Chapter 379: After all, it’s just one move away, little Lanmao

In the blink of an eye, the end of November is coming.

Three days have passed since the last Gian Arem concert, and the last performance of this month will be held tomorrow.

Many people have expectations for this, but Piltover's gears are still turning as before.

Near the pier, ships are constantly coming and going, and large ships carrying cargo depart from this city at the center of the world to various places.

But today’s dock is anything but ordinary.

In the afternoon.

There was a "boom" and a huge explosion, alarming everyone near the dock.

Everyone looked towards the place where the movement came from, and were shocked to find that huge black smoke was slowly rising, and multiple figures were moving quickly through the black smoke.

Several people wearing cloaks and masks, riding skateboards that can float in the air, nimbly dodged in the black smoke, and seemed to be fighting another group of people.

"Bang bang bang!" The gunshots couldn't stop spreading, and people in the surrounding area hurriedly fled.

Soon, Piltover's law enforcement officers began to intervene in this inexplicable dispute!

A large number of Piltover law enforcement officers came quickly on bicycles and quickly surrounded the cargo ship that was fighting.

When those people with masks saw this scene, they quickly flew away in unison.

"What's going on here?"

Caitlin happened to be nearby. She originally wanted to come to the dock to purchase some gun training props, but she quickly ran over after hearing the noise.

She saw that several figures in the sky had moved away.

"I don't know. It seems that two groups of people were fighting. One group of people escaped and the other group remained."

A law enforcement officer saw Caitlin wearing her senior title and reported it truthfully.

Caitlin glanced at the ship and saw that the law enforcement officers had detained many people.

"Suspicious items were found on the ship and we suspect smuggling."

"Bring all these people back first, no one can escape!"

Listening to the conversation of the law enforcement officers, Caitlin looked around.

At this time, many melon-eating spectators gathered around her. She glanced sharply and suddenly saw a suspicious-looking guy in a cloak behind the crowd.

So Caitlin quietly approached him, and the other person's intuition was also extremely sharp, and it seemed that he had noticed her approaching.

The next second, he ran away.

"Don't run!"

Caitlin immediately stopped covering up and chased out with a quick stride.

Recently, while training with Quinn, her physical fitness has also improved a lot, and there has been an obvious improvement.

But even so, there is still a distance between the two sides, making it difficult to chase.

Caitlin watched the man turn into an alley, and then followed him in vigilantly. However, except for a cloak hanging on an iron pole, there was no trace of the man.

Caitlin let out a somewhat discouraged breath, walked to the cloak, stretched out her hand and pulled it off to inspect it.

But he saw something fall from the cloak to the ground, making a crisp "ding" sound.

Bending down to pick it up, she immediately froze on the spot.

This is a badge, and on top of the badge, there is a simple symbol - "C".

In an instant, multiple memories flashed back in Caitlin's mind, causing her to clenched her fists involuntarily, holding the badge tightly in her palms, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Downtown area.

In Hilko's office.

Sevika opened the door with a not-so-good look on her face and said solemnly, "Something happened."

"What happened?" Hilko looked at her.

"Our smuggling ship was intercepted by Piltover, all because of the trouble caused by that damn Wildfire Gang. They have caused us a lot of trouble these days!"

Sevika clenched her right hand into a fist, her eyes filled with anger.

Hearing this, Hilko also frowned slightly: "Have you not investigated this Wildfire Gang yet?"

"No." Sevika sat on the sofa and said with an unhappy expression, "These rats can hide better than the other, and they are coming towards us."

At this time, Hilko couldn't help but think about it and think of countermeasures.

At this time, Seweka said again: "The problem now is that Big Guy and the others were all stolen, and those Picheng guys were directly convicted and sent to Stillwater Prison."

Hilko frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.

After all, it was Stillwater Prison, known as the prison least likely to be escaped, and was managed by the Piltover Law Enforcement Department.

The most important thing is that the warden of Jingshui Prison is also very strict. There is no possibility of bribery, and he cannot use any means to fish out his captured men.

At most, by throwing money at it, you can make your subordinates live more comfortably there.

"The maximum sentence for smuggling is five years. If you have a chance, send someone to meet them and tell them that I will help them deal with the outside world."

After thinking about it, Hilko could only say this.

With his current status, it is rare for him to encounter such a thing.

