Enforcer's Handbook
Chapter 479 Go home often
For Song Lan, returning to the orphanage to visit was not a big deal, but after learning the information about Lu Xiang's investigation, everything suddenly became complicated and confusing.
Before setting off, the two of them were fully mentally prepared.
That afternoon, the sound of the hover car landing broke the tranquility of this old street. At the same time, it also attracted the attention of some gang members with mohawks and exaggeratedly dressed. They held iron rods and moved towards the hover car from a distance. He glanced in the direction where the car was landing. After seeing Song Lan getting out of the car, he relaxed his vigilance.
The orphanage still maintains the appearance that Song Lan remembers. It has not changed much over the years. Most of this block is an old residential area. The residents are mainly retired middle-aged and elderly people who live a slow-paced life. .
There was a lively sound from the other end of the door. A group of children were running back and forth in the courtyard, engaging in a game of police and robbers.
They held plastic guns and simulated the sound of firing with their mouths. The lively atmosphere calmed down the tension a lot.
Lu Xiang believes that there is an answer hidden behind this door.
People's memories can be forged, but the places where they once lived will leave corresponding marks.
All their doubts were answered as soon as they entered the door - the director of the orphanage, who was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, saw Song Lan and immediately came over with a smile.
His clothes looked no different from those of an ordinary old man. His cheap clothes and trousers showed no sign of the aura befitting a "godfather".
The dean is thin and a little too old.
In 2166, 80 years old is actually not too old. With breakthroughs in biomedical technology, people have overcome medical problems one after another and created a series of technologies to increase cell activity. In this era, people can There are many people who live to be over 160 years old.
Of course, the secret to longevity lies firmly in the hands of the company and the family.
It is not difficult to see that the dean has not enjoyed the benefits brought by technological progress.
"Why are you thinking of coming to visit an old man like me?"
The dean seemed to be in good spirits. He quickly came up to him, stared at Lu Xiang carefully for a long time, and then said "Okay" several times. His cloudy eyes were suddenly full of light, "Is this your wife? "
For a moment, Song Lan actually had the feeling of returning home during the Chinese New Year.
He still remembered that when his cousin brought his girlfriend home for the first time during the Chinese New Year, the old people's faces were as rosy as they are now, and they directly regarded her as their future daughter-in-law.
This emotion does not seem to be fake.
However, the identity issue still needs to be clarified, "It's my girlfriend."
"No, she is my wife."
Lu Xiang raised objections. She held Song Lan's arm affectionately and said, "We are seriously considering the issue of marriage, so we want to pay you a special visit."
"Great, come in."
Every word Lu Xiang said touched the heart of the director. She never went into an unprepared battle. Before she decided to visit the orphanage, she carefully studied the precautions when visiting relatives, and also focused on the characteristics of the orphanage. Corresponding gifts were prepared.
According to her investigation, this orphanage was established in the name of an individual, and the people who came to the orphanage to help were old people who had nothing to do after retirement. The 17th District Government had never provided financial support to them.
In other words, this is not only a non-profit thing, but also a "loss-making transaction."
Because the notice posted by the orphanage stated that homeless children would be accepted here for free, and the orphanage would be responsible for the children's daily food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
Based on the above information, Lu Xiang came to two conclusions.
One is that the dean is an extremely rare good person in 2166; the other is that he is trying to use this method to achieve some ulterior secrets.
She decided to trust her instincts, thinking that the former seemed more in line with the first impression the old man had given them.
So she returned to the hover car and took out the gifts she had prepared - mainly some holographic toys for the children. These devices are not expensive and only require a pair of glasses to make them more immersive. Participate in various role-playing games.
When purchasing, the merchant also gave her a 20% discount based on the wholesale price.
When the children got these never-before-seen equipment, they happily gathered around Lu Xiang. They had seen Lu Xiang in electronic newspapers and knew that she was a very remarkable person.
There are also children who want to experience the feeling of riding a hover car. In the past, they could only stay in the yard and look up at the hover cars flying across the sky from time to time. Although they are in the same city, they seem to be two worlds apart.
Lu Xiang took the child to the gate of the compound, and Song Lan also got the opportunity to be alone with the dean.
"Among these children, you are the most promising."
The dean took him into the attic.
The moment he crossed the threshold, he finally discovered something unusual about the orphanage - his psychic ability sensed that the basement room was filled with arms.
Packed in a black box, in addition to the gang's standard firearms, there are also anti-material weapons such as grenades and individual rocket launchers.
These arms are enough to arm a large-scale gang.
The dean had no intention of pretending to him. After entering, he took him directly into the elevator and all the way into the basement.
He used the access card to open the door of the "Arsenal", showed the equipment in the basement to Song Lan, and sighed, "Look at them, what they send every time, they say they are used for my self-defense, I How can an old man use these things?"
The dean's attitude was exactly the same as when giving red envelopes to children during the holidays, "You happen to work in the law enforcement department. If your department needs them, just take them. I have been reading the newspaper recently, and it mentioned As your financial situation is not very optimistic recently, I can help you a little bit."
It's just that what he got was a warehouse of arms.
If these equipment fell into the hands of a certain gang, they would laugh out of their dreams.
"no, I'm fine."
Song Lan waved her hands repeatedly, "The financial problem has been solved, and what they said makes sense. This city is not safe, so it is better to save something for self-defense."
"You don't want it?" The old man who was rejected looked a little disappointed. "I checked the information and found that these are good equipment."
His tone is like that of an old man who keeps stuffing you with fruits during the Chinese New Year and urging you to eat more.
Song Lan had to lament that the way of giving gifts in 2166 was also very different.
He casually made up a new rule, "It's really not necessary. Our current equipment is sufficient, and according to the regulations of the bureau, it is not convenient for us to accept unregistered equipment."
"That's good."
The old man finally gave up the persuasion, but then he pushed the conversation to another classic topic, "By the way, when are you planning to get married? I'm still waiting for the wedding banquet."
