Why are you coming to the suburbs in the middle of the night when you are not at home with your wife?
And it doesn’t seem like Congressman Plot’s home is here in St. Hughes, right?
With this question in mind, Teacher Tony went downstairs to greet him.
Although it is strange why Plott appears here, after all, he is a congressman, and he must still give him the face he deserves.
Soon, Teacher Tony and the police officer saw Plott at the door.
The short-haired congressman with slightly gray hair looked terrifyingly dark at the moment.
Teacher Tony remembered that the last time Plott had such a dark face was the last time.
Plott failed to run for president that time, missing by only 20 votes.
Counting the time, it’s time for the general election again next year.
"Congressman Plott." Tony greeted the police officer.
Plott nodded and asked, "Have you found the person?"
"No." Tony asked casually, "It seems that the congressman already knows what happened here?"
Plott did not explain: "Take me in and have a look."
"Okay." Teacher Tony made an invitation gesture and led Plott back to the experimental building.
I looked at four floors in a row, and they were all extremely clean.
"As you can see." Teacher Tony said, "This place must have been robbed. The robbers were so crazy that they didn't even spare the staff here and robbed them together."
"If it's not to use them as hostages, then the robbers themselves have similar experimental institutions and need these staff to work for them."
After a pause, Teacher Tony added: "I prefer the second possibility."
Hostage-taking is usually done to deal with the police, but in fact during the incident, the police had no idea about the incident and there was no need for them to take hostages.
Even if it is to provide an extra layer of protection when being rounded up in the future, there is no need to arrest so many people.
Not counting security guards, there are more than a thousand researchers alone, which is very troublesome to control.
If one accidentally escapes, it will greatly increase their chances of being exposed.
Being able to carry out such a big deal without anyone noticing shows that the robbers this time are experienced and have rich criminal experience and will not make such low-level mistakes.
"You also know that it is very troublesome to control more than a thousand people." Plott said, "There is the smell of blood in the air. Have you never thought that they are all dead?"
"We didn't find the body." Tony replied, "The surveillance was also hacked. We don't know how many people came from the other party. Maybe it was more than a thousand?"
Ten people, a hundred people may not be able to watch a thousand people, but a thousand people one on one will be fine.
At least there won't be any problems in the short term.
Plott glanced at the police officers indifferently: "The police in Fort Saint-Hugh are really powerful."
This is the first time in the history of Dayang Kingdom that a large-scale crime involving thousands of people has occurred.
This scale is no less than a small war.
He was able to allow so many criminals to sneak into Fort Saint-Hugh, and quietly robbed more than a thousand people.
I grew up making a living, isn't the police in Fort Saint-Hugh very powerful?
Faced with Plott's taunt, the police officer broke out in a cold sweat.
Only then did he realize belatedly that if this was not a "move" but a real case, then their local police station would really be doomed.
There were over a thousand robbers, but they didn't notice it at all. This was definitely a huge dereliction of duty, and they might be dismissed from get out of class collectively.
"I think what the congressman said is more likely. They should all be dead." The police officer tried to calm down. "At least the dead are easier to deal with than the living, right?"
It is much easier to kill a thousand people than to capture a thousand people.
As long as they are strong enough, even one person can kill all these researchers who have little combat effectiveness.
It's best if this is the case.
The fewer criminals there are, the less responsibility their police department will bear.
Tony sneered inwardly, speaking as if it was really easy to dispose of more than a thousand corpses without leaving any traces.
As expected of a politician, he tied the local police station to his boat with just one sentence.
It may not be appropriate to use the method of "taking sides" to describe the different opinions that arise when reasoning about a case, but Tony doesn't like Plott's speaking style, as if he is trying to force others to accept his own opinion, but he can't provide any evidence.
.
It wasn't that Tony hadn't thought that all the researchers here might be dead, but he just thought about it and couldn't just treat them as dead.
The police station said that these researchers were fine during the day.
It is extremely irresponsible to treat a person as dead if he has been missing for less than 24 hours.
To put it mildly, how much do you hope these researchers will burp their shit as soon as possible?
