In fact, Nell had a vague image of the mayor in his memory, but the appearance was not clear. He Ao initially thought that the video was something that happened recently, and the mayor was a middle-aged man, so he didn't think about it in that direction.
Moreover, the current mayor and the supervisor in the video have completely different behavioral styles, one is gentle and the other is fierce.
At first glance, they seem to be two people.
But He Ao had already used Hyper-memory to quickly write down all the details in that video.
Therefore, he recognized the mayor at first sight as the supervisor of Mining Consortium who ordered the massacre of the miners.
The mayor was a senior manager of Mining Consortium at least ten years ago, which can be compared with the fact that he is now a powerful figure in Mining Consortium.
He Ao glanced at Old Foreman.
Locke is the son of Old Foreman.
Judging from that video, the mayor was somewhat dissatisfied with Locke when he was the supervisor.
Judging from the methods shown by the mayor, it is very likely that he forced Locke to death.
I just don't know if Old Foreman knows about this.
At this time He Ao also understood the meaning of Vincent's collection of this video.
This video is evidence of the mayor's violence. When the mayor took action against Vincent, Vincent was also collecting evidence against the mayor.
Although both of them work for Mining Consortium and are powerful people, they have their own hidden agendas.
Although this video cannot have a decisive impact on the mayor, it can severely damage the mayor's prestige when necessary.
Judging from the current situation, the mayor still has to maintain his "just" image, otherwise he would not have made such a speech through live video broadcast.
But what's interesting is that although there was applause during his live video, there was no audience.
In contrast, although Christos often encounters assassinations, he always stands in the center of the crowd and stands with the crowd that supports him.
Being able to be elected as mayor will have a certain level of support among the people no matter what.
And the mayor of Rock City obviously does not believe his supporters.
Extending from this point, the reason why Vincent was able to use the power of the entire consortium to block that video was also found.
Because this video also touches the interests of the mayor.
Vincent himself does not have enough ability to communicate with the communications consortium to block the videos and files stolen by Fifth Sister. His first thought must be to capture Fifth Sister and torture him to find out the whereabouts of the videos.
Judging from what He Ao has learned so far, Vincent did this in the early stage. Fifth Sister, Eldest Brother, and Second Sister all accepted his torture. However, Fifth Sister gave Vincent a wrong guide and pointed the target at a group of "desperados."
The desperado mentioned by Vincent is most likely Miners Mutual Aid Society.
I am Hero, and he is the enemy. From the perspective of Vincent, Miners Mutual Aid Society is really a group of desperadoes.
Vincent's attention was drawn to Miners Mutual Aid Society, and Fifth Sister bought the most critical period of time for Nell.
Nell himself didn't know that Fifth Sister was buying time for him with his life, but he still followed Yue En's advice and found Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In Fifth Sister's mind, he might have guided his younger brother to Federal Bureau of Investigation at the beginning. After all, the person most suitable to solve this matter was Federal Bureau of Investigation.
But neither brother nor sister expected that Federal Bureau of Investigation of Rock City had also been penetrated by Mining Consortium.
Looking back from now, the force that infiltrated Federal Bureau of Investigation should be the mayor's force, not Vincent's force.
With Nell handing over Storage Chip's copy to Federal Bureau of Investigation as a turning point, the Mining Consortium forces' attitude toward Nell (He Ao) changed from arresting and interrogating him to pursuing him.
It was probably Federal Bureau of Investigation who sent the video to the mayor. The mayor teamed up with Vincent to use all the power of Mining Consortium to block the spread of the video from the communication channels. Only then did he have the confidence to pursue He Ao regardless of Storage Chip in He Ao's hands.
Perhaps this incident also gave the mayor an excuse to persuade internal forces to eliminate Vincent.
But Vincent shouldn't be so careless,
Not wary at all.
Well, the two blocked the channel for video dissemination together, which may have given Vincent an illusion, making Vincent feel that in this matter, the two were temporary allies. No matter what conflicts there were, they should wait until the matter was over.
After all, if Vincent breaks the law at this time and spreads the video, the mayor will face a huge scandal and his authority will plummet.
But the most dangerous time is often when a person holds a sharp knife and can pose a huge threat.
The mayor did not tolerate this threat, so he set up a strategy to use Miners Mutual Aid Society's attack to kill Vincent's main force, and then let the ambushed City Defense Army kill Miners Mutual Aid Society, killing two birds with one stone.
At that time, nine Seraph type Mecha came. Not counting He Ao, Miners Mutual Aid Society only had Fourth Brother and one C-Rank Hell Apostle.
Even if Fourth Brother is a genius pilot, it is not worth the siege of nine Seraph Mechs.
What's more, there is also a C-Rank's "Hunter" Ranke mixed in it.
Although this guy has never taken a single move from He Ao, he is still unquestionably C-Rank.
