Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

9:25 am

Cheers filled every lively street in the city. Just a few minutes ago, two passed bills had appeared on the Congress page. The issue of pricing power that businessmen are most concerned about will soon be decided by the Executive Committee and Councilors worked together to complete the repairs.

This pricing power, which is crucial for businessmen, can finally be repaired.

However, these cheers soon began to stop, because another amendment to the Trinity Law submitted and passed by Alpha Angus, the chief of the 5th Public Security Management Section, made many people feel worried.

After the Trinity Law is completely repaired, all members of the Action Section will be equipped with weapons. The most shocking one is that members of the Action Section have the right and obligation to stop any crime on the street, and they can choose the method of stopping according to the crime situation. In the worst case, they can shoot.

Discussions began. These were two bills passed yesterday. One of them made the whole city excited, but the other made many people in the city question why the councilors did not stop it.

The Hydera case was revealed again, and some news media immediately mentioned the case. Some people felt that the current business control was already strict enough, and adding weapons would only make this control even more stringent.

There are different opinions, and it has been said in the news that more details will not be known until the repair of the Trinity Law is completed, and the public is urged not to worry too much.

Classes have already begun in Junjie School, which is located above the middle class and close to the upper class family area in the east.

"Can't you get up?"

Leona looked at Nia who was curled up in the quilt angrily, still looking like she didn't want to get up. Ivy was ready to continue teaching Nia's class.

"If you sleep a little longer, you can stay up until late last night."

Nia said lazily, and Leona pulled off Nia's quilt.

"Don't you get up very early on weekdays?"

Looking at Niya who was still face down and not planning to get up, Leona planned to pour water directly on her, but Ivy came over and stopped her.

"Let her lie down for another half hour."

As Ivy said, she pulled Leona over and called up the Congress page. The two looked at it carefully. This is a real-time course in the school in recent months. Students are required to provide their own understanding and thinking on the passed bills. .

The two began to look at each other seriously. At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room. Leona adjusted the light and shadow panel randomly and saw Jewell and Ji Mo standing at the door.

The door to the room opened, and a scent came in. Niya climbed up on the bed. Leona hurried over and wanted to take the large box of food that Jewell was carrying first, but was blocked by Niya grabbed it first.

"I told you Niya, if you can't finish today's class, you're not allowed to eat."

Ivy grabbed the excited Leona. Niya was wearing a sports vest and a pair of boxers with a smile and had already started eating. Jewell smiled helplessly.

"Niya, I have to take leave today. I may not come back for several days."

Ji Mo also nodded.

"What are you doing on leave?"

As soon as Leona asked, she immediately understood and hurriedly said sorry.

Today is an extremely important day for Jewell. The marriage issues caused by Wilsey's death will be settled today. A bill to include family marriages under the control of marriage laws has appeared on the page of Congress and is in progress. .

"I plan to wait at the General Affairs Department."

Jewell said, Niya raised her hand and waved.

"Come on."

Jewell nodded and walked out with Ji Mo. Ji Mo will also go home. Today, most of his relatives are here, and his mother is in the hall of Congress. Ji Mo plans to go back home, and now the family has already It's a mess.

Looking at the two people leaving, Leona felt relieved from the two of them. The two of them were a little different from the past. Today is an extremely important day for many people.

When Jewell and Ji Mo arrived at the door, they got into the waiting cars.

As soon as Jewell got in the car, his uncle Chen Qiao next to him started laughing.

"Come on Xiaojie, I'm sure you can do it today."

Both uncle and nephew had pleasant smiles on their faces.

The General Affairs Department was extremely busy in the early morning. Everyone was busy working on what happened on Qinglong Street yesterday, and there were many problems to deal with.

Yin Xianglin got up early in the morning and has been busy from 6:30 to now. Most of the damage accounting documents are still being sent.

The matter on Qinglong Street must be settled as soon as possible, so that people in the city can be informed as soon as possible after the results of the next bill in Congress are announced. This bill is of concern to many people in the city.

