Chapter 32 Captain England
Chapter 32 Captain England
After Li Zhanyi's explanation, Lin Chen roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.
"The collapse of the Iron Horn Bridge was such a horrific incident that it completely destroyed United Concrete's credibility and successfully sent their chairman to jail."
Li Zhanyi pointed to a photo. Lin Chen looked up and saw a man with a weathered face. The name on the photo was Shen Tianhu.
"Now, the foundation has begun to seize a large share of United Concrete's business," Li Zhanyi sighed softly. "Not only that, they have also cultivated a brand new brand called Qingtian."
"So you plan to expose Qingtian at the commendation ceremony," Lin Chen nodded slightly, "that way you can trip up the foundation."
"After all, it would be troublesome to collect evidence once United Concrete was dismantled by other groups under the Foundation."
At this point, Li Zhanyi smiled at Lin Chen:
"By taking down Qingtian, you've actually saved us some trouble in a way. Although the Foundation's public relations logic is quite sound, the seeds of suspicion have already been sown."
"What should we do next?" Lin Chen asked.
He understood that Optimus Prime's death was not the end, and the Foundation's actions were still ongoing.
As long as their conspiracy continues, more residents of Rain City will become victims.
However, not everyone is like Lin Chen, who has the chance to encounter such a mirage city.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...
Moreover... what exactly the "Mirage City" is is still undetermined.
"We'll follow the clues," Li Zhanyi said. "The Iron Horn Bridge is a great starting point. Once we reveal the truth about the bridge incident, the foundation will be finished."
"As for the next person to be investigated... of course, it's Qingtian's old flame and successor."
Li Zhanyi pulled out a newly printed photo from somewhere and pasted it on the blackboard.
In the photo, a man wearing a blue, white, and red uniform is smiling confidently.
"Captain England?" Lin Chen whispered.
The more he looked, the more familiar the man in front of him seemed, so he kept searching for scenes in his memory...
Finally, Lin Chen remembered where he had seen this face before:
"Isn't that the guy who got elbowed down by Skybreaker in the rugby game?"
"what?"
Li Zhanyi was somewhat taken aback:
"Elbow what?"
......
In the director's office, Hua Molan looked at the photo Jiang Zhengge handed her: a photo of Captain England.
"They actually chose someone with such a connection to Qingtian to succeed him," Hua Molan said in a low voice. "This can be considered a provocation."
"What they mean is, you kill one, we'll trade one," Jiang Zhengge smiled. "They can train as many Gamma-level demigods as they want."
"Any clues?" Hua Molan looked up.
"The relationship between Captain England and 'Eldest Brother' is confirmed," Jiang Zhengge said, rubbing his forehead. "How should I put it... both Qingtian and him are 'Eldest Brother's' favorites, which means..."
"I understand what you mean, no need for detailed description." Hua Molan had a bit of a headache.
Jiang Zhengge's lips curled slightly, revealing a playful smile.
"In short, after Optimus Prime died, Captain England took over."
"Just imagine, two enemies vying for the same man's favor... what a tragic love story..."
"So you decided to use him as a breakthrough point because you felt he was closer to the 'eldest brother' and closer to the center of the incident?"
"That's right," Jiang Zhengge nodded, "Anyway, let's send someone to keep watch first, it'll be a good opportunity for the new recruits to experience it..."
Just then, Jiang Zhengge's phone rang.
He took out his phone, glanced at it, and said:
"Ah... a job more suitable for young people has arrived."
Hua Molan also took out her phone and glanced at it, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Are you sure you want to send that newcomer? We haven't even confirmed his psychic abilities yet. You've seen the experimental results; it's not some kind of mimicry or super hearing. What if something goes wrong?"
"It's precisely because we don't know that we should let him go."
Jiang Zhengge tapped the table lightly with his finger:
"How can we find out if we don't let him go?"
......
The vibration of the phone interrupted Li Zhanyi's further questioning of the "elbow flip".
She picked up her phone, glanced at it, and said:
"We've got work to do, Lin Chen."
"So fast?" Lin Chen was somewhat surprised.
This is only my first day on the job, and I'm already getting tasks?
"An unusual erosion phenomenon has occurred at a secondary school in Xiwang District. The subspace readings at the site are rising. The entity must be contained or destroyed immediately, or the school will be in danger."
As he said this, Li Zhanyi stood up, picked up the black coat from the coat rack, and put it on.
Lin Chen put on his coat, picked up the pistol on the table, and put it into the holster inside his coat.
The two walked together toward the door of the department, where Lucy was already waiting.
"Here you go, little brother, a latte."
Lin Chen took the latte from Lucy and watched as the short woman put on her coat and sunglasses.
"Is Lucy-senpai coming with us too?" he asked.
"Of course," Lucy glanced back at Lin Chen, "You can drive, can you?"
Five minutes later.
As the elevator doors opened, the three men, dressed in black trench coats, walked into the Bureau of Investigation lobby in unison.
Lucy, who was walking ahead, raised her hand, and a white dove flew down and delivered a letter to her.
She opened the envelope, reading it quickly as she walked:
"Intelligence from the front line indicates that the anomaly is tentatively classified as Delta-level, but there are a considerable number of them, and their type cannot be determined, making it unsuitable for 'police officers' to be on duty."
"Another new guy?" Li Zhanyi straightened his bow tie as he walked.
"It seems so, and it's very purposeful."
Lucy tore the letter into pieces and tossed them aside; the pieces were instantly burned to ashes by the flames.
She adjusted her sunglasses, concealing her eyes which gleamed with a deep blue light, and said softly:
"Looks like it's another trick by the foundation."
"Buzz—"
The sunlight had disappeared sometime earlier, and the rain had once again soaked into the faint rain stains.
The black van drove into the rain and headed towards the scene of the incident.
Lin Chen sat in the back row, loading bullets into the pistol magazine one by one.
"Can we solve the anomaly with just firearms?" Lin Chen asked.
"Most structures in the real world can be destroyed by firearms," Li Zhanyi said, pointing and gesturing on his tablet. "If not, then the firepower is insufficient."
"That makes sense..."
After Lin Chen finished loading the magazine, he put it into the magazine pouch inside his black coat and took out his phone.
"Looks like I'll have to postpone asking about Huihui's school enrollment until tomorrow..."
Lin Chen sent Huihui a message saying that he had to go out to work in the afternoon.
A few seconds later, Huihui replied immediately:
"Brother, be careful."
Lin Chen's lips curled slightly as the car pulled up to the side of the road.
"We've arrived."
"Let's go," Li Zhanyi said, "Let's find out what happened at the scene from the Second Division."
Lin Chen nodded, opened the car door, and opened the umbrella.
After Li Zhanyi arrived under the umbrella, he walked towards the school gate not far away.
At this moment, large groups of teachers and students were evacuating from the school, and the scene was being cordoned off.
At a glance, Lin Chen spotted a familiar face: Marcus, the head of the Second Section, was standing in the pouring rain, dressed in a black uniform with his arms crossed.
His wrist was bandaged, and it looked like he was injured.
What a small world... Lin Chen thought to himself as he walked towards Marcus:
"Hello comrade, I'd like to understand the situation."
"Why are you acting like a salesman..." Li Zhanyi muttered from the side.
Marcus turned his head and saw Lin Chen, his face expressionless.
"The situation is deteriorating," he said. "The dimensional anchor has failed, and the dimension is falling, expected to reach D-1 in half an hour."
