Several hours have passed since the evening news, and the news of the deaths of Chief Prosecutor Anjie Foster and Chaiko is still unfolding. Not only the citizens of the 17th District, but also people from other districts have joined in the fight. Under discussion.
Through the explanations from enthusiastic netizens, Song Lan realized the seriousness of the problem.
For example, Grand Prosecutor Anjie Foster has a good background. She is a member of the Foster family in the core area. The Foster family is extremely powerful and has three jurisdictions of its own. It dominates the adjudication office. Since the establishment of the coalition government, Almost every adjudicator since has been a direct descendant of the Foster family.
Another example is that Chai Ke has a bounty of 620,000 on his head. He once committed 11 crimes in the 17th District that were worthy of being sentenced to death. And even though he was saddled with a huge bounty, Chai Ke had dared to appear in the police station as if no one else was around. In public places in District 17, law enforcement is regarded as nothing. Because of this, he has been dubbed by the citizens as the most vicious criminal in recent years.
Not long ago, Chai Ke was arrested during a siege, and it was because of this incident that Anjie Foster transformed from an incompetent official to a city hero.
Song Lan had only heard of their names, but upon closer inspection, she discovered that these two people had such great connections.
In other words, this matter may not be easily dealt with.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the law enforcement department has issued a statement that the suspect will be caught within a week; Chai Ke's younger brother and business partners also made a statement that they must first find the person who killed Chai Ke and let that person No body is left intact; although the Foster family has not made any comment on the death of Anjie Foster, if you think about it with your toes, they will not be able to easily let go of those who are against them.
Sitting in front of the computer screen, Song Lan's young mind was greatly hurt.
Life finally took action against him, an honest man.
For ordinary people living in 2166, this is undoubtedly a dark era.
The high crime rate and the unemployment rate of 33% make every ordinary person live in dire straits.
As a migrant worker from 2020, Song Lan's only current goal is to stabilize her current leisurely and high-paying job, save enough money to find a place far away from right and wrong, and live a leisurely retirement life.
This was Song Lan's ideal in 2020. Unfortunately, before he could realize this ideal, he was inexplicably transported to the year 2166, where he could encounter nine criminals every time he went out.
After a period of online learning, Song Lan became more determined to live a low-key life.
Because in 2166, a special group of super humans appeared.
Netizens gave those people the title of "rescuers" and established fan-oriented websites for them. They firmly believed that rescuers were heroes who led people out of darkness.
Although the law enforcement department of District 17 has not yet had anyone pass the rescuer assessment, this does not prevent Song Lan from realizing the power of those super humans from the Internet. He feels that those people are just short of writing "invincible" on themselves. On the face.
In addition to the rescuers who are active in the core area, edge cities like the 17th District also gather a large number of ruthless characters who can make children cry at night. Only in the first half of the year did the department count the bounties that appeared in the 17th District. There are seven criminals who exceed 500,000.
Every time Song Lan saw these introductions on the Internet, he felt that this era was really scary. He didn't want to deal with these ruthless characters who would give him nightmares when he slept.
While lamenting that this era was too scary, Song Lan did not forget to put the food in the pot to heat it.
He heard the roar of the hover car landing, which meant that Lu Xiang would be home in less than two minutes.
Not long after, the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole came from behind him.
"I'm back."
Song Lan turned around after hearing the sound. Lu Xiang had untied the ribbon that tied up his hair. His long chestnut hair fell down immediately. His cold eyes became much softer after moving to Song Lan. .
Then she seemed to suddenly remember something, her red lips parted slightly, she straightened her arms in a slightly stiff movement, showing a stretching movement, and her voice without any emotion was drawn out, "Huh, I'm really exhausted today. It’s—”
Song Lan stepped forward to greet him. He always felt that the tone of Lu Xiang's speech seemed a bit abnormal today.
In his impression, Lu Xiang has always been serious to the point of being a bit rigid. She is taciturn when she is not working, and usually only greets him with her eyes when she comes home.
