Chapter 68 Can’t sit still and wait for death (310)
Piltover, Parliament House.
Marcos, dressed neatly and holding documents, walked into the door led by other law enforcement officers.
As soon as he entered, Marcos received several looks of attention.
The members' eyes fell on him, which made his heart tremble subconsciously, but then, Marcos raised his head, calmly walked to the empty space in the middle of the table, and stood there under the attention of the members.
"After investigation, what Zu An did in the past two days is as follows -"
Marcus opened the document at hand, which was densely written about the recent events in Zaun.
"They removed wastewater pipes without permission and repaired and blocked them, which will cause problems with future wastewater discharges in Piltover."
As soon as Marcos finished saying the first thing, some congressmen made their voices heard.
"What? Repair wastewater pipes, how dare they?"
Polpok buzzed and said, his mechanical face showing no expression at all, but the dissatisfaction in his tone was very strong. He continued: "Changing the pipeline without permission, those Zaun people's Do you still have us in your eyes? ”
Mel frowned after hearing this.
She wanted to ask Polpok, why do the Zaun people want us in their eyes?
Mel came to Piltover after the pipeline was built. To put it bluntly, she actually felt that this behavior of Piltover was wrong, because it was indeed convenient for Piltover, but it also seriously harmed Piltover. Regarding Zu An’s interests, isn’t it a matter of course that people hate you now?
You can't say that you slapped someone and they didn't dare to slap you back, but you're not even allowed to hate you privately, right?
Even Noxus is not that domineering.
But Mel also enjoys the convenience brought by this "ancestor". Therefore, Mel has no position to accuse other congressmen.
No. It should be said that the congressmen here are all vested interests. After all, the pipeline was established a hundred years ago, not just in their generation.
"They are really becoming more and more unruly!"
A voice sounded, it was Salo, he said with resentment.
Marcus turned a blind eye to this and continued:
"The second thing is, Zu An set up a checkpoint in the dance corridor"
"What the hell?" Sarao screamed.
Marcos replied: "The checkpoint is just like the one we set up on the bridge, but it is us Piltover people who are being checked. Starting from yesterday, Zaun allows Piltover people to go to the middle square, but the prerequisite is to verify the identity. , and state the reason for going to Zaun.”
"Go to hell!" Salo scolded him directly and stood up rudely. He looked at the other congressmen and said loudly: "Did you hear it? Did you all hear it?"
"How many days have it been? How many days have passed!"
"Do they think that if they defeat us once on their territory, they will be able to become the masters? No, everyone, when will we be reduced to just looking at their eyes and acting?"
Salo continued: "In the past generations of Piltover, when members of parliament were in power, nothing like this has ever happened!"
"Saro, please calm down." Mel couldn't help but said. "Calm down? Congressman Mel, how do you want me to calm down? What do they want to do now? Do they want to rebel? Do they want autonomy? I will not allow this! This kind of thing must not happen when I am in office. Period! I can’t afford to lose this person!”
"Congressman Salo, please sit down. We are in a meeting now. Please show due respect to the meeting, because this is also respecting yourself." Jess looked at Salo and said.
Salo hesitated for a moment, then sat down angrily, but when he sat down, he reached out and hit the table hard to express his dissatisfaction.
Marcus pretended not to see this, and at Jess’s signal, he continued:
"The third thing is Silko, that is, the man behind all this, the actual controller of Zaun. But in fact, our investigation results are wrong, because the derivation and manufacturing of all this The person in question is not Silko, but the boss of the Lianhua Gang, Li Ke.”
"I have never heard of this name." Councilor Hoskal said with a frown.
I have heard the name Hilko before. He is a well-known industrialist in Zaun. He has business dealings with many people in the upper city, and the names of some alchemy barons are also known to the congressmen.
But, Li Ke?
They really don't know the name.
Marcos explained: "He is a new gang leader in Zaun. In just two months, he has conquered many areas and now owns half of the black alley, the largest community in Zaun. It’s all his already.”
"Chief Marcus, I have reason to suspect that you have neglected your duty. Why didn't we know about something like this before?" Salo looked unhappy.
Marcos did not refute, but said: "Because of Hilko, the Lianhua Gang was established two months ago, but it should have officially gathered the community and become the largest gang in Zaun two weeks ago. , that is to say, they did it within half a month.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"Silko pushed for it and prohibited his own people from telling the outside world about the situation in the dark alley. Members of Congress are all well aware that our law enforcement officers do not dare to go to the dark alley unless necessary." Marcos said calmly. Said, "Li Ke must be Hilko's heir and has inherited Hilko's status."
"In other words, he is our enemy?"
"Chief Marcus, do you have any relevant information and photos about him?"
Marcus shook his head.
Strangely enough, Piltover really didn't know anything about Li Ke. The only information that could be found now was his gender and birth.
He is male and is a Zaun native born in the Black Alley.
Yes, there was only these brief information, which was so brief that it was a bit scary. They didn't even know each other's age.
"Let's stop for a moment. We will start the second meeting later. During this period, everyone should calm down and think about how to deal with Zaun's problem." Jace reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling very irritated.
Now the fact that Victor's life is in danger is weighing on him. This burden alone has made him breathless. And when he became a councilor, the Zaun rebellion happened again. Jace is now Really annoying!
He said: "During the pause in the meeting, Chief Marcus, I hope you can find a photo of Li Ke." Jess looked at Marcus and said seriously:
"If our law enforcement officers can't even figure out who our current enemy is, and can't even get a photo of the enemy, then I really think it's necessary for the Law Enforcement Bureau to conduct a large-scale rectification.
Piltover gives you so much money every year and allows law enforcement officers to enjoy such treatment, so that you can protect Piltover with all your heart and not neglect your duties. ”
Marcus looked at Jess, nodded and said, "I understand, Senator Tallis, I promise I will do it."
"Okay, let's all disperse first." Jace lowered his head and waved his hand.
The congressmen present looked at him, some showed displeasure, others nodded, but Mel's eyes were full of concern and worry.