Even if Vincent hides C-Rank's strength, he will definitely die under such a siege.
Therefore, in the "attack" last night, even without He Ao, Vincent would have died.
Miners Mutual Aid Society "Kills" Vincent, City Defense Army "Destroys" Miners Mutual Aid Society, this is the ending that has been decided.
The mayor may have already prepared a "memorial" manuscript for Vincent. This speech was arranged too quickly and too timely. Ten hours have not passed since last night's battle.
Perhaps using the attack of Miners Mutual Aid Society last night and the "death of Vincent" to hype up the threat of Miners Mutual Aid Society, and then obtain a legitimate reason to cleanse the miners, is also part of his plan.
Kill three birds with one stone.
Step by step, Interlocking Rings.
But he didn't expect that not only Vincent would die last night, but also the nine Seraph of the City Defense Army and Ranke of C-Rank would be destroyed last night.
The appearance of He Ao disrupted his plan, allowing the Miners Mutual Aid Society team that was supposed to die to survive.
But even so, his third step of the plan was still advancing as usual. He even keenly grasped the point of Ranke's death and tried to mobilize City Defense Army more radically.
Through these things, He Ao began to try to infer the mayor's character.
Rigorous, indifferent, bloodthirsty, with a strong desire for control, good at planning, will not be disrupted by sudden setbacks, and will even turn disadvantages into advantages.
The most important thing is that the arrangements he made were all "above and aboveboard" and seemed to be truly for the sake of righteousness.
Even if Vincent is solved, he will still borrow Miners Mutual Aid Society's hand and let Miners Mutual Aid Society take the blame.
He Ao recalled Nell's memory. Although Nell doesn't care much about politics, he Rock City Mayor Election is the biggest thing in the city after all.
Nell also has a vague impression of the current mayor of Rock City. This mayor has a very good "reputation" in Rock City. Most of his supporters elected him to office because they believe he is a "just" person.
Of course, the creation of this "righteous character" is also related to Mining Consortium's large-scale release of GG.
During the election, even Fourth Brother, who was completely apolitical, would casually mention this "just mayor candidate" to Nell when buying a tutorial for Nell.
It's not that he suddenly cared about Mayor Election, but that when he used Bracelet to swipe the short video of Hisi's blond hair and big waves, the candidate's GG often popped up. The more he swiped it, the more he naturally remembered it.
Although the mayor is elected by the people, the consortium decides which candidate appears in front of the voters.
However, since the more the mayor establishes such an upright persona, once the video of him leading the massacre of miners is exposed, the greater the impact will be on him.
In fact, the "just personality" in this kind of election is not easy to establish, and it is easy to be used to destroy the golden body.
What's more, the current mayor has a personality that has nothing to do with justice. He Ao feels that this guy may do everything except justice.
From this move, He Ao saw the confidence in this mayor, the kind of confidence and arrogance that controls everything and fools everyone.
He Ao's thoughts once again returned to the core issue. Is this mayor the culprit responsible for what the system calls "Rock City's frequent death cases"?
The surrounding environment fell into a brief silence. He Ao was thinking, and Old Foreman was also thinking.
Ivo???
Ivo looked at the people around him thinking, so he started pretending to think.
"Everyone,"
A somewhat gentle female voice came.
He Ao looked up and saw a young woman with wavy brown hair hanging down to her shoulders, a gentle smile, wearing a simple black and white maid outfit and black stockings with suspenders.
Black stockings have always been slim, but the legs that shrouded Maid Miss outlined a different kind of plumpness.
And the simple maid uniform couldn't hide her curvy figure.
He Ao glanced at Fourth Brother, only to see Ivo trying hard to move his gaze elsewhere, but it would always fall back to Maid Miss.
Especially on those slender and plump thighs wrapped in Black Silk garters.
Fourth Brother has never been able to resist Black Silk.
"Ms. Ilia Ann, please come over."
Maid Miss didn't seem to notice Ivo's gaze, and spoke slowly and gently.
"Did she specify who they were?"
He Ao asked softly.
"Everyone" is a very broad term.
Judging from the communication between Iliyan and He Ao last night, it seems that she has not communicated with other people in Miners Mutual Aid Society. She only contacted Old Foreman.
But this time Iliyan's invitation contains "everyone", which is an important word, which means that the rich woman behind Miners Mutual Aid Society seems to be ready to meet other people in Miners Mutual Aid Society.
"Ms. Ilia Ann just said that Old Foreman will determine the candidate."
Maid Miss pointed to the seat in the church, "I'll go and wait in the seat over there. After I decide on the candidate, I will take you to see Ms. Ilia Ann."
Everyone watched the maid leave, and He Ao looked at Old Foreman aside.
This is an important meeting and an opportunity.
In He Ao's analysis just now, an important issue was not mentioned, which is how the mayor "knows" Miners Mutual Aid Society's plan.