Looking at Michelle sitting on the sofa and reading a book quietly, Yin Xianglin smiled happily.

boom

The door to the room was pushed open, and a director of the General Affairs Department hurried in.

"Lord Xiang Rin, decisive evidence has been found in Quasimodo's case."

For a moment, Yin Xianglin stood up in surprise, his eyes full of suspicion.

"so fast?"

Yin Xianglin quickly followed the director out, and soon she brought up a light and shadow screen, on which CBV reporters who were allowed to enter the scene by Section 2 were reporting.

In the video, a man who looked very bad and was injured was walking at the scene.

A processed evidence has been found by Section 2 and the local Section 5. The man who identified Guan Wei is called Pete, who is Melanda's former agent.

The evidence was found in Guan Wei's home. According to reports, Guan Wei had a special hobby and would collect body parts of victims. Indeed, many body parts of victims were found from Guan Wei's home.

Yin Xianglin had paid close attention to this case. She always felt that something was wrong, because the 2nd Division had secretly searched Guan Wei's residence before but found nothing. But this time, it was Peter who directly identified Guan Wei. As for Guan Wei's body, He was injured and was attacked by a group of unidentified thugs.

The scene of the attack was also released. On the night after Quasimodo caused such a large-scale commotion, Peter was attacked by an unknown person. If it were not for the passing Section 5, he would have died.

Things have been clearly presented, but Yin Xianglin still feels strange, or why everything seems so coincidental. Sure enough, a conviction letter for the closed case has been submitted. He only needs to review and approve it before it can be released. , but Yin Xianglin hesitated, every detail seemed to be deliberately designed.

This matter obviously skipped the section chief and was handled by the secretaries. Moreover, at the juncture of the city meeting, Section 5 had already started the detention process after the crime caused damage, directly blocked several companies under Guan Wei and dismissed them. Everyone in the company.

According to the following procedures, once the losses are calculated, Guan Wei will need to bear part of the losses, and he himself will be convicted.

Just when Yin Xianglin hesitated, a call came over.

"Sister C, what's wrong?"

"Xiang Lin, hurry up and approve the case so that we can convict you. Everyone will be very busy these days."

Yin Xianglin thought for a while and then said oh.

"I see."

Looking at the crime case submitted in front of him, Yin Xianglin finally approved it.

At this time, in a cell in the Public Security Office of District 1, K squatted in front of Guan Wei, who was covered in injuries, with a smile.

"Hurry up. Just sign the confession and leave the rest to us."

"You can't do this. I admit that Melanda's death is related to me, but I don't know about the deaths of these other people at all. I beg you."

K smiled and nodded.

"Okay, hurry up, if you can't sign, fingerprints will do."

As he spoke, K pressed Guan Wei's hand, raised his hands, and pressed his fingerprints on the crime confession.

Guan Wei cried and howled. He raised his hands and looked at K who walked out of the cell. At this time, Jill next to the cell looked solemn.

"There's nothing you can do about it. Don't think about unnecessary things."

Gil hummed and glanced at the cell with an embarrassed expression.

"Everything will be settled after today."

"This kind of thing! Maybe I shouldn't stop Quasimodo, maybe let him go."

K shook his head.

"If you don't stop it, this will be a dereliction of duty on our part. Do you remember when we were in school, the other two guys and I often went on missions?"

Gil nodded. He had known it for a long time. They all went out to solve some shameful things. Everyone knew this kind of thing, but no one had ever said it out loud. This was the first time K had told him so much. .

"I didn't tell you these things before. You should know, Jill. Some things have to be done by someone."

9:36 am

Jean carried Mo Xiaolan on his back and landed on the hard ground in the barrier area. There was a trace of sunlight on the edge, but one step forward revealed a gray-black world.

Mo Xiaolan yawned. She really didn't want to come. After Jean put her down, Mo Xiaolan put on a thick coat and started to tremble. Jean was carrying a heavy box with only one hand. This time they Came out with the equipment.

"You can obviously wait until my vacation is over before going, bastard Jean, aren't you worried about Alpha?"

