Chapter 1057 - 1057:

Lane Quincy?

Hearing this name, even Dirk Carter shivered a bit.

It wasn't so much the surprise of Lane Quincy doing this, but rather because Dirk Carter had believed from the start that the person who wanted to act against him must be that "big leader" related to Polly Linden's disappearance.

Lane Quincy's photo had already been shown to the dancer who accompanied Polly Linden to the banquet that night.

Both women confirmed it wasn't Lane Quincy.

Could my initial assumptions all be wrong?

At this moment.

Dirk Carter's phone rang.

On the other end, Heath Woods's excited voice came: "Leader, we got the man, this side confessed, it was Lane Quincy who ordered it."

Dirk Carter's mind buzzed.

He froze on the spot.

If Lane Quincy had Farrell Lowell come to harm him, that was understandable, but why would he want to act against Brent Lowell?

Could it be the person causing Polly Linden's disappearance really is Lane Quincy?

No! Something still feels off!

I must return to the base immediately.

After all, Brent Lowell knows the truth, and under such circumstances, he can't possibly keep silent now.

What happened at the base?

It's just as Dirk Carter initially predicted.

This was indeed someone's scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Just as Dirk Carter got off the highway exit at Majestic Peak Town, something happened at the base.

Around 9:15 at night.

The base suddenly had a power outage.

This unexpected situation caught everyone off guard, and the base descended into chaos.

The two Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection cadre watching over Brent Lowell were at a loss, with one opening the door to take a look outside, at which time, someone emerged from the darkness.

The cadre instinctively asked: "Brother, what's happening?"

The shadow calmly replied: "No worries, it's just a trip, the power will be back soon, here, let me give you the flashlight."

At this moment, the cadre from the commission was just about to take the flashlight.

The shadow suddenly moved.

The flashlight in his hand smashed down hard on the cadre's head.

A muffled grunt.

The cadre fainted to the ground.

The inside cadre realized something was wrong.

He was about to close the door, but it was already too late, the shadow had jammed his foot against the door.

After a brief struggle between the two sides.

It was clear the shadow was stronger.

He forced the cadre to the ground and then struck his head several times with the flashlight, thus "solving" this cadre too.

Panting heavily, he stood up.

Seeing Brent Lowell already crouched fearfully in the corner.

"You... you... what do you want?"

Brent Lowell asked shakily.

The shadow was very calm.

First, he locked the door.

Then asked Brent Lowell: "Secretary Lowell, someone wants me to ask you, about the secret of that matter, you wouldn't divulge it, right?"

"No... I won't say anything, I definitely won't say anything..."

Brent Lowell wasn't dumb.

He already realized who had sent this person.

The shadow paused, then said: "That person said, in this world, no one is reliable, only dead men say nothing, Secretary Lowell, cooperate a bit, it won't be too painful."

While saying this.

The shadow kept busy.

He pulled out a rope from his clothes, threaded it through the ceiling fan, and tied a knot.

The intention was clear, he wanted to create the illusion of a hanging.

Seeing this, Brent Lowell also knew the end was near.

He wanted to resist, but shackled in handcuffs and leg irons, how could he be a match for this sturdy man?

Just as he prepared the hanging rope and started to move towards Brent Lowell, it was quick, they heard a bang, the door was kicked open.

Simultaneously.

Click.

The room lights came on.

"Don't move!"

A burst of warning sounded.

The shadow turned around, Heath Woods and Elbert Rivers, accompanied by commission investigators and some police, had rushed in and surrounded him.

Afterward, through identification investigation.

It was confirmed he was a police officer at the Greshire County Police Department.

Heath Woods immediately organized his interrogation.

The officer did not resist much.

He directly confessed that the person who directed him to do this was the Deputy Secretary Lane Quincy.

Around midnight.

The commission base had completed the interrogation of Farrell Lowell and this officer Cedric Stafford.

According to Farrell Lowell's confession, he said a middleman named Tom Cruise approached him, implying that if he took out Dirk Carter, Deputy Secretary Lane Quincy would arrange for his departure.

At the time, Farrell Lowell was worried about fleeing Silverwood City.

With Lane Quincy's promise, he was certainly willing to take the risk.

As for the car needed for the operation, it was also provided by Tom Cruise.

Cedric Stafford's situation was simpler to explain; he said he lost everything gambling, and Lane Quincy approached him, telling him to take out Brent Lowell, promising fifty thousand to pay his debts after the deed, tempted by profit, he chose to act.

Later verified by the police.

Cedric Stafford's account was indeed true.

He has a gambling addiction and indeed owed considerable money, his wife has been seeking a divorce.

The interrogation results of both seem to confirm certain facts.

The entire conspiracy was manipulated by Lane Quincy.

This result was explosive.

Dirk Carter is the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary, while Lane Quincy is the Deputy Secretary; although they are at the same level, Lane Quincy ranks higher, and of course, Dirk Carter couldn't act against Lane Quincy.

There was no choice but to report to Secretary Hadley Thorne.

Hadley Thorne found out about this at midnight, and surprisingly, he didn't sleep, telling Dirk Carter to wait as he was coming over.

Around one in the morning.

Hadley Thorne's number one City Committee car drove into the supervision group base.

Dirk Carter quickly stepped forward, helping Hadley Thorne open the car door.

As soon as Hadley Thorne got out of the car, before he could greet anyone, he grabbed Dirk Carter's hand, somewhat agitated, saying: "Comrade Dirk, you did a great job, I want to commend you, I want to commend you!"

"Secretary Thorne, I feel there's a problem with this matter."

Dirk Carter said worriedly.

He wanted to explain further.

Hadley Thorne interrupted him, saying: "On my way here, I've already reported to the State Committee, the group to arrest Lane Quincy has already set out, moreover, considering the safety of Comrade Brent Lowell, the City Committee decided his security work would temporarily be under Mountridge County Police Department, and the comrades from Mountridge County have already headed to Greshire County Hospital."

Hearing this.

Dirk Carter paused for a moment.

After Cedric Stafford's failed "assassination" attempt.

Brent Lowell was greatly startled.

According to regulations, he needed to be sent to the hospital immediately for examination.

Which means, at this time, Brent Lowell is at Greshire County Hospital.

Yet, why is his security being handled by Mountridge County Police Department?
