"Good evening, everyone, welcome to the most popular TV program in Yilan City, 'Crazy Talk Tonight'. I am your crazy host Cabin. I believe that everyone has heard the exciting speech of our mayor today.

"

From the floating advertising screen on the street, restless music and the host's loud roar came, "Fortunately, today we have invited Mr. Nokovi, the executive director of Copes Mining and the CEO of Copes Ilan Branch.

!!!”

Accompanied by a burst of noisy applause and special effects of petals covering the screen, a tall man in a black silk suit walked out of the camera and stood at the center of the stage.

"Is this the first time Mr. Nokovi has participated in a TV show like ours?"

The host held a crystal microphone that reflected light and looked at the tall man in a suit with a smile.

"This is my first time in Yilan,"

The tall man glanced at the host and said with a smile, "I was a little nervous at first, but seeing so many enthusiastic audiences at the scene, I suddenly became less nervous."

"Hahaha, Mr. Nokovi is a funny and humorous person at first glance,"

The host laughed, then picked up the question card in his hand and said quickly,

"Then let's start today's inquiry directly. Did Mr. Nokovi watch Mayor Lynn's speech this morning? It is said that after the speech this morning, there was an assassination attempt at the White Jasmine Palace.

"Copes Mining, as the largest mining employer in Yilan City, owns 80% of the city's mines or mining rights. It seems to be very consistent with the attributes of the 'big consortium' mentioned in Mr. Mayor's speech?

"Mr. Mayor said that the recent assassinations he suffered were all led by 'big consortiums'. What do you think of this?"

"A very pointed question. I was shocked when I saw the speech today,"

The tall man smiled and said,

"But to be honest, we don't know why the mayor would have such an idea?

“We in Copes Mining have been working conscientiously to operate under the laws of the federal government and the city of Elan, and I am personally proud to abide by the laws.

“We employ hundreds of thousands of employees in Yilan City, providing these employees with a high source of income and rich life security, and hundreds of thousands of families revolve around us.

"We have also established a separate Copesi Ilan Charitable Foundation to improve the living conditions of employees and their families who are living in difficulty."

He raised his voice a little,

"From the beginning to the end, we have always been a staunch supporter of law and order in Yilan City. It is absolutely impossible for us to assassinate the mayor."

"Glib tongue."

With his hands on the steering wheel, Senna glanced at the red light ahead, then at the advertising screen beside him, and muttered.

"But Mr. Mayor seems very sure that it was done by a large consortium."

The host laughed from the side.

"We are not the only big consortium in Yilan City. If Mr. Mayor has conclusive evidence of our illegal crimes, he can use the evidence to arrest us,"

The tall man shrugged, "Of course, we also understand that Mr. Mayor is old. He has run for mayor so many times but failed. This time he finally got into the election. There were ups and downs. He may have been more stimulated. Very

easy···"

He pointed at his head with a smile, "... There will be some problems. It's normal to have some Alzheimer's or mental disorders. We shouldn't laugh at this old and successful mayor. After all, everyone will.

aged,

"Of course, if Mr. Mayor has no money for treatment, our Copes Mining Group is also willing to allocate part of the money from the charitable foundation to treat Mr. Mayor."

"Son of a bitch!!!"

Senna, who was holding the steering wheel as if listening to music, suddenly changed his expression when he heard these words. He looked up at the advertising screen outside and said, "How dare this guy!!!"

He wanted to open his mouth to greet the bastard on the screen, but when he raised his head and looked through the rearview mirror, he saw the old man sitting in the back seat holding a brass cane and seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed. He finally suppressed the rapid rise and fall of his chest.

The light turned green, he stepped on the accelerator and passed the intersection.

The road ahead started to get bumpy, and they had left the northeastern part of Ninwis District near the Wake District and St. Ilan District, and entered the central area of ​​Ninwis District.

The heavy off-road vehicle wheels undulated like running water on the disrepaired road.

He Ao, who was sitting in the back row, opened his eyes and looked at the street beside him.

The flashing neon lights are gradually becoming dim and broken, and old buildings and dilapidated facades are passing behind the windows.