Gene smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it in the breeze, then shook his head.

"I have taught her everything I can teach her, and the rest is her own business."

"So heartless."

At this time, Mo Xiaolan took out his mobile phone and brought up a light and shadow screen. When he came here, there was no network. It was some related points that appeared during the small-scale cleaning of the barrier area led by K. Some crazy things were discovered among them. people.

Jean carried Mo Xiaolan on his back and quickly started moving in the cold wind. In less than 10 minutes, they arrived at the stronghold that K had cleaned before. In the burned warehouse, you could still see those things After Mo Xiaolan asked Gene to take out the instrument, the two of them went over to inspect the corpse.

"Sure enough, there must be somewhere in this place where crops can be grown."

After a while, Mo Xiaolan detected some plant fiber and starch from the hardened excrement.

According to the measurement on the machine, it was estimated that it was eaten and excreted a month ago. At this time, Jean discovered a female corpse, and Mo Xiaolan also walked over.

"There was surgery here."

As Mo Xiaolan said, Gene forcefully opened the female corpse's left hand.

Click

Following a crisp sound of metal breaking, both of them were stunned for a moment. After continued inspection, they found that the left hand of the female corpse was actually made of metal.

"What is happening here needs to be investigated clearly."

Gene said, taking out a cigarette and lighting it. Mo Xiaolan looked at the female corpse suspiciously. It looked like someone was conducting research on some kind of mechanical body, but in such a simple environment in the barrier area, what did he think? It's also impossible.

"Let's go, lazy boy."

As Gene said, Mo Xiaolan stood up and climbed on Gene's back. The two planned to continue deep into the barrier area and conduct a comprehensive investigation.

9:45

In the Congress Hall, Honghong, who had finished her break, stepped onto the stage again. Osman, the chief of Section 3 opposite, was already waiting.

"Miss Honghong, I just hope you can consider one question. Our department has had business dealings with many families in the past, and there have been too many unpleasantnesses in these dealings. The family has now built various bridges through marriage. There are all kinds of complicated factions, and this kind of complicated factions will affect all aspects."

"Your Excellency Osman, what is the direct connection between this matter and the family's marriage?"

Honghong asked fearfully, and Osman said with a smile.

"Take our orders for equipment and weapons from Section 3 as an example. There have been too many unpleasantnesses in the past few years. The quality of the goods is not up to standard, the goods may be delivered incorrectly or missed, and there have been frequent push-backs."

"Isn't this because the order price given by your 3rd Section is too low? As far as I know, most of the family's factories have produced some weapons and equipment for your 3rd Section over the years, and the profits are almost zero."

Osman nodded.

"It is true that the price given by our 3rd Division is too low, but this is not the fundamental reason. Tax subsidies have been given to these factories and there are tax reduction measures, but the overall intricate relationship between the married families has led to these problems. It happens frequently. Let me give you the simplest example. This kind of nepotism among families. The parts required to manufacture a gun may be jointly manufactured by more than ten families. If uniformity cannot be achieved, it will naturally appear. problem, but in fact the family’s approach is to try to get us to raise the price in 3 departments.”

In an instant, Honghong's face became serious.

"I hope you can bring valid evidence to His Excellency Osman, otherwise"

Soon Osman provided a video. The video was shot from a very secret angle. Some family members and businessmen were sitting together and discussing how to get 3ke to increase the price.

Because of the nepotism in the family, many people in Section 3 worked together with their family members in the past and made a lot of money. However, after the last incident where the criminals fled collectively, all this came to an abrupt end. More than 200 people Several regional section officers were immediately dismissed from their posts and all were imprisoned.

Later, in order to be able to deal with the problem of the family raising prices from time to time, the Xingke Branch gave some ordinary businessmen the qualifications to produce weapons, but the family members leaned in again and united with these businessmen to suppress the 3rd Branch.

Honghong's face became serious. In the video, several members of the family were present. They were blushing and lowering their heads. The families wanted to earn more and repeatedly caused trouble for Section 3.

