Chapter 243: Prestige
Zhong Xiong's right arm injury is not yet healed, and he will have to rest for at least two months.
But he couldn't wait that long.
The entire Canterlot is in a state of rain and buildings, and more and more individuals and organizations are entering the city during this time, and it is not uncommon to see news of casualties caused by clashes between the two groups.
And the temple, as one of the two local land snakes, was naturally not idle during this time.
"They have blatantly killed some outsiders who accidentally provoked them in the past few days, showing the strength of their organization, if I guessed correctly, they don't know Miss Xia's identity." The shopkeeper said.
"It's not a famous person, and identity is useless." Xia Chuluo responded lightly.
"Miss Xia, I can provide you with all the news of the temple." Zhong Xiong was quite urgent.
"No need, let's take care of the injury first, since he said three days, then wait for him for three days, there is no need to be in such a hurry."
Naturally, we have to do things in these three days.
There are still some people on Xia Chuluo's list that have not been dealt with, and they are all experienced killers, and it will not be too easy.
Zhong Xiong naturally wanted to immediately dispose of the temple organization.
But he is only one person, and he can't do that.
And the little girl of this team looks quite calm and seems to have everything under control.
Zhong Xiong had no choice but to wait for the time being.
……
This side of the city of Mou.
Wei Boan's big plan is still being implemented.
He felt that he was a person who had died once anyway, and now he was alive for Feng Fugui, without any scruples, he could do whatever he had to do, and he was not as restrained as before.
Lu Wen has been getting the latest news from him on the other side of the no-man's land.
"How do you feel like you're so interested in the androids of no man's land? You don't have a doppelganger over there, do you? Wei Boan asked.
"How is it possible, think too much, if there is really a doppelganger, with the relationship between the two of us, won't I tell you?" Lu Wen looked serious and responded seriously.
"Yes...... With your popularity in Mowu City, there is no need to go to the no-man's land to get a doppelganger, it is purely to find guilt yourself. ”
Wei Boan said something that wasn't quite right lately.
Several regiments of Mowu had been stationed in the mountains and forests outside the city, and there had been some unclear movements in the past few days.
It seems to be quietly moving towards no man's land.
"But the traces of their stationing are still in those mountains and forests, those tents have not been removed, and the sound of shouting can be heard in the camp every day, giving people the feeling that they are still there."
"Don't you know the exact news?"
"I don't know, after that old guy from Gongliangyu came, the entire Mowu City revolved around him."
Wei Bo'an sighed, presumably because he felt that the bones of Mowu City were too soft.
"Now Mowu City is also a super city, there is no need to pay attention to the Floating City, I don't understand those councilors, I have to cater to the preferences of the Floating City, you must not become like that when you become a councilor in the future."
Wei Boan said that he especially admired the two cities in the north.
Those two cities, although the economy is not as developed as Mowu City, have never paid attention to the instructions of the Floating City from beginning to end.
The so-called Supreme Council is like air in their eyes.
"Although the economic level of the two northern cities is not good, their combat effectiveness is quite strong, don't underestimate those two cities." Lu Wen said: "Combat effectiveness, if Mowu City is serious about it, it can actually be done." ”
The two sat at the gate of the Executive Board.
It's already past nine o'clock in the evening, and most of the executives are coming home from work, and it seems a little cold here.
"No, the combat effectiveness of Mowu City can't get up, the city is also glamorous in appearance, who would have thought that the mayors who took the lead are rotten." Wei Boan sighed.
"The evidence Zero gave you wasn't enough to pull him down."
Lu Wen had read those documents.
Among the evidence given by Zero, the only one that can really hammer the current mayor is only a video.
In the video, the guy secretly killed his secretary when he was still running for mayor.
As for the reason, it is unknown.
There is no actual evidence for the other crimes listed by Zero.
"Just relying on that video, at most, he will go to prison for a while, and he has a high voice among the people, so it can be justified that he was forced to do something at that time...... He could even be released on bail if he had enough money. ”
This is not the outcome that Wei Boan wants to see.
Throughout the reform of ancient dynasties, most of the successful ones started from the bottom, moisturizing things silently, and once they directly moved the upper layer, they would cause a series of backlash because the steps were too big.
In ancient times, most of the people were ignorant, so it was not clear whether the reformers were good or bad for them.
And now the people are different.
With the development of the Internet, a message can be made known to the world in one day.
"If you want to get him down, you must let everyone know what this kind person is like behind the scenes, and under the general trend of public opinion, you can succeed." Lu Wen said.
"It's not my success, it's yours." Wei Boan looked at him.
"How?"
"Those false names are of little use to me, but you can use them, and although I don't know what you've been planning all day, I can feel that you're quite hungry for prestige during this time."
"Is there one?" Lu Wen changed his expression in surprise.
Wei Boan smiled.
There are some things that can be stopped at the point, and he doesn't understand what Lu Wen wants those reputations to do, but he will try his best to help Lu Wen.
He knew that androids had the ability to deduce.
Perhaps in some kind of future that Lu Wen deduces, he needs to use a lot of prestige.
"The matter of illegal drugs, the relevant personnel have been monitored by the people I arranged, but now we can't startle the snakes, they are only the bottom of the industrial chain, and they need to find the upper ...... through them."
"Brother Wei!"
A voice suddenly interrupted Wei Bo'an's words.
Wei Boan looked up and frowned slightly.
"Mayor Zhen, how can you have time to come to the Executive Board so late?"
