"Hey, it's time for you guys to wake up. The sun is almost scorching your butts now. Why are you still lying down and unable to get up?"
The rough androgynous female voice echoed in the hall on the second floor. The team members who had had a good night's rest last night finally woke up and struggled to get up from their sleeping places. They seemed to be still fighting against the sleepiness in their minds.
.
After watching the press conference last night, they also drank a lot of wine like Mann, as a celebration of completing the tasks they had worked so hard these days.
Now that I have just woken up, everyone's head still hurts badly.
"Dolio, why do you look like nothing is wrong? Didn't everyone drink last night? Are you just so disappointed and don't drink at all?" Mann patted his head hard, as if this would make him happy.
Wake yourself up.
Before the press conference started last night, he had already picked up several bottles of wine and started stuffing them into his mouth, so much so that he fell asleep in the middle of the press conference.
He had no idea what happened last night.
But seeing that everyone looked like they had a headache, they must have drank a lot, so Dorio was still a little sober.
"I'm not like you. Most of my muscles are built by my own hard work. In order to drink to your heart's content, you even turned off the biometric monitoring. Even if I don't have that thing, my body metabolism is still faster than yours.
"Dolio grinned.
As soon as she finished speaking, she deliberately showed her arms to everyone and performed a lifting motion. The rising sunlight outside the window just shone on her body, highlighting the delicate muscle lines on her arms.
Mann twitched his lips, really not knowing how to answer his old friend, so in the end he could only change the subject:
"Okay, okay, stop showing off those muscles. How was the press conference last night? Nothing went wrong."
"Everything went well. Colonel Hansen performed very well. In the end, he even deliberately put on a show and placed himself on the side of justice. Today is the day when he will hold a hearing. He plans to invite various media and various forces.
The investigation team came to help him testify." Dolio explained.
David, who was leaning on the sofa, glanced at the two parents-in-law for a few times, and then finally overcame the fatigue in his body. He stood up and stretched his muscles, and the bones and joints of his body made a popping sound.
Then, he picked up the remote control on the table and turned on the TV. What came into view was the news station from last night.
The program content that appeared on the screen at this time happened to be a luxuriously decorated conference hall, with a large "mouth"-shaped conference table in the middle. Reporters from all walks of life were lined up in the corners of the hall, taking pictures attentively.
Live footage.
The conference table was already filled with many people, and only the main seat at the front was still vacant.
It can be seen that the so-called hearing is about to begin. Representatives from all parties' investigation teams have already appeared, and only Hansen, the master, has not yet arrived.
"The hearing hasn't started yet, so it's not too late for us to get up." David stated calmly.
"Then can I take a nap?" Qiwei yawned and rested her head on the sofa sleepily.
"Whatever, as long as one person is watching, it won't be too late to notify everyone until the hearing officially begins." David nodded, then seemed to have thought of something, and asked again:
"By the way, are you hungry? Do you need me to ask my mother to bring some breakfast?"
Everyone began to think after hearing this. They all knew that David's mother, Gloria, worked in the company building next door and managed the small company called "Lin's Garbage Disposal Company".
It wouldn't be a problem to ask the other party to bring some breakfast.
Mann seemed to have thought of something, looked at everyone, his eyes lit up and said: "Hey, I want to ask you what do you usually eat when you go to the movies?"
"Why do you ask this?" Dolio looked at her man in confusion.
"Just think about it, when the hearing begins, there will definitely be a wonderful scolding battle between Hansen and the people from the New US Investigation Team. If we take the opportunity to eat something, won't it ruin the atmosphere of watching the show?" Mann said with great interest.
say.
"I didn't expect you to have this kind of hobby, Mann?" David gave him a strange look: "This is not a movie, what can be good about it?"
He didn't think there was anything interesting in such a boring meeting.
When watching the press conference last night, he felt a little sleepy.
After all, the whole process is nothing more than Hansen naming people, reporters asking questions, and finally Hansen himself answering the questions.
If there wasn't really anything to do and everyone in the team was gathered together to watch TV, he would have wanted to run to the arcade area to play video games.
Mann curled his lips and said disdainfully:
"Tch, you kid knows nothing. What's so good about those movies that are about fighting and killing? Aren't ordinary people going to watch them? Which of us can't watch such a thing about fighting and killing?
It’s not like doing it every few days.”
"But this time is different. Didn't you hear Lin Mo say that we should pay more attention to the news? Although that kid is often rude, he will not deceive others in serious matters. Since he has said that we should pay more attention to the news, it means that we should pay more attention to the news.
There will be some exciting news in the upcoming hearing!"
That seems to be the meaning.
Lin Mo was specifically brought up as an argument, which undoubtedly added a lot of persuasiveness to Mann's words, and David also looked astonished.
"What Mann said makes sense... maybe we can see the kid himself at the hearing later." Falco, who was sitting at the wine bar, couldn't help but say.
This veteran driver, who usually remained calm and calm in the past, also showed an interested look at this time.
You know, that kid has never appeared on TV news on his own initiative!
It is indeed quite attractive to have such a familiar friend appear on TV news, and the other person may very well "play" a certain role.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! David immediately called his mother:
"Hey, Mom, can you bring us some breakfast and snacks? Well, yes, just snacks. We will watch Hansen's hearing together later... Oh, do you know about this too?
I don’t need to explain..."
"Help me say thank you to Madam, it's really too much trouble for her." Dolio reminded her politely in a low voice.
"...Well, okay mom, we are waiting for you here. Also, everyone asked me to say thank you...bye." After a few casual greetings, David smiled and hung up the phone.
Later, while waiting, everyone dispersed, each washed up in the bathroom, and drank cold water to clear their heads.
A few people leisurely found a place to sit indoors, chatted with each other for a few words, and each did their own thing, until a burst of loud applause suddenly came from the TV.
