Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The Final Puzzle_1
Meanwhile, in the Inspection Department’s exclusive break room, Dominas silently watched his phone’s screen.
The virus was successfully uploaded.
This was the message that came from the hackers after "Mouse" and his crew were captured.
From the beginning, he understood the character of "Mouse".
One of the earliest Gold Seekers to come to District 17, he accrued wealth through pleasure venues, gradually forming a criminal group that couldn’t be overlooked by gathering a wave of underlings.
Contrary to criminals like Chai Ke, "Mouse" had hardly ever left District 17. Essentially, he was more of a businessman, with his nickname "Mouse" being the best interpretation of his character - timid, lustful, treacherous and cunning. Only after Chai Ke’s death did he start to lose sight of himself due to the voices from his subordinates, fantasizing about taking Chai Ke’s place.
However, the threat of death was enough to return him to his true self.
Dominas firmly believed that "Mouse" would eventually choose to surrender, instead of stubbornly clashing with the security personnel at the venue until the end.
By that time, he would definitely find a way to get out of this situation.
"Mouse" would likely be too scared to offend the Foster Family and might give up Dorago Safron. Therefore, his job was to have the security personnel to actually see Dorago sneaking into the venue.
Given Lu Xiang’s character, after the meeting, she would definitely personally lead a team to search for Dorago. The clues would lead her step by step into the trap he had designed.
A model built on the "Bullet Trajectory".
The real target is not Lu Xiang, but that "Concerned Citizen" who once made him stay awake at night.
Dominas was certain that the "Concerned Citizen" wouldn’t miss the citywide meeting, and he is somewhere in this venue at the moment. The way to lure him into the open was putting Lu Xiang in danger.
Dorago had suggested two ways to solve the problem.
The first was to calculate the "Concerned Citizen’s" trajectory during time acceleration and intercept him along the way. However, since they could not determine the length of the time jump and the rate of time acceleration, it was almost impossible to apply this theory in reality.
Therefore, the only remaining possibility to kill him was the last one.
Calculate the landing point and lay an ambush there.
But what they need is not a bullet, but a trap that he won’t be able to escape even if he realizes it in the end.
Dominas thought of a room filled with explosives.
Once detonated, the entire area would be immediately engulfed in a sea of fire.
The virus uploaded to the network could paralyze the venue’s security network in a short time, leaving the security personnel blind. Afterward, cutting off the power would plunge them into complete darkness, and it would be too late for them to realize the presence of the explosives.
Although the Foster Family wouldn’t want to see such a big mess on the citywide meeting, it was indeed the best opportunity for him to get rid of the "Concerned Citizen".
And the person who can ensure this plan goes without a hitch is Dorago Safron.
However, for some reason, a sense of unease was quietly spreading in Dominas’s heart.
"It’s going too smoothly."
The attendant in the room seemed to see through his thoughts and suddenly reminded him.
Yes, it’s indeed going too smoothly.
As soon as he got in touch with Dorago Safron, his situation seemed to suddenly improve. Everything was going in the direction he hoped for, and the "Concerned Citizen" didn’t take any substantial action against the "Mouse" who was attacking the venue as if he knew from the beginning that "Mouse" would fail.
Upon closer reflection, all of this smooth progress was brought about by Dorago Safron, to the point that he still places all his final hopes on him.
He wanted the stolen Mescaline IV, and Dorago got the drug powder back from the heavily guarded Law Enforcers headquarters.
He wants to deal with the "Concerned Citizen", Dorago brought him the answer.
He wants "Mouse" to be the bait, Dorago gave him professional advice during their meeting.
It seemed as if no matter what he wanted to achieve, as long as he sent a message to Dorago, all he had to do was stay in his office, waiting for good news.
So, this time, can Dorago take care of Lu Xiang and even the "Concerned Citizen"?
"There’s only one way to verify the answer to this question."
The attendant spoke up again.
...
At 17:53 in the afternoon, the first day meeting was over.
Song Lan pulled some strings and got a room key from the hotel’s front desk. This saved him from having to squeeze into the narrow dormitory with many other colleagues for the night.
It was not that he looked down on his colleagues, but that it would be inconvenient to stay in a large dormitory if any emergency occurred at night.
Not long ago, he had finally figured out Dominas’s purpose.
Everything that was happening now was likely caused by the "Bullet Trajectory" model. The other party simply believed in the possibilities brought by this model and faithfully arranged a trap that could kill the "Concerned Citizen" according to it. In other words, even though Dominas’s target was Lu Xiang, he was convinced that the "Concerned Citizen" would surely reveal himself the moment Lu Xiang was in danger.
With this crisis, they could predict the "Concerned Citizen’s" landing point after time acceleration.
So, what has the High Prosecutor prepared after that?
Rotary machine gun?
Or a bomb that would level the entire area?
This was also Song Lan’s first reaction after understanding the model proposed by the captain. If they were dealing with the ability user they claimed could accelerate time, this indeed was one of the very few methods.
For Song Lan, tonight might also be the conclusion of this series of lengthy farces that had been happening recently.
Just as he had previously evaluated his distant relative. It was impossible for such a person to give up his sinful ways and become a Buddha on the spot. As long as he sees a tiny opportunity, he would rush headlong into it, just like a moth drawn to a flame.
It seemed that another mystery that had been troubling him was also close to being solved.
The water that killed Lainal Boyev and Mescaline IV that the mayor was forced to take.
Both of these eventually pointed to High Prosecutor Dominas, causing the investigators to consider him as an Interference Ability User at first glance.
Even for the Law Enforcers, as long as they found out who the city mayor’s secretary had been in contact with recently, they could identify Dominas as the main suspect.
So, the question is, why would Dominas, a high-ranking High Prosecutor and an Interference Ability User, so easily expose himself to the Law Enforcers?
Just then, the cell phone belonging to Mr. Killer rang again.
The sender was High Prosecutor Dominas.
The content of the message was also filled in his usual riddler style:
"11:00 PM, the first underground floor of the venue. Target: Lu Xiang"