Tony himself thought it was very strange that Representative Plott appeared in the experimental park at this time. Now seeing Plott's reaction, Teacher Tony felt even more strange.
Plot seemed to be sure that all the more than a thousand staff members were dead. Why?
Just because of the smell of blood in the air?
There is another point worth pondering.
Plot seemed to be familiar with the architectural layout of this experimental campus.
He said he was asked to take him in for a look, but after entering the experimental building, Plott kept walking at the front.
He seemed very anxious.
Apart from his dark complexion, this short-haired congressman actually doesn't have much expression on his face. But after Mr. Tony has handled cases for so many years, he has long been able to judge other people's emotions not just by facial expressions.
Body movements are the most honest expression of a person.
Without his reminder, Plott found the fire exit with ease and led them to the first floor below.
"There is actually a laboratory here?" the police officer asked in surprise.
Looking at the closed gate, he reacted again: "Are they hiding inside?"
"They" refers to the missing researchers.
This door looks very strong at first glance and is a good place to hide from robbers.
Plot ignored him, walked to the door and swiped the card, and the gate opened to both sides.
Police officer: "??!"
The second door is the fingerprint, the third door is the face, the fourth door is the pupils, and the last door is the password.
Plott walked into the laboratory without any obstruction.
The police officer was stunned and looked at Teacher Tony: "This...?"
Teacher Tony ignored him and followed him in while the door was open.
After checking the room, Plott's face became even more ugly, livid.
The energy card is gone, the black box is gone, the equipment is gone...
Let alone human beings, these guys didn't even leave him a white card.
shuck!
Plott cursed in his heart.
He took a deep breath and spent a full minute suppressing his anger.
After calming down a little, Plot said: "This experimental park is mine."
"Guessed it." Tony said.
Plot pointed to the door and asked, "Do you know what this security system is called?"
Police officer: "..."
This touched upon his knowledge blind spot.
"Aegis." The young police officer didn't understand, but the well-informed teacher Tony knew, "The Central Bank of Worthington also uses this. It has five-fold verification. The gates and walls can resist the ninth-level star card to a certain extent.
The impact.”
"But now the door is closed and intact, but the people and things inside are missing." Plott said.
The police officer thought: "Could they be invisible and follow someone with authority in?"
Plott: "Then how do they get out?"
Police officer: "Forcing researchers to open the door?"
"What kind of coercion? Life? What if the person being coerced is not afraid of death?" Plott said, "The researchers here do not have the authority to open the door. The only one who can open the door is the manager, and the manager was personally selected by me.
Once the person comes in, even if he dies, he will never let him go."
So brave?
Are you a scientific researcher or a death squad?
"Can I ask what the project of this laboratory is?" Teacher Tony.
Plott refused to answer: "No."
"Okay." Teacher Tony spread his hands, "Just pretend I didn't ask."
The police officer was puzzled: "Then how did they get in and out again?"
"Teleport through the wall." Teacher Tony looked at Plott, "The opponent's card has the power of space. Is this what Mr. Congressman wants to express?"
"That's right." Plott said meaningfully, "It just so happens that there is such a card-making master in our country who has mastered the power of space."
"You mean Master Gu?" Teacher Tony suddenly wanted to laugh.
If Mr. Gu, the world's number one card maker, takes Dayang State Councilor Plot to court for defamation, who will win?
It should be Master Gu, right?
That scene must be particularly interesting.
Plott: "You think it's not him?"
"No." Teacher Tony said bluntly, "Unless Mr. Congressman can produce enough evidence to prove that Master Gu is related to this case, it is impossible for me to arrest people with the power of space alone."
This power of space is just speculation, and the robbers may not really teleport in.
The security of the Aegis system is indeed very high, but this does not mean that it cannot be breached.
What if there is a mole?
Besides, even if it is really the power of space, there is no way to tell that it is Master Gu.
There are very few card makers in this world who have mastered the rules of space, but not so few that only Master Gu is the only one.
It's not that Tony is partial to anyone, it's that evidence is required when handling a case.