"Fuck, it's started, it's started, look."
Mann rubbed his hands excitedly, quite like a child who discovered that the cartoon he had been waiting for had suddenly started airing.
On the TV screen, Hansen's figure slowly walked in from the door, and most of the people following him were Nether Dog officers in combat uniforms.
"Damn it, this guy Lin Mo is quite capable. He used to pretend to be a representative of Kang Tao Company to talk to Hansen, but now he has become a lackey of Netherworld Dog?" Mann pointed at the screen and shouted.
.
Everyone also looked surprised.
Although the scene was being filmed and the live reporters focused most of their shots on Hansen and only casually glanced at the entourage behind him, everyone watching the news was not an experienced marginal person.
They all recognized at a glance the boy who had changed into the uniform of a Nether Dog officer. The boy was sitting next to Hansen as if he were his deputy. He was serious and upright.
"No, I almost want to laugh. This kid is so capable of causing trouble." Mann looked at the TV with a happy face, feeling a strong sense of joy inexplicably.
David also had a smile on his face, but compared to Mann who was having fun, he noticed something was wrong:
"Strange, what is he doing among the entourage? Is he worried that people from Xinmei will launch a frontal attack on Hansen?"
The hearing site was surrounded by a large number of Nether Dog soldiers, enough to ensure the safety of the venue.
But Lin Mo still showed up at the venue and sat next to Hansen himself...
Apart from ensuring Hansen's safety, David could not think of any reason to explain why Lin Mo appeared there.
"How is this possible? If they wanted to carry out an assassination, the people from Xinmei would have already planned it... Well, it doesn't seem right. Every one of their actions has been sabotaged by us. Maybe they still have this plan?" Mann
He rubbed his chin.
"It's impossible. Hansen made it clear last night that the missile attack was a farce directed and staged by New America. If they chose this time to assassinate Hansen, isn't it equivalent to telling the outside world that what Hansen said is true."
Dolio glanced at Mann and sighed silently, as if she was regretting how her man could have such naive thoughts.
Mann was not convinced and said: "Then tell me why this kid showed up at the venue?"
"Didn't you just want to watch a show? You'll find out if you watch it honestly, maybe you want to spoil it!" Dolio replied rudely.
Ding dong.
The sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted the conversation of several people. David's eyes moved, and he immediately opened the door and disappeared from his seat.
About ten seconds later, he quickly appeared on the sofa again, carrying several large bags of food.
"Here, your takeout has arrived, and my mom is here too. She said she also wants to watch TV with us." David casually placed the breakfasts for several people on the table.
"Auntie is here too?" Dolio looked at the door curiously, and sure enough, after a while Gloria appeared at the door with a soft smile on her face.
"I'm not disturbing you. I happen to be free here. I heard from David that Lin Mo seemed to have asked you to watch this hearing together. If you don't mind, can I come with you?" Gloria asked with a smile.
"How can this be troublesome? This small building is nominally your property, madam." Dolio said with a smile.
Gloria shook her head, walked to David and sat down, and continued: "No, I am just an agent, this should be his thing."
She looked at the TV screen quietly, focusing on the live broadcast, and then said nothing.
Gloria's arrival inevitably made several people in Mann's team become a little quieter. Even Pyrrha, who was the most cheerful in the past, could not help but clamp her tail at this time and did not dare to let loose at all.
Seeing that the atmosphere among everyone had become a little cold, Mann also felt helpless. After all, David's parents had come over. If their "pig friends and dog friends" didn't know better, they would undoubtedly end up in Gloria.
To save David’s face.
Several people opened the bag and took out the packed breakfast box. While tasting the food carefully, they looked at the TV.
Under the gaze of everyone, Hansen, who had been seated for a long time, finally spoke.
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. If you want to be polite, don't continue chatting. Let's get started." He said straight to the point.
Polite applause erupted in the venue, and representatives from all parties gave Hansen the kindest greetings, which could be regarded as recognition of his efforts over the past few days to prove his innocence.
Of course, among so many people applauding, there were also a few people sitting in their seats with gloomy faces, turning a deaf ear to the applause ringing around them.
Soon, the applause stopped at Hansen's signal. He himself looked contemptuously at the representatives who had not said a word since they took their seats, and slowly said:
"First of all, I want to make it clear to you - the missile that attacked Kongtian-1 and the missile that appeared rashly at noon yesterday were both done by the same group of people, and they were very bold because the location where the missile was launched happened to be at the stadium.
The place where your investigation team keeps its men and sundries."
As he spoke, a 3D projected structural diagram quickly appeared on the conference table, showing detailed data of the entire stadium in front of many representatives, as well as the missile launcher located in a hidden corner.
In addition, there is a video being played next to it, which happened to be shot by the Ghost Dog soldiers who were sent to investigate yesterday, clearly showing everyone the general appearance of the missile launcher.
This is a portable missile launcher that usually only appears on battlefields with fierce battles.
Although it is called "portability", it can only be called portability when compared with various armed equipment on a battlefield where the situation is unpredictable. In fact, the weight of this thing is not small, and it must be implanted by at least one person.
Only soldiers with powerful prosthetics can carry it, but ordinary people will certainly not be able to carry it.
Because of this, after completing the launch mission, the device could only be left here. The personnel who performed the launch mission fled almost immediately after the mission was completed.
"Based on the clues left at the scene, we can be very confident that the mastermind behind the incident must be a delegation from a certain force."
Hansen slowly showed a smile, and his smile was very cold: "As for who this group of people are, I don't need to explain too much."
Representatives of the investigation team from various forces all looked at the gloomy-faced people, and even the camera lenses were focused on the faces of these people.
"Members of the Xinmei Investigation Team, don't you want to say something?"
