Not far from the luxurious villa of Councillor Bell, Reinhardt, Lin Yi and Ithaway Bonnie are dining on the top terrace of a high-end restaurant.
Reinhardt cut a steak and his eyes occasionally swept far away.
Lin Yi seemed more casual, and the knife and fork in his hand were easy to ease between his fingers.
His perception had already spread, and he could see all the actions of the Crow Squad.
As for Ithaway Bonnie, she is now focusing on the food in front of her, which is the only thing she cares about.
She forked up a piece of lamb chop that was roasted just right and stuffed it into her mouth. While chewing, she still complained: "Director Lin, the canteen of your sanatorium is really eye-opening. I even doubted whether those patients were reluctant to recover because the food was too bad."
Lin Yi raised his head and looked at her: "The food in the canteen is indeed mainly nutritional, and the taste is... it can only be said to be a side item. However, you can try it at the staff window next time, and the food there is not bad."
"Next time?" Ethaway Bonnie raised her eyebrows, "Do you think I will go to the canteen again? I would rather starve to death than go to your canteen again."
But Lin Yi did not take the blame, but just lowered his head and continued to enjoy his steak.
Reinhardt picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The mellow fragrance of the red wine spreads on the tip of his tongue.
"Director Lin, are you sure the Crow Squad can complete the task? Although they are professional, the villa of the congressman is not so easy to sneak into."
Since Su Xiao left, Reinhardt had to deal with a group of scheming guys every day, which made his thinking more meticulous and allowed him to lead the execution agency to survive in the muddy waters of the Zul Empire.
Lin Yi did not look up, and was still focused on cutting the steak on the plate. The sound of the knives and forks colliding was very crisp: "The confidence is not a question, but they are professional enough. Besides, we must get the secret of Congress Bell."
Ithaway Bonnie saw that Lin Yi stopped talking, so she turned to Reinhardt: "Reinhardt, what do you think Congress Bell is hiding? His recent actions are not like what an ordinary politician should have."
Reinhardt put down his wine glass, his eyes crossed the railings of the restaurant, and turned to the brightly lit villa in the distance.
"Who is the power behind it that can become a member of the parliament, which is a good and complicated one?"
"It would be great if it was just a ghost force. If it were afraid, there would be other forces involved."
In the Zuer Empire, although ghosts are a big trouble for the empire, this does not mean that there is only ghosts in the empire.
In addition to ghosts, there are also demons and monsters, and their existence is also terrifying.
Especially, demons, not only have extremely high IQ and talent, but every appearance will cause a disaster.
Fortunately, the way of birth of demons is extremely special and there are few, otherwise the Zur Empire would have been destroyed long ago under their shadow.
Just as the three of them were discussing what kind of force behind Congressman Bell, a blazing fireball suddenly cut through the night sky, attracting their sight in an instant.
The fireball was like a falling meteor, with a scorching breath, smashing hard to the ground, illuminating the door of the Bell Councilor's villa area.
Lin Yi's eyes looked along the trajectory of the fireball's flight and saw a contractor wearing a dark robe standing at the door of the villa area.
Over opposite him, Rudolf Auston was trying to evacuate with a severely injured Victor on his back.
But the opponent's attacks were as dense as a storm, and fireballs, ice cones, and lightning intertwined into a deadly net, which did not give the two of them any chance to breathe.
"Tsk, I wanted to have a good sleep, but I didn't expect to meet a group of mice."
The contractor is named Taxin, a fourth-level magician. After entering the Ghost Continent, he became a bodyguard for Congressman Bell by purchasing his identity. With this identity, he has already grasped many hidden secrets in the Zul Empire.
For Tsuxin, this identity is still crucial in a short period of time, and he needs to continue to dig deeper into the secrets of the empire.
Thus, he was so dedicated to serving Congressman Bell, even taking action personally against these "rats" who were trying to sneak in.
"It seems that I can't leave anymore." Victor Stewart's voice came into Rudolph's ears, causing his heart to sink suddenly.
He knew Victor so well, the man known as the "bomb maniac", once he said such words, it meant that he had made the final decision.
The next second, a deafening explosion ripped through the night sky, and the entire outer periphery of the Bell Councilor's villa area seemed to be slapped hard by a giant hand.
The fire rose into the sky, and the hot flames were like the tongue of a giant beast, greedily swallowing everything around them.
The violent shock wave spread wildly around the explosion point, with the explosion point as the center. Wherever it passes, the glass shatters, the walls collapse, and even the air is trembling.
Rudolph was directly blown away by this violent wave of air, and his body rolled in the air for several times, and fell heavily to the ground.
He forced himself to climb up from the ground and left the place. As for Victor, he was killed after being hit by the explosion.
As for the thorn, he had just used his body to withstand the biggest shock wave of the explosion.
