Enforcer's Handbook

Luxurious hover cars, villa areas, famous videos, and Shaw Grant.

These are scenes that would only appear in Gloria's dreams, but now they are actually happening in her life.

Xiao Grant actually took her back to his mansion in the villa area. She had a hunch that her identity information would soon be revealed on the Internet, and her experiences in the Fourth District in recent years would also be made transparent. The ground cover was announced in the form of breaking news.

"sit down."

The two came to the living room. Xiao Grant picked out a glass of wine from the wine cabinet that Gray had never seen before, and poured a glass for himself and her. "Maybe this can help you calm down. Now I need you to cheer up." Be alert and confirm the identity of someone who wants to kill you next time they come to your door."

Guerrero felt that her experience at this moment was just like those in those movie scripts.

A case that alarmed national rescuers surfaced, and she was lucky enough to become the only survivor - a special treatment that only movie heroines can have.

She is no stranger to the number 23.

The enthusiastic customer she met on the rooftop mentioned this number when trying to persuade her.

"The attacker should be someone from your crew."

Shaw-Grant gave the hint.

"……Why?"

Guerrero was a little stunned. She always felt that the man sitting in front of her knew the case better than her client. His words and deeds were just like the famous detective August Quinn in "Mystery". Same!

"At the end of Powell's script, the serial killer got the punishment he deserved. Even though the diagnosis showed that he suffered from severe mental illness, after discussion, the law enforcement personnel finally sent this evil devil to the electric chair."

A happy ending that fits the theme of District 4.

Guerrero was very familiar with the script. She finally got the chance to play the heroine, but was eventually told that the film would not be released in theaters, and their efforts over the past few months would be in vain.

"But Powell also prepared another open ending."

"...Another ending?"

Graylo was stunned. As a member of the crew, she had never heard that this story had a hidden ending. She admitted that she lost control of her emotions after hearing that the movie could not be put on the screen. She became angry before all filming was officially completed. and left the crew.

"One night after the serial killer was executed, the heroine in the play woke up from the hotel. Some strange noises coming from outside the door caught her attention. Just when she wanted to check the source of the noise, she was already dead. The serial killer suddenly broke into the house and chased her all the way to the rooftop, and the final scene ended with the heroine falling to her death."

The typical reversal ending echoes the first scene in which the heroine hears a noise outside the hotel and witnesses the entire process of the serial killer's murder, and at the same time gives the audience room for open discussion.

The serial killer finally managed to escape punishment, or perhaps the heroine suffered from severe mental illness in a long-term state of fear, which eventually led to her death in the fall.

In District 4, this kind of narrative technique is not uncommon. A similar ending was used as early as in the movie "The Caller".

Shaw-Grant said, "In other words, if you follow the true ending of the script, as the heroine, you will eventually die by falling from the building."

"I don't understand what you mean. What you just said is in the script."

"Now, the story in the script is reflected in reality. The 23 people before you all had the same experience. Although they played different roles in the script, they were all involved in the falling scene. At the end of the filming Later, they actually fell from the roof of their residence one night."

Shaw-Grant said, "There must be some connection here. The attacker may have participated in the filming of these 23 crews."

Graylo's hair stood on end for a moment, and fear made her nails dig into the flesh of her legs. She hoped to use the pain to calm herself down.

But when she thought that the other party had killed at least 23 people before meeting her, a creepy feeling filled her heart.

This is not a story that happened in a fictional script, but a real serial killer is eyeing her and is very likely to attack her again.

"This is the problem. I investigated the composition of these 23 crews and found no suspects who met the above conditions. Therefore, I need you to help me recall whether you encountered any suspicious people during your filming."

Gloria looked at the clear liquid in the glass and drank it in one gulp.

The hot stimulation surged through her body along her taste buds, and her consciousness became a little hazy.

In the past, she always avoided drinking. God knows what those people would mix with their wine. If she wasn't careful, she would find herself disheveled in the hotel room when she woke up the next day.

This is also a characteristic of the fourth district.

But now, she felt that this hazy feeling might help her recall some details that she had easily missed.

She closed her eyes and thought about the moment when Powell came to her and told her that she had been cast as the leading lady.

That was probably the beginning of this nightmare.

"...There was a cleaner who looked to be in his early fifties."

After an unknown amount of time, she opened her eyes and said, "He is very interested in filming. He often discusses scripts with Powell during breaks."

"Cleaner..."

Hearing this, Xiao Grant suddenly realized.

In District 4, cleaners are often temporary personnel and are not even recorded in the crew list. Especially for a little-known director like Powell, the division of labor within the crew is also extremely irregular.

He actually had doubts about these logistics personnel, but most of them would not leave their names.

But this was at least a breakthrough clue that gave his investigation another direction.

If it is true as Guerrero said that the cleaner always came to Powell to discuss the script, then he should have been extremely impressed, and when he found the cleaner himself, he would have his own means to get him to reveal the truth.

"I will find the person you are talking about. Before that... there are guest rooms and disposable toiletries on the second floor. You have encountered a lot of things today. You should be exhausted. Go and have a rest. You can stay with me here. It’s safe for now.”

"Mr. Shaw Grant, can I ask you a question?"

Before going to the second floor, Gray Luo suddenly summoned up the courage and spoke.

"Just ask."

"Why are you so interested in this case?"

For a national-level reliever like Shaw Grant, their lives would never have intersected.

She thought that maybe some of the 23 dead people had special meaning to him.

"Why?"

Shaw Grant looked directly into Gray's eyes, "Because I am a rescuer and this is my job."

I have been very busy in the past few days, so the number of updates has been reduced. Sorry for that.

Small theater one hundred and seventy-nine:

Tuesday morning on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.

Lu Xiang is the most difficult opponent Song Lan has ever encountered. In the long-term battle of wits and courage, she has used both hard and soft tactics to the extreme. Her tactics are so changeable that even Song Lan, who is known as the "wise general", is often manipulated.

Just like yesterday, her rhetorical question directly caused her negotiation plan to be strangled in the cradle.

But he, Song Lan, is not a vegetarian either.

Having learned his lesson, he went out today without bringing anything and came to the department empty-handed.

As long as he has no "goods" on him, there is no possibility of being hacked.

This was his silent protest.

As a reputable person on the "Tao", how could he suffer such a disadvantage?

Ten minutes had passed since lunch break, and Lu Xiang called him as expected.

"I'm taking my lunch break."

As soon as the call was connected, Lu Xiang hinted at him, "I'm alone in the office now."

Song Lan sat on the office chair, crossed his legs, and said what he had prepared, "Old Lu, our department has a meeting today, so we won't go through with it."

The silly bird is in a mood again.

The corner of Lu Xiang's mouth on the other end of the phone raised slightly. This argument was full of loopholes. First of all, working overtime during lunch break would not happen to Song Lan.

However, she had already predicted Song Lan's prediction.

"Baby~"

She cleared her throat and said in a tone so sweet that it made Song Lan's scalp tingle, "Fanfan, are you hungry?"

"The meeting is dismissed!"

A moment later, Song Lan's pretentious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Just wait, I'll be there in a minute."
