Chapter 198: Worship and Faith

Summer sun shining on the beach.

The white grains of sand have a sparkling sheen.

It's noon.

Inland seaside.

The waves crash against the sand, layer by layer, and the white waves rise and fall.

The black reef looks like pearls set in the sea.

"Wei Bo'an, Executive Officer Feng invited you here to help solve the case, not to show your muscles."

Lu Wen finally found this guy on the beach.

The other executives were still busy in that villa, collecting evidence and investigating the cause and effect.

This guy is good.

As soon as I took off my jacket, I started walking on the beach in my shorts.

"What's that big bottle in your hand? Don't tell me it's sunscreen! You're actually running to the beach to sell sunscreen! What is the face of the 10th arrondissement? ”

"Young people, their minds are still not open enough, why don't they have face when they sell sunscreen?"

Wei Bo'an smiled softly and placed two large bottles of sunscreen on the beach.

He slowly made a few stretching movements, his muscles like a dragon roaming around his body, his bronzed skin shining dazzlingly in the sun.

Soon, many people of the opposite sex came forward to chat.

And so the business came.

He gently applied sunscreen to the girls, his hands slowly smoothing it out.

Lu Wen sat speechlessly on the side, with his appearance, there were not a few girls who came up to talk to him, and even some people recognized him as a city hero and wanted to take a photo with him.

This face is too recognizable.

Even though he is a android, his popularity is no less than that of a android.

"Alas, sure enough, the muscular hunk is no longer popular? Today's girls like you with a little white face. Wei Bo'an sighed softly, as if he felt the passage of time.

"The most important thing now is to get things done." Lu Wen said.

"Is the on-site investigation and evidence collection over? Did you find any useful evidence? Did the betrayal on that note crack down? ”

"None of them." Lu Wen shook his head.

"Look, it doesn't matter if there is more of me or less of me, now the investigation has entered a dead end, which is the same as many old cases in the tenth district, the murderer cannot be found, of course, many cases are because the executive officer of the year is not qualified, and now this case is because the murderer has two brushes."

It's the same as last time.

The whole time it was passive.

It wasn't until the end, by finding the connection between several deceased people and discovering the unjust case twelve years ago, that Lu Wen and the others finally grasped the initiative.

And this initiative is likely to be deliberately given to them by the murderer.

"Now that two people have died, a cleaner and a former director of the Executive Board, such a big identity gap, if these two people were really connected, I am afraid they would have been investigated a long time ago, and they would not have made no progress like this." Wei Boan shrugged, "So either find a breakthrough clue or ...... Only wait for the third deceased to appear. ”

"So, you're really selling sunscreen here?"

"How can you use the word selling? I'm giving these girls a different kind of enjoyment. Wei Bo'an said righteously, "By the way, I will inquire about the news about this region, after all, what the 15th District Executive Bureau shows us is likely to be processed and modified data, and the most authentic news often comes from the people." ”

Lu Wen understood what Wei Bo'an meant.

This is not the 10th arrondissement.

So this middle-aged man feels very inconvenient to do anything, and he is constrained.

As the head of a region, his long experience has taught him that what the Executive Board presents to the outside world is whitewashed.

"There have been a lot of shocking cases in the 10th arrondissement, but in the end, for the sake of the reputation of the whole region, we simplified those cases to the outside world, and later deleted the news about those cases."

What the inhabitants of District 10 know, only what they should know.

"For example, the doctor Zhang He at that time?" Lu Wen asked.

"Yes, it's just that we couldn't control the incident of the doctor Zhang He, it was too big, and the people's resentment was boiling, although after the incident, we deleted the news and reports about the incident, but there are still many people who remember."

Wei Boan asked a lot of people on the beach.

In the end, he really asked for some news.

"In the center of this inland sea, at the bottom of the sea, there is a submerged city, and some people say that there are many treasures in the city, waiting for future generations to open them." Wei Bo'an asked dryly, and took a sip of cold juice.

"That's it?" Lu Wen stared at him, "This news sounds like a fairy tale, and it can't be compared to the case that is happening now." ”

"Of course it does!"