Occasionally someone will sell teleportation cards on the International Master website, so will he arrest all the sellers and torture them one by one?
"Don't you think it's too coincidental?" Plot mentioned the matter of Kaito Gx, "When they were in the East, Kaito Gx was in the East, and they came to Dayang Country, and Kaito Gx also appeared in Dayang Country. First
This case happened in Angeles City. As a senior FBI agent, your sense of smell should be sharper than mine."
Tony asked back: "If you were, would you steal the card you made?"
Plott: "What do you mean?"
Teacher Tony: "I asked someone about the case that Phantom Thief GX did in the East. The first time they tried to steal was Master Gu's card. The wax figure of Master Gu that was just made by Grammy a few days ago was also stolen.
Rather than saying that Kaitou GX is Master Gu, it would be better to say that they are fans of Master Gu."
"Moreover, the Phantom Thief GX does not kill people, which conflicts with Mr. Congressman's previous judgment." Tony said, "Master Gu may be a participant in this case, or he may be a member of the Phantom Thief GX, but it is absolutely impossible to be both.
Yes... there's something you don't know, Mr. Congressman, I came here after chasing the monster thief GX."
No warning letter was found in the experimental park. Assuming that Phantom Thief GX wanted to commit the crime secretly, why would they be lured here?
Plott: "What if they hit a counter logic?"
"You're right." Tony didn't want to argue with Plott anymore, so he simply threw his handcuff card to him.
Plott: "?"
Tony: "Don't you think Master Gu is very suspicious? You can catch him yourself."
Plot: "..."
Seeing that the congressman was embarrassed, the police officer on the side wanted to laugh but did not dare to.
Tony really didn't want to discuss the case with a layman like Plott.
Why do you want to blame Kaitou GX?
If counter-logic can be established, is it still called counter-logic?
In Tony's view, counter-logic is simply a kind of pseudo-logic.
All irrational things can be explained by counter-logic.
Instead, be more confident. The whole world is a suspect in this case.
Because they seem impossible, they are most likely.
Is this how the case was handled?
You can use counter-logic to doubt others and look for clues, but this can never be used as evidence to interrogate and arrest people.
Tony even wondered if the wife of this short-haired congressman was also a Gu fan. Otherwise, why would Plot target Master Gu so much?
Plott's face grew colder and he threw the handcuff card back to Tony: "I've already reminded you of the things that should be reminded. It's your FBI's own business to investigate or not. If you can't arrest someone after a while, I won't be the unlucky one."
Mr. Congressman snorted, turned around and walked out of the laboratory.
None of the three people noticed that the camera in the corner was always facing them, with the red light on.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and Plott came out of the experimental building, got into his private limousine, and disappeared into the night.
Tony watched Plott leave, picked up his cell phone and dialed a number: "Help me check this license plate number's itinerary tonight."
Until the end, Plott did not explain why he was so sure that all the researchers in the experimental park were dead.
It also didn’t explain what the experimental project was.
There was no explanation as to why he appeared here tonight.
There is no problem with the fact that the experimental park belongs to Plot, but even the boss should not know that something is going on here before the police.
When faced with a life-threatening situation, researchers do not think of calling the police, but rather notify their boss first.
Is this a serious researcher?
Why is it so similar to the reaction of the employees at the Foot Washing City who were involved in the anti-pornography campaign?
If Plott has monitoring of the laboratory at home because the project is too valuable, then his first reaction should be to call the local police station for rescue instead of running over by himself, unless...
Unless this project is obscure.
Plot didn't want his experimental project to be discovered, but it was very important, so he chose to go there himself to confirm the situation.
I just didn't expect that the FBI happened to be here too.
Mr. Congressman may have thought that since he did not explain himself, he looked very confident, and with his status as a Congressman, others would not doubt him.
Isn't it contrary to logic?
Then I'll use your counter-logic to check you.
Teacher Tony lit a cigarette, his eyes shining with wisdom.
His intuition told him that there must be something wrong with Plott.
And it's a big problem.
