The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 311 General Election

In Hill's view, Ling Xiao didn't really realize the value of these potions. If these potions could really treat nuclear radiation, their economic value would be in the hundreds of millions.Of course, the scarcity of production is one of the obstacles restricting the mature development of this drug. If the drug manufacturers in the world know the existence of this thing, I am afraid that Ling Xiao will be surrounded here.

But soon, Hill snuffed out this idea. If this kind of thing really happened, it also means that the internal problems of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be very serious.

"Also, you have to remember that the mouth of the bottle cannot be easily opened. Once opened, the medicine inside will easily evaporate. In addition, it must be stored in an environment of more than minus 30 degrees." Ling Xiao looked serious. To some of them warned.

"I see." Hill nodded lightly, rubbing the slightly cold mouth of the bottle with his hands, and then put it into the incubator provided by Ling Xiao.

"Here!" Before leaving, Ling Xiao dumped a bottle of diluted Renshui essence and gave it to Hill: "You can mix this with the mask, it will be very good for your skin, don't use it in the future It's an old-fashioned makeup, and you are not very old, why do you spoil yourself like this."

"You!" Ling Xiao made Hill speechless with anger, and all the worries in her mind disappeared in an instant. At this time, she wished that countless troubles would all come to Ling Xiao.

"Goodbye." Hill gritted his teeth and said two words, then left with a cold face, but she held the bottle of diluted Renshui essence tightly in her hand.

After Hill left, Ling Xiao's face slowly sank. Although today was just a transaction, everyone was testing each other with their own ghosts and each had their own goals, but in the general direction everyone was Only when they are consistent can a compromise be reached with each other.

Ling Xiao can actually buy a small private jet, but how can that kind of thing compare to the butterfly aircraft that S.H.I.E.L.D. can take off vertically.

The X-Men had a goose-shaped aircraft, and later the Avengers had a Kun-type aircraft. Ling Xiao wanted to have his own butterfly-shaped aircraft, which is not too much.Moreover, the stealth system must also be installed, and the internal electronic system must also be modified. Of course, these will trouble Stark.

After Hill left, Ling Xiao's life returned to calm again. The battle in Manhattan allowed Ling Xiao to gain a clear understanding of some changes after breaking through the innate realm. Some previous practice habits and fighting methods had to be adjusted. Even the magic circles arranged in pharmacies and villas have to be changed accordingly. After doing all this, Ling Xiao's ability to survive and fight has been greatly improved.

This year is a general election year, so the first stage of the US presidential election, that is, the primary election, has begun in January and will end in June. During this period, candidates from various parties will compete for the nomination of their party's presidential candidate.

Until July and August, the two major political parties of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party held conferences respectively to finally determine their candidates for the president and vice president of their own parties, and discuss and approve the presidential election platform.

The mayor of Los Angeles, Robert Wellington James, had publicly announced at the end of last year that he would run for president. With his qualifications, he will be one of the key figures in his party's presidential bid.Of course, his opponents are equally strong. In his own party alone, there are many strong opponents such as the governor of Massachusetts, congressional senators, and former senators. It is not easy to get the presidential nomination of his own party.

At the beginning of April, the preselection was already in full swing, but Beckett, who had been paying attention to these things, suddenly came to the door on this day and found Ling Xiao.

In the living room of the villa, Ling Xiao casually threw a can of iced Coke to Beckett, and then asked full of curiosity: "Catherine, you are not planning to do something to Mr. James right now, is it a bit early now? "

Beckett shook his head slightly, and said, "It's not that I want to do something to him, but that he himself is already in trouble."

It turned out that a few days ago, the Los Angeles Police Department received a case in which a woman named Laura was found dead in a car in a secluded alley.

The case was finally sent to Beckett. After investigation, they found that the car belonged to the city hall, and the person who finally used the car was Mayor Robert Wellington James.

Bettke took Richard to visit Mayor James personally, but James obviously didn't take this case seriously. Now he and his team are busy with campaign work, so after a few pleasantries, Send the two to his chief of staff.

Chief Shi's chief of staff obviously paid more attention to this case. He knew that once Chief Shi was involved in the murder investigation, his opponent would definitely set off a storm of public opinion about the "murderer". In the end, no matter how things developed, James Shi Long term will be quite negatively affected.So he did things very carefully, not only explaining the ins and outs of the car clearly, but even preparing many personal statements from relevant people in advance.

Of course, these things were made impeccably, but Beckett didn't believe any of them, and started his own investigation without even looking at them.

Knowing that Chief Shi was involved in the dispute over the murder case, many people began to say hello. Some insisted that Chief Shi be unable to commit crimes, while others demanded that Beckett should not be disturbed by any outside world. Handling the case impartially, various troubles came to the door one after another.

And this is only because the vehicle used in a murder case belonged to the city hall, and it happened that the person who used the vehicle on the record that day happened to be the chief himself.

The truth of the facts is still unknown, and there is even no real evidence that the chief may be suspected. Just because of this, so many people pay attention, that is, it is now during the general election period, otherwise there are not many people asking about this kind of thing.

Laura Cambridge, this woman whom neither the chief nor his subordinates claimed to know, after Beckett's investigation, her identity gradually surfaced.

Half a year ago, Laura Cambridge used to be a professor at City University of Los Angeles. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, this rising star in the university resigned inexplicably. Afterwards, her friends and colleagues also All lost contact with her.

Not only that, but she also canceled her cell phone and credit cards, and all the police could find were paychecks from fast food restaurants, laundromats, and office cleaning companies, as if she couldn't hold a job for long.

Afterwards, Beckett and the others found Laura's residence. After searching, they found that there were no valuable clues inside. Instead, they learned from the landlord that there was indeed a man who left here last night. He was Caucasian, six Foot tall, with long dark hair, around the time Laura was killed.

For such a man, Laura's sister said that she had never heard her sister talk about this man, and her sister did not have any boyfriends or partners.

The relationship between the two sisters had been very good before, but just half a year ago, Laura began to rarely call her sister, and her life was also out of track. She gave up her teaching career and moved from an apartment on the Upper West Side to the one she lives in now. In tenements.

For all this, Laura finally called her sister three days ago.On the other end of the phone, she was a little depressed, saying that she was in some kind of trouble because of work, but she just said it was too dangerous to tell her sister what it was.

After an afternoon of investigation, this so-called mysterious job was finally found out.The place where Laura works turned out to be a porn phone, and there, they also found out the real reason why Laura was in danger: Laura heard something from one of her clients that she should not know.

As more and more people paid attention to this case, and the police investigation became smoother and smoother, they finally found the reason why Laura changed half a year ago: in order to write a novel that reflected some injustices in today's society, Laura La quit her original job to experience the life of poor people.

Earlier, Laura had told the editor she had discovered a scandal involving a prominent figure, the Mayor of Los Angeles.

At the same time, the forensic doctor found a trace of clothing fibers in Laura's mouth, which was also confirmed to be consistent with the jacket worn by Chief James last night. Everything proved that Chief James lied.