The reason why he dared to do such blatant smuggling was naturally because he also took care of it in Pi City.

The pockets of every official, big and small, contain his money.

However, now, because of the Wildfire Gang's troubles, the smuggling issue has been brought to light, and Piltover must deal with it.

Otherwise, it would be an impact on the entire Sun Gate navigation trade.

Precisely because he thought about this clearly, Hilko felt quite helpless.

All he can do now is help his subordinates deal with outside matters.

"I see."

Sevika nodded, knowing that this was the only way to go.

Hilko thought for a while and said: "The business at the dock has been slowed down recently. There is no need for us to take this risk. We will wait until the Wildfire Gang is dealt with before resuming."

If not, the Wildfire Gang will definitely cause trouble again.

He had a hunch that this Wildfire Gang must have a background, or there would be someone capable to help.

"Um."

Sevika nodded again and left quickly.

Another place in the lower city.

Carroll and Dames sat opposite each other. Dames was the first to ask: "Has Mr. C's new instructions come down?"

"Not bad." Carol nodded slightly and said, "We can act in advance."

Damus' eyes flashed: "Is it because of the Wildfire Gang?"

Carroll said with a smile on his face: "Yes, even I didn't expect that such a qualified 'ally' would pop up during this period."

Damus also smiled after hearing this: "If it weren't for them, we would still have to be careful about Hilko's spy. Now, they have attracted all of Hilko's attention."

The two looked at each other and smiled, both feeling that this was an extremely ripe time.

Naturally, they were not idle and did a lot of small things secretly.

But because of the emergence of the mysterious force known as the Wildfire Gang, all their little moves were covered up.

Should I say it or not, this is truly a qualified ‘teammate’.

Dams said: "I really didn't expect that they would dare to take action so directly. It saved us some effort, but your arrangement was also in vain."

Carol said calmly: "It doesn't matter, we can start directly now."

Dusk falls and night slowly falls.

Uptown.

Piltover Law Enforcement Department.

"I applied to see these prisoners. I have something to ask them!"

Caitlin said to the law enforcement officer in front of her.

Upon hearing this, the chief law enforcement official replied while processing the documents at hand: "These prisoners have already obtained all the stolen goods, and they insist that they are the masterminds. According to Pi City law, there is no need for interrogation."

Caitlin immediately said: "I have something else to ask them."

She knew in her heart that although the young lady in front of her was wearing the uniform of a law enforcement officer, she was the daughter of a congressman after all.

The chief law enforcement officer raised his head patiently and said, "You are too late. These prisoners confessed their crimes very simply. After the judge finished the trial in court, they were sent to Jingshui Prison."

Upon hearing this, Caitlin was slightly stunned, turned around and was about to leave.

Judge Zha kindly reminded: "Jingshui Prison no longer allows visits after nine o'clock. If you want to go, you have to wait until after nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"I know." Caitlin responded, opened the door and walked out.

Her expression was a little heavy, and after she spread her hands, there was the badge engraved with the symbol "C".

No matter what, I must investigate the origin of this badge.

He looked up at the clock on the wall and saw it was just past seven.

Even taking a speedboat to Stillwater Prison would take at least two hours, and by then it would already be past nine o'clock.

Jingshui Prison pays great attention to the rules in this area. If you miss the time, you will not be able to visit the prison.

She couldn't help but sigh, knowing that she could only drop this matter for the time being.

In this way, Caitlin returned to the training base with worries.

In the training room, Lux, Jinx, Seraphine, Orianna and Sona are practicing for tomorrow's performance.

Everyone seems to be tireless and enjoying themselves.

It has to be said that the tacit understanding between the five of them has become more and more skillful recently, and even the performances during practice have been very effective.

After hearing this, Caitlin felt her depression temporarily relieved a lot.

She sat on the sofa in the lounge, looking at the badge, somewhat lost in thought.

Many memories flashed through my mind at once, and that was already ten years ago.

Because of her parents' power, Caitlin received a high-end education since she was a child, and she did not live up to this treatment.

He showed his extraordinary intelligence and extraordinary eyesight at a very young age.

In addition to the aristocratic education she usually receives, she prefers to hunt in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city.

Since then, she has consistently occupied the first place in hunting competitions for her age group and even beyond.

Her mother holds an important position, and her father is a famous inventor with extraordinary designs for firearms.

