At the same time, somewhere in District 17.

In a certain inconspicuous little dark room, there are facilities comparable to the law enforcement command center.

Not long after, a woman pushed open the old and dilapidated-looking wooden door and entered the house.

"I found out that Lu Xiang is a graduate of the 111th batch, and he is the top student in the class."

This result can be said to be both unexpected and reasonable. When the three of them witnessed Lu Xiang's method of killing Balna, they vaguely guessed this level of identity.

The unexpected part is that it is difficult for them to imagine that the top students in a certain period will be sent to a small and remote city like District 17 after graduation. This is almost the same as what people said in ancient times. There is no difference in the distribution of borderland.

"I really don't understand what those people are thinking."

The woman couldn't help but complain again.

As classmates, they have all experienced the "learning" process, and naturally they also know the value of being ranked first in each period.

In the past nine years, he has passed countless assessments and wandered on the edge of life and death countless times. In the past, such talents were either directly hired by big families after graduation and became the bodyguards of an important person in the core area, or, like them, their identities were concealed. and name to become a member of the organization.

For Lu Xiang to come to District 17 to be the head of a law enforcement department would be a waste of talent.

"I think it's quite understandable."

The man sitting on the chair said that the news brought back by his companions filled in the last piece of the puzzle for his speculation, "The first thing Lu Xiang did after he parachuted into District 17 was to plan an operation to capture Chai Ke. , and the most interesting part is that the night after Chai Ke was arrested and imprisoned, prosecutor Anjie Foster gave a speech in the city center square, claiming to the citizens that Chai Ke would be brought to justice."

"That's what the Foster family has always done."

The woman sneered.

When doing practical things, you don't see anyone, but when you want to take credit, you are always the first one.

She was still wondering why someone like Anjie Foster could become the light of the city. Now it seems that the so-called city hero just took the credit for arresting Chai Ke and made the citizens of the 17th District think that She was the one who planned the arrest.

"It's not that simple. If she just wants to take credit, there is no need to let Chai Ke go privately. Assuming there is no accident that day, the result is that Chai Ke escapes from prison, the law enforcer is killed, and the city hero is kidnapped. This series The incident will push Lu Xiang to the forefront, and by then, the Foster family will have enough reasons to subject Lu Xiang to suspension investigation."

"No wonder, Lu Xiang was sent here by the coalition government. If the Foster family wants to get rid of her, they have to have a good teacher."

The woman suddenly said.

"When you went to investigate Lu Xiang, we happened to hear some gossip - except for Barna, all the small leaders of the remnants of the Chai Ke Group died in one day, although it looked like a criminal group on the surface. The fight between them, but in fact..."

"Your mission is to investigate the murderer who disappeared from the crime scene."

The sudden sound made the three of them tense up immediately, and they almost subconsciously touched their weapons.

In fact, when the man was halfway through his conception, the three of them already understood what he meant.

Someone is hunting down the remnants of the Chai Ke Group.

To be more precise, it is to carry out the aftermath work for the Foster family in order to clear the relationship between them and the Chai Ke Group.

But they didn't expect that person to appear in this room at this moment.

The three of them looked around, but could not find the speaker.

"Do your job well, and the next time we meet, it won't be a friendly reminder."

May 7, 2166, 23:08, late at night.

Song Lan woke up from his sleep, and the clock on the wall told him the current time.

After returning home, he took the section chief's advice and had a good sleep, trying to put what happened today behind him.

Lu Xiang won't go home today, and yesterday's leftovers are enough for him to deal with.

At this time, Lu Xiang should be guarding the hospital to prevent the last survivor from being killed by the killer.

Um……?

Song Lan's heart tightened when he realized this. Through the crack in the door, he clearly saw that the light in the living room was on.

The people in the living room seemed to have no intention of hiding their presence. Song Lan soon heard the sound of pots and pans, and the air was filled with the smell of meat.

Could it be that Lu Xiang came back temporarily after the situation in the hospital stabilized?

Song Lan took out her mobile phone and wanted to send a message to Lu Xiang to ask about the situation, but found that the mobile phone had no signal. Not only that, the computer network was also cut off.

After sitting on the bed and hesitating for a moment, Song Lan walked out of the bedroom door.

"The craftsmanship is good, almost as good as the chefs in the third district. No wonder Lu Xiang favors you."

Seeing Song Lan come out, the man sitting at the dining table just raised his head and glanced at him, then continued to eat happily.

She has short hair, a gutter nose, and the most eye-catching thing is the scar on the bridge of her nose that almost spans the entire face.

The man was wearing a heavy black leather trench coat, and his hat was placed casually beside the plate.

"Director Lu, she..."

Song Lan's question came to an abrupt end because he saw a tool set on the kitchen counter, including a scalpel, tweezers, and many tools that he couldn't name. At first glance, it looked like a surgeon's tool kit. Next to the group, there is a bottle of stimulants.

Lu Xiang said that colleagues in the crime analysis department were tortured before they died.

His torturers injected him with stimulants to keep him awake during the torture.

All signs showed that the uninvited guest in front of him was not sent by Lu Xiang to protect him.

The killer had predicted that Lu Xiang would lead people to guard the hospital at this moment, and then entered her apartment.

"With your skills, it's more than enough to be a chef in District 3."

After enjoying the supper, the man wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth and made an invitation gesture to Song Lan, "Sit down... I understand that you are a person who is content with the status quo, is afraid of fighting with others, and wants to live a peaceful life. I believe , the new identity we have arranged for you in District 3 can satisfy all your wishes. I came to you today to discuss with you your plans for your future life."

A professional killer came to him to discuss his future life plans?

And it sounds like we’re going to send him to District 3?

You must know that the Third District is the core area of ​​the coalition government. It is the refuge that countless people dream of. How many people spend their entire lives without being qualified to go to the Third District.

Song Lan sat down opposite the man at the hint of his eyes.

Theoretically speaking, the life plan mentioned by the other party may indeed be true. He has heard that for large families in the core city, entering the core area is just a matter of words.

What he was experiencing at the moment seemed to be exactly the same as that of the philosopher Grommash, so Song Lan also had the same question.

But, at what cost?
