Chapter 1214 - 1214

"Cosimo is safely relocated," this sentence is not difficult to understand.

It refers to Cosimo Griffin having received the notification to leave.

"The whistleblowing message sent from Keegan's phone," what does this mean?

Dirk Carter looked at the police officer who had just poured water for him.

He was reporting something to Keegan Wright.

"Keegan," could it possibly refer to Keegan Wright?

Keegan Wright's phone had already been collected before entering the command center.

So how was the whistleblowing message sent from his phone?

Who is the person who slipped me the note?

Just as Dirk Carter was puzzled.

The radio reported: "Report to the command post, report to the command post, all teams are in position, requesting whether to proceed with the next action?"

Keegan Wright didn't hesitate at all.

Picked up the radio and shouted, "You may act!"

In multiple screens.

Each task force acted in unison, some stormed into Cosimo Griffin's Prosper Group, some into his villa, while several teams surrounded a few factories under his name.

To be honest.

The scale of this operation is quite large.

But this also shows that this supposedly long-planned investigation was actually launched on the spur of the moment, otherwise, they wouldn't have scattered to strike in this manner.

After entering the jurisdiction.

The police quickly commenced a search.

Their target was Cosimo Griffin; regarding other staff, no actions were taken.

About ten minutes later.

The command post received feedback from several teams.

They did not find Cosimo Griffin in their areas.

Shortly after.

News from the villa came too.

Cosimo Griffin is not at home.

There's only one place left, the headquarters building of Prosper Group.

After waiting for about seven or eight minutes.

The head responsible for searching the headquarters reported as well, and did not find Cosimo Griffin himself.

Including his wife and children, they're all missing too.

In the command post, Keegan Wright, upon hearing this answer, suddenly turned to look at Dirk Carter.

One must know.

Prior to this operation starting.

They had already put Cosimo Griffin on the watchlist.

Meaning, once Cosimo Griffin takes a train or plane, it will trigger alarms; moreover, several vehicles under his name were under tight police surveillance, if they travel on the road, they'd be immediately spotted.

Everything seems normal now.

There's only one possibility — someone tipped him off!

Seems like that's exactly the intended effect.

Keegan Wright was not the least bit flustered.

Raised the radio and said: "He must've received a notification and fled, immediate city-wide control, thoroughly check all passing vehicles, he can't get away."

At this moment.

He could almost be certain, that the one who tipped him off was Dirk Carter.

"Director Wright, what's going on?"

Dirk Carter, as the command leader.

Can't possibly not oversee this.

He stood up and asked.

Keegan Wright's face flickered with a hint of contemptuous smile.

He said: "Report to Mayor Carter, I suspect the operation was prematurely leaked, but no matter, we have contingency measures."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Bang.

The door to the synthetic combat center was pushed open.

Three people walked in.

Leading them was none other than Keaton Ross headed to a temporary party meeting.

Behind him, followed Executive Deputy Mayor Brennan Ford.

The last one was his secretary Eudora Hughes.

Keaton Ross stepped in.

With a sullen face, he asked unhappily: "What's going on? How did you let him escape?"

Keegan Wright was quite adept at coordinating.

Hurriedly said: "Report, leadership, our field agents had kept Cosimo Griffin under strict surveillance early on, this arrest operation was conducted under stringent confidentiality, I don't know what went wrong, I suspect, someone leaked the information prematurely."

"Nonsense, Keegan Wright, what kind of mess are you creating, if the criminal suspect escapes, do you realize how serious a responsibility you have to assume?"

Brennan Ford, too, put on a furious expression and scolded.

Keegan Wright showed a face of grievance.

He said: "We indeed had confidentiality measures in place, before the operation, all communication devices were collected, impossible to leak."

"Are you sure all participants turned them in?"

Brennan Ford asked.

Keegan Wright's gaze, intentionally or not, glanced at Dirk Carter who was drinking tea, and said: "Mayor Carter… Mayor Carter didn't turnover…"

Hearing this, Keaton Ross and Brennan Ford almost simultaneously looked at Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter was stunned.

Asked: "What do you mean? You don't think I'm the one who tipped off, do you?"

"Mayor Carter, don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant, I'm just… it's just that Executive Deputy Mayor asked, and only you're still retaining communication devices among everyone—"

Though explained so verbally.

But the implication was clear.

Seems to be saying, only you could be the one.

"Report!"

Just then.

A policeman walked in.

Keegan Wright asked: "What's the matter?"

That policeman saluted the leaders.

Seriously said: "Report, leadership, our system monitored a message on the suspect's phone before the operation began, content was 'City station's gonna bust you, run fast'."

This sentence.

Brought a trace of delight on faces of Keaton Ross, Brennan Ford, and Keegan Wright.

After all, in their view.

Only Dirk Carter could be the one tipping off Cosimo Griffin.

No one else possibly could.

Keegan Wright asked: "Was the phone sending the message identified?"

The police officer shook his head.

Said: "Our personnel have gone to the telecom company to get call records, results should be available soon."

Keegan Wright, upon hearing this, looked at Keaton Ross and Brennan Ford.

Keaton Ross had a stern look.

Seemingly awaiting the final verdict.

But Brennan Ford appeared somewhat impatient.

He sat beside Dirk Carter.

Frowned.

Asked: "Mayor Carter, I've heard, your relationship with Cosimo Griffin is substantial?"

This isn't much of a secret.

Because when dealing with a rift with Larry Lewis at the party school, Cosimo Griffin had intervened.

It was expected Dirk Carter definitely wouldn't admit.

Unexpectedly, he nodded, saying: "I've known him for many years."

"Could you say, is it possible? That today's arrest of Cosimo Griffin was leaked by you?"

When saying this.

Brennan Ford's expression was already a bit smug.

Logically, an executive deputy mayor isn't qualified to speak to the mayor like this.

Brennan Ford dared to be so arrogant.

It's because he already sensed Dirk Carter's impending disaster.

"Executive Deputy Mayor, what do you mean by this? Food can be eaten carelessly, but words cannot be spoken carelessly, do you have evidence?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Brennan Ford laughed heartily.

He said: "Mayor Carter, don't be nervous, I'm just speculating reasonably, all participants turned over communication devices, only you still hold them, and your relationship with Cosimo Griffin isn't bad, anyone would think this way, right?"
