Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Strict Investigation Within_1

"Everything you are experiencing now is the future I want you to see."

In response to Song Lan, there was neither applause nor cheers from the three of them.

Zhuang Chi looked up, her pupils somewhat dilated.

Her legs were trembling instinctively. At this moment, she truly understood the feelings of the Mayor of Lyon City. For a moment, she also felt that her life was coming to an end.

"Di...Director... I’m one of us, don’t kill me!"

Tears whirled in her eyes, and her voice trembled as she spoke.

"Clatter."

The sound of an object falling to the ground came from the doorway.

At this moment, Lu Xiang, who had somehow reached the door, was the source of the noise, as a data disk in her hand fell to the ground. She stared at Song Lan in shock, displaying an expression Song Lan had never seen from her before.

"What kind of person do you think I am?"

Song Lan calmly removed his mask and pushed aside the cumbersome clothes. He had already noticed Lu Xiang’s arrival and had made the necessary preparations. "This, it’s the power of acting."

"Acting?"

There was a slight pause among the group.

"So far, I’ve watched hundreds of movies and never missed any popular ones every month... I never told you this, but my childhood dream was to become an actor."

Song Lan attributed a non-existent dream to himself. How could becoming an actor, a profession that requires being in the spotlight, have been his dream?

This, however, perfectly explains his current state.

With crushed dreams, he became a Law Enforcer by chance. Living through each day in a daze after losing his dreams, only the movies could still captivate him, needing to watch a few every day to calm himself down.

With this backstory, he could even make up a turbulent life for himself.

Song Lan carefully observed Lu Xiang’s expression as he was speaking, for among these three people, Lu Xiang was the hardest to fool.

He saw changes in Lu Xiang’s expression, going from initial shock to thoughtful, and eventually settling on a look mixed with sympathy.

"I heard you were preparing for an interview. You might find this data useful."

Lu Xiang coughed lightly and bent down to pick up the data disk that had fallen to the ground. For a moment, she thought the "Good Samaritan" had appeared.

Enclosed in it was her personal analysis of the "Good Samaritan," vastly more detailed than any circulating within the Law Enforcers department.

Having said her piece, she casually turned and left as always, only leaving behind her receding figure for the psychological counseling department staff to gawk at.

"Honestly..."

As Roger looked at Lu Xiang’s receding figure, he said, "Director, she’s also that type of person who commands a lot of influence."

Although Lu Xiang’s influence is not usually shown through passionate speeches, she often silently inspired everyone through her actions. Her arrival was a turning point for the entire Law Enforcers department.

...

Back in her office, Lu Xiang immediately opened all her files on the "Good Samaritan."

The first time the "Good Samaritan" appeared on the Law Enforcers’ radar was during the Chai Ke case. Everyone inside the house, besides the three hostages who had bags over their heads, ended up dead.

Perhaps, this was a detail she had been overlooking all this while.

Because it was only in this case that the "Good Samaritan" had killed everyone at the scene, unlike the other times when he left survivors.

Her initial interpretation was that the "Good Samaritan" would only target those who might know about his abilities, but the deaths of Chai Ke’s subordinates and Angel Foster in the first scene didn’t match this theory. This point was further proven during the Lainal case. As long as the "Good Samaritan" wished, he could incapacitate everyone in a room before they could even react.

But why did he single out and kill Chai Ke’s subordinates?

Could it be that everyone in that room could possibly discern his abilities?

This clearly was not right.

Just a moment ago, it suddenly occurred to her that there was another possibility.

She had always been thinking from the perspective that the "Good Samaritan" took the initiative to act.

However, there was another possibility in reality: in the Chai Ke case, the "Good Samaritan" was involuntarily dragged into the incident. Unprepared, his true identity was exposed to someone.

Chai Ke’s subordinates died because they had seen what the "Good Samaritan" looked like.

And the "Good Samaritan" acted just when Chai Ke was about to kill all the hostages. This meant that he did not plan to kill everyone from the beginning.

If the negotiation or rescue was successful, he could leave the scene as an "unfortunate civilian."

However, Chai Ke planned to kill all the hostages. This made him realize that he could not be rescued as an ordinary civilian. As a last resort, he disposed of everyone in the room who had seen him.

Considering this, the "Good Samaritan" in daily life might be a very mild person, quite contrary to his decisiveness when he takes action.

An all too familiar face came to her mind then.

From her later analysis, it was not difficult to deduce that the "Good Samaritan" was a person who had absolute confidence in his abilities. This was why he dared to boldly approach Dominas while pretending to be Dorago Safron, navigating between the newly appointed High Prosecutor and the Foster Family.

This high-risk action allowed him to get first-hand information on the movements of the Dominas and the Foster Family. He could even change their thoughts to a certain extent.

In other words, the "Good Samaritan" was a repeat offender.

In a strange coincidence, he also seemed to understand the actions of the Law Enforcers very well. Each time, he managed to pass the information to them promptly, as if he was one of them.

So, if the "Good Samaritan" repeated his actions and successfully infiltrated the Law Enforcers, what kind of cover would he choose to approach her?

Lu Xiang tried to put herself in the shoes of Dominas. Before the city-wide meeting, the person he trusted the most was undoubtedly Dorago Safron.

At this moment, the person she trusted the most was...

Well,

Aiming to become an actor from a young age, huh?

She recalled Song Lan’s explanation to Roger and the others. It was too deliberate, as if he was purposely telling her.

At this moment, Lu Xiang thought of a simple way to verify her suspicion.

The sentence mentioned by the Mayor of Lyon City was not the only "line" left by the "Good Samaritan". Late that night, before others arrived, she had met him face to face. Although his tone and demeanor were different, he clearly knew her very well.

Thinking of this, she quickly drafted a message and sent it.

"I’m leaving work early today. Let’s go home together, you can ride in my car."

The external enemy had temporarily retreated. It was time to thoroughly investigate the inside of the Law Enforcers.