He lowered his head and looked at his bracelet, and documents popped out of it one after another.

That was the general information about the southern area of ​​Ninvis District that Eve had sorted for him and collected on the Internet.

Yilan Morning News Building

The brand new silver elevator drops to the first floor.

A man wearing a neat black silk suit walked out from behind the elevator, and a trendy man wearing a long white modified suit followed behind him with a smile.

The two walked together through the wide hall covered with brown crystal floor tiles, and walked all the way to the geometric glass door with an aesthetic design.

"Mr. Nokovi, thank you for being invited today. Your presence has made our program more brilliant."

The man in a white modified suit stood at the door and said enthusiastically to the tall man.

“Well done,”

The tall man stood at the door and stretched out his hand. Outside the door, a security guard also wearing a suit and sunglasses handed a black cigar between his index and middle fingers.

"I will convince the board of directors to increase investment in you this year,"

He put the cigar to his mouth, and the man in the white suit immediately took out an electronic cigar lighter and lit the cigar for him.

"keep it up."

The tall man exhaled a puff of smoke, reached out and patted the man in the white suit on the shoulder, "This newspaper is running well under your hands, and the board of directors is very satisfied with you."

"Thank you Mr. Nokovi!"

The man in the white suit immediately bowed and said.

At this time, the tall man was already holding a cigar in his mouth, walking down the stairs dotted with flower beds in front of the door, and walked to the black car in front of the stairs.

The security guard opened the car door. Nokovi chewed his cigar, looked up at the city ahead with brilliant neon lights, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

As the hazy smoke blurred the flowing light, Nokovi slowly lowered his head.

Zhi——

But before he could get into the car, with a violent braking sound, a gray car with warning lights on the roof rushed out of the road behind him in an instant, with dark brake marks drifting sideways in front of the black car.

Blocked his way forward.

Immediately afterwards, several more vehicles with warning lights rushed out, completely surrounding the black car.

Several figures wearing city police uniforms rushed out of the vehicle, holding firearms, and surrounded the tall man.

Immediately, the door of the gray car at the front opened, and a man in uniform got out of the car, walked up to the tall man, raised his bracelet, and showed an electronically projected ID.

"I am Tucker, the chief of the Yilan City Police Department. Is this Mr. Nokovi?"

He raised his hand slightly, and the ID on his bracelet turned into a document with an electronic seal, "You are suspected of several cases related to government bribery and murder."

He reached out and picked out the cigar from Nokovi's mouth, which was slightly stunned, and stubbed it out on the edge of the stairway beside it, "Come with us."

Ninwis District

"Mr. Lynn,"

Senna looked at the increasingly dilapidated road ahead, turned around and glanced at He Ao in the back row, "We have arrived in the southern part of Ningweis District, where should we go next?"

He Ao withdrew his eyes from the documents on his bracelet, reached out to close the bracelet screen, and looked up at the surrounding streets, "Let's get off here, let's take a walk nearby."

"OK."

Senna nodded slightly, parked the car in a nearby parking space, and then got out of the car with He Ao.

As soon as I got out of the car, a breeze carrying the smell of rust and a bit of decay came to me.

"This place seems a little different from what I imagined."

Senna raised his head and looked around.

Broken railings made of rusty iron, street shops with yellowed walls, neon signs with several letters on the shops completely extinguished, and vehicles with rusty iron patches passing on the street formed the scene in his field of vision.

all.

"What's the difference?"

He Ao took the brass cane and gently reached out to close the car door.

"That's right, when I was in the central area of ​​Ningweis District, I often saw news about various murder cases there,"

Senna raised his head and looked around again. A store next to the street was playing exciting dance music. "I used to think that this place was very chaotic. It should be full of fighting gangs, messy gunfire, and random people."

A body dumped in a corner, but here..."

He paused and his eyes fell on the dilapidated but crowded streets, "But when I came here today, I saw that although it is indeed a bit dilapidated, it seems to be quite normal..."

"Perhaps the things you guessed do happen often here,"
To be continued...
