How Am I Still Alive?

"This is my budget plan. It only requires the city government to spend a small amount of money to install 24-hour cameras on main streets, high-crime areas, and official facilities."

When a financial application document was handed over from the Third Special Service Team to the Special Affairs Bureau, and then from the Special Affairs Bureau to the municipal government, people everywhere went crazy.

"Is this guy crazy? Installing cameras in the whole city? He knows how much budget it will cost. Isn't it very expensive? Is it because the camera technology has improved and because it can be produced by itself? No, this is not a question of money, it is simply a matter of money. It’s not about money!!”

The development of the times has made many impossible things possible.

In another timeline, cameras began to be used on a small scale in China in 2000, and became popular around 2004.

Today's ancient city is already at the starting point of a new era in 2001. Not only are the dividends brought by various technological innovations at home and abroad, various "advanced electrical appliances" that were once unimaginable have begun to become cheaper, smaller, and more citizen-oriented. Due to the addition of a large amount of "alien technology", various cross-era products have been brought about.

When spaceships have been successfully analyzed, Earth's technology is also at a very subtle span, including medieval horse-drawn carriages and one-man rockets for individuals to fly to the sky. As long as you have money and connections, you can buy anything. .

And because of the existence of "artisans", it is normal for all kinds of magical modifications and handmade products to crush industrial products, so you don't need to be too surprised when you see anything.

Lu Pingan did not go through the administrative process and handed it over as a formal proposal.

Because he knows that once the decision-making process is started, the internal proposals will be reviewed layer by layer and will eventually reach the desk of a certain decision-maker, requiring him to make a "very bold" decision.

Then, even if others look at your face, it is too easy to delay it for five, six, seven or eight years for various reasons.

but now.

"How dare he hand it over in such a hasty manner and come up with the budget directly, skipping parliament and government decision-making?"

In fact, this kind of hierarchical change has even clearly "infringed" on the rights of citizens. Logically speaking, even if there is no public referendum to collect opinions, there must be a parliamentary vote.

But in fact, Lu Pingan really tried to convince only one person.

"Team Xia, don't hesitate. Is procedural justice more important, or resultant justice? I've already shown you the estimate. It can cut the crime rate to one-tenth within a year. Why are you still hesitating?"

The only one who can stop Lu Ping'an is probably Xia Qin.

".However, this is tantamount to allowing citizens to be constantly stared at in public places. How can everyone accept it?"

"It's like if there are no cameras, no one will know what you have done. Well, I have no choice but to follow the normal procedures, whether it is submitting a proposal to the government or submitting a bill to the city council, within ten years There will definitely be no results, and ten years later, there will probably be no results either."

Lu Pingan knew it well. He had experienced two timelines, and he also knew what needed to be done to improve the "security level" most quickly.

After another timeline, after a certain point in time, the domestic security improved significantly.

In addition to the increase in people's affluence, a more direct reason is that the "detection rate" has also increased significantly. When a crime is almost certain to be arrested and paid, potential criminals will naturally be more hesitant.

In Lu Ping'an's view, the best way to deter criminals and reduce crime rates is never "reasoning" or "persuasion and education," but rather the intimidation effect of "criminals will be held accountable" and "heavy fines or even the death penalty."

“.But, but.. Isn’t this bad? Isn’t it too much?”

At this moment, Xia Qin was also a little helpless.

In her opinion, Lu Pingan was a bit too radical. She trusted Lu Pingan, but Xia Qin couldn't believe the conclusive "data" that Lu Pingan came up with.

After working as a police officer for so many years, she had never seen a city with such a low crime rate.

She felt that Lu Ping'an was trying to make a fool of herself, but she had no evidence.

".I am willing to help you take the blame, but I guess I can't afford it."

Lu Ping'an's plan is actually quite simple and crude, "I won't tell you, I'll do it first."

He directly submitted a budget proposal, not because he really wanted money, but to "inform" that something was going on here.

