Work at the most famous restaurant in the 3rd arrondissement.
With a high salary, you can meet celebrities from the upper class every day.
A duplex apartment of your own.
A deposit that is enough for an ordinary person to spend half his life.
If necessary, there is also one or more girlfriends who come to your door.
The important thing is that we can say goodbye to the smoky city of District 17.
It can be said that this is the most generous remuneration any office worker can think of, and there are only three conditions in exchange for these remunerations:
A signature, a letter, and a video.
As long as these three things are completed, life will leap at a speed of several decades overnight and directly reach the end of freedom in career, life, and wealth.
Song Lan admitted that this was probably the biggest temptation he had ever faced in his life. The three conditions proposed by the other party actually pointed to the same purpose.
Betrayed and accused Lu Xiang of letting Chai Ke go in private, and secretly plotted with Chai Ke to murder Anjie Foster.
What required his signature was a document from the prosecutor's office, stamped with an official seal.
The content of the document was a confession he made personally to the law enforcement department. The content of the confession was that late one night, he woke up from his sleep and happened to bump into a phone call between Lu Xiang and Chai Ke. Lu Xiang instructed Chai Ke to commit murder. An Jie, in exchange for Chai Ke's freedom.
The letter is a report letter.
After days of condemnation of conscience and seeing Lu Xiang’s silencing of his colleagues, I could no longer endure Lu Xiang’s atrocities and risked my life to write this letter of report to the prosecutor’s office.
The content of the video is a confession to the citizens of District 17.
Not long after he wrote the real-name report letter, he released this video to the public media because he was worried that he would be persecuted. If something happened to him, he would definitely be retaliated by Lu Xiang.
The reason why the professional killer came to his door was very simple, because he was currently in the stage of passionate love with Lu Xiang, and there was nothing in the world that was more direct and effective than a backstab from his lover.
After realizing this, Song Lan's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
Because this also proves that the killer and the forces behind him did not know that he was a survivor in the Chai Ke case.
It is not difficult to complete these three conditions. In less than an hour, he can hand over these three things to the other party, bid farewell to District 17 completely, and realize his dream of living in a big city.
An ordinary office worker couldn't refuse the temptation in front of him, and he readily agreed to the offer as soon as his head was hot.
However, Song Lan saw the biggest flaw in these three conditions at a glance.
For people who are hungry for the truth, how credible is the testimony provided by a person who has since disappeared and has never been heard from again?
In his opinion, the only thing that can truly gain people's trust is a body that was found in Lu Xiang's apartment and was brutally killed in the same way as the previous deceased.
In particular, this corpse had released a video to the public media during its lifetime out of fear of retaliation from Lu Xiang.
"But in this case, Director Lu will..."
Song Lan frowned, showing just the right amount of embarrassment.
"For your future life, Lu Xiang is just a passer-by. When you go to the third district, we can provide you with a love partner who can meet all your fantasies at any time. We can provide you with a new identity. , everything in District 17 has nothing to do with you anymore."
The killer's words were very convincing, as if he had stood in Song Lan's shoes and considered all his difficulties.
"I'm guessing your girlfriend has never mentioned her past to you."
The man said firmly.
Song Lan really couldn't refute this point. His current understanding of Lu Xiang was that she parachuted into District 17 and became the head of the law enforcement department.
The only reason why I met her was because I couldn't stand the food cooked after taking nutritional supplements.
"For her, you are a tool that allows her to recall her past life. Even if we have never met, she will leave you one day."
The killer paused for a while and then said, "What's more, for you, it may not be pure love - living in the crime-ridden District 17, you need someone who can protect you, and she happened to satisfy your longing... …But all your worries will disappear after going to the third district.”
This killer,
Really come prepared!
Not only did it provide him with a bargaining chip that was hard to refuse based on his character, but he even considered the emotional factors in detail to stir up the relationship between him and Lu Xiang.
Once you accept this statement, you will naturally reduce the guilt caused by the betrayal, and come up with the idea that "she will leave me from the beginning anyway."
Under this double impact, it would be difficult for anyone to refuse the temptation in front of them.
However, Song Lan was not immersed in the beautiful fantasy of life in the Third District at this moment. On the contrary, what happened in the afternoon emerged in his mind.
The smell of blood in the apartment still seemed to linger on the tip of his nose.
At that time, for the sake of his own physical and mental health, he did not open the toilet door and witness the tragedy on the other end.
He had no way of knowing whether the man in front of him had made his colleagues an offer they couldn't refuse.
"Excuse me."
Song Lan shook her head, "We are in free love."
"Free love?"
The man seemed to have heard something funny, and his expression became very strange. He seemed to have considered that Song Lan was his negotiation partner, so he did not laugh out loud in front of his face. "I deeply regret this, but you have to start from dreams and love." A choice has been made.”
As he spoke, he pushed the bowls and chopsticks aside, stood up and walked towards the kitchen counter.
He picked up the tool kit he carried with him. These tools can often give those who refuse inducements another reason to compromise. "Perhaps, I can also give you some simpler options, agree to us, or die, you can choose either way." One."
The man took out a syringe in front of Song Lan and prepared a stimulant that would keep him awake at all times.
Put on surgical gloves and gently place your right hand at the corner of your eye to ensure that the prosthetic eye starts to work.
confirm the time.
It is now May 7, 2166, 23 hours, 37 minutes and 24 seconds.
Everything recorded next can be used as evidence against Lu Xiang as long as it is processed later.
"Mr. Song Lan, I hope you can understand one thing."
After completing all this, the killer turned to Song Lan and said leisurely, "You are not our only choice."
"Before that, can I ask a question?"
"But it doesn't matter."
"You have killed so many people, aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid?" The man sneered, "Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid I'll meet the real murderer somewhere."
The man paused.
The numbers dancing on the prosthetic eye recorded this strange scene for him.
23:37:28.
23:37:29.
23:41:27.
…
He heard a voice coming from behind, "Supervisor Lu said that the murderer had at least a prosthetic eye modification and could accurately monitor the victim's heart rate and blood loss during the crime..."
The next moment, there was only endless darkness in front of his eyes, and his remaining consciousness drifted into the distance with this darkness.
"Don't take it seriously, it's just some insurance measures."
