"It seems you've realized the seriousness of the situation... Judging from your expression, you shouldn't be the mastermind. If you're willing to cooperate, I might be able to help you clear your suspicion."
Caitlin hummed.
Li Lin felt a little surprised. He didn't expect that she would make such a promise.
Considering that she doesn't like to lie, this promise is most likely true.
Jace on the side just stared and said nothing.
He knew nothing about this kind of negotiation with others, so naturally he would not cause trouble for Caitlin.
Hilco quickly controlled his out-of-control behavior, took a deep breath, and then stared calmly into Caitlin's blue eyes.
"Why can you make such a guarantee?"
"Because my last name is Gilaman."
Hilko's breath hitched, "So, the kidnapped councilor is Jiraman? Your mother?"
Caitlin's expression darkened slightly, "Yes... and my father."
As the controller in charge of an area in Zaun, he naturally knew the names of many big families in the upper city.
The Gilaman family is a well-known family in Piltover. Although its economic strength is not too strong, it makes up for it in politics.
In terms of comprehensive strength, the Gilaman family is enough to rank among the top five in the former Piltover family rankings.
Hilko slammed his clenched right fist into the palm of his left hand and paced back and forth in front of everyone, looking very anxious.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent factory. Coupled with the dim and messy environment and the faint smell of blood in the air, the atmosphere on the scene was very depressing.
Hilco glanced at Li Lin's power armor.
No, I'm not ready yet. Now is not the time to confront Shangcheng.
They rescued Fandel, and I still have to be on guard against their revenge in the future...
What a damn bastard! Why did I believe your lies?
You actually dared to kidnap a congressman. This is different from what we said at the beginning!
I have to think of a way, a way...
The eyes of more than twenty people followed Hilco's figure.
After a while, he had roughly thought about what he was going to say next and stopped.
"Ms. Gilaman, I can assure you that we had nothing to do with what happened in Upper Town."
Hilco clasped his hands together in front of his chest, but his furrowed brow showed that he was not in a relaxed mood.
Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
A hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, "However, not long ago, a mysterious guy from the upper city came to me and gave me a piece of information.
"That guy said there would be riots in Upper City on Evolution Day. The law enforcement officers wouldn't be in a position to control Lower City then. We could seize this opportunity to seize control of Black Alley in one fell swoop... It's a gang war, so I definitely won't pass up this opportunity."
Caitlin stared at Hilco coldly, not believing a word of his explanation, which was obviously full of loopholes.
However, she didn't care about these insignificant lies at all. Finding her parents was the most important thing.
"Was that person a man or a woman? What did he look like? What was his body shape? What did he say? What was he wearing when he came to see you?
"If possible, please tell me the answers to all the questions I just asked, so I can summarize the clues, determine this guy's intentions, and then find my parents."
Caitlin spoke so quickly that not only Li Lin and Jace were stunned, but even Hilko looked a little confused.
After a brief pause, Hilcon nudged his lips and shook his head. "Well, I probably can't answer most of these questions for you."
"Why?" Caitlin frowned.
"Because I didn't even see what that guy looked like at the time, and I couldn't tell whether the guy's voice was male or female."
Hilco stretched out his hand and stroked his chin. When he thought of what happened at that time, his heart beat faster.
"It was nighttime, and I was lying in bed when I suddenly smelled a strange fragrance that was completely out of tune with the gray haze of the city.
"Then, my door was pushed open. From the light footsteps of that guy, I could tell that he was definitely not one of my men.
"Just as I was about to get up and grab the pistol from the drawer, I found myself completely limp and powerless. I collapsed on the bed until that guy came to my bed..."
Only a small portion of these words actually happened.
When Hilco said this, Li Lin and Caitlin basically guessed who he was talking about.
Is C really the mastermind behind this?
It seems that Hilco, like the Audilenk family, was also used as a shield by C.
Caitlin thought silently, then her brain raced, analyzing the information she could extract from the current intelligence:
C The hypnotic flower pollen used this time has a different purpose. This guy may be able to make it produce different effects by mixing the pollen.
Since her footsteps were relatively light, it could be preliminarily determined that C was a female...
Caitlin glanced at the men around Hilko.
Except for a few big and strong guys, most people are short and thin, and look like they are malnourished.
Well, it doesn't have to be a woman, it could be a man too...
After thinking for a moment, she signaled to Xierko to continue:
“At the time, I thought it was someone sent by my mortal enemy to assassinate me, but the guy actually moved a chair and sat next to the bed, in a blind spot in my field of vision.
"That guy called himself 'C', and just like I just said, C told me that there would be riots in the upper city and asked me to prepare..."
