393 The Exaggerated Missing Population

Cather was mad. He seemed to see his own future and kingdom from the five mermaids.

He enslaved these mermaid slaves to earn him endless finances, and he was the king of the kingdom. He needed more mermaids. He wanted them to form an army, to make money for him, and to become them his guards.

Earl was also going crazy too. He was in a state of perplexity and excitement.

He was originally conscious that these people were not real mermaids at all, but when he saw piles of pearls, huge corals that he had never seen before, and gold coins with historical traces, everything showed that these mermaids could find treasures at the bottom of the sea.

His consciousness changed from original sobriety to vagueness, he even felt that this was the real mermaid. This was exactly in line with his original intention of looking for mermaids. To use mermaids to find inexhaustible wealth at the bottom of the sea.

But now, all his wealth had been taken away by Cather. He had some hatred.

He was looking for a chance to replace Cather, but there was no such opportunity, because all the forces in the base belonged to Cather, and he could hardly achieve it alone.

Earl was not discouraged. He silently injected the people Cather had caught back and slowly searched for it.

Because E&B was suspended, the fish toxin powder could not be dispersed in batches. Recently, all the people Cather caught were the former poisoned ones. Although they still had fish poisoning on them, they could not change immediately like the original five people because the poisoning had dispersed. They were raised in the base pond and cultivated slowly.

As two weeks passed, Earl feared that Cather would find out the secret of the powder. He warned Cather in advance that if he didn't catch people quickly, the characteristic of mermaids would disappear, and it would be difficult to find them.

Therefore, in the next two days, the city's rate of missing people reached an unprecedented climax.

Municipal governments and police stations were crowded with people whose families are missing.

A total of 1,500 people disappeared in a week.

The whole department of the government was overwhelmed.

Mayor Luc immediately went to William’s Mansion to ask help for Charles, because it was Charles who found the real Nancy's corpse last time. He was totally at a loss now.

More than a thousand people were missing, not only one.

If it was only one person, they could find him slowly, but 1,500 people, their families behind them were multiplied. The number of people had reached the level of insurgency.

When Charles received Roy's phone call, he moved back to William’s Mansion with Bella by teleportation.

Bella asked Charles while changing clothes, "Is Luc coming too early?"

Luc should not come so soon in the plan.

Charles replied, "It’s truly earlier than we expected. But Cather's recent mad arrest of people without any cushion directly pushed Luc to the brink of extremity.”

In the plan, the population should gradually disappear. The government departments should solve the problem by themselves. Only when the number of missing people accumulated to a certain amount, when the case couldn’t be solved in a short time would Luc come to find them.

Nor did they expect Cather would be so crazy that he would arrest people in large numbers regardless of anything.

"Does he want to catch all those people who have been poisoned before their efficacy fails?" Bella asked.

"According to the current situation, that's the case." Charles smiled and hugged her, and looked at Bella’s round belly in the mirror. He said softly along with her ears, "Bell, soon, we will all be safe."

"Yeah." Bella touched her belly, her eyes full of love, "Bryant is often kicking me now."

Charles put his hand on her stomach, and the little baby just kicked him in the palm, as if greeting him, Charles sighed contentedly, "Bell, my life is complete with you."

Bella smiled at him, "Fish boy."

Charles raised his eyebrows. "Are you laughing at me?"

"How dare I!" Bella stuck out her tongue. "You are the King of the Sea." But..." She was curious. 'Your appearance of fish could only be seen in the sea?'

Charles turned away his head and said, "Come on, the chess piece is already here, let's say hello to him."

He would not tell her that he could keep the shape on land as his ability. When he saw the tease in her eyes, he knew she would do tricks about it.

His Bell was becoming more and more naughty.

But he would like to. It showed that Bell was no longer afraid of him.

"Okay."

When Charles and Bella came downstairs, Luc had waited for half an hour and finished a cup of coffee.

Charles stretched out his hand and shook him for a moment. He apologized. "My wife is pregnant, she always goes to bed early, I am sorry to keep you waiting for such a long time."

"No, no. It's not my fault to disturb you so late at night.” Luc would even like to bow and apologize to him as long as he helped him to find those people.

"Why does Mr. Smith come to visit us so late? Is there something important happened?" Bella asked doubtfully.

This affair should have been a matter of government, but now he had to ask the citizen for help. Luc was a little bit embarrassed. Bella asked this way was just to give him a step.

"Yeah." Luc took a sip of coffee, suppressed his nervousness and sighed, "I'm coming for a very important thing today. I'm coming to ask for help from the lord."

"What's the matter?" Charles asked directly without any spite.

Luc was ready to be rejected. Charles's words relieved him and made him feel more confident. "Recently, many people have been missing. I think the lord must also have heard about it."

Charles nodded while hugging around Bella, it was a little cold during the night. He asked Roy to take a blanket and cover Bella, then indicated Luc to go on talking.

Luc watched the couple's affection, and was sad to think of his dead daughter and his recently insane wife. The tone of his voice was uncontrollably upset.

"The government has concentrated all its efforts on the investigation of missing people. But it will take time to solve the case. Now the masses are rioting in front of the government building every day. We should also allocate our strength to appease the masses, which will even delay the speed of solving the case...”

In this era of internet, mass disturbances immediately appeared in the news, and Vancouver had now become the city that the leaders most concerned.

More than 1,000 people disappeared at one time, which became the largest case of missing persons in history.

Luc was not seeking promotion now, but to keep his place. Moreover, he was not an outmoded man. He also had ideas and aspirations when he was in politics, he also wanted to love people as his families.

Now about the missing people, he didn’t only care about his position, but also about the lives of those people. Especially after knowing Nancy’s death, he could understand the families of those missing people better.

He understood their grief, so he did not use any means to suppress them.
