I am practicing in a weird world
Page 278
According to the bald man's identification, Hunter is the financial backer behind the Qinglong Catering Group. He provides funds and protection for the Qinglong Catering Group. The Qinglong Catering Group provides him with delicacies that ordinary people cannot taste, and also promises to allow Hunter to live longer than ordinary people.
Hunter regularly enjoys special meals with the cultists in this manor. Today is one of those days. We need to find Hunter and catch him red-handed. There's no need to waste time on trivial matters."
Lorna Romijn led the team and rushed directly into the villa.
There were servants in the villa. At this moment, most of them stopped what they were doing and looked at everything in surprise.
The villa has security guards. They are all dressed in suits and have high-powered guns in their hands, but at this moment, these people dare not make the slightest movement.
They looked at Lorna Romijn and the others, their eyes filled with fear.
They only had guns in their hands, and their warehouses also had rocket launchers, but behind Lorna Romijn was an armored vehicle. The weapons installed on the armored vehicle had overwhelming firepower, and the armor of the armored vehicle was also overwhelmingly thick, which was not something that guns could penetrate.
The people in the armored vehicle are not ordinary people, but people from the Night Shift Bureau. Each of these people possesses strength beyond that of ordinary people. They are a group of people who often kill monsters. They are simply not something that ordinary soldiers can fight against.
"Clear everyone out and search this place thoroughly."
Lorna Romijn ordered.
As the order was given, the troops behind him immediately began to move and began to disperse security guards, servants and other strangers.
People dispersed in all directions and conducted a carpet search.
Soon, the entire villa was thoroughly searched, but Hunter was not found, nor were there any traces of the cultists.
No one was holding a dinner party here. Hunter was not here, and the cultists were not here either. There were only servants and security guards here.
What's going on? The intelligence clearly says that today is the day Hunter and Qinglong Catering Group are having a dinner together, and they will enjoy forbidden food today.
Why can’t I find it?
Confusion crossed Lorna Romijn's face.
At this time, a group of people in suits walked in at the door. The leader was an elderly man with a serious face and a brisk pace. He stared at Lorna Romijn and others with eyes full of anger.
Behind this man, there are five people following.
Most of these five people were holding official documents in their hands. They looked serious and aggressive.
The group came directly to Lorna Romijn.
The old man said, "I'm Hank, the housekeeper here."
He gestured behind him and said, "The people behind me are the legal team here."
Among the legal team, the person at the front took a step forward and came in front of Lorna Romijn.
The man wore gold-rimmed glasses and held official documents in his hands, appearing to be very gentle and refined.
He said, "Hello, ma'am. My name is Herbert, and I'm the lead attorney here. According to the law, I doubt the legitimacy of the search warrant in your hand."
"Are you trying to say that the search warrant in my hand is fake?"
A cynical smile crossed Lorna Romijn's face.
The search warrant in her hand could not be fake.
"No, I don't doubt the authenticity of the search warrant in your hand. I doubt its legitimacy. Search warrants cannot be issued casually. They must be issued in accordance with laws and regulations. I suspect that the search warrant in your hand violates the regulations."
Herbert continued, "A search warrant can only be issued if there is solid evidence of a crime. This is Speaker Hunter's estate. Do you have evidence that Speaker Hunter has violated the law?"
Hearing Herbert's question, the young woman behind Lorna Romijn suddenly showed some panic in her heart.
Others didn't know, but she knew that they didn't have enough evidence to prove that Speaker Hunter had committed any illegal act.
The accusation made by Baldy alone is not enough to issue a search warrant for a speaker. Baldy's accusation is an isolated evidence, and physical evidence is needed to prove that what Baldy said is true and not a false accusation.
The Anti-Suppression Bureau can use secret techniques to detect lies, but reality emphasizes materialism. Secret techniques are anti-materialistic and have the characteristic of polluting people's thoughts. Therefore, they cannot appear in front of the public openly and cannot be used as evidence.
The search warrant in hand was issued by the Anti-Suppression Bureau. Although the search warrant was genuine, it was obviously issued in violation of regulations.
But as long as evidence of collusion between Speaker Hunter and the cultists is found in the manor, this search warrant will not be in violation of the law.
By that time, the Suppression Bureau will have a large amount of evidence, and even if Speaker Hunter falls, no one will investigate whether this search warrant is in violation of the law.
Even if there is a stubborn person chasing after them, the Anti-Suppression Bureau has evidence in their hands and can just use some evidence to deal with it.
But if this operation finds nothing in Speaker Hunter's manor, then everything will be different and accountability will come immediately.

"Of course."
Lorna Romijn's tone was as firm as a judgment.
Hearing Lorna Romijn's firm tone, Herbert's face flashed with uncertainty for a moment, and he immediately said, "Please show me the evidence."
"You don't have that authority."
Lorna Romijn refused outright.
"I'm a lawyer, I have the power," said Herbert.
"Lawyers are nothing in front of me. If you need information, go to the night shift office and ask our boss. I just don't have it."
After Lorna Romijn finished speaking, she no longer paid any attention to Herbert. She left and walked towards the central room of the villa.
Behind him, a look of anger appeared on Herbert's face.
As a lawyer serving the Speaker, when has he ever been
This kind of energy.
Seeing this scene, butler Hank's face was filled with anger.
At this time, Herbert came to the side of the butler Hank and said softly: "Don't worry, we have already started the procedure, and we have people protesting to the relevant departments. I believe there will be results soon.
