Blade of Time

Chapter 178 Reunion
Less than ten days after taking office, Su Rong, the head of the Town Demon Bureau, made a big deal and locked down the No. 2 important suspect in the explosion case in the old district.

Although there are only suspects now, if the Town Demon Bureau can directly announce in this way, it is basically enough self-confidence.

This incident directly led to two consequences.

The first thing was that Lawrence's reputation plummeted again.

It's no secret that he has a good relationship with the Hongyang Group. Once this kind of thing happens, even if you are really innocent, you won't be able to get away with a pile of shit.

The second thing is that Su Rong's position is instantly stabilized - no one dares to withdraw her at this moment.

Whoever withdraws her is covering up the suspect.

Of course, that being said, Hongyang Group turned on their propaganda machine immediately.The first is to claim that Salaman is definitely not the murderer of the bombing in the old district, and that the Town and Magic Department is slandering good people.The second is to claim that Salaman is only the head of the security department of Hongyang Group, and all actions are personal actions.

You'd better be fine, if you have something to do, don't take me with you, it has nothing to do with me.

Hongyang Group's behavior is contradictory, but also very reasonable.

This incident has set off a huge public opinion among the people.

Some don't believe it, but more people do.There are also different opinions among those who believe it. Some people think it is Salaman's personal behavior, while others think it is the behavior of Hongyang Group. Why do you care so much about the land in the old district?Others think this is Lawrence's conspiracy.

Although the latter is the truth, the truth is so outrageous that it cannot be trusted, it is quickly drowned in invective.

Even Jiang Changye did not support Napton using this incident to attack Lawrence-in any case, political conspiracy cannot be made public, this is the bottom line.

Of course, not accusing Lawrence of being behind the bombing in the old district does not mean letting him go.

The unclear relationship between Lawrence and the Hongyang Group, and the behavior of finding someone to blame for the bombing in the old district at the beginning made the public extremely disappointed in him.

Compared to such a mayor, Napton, the rare mayor, is at least not that scary despite his stinky image.

What's more, he is still bringing economic benefits!
a few days later.

In Jingyun Square, a special unveiling ceremony is underway.

The audience roared with laughter as the curtain lifted to reveal Napton's antics and blowout from behind.

No one knows more about Napton than they do, and some have even seen Napton's blowout firsthand.

No one expected that Napton didn't care about it at all, and instead used this to get back the hype.

This made some people admire him.

Yes, you can do things that others can't, and you are worthy of admiration from others.

Many people think so, and even their impression of Napton has changed a lot.

Isn't it diarrhea?

It's human nature.

There needs to be more understanding between people.

A person who can make fun of himself and never give up, at least looks good.

So with the erection of the statue, Napton's prestige in this area gradually took shape.

The once notorious reputation gradually became apparent, and even many people from the same city would come to see the sculpture of the blowout mayor, and the statue of the blowout mayor became a small scenic spot that gradually became famous in this area.

Some people even directly expressed their willingness to support Napton as the mayor-they are already known as blowout mayors, and even if they are not elected mayors, they are not worthy of this nickname.

For the perfect personality in your mind, you have to vote for him-people vote for very nonsensical reasons, just like when the United Kingdom left the European Union, many people who chose to support the withdrawal would regret it, saying that I had It's just for fun, it's a ridiculous thing.

And voting for Mayor Blowout in order to make his nickname worthy of the name is really the reason why many people do so! ! !

The irresponsibility of voters is a big deal in political elections!
Napton's approval rating soared significantly.

Napton's campaign team was on full fire, canvassing votes everywhere, promising everywhere, and praised Napton to the sky and the earth, with hype.

In contrast, there was no movement on Lawrence's side.

For him, the most important thing now is not the election campaign - it is Salaman.

Su Rong opened up a new battlefield for him in the bombing case in the old district. If he loses this battlefield, it will not be a matter of losing the mayor's throne-you must know that Pure Land is a complete country.

The world is the country!
If you commit a crime in such a country, the biggest problem is probably that you have no place to escape—you can escape abroad on earth, but where can you escape here?
The shift of the strategic focus forced Lawrence to focus all his energy on the Town Demon Bureau, fighting with Su Rong.

Interestingly, Su Rong was promoted by him himself.

This feeling can be said to be as annoying as it is.

As for Su Rong, she is much simpler.

Regarding Salaman's case, Su Rong did not have much evidence, but not completely.

Ever since they found out that Salaman was the murderer, Su Rong and Tian Siruo had been looking for evidence, and they hadn't been idle for a while.

Although they did not obtain evidence of Salaman's presence at the crime scene, there were a lot of indirect evidence.

For example, where were you when the bombing happened in the old district?
While you have evidence that you are elsewhere, the fact is that evidence is easily destroyed given the answers.

In other words, although Su Rong could not prove that Salaman was the murderer of the bombing in the old district, she could at least prove that Salaman had made a lie about his whereabouts that day!
Secondly, the many commercial actions of Hongyang Group before and after the bombing in the old district also proved that they were prepared in this regard.Some of those executives were also arraigned, and it was confirmed that someone knew something was going to happen in the old district.

In addition is the origin of the equipment.

Although the equipment is placed in Xinghuo Locke, where did the equipment come from?
Or Hongyang Group!

Finally, there is Starfire Locke.

Although Xinghuo Locke has been denying it since he was arrested, the evidence on his side is solid, and it is useless to deny it. In the end, Xinghuo Locke can only admit that it was a person named Cardinal who arranged their actions.

As for who the cardinal was, he didn't know.However, among the two people who acted with him, one of them was very similar to Salaman, which he could confirm.

To put it simply, there is no direct evidence, but a lot of indirect evidence!
These things are used to judge ordinary cases, and perhaps they can be let go because of insufficient evidence.

But this is no ordinary case!

Many people believe that in a country ruled by law, it is better to let someone go than kill someone wrong.

But the truth is that's all propaganda.

But the case of the explosion in the old district is excluded!
The bombing case in the old district was a typical super-big case. Such a big case didn't alarm the city, but even the state and even the administrative committee of Pure Land.

In this case, it is almost impossible to use the so-called lack of direct evidence to let anyone go. No matter how talented a lawyer is, it is difficult for a murderer to escape the law-in fact, a lawyer with a brain will basically not Take such cases.

What's more, the Pure Land is not as good as the Earth when it comes to the rule of law.

The atmosphere of rule of man is still strong here.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy for Salaman and Hongyang Group to clear their suspicions.

As for Lawrence, all he can think about now is how to get rid of all this, so the election campaign really doesn't matter.

But he knows one thing better: once the election campaign is lost, it also means that his special status in this case will be lost.

Therefore, he still needs to give it a go.
