Enforcer's Handbook

No matter from any angle, the founder of Kolo Films was dead, and he died very clearly. Judging from the signs left by the explosion at the scene, Catherine felt that not to mention transplanting a prosthetic body, even if she changed herself into Transformers cannot escape the sanctions of miniature tactical nuclear bombs.

"Maybe the person who died was the substitute?"

Lu Xiang thought of a possibility.

This is a new term she learned while watching a movie with Song Lan on the weekend. This term comes from the pre-war world. In some ancient historical records, some important figures often cultivate people who look similar to themselves in order to guard against assassinations. As stand-ins, let them become the killer's target in their place when necessary.

She still remembers that the movie was called "Shadow Warrior" and it was an early work of Kolo Films. The protagonist in it was one of the stand-ins for an important figure. However, in the end, due to the dismal market response, the series was not continued.

However, the existence of these substitutes gave Lu Xiang some new ideas.

In 2167, the cost of cultivating avatars has been greatly reduced. They no longer need to undergo years of cultivation and training. Dr. Bai Zhu said that as long as their consciousness is uploaded to the Internet and downloaded to each clone, they will be able to produce clones. Create a large number of substitutes.

What makes Lu Xiang feel quite strange is that in the incident in District 1, neither the chairman of the review board nor those important council members used this technology.

Catherine's eyes lit up, "You mean clones?"

Her students can always bring her some new ideas. "Human cloning technology did prevail in the core area for a period of time before. It was the first attempt by senior officials to achieve immortality."

Theoretically speaking, as long as this technology is used properly, it can indeed continue human consciousness, and even give parliamentarians the possibility of rejuvenating their youth. For this reason, researchers once built a terminal for storing personality data. They call it the "Sea of ​​Souls."

"But during the research on the 'Sea of ​​Souls' and cloning technology, the senior management backed down. Do you know why?"

"For individuals, death remains inevitable and may even accelerate their death."

Lu Xiang's answer surprised Catherine. She took a deep look at her student, who answered as if he had experienced that era.

But in terms of time, Lu Xiang was not born yet, and even Catherine herself only learned the inside story after joining the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau and becoming an official.

Lu Xiang added, "The essence of this technology is not continuation, but copy and paste. Once there are younger and healthier individuals, the old body loses its meaning of existence."

She and Baizhu had discussed this issue specifically. The other party mentioned that many years after the project was stopped, some researchers had contacted her privately, hoping that Baizhu could revive the project in the Sixth Neutral Country.

"Completely correct."

Catherine nodded with satisfaction. Lu Xiang always made her satisfied in all aspects, which made her feel more and more that the investigation bureau's failure to recruit Lu Xiang was a major mistake. "Although researchers advocate that the uploaded consciousness will be in the "soul" "The Sea" has been properly preserved, and it is as simple as replacing the prosthetic body for them, but the senior officials are aware of the threat this plan poses to them."

She paused and said, "Perhaps from the perspective of the coalition government, this is a great technological innovation, but few people have such awareness. I recently discovered that the longer people live, the more afraid they are of death. Take everything from them.”

This is what Catherine sees.

In fact, those who control the coalition government are still the original founders. Biopharmaceuticals and prosthetic technology have extended their lifespan, allowing them to generally live to be over 150 years old, and they still invest huge amounts in these fields every year. Manpower and material resources are needed to make them live longer.

However, biopharmaceutical technology has now entered a bottleneck period, and there has been no breakthrough progress for several years.

"As far as I know, all researchers who participated in the "Sea of ​​Souls" project at that time were closely monitored by the intelligence agencies of the coalition government. If the founder of Kolo Films really used this technology, you still have to Finding out that the force behind him was able to create a clone in such a short period of time means that they have a biological laboratory in District 4."

Lu Xiang noticed the details in Catherine's words and asked, "The Investigation Bureau doesn't plan to continue?"

"I am no longer Venus' teacher, Lu Xiang."

Catherine sighed, "I can only listen to what the superiors say about many things. Now they just want to close the case as soon as possible."

Just like she couldn't decide whether to hire Lu Xiang from the Bureau of Investigation, she didn't decide to continue following up on the case.

Allowing Lu Xiang to enter the explosion site was already an illegal operation. If her immediate boss found out about this, another verbal warning would probably be inevitable.