"Well, Your Excellency Osman, this does not seem to have much to do with the issue we are discussing now."

Osman nodded.

"It is indeed not directly related. I just want to use this example to directly illustrate how harmful the family's current nepotism is to the city. It is not just our three departments, but also many ordinary businessmen. He will inevitably be suppressed by the family alliance."

For a moment, the businessmen in the business gallery cheered, and many people talked about how they suffered huge losses after being jointly suppressed by some family members.

"so."

"etc."

Honghong stopped Osman before he could speak. She knew what Osman wanted to explain, but she had to find a way to get around it now.

However, after much deliberation, Honghong didn't know how to resolve the current crisis.

"Honghong, do you have anything else to say?"

The green god asked, and Honghong looked at Osman opposite with a troubled expression, who was smiling relaxedly.

"Since Miss Honghong has nothing to say, I need to explain one thing. The nepotism caused by family marriage will harm all aspects of the city. Even as managers, we have suffered many hardships in the past few years. The loss is small, let alone ordinary people, so it is imperative to incorporate family marriages into legal management."

Someone kept clapping their hands. However, at this time, Honghong looked at Alpha and some of the section chiefs beside her. She wanted to understand something. The business section did not intend to start with Wilsie's matter at all, but would look at it from the side. It is difficult to refute the harm done to the city over the years because of family marriage problems.

Honghong also figured it out at this time. If she started with the tragic incident of Wilsey, it would be suspected of sympathizing and sensationalizing. The business department had made a plan from the beginning and would not bring out Wilsey's incident.

"I have nothing to say, Your Excellency Osman, Lord Six Gods."

At this time, a large number of family members started making a fuss, and Field and Chen Liang looked solemn.

"Does anyone else on your side plan to speak? Come on, if no one speaks, the voting will begin."

The Red God said, and Field immediately stood up forcefully. Although he knew there was no chance of winning, he still stood on the stage.

"It's my turn!"

Alpha blew out a puff of smoke softly, Osman came down from the stage, and for a moment everyone looked at Alpha.

"The point I want to make is that the establishment of the city and the dedication of our family"

"Because of the city, your family is as glorious as it is today. Please don't confuse the logic with Mr. Field."

Alpha said, took out a cigarette and lit it, after Field thought for a while.

"Marriage is a tradition within our family, so we don't want that tradition to disappear today, at least."

"Tradition? If according to the definition of tradition, today's family tradition has become backward and conservative, and conservative and backward traditions will hinder social change. Please don't use tradition to criticize Mr. Field. I grew up in the family. , the marriages I have seen since childhood are just naked transactions, transactions between two family businesses, and women or forced men are like currency in this marriage transaction. If we say this This is what you call tradition, Mr. Field, so please tell me the difference between currency and people."

Field was speechless and couldn't find any point to refute. At this time, Alpha spoke again.

"Nowadays, our life span has increased too much, and a group of couples may have been together for a hundred years instead of forty or fifty years in the past. In the process of life, friction will inevitably occur, but if you can be with the person of your choice, If you survive, the friction may be much less, but if you choose to live with someone you have never met or have no feelings for, there will be countless marital violence problems. I just asked you, what is the relationship between your family and your family? Are the two parties united in marriage humans or currency? Please answer my question clearly!"

After Field paused for a long time, he turned around and left the stage, and then family members came on stage one after another. However, no matter what they said, they could only shut up in the end and left the stage speechless.

"The voting begins!"

At this time, most of the families were ashen-faced. They watched the number of votes in support rising on the light and shadow screen. The final number of votes was 1,320. This was the number of votes from 120 district councilors and 12 departments. It was unanimously passed.

Alpha seemed to be relieved and returned to his seat. It was already 11 o'clock. The green god also said bluntly that everyone should go to rest and eat. At noon, he would take you to the next topic.

At this time, the members of the parliamentary faction and the people in the administrative department were looking at each other. This result was achieved bit by bit through the efforts of both parties over the years. The next step is the family interview. This is necessary. The city wants to thoroughly To move toward legalization, the immunity of family members must be taken away.

