Chapter 373: The Mayor of Justice(1/2)
In fact, Nell had a vague image of the mayor in his memory, but the appearance was not clear. He Ao initially thought that the video was something that happened recently, and the mayor was a middle-aged man, so he didn't think about it in that direction.
Moreover, the current mayor and the supervisor in the video have completely different behavioral styles, one is gentle and the other is fierce.
At first glance, they seem to be two people.
But He Ao had already used super memory to quickly memorize all the details in that video.
Therefore, he recognized the mayor at first glance as the director of the mining consortium who ordered the massacre of miners.
The mayor was a senior manager of the mining consortium at least ten years ago, which can be compared with the fact that he is now a powerful figure in the mining consortium.
He Ao glanced at the old foreman.
Locke is the son of an old foreman.
Judging from the video, the mayor was somewhat dissatisfied with Locke when he was the supervisor.
Judging from the methods shown by the mayor, it is very likely that he forced Locke to death.
I just don’t know if the old foreman knows about this.
At this time, He Ao also understood the significance of Vincent's collection of this video.
This video is evidence of the mayor's violence. When the mayor took action against Vincent, Vincent was also collecting evidence against the mayor.
Although both of them work for the mining consortium and are powerful figures, they each have their own hidden agendas.
Although this video cannot have a decisive impact on the mayor, it can severely damage the mayor's prestige when necessary.
Judging from the current situation, the mayor still has to maintain his "just" image, otherwise he would not have delivered such a speech through live video broadcast.
But what’s interesting is that although there was applause during his live video, there was no audience.
In contrast, although Christos often suffered assassinations, he always stood in the center of the crowd and stood with the crowd that supported him.
Being able to be elected as mayor will have a certain level of support among the people no matter what.
The mayor of Rock City obviously does not believe his supporters.
Extending from this point, the reason why Vincent was able to use the power of the entire consortium to block the video was also found.
Because this video also touches the interests of the mayor.
Vincent himself did not have enough ability to communicate with the communications consortium to block the videos and files stolen by the fifth sister. His first thought must be to capture the fifth sister and torture him to find out the whereabouts of the videos.
Judging from He Ao's current understanding of the situation, Vincent did this in the early stage. The fifth sister, eldest brother, and second sister all accepted his torture, but the fifth sister made a wrong guide to Vincent and pointed the target at him.
A group of 'outlaws'.
The desperadoes in Vincent's words are most likely the Miners' Mutual Aid Association.
My hero, my enemy, from Vincent's perspective, the Miners' Mutual Aid Association is really just a group of desperadoes.
Vincent's attention was drawn to the Miners' Mutual Aid Association, and the fifth sister bought the most critical period of time for Nell.
Nel himself didn't know that the fifth sister was buying time for him with her life, but he still followed Jon's advice and found the FBI.
In the fifth sister's mind, she might have guided her younger brother to go to the FBI at the beginning. After all, the FBI was the one best suited to solve this matter.
But neither brother nor sister expected that the FBI in Rock City had also been infiltrated by the mining consortium.
Looking back from now, the force that infiltrated the FBI should be the mayor's force, not Vincent's force.
With Nel handing over a copy of the storage chip to the FBI as a turning point, the attitude of the mining consortium toward Nel (Ho O) changed from arresting and interrogating him to hunting him down.
The FBI should have sent the video to the mayor. The mayor and Vincent used the power of the entire mining consortium to block the spread of the video from the transmission channels. Only then did they have the confidence to pursue He Ao regardless of the memory chip in his hand.
profound.
Perhaps this incident also gave the mayor an excuse to persuade internal forces to eliminate Vincent.
But Vincent shouldn't be so careless and not wary at all.
Well, the two of them blocked the channel for video dissemination together, which may have given Vincent the illusion that the two were temporary allies in this matter. No matter what conflicts there were, they should wait until the matter was over.
After all, if Vincent breaks the law at this time and spreads the video, the mayor will face a huge scandal and his authority will plummet.
But the most dangerous time is often when a person holds a sharp knife and can pose a huge threat.
The mayor did not tolerate this threat, so he devised a plan to use the Miners' Mutual Aid Association's attack to kill people with borrowed knives to get rid of Vincent's main force, and then let the ambushing city defense troops eliminate the Miners' Mutual Aid Association, killing two birds with one stone.
At that time, nine Seraph-type mechas came, and excluding Heao, the Miners Mutual Aid Association only had one C-level Hell Apostle from Fourth Brother.