But the stronger the reaction from above, the more uneasy she felt.

This made Catherine wonder how many people besides the founders of Khloe Films were using this technology?

"If nothing else happens, I will be removed from this case and put on forced leave."

Catherine smiled bitterly. This was a common method used by the Bureau to deal with disobedient employees. In the past, Agent Angre-Saffron was a frequent visitor to the Bureau who received special treatment. Now his wanted order is still on the bulletin board of the General Bureau. on the wall.

There is news that he escaped to the "outside world" not long ago, and it is unknown what his current situation is now.

While talking, a hover car with the Bureau of Investigation logo on the door slowly drove into the scene.

"Here they are."

Catherine was well prepared for this and said, "This is probably the last tip the teacher can give you, classmate Lu Xiang, if you still care about the truth, I'm afraid you will have to investigate it yourself."

………………………………

At the same time, Song Lan, who was resting on the hotel bed, received a report from the worried Mr. Gu. He claimed that a suspicious person had contacted Monica privately. They were suspected of being a criminal gang that abducted ignorant girls. He was single and hoped that Can get help from the law enforcers in District 17.

The agreed time was in the afternoon, and the location was the coffee shop where the explosion occurred yesterday.

After the Kolo Films building was destroyed, law enforcement officers sealed off the entire neighborhood. Mr. Igu believed that it was the perfect place to kidnap and traffic in ignorant girls.

If Song Lan hadn't personally experienced yesterday's incident, she would have believed the other party's evil intentions.

If he guessed correctly, the ignorant girl the other party was talking about was probably the terrorist who detonated a miniature tactical nuclear bomb in the villa area yesterday.

The only thing that puzzles Song Lan is that until now, the coalition government has not issued a wanted order for Monica.

Based on Song Lan's understanding of the coalition government, they should also let Monica take the blame for the death of "Heisha".

Killing national rescuers, as well as senior executives and founders of Khloe Films.

Coupled with the series of terrorist activities she has engaged in, the bounty will start at least eight figures, and may even exceed everyone's good friend Mr. "Mouse".

However, the current information given by the Fourth District Law Enforcement Department is that the prisoner is at large, and they are still working hard to investigate.

They couldn't even put the blame on Troy, who had already been arrested.

On the one hand, the hacker of this private killer organization is still in a coma, and on the other hand, he cannot carry out the assassination of the founder of Kolo Films while being locked up in the bureau.

The law enforcers in District 4 are so worried about this that they should be in urgent need of a hero falling from the sky to help them take the blame and solve the case.

Out of her duty as a law enforcer, Song Lan finally agreed to Mr. Gu's request.

After the two met, another tug-of-war was inevitable.

This time, Song Lan stuck to her principle and insisted on returning the two gold cards handed over by Gustav. This move aroused the attention of the customers of the tea restaurant. After all, the two grown men were in broad daylight. It was a bit rare to pull and pull like a wrestler. The anxious waiter stood aside for a long time, but was unable to intervene.

The tea restaurant is equipped with air conditioning and free WIFI. It was a place specially chosen by Gustav after observation.

After the two took their seats, Song Lan learned what happened this morning.

Someone contacted Monica in the name of her father, hoping to meet in the afternoon.

Monica was not the type to get carried away on impulse. She told Gustav about the incident as soon as he came back, and planned to set up an ambush in turn.

Gustav also fully demonstrated his cautious side. After being unable to contact Qi He all night, he knew that the situation had changed. However, their current manpower was limited, and almost no one in the organization except him was on the front line. In District 4, in order to avoid becoming a stepping stone for unknown enemies, he decisively adopted the tactic of calling his friends and dialed Song Lan's phone.

Rely on friends when you are away from home. This sentence is very inspiring at any time.

Song Lan had to look at the man in front of her with admiration again.

Not everyone can always maintain a cautious code of conduct. Strong power is often a curse. It is easy for people to adopt A-up tactics when their minds are hot. At this point, the six-star coalition government is known as the strongest The "Emperor" known as the savior is a negative example.

In the first area, he paid a heavy price for fighting the botanists single-handedly.

Song Lan felt that Gustav's spirit deserved recognition. After all, this incident was likely to involve existences at the RT1-RT3 level. It was better to ask him for help beforehand than to have him recover from the body or Monica after the incident. The results of the abduction were used to conduct brain-burning analysis.

