Chapter 943 The sun still shines on this land (big chapter request)
"The rain has stopped!"
Standing in front of the medical detector, being rotated by the mechanical tray, Liz stretched out her hand, touched the moist air, and looked at the sky above her head with a radiant crack.
"It rained all night and finally stopped."
Tucker on the side lit a cigarette, held it in his mouth, and looked at the glory of the sky.
He was actually quite worried about the situation in the mayor's office.
When he knew that He Ao had transferred all the members of the mayor's guard who were staying in the mayor's palace to evacuate the crowd, he felt that he was going to be in trouble. He even made a special call to hope that Mr. Lin En could keep some people as the mayor's security.
But Mr. Lynn did not agree with his suggestion.
Then he heard the news that an assassin assassinated the mayor and died in the mayor's office. The assassination process was also recorded by the office's surveillance cameras.
He was panicked at first, but then he understood completely.
Obviously, Mayor Lin En was 'inviting you into the urn', deliberately creating an opportunity to give the assassin a chance, and then meet the 'assassin' with his own eyes.
Looking away from the sky, Tucker raised his head and glanced at the surrounding team members who were checking their injuries and the evacuated crowd in the distance.
I have to say that this gang of bastards' 'frame-up' strategy is indeed very vicious.
If Mr. Linn hadn't asked him to arrange most of the people in advance and control the situation at the critical moment, he would have suppressed a bloody massacre into an ordinary riot.
Let these guys expand the massacre, killing civilians and marchers, creating chaos, and spreading rumors that the mayor's guards killed opponents.
Not only will many people die here unjustly, but Mr. Lin will also be entangled in public opinion and stains.
As long as there is some evidence or rumors, the consortium will probably use the media to smear Mr. Lin En, even if they know it is an unjust case.
When everyone is talking about this matter, it no longer matters whether the matter itself is innocent or not.
Even if Mr. Lin En can explain clearly in the end, it will seriously affect his authority and greatly reduce the effectiveness of Mr. Lin En's speech today.
Those lackeys of the consortium not only want Mr. Lin En to die, but also want his reputation to be completely ruined and become someone who cannot be imitated.
The best way to deal with this matter is to make arrangements in advance to stifle possible crises.
Tucker took a puff of cigarette and blew out some smoke from his mouth.
But how many people in this world can be keenly aware of the crisis beforehand?
This is not the first time that the consortium has arranged for people to parade here, and it is not the first time that the surrounding citizens have been here to watch.
And even if they are aware of a possible crisis, how many people dare to directly transfer most of the troops protecting themselves to protect ordinary people?
And judging from the final outcome of the matter, the other party was not a fool. After realizing that most of the mayor's guards had been arranged, he really arranged for strong men to assassinate him.
Although Mr. Linn seemed to have deliberately left a clear path for these assassins, Tucker actually knew very well that Mr. Linn was also protecting the remaining members of the mayor's guard in a sense.
With the level of the mayor's guard remaining in the mayor's palace, it is probably difficult to stop the powerful extraordinary assassin. They may very well become the dead souls of the extraordinary assassin, and can only barely weaken the assassin's physical strength.
So Mr. Linn deliberately asked them to avoid the assassin, and while making way for the assassin, he also protected the members of the mayor's guard.
Of course, the result of this is that Mr. Lin En himself will be exposed to the assassin in his prime, and the risk factor increases a lot.
Those who protect the mayor are protected by the mayor.
Tucker took another drag on his cigarette, looked at the huge screen that was replaying the speech, and looked at the old man on the screen.
Powerful, wise, keen, kind and decisive.
It seemed that he had not met such a charismatic leader for a long, long time.
Perhaps, Mr. Linn can really change this city completely.
At this time, Liz, who was not far away, also completed her medical examination and simple bandaging.
The test screen showed that she was in good condition, but there were some injuries on her skin. The medical staff gave her basic treatment and tied a bandage.
However, these doctors and nurses had previously taken care of people from the mayor's guard. They used less anesthesia and their handling methods did not seem to be very gentle.
At this moment, this lovely woman with short ash-blonde hair, who was not tall but exuded a heroic spirit, was curled up next to the medical advice table, grinning in pain.
"Little girl,"
Seeing this scene, Tucker smiled and walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, "You are very courageous. My name is Tucker. I am now the deputy captain of the mayor's guard. You performed very well today."
"Thank you, my name is Liz."
Liz breathed in the cold air, stood up staggeringly, leaned on the medical table, looked at Tucker with her head raised, she hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Is there something wrong with you leaving me here?"