He took the bag from the other party anxiously, and then——
"Snapped."
Because the zipper of the bag was not closed, a small booklet fell to the ground.
"A Love Tip Every Day".
"ah."
"ah."
The two of them stared at the objects on the ground, and they uttered a single tone in unison, and a suffocating silence spread in the room.
In the end, it was Song Lan who broke the awkward atmosphere, but his tone became a little unnatural, "Today we have braised pork ribs and dry pot potatoes."
"Um."
Lu Xiang nodded, expressionlessly snatched the bag from Song Lan's hand, bent down to pick up the book, quickly stuffed it in as if nothing happened.
Then, the two of them tacitly focused on the steaming meal.
Cooking skills are one of the few things Song Lan brought in 2020 that can be put to use. It is also the product of coercion and inducement from her parents. It is said that cooking well will help find a wife.
If you look at the results alone, it does seem to make some sense.
But the couple never dreamed that cooking would become a lost skill in 2166.
The main reason is that people these days don't need to cook for themselves. They can just give themselves a shot of nutrients when they wake up every day to maintain energy throughout the day.
Under the impact of technology, chefs have become a rare profession that can only be seen in the upper class in the core area.
Song Lan did find a girlfriend because of this incident.
At first, he planned to follow the locals and use injections to solve his food and clothing problems. However, as a young man from the 2020th century, he felt uncomfortable after only using injections for three days.
Originally, it was bad enough for a person to arrive in 2166, a place he was unfamiliar with. He couldn't even get a meal when he returned home. So what's the point of living this life?
So in order to make food for herself, Song Lan spent a lot of time purchasing kitchen utensils and ingredients online.
Things that could be seen everywhere in the past have become luxuries these days. If it weren't for the good salary in the law enforcement department, he might really be reduced to the point where he can't even afford to eat.
He still remembered that when he was cooking for the first time, he was bumped into by Lu Xiang. It was hard to say whether the latter saw the things he bought online in the department.
Since then, Lu Xiang often came to inspect the work on the grounds of "discussing work," "just passing by," and "the weather is nice today."
Perhaps after eating and drinking for a while, Lu Xiang felt guilty, so not long ago, she asked him to move in with her because her house was quite big.
To be honest, he agreed to Lu Xiang's invitation just to save some money on rent.
But the situation couldn't keep up with the change later. After the two of them got along day and night for a period of time, Lu Xiang suddenly expressed her feelings to him seriously one night.
Song Lan still remembers the scene of that night, not only because it was the first time in his life that he was confessed to by the opposite sex, but also because Lu Xiang spoke without any warning. When she spoke, she even held a bag brought back from the department in her hand. file.
"I'm single and you are single too. How about we give it a try?"
With that aura and tone, Song Lan almost mistakenly thought that she was participating in a job interview.
Although the process was somewhat beyond his expectation, he got a stable job, found a girlfriend, and everything seemed to be on the right track...
But Song Lan never expected that God would open a window for him on the surface, but in fact he was going to drive an excavator to tear down his house.
He just came home from get off work as usual and prepared the meal before his girlfriend came home as usual. As a result, he was inexplicably involved in this incident.
"...Song Lan."
Lu Xiang was in such an anxious mood today that the delicious food no longer tasted good.
The main reason is that the skills provided in "A Little Tip for Love Every Day" have failed. According to the scene described in the book, after she stretches and laments the fatigue of the day, the two of them will do something under the pressure of the atmosphere. An act of intimacy that only occurs between lovers.
However, she has never been one to give up easily.
It is also mentioned in "A Love Tip Every Day" that praise and compliments can quickly shorten the distance between lovers.
"Um?"
Hearing Lu Xiang's call, Song Lan in front of the kitchen counter turned around and stared at him with strange eyes.
"The food is delicious, like, like...braised short ribs."
"But today's dinner is braised pork ribs."
"oh."
Lu Xiang nodded dullly and made up his mind secretly.
After finishing this case, it's better to go to the bookstore and buy a copy of "The Beginner's Praise Manual".