Even if the fourth brother is a genius pilot, he is not worth the siege of nine Seraph mechas.
What’s more, there’s also a C-level ‘Predator’ Ruo Lanke mixed in.
Although this guy is not good enough to take a single move from He Ao, he is still unquestionably C-level.
Even if Vincent hides his C-level strength, he will definitely die under such a siege.
Therefore, in the 'attack' last night, even without Heao, Vincent would have died.
The Miners' Mutual Aid Association 'killed' Vincent, and the city defense army 'annihilated' the Miners' Mutual Aid Association. This is the outcome that has been decided.
The mayor may have already prepared a "memorial" manuscript for Vincent. This speech was arranged too quickly and too timely, not even ten hours had passed since last night's battle.
Perhaps it was also part of his plan to use last night's attack on the Miners' Mutual Aid Association and the 'death of Vincent' to hype up the threat of the Miners' Mutual Aid Association and then obtain a legitimate reason to cleanse the miners.
Kill three birds with one stone.
Step by step, each link is linked to the other.
But he didn't expect that not only Vincent would die last night, but the nine Seraphs and the C-level Ruolanke of the city defense army would also be destroyed last night.
The appearance of He Ao disrupted his plan and allowed the Miners' Mutual Aid Association team to survive.
But even so, his third step of the plan was still advancing as usual. He even keenly grasped the point of Ruo Lanke's death and tried to mobilize the city defense troops more radically.
Through these things, He Ao began to try to infer the mayor's character.
Rigorous, indifferent, bloodthirsty, with a strong desire for control, good at planning, will not be disrupted by sudden setbacks, and will even turn disadvantages into advantages.
The most important thing is that the arrangements he made were all "above and above board" and seemed to be really for the sake of righteousness.
Even if Vincent is eliminated, he will still have to borrow the help of the Miners' Mutual Aid Association and let the Miners' Mutual Aid Association take the blame.
He Ao recalled Nel's memory. Although Nel didn't care much about politics, he said that the mayoral election in Rock City was the biggest event in the city after all.
Nel also has a vague impression of the current mayor of Rock City. This mayor's 'reputation' in Rock City is very good. Most of his supporters believe that he is a 'just' person and elected him to office.
.
Of course, the creation of this "righteous character" is also related to the large-scale advertising placed by the mining consortium.
During the election, even the fourth brother, who was completely apolitical, would casually mention this 'just mayoral candidate' to Nel when buying a tutorial for him.
It's not that he suddenly cared about the mayoral election, but when he was swiping the short video of Hisi's blond hair and big waves with his bracelet, the candidate's advertisement often popped up. The more he swiped it, the more he naturally remembered it.
.
Although the mayor is elected by the people, the consortium decides which candidate appears in front of the voters.
However, since the more the mayor establishes such an upright persona, once the video of him leading the massacre of miners is exposed, the greater the impact will be on him.
In fact, this kind of "righteous persona" in elections is not easy to establish, and it is easy to be used to destroy the golden body.
What's more, the current mayor has a personality that has nothing to do with justice. He Ao feels that this guy may do everything except justice.
From this move, He Ao saw the self-confidence in the mayor, the self-confidence and arrogance to control everything and fool everyone.
He Ao's thoughts returned to the core issue again. Is this mayor the culprit responsible for what the system calls the "frequent death cases in Rock City"?
The surrounding environment fell into a brief silence, He Ao was thinking, and the old foreman was also thinking.
Ivo...
Ivo saw that everyone around him was thinking, so he began to pretend to be thinking.
"Everyone,"
A somewhat gentle female voice came.
He Ao looked up and saw only a young woman with wavy brown hair hanging down to her shoulders, a gentle smile, and wearing a simple black and white maid uniform and black stockings with suspenders.
Black stockings have always made her look thin, but the maid's legs were covered with a different kind of plumpness.
And the simple maid uniform couldn't hide her curvy figure.
He Ao glanced at his fourth brother and saw that Ivo was trying hard to move his eyes elsewhere, but he always quickly returned to the maid.
Especially on those slender and plump thighs wrapped in black stockings.
Fourth brother has never been able to resist black stockings.
"Ms. Iliaan, please come over."
The maid didn't seem to notice Ivo's gaze and spoke slowly and gently.
"Did she specify who they were?"
He Ao asked softly.
‘Everyone’ is a very broad term.