Just after the incident ended, she was ready to leave, but Tucker dragged her over and did a medical examination.
"nothing,"
Tucker looked at Liz, who was smelling the smoke and had a strange look on her face, but did not dare to speak. He reached out and pinched off the cigarette butt, "That's right, I saw the scene where you exposed the crimes of the consortium's lackeys in front of the speech screen. You
Very courageous,”
He glanced up at the nearby attackers who were being controlled, then turned back and continued, "We happened to catch some attackers, so I hope you will cooperate as a witness."
"Ah, I actually just got a little excited after listening to the speech at that time..."
Liz opened her mouth. She actually didn't want to deal with the city government. Then she hesitated, glanced at the bandage on her hand, and said slowly, "But if you need a witness, I can also be a witness."
Then she paused for a moment, hesitating a little, but finally said, "Also, I actually collected a lot of money. The leader gave it to me. Do I have to confiscate the money..."
"Which one is leading?"
Hearing her words, Tucker was slightly startled, "The bald prosthetic transformer who attacked you?"
"no,"
Liz shook her head, "A thin, tall one, looking a bit fierce..."
Tucker was stunned for a moment as he listened to Liz's description, then raised his bracelet, projected a picture of a thin man, handed it to Liz's eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Is this it?"
Seeing the photo, Liz was stunned for a moment, then looked at it carefully and nodded lightly, "Yes."
Then she glanced at the wound on the thin man's neck, raised her head hesitantly, and looked at Tucker, "Is he dead?"
"Dead, assassinated the mayor and then was killed,"
Tucker took back his bracelet and looked calmly at Liz, who was obviously confused when she heard the phrase 'assassination of the mayor.' "You don't have to worry about his threats. As for the money you received, that's your normal
As long as you remember to file your tax return in time, we have no right to interfere with your income."
"real?"
When she heard that the money would not be confiscated, Liz, who was a little surprised just now, was suddenly attracted to her attention and looked at Tucker with some surprise.
Then she seemed to realize that she was a little presumptuous, and bowed slightly to Tucker solemnly, "Thank you."
She got one thousand federal coins from the thin man, plus today's 'part-time fee', a total of one thousand and seventy-five federal coins.
This was enough for her fourteen weeks and nearly four months of rent. All the money was used to buy medicine, and she didn't have to worry about her parents' medicine for a few months.
Strictly speaking, she did complete the thin man's commission, whether it was a parade or walking in front of the screen, but she gave the thin man some 'surprises' in the later stages, and she also gave the thin man some surprises beforehand.
said.
Of course, with the influence of "news literacy" gained from being with Yi Ni for a long time, she is now somewhat relieved.
The slender man was most likely planning to kill her when she came to the screen from the beginning, and confirmed the story of "mayor's guards killing marchers" right when the media took photos of her.
If that were to happen, her photo would probably be on the front page of the city tomorrow - just a photo of a bloody corpse.
Of course, after she added the 'surprise', the thin man also wanted to kill her immediately.
So she was really grateful from the bottom of her heart. If Tucker hadn't rushed with the mayor's guards so fast that the attackers who approached her had no chance, she would have ended her life before the bald man appeared.
"Don't thank me, just thank Mr. Lin En,"
Tucker shrugged, "These arrangements were all arranged by Mr. Linn. He was keenly aware of all this and made the arrangements. I am just a worker. I really should be grateful for surviving this attack today."
Mr. Lynn."
"Mr. Lynn?"
Liz was stunned for a moment, then she finally came to her senses and asked in a low voice, "Is it Mr. Mayor?"
"Yes, Mayor Mr. Linn."
Tucker gave her a confused look, "Don't you know the mayor's name?"
Liz subconsciously shrank her head and said with some embarrassment, "I didn't pay much attention to these before."
At this time, Tucker was somewhat silent, "You have never paid attention to Mr. Linn, but you risked your life and rushed to the screen to reveal the truth for Mr. Linn?"
"Mr. Lynn's... speech is quite right, isn't it?"
Liz smiled, her eyelids lowered, and said softly,
"My parents were retired from the mine. They had pneumoconiosis and their ears couldn't work. When they were diagnosed, they were already very ill and lost most of their ability to work. The mine fired them without giving them any compensation.
To compensate them, they can only do some simple part-time jobs with low wages. We don’t have money to replace biological lungs or clean lungs, so we can only barely buy some medicine."
She paused and whispered, "I'm not really very courageous, but at that time, I was a little... over the top."
"Feel sorry."
Tucker sighed softly and whispered.