If it weren't for this, Rudolph would never have survived this terrifying explosion.
The thrust robe was torn apart by the air waves, with a few blood marks on her face, and a trace of blood was overflowing from the corners of her mouth.
He gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Damn bastard, how dare you play this trick in front of me!"
He quickly raised his hand, and a ball of hot flames condensed from the top of the staff, staring at the direction where Rudolph escaped.
Just the moment he was about to pursue, a lightning suddenly fell from the sky, hitting his wrist like a punishment.
Tzuxin groaned, the staff came out of his hand, and the attack was interrupted.
Seeing this scene, Tsai Xin turned around and left on the spot without saying a word.
Thunder heart had a little guess inside, and something happened sooner or later to continue staying here.
On the roof, Reinhardt withdrew his right hand, and there was still a trace of lightning left on his fingertips.
Although the lurking of the Crow Squad failed, it was not important.
All he and Lin Yi need is an excuse, an excuse to enter the Bell Councilor's villa area just rightly.
And now, this excuse is in front of you.
"Captain of the Legion, the Third Battalion of the Execution Organ has been assembled." As soon as Reinhardt went downstairs, an officer in the uniform of the Execution Organ rushed forward and saluted him a standard military salute.
Behind the officer, two hundred fully armed members of the execution organ were on high alert. "Sir, the security forces have also gathered." An awakened person walked to Lin Yi and reported in a low voice.
There are not many people on Lin Yi's side, only about twenty people, but the members of the execution organs around him subconsciously kept a distance from them, with a little fear in their eyes.
They knew very well that although these awakened people were rare, if they really wanted to start, the people in the execution agency might not be able to last for five minutes.
Reinhardt stood in front of the execution organs: "Everyone, block the entire villa area, no one is allowed to enter or exit. The third battalion is divided into four groups, entering from east, west, south and north, and searching for all suspicious people and items. Remember, our goal is to invade the 'ghost ring remnants' of Councillor Bell, and capturing alive is preferred, but if there is any resistance, killing is not allowed."
"Yes, the commander of the legion!" The members of the execution organs responded in unison and quickly dispersed their actions according to the instructions.
At the same time, Lin Yi stood in front of the security forces and said lightly: "Your mission is very simple. To cooperate with the actions of the execution organs, make sure there are no fish that misses the net. Especially those 'rats' hidden in the dark, you cannot let go of any of them."
"Unders, Mr. Dean!" The awakened people of the security forces responded in unison, and then quickly dispersed and acted in concert with the members of the execution organs.
Ithaway Bonnie stood beside Lin Yi, holding an exquisite pistol in her hand: "Director Lin, do you think Councillor Bell will let us in obediently?"
"Of course he won't, but this time he can't help."
In fact, regardless of whether the invasion of the Crow Squad was successful or not, Lin Yi and Reinhardt had already made complete preparations.
If the Crow Squad succeed, they can naturally easily obtain the crimes of Member Bell; but if the Crow Squad fails, they will blame the attack on the escaped Ghost Ring forces, claiming that it was necessary to enter the villa area for a thorough investigation in order to ensure the safety of Member Bell.
You should know that the Ghost Ring Organization had previously assassinated two MPs with real power in succession, and the two MPs had only a lower status than Harold.
So, Lin Yi and Reinhardt's reasons are extremely sufficient, and even Councillor Bell cannot refuse it openly.
As for whether Congressman Bell will resist, that is not something Lin Yi needs to consider.
This is a naked plot, and even if Congressman Bell sees through it, he has no choice. In the villa area, the private armed forces of the Bell Councilor obviously realized the seriousness of the situation.
Faced with the double oppression of the execution organs and the awakened troops, their resistance seemed pale and powerless.
Members of the execution organ quickly broke through the outer defense line of the villa area, like a sharp knife, penetrated directly into the interior.
Lin Yi and Ithaway Bonnie soon arrived at the gate of the main building.
The door was closed, and several fully armed guards stood at the door. Their faces were nervous, and their hands holding weapons were trembling slightly. They obviously realized what kind of opponent they were facing.
Lin Yi did not talk nonsense, and directly raised his hand and waved his hand, and the awakened person behind him rushed up instantly.
In just a few seconds, all the guards at the door were disarmed and collapsed to the ground.
Pushing open the door, Lin Yi took Ithaway Bonnie and others into it.
In the hall of the main building, Councillor Bell was standing in the center, his face as gloomy as the sky before the storm.
Beside him were several bodyguards in black suits, holding weapons in their hands, obviously ready to fight to the death.
"Dean Lin, Reinhardt Legion, what do you mean?" Councillor Bell's voice was low, with a hint of depression.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
"Mr. Bell, we have received information that the 'Ghost Ring Remnants' has sneaked into your villa area. For your safety, we must conduct a comprehensive search."
