At the same time, somewhere in District 17.
"Stop it, there are all law enforcers outside."
"Everyone has almost arrived."
"Let's do it."
"According to the agreement, this news will be on the headlines of major media in half an hour."
"Stop, what do you want to do!?"
"Don't think you can leave District 17 alive if you kill us!"
"Click——"
After a soft sound, the room returned to calm.
The man sitting at the table recorded the time on a sticky note after turning off the sophisticated playback device:
May 6, 2166, from 19:23:37 to 19:25:14.
The man placed the sticky note that recorded the time together with the previous seven identical sticky notes and compared them.
In less than two minutes, a total of 6 lines of dialogue appeared, each from four people.
From these six lines of dialogue, it is not difficult to judge the general situation at the scene when the crime occurred. At present, we can exclude the female hostage who was knocked unconscious. She has not woken up after being knocked unconscious by Chai Ke's men.
"Really, I'm still on vacation!"
The woman in the room lazily crossed her legs and applied nail polish and complained dissatisfiedly.
The tall man standing next to her like a door god advised, "Stop complaining. No matter what, the ones who died are still members of the Foster family."
"The person who can be sent to a place like District 17 is probably not an important person in the family."
The woman replied without raising her head, "Isn't it common for some refugees from small and remote cities to try their best to get involved with big families in core areas? I really don't know what happened from above to make us You come all night to a place where birds don’t poop!”
"Ange Foster is just a small character."
The man holding the post-it note interrupted the conversation between the two. The woman wanted to say something, but after looking at the former, she obediently closed her mouth and her eyes drifted elsewhere.
"The key is Chai Ke. On the surface, this is a retaliatory action he took against local law enforcement after escaping from prison." The man looked at the short two-minute conversation without any personal emotion, " Once this incident hits the news, it will undoubtedly embarrass the local law enforcement officers, but there is also a message hidden in their conversation - Chai Ke asked another person for permission before taking action."
"So, someone wants to use Chai Ke's help to get rid of Anjie Foster, and then let Chai Ke take the blame alone?"
"I'm afraid Chai Ke is seeking Anjie Foster's opinion."
The man's words were so shocking that the other two people in the room did not react for a moment.
What the hell?
An Jie was directly shot in the head by Chai Ke during the case, and her body is still lying in the morgue of the law enforcement department.
Would a high-ranking prosecutor with a prosperous local career order a desperado to blow his own head off?
This is somewhat unreasonable no matter how you think about it.
“It’s all about the sound.”
After comparing the sounds collected at the scene seven times, he finally discovered something fishy. "The source of the sound was wrong. When the other hostages were talking, Anjie was not in line with them."
"But her body was found next to the unconscious hostage."
"Her hands were tied behind her back, and her head was covered with a cloth bag, but her mouth was not gagged. As the fourth hostage, she didn't say a word in these two minutes. She is from the Foster family. The members’ will to survive is too weak.”
"It's possible she was knocked unconscious from the start."
"It is impossible for an unconscious person to move several meters in less than one second and then be shot."
The man slowly closed his eyes, and in his mind he had constructed the location of everyone present in less than two minutes based on the contents of the recording.
"There are four hostages in total, and there is a distance of more than four meters between Anjie and Chai Ke..."
Then, the picture he constructed in his mind began to move.
The moment Chai Ke pulled the trigger, the two hostages beside his target began to crawl towards a corner of the room. In less than a second, Anjie crossed the distance of more than four meters and became a He became the scapegoat for the person who should have taken the bullet.
Later, Anjie Foster was shot to death, and Chai Ke and his men were shot through the chest directly from behind, and they were also killed instantly.
The man's colleagues finally followed his words and realized the seriousness of the problem, and a creepy feeling suddenly came to their hearts.
Someone killed everyone in the house in less than a second, including a wanted criminal with a bounty of 620,000 and a 21% degree of prosthetic transformation!
Considering that Anjie Foster's meeting with Chai Ke may have been authorized by her family, the real mission of their trip was to find the person who disappeared from the scene.
The woman's action of applying nail polish froze in mid-air, and the chill in her heart could not dissipate for a long time.
If you want to find that person, you must figure out what happened in that brief second.
This is bound to be a sleepless night.
…
The next morning, Song Lan was awakened by a rapid alarm.
He faced the rising sun and stretched out comfortably. The biggest advantage of moving to Lu Xiang's house was that he could have a good sleep every day.
At least he doesn't have to worry about criminals from District 17 storming into the home of the head of the law enforcement department to cause trouble.
The other good news is that he doesn't have to go to work today.
After sending a message to the section chief to ask for leave, he searched for information on the nearest prosthetic hospital.
Yesterday, he had agreed to Lu Xiang's promise and even took someone else's salary card. He obviously had to go to the prosthetic hospital this time.
But that doesn't mean he's actually going to cut open his arm and transform himself into a cyborg.
As the saying goes, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. He began to think of a reason that would make Lu Xiang feel that he wanted to make changes, but in the end, due to various irresistible reasons, things backfired.
Just like when he was in college, he really wanted to go to morning classes, but in the end he was unable to go to the classroom due to irresistible factors such as stomachache.
Song Lan has always felt that pretending to be sick is always the best shield. Even if the methods of 2020 are used in 2166, they will not be outdated.
However, the reason for stomachache is definitely untenable. He will have to improve his special skills. For example, after he went to the prosthetic hospital for a comprehensive examination, he unexpectedly discovered that he was suffering from some kind of disease. A disease that will lead to death once a prosthetic body is implanted.
Song Lan had poor medical knowledge and Lu Xiang would definitely spot it if he casually made up a disease. Therefore, he needed to cooperate with experts from the prosthetic hospital to cooperate.
With the official certification given by experts that "you will die as soon as you undergo prosthetic transformation," Lu Xiang will probably not say anything more.
He was sincerely pleased with his own wit.
After praising herself in her heart, Song Lan locked in one of the prosthetic hospitals.
The decision is yours!
The Sanxun Prosthetic Hospital was once complained for collecting illegal money from patients!
Hurry up and collect my black money, and then turn me into a special patient who will die as soon as I undergo prosthetic transformation!
