errands for the leader? ”

"Oh yes, do you know why I bought the Iron Beetle from you and didn't let you sell it to anyone else? I'm just here to make a political achievement! There is a deputy mayor who is old and will most likely retire, so I just wondered if I would have a chance to be a deputy...... I really didn't dare to think about the position of mayor, after all, Mayor Yao's work ability is obvious to all, and I, including several deputy mayors, are very convinced......"

"If it weren't for the fact that I still had some sense, I would have wanted to quit......"

Wang Tao could hear that Gu Yun was very excited and helpless.

Becoming acting mayor is definitely a good thing. But being the biggest suspect again, it's very uncomfortable.

The identity of the acting mayor and the biggest suspect is a bit painful. Wang Tao can imagine how he will be discussed. If this murderer can't be caught, then he will never be able to get rid of this suspect's hat......

"Then you can investigate well and try to take off your hat as a suspect, I believe you have the ability."

Wang Tao smiled and encouraged.

He also felt that Gu Yun was suspicious, but Wang Tao's thinking had been opened, Gu Yun was not the biggest suspect in his eyes, of course, who was the biggest suspect, Wang Tao had no answer for the time being.

But as soon as Wang Tao said this, he heard Gu Yun say helplessly:

"Originally, I led the team investigating Mayor Yao's death, but since I am now the biggest suspect, I have just been kicked out - I can't and dare not intervene in this matter in the future, otherwise I really can't tell ......"

“……”

Good guy, leave the matter of washing your innocence to someone else, then it hurts.

After the two chatted for a while, Gu Yun ended the call.

He is very busy, he still has to work after complaining, and there are still a lot of messes that he needs to clean up in the future, and he is not sure that he can do better than Yao Guodong, so he is very uncomfortable......

However, as soon as Wang Tao finished the call, someone called again.

"Mr. Wang, do you have time? Mayor Yao's wife wants to see you......"