Councillor Bell's face became even more gloomy. He sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "'Ghost Ring Remnants'? What evidence do you have? Without evidence, you dare to trek into my villa? You are blatantly disobeying the laws of the Empire!"
Reinhardt's voice came from outside the door: "We will naturally find the evidence. As for the law... in the face of the security of the Empire, the law is just a tool."
"Come, remember to 'protect' the safety of Councillor Bell. Now that the remnants of the Ghost Ring Remnants are not eliminated, the entire area may still be in danger." As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of fully armed soldiers rushed into the hall.
The soldiers walked straight to Councillor Bell, "helped" him without hesitation, and forced him to a room on the first floor. "Are you going to put me under house arrest?!" Congressman Bell's voice was filled with anger and disbelief, but his resistance seemed insignificant in front of the well-trained soldiers in the execution agency.
As for those private bodyguards? It is not worth mentioning in front of violent institutions like the execution organs.
Some bodyguards tried to resist just now, but before they could completely pull out their weapons, several soldiers from the execution agency had already pulled the trigger.
The gunshots sounded, and the bodyguards fell to the ground, blood staining the ground red.
The effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkey was immediately effective. The remaining bodyguards put down their weapons and raised their hands pale.
In the entire villa area, the armed forces of Councillor Bell were completely disintegrated in just a few minutes, and they all became prisoners of Lin Yi and Reinhardt.
Reinhardt stood in the center of the hall: "Everyone, act as planned. Search every room, every inch, and no suspicious clue can be left out. Especially the things related to the "Ghost Ring Remnants" must be found!"
"Yes, the commander of the Legion!" The soldiers of the execution organ responded in unison, quickly dispersed, and began a carpet-style search of the villa.
Every room and every corner are carefully checked, and even the floor and walls are not spared.
At the same time, Lin Yi took Ithaway Bonnie and several awakened people and walked straight towards the private study of Councillor Bell.
He knew that people like Councillor Bell, the most important secrets are often hidden in the most hidden places.
And the study room is undoubtedly the most likely hiding point.
The bookshelf in the study room is filled with various precious ancient books and artworks, and several precious oil paintings are hung on the wall, and the whole room is filled with a breath of bookish and power.
Lin Yi's eyes swept across the room quickly and finally stopped on the wall behind a huge desk.
There is a seemingly ordinary oil painting hanging there. The painting is a quiet rural landscape, with the sun shining on the fields, making it warm and peaceful.
However, Lin Yi's intuition told him that this painting was not simple.
"Bonnie, check that painting." Lin Yi whispered.
Ethaway Bonnie nodded and walked up to check it out carefully.
Her fingers gently stroked the frame, and suddenly, her fingertips touched a tiny bulge.
She pressed lightly, and a mechanical sound came from the wall. Then, the oil painting slowly moved away, revealing a hidden safe.
Ithaway Bonnie quickly took out the tool and began to try to crack the password of the safe.
A few minutes later, the safe made a light "click" sound and the door slowly opened.
Ethaway Bonnie's lips raised slightly, and she showed a smug smile: "Do it."
There are not many things inside, and there are no gold, silver and jewelry except for a few documents.
For those with the status of Councillor Bell, the so-called gold, silver and jewelry are completely no different from dirt.
Money has long lost its meaning to him, so naturally this kind of vulgar thing will not be stored in the safe.
Lin Yi reached out to take out the file and quickly flipped through it.
The contents in the document involve the action plan of the Ghost Ring Organization, the flow of funds, and the list of some senior personnel.
Lin Yi was originally planning to ask Reinhardt to prepare a few ghosts to pretend to be people from the Ghost Ring Organization, but now it should be unnecessary.
These documents of Councillor Bell are enough to be proof, even more detailed than they expected.
"You bring this thing with you, and I'll give it to Reinhart later." Lin Yi threw one of the documents to Ithaway Bonnie, with a hint of caution in his tone.
Ithaway Bonnie took the document, nodded, and quickly put it away.
Lin Yi picked up another document and his eyes stayed on the cover for a moment.
A strange rune was posted on the seal of this document. Lin Yi frowned and felt something was wrong in his heart, but he still opened the file bag.
Just the moment the document bag was opened, an inexplicable sense of danger suddenly surged into Lin Yi's heart.
Lin Yi almost instinctively threw the file bag out. The moment the file bag landed, a stream of black smoke suddenly gushed out of the bag.
The smoke spreads rapidly like a living thing. Wherever it passes, the file bags, carpets and even the floor begin to corrode at a speed visible to the naked eye, making a "sizzling" sound.
"Back back!" Lin Yi shouted softly, quickly pulled Ithaway Bonnie to take a few steps back, and at the same time raised his hand and waved it, a shield unfolded in front of the two, isolating the black smoke.
