Chapter 3: The Enemy of the People

Hours have passed since the evening news, and the news of the deaths of Grand Prosecutors Angel Foster and Chai Ke is still brewing, and not only the citizens of the 17th arrondissement, but also people from other urban districts have joined in the discussion.

Through the explanations of enthusiastic netizens, Song Lan realized the seriousness of the problem.

For example, the Grand Prosecutor Anjie Foster has a lot of background, he is a member of the Foster family in the core area, the Foster family has a lot of power, has three jurisdictions of its own, and covers the sky in the adjudication office, and almost every chief judge since the establishment of the coalition government is a descendant of the Foster family.

For example, Chai Ke's head bounty is as high as 620,000, and he has committed 11 crimes worthy of death in the 17th district, and then even if he is burdened with a huge bounty, Chai Ke has dared to appear in the public place of the 17th district as if no one was around, treating the law enforcer as air, and because of this, he has also been named the most vicious criminal in recent years by the citizens.

Until recently, Chai Ke was arrested during a siege, and it was because of this that Anjie Foster went from being an incompetent official to becoming a city hero.

Song Lan had only heard the names of the two of them, but she didn't expect to check them carefully and find that these two people were so big.

In other words, it's not so easy to deal with.

Under pressure from public opinion, the law enforcement department has issued a statement that the suspect will be caught within a week; Chai Ke's younger brother and business partners also let out a message, they want to find the person who killed Chai Ke first, so that the person will die without a body; Although the Foster family has not yet said anything about Angel Foster's death, thinking on their toes, it is impossible for them to easily let go of the person who is working against them.

Sitting in front of the computer screen, Song Lan's young heart was greatly hurt.

After all, life still took a shot at him, an honest man.

This is undoubtedly a dark time for the average person living in the year 2166.

The high crime rate, as well as the unemployment rate of 33%, make every ordinary person live in dire straits.

As a part-time worker from 2020, Song Lan's only goal at present is to stabilize her current idle and high-paying job, save enough money to find a place away from right and wrong, and live her retirement life leisurely.

This is Song Lan's ideal in 2020, but unfortunately he didn't have time to realize this ideal, so he inexplicably traveled to 2166, where he could meet 9 criminals on every trip.

After a period of online learning, Song Lan has strengthened her determination to live a low-key life.

Because in 2166, there was also a special group of superhumans.

Netizens have given those people the name of "rescuers" and set up fan-oriented websites for them, and they firmly believe that rescuers are heroes who lead people out of the darkness.

Although there is no one in the law enforcement department of the 17th District who has passed the rescuer assessment, this does not prevent Song Lan from realizing the strength of those super humans from the Internet, and he feels that those people are almost writing "invincible" on his face.

In addition to the rescuers who are active in the core area, marginal cities such as District 17 also have a large number of ruthless characters who can stop children crying at night - in the first half of the year alone, the department counted seven criminals with a reward of more than 500,000 yuan in District 17.

Every time Song Lan saw these introductions on the Internet, he felt that this era was really terrible, and he didn't want to deal with these ruthless characters who would give him nightmares when he slept.

lamenting that this era is too terrible, Song Lan did not forget to put the food into the pot to heat.

He heard the roar of the hovercar landing, which meant that Lu Xiang would be home in less than two minutes.

A few moments later, there was the sound of a key inserting into the lock hole behind him.

"I'm back."

Song Lan turned around when he heard this, Lu Xiang had already untied the ribbon used to bind his hair, and the long chestnut hair like a waterfall suddenly fell down, and his somewhat cold eyes became much softer after moving to Song Lan.

Then she seemed to suddenly remember something, her lips opened slightly, her arms straightened slightly stiffly, showing the movement of stretching her waist, and the sound of lack of emotional fluctuations dragged out the final note, "Whew, I'm really tired today-"

Song Lan stepped forward, he always felt that the tone of Lu Xiang's speech today seemed to be a little abnormal.

In his impression, Lu Xiang has always been serious to the point of being a little stereotyped, she is silent when she is not working, and she usually only greets him with her eyes when she goes home.