Wei Bo'an put down the juice in his hand and looked at the vast sea not far away.

"Over the decades, submarines have been driven into the submerged city in an attempt to find the treasures within, and this is not a fairy tale, the treasures are real."

"What kind of treasure exactly?"

"I called Xiao Tiancai to check some more hidden information for me." Wei Bo'an made a copy of the document and gave it to Lu Wen, "Before the last war, for nearly two hundred years, this was still a large basin, and the city in the center of the basin was rich and prosperous, and there was an insurance company that was quite famous at that time. ”

Lu Wen flipped through the information.

Very special kind of insurance, not selling insurance as it is understood now, but a company that keeps valuables.

For a fee, you can store your valuables with this company and take them out whenever you want.

If the item is lost, this company will compensate you double.

Depending on the value of each item, the fees paid are also different.

"Later, in that war, the terrain was destroyed, and the flood flooded the area, and it can be said that the inland sea was farther away at that time, and then it all flowed into the basin."

According to sources, a lot of things were submerged.

Gold and silver can only be regarded as ordinary, as well as boxes of diamond jewelry, all kinds of heirlooms, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc......

"About ten years ago, there was a team that had been planning for a long time, went to sea on a calm day, and salvaged for a full month."

From the information sent by Xiao Tian, it can be found that the people on land at that time had already received news from the sea.

The treasure has been found.

But in the process of returning home, those ships sank inexplicably.

The submarine they had rented disappeared.

"I see."

Lu Wen thought of the glittering treasures under Du Changqing's villa.

He thought it was all bribes.

Now it seems that some of this may have come from this so-called undersea treasure in the first place.

"If that's the case, then in addition to the huge amount of bribes, he has a lot of lives on his hands, and he really deserves to die."

Lu Wen knows that there is a kind of kindness called hypocrisy.

Pretending to be kind.

Many people do good deeds out of nature, with a soft spot in their hearts that they can't bear to see others suffer.

There is also a kind of people who do not want to do good deeds in their hearts, but that vanity drives them, and makes them indulge in the honor and appreciation that comes with every good deed.

"Even if it's really just hypocrisy, if you can be hypocritical for a lifetime and do good deeds for a lifetime, then you can be regarded as truly kind, but it's a pity ......"

The human heart is insufficient.

Du Changqing exchanged money for fame, and finally died because of the crime of money.

"At that time, the organization that searched for the treasure did not all go to sea, and there were still people left on land, can the living places of those people be found now?"

Lu Wen found that there was no news about this in the information Wei Bo'an gave him, so he asked.

"They're all dead."

Wei Bo'an sent another piece of information to Lu Wen.

Ten years ago, those men went to sea, leaving eight people ashore to wait for news.

All those who went out to sea were buried in the sea.

The eight people who remained on land also died in the next three years due to all kinds of strange accidents.

Seven years ago, the last person died in his own home, and found that he had eaten too much and ruptured his stomach lining...... Stunch.

"I'm not a fool, how can I hold myself to death."

Lu Wen looked at the person's information, he was an ordinary person.

I didn't do any big stomach challenges, nor did I have a career like eating and broadcasting.

Seven years ago, it happened to be the time when Du Changqing applied for resignation.

"Du Changqing's real charges are probably clear." Lu Wen still didn't figure it out, "If you want those people to die for various reasons, Du Changqing will definitely not be able to do it alone, or even if he can do it, there is a great possibility that something will be detected." ”

"The young executives didn't want to believe it was him, so they blamed the deaths of those people to accidents." Wei Boan said.

That's faith.

Du Changqing is the belief of many young executives.

Like parents, more like stars.

If you find a case, it may be related to the person you believe in, and that person is also the head of the Executive Board, synonymous with authority.

Those young executives will choose to give up the investigation, ignore the unreasonableness of the case, and settle the case hastily.

"You see, that's why I'm reluctant to work with those guys in District 15, they're hiding something, intentionally or not." Wei Boan picked up the juice and took a sip.

"But I'm still going to work with them, and I'll have to see if I can find the wandering poet."

Concealing the truth is supposed to be used only against ordinary people.