If Miners Mutual Aid Society's confidentiality mechanism is not very tight, there is only one other possibility: there is a mole in Mutual Aid Society.
Judging from the exchanges between He Ao and Old Foreman, Old Foreman is not stupid. He has been able to maintain Miners Mutual Aid Society's organization under the mayor's high pressure, and has never been found in the lair. Old Foreman should also have made many confidentiality arrangements.
Therefore, the most likely possibility is that Mutual Aid Society has a mole, and it is a very advanced mole who knows the core plan.
The problem now is that after this battle, the attack team from last night returned safely and speculated that the mayor might have borrowed a knife to kill.
Now the smarter people must have guessed the existence of the mole, and the mole must also know that his existence has been exposed.
Therefore, any meeting held now will Stir Up The Grass To Scare The Snake, causing the insider to make drastic actions, causing unpredictable consequences.
And Iliyan wants to meet Miners Mutual Aid Society's internal core personnel, which is just an excuse to call everyone for a meeting.
Find out who the mole is through this "Meeting with Iliyan".
When He Ao looked at Old Foreman, Old Foreman also looked at him.
Obviously, Old Foreman also thought of this layer.
But there is another possibility. This mole is smart enough and ran away overnight.
This is also the reason why Old Foreman didn't convene a meeting last night. First, because some core people are in the team and are still undergoing treatment. Second, it would be easy to Stir Up The Grass To Scare The Snake a sudden call last night, causing the insider to be frightened and run away.
When He Ao came over, he had already learned from the pharmacist that Old Foreman had directly covered up the news about the team's return last night without leaking any information.
He waited for the core staff of Mutual Aid Society to arrive at the church as usual in the morning to continue the meeting.
But it is also possible that the inner ghost learned about the battle last night from the City Defense Army and ran away directly.
However, the possibility of this situation is very low. The more tightly the mole hides, the more complicated the communication method with the mayor will be. It was so chaotic last night that it would be difficult to transmit information in a timely manner.
Along the way, He Ao was not only looking for Old Foreman, but also observing the environment around the church. At that time, he discovered that the church was surrounded by sentries, and everyone could not get in or out.
Obviously, these people were arranged by Old Foreman.
If a mole comes to a church for a meeting, he will definitely be surrounded inside and try to catch a turtle in a jar.
But even so, Old Foreman still needs a more legitimate reason to summon the people he suspects are moles. Because the identity of the mole is uncertain, Stir Up The Grass To Scare The Snake can easily allow the mole to hijack or attack innocent people around him.
Of course, no matter what, once the mole comes to the church, it is almost impossible to escape.
His only way to survive is that he is really smart and careful enough. Regardless of whether he is discovered or not, he will run away immediately after doing one thing and no longer think about the subsequent lurking things.
But since the other party has infiltrated the core of Miners Mutual Aid Society, the mayor has probably promised high benefits in order to bribe him, and these things are not so easy to give up.
Everyone knows that if they run away immediately, they will survive, but how can they give up their gold and silver treasures?
Let's bet, if Old Foreman doesn't discover the mole, he can still make money.
He Ao can almost imagine the inner ghost's thoughts, so he guessed that the inner ghost has probably come to the church now, uu read a book
If the other party is really smart and careful, he will never join a crazy organization like Miners Mutual Aid Society that carries hatred and openly challenges big conglomerates.
But he doesn't need to be involved in catching the mole. He's not even Miners Mutual Aid Society's person now. Catching the mole is Old Foreman's responsibility.
After looking at each other at He Ao, Old Foreman went to summon people.
Among these people, there must be a mole he suspected.
He Ao shook his head, not thinking about these things, but returned his thoughts to the mayor. After all, completing Main Mission is the most critical thing.
Although the mayor used the death of Ranke to strengthen the excuse for the purge.
But it is undeniable that the power of the City Defense Army, the part controlled by Mining Consortium, has been greatly weakened.
One C-Rank Transcendental, nine Seraph Mech, He Ao even suspected that Rock City Defense Army's mid-to-high-end combat power was directly destroyed by him.
But judging from the situation of Kaya City, B-Rank is mostly present among the City Defense Army of Rock City, and each B-Rank has a huge impact on the situation.
When I see Iliyan later, I might be able to ask for some information on the City Defense Army in a circumstantial way.
He Ao feels that City Defense Army may be an excellent breakthrough point.
While he was thinking, Old Foreman had already led several people over.
He Ao glanced at it. Among these people, he only knew the middle-aged man who gave him Flying Machine last night and saved him at a critical moment. He didn't know the other people.
However, when He Ao just came to look for Old Foreman, the young man he saw sneaking around in front of Old Foreman's room was also there.

I have been moving all day today. The sun is strong, the things are heavy, and my whole body is sore, so I have to do less. I will do more when I finish it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