He took the bag from the other man's hand with trepidation, and thenβ€”

"Smack."

Because the zipper of the bag did not close, a booklet that was not too thick fell to the floor.

"A Love Tip Every Day".

"Ahh

"Ahh

The two of them stared at the object on the ground, and invariably let out a single tone, and the suffocating silence spread through the room.

In the end, it was Song Lan who broke the awkward atmosphere, but his tone also became a little unnatural, "There are braised pork ribs and dry pot potatoes today." ”

"Hmm."

Lu Xiang nodded, snatched the bag in Song Lan's hand expressionlessly, bent down to pick up the book, and quickly stuffed it into it as if nothing happened.

Then, the two tacitly focused their attention on the steaming meal.

Cooking skills are one of the few things that Song Lan has brought that can come in handy from 2020, and it is also the product of her parents' coercion and inducement.

Judging from the results alone, it seems that there is some truth to it.

However, it is estimated that the old couple never dreamed that cooking would be about to become a lost skill in 2166.

The main reason for this is that people don't need to cook for themselves at all, they wake up every day with a shot of nutrients to keep them energized throughout the day.

Under the onslaught of technology, chefs have become a rare profession that can only be seen in the upper class of the core area.

Song Lan did find a girlfriend because of this.

At the beginning, he planned to follow the local customs and use injections to solve his food and clothing problems, but as a young man from the 2020th century, he felt exhausted after only three days of injections.

Originally, it was bad enough for a person to reach the year 2166 when he was unfamiliar with his life, and when he came home, he couldn't even eat a meal, so what was the meaning of this life?

So in order to be able to eat, Song Lan spent a lot of effort to buy kitchen utensils and ingredients online.

What used to be everywhere has become a luxury in these years, and if it weren't for the good salary of the law enforcement department, he would have really fallen to the point where he couldn't even afford to eat.

He still remembers that when he was cooking for the first time, he was hit by Lu Xiang, and it is difficult to say whether the latter saw the things he bought online in the department.

Since then, Lu Xiang has often used the excuses of "discussing work", "passing by" and "the weather is good today...... Door-to-door inspections.

Maybe it was because Lu Xiang felt guilty after eating and drinking for a while, so he put forward an invitation not long ago that her house was still quite big and hoped that he would move in with him.

In good conscience, he agreed to Lu Xiang's invitation at that time completely to save a rent.

It's just that the situation couldn't catch up with the changes, and after the two got along for a while, Lu Xiang suddenly expressed his feelings to him seriously one night.

Song Lan still remembers the scene of that night, not only because it was the first time in his life that he was confessed by the opposite sex, but also because Lu Xiang spoke without the slightest warning, and she even held the file brought back from the department in her hand when she spoke.

"I'm single, and you're single, why don't we give it a try?"

With that aura and tone, Song Lan almost mistakenly thought that she was participating in a job interview.

Although the process was somewhat unexpected, with a stable job and a girlfriend found, everything seemed to be on the right track......

But Song Lan never expected that God would open a window for him on the surface, but in fact, he was about to drive an excavator to pout his house.

He just came home from work as usual, preparing meals before his girlfriend came home, as usual, and ended up inexplicably getting involved in this kind of incident.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Song Lan. ”

Lu Xiang's mood today was so anxious that the delicious food didn't taste good.

The main reason is that the skills provided by "A Love Tip Every Day" are ineffective, and according to the scene depicted in the book, after she stretches her waist and sighs after a day's work, the two will make some intimate actions that can only be seen between lovers under the urging of the atmosphere.

However, she has never been a person to give up easily.

"A Love Tip of the Day" also mentions that praise and praise can quickly shorten the distance between couples.

"Huh?"

Hearing Lu Xiang's call, Song Lan in front of the kitchen counter turned her head and stared at each other with strange eyes.

"The meals were delicious, like, like...... Braised pork ribs are the same. ”

"However, today's dinner is braised pork ribs."

"Oh."

Lu Xiangmu nodded solemnly, and at the same time secretly made up his mind.

When you're done with this case, let's go to the bookstore and buy a copy of the "Entry-level Praise Handbook".
