Enforcer's Handbook

"Rat" is a lucky general.

Even Song Lan, who had always believed in science, had a metaphysical idea after returning to the hotel.

He never expected that this case, which had nothing to do with "rat", would make new progress because of the other party's words when he confessed to Lu Xiang and gave him leniency.

He soon learned that the "rat" was living on the third floor - which happened to be one of the rooms the three of them had chosen.

Aoife said that she was only responsible for sending the "rat" here, and the informants of the Eschenweg Army would pick him up here. The only problem now is that both the informants and the "rat" have disappeared. It will be difficult to find them in a short time.

And when he and Feng Chime broke into the place where the "rat" had fought, an unexpected thing happened.

According to Big Carrot Head's description, Spicy Chicken, who was supposed to be sleeping soundly on the bed, disappeared. They searched the room and found that he had hidden under the bed for some reason.

What's even weirder is that after hiding under the bed, he fell asleep again, and he slept so deeply that he couldn't wake up despite being pulled and pushed by the big carrot head.

This was almost the same symptom as that of Yangcun Village Chief, but instead of leaving the room and fleeing to the city, he hid under the bed.

"We're screwed."

His efforts were in vain, and the big carrot head fell to the floor in despair.

First it was the mayor of Yangcun, and now it is Spicy Chicken's turn. If this continues, sooner or later they will die in this small town due to sleepwalking.

The joy of making money has long since disappeared without a trace. No matter how much money you can make, you have to spend it with your life.

"Please rest assured that we will do our best to ensure your personal safety."

Song Lan comforted the other party.

He was serious. The reason why he asked Lu Xiang for advice was on the one hand to be interested in the mystery of the town's disappearances over the years, and on the other hand to create a good living environment for the residents of the town. These people are the mainstay of the town. He is an important builder, but before he even started working, he was frightened half to death by these bizarre phenomena.

You don't want people to build small towns anymore.

In this regard, the swarm was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

Unlike those who do not intend to offend and are afraid to avoid others, no matter who is behind the scenes, the insect swarm has always had only one purpose - to offend intentionally and not accept it.

Come out and see if the Devourer bites you. That's it.

"We are cursed, we will die here sooner or later!"

The big carrot head didn't seem to listen at all. This time, even the head of Yangcun looked solemn.

He does have many plans to build small towns and resell void goods to make profits, but the premise of all plans is that they cannot die here.

Song Lan had no choice but to let Feng Chime take the two of them and the sleeping Spicy Chicken to the next room.

Without the big carrot head spreading negative energy, he could finally concentrate on investigating this house that looked no different from the one next door.

After half an hour of research, he finally found a hidden compartment behind a strange socket on the back of the bedside table. Hidden in the secret compartment was a strange building plan. The floor plan looked somewhat similar to that of a hotel, but it had extra features. Many parts that don’t seem to exist.

The floor plan was marked with extremely detailed notes, which seemed familiar. In addition to the floor plan, Song Lan also found a post-it note with mold growing on its surface.

Lu Xiang mentioned that Captain Kate had the habit of writing clues by hand. She had never trusted the Internet and believed that the company's hackers would secretly manipulate and lead her to draw wrong conclusions. This habit followed Kate almost throughout her career as a law enforcer until she Before arriving at the hotel and being declared missing, she conveniently wrote down the clues of her investigation on a sticky note.

Perhaps even Kate herself could not have imagined that the words she wrote on the post-it note would bring enlightenment to another person who came to this room years later.

After Song Lan cleaned up the mold, she carefully read the contents on the sticky note.

The post-it note mentioned the reason why Captain Kate came to the town to investigate. She has been secretly investigating large-scale missing persons cases in District 17 over the years. Not long ago, a mysterious letter provided her with a clue. She followed the clue I found this small town far away from the city along the way.

Over the past few decades, small town residents have become accustomed to disappearances, and weird stories have become a part of their lives. At first, they would look for the missing people everywhere, but later, everyone became numb to it and even couldn't even find the missing person. I didn't even bother to post any notices, I just recorded the names of the missing persons on the local missing persons register and settled the matter hastily.

The floor plan of the hotel was also prepared for her by the mysterious person.

Kate wrote on a post-it note that she believed the mysterious man knew everything that happened in this town and seemed to just want to use her to get the truth out.

The content on the post-it note overturned the department's mainstream speculation. In fact, Captain Kate was not attacked and mutilated when she entered the room. She used the secret passage provided for her in the floor plan to live in the hotel for a week. But for some unknown reason, she deliberately avoided the residents of the town and the surveillance in the hotel.

Seven days later, Kate investigated a mysterious organization called "Dream Stealers", and she thought she had finally found their hideout.

The record ends here, and there is no further content.

Song Lan speculated that Captain Kate probably encountered the accident when he was accidentally discovered by the "Dream Stealer" when he was investigating the lair of the "Dream Stealer" alone.

He immediately thought of the strange dream mentioned by the mayor of Yangcun. He and the missing people left the town under the guidance of the dream. When these things happened, they were all asleep, and now, Lazi The same symptoms also appeared in chickens.

The secret passage on the floor plan explains how he left the hotel under his and Wind Chime's noses.

Could it be...

The people from that organization are actually still alive, and they have been using the secret passage in the hotel to operate?

From the incident between Aoife and "Rat", it is not difficult to see that the Dream Stealer is most likely related to the resistance from the "outside world". Maybe they sent "Rat" here because the Dream Stealer could find someone in the coalition government. Help him when he comes to your door.

The only thing that puzzled Song Lan was that judging from the "rat's" subsequent behavior, he seemed to have failed to get in touch with the people in that organization after moving in, which led to him being attacked again like a headless fly. Lu Xiang’s arrest.

He immediately informed Lu Xiang of the notes he had investigated, and Lu Xiang decided to use Princess Lieyang to see if he could contact the cadres of the Eschenweg Army to get more clues about the Dream Stealer.

After finishing all this, Song Lan sat on the bed.

Kate mentioned the mysterious person more than once on the post-it note. According to her speculation, the other person may not be a single person, but a powerful organization. They know many inside stories, but for this reason they are unable to reveal the truth themselves.

After learning about the existence of the mysterious man, she suddenly recalled something.

In fact, gang members in the 17th District have planned assassinations against her more than once, but in the end the plans failed due to some unexpected "coincidences", and she escaped danger time and time again.

She thought it was luck, but it didn't seem to be the case.

So on a certain page of sticky notes, she left the questions that were lingering in her heart at that time.

She has always firmly believed that she is fulfilling her duties as a law enforcer and fighting for justice.

However, could the justice she firmly believes in be just the result of an invisible hand pushing behind the scenes?

However, this time, the mysterious man failed to save her as before, and the question she left on the sticky note became an eternal mystery.

For no reason, Song Lan thought of Lu Xiang.

Judging from Kate's past deeds, she and Lu Xiang are almost the same type of people.

Because of his dedication to his duties, he was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Foster family and the company.

What is even more terrifying is that not long after Captain Kate disappeared, Lu Xiang was transferred to the 17th District by the coalition government, and finally challenged the Foster family's absolute authority in the 17th District in a more radical way. .

Is all this really a coincidence?
