"Yes, Mayor Wente," the youth blurted out everything once he started talking, without any more concerns,
"It seems the mayor lost something important, taken by that lawyer named Yi Jiali. But we haven't found anything, so we had to look for people related to her. We found out she frequents the library and has a good relationship with you, so we thought she might have given the item to you."
If it was truly a valuable item that had been lost, the mayor could have directly reported it to the police or the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Only those things that couldn't be reported and needed to be kept secret had to involve gang members.
He Ao realized that things were getting more complicated. He looked at the youth and asked another question, "The Mech Cultist who tried to kill me a few days ago, was he also one of your people?"