Not only that, he also got a free lunch.

Before the agreed time arrived, the two of them climbed over the isolation zone early and hid in the dark.

Gustav guessed that asking Monica out at this juncture was probably a counterattack by the founders of Kolo Films. They were not in a hurry to release all the pictures of Monica's wanted poster.

After getting the news that the two were in place, Monica also arrived at the agreed place as promised.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the uneasy atmosphere quietly spread in the silence.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure appeared in the sight of the two of them.

Unlike the killer they imagined, the visitor spent a lot of effort just avoiding the law enforcement officers patrolling the perimeter. He looked to be in his early forties and dressed like a company employee who had just gotten off work.

It is conservatively estimated that Monica can fight several of these people without them having to take action.

Song Lan turned her face sideways and glanced at Gustave suspiciously.

However, Gustav next to him had a look of astonishment on his face. He murmured to himself, "This... is impossible."

"What's impossible?"

"He is Monica's father, but didn't he long ago..."

"The one who was hit by a car bomb?"

Song Lan looked at the man a few more times.

"Qi He investigated the files and sent people to check the scene and confirmed the news of his death. The same goes for Monica's mother. Kolo Films does not intend to leave anyone alive."

Monica seemed stunned by this result.

The expected battle did not come, but instead entered a long and smooth conversation.

Not long after the man entered the coffee shop, Monica unilaterally cut off the voice communication. Song Lan and Gustave could only see the two of them finding a ruins and sitting down.

"Monica is a careful child and she is not easily fooled."

Gustav spoke plausibly, but to Song Lan's ears, it sounded more like he was trying to convince himself.

From the perspective of an outsider who holds a neutral perspective, the atmosphere of the conversation between Monica and his father was not tense. The conversation was mainly dominated by middle-aged men. Song Lan guessed that the man was explaining to Monica why he was there. After his "death", he left no news and disappeared for so many years.

The conversation lasted for nearly half an hour, and no physical conflict broke out during this period. It was not until the man left that Monica sat on the dilapidated ruins without saying a word, with a very disappointed look in her eyes.

In Song Lan's view, Gustave acted more like an anxious old father at this time, witnessing the entire process of his daughter's encounter with a gang of human traffickers.

The person who tried to abduct Monica was her biological father who had died many years ago in a car bomb incident.

"From an absolutely fair and impartial perspective, you are more like a member of a kidnapping gang."

Song Lan expressed her opinion, "Are you sure that Monica's father was indeed killed in a car bomb?"

"Sure."

Gustave answered without any hesitation.

"Where's the evidence?"

"...The evidence is at Qihe's place."

"So, have you seen any evidence that actually proves this?"

"No...are you doubting us?"

"It doesn't matter what I think."

Song Lan shook her head, "The important thing is that Monica will ask you the same question soon. How do you plan to prove that what she just saw and heard is false?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's figure drifted away and soon disappeared around the corner of the street.

And at this moment, the long-broken contact was connected.

"Where is Qihe?"

Monica stated her intention directly, "I want to see him."

Thanks to my friend who stayed up too late and tipped me 100 starting coins!

Small theater one hundred and ninety-eight:

Tuesday, a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, noon.

With the wedding approaching, Lu Xiang made some small plans.

After some careful consideration, she decided it was time to put having a baby on the agenda.

She never goes into battle unprepared. Early the next morning, she bought a complete set of parenting books from the Internet. These tutorials replaced the "Daily Love Tips" series and became her new daily must-read. books.

On the other side, Madele and Bai Zhu have already decided on the time and venue. This time, only internal staff have been invited, and insect swarm leaders from all over the country will come to participate.

Lu Xiang thought about it and finally decided to set the location in District 17.

This is a city that means a lot to her, and it also makes her feel that life is really full of wonderful encounters.

She was rejected by the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau and transferred to a border city with extremely poor public security environment. This should have been the darkest moment in her life, but she met Song Lan in this small border town.

"Song Lan."

She closed the book and called the other person.

Song Lan, who was lying on the table and taking a nap in the sun, narrowed her eyes.

Lu Xiang vaguely remembered that when he first went to the logistics department to check the work, Song Lan was lying lazily on his desk like he is now.

"Um?"

"Medale has already sent the wedding dress, don't forget to take pictures in the afternoon."
