Chapter 389 No Discovery

"Rodrick, you go run for Congress!"

"……cough!"

Roderick, who happened to be drinking water, almost choked to death at Annan's sudden suggestion.

The young gang boss took several deep breaths and finally calmed down his cough.

"...What are you talking about suddenly?"

Roderick thought that this ally only came regularly to check on the situation here, but who knew that such a thing would happen.

You must know that they have been secretly investigating a person suspected of being the former president. It has not been a week yet. They are still observing the situation cautiously and it is not appropriate to do anything too outrageous.

"I'm serious, really, really serious."

Annan tried his best to straighten his face, showing a serious look.

However, Roderick, who has known this ally who can no longer be called a boy for a long time, naturally does not think that the other party is serious now.

"What do you think?"

"I just think that if you want to be safer, there should be someone on the surface who can formally contact the president."

Annan's suggestion just now did come to him suddenly. It wasn't even a flash of inspiration. He just suddenly felt it was feasible, so he proposed it.

However, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

"If we can confirm that the guy named Leo Dia is really the former president who faked his death and the dictator, then relying on the white knight alone may not be enough, or even impossible. We should Have some precautions, some other plans."

"My running for parliament is the so-called second plan?"

Roderick didn't think this so-called plan was feasible at all.

He is a well-established gangster. Although he is not well-known to everyone, he is definitely considered the number one figure.

He doesn't think the current officials will allow a gang boss to run for parliament. That would be playing with fire.

"I don't think so."

"I think that if there are any deviations in future development, it is always good to be prepared. In short, you should listen to it first. Anyway, it is not the next parliamentary election yet."

Annan recalled the previous election time. He vaguely remembered the local parliamentary election, which seemed to be held again next year.

Even if Roderick agreed to his whim, he would not be able to become a member of Parliament so quickly.

"Just remember it first. You can also prepare it in advance. Having more cards in your hand is always a good thing, right?"

"Do you want one more hand card..."

If there were no official restrictions, Rodrick would run for election or even become a council member. After careful analysis, he felt that there would be no obstacles or difficulties at all. He could easily become a council member of this city.

First of all, he has money, he has funds for activities, and he also has some supporters. Even if he doesn't, just order all the members of the Nares Gang to vote for him.

Becoming a voter is actually very simple. As long as you are a citizen of Matatek and you are still of age, you can go to the city hall or library to get the form at any time. The procedure can be completed in less than a week.

Since the Nares Gang re-started, the number of gang members has continued to increase. Although it cannot be said that it has returned to its previous glory, it will definitely be able to obtain a considerable number of votes.

"...Why am I really thinking about such random things?"

Only then did Rodrick realize that he was completely following Annan's footsteps. He shook his head and stopped thinking about this nonsense.

However, if you just make a little preparation, there is really no problem and it doesn't take much effort.

Roderick was not convinced by Annan's few words, but he did have some thoughts.

If something really goes wrong in the future, it won't be too late to implement this ridiculous plan.

"By the way, Annan, when will you and the professor leave for the capital?"

"Leaving in a week."

This year's summer vacation, Professor Dulan is not scheduled to go to the capital to give lectures or promote life magic. After such a year, the official side still attaches great importance to life magic, but it is no longer as strong as before. .

Dulan has no objection to this. The purpose of life magic is too narrow and its practicality is a bit poor. It is good that the official can maintain the current attitude.

If Annan hadn't brought the too important news before, Duran would probably have spent his summer vacation in Kedax City at his usual pace.

However, since we have discovered a possible huge problem, and it is related to ourselves, we must contact or understand it within the scope of our ability.

Duran also prepared quickly. He called some magic scholars in the capital that he had contacted before, and then said that he would attend their summer lectures, which was considered an academic exchange.

This kind of communication between magicians is very common, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to doubt it.

Duran is going to the capital in a private capacity this time and will not bring other members of the life department magic research team with him. Of course, Annan, a magic apprentice, will follow.

"Is it possible to meet our target person during your trip?" Roderick asked.

"It all depends on luck. After all, that person is a staff member of the president. He doesn't usually have much interaction with the professor. There's no telling whether he can meet him or not."

Annan and Duran didn't have high expectations, they were just doing their best.

On the other hand, they planned to secretly investigate the situation in the capital's underground world and observe whether there were any unobvious changes.

If the dictator really had some conspiracy, he might leave some traces behind.

"Wish us luck."

A week later, Annan took a plane with the professor to the capital as expected.

Their entire journey was quite uneventful, without any accidents and everything went smoothly.

But everything goes well, which means nothing is discovered.

The professor attended different magic academic exchange meetings in various parts of the capital according to his schedule. Annan would sometimes go with him, and sometimes he would go alone.

Nothing was discovered, and no opportunity was found to contact the target person.

"We can't find anything here. So, Mr. Detective, what about you?"

Near the center of the capital, Annan was exchanging information with Antonio, the detective who came here first to investigate.

Antonio, who looked a little haggard and unkempt, took a big sip of black coffee.

"No, nothing..."

Antonio, who had obvious dark circles under his eyes, seemed quite tired.

"I have tried my best to investigate in all the places I can reach, and I have indeed discovered some incidents, large and small, but they have nothing to do with our goal... I have not found anything."