"Haha, I ate too much at night, so I went out for a walk, and I just happened to run into you, brother."
The person who came was the current mayor, Zhen Yingjie, 57 years old.
He was dressed ordinarily, not tall, with gray temples, and looked like an ordinary little old man, amiable.
It is such a simple appearance that has won him the unanimous approval of the people.
"I heard that brother, you've been busy with some cases related to illegal drugs recently?" Zhen Yingjie asked with a smile on his face, his words were calm.
"Yes." Wei Boan did not deny it.
"I've also heard...... What illegal drugs may be related to a pharmaceutical company? ”
"Mayor Zhen has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, there is no one else here."
"Haha, it's nothing, I just think that when Brother Wei, when you investigate these cases, you should also pay attention to your own safety, don't be accidentally overshadowed, there are a lot of missing cases in Mowu City every year, and an excellent executive director like you, once you disappear, it will also be a loss for our city."
Zhen Yingjie smiled and patted Wei Bo'an's shoulder, which was heavier.
"I don't want to wake up one morning and hear the news of your sudden disappearance."
With that, he turned and left with his hands behind his back.
There are also some pedestrians on the streets at night.
They recognized the mayor and greeted each other.
After Zhen Yingjie walked away, the two began to communicate again.
"This old guy lives in the 1st district, can he take a walk to my 10th district?"
"It seems that he is specially here to remind you that he is the largest shareholder of that company, and if he investigates again, his interests will be involved." Lu Wen said.
Zhen Yingjie's words just now have been quite obvious, he is threatening Wei Bo'an.
But even if Lu Wen sent out the video footage just now, no one would believe it.
The ordinary people would only think that the mayor was worried about Wei Boan's safety.
"Where would a decent pharmaceutical company worry about an investigation?" Wei Boan shook his head, "He's worried that I'll find evidence that he's letting his company produce illegal drugs. ”
"It's strange to say, it's only been two days since you started investigating, and he actually found out."
The criminal arrested in the 16th district today is actually related to this matter, which can be regarded as a breakthrough, but it is just a breakthrough at the bottom.
The criminal, the two of them also started their investigation not long ago.
Among the information given by Zero, Wei Bo'an couldn't bear it the most, which was these illegal drugs.
He couldn't believe that the mayor of a city would take the lead in doing this.
"Among the people you arranged, someone sent a message to that old guy." Lu Wen said.
"Alas, I always arrange for those executives who usually behave quite well and have no stain to spy on people related to illegal drugs."
"Actually, you don't have to monitor all the time, it's easy to go wrong."
"What do you want to do?" Wei Boan looked at Lu Wen.
"Today's criminal confessed to the lowest level, no matter how long you monitor it, the effect will not be too obvious, and it will be difficult to find people at the top."
If you can't find someone higher, there is no way to find out the relationship between these illegal drugs on the market and Zhen Yingjie.
"You want to do it directly?" Wei Boan asked.
"No, indirectly."
"You don't want to learn the old routines in those movies, send someone over to buy medicine, and then get into the other party, right?"
"That's pretty much what I thought." Lu Wen nodded.
"It's impossible, those who can do this business are all human spirits, and they are not so easy to be deceived, and we can't find a suitable candidate, and now the people around me are not very credible."
"I have someone I can trust."
……
On the other side of the city.
The trio of Yin June left the 16th arrondissement and came to the 15th arrondissement.
After all, the Ark would love to visit the city at night.
"The night in Mou is really lively." Ark walked on the beach by the sea, looking at the food stalls that were thriving, feeling the peace and liveliness, and couldn't help but sigh.
Anyone who has lived in Baker City will feel the same emotion as him when they come to Mou.
"In fact, it's just that the 15th district will be a little more lively at night, and other districts are mostly deserted at night."
When Lu Wen followed Xia Chuluo to the city, he also thought that it would be more lively at night.
However, the 13th arrondissement becomes deserted at night.
A thick fog spreads through the streets, giving the feeling of ...... It's like walking in a silent dream, and you can see people who are homeless because of unemployment on both sides of the street.
"A lot of people who work in urban areas live in the suburbs or even farther away from towns, and they drive back after work, so it's cold at night in the big tech-rich areas." Lu Wen said.
The 15th arrondissement has a well-developed tourism industry.
So it's day and night, it's quite lively.
"Don't you live in the city? It seems that the housing prices in Mou City are also very high. Ark said.
"It's true that many brick-and-mortar stores are now struggling to make ends meet." Lu Wen nodded.
"I have a say in this, when I ran away from home, I worked as a temporary worker at a snack bar in the 14th arrondissement for a while." Yin June recalled: "At that time, the boss often said that the more popular his business was, the higher the rent of the store would rise, and he couldn't make much money after a month of hard work, and all the money went into the landlord's pocket." ”
The three of them talked as they walked.
The sea breeze is quite comfortable.
Lu Wen prefers to use the feeling of this identity.
In Mowu City, no one knows his identity, Dr. Jiang has plastic surgery for his face, and now he is just an ordinary person who looks young and handsome.
This body will not have the situation of being secretly photographed all the way along the way.
"By the way, June, I might need you to do something." Lu Wen turned his head to Yin June and said.
"Say, this girl has been in a hurry lately, it's better to be a little challenging, don't look for me if it's too easy." Yin June readily agreed.
"I want you to go undercover for a day or two."
"So exciting? This girl is duty-bound! Give me the address. ”