"It's okay, actually it's pretty good. If you look for anyone on the roadside in Wick or Ningwis, they might have a more tragic story than mine,"
Liz smiled and shook her head. For some reason, her eyes naturally moved behind her, towards the huge screen where the speech was being played.
Unknowingly, she was once again immersed in the calm and passionate speech.
Tucker stood quietly beside him, stepped back a little distance, and lit a cigarette.
Liz quickly listened to the speech again, and then she seemed to remember something. After thinking, she slowly raised her head, turned her gaze sideways, and looked at the white building behind the screen, looking at one of the buildings that was still shining brightly.
wooden windows.
If her inference at the time was correct, the position of the window was where the light of the petals came from.
However, when looking at the window, she vaguely felt that the window looked familiar, as if she had seen it elsewhere.
She hesitated for a moment, turned back, looked at Tucker, and pointed to the window, "Can I ask where that window is?"
"Hmm? Which one?"
Tucker raised his head in confusion, took out the cigarette, looked forward along Liz's finger, and then his eyes paused slightly.
He did not directly answer Liz's words, but looked down at the screen that was still playing the speech not far ahead.
Liz's gaze also followed his gaze downward.
She didn't understand at first, and then she saw the window behind the old man giving a speech.
At this moment, she finally realized why that window felt familiar to her.
Because she has always seen it in the speech video.
She turned back and asked cautiously, "Was that... Mr. just there the whole time? It was when the attack happened."
"Maybe after the speech,"
Tucker held a cigarette in his mouth and said slowly. He naturally saw the beam of light that penetrated the bald man, "I don't know whether you are there now or in the future."
"Thanks."
Liz nodded slightly, knowing that the captain of the guard in front of her had some confidentiality requirements and could not reveal the mayor's current or future location in his schedule.
So it was Mr. Mayor who saved himself?
The dazzling light brought by the petals appeared in her mind again.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a slight vibration on her bracelet.
She raised her hand and looked at the bracelet, which showed an incoming call from 'Yini'.
She quickly clicked on the bracelet and found that this was not the first time Yi Ni called. In the past few minutes, Yi Ni had made several calls, but she was attracted by the window and the speech and never felt the call.
She raised the phone, nodded slightly to Tucker, turned sideways, walked away, and then reached out to answer the phone.
"Oh my God, I finally got through!"
A nervous shout came from the other end of the phone, "Liz, can you hear me?"
"I can hear you,"
Liz quickly replied, "Something happened just now and I didn't receive the call."
"I just turned on my bracelet, and there was talk on the Internet about a terrorist attack at the gate of White Jasmine Palace? Liz, are you working there part-time? Were you injured?"
The other end of the phone was obviously nervous, "When I couldn't get through to you just now, I thought you were dead."
"Don't worry, I won't die that easily,"
Liz smiled, and then she paused, "And not only did I not die, I did something big this time, and you will be able to see me on the headlines of major news soon... Well, if everything goes well."
"What's the big deal? Is it related to a terrorist attack? Don't you tell me that you're going to see a volunteer?"
The other end of the phone was a little shocked, "With your small body, those gangsters can strangle you to death with one hand."
"Why are you talking?"
Liz raised her eyebrows slightly, "I'm going to face a group of them alone, so I won't panic at all."
"I'm afraid it's not that I'm not panicking at all, but that I'm so scared that I can't move,"
As if she felt that her friend could still joke and was in good condition, Yi Ni on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Then our headline star, would you be interested in accepting an exclusive interview with me?"
"Of course, that depends on whether your stingy boss can afford the price,"
Liz smiled and said, "After all, my appearance fee is very high, and I also have to determine with the mayor's guard what can and cannot be said."
"Okay, my big star, I will finish the big news in my hands soon. I will come to you after I posted this news..."
Yi Ni's voice was smiling and she suddenly paused, "Wait a minute, Mayor's Guard, are you serious?"
"Am I still lying to you?"
This time, Liz laughed out loud, and then her wound opened due to the violent movements. She arched up in pain and took a breath of cold air, but she covered the microphone so that Yi Ni on the other side of the phone could not hear it.
The sound of his own pain.
"Then I have to have a good talk with that old miser of mine,"
Yi Ni on the other end of the phone seemed lost in thought, "If my big news becomes popular, I should be able to get a higher price."
"Then I have to rely on you for next month's rent, big reporter."
Liz smiled.
······
Tucker, who was watching Liz talking and laughing on the phone in the distance, was holding a cigarette and his eyes fell on the old windows that were still bright. He raised his head again and looked at the dark clouds above his head, which were scattered with some messy jasmine flowers.