Lu Wen didn't expect that these guys would really hide it from colleagues in other regions.

"Feng Fugui shouldn't know these things." "Du Changqing left his post seven years ago to make sure everything was safe, so he would definitely assign a young executive he trusted to deal with those strange deaths," Wei Bo'an said. ”

"You want to find out all those young executives?" Lu Wen asked.

"Concealing the news from colleagues and hastily closing the case, they are no longer worthy of being executive officers, and they just happened to be invited by someone this time, so let's help them clean up the moths."

……

The day's investigation ended quickly.

In the evening, the sun sets.

In the distance, the sea was stained crimson by the setting sun.

Under the evening breeze.

Numerous executives sit around and seafood barbecues are a feature of the area, and seafood stalls can be found everywhere on the streets.

Dining room.

Feng Fugui called the five executive officers to a table alone, these five are all first-level executive officers, but they have been in the executive board for some years, and the first one was turned into a regular seven years ago.

"These eight cases were handled by the five of you, and Du Changqing assigned you to deal with them at that time."

Eight people who died mysteriously.

All five were silent.

The night breeze is mixed with the smell of barbecue, and those materials turn page by page in the wind, opening up some buried old stories.

……

Early the next morning.

All five submitted resignation applications.

Wei Bo'an stood at the gate of the General Executive Bureau of the 15th District, and said with emotion: "Last time, that guy found out more than 10 people in my district, and this time he found more in the 15th district. ”

"Your mouth may have been opened."

Lu Wen looked at various social platforms.

The main news has not yet come out.

But he searched for it with the keyword '15th district', and found that there were already some self-media with more fans who were forwarding what happened in the 15th district in the past two days.

"It's ridiculous, that wandering poet, just a criminal...... Criminals will also have crowds. Feng Fugui also stood at the door and sighed.

"If the Executive Directorate does a good enough job, there will be fewer and fewer people who treat criminals as heroes." Lu Wen said.

The cult of criminals, this phenomenon tends to be divided into two types.

One is to see criminals as heroes, such as the wandering poet out there now.

His supporters believe that the Executive Board cannot bring justice to everyone, so the world needs the referees in the dark to remove the dark corners of injustice.

And the appearance of wandering poets just fulfilled their wishes.

The other phenomenon of worship is more eccentric......

Take the case of Richard Ramirez.

This criminal, known as the 'Night Stalker', has created countless horrific cases and violent assaults. Criminals, limbs. solution, and finally killed, and the victims are mostly women.

However, after this criminal was caught, he actually had a huge female fan group in a very short period of time, and many women claimed to be in love with him.

There are many such examples, such as Manson, such as Ted Bundy, one of the prototypes of the Silence of the Lambs.

"What are you frowning all day long? When you come to the 15th arrondissement, you should take a good look at the surrounding scenery. Wei Bo'an sat next to Lu Wen and asked.

"There are many things to do, and I am tired."

"Androids get tired too?"

"Who's to say it won't?"

It's not easy to control three bodies at the same time, and there are so many things to do every day.

According to Wei Boan, today should be the day when the no-man's land androids will negotiate with the council.

Who knows how many unfair conditions those brainless guys in no man's land will agree to.

"Do you have any news here about this meeting in No Man's Land?" Lu Wen asked.

"It's still early, the scheduled time is to start at ten o'clock in the morning, outside an abandoned city agreed by both parties, it's only past seven o'clock, I'll let you know as soon as there is news." Wei Bo'an looked at the time, "Those androids in the no man's land have nothing to do with you, why do you want to do so much?" ”

"I'm also an android, and we're all compatriots."

"Things are unpredictable, even if you really want to change, but you are only one person, and you can't stop the general trend from coming, unless you have an army of androids who can change the direction of anything."

Little by little, time passed.

Before ten o'clock, there was another dead person in the fifteenth district.

"The deceased this time was a bank security guard."

Feng Fugui distributed the information to everyone.

"What can a bank security guard have to do with the word 'betrayal'?"

……

Good night, book friends.

There will be two shifts today, and I will make up a little tomorrow.