The faces of each family member were ashen. Chen Lian was in extreme pain at this moment. The engagement between her family and the Angus family was broken, and the signed contract was now a waste of paper. As long as Jewell and Niya If both parties are unwilling, no one can interfere.

People kept leaving the seats, but at this moment, the city began to rejoice. The motion was passed, with 10 abstentions and 1,320 votes in favor.

Many people who participated in the activities when they boycotted the family in the past felt relieved, but what most people thought was that the family's immunity would be taken away next.

In the past, criminals from those families were likely to be sent to the Hall of Law for trial.

This is something to be happy about for many people. The family has been protected by immunity for a long time and has done whatever they want. Many people who have been bullied by the family have extremely bright smiles at this moment.

In particular, women from many families have begun to take to the streets of First Avenue to celebrate this decisive moment. The first thing many people think of is divorce. Many women have already communicated with lawyers from the Bar Association. Once a family marriage is regulated by the Marriage Law, they will immediately file for divorce.

"Passed uncle!"

Jewell looked excitedly at the passed motion on the light and shadow screen. Chen Qiao beside him was wiping tears. The uncle and nephew stood in the white and spacious square of the General Affairs Department, quietly looking at the place on the top of the mountain.

"What are you going to do, Xiaojie? Your situation will be very delicate."

"I originally planned to leave the Chen family, but you have to be careful, uncle. They are quite hostile to you now."

Chen Qiao laughed disapprovingly.

"As long as the Food Association does not collapse, and as long as Lao Wu is still in this position, they can't do anything to me."

Jewell looked at his uncle, whom he hadn't seen for more than a month. He felt that there had been some changes in his uncle.

"I will become a successful businessman Xiaojie, if there is any need in the future."

Jewell shook his head.

"Unnecessary uncle, if I accept help from the Chen family, I will always feel sorry for my mother. I will rely on myself."

"what are you planning to do?"

Jewell looked around.

"Find a job first, and then find a way to take the exam for the business department."

"Do you want to go back to school and say hello to your classmates?"

Jewell shook his head.

"I've said hello to everyone early this morning, including Nia."

"I'll take you wherever you want to go."

As Chen Qiao said, Jewel shook his head.

"I want to walk around alone and see the city."

Chen Qiao took out a wad of money from his pocket.

"Although you can do it on your own, you still need some capital."

Jewell shook his head and never took his uncle's money. He ran quickly. Although he was a little impulsive, Jewell had already thought clearly. When carrying his mother's name on his back, Jewell I decided that I must rely on my own hands to make a career in the world.

In his mind, all the teachings his mother had given him since he was a child came to mind. Jewell knew very well that he had not been stained by the shadow of any family member. It was all because his mother had taken him with him since he was very young. Carefully teach your relationship.

Looking at the long stairs at his feet and the city in the distance, Jewell planned to go to a store called Starry Sky located in the 24th district on the middle floor that his mother had told him before, because his mother had said that she It was there that Jewell and his first love met, and Jewell wanted to go and see it.

Because every time my mother talks about this, she always feels a little bit sentimental.

Jewell wanted to follow some of the things that his mother had said to him in the past, follow his mother's trajectory, and go around the city to see some of the things that his mother had said to him.

At this time, Niya stood quietly at the window, looking at the food that had been eaten in the garbage basket. This was sent by Jewell. Niya had mentioned it as her favorite food. She also knew that Jewell He will not come back, he came to say goodbye to himself.

"It's okay not to study today, Niya. Are you really not going to see him? He has been your best friend since childhood, hasn't he?"

Leona asked, and Nia smiled and shook her head.

"You've already said that we are best friends. We may meet again one day. What are best friends? No matter whether it's twenty years, thirty years, or a hundred years, I think nothing will change. !”

Niya quietly looked at the three pots of flowers in the dormitory, which Jean had given them one day, and she smiled softly.

"If you don't want to go, come over quickly to study."