She likes this beautiful city and the orderliness here. I thought she would grow up peacefully like this until she found a hobby and devoted her energy to it as an adult or before she became an adult.

Until the Evolution Day of that year, bad luck suddenly struck.

Caitlin returned from hunting, only to find that her home had been looted. What's more serious is that all the servants were brutally killed, and her parents disappeared without a trace.

The young Caitlin was not frightened when she saw this scene. She immediately called someone and informed the law enforcement officer of the incident.

Then she quickly started tracking, which she was good at. Tracking traces in the streets and alleys of the city was completely different from hunting in the wild. However, Caitlin still used her keen intuition and extraordinary judgment to find the people who broke into her home one by one. .

In this way, she cooperated with the law enforcement officer and finally found a secret cabin.

Her parents were being tortured there, but fortunately their lives were not in danger.

Although she was very calm when dealing with things, this incident still caused a big blow to Caitlin. For a period of time later, every time she closed her eyes, the images of the tragic death of the servant and the abused parents flashed through her eyes. .

And among all the kidnappers who were arrested, no one knew the true identity of their employer.

They were hired to kidnap Caitlin's parents, hoping to uncover secret information about Piltover and the production plans for a new generation of firearms.

The kidnappers only knew that it was a middleman whose initials was "C", and this person was also known as the mysterious "C".

This incident affected Caitlin thereafter, and she decided to become a detective. Sooner or later, she would uncover the true identity of this mysterious "C".

However, her mother Cassandra also discovered her outstanding abilities and decided to train her to become an excellent law enforcement officer.

Therefore, after becoming an adult, Caitlin was directly placed into the ranks of law enforcement officers.

After recovering from her memory, Caitlin glanced at the badge in her hand again.

Now, this mysterious "C" appeared in her sight again. This time, she had to find out no matter what.

The current clue is the people who were arrested on the smuggling ship. Maybe they know the information about this mysterious "C".

Caitlin didn't want to pass up this opportunity, whether they knew it or not, she had to try and ask.

"dinner time!"

At this time, Lu Qi's shout came.

Caitlin stood up subconsciously and walked towards the restaurant.

Before the official action, it is also necessary to fill your stomach.

At the dinner table, everyone had a delicious dinner.

After finishing the meal, Lu Qi said: "Based on the current situation, it won't be long before we consider holding a performance in Zu'an."

After hearing this, several members of the band raised their heads and expressed that there was no problem.

Jinx was also quite excited, and she was looking forward to it when she thought that she would soon land in Zaun.

After the meal, the band did not continue training. After all, they were in good condition and there was no need to overtrain.

Full of fighting spirit, Jinx took out the backgammon she had practiced hard for many days, and looked at Lux provocatively: "I'm asking you if you dare to play a game!"

Lux chuckled: "I don't dare."

Jinx: "."

Wow.

This answer was something she never expected. She didn't expect this guy to shamelessly admit that he didn't dare!

Damn it.

This made her feel as if she had been holding back her ultimate move for ten thousand years, but finally failed.

Depressed and angry!

She gritted her teeth and looked at Lux who was smiling, and said unwillingly: "Have a plate!"

"Not coming."

"Just one plate!"

"Not coming."

"That's too bad of you. When you asked me to play, I played every game."

"Okay, okay, let's have a game with you."

Lux's shameless skills were still not fully mastered by Lu Qi, so she finally sat down and rolled her eyes again: "But I want to make the first move."

Jinx said indifferently: "Okay!"

Seeing this guy taking the bait, Lux showed a harmless smile on her face: "Let's play one game. Since there is only one game, let's just play the big one this time!"

Jinx, who was gearing up and extremely confident, snorted without thinking: "Come on, come on, I'm afraid you won't succeed! Tell me what kind of punishment you want."

"The loser will have to wash the winner's underwear for a year! In addition, ten brains will be broken and ten will be pimped! Do you dare to accept it?"

Lux raised her delicate chin and looked at the opposite side provocatively.

Faced with such a provocation, Jinx said directly: "Take it!"

She didn't think she would lose at all. After all, she had put in far more effort than ordinary people in so many days! I even asked many chess masters for advice!

She must win this set!

Not far away, Lu Qi, who was leisurely drinking tea, saw the girl taking the tea without any precautions. He couldn't help but sigh slightly, and there was a touch of pity in his eyes.

After all, there is still one move missing, little Lanmao.