If the Suppression Bureau's search warrant is improper, it would be a blatant violation of the law, and if it's brought against the Speaker, his search warrant will soon be revoked. At that point, not only will they be kicked out, but everyone involved will suffer the consequences."
"How sure are you?" Hank asked.
"At least 80%."
Herbert's eyes gleamed with confidence, and he continued, "Chairman Hunter is a veteran politician and has always been cautious. I believe he won't have any evidence that the Suppression Bureau can use against him. Moreover, although that person just now spoke in a tough tone, the fact is that she couldn't produce any evidence.
Based on my judgment, the Suppression Bureau definitely has no evidence. The search warrant was issued by their senior management using their power and has no legal basis.
We just have to wait a little longer until our people go through the process and they’re done.”
After hearing Herbert's words, Butler Hank's expression improved a little. He asked, "How long will it take to complete the process?"
"We're taking a special passage. If we go slowly, it'll take about an hour, but if we go fast, we can finish it in half an hour," said Herbert.
"Let these guys from the Night Shift be arrogant for half an hour. After half an hour, I will make them pay the price."
Butler Hank's face showed a cruel look.
"We haven't found anything here. What should we do? Should we expand the search area?"
In the corridor, the young woman walked up to Lorna Romijn and asked in a low voice.
Tianxian Manor is very large and has many independent buildings. Previously, their Night Duty Bureau had only completed the search of the current building and had not had time to search other buildings.
"No need. According to the information provided by the bald man, Hunter and others tasted the forbidden food in this building. There is a high probability that the evidence is in this building. There is no need to waste time going to other buildings."
Lorna Romijn paused and continued, "And according to my estimation, the butler and those lawyers won't give us enough time to search the entire estate. They should have already sent people to go through the legal process. The search warrant we have won't withstand the investigation and will probably be revoked soon."
"What should we do? We've already turned this villa upside down and found nothing."
An anxious look appeared on the young woman's face.
"This means there must be a secret passage here. It must be a very sophisticated secret passage, otherwise our people wouldn't be unable to find anything." said Lorna Romijn.
"What should we do? We can't find the secret passage." said the young woman.
"I'll find it," said Lorna Romijn.
"How are you going to find the secret passage?"
A look of confusion appeared on the young woman's face.
Although Lorna Romijn is an excellent fighter, she is not an expert at finding hidden doors.
In terms of training, she received the same training as Lorna Romijn. Although she also learned knowledge such as finding secret passages, Lorna Romijn was not an expert in this area. She only reached the quasi-expert level in combat.
"use this."
Lorna Romijn raised her hand, indicating the charm in her hand.
Bracelet, spell number seven, can this thing be used to find secret doors?
Confusion appeared on the young woman's face.
In the interval between this question and the answer, Lorna Romijn had reached her destination.
This is the lobby on the first floor, which is the center of the villa in terms of structure.
My heart is a never-ending drumbeat. This power can be transmitted through vibrations, and perhaps it can help me find the secret door.
Lorna Romijn raised her hand, and the relic bracelet in her hand emitted a faint red light.
The next moment, her wrist moved suddenly.
"Wow!"
When the relics collided, the sound spread far away.
It was like invisible energy waves spreading in all directions and beginning to cover the entire villa.
Sound can penetrate walls. If there is a secret door behind the wall, the echo will definitely be different. As long as you can tell the difference, you can know where the secret door is.
Lorna Romijn listened to the echo, and suddenly, all the echoes bounced back and came into her ears.
After a while, she put down her hand and a look of difficulty appeared on her face.
The villa was very large, with not only numerous rooms but also numerous pieces of furniture, and its structure was also very complex. She heard too many sounds, including the sound of vibrations penetrating the walls and the sound of vibrations being blocked by the walls. There were countless sounds of each kind, and she simply could not tell where the secret door was among the countless noises.
Inside Lorna Romijn, Xiao Yi suddenly said, "You can try using the Principle of Enlightenment."
Hearing Xiao Yi's voice, Lorna Romijn activated the principle of enlightenment in the bracelet. Suddenly, the purple energy turned into tiny snakes like thin threads and swam in all directions.
.
The next moment, the sound of doors opening could be heard continuously. Locks opened automatically, and doors opened automatically with gaps.
Then, Lorna Romijn felt that a large amount of the energy of the Principle of Enlightenment was concentrated in one place.
She asked Xiao Yi in her heart: "What does this mean?"
"The principle of opening has the nature of opening closed things. It does not allow closed things to exist. It represents that this place has something with a strong power of closing." Xiao Yi said.
That must be a secret passage. I said, the intelligence said it was here, there was no way it couldn't be found.
Lorna Romijn moved and walked quickly towards the place she sensed.
Soon, she came to the door of a room.
It was an inconspicuous room, just like any other room in the villa, with the same door and the same decorations.
"You can't enter here."
Behind him, Hank, the butler, saw Lorna Romijn about to enter the room and quickly spoke out to stop her.

"There's no place I can't enter here."
Lorna Romijn reached out and pushed the door open, revealing the scene inside.
The room is full of bookshelves and looks like a study.
"This is Speaker Hunter's private room, not a place you can enter." Hank shouted.
Lorna Romijn walked in, as if Hank, the butler behind her, was farting.
"You will definitely pay the price."
Butler Hank warned sharply.
Lorna Romijn entered the room and went straight to a bookshelf.
Here, a large number of principles of enlightenment are gathered here.
She reached out, grabbed the edge of the bookshelf, and pushed hard.