The "City Eyes" plan does not discuss "whether it is necessary" or "how much value it can bring", but "ah, I have already done it, you can see the effect."

Obviously, this is Lu Ping'an's "walking alone". I'm afraid there's a quarrel among the parliament and the city government now, and I don't know how many people are secretly calling him a tyrant and a dictator.

But stop him? Anyone who has seen his hands-on video and knows him well will not be so courageous.

"Fang Wen, can you control it?" The premise of this plan is always that Lu Ping An has such a "technical back-up".

"Unless there is a mechanical spiritual master stronger than me, but if he dares to come"

"Then let's kill him." Lu Ping'an said firmly. If the problem cannot be solved, then let's solve the person who created the problem.

For a long time before, "advanced technologies" such as cameras were not dared to be installed. The main reason was the existence of mechanical spiritual masters.

The whole city is full of such "convenient devices", which is equivalent to handing over the city to the other party. But if the strongest local mechanical spiritual enlightenment master is one of our own, then there will be no problem.

Lu Ping'an's behavior in this case is no longer to the extent of killing people first, but to the level of directly "arresting people to death without authorization" and then saying "I did a good job".

Sound like a rebellion? In fact, in the eyes of some people, this is already a rebellion.

This clearly demonstrates the behavior of "I will do it, but your objections will be ineffective". It is absolutely correct to say that he is a tyrant.

"If my results are good, everything will be fine. If my results are not good, who can hold me accountable at the rule level?"

Lu Pingan shrugged. He could understand the hesitation and uneasiness of others, because this was indeed a "new life state" for many people.

But if you really get used to it, you don’t want to commit a crime and worry about what those cameras in public places will do.

And as long as the crime rate can only be reduced to a very low level in the end, then everything will be fine, and even other cities will follow suit.

"Look at half a year. If there are no problems, then no. If the effect is excellent, continue. If the effect is average, it's okay to remove them all."

There is no doubt that this was done alone, but the strange thing is that this "budget" went around in a circle, no one said anything about it, and the money was paid directly.

But Lu Ping'an knew that some departments were holding frantic meetings and working overtime these days. It was estimated that they had calculated countless times about this "budget" and what they were going to do.

"What is being spread out now is that I, the new deputy director of the Alien Management Bureau, took office as the new official."

Xia Qin showed a wry smile. It wasn't that she didn't want to take the blame, but she was used to it anyway. She was really worried about the negative social impact of such a hasty implementation.

"What's the problem? The nearly double-digit rule level is here and can solve all problems."

Lu Ping'an was very calm and direct.

He knew he was going too far, but if he really wanted to make the city feel more comfortable and curb the increasing number of refugee crimes and supernatural crimes, this might be the most cost-effective response.

If in another timeline, this kind of low-level government would be almost impossible to succeed alone. But in this world, there are also benefits of bulking. State capitals and cities actually have considerable "governance power."

"As long as the result is good, everything is OK."

Lu Ping'an is so simple and straightforward. No matter how capable he is, he can do great things. Since he already has the ability to take the blame, why should he pretend that he can't see and can't do anything?

Therefore, under the strong pressure of Lu Ping'an, this plan, which was internally evaluated as "a test of a personal tyrant's obedience to the ancient city government," was actually implemented.

On the first day, the crime rate increased by more than 30%.

Yes, it has increased rather than decreased. Many people feel that unrest is coming. Before anything is finalized, those who destroy cameras, take advantage of the situation, and incite uneasy public riots are here.

As a result, the rules and order levels started working overtime overnight in the afternoon of the first day. The prison was overcrowded on the second day, and Lu Ping'an directly began to execute people from "capital crimes" to make room.

On the third day, the crime rate dropped by 50%, and Lu Pingping continued to kill.

On the fourth day, it dropped to 20% of the original level, and some people were still killing. On the fifth, sixth, and seventh days

".The original crime rate is 3.4%, and the expected death penalty is less than 1%. Look, what a simple thing."
