Chapter 1055 - 1055

"It doesn't make sense."

Elbert Rivers and Heath Woods shook their heads almost simultaneously.

After a pause, Heath Woods said, "Since it doesn't make sense, Dirk Carter must have a purpose for doing this. What is his purpose?"

Dirk Carter pondered for a moment.

He said, "Now that the police have issued a warrant for him, escaping has become very difficult. This presents two possibilities. The first possibility is that someone wants him to do this. Once successful, they assist him in fleeing or in silencing a witness. There's also a second possibility, which is to lure the tiger away from the mountain—"

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain? What do you mean?"

Heath Woods asked.

Dirk Carter replied, "We've officially launched an investigation into the Polly Linden case, led by us, the Disciplinary Commission, with the police. Regardless of who this so-called big leader is, they're already getting nervous. So, it's possible they're drawing us away, and then..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Elbert Rivers interjected, "Targeting the informant!"

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "Yes, exactly to target the informant. If this so-called big leader truly exists, then the only one who knows their identity is Brent Lowell. Eliminating Brent Lowell would ensure that the big leader involved in Polly Linden's death would never be exposed."

"Makes sense! Both possibilities exist."

Heath Woods said with narrowed eyes.

Elbert Rivers nodded and said, "Since we know Dirk Carter has bad intentions, we simply don't need to pay attention to him."

"No, I have to go!"

Dirk Carter said.

Heath Woods opened his mouth wide in disbelief and asked, "Leader, you know there's deception involved, so why still go?"

Dirk Carter's lips curled into a slight smile as he said, "It's simple. Only if I go can this plan be realized, and then the person can move against Brent Lowell..."

At this point.

Dirk Carter lowered his voice.

He softly explained his plan to Heath Woods and Elbert Rivers.

After they listened.

They suddenly understood.

Elbert Rivers said, "Leader, I'll accompany you to the market. That way, I can guarantee your safety. As for the base, having Director Woods there will suffice."

"Yes, leader, rest assured. No matter who makes a move, I will not let them get away."

Heath Woods said.

Dirk Carter waved his hand.

He said, "No need, I'll handle the market myself. Both of you follow my plan, wait until the critical moment to act, capture the culprit, and ensure Brent Lowell remains unharmed. With you two in charge of this, I can be more at ease..."

"But..."

Elbert Rivers wanted to say something more.

He was stopped by Dirk Carter's wave.

"Follow orders!"

With these four words spoken.

The two exchanged a glance and could no longer insist.

Around eight o'clock at night.

Three vehicles from the Disciplinary Commission drove out of the base.

Dirk Carter and the driver were in the first car.

The second car carried Elbert Rivers, Heath Woods, and others.

The last car held investigators from the Disciplinary Commission.

This operation involved over a dozen people, leaving the safety of the base to the Disciplinary Commission and Public Security Bureau of Greshire County.

The reason for doing so.

Dirk Carter intended to beat them at their own game.

The opponent's mindset was not difficult to anticipate.

Dirk Carter would never go to the market alone; he would surely bring people to ensure his safety, while also capturing Farrell Lowell.

This way.

The base would be left vulnerable.

At least the overseeing team's "eyes" would be reduced.

Trying to do something would become much easier.

As expected.

Just as the three vehicles left the gate.

A pair of eyes behind the curtain of a window on the second floor of the base kept a close watch on the three cars' movements. Only after they drove in the direction of Majestic Peak Town did he pull out his phone and dial a number.

Once the call connected.

He whispered, "Execute everything according to plan."

After saying those words, he hung up the phone.

After the three cars left the city center of Greshire County.

They immediately got on the highway.

A toll collector who saw the three cars also made a call similar in content to the previous one.

About a dozen minutes later.

The three cars simultaneously entered a service area.

People in the rear two cars quickly got out, switched to two different vehicles, and left through the employee passage at the rear of the service area, heading back to the county town.

As for the two empty cars, they were filled with another group of people.

They followed behind Dirk Carter's vehicle and continued on the previous route.

This time, the speed of the three cars was very fast, aiming to make up for the three minutes wasted at the service area, so that no suspicions would arise at the Majestic Peak Town highway exit.

The three cars arrived on time at the Majestic Peak Town highway exit.

After paying and leaving.

A toll collector picked up the phone again and said after dialing, "The three vehicles have exited on time."

The person on the other end of the phone, hearing this, showed a confident, sinister smile.

In their view, the entire plan had been considered successful.

At eight fifty.

Dirk Carter drove alone, coming to a slow stop beside the abandoned market in Majestic Peak Town.

Since this place had been deserted for a long time.

The surroundings were engulfed in darkness.

Making one's hair stand on end.

Dirk Carter didn't rush to get out of the car.

Instead, he lit a cigarette, and by the time it was finished, the time was about right.

Discarding the cigarette butt.

He unhurriedly opened the door and walked towards the market.

By this time, his eyes had adjusted to the dark.

In the dim and damp environment, surrounded by cement stands once used by vendors, the ground occasionally bore a stinking ditch, and the wind blew in from all directions, producing a sound like a pipa playing.

Upon reaching the middle.

Dirk Carter stopped walking.

He glanced around.

Called out loudly, "Come out, Farrell Lowell, I know it was you who called me. There's no need to hide, I'm already here..."

About ten meters away from Dirk Carter, a beam from a powerful flashlight suddenly shot out, directly at his eyes. For a moment, Dirk Carter was somewhat dazed and instinctively used his hand to block his eyes.

In the next instant.

He sensed a whooshing sound by his ear.

Dirk Carter instinctively crouched down.

A clang sounded, as a water pipe struck the stone pillar next to him.

At the very moment he crouched.

Dirk Carter saw three or four people charging at him.

He pushed forcefully with his legs, leaping backward slightly, temporarily breaking free from the encirclement.

Four people lunged in vain, then swung their pipes again, closing in on Dirk Carter.

Retreating was no longer an option.

Dirk Carter leaped onto a cement stand, then propelled himself up, bending his knee, crashing towards the face of the person at the front.

With a thud.

The individual was knocked over completely.

As he fell flat,

Dirk Carter seized his wrist, snatching the pipe from him.
