Chapter 810: Chapter 808: Visitor
The advantages of a personal resume were evident at times like these.
If the organization investigated their resumes, they would find that Song Lan was merely a non-confrontational head of the publicity department, with no enhancements or involvement in combat-related activities. Describing him as an ordinary person mingling among law enforcers couldn’t be more appropriate.
Roger’s identity as an underground boxing match professional might draw more attention.
It was common for top professional boxers to punch a hole in someone’s chest.
At least, that’s what Song Lan thought.
To prepare for any potential encounters, Roger had also set up a mini punching bag in his room and revisited everything he had learned from watching the matches.
Time progressed to the afternoon, and before nightfall, the local law enforcement department called Song Lan.
Lu Xiang had already communicated with them by phone, and for the continuation of the investigation, Zhuang Chi might need to stay at the department for a few more days. However, as they all worked within the same system, they naturally would not unnecessarily trouble Zhuang Chi and had provided her with a single room for rest.
They seemed to have sensed the unusual atmosphere in Zone Four as well.
The undercurrents of the city stirred, and they had a feeling that Mikaela’s tragic death at home might just be the beginning of everything.
Song Lan hung up the phone, while on the TV in the guest room, a farewell Ceremony by Kolo Film Industry for Mikaela was being broadcasted. Many big shots were at the scene; regardless of their personal relationships with Mikaela off-screen, they all showed a sad expression in front of the cameras.
However, the janitor and Powell didn’t receive such treatment.
If it weren’t for the law enforcers’ department in Zone Four actively seeking information, no one would know that these two had forever left this world.
Even most people in the hotel still did not know Powell was dead, thinking this insignificant director had just gone out to mess around as usual.
Mikaela’s death plunged the entire city into sorrow, especially the loyal Audience of "Doubtful Case Pursuit."
Tonight, Zone Four was exceptionally quiet.
A hidden gaze lingered in the shadows, peering into the hotel’s activity.
The janitor was dead.
According to Powell, he had inquired about the identities of the three Song Lanes before he died, and it seemed he was killed before he could pass on any information. This clearly wasn’t something three ordinary tourists could manage.
They used all possible resources to investigate the three’s background.
Members of the publicity department from Zone Seventeen, the purpose of their trip was because one of them had been selected by "Master of Rescuers" to be a contestant on the next season of the show. At least, on the surface, their visit to Zone Four wasn’t to investigate a case.
They had just happened to stumble upon the crime scene.
However, the probability of such a "coincidence" was alarmingly high.
Mikaela’s death, the death of the actress Grella who was supposed to have fallen from a building, and the janitor’s demise—all events of the past few days seemed to be connected to these three individuals.
But no one dared to make a move without fully understanding the trio’s details.
"Did you hear that Roger is a professional underground boxing fighter?"
In a dimly lit room, someone broke the silence.
Quickly, someone answered his question, "He only fought two matches, with a record of 0-2. The fights were mostly one-sided, with him being K.O.’d by a punch from the opponents. He’s merely a boxing enthusiast who has competed himself. There’s no way he could manage killing and disposing of a body with that kind of skill."
The room fell into a brief silence.
The reason someone asked this was because they observed Roger in the room, sweating profusely.
This "professional boxer" was convincingly hitting a punching bag, looking every bit the professional, and his features also screamed tough character.
But who could have imagined that this fearsome professional boxer had a record of 0-2 in the ring?
"What about the guy lying on the bed watching TV?"
"Him?" The speaker paused, "I heard he’s the lover of the head of the Law Enforcers department in District 17, and got transferred to the publicity department as chief through this connection. He was just a very inconspicuous regular staff member in the logistics department before, and the head of District 17 intentionally avoided having him deal with local gang members to protect him."
A thorough civilian official.
This was the information provided in the intelligence they had gathered.
Adding Zhuang Chi, who had slight knowledge of hacking, it was hard for them to imagine how these three individuals could silently kill their companion and dispose of the body.
"Could there have been a mistake, maybe it was the rescuers who had been watching him all along? Sean Grant seems to be secretly investigating this matter."
The rumble of the hover car interrupted their conversation and also broke the silence of the night.
The distinctive paint job on the car indicated the identity of the arrivals, stationed atop the hotel roof. People loitering outside the hotel noticed this and quickly took out their phones, hoping to capture what might be their closest encounter with a big star.
Sean Grant had returned to this budget hotel again.
For a nationally renowned rescuer like him, this was almost inconceivable.
It seems the rumors were true.
Grella indeed was rumored to be Sean Grant’s girlfriend; otherwise, a man of his caliber would never normally come to such a place.
Sean Grant ignored the people’s chatter.
Not long ago, he had attended Mikaela’s farewell ceremony but left midway.
During the funeral, he encountered Guan Lili who informed him about the incident in the hotel, the death of Powell, and mentioned that Song Lan, who was currently staying in the hotel, might be able to help him.
However, he needed to be mentally prepared, as convincing Song Lan to help wasn’t going to be easy.
After leaving the scene, he headed straight for the budget hotel, the first step of his plan was to take Song Lan and his department’s members to his own villa, his agent had already called the local Law Enforcers’ department, trying to get Zhuang Chi out from inside, he hoped his sincerity would satisfy the other party.
Before seeking out Song Lan, Sean Grant first went to Roger’s room.
The hallway was already packed with people, standing far apart in a group, many of whom had taken out their phones.
Sean Grant was already used to this.
He took a deep breath and knocked on Roger’s door, having prepared a complete set of arguments on the way here as the recent events at the hotel gave him a good reason to invite them to his villa, which certainly seemed much safer than the budget hotel.
When the door was knocked for the third time, Roger opened it.
"Hello Mr. Roger, I’m Sean—"
His words were interrupted.
A fist gradually filled Sean Grant’s vision.
And the flashing cameras captured the moment that would forever be remembered by countless people.
