Chapter 259: Fire
That night, Li Mochen's consciousness had just woken up from his body, and he saw a large amount of red and blue light flashing outside the glass window.
At this time, it seemed that the police cars of the entire Atlanta city were concentrating on the side of Gerald's factory, and the light of the police lights shone a small cloud on that side, all of which were red and blue.
However, at this time, Li Mochen's mind was already drowsy and exhausted.
In order to seal Hazel's power, he not only put all the merit qi on the 'Shenxiao Lingyun Purple Gold Pagoda' into it, but also accompanied one of his own outer pills. In addition, it was the loss of soul power that made his spirit extremely weak.
So Li Mochen didn't care about the situation over there at all, and he didn't care about it. He waited until Danieon Strixy and Alyssa had sent Hazel back to his apartment, and then lay down in his bedroom and fell asleep. It wasn't until the next day that Li Mochen woke up, but at this time, he still felt a faint tingling pain in both of his temples.
And by the time Li Mochen walked out of the bedroom, his living room was already very lively.
William Jacques, Angela, Danyne Strace, Alyssa, and Carl Holden sat on the couch, watching TV intently. It was a news program on Georgia public television that reported exactly what was going on yesterday's game.
Yesterday's incident about Kadio Rhodes' use of illegal items has been fermenting. According to sources, the high school martial arts star from a prestigious school has been confirmed to have buried seven 'Cretan Bloodstones' in his body, based on which he condensed the residual consciousness of the demigod Minotaur and disguised his fighting spirit. β
"The NHSAA tournament committee has stepped in, and if Kadio's conviction is confirmed, he and his coach will not only be permanently banned, but his school, Kadiren High School, will also face a fine of more than 300,000 gold dong. β
"Still, there are many who believe that the tournament was the result of a bookmaker's rig. More than 2,000 people gathered in front of the parliament building yesterday evening to protest. By 9 o'clock today, the number of protesters had reached 20,000. β
"Mr. Falks, the chairman of the Gambling Supervision Commission, has stated in a previous interview that the Gambling Supervision Commission will order the FBI to set up a task force to investigate. However, he also said that the NHSAA Tournament Committee's investigation was transparent, fair and compliant, and he did not think the investigation would be any differentβ"
"Guys in front of the TV, let's turn to the Gerald Precision Factory in East Atlanta. In the early hours of yesterday morning, a large fire broke out here, which burned the entire factory to the ground. According to the results released by the police, this was caused by a fuel leak, which caused the fire to spread through various areas of the plant in less than three minutes. At present, the police have found 37 bodies inside the factory, and another 14 people are missing. β
At the same time, a fire broke out at the Agni Club, which was more than a hundred meters away from Gerald's precision factory. Some experts say it was likely caused by a fire at Gerald's precision factory, where some incendiary materials were carried by the winds that night and fell on the roof of the Fire Club. Luckily, the club was closed that night. β
Li Mochen wanted to continue watching, but William picked up the remote control impatiently and switched to another TV station: "The NHSAA Tournament Committee has investigated this group of red-eyed guys, and it was Cardio Rhodes who used illegal items and spells. That guy did his part, or did he lose to Amo, isn't the truth obvious? They just won't accept the reality. β
Next up is Metro Atlanta, which is on a talk show about yesterday's game.
"So, Mr. Kavanagh, do you think that under some special circumstances, you can still defeat Kadio Rhodes with a single sword? β
"Yes, the host, after all, this Wildenstein classmate has already shown his personal fighting ability. The first two rounds were impressive, and he made perfect use of his dexterity and speed. I guess Kadio Rhodes must have been in less than perfect form at the time, allowing Wildenstein to seize the opportunity to win. β
"I agree with Mr. Kavanagh that it is possible. According to the information revealed by the NHSAA Tournament Committee, the time for Kadio Rhodes to prepare for this forbidden secret technique was 4~5 days ago, which was very hasty. β
"If so, then this lucky Andre really deserves the word 'lucky'. However, I insist that the NHSAA tournament committee should release Andre Lee Wildenstein's test report, which can respond to the public's doubts. β
Li Mochen glanced at it twice, and then lost interest, he walked to the two police officers who were sitting in the restaurant. They are all old acquaintances, Colin Damon, the head of the East Police Department's Major Crime Unit, and Edmund Bedman, the head of the FBI's Atlanta City Security Unit.
These two are here for yesterday's case at Gerald's Precision Factory, so lawyer Mike Ross is also there.
But this time, neither of them had the intention of getting to the bottom of it. After Li Mochen ushered them to the reception room, the two of them just asked a few questions, and then left.
They also did not have a position to force questions, and on the surface, the Gerald Precision Factory incident had nothing to do with Li Mochen.
Due to the previous 'war' that caused hundreds of casualties, as well as the heat of the Atlanta NHSAA quarterfinals, Li Mochen has been under the supervision of the police department and the FBI since he left the unicorn apartment yesterday to participate in the competition.
In the wake of yesterday's long-range sniper assassination, both sides have increased their police presence. And after Li Mochen returned to the apartment, until half past nine this morning, they did not find that the unicorn had left the apartment.
- As for phone surveillance, they don't have that permission for the time being.
The point is that the Gerald Precision Factory has been designated as a fire from above, which makes the Atlanta police and FBI lose the reason to investigate deeply.
And after the two left, Li Mochen asked Mike Rose: "How is Sampson's situation?"
He knew that after the battle at Gerald's Precision Factory was over, Sampson Brut was ready to lead his subordinates to the police station to surrender.
In the past two weeks, the police have not been able to catch any conclusive evidence that can incriminate Sampson and others, but there are still a lot of eyewitnesses, plus some unstructured evidence chains, the Atlanta East Side Police Department and the FBI have issued a subpoena to Sampson and others. At the same time, a whopping 12 wanted warrants were issued to the public.
Previously, Sampson and others had been delaying not contacting the police in order to maintain their combat effectiveness. But now that the war is over, it's time to deal with the aftermath.
"Fortunately, Mr. Sampson Brut and Major Adams left unharmed after answering questions from the police. Only nine of your subordinates were confirmed to be suspected of involvement in the shooting after police interrogation, but all of them have been released on bail with a total of 2.4 million gold dong. β
Mike Ross smiled and said, "You have to thank my colleagues, our entire law firm was busy until seven o'clock in the morning last night for your business, and many of us stayed up all night for this." β
