latent syndrome.

Chapter 71. Dialectics

Tavern in the Santa Maria district.

Customers' attention was all diverted to the football program being played on the LCD TV. From time to time, there were scolding and applause, as well as the crisp sound of wine bottles shaking and colliding, which was extremely lively.

On the other hand, at Ke Lin's table, everyone's faces were so gloomy that they could drip water, which was out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere.

"In the future, you will form a team of four, and Heller and Colin will also be officially promoted to elite detectives of Section 06. The team number is [-]. I will directly issue tasks and connect with me directly. Do you have any questions?"

Gray didn't say anything about Colin's return. He had long concluded that he would come back, and after communicating with Heller, he said this sentence.

Everyone except Heller said it was fine.

"Can you change to another team? I can't deal with these people."

Heller squeezed out a stiff smile with great reluctance. The treatment given by the Countermeasure Bureau is indeed very generous, but if you want to stay with these three psychopaths all day, please forgive yourself.

"This request is temporarily dismissed. Now I want to say that your upcoming mission is somewhat urgent."

"I have received a secret report that SCT will operate the city's mayoral election next, and the premise is that they will kill the mayor."

Gray spoke the extremely explosive news in a flat tone. It is hard to imagine that her psychological quality is too high, or that she has experienced too much of this kind of thing.

"So we're going to protect the mayor?"

Eugene has never received such a large task before, does this mean that the funds for the operation are also quite abundant.

"That could be said, but not quite."

"The mayor is currently participating in some activities in other places and will not return until half a month later."

"Considering SCT's style of work, they will definitely attack people around the mayor, and the situation may be even worse."

"You don't even have to kill him to rig the mayoral campaign, just kidnap his cronies and get him to do something that's detrimental to the overall situation."

"Next you're going to bring back his daughter who's in college."

Gray took out a stack of materials and a photo of the mayor's daughter from the suitcase, and distributed them to the four.

"Oh! It's on time."

Heller flicked the photo with her fingers and sighed sincerely.

"Are you lesbian?"

Colin was shocked.

"What does this have to do with you?"

Heller was terrified by his stare, no one could remain calm under such a frenzied gaze with a scarred face, it was so fucking scary.

"It's just... wonderful, Heller."

Colin's expression seemed to be smiling, but it was more like a twitch of facial muscles.

Heller crossed her arms and felt goosebumps when Colin called her name. Colin seemed to have a strange quirk.

Lister found the crux of the problem.

"Why did you bring it back? Could it be that she got into some trouble or lost contact?"

Liszt had to think this way, logically speaking, after receiving this secret report, he should have notified the mayor's daughter to come back directly, or the helicopter would have directly flown over to respond, it is impossible for his group to handle this matter.

"The mayor's only daughter... quite rebellious."

"I went to the forest with a bunch of dandies for vacation on vacation. I lost contact with him three days ago, and some of the dispatched police officers also disappeared one after another. There is no news."

Gray's face was also very serious.

"The people from SCT have already caught her?"

Eugene was thinking the worst.

"It's impossible to be so fast, because of other reasons. In short, you set off tomorrow morning, search for her where she last appeared and bring her back. People from SCT will definitely start to take action one after another."

Because the secret report came in the morning, and according to the undercover agent, this plan has not yet officially started to be implemented, it is only in the premeditated stage.

"Why not just let the mayor step down and replace him with an infected person who has the ability to protect himself? In this case, the SCT has no way to start, and there is no election."

Colin took a deep breath of the cigarette, and said to Gray coldly.

However, Gray didn't answer, just kept silent. What Colin said was indeed the best solution.

"It's really subtle, isn't it?"

Ke Lin shook the cigarette ash into the paper cup, sparing no effort to ridicule.

Eugene coughed, and signaled to Colin not to make the atmosphere so embarrassing. The source of funds for the Countermeasures Bureau may have invested a lot from the mayor of Los Angeles.

Since the power of the Liberty Alliance comes from the voters, there is no distinction between the mayor and the governor. As far as the mayor of Los Angeles, a global film and television industry base, is concerned, even ten governors will not change.

The power possessed by the mayor of Los Angeles, as well as his position in the alliance meeting, are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Liszt frowned. In a sense, SCT is really a terrifying existence. Even if it hasn't made a move, just information and the power of words can cause cracks in some fragile connections.

"As an elite agent of Section [-], I will meet with agents of other sections and some important people in the future. Use the money from the operation fund to buy decent clothes."

Gray didn't answer Colin's words. She saw that whether it was Heller, Colin, or Eugene, they all dressed like hooligans.

"The task information has been told to you, and it will be executed immediately at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Gray packed the file bag and got up to leave.

"That photo!"

Colin grabbed Gray's wrist with some force, and red scratches appeared on the skin he touched.

Realizing his gaffe, Colin quickly let go.

"I want to know everything about that picture."

Colin said calmly.

"Unfortunately, the agent of Section [-] who found that photo has died. Only the photo has survived, and everything else cannot be verified, but I guarantee that the Countermeasures Bureau will assist you in the investigation, and I only know this."

"Wish you guys good luck."

After Gray finished speaking, he drank the bourbon in one gulp, left the tavern, and melted into the night.

Liszt is thinking about the mayor's daughter. This is really weird. There are also strange rumors on the Internet recently. Not only in North America, but in the whole world, there are confusing and mysterious disappearances.

"Then let's gather here tomorrow morning, and then we will set off together."

Liszt said.

"Why, are you in charge now?"

Heller sneered.

"Strictly speaking, I am indeed the temporary captain."

Liszt was not angry.

"Haha, temporary captain? Did you hear that?"

Heller turned around to look at the expressions of the other two, but found that they had long since disappeared.

……

……

……

In a high-end clothing store, it was getting late at night and the business hours were about to end.

Suddenly, two unexpected guests came.

Colin realized that it was indeed a wise decision to leave the city and go to some forest areas and buy some thicker clothes.

Coincidentally, the clothing store I stepped into this time belonged to the same brand as the sportswear I bought at the Beverly Hills banquet last time.

But his mind remained the same, and he didn't want to pay some IQ tax.

"Call your store manager out."

Ke Lin said coldly, facing such a fierce star with a scarred face, the two shopping guides didn't dare to provoke him at all, so they honestly called the store manager.

Eugene was speechless, not knowing what trick Colin was going to play.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

The store manager, who is around 40 years old, is worried, afraid of encountering some hijacking incidents.

"I'm an inspector from the fire department. I found that your store is not equipped with fire extinguishing facilities. Fire extinguishers should be placed on both sides of the door. I order you to suspend business for rectification."

Colin showed the fire department's certificate. As an agent of the Countermeasures Bureau, he had all the certificates.

The store manager's face turned green. Although this is indeed against the fire regulations, every high-end clothing store does this. Putting a few red fire extinguishers on both sides of the entrance is too cheap. Usually, those inspectors are very good. What's the matter with the guy? After confirming the certificate, it is indeed the person from the fire station.

"I'm going to a party tomorrow."

Colin said calmly.

The store manager understood in an instant, and he was relieved. No one would want these rubbish things for 500 yuan a piece outside. It just printed a LOGO that looked very high-end, and he didn’t wear it himself. Let Ke Lin choose as much as he wanted. Some don't matter, some are ballast stocks.

So, without any money at all, he took over coats and boots worth about [-] in total.

Their cost may be less than 300 yuan, all of which are premiums for publicizing and planning various training designers, etc. This is a legal fraud with hundreds or thousands of times of huge profits.

"Is this looking at the world in a dialectical way? It's too fucking stupid!"

Eugene was speechless, and immediately began to choose.
