Enforcer's Handbook

Soon, Lu Xiang received another bad news.

The performers of the Emmanuel Theater Troupe were missing. Not long ago, the staff of the Square Theater received a notice from the troupe that all their performances in the next few days were cancelled. No matter how they tried to persuade them, they could not change their minds.

The owner of the Plaza Theater was heartbroken. This was originally a good opportunity for them to turn around. He even dreamed of a glorious future for the theater again. However, this dream was shattered by a phone call from the Lingguang Theater Company. He could only speculate. The cancellation of the show may be related to the murder that occurred near the Plaza Theater.

It is said that three people died in the alley across the street. The scene was extremely bloody, and their hearts were taken out by an unknown murderer.

The theater owner scolded the three drunkards in his heart, but he could only accept the bleak reality helplessly.

Now he also has to deal with refunding tickets and apologizing to viewers.

Of course, in Lu Xiang's view, the Lingguang Theater Troupe's approach was no different from fleeing in fear of crime. If they couldn't find the Lingguang Theater Troupe, they would not be able to identify those infected by the mechanical plague, so they could only adopt a stupid method and go there in the middle of the night. The bar the three of them frequent most.

But because her popularity in District 17 was so high, the undercover investigation had to be completed by Song Lan.

Aurora Bar is one of the most famous bars in District 17. It used to be the property of "Rat". After "Rat" became famous all over the world with a bounty of tens of millions, the business of Aurora Bar also reached its peak. In addition to regular customers, In addition, there are also many former gang members who come here specifically to pay homage to the "Rat" deeds.

A separate area was set up for them in the bar, providing them with space to carry out activities.

Getting together to remember the gang's glory days in District 17 and then getting drunk in the bar has become a part of many people's lives.

Alcohol can provide them with a space for fantasy, making things they dare not do in reality come true in their drunken dreams.

Then the next day, he continued his life of nodding and bowing to the law enforcers.

Song Lan easily found out about the three drunkards from the bartender.

They are regulars at the Aurora Bar, and were familiar faces here before "Rat" became famous all over the world. But in fact, they are not orthodox gang members. At best, they can only be classified as using alcohol to dare to pick up bottles and A gangster who fights with people.

They have always dreamed of joining the "Rat" gang to gain a legitimate title of gang member, but because they offended a girl in a bar while drunk, the onlookers blacklisted them.

Before Lu Xiang came to this city, the gang members were all well-known figures. They would not allow three people who only knew how to drink and cause trouble to become a member of the gang.

Unfortunately, none of the three became true gang members until their deaths.

When talking about the three of them, the bartender seemed to start chatting and sighed.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that they have lost three regular customers. Although the three are far from gang members, they can be regarded as quite high-quality customers. They have spent almost all the money they earned over the years on drinking.

"Have the three of them been particularly close to anyone in the bar recently?"

Song Lan took advantage of the situation and asked.

Lu Xiang investigated the life trajectories of the three people and found that their life patterns were surprisingly regular - going to bars to drink at night until they drank themselves unconscious, and then falling asleep on the roadside during the day.

"Wait a minute buddy."

The bartender suddenly realized something and looked Song Lan up and down, "The person you're asking around here is probably a note, right?"

Only law enforcers like to inquire so deeply about dead people, and Song Lan was still a new face in the bar, and even only ordered a glass of orange juice after arriving here.

Especially the last point is really suspicious.

How can any gang member come to a bar and not order a drink?

After all, this is Brother "Rat"'s territory. Although the gang members in District 17 are in dire straits, it does not mean that the law enforcers can do whatever they want to them.

Refusing to cooperate with the investigation is their last resort.

Song Lan had already expected that the bartender would ask this question, so she said, "There is an orphanage in the west area of ​​the 17th arrondissement. I came from there."

Hearing this, the bartender was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes changed when he looked at Song Lan.

Everyone who hangs out on the street knows about the orphanage. Many prominent figures in the gang came from that orphanage. The director of the orphanage is even known as the "godfather" in District 17.

"Godfather, how are you doing recently?"

The bartender's tone became a little more respectful.

"Godfather, everything is fine with him. He cares about these three deceased people very much, so he asked me to come and inquire about them. I hope you won't embarrass me."

"How could I make this difficult for you?"

The bartender became a little panicked.

The godfather's hands and eyes were all over the place in District 17. He had heard from people in the church that even Lu Xiang personally visited his old man's house, and someone witnessed them having a very happy conversation.

"Go to the VIP area. Maybe the people there know something."

The bartender lowered his voice and said, "By the way, say hello to the godfather for me."

When Song Lan arrived at the VIP area, the former gang members were gathering together, reminiscing about the glory days of the gang when Mr. "Rat" and Chai Ke were still in District 17.

The Godfather's reputation was very useful among these gang members. After learning that he was here under the Godfather's entrustment, these former gang members actively cooperated with Song Lan's investigation.

They also soon learned from their stories the identities of the three people in the Aurora Bar - the losers.

Flattering, pouring drinks, and helping with some chores, this is their usual life in the bar.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off.

After years of hard work, they finally got the appreciation of a group of gang members.

Before their deaths, they got close to a group of people who called themselves the Red Lotus Gang.

However, they don't know much about the people of the Red Lotus Gang. They only know that in the past, they were a group of extremely xenophobic people. Even people from other gangs thought that they were a group of complete lunatics.

They obtained some unknown prosthetics from black clinics, and without any concern about the possibility of suffering from cyberpsychosis, they directly installed those prostheses into their bodies. Many of them had been modified to the point where they could not see. Out of human form.

During Lu Xiang's tenure as supervisor, they still maintained close ties with the black clinic, and their behavior was not restrained at all.

But the strange thing is that even if the people of the Red Lotus Gang modify themselves to look like humans or ghosts, there are almost never any real cyber lunatics among them.

"I advise you to give up. Those people don't give anyone face, and even the reputation of the godfather is not good for them."

The drunk and red-faced former gang member said to Song Lan, his tongue was full of alcohol, "There is only one way to sneak into them."

"any solution?"

"Transplanted prosthetics, a large number of military-grade prosthetics. As long as you modify yourself to look like a ghost, they will take the initiative to find you. By the way, those three people have also been to the territory of the Red Lotus Gang before."

As he said that, he stared at Song Lan several times and said, "You definitely can't do this now. There's absolutely no chance."

Small theater one hundred and sixty-one:

It was Monday evening on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.

Although Song Lan was very grateful to Lu Xiang for helping him and temporarily obtaining the dean's condition report, he needed to clarify that he had never taught anyone a bad lesson, because everyone who knew him knew that he was the honest man. points people.

Lu Xiang obviously learned his bad skills elsewhere.

Since her relationship, after spending a short time in the novice zone, her routine has never stopped.

Just like now, as soon as she came out of the office building, she took Song Lan's arm affectionately and said, "Congratulations on once again escaping promotion from the council. So, how are you going to repay me?"

"Wait a minute, what's the reward?"

Song Lan immediately became alert, "This is different from what was promised. I changed my name to you all day long in exchange for these cases."

That day, he was so determined that he risked his life. His address to Lu Xiang aroused many people's eyebrows, and some even gave them ambiguous smiles.

He is thin-skinned and usually can't stand this.

"Those are just down payments."

Lu Xiang responded with a reasonable expression, "Now that the matter is done, it's time to make the final remarks... Comrade Song Lan, you don't want the council to know that the dean's cases are all fake. He is actually quite... Healthy, right?"

"Where did you learn these words?"

Song Lan was shocked.

"It doesn't matter where you learned it from. What's important is that your time tonight belongs to me. It's all part of the final payment."
