Chapter 6: Sleepless Nights
At the same time, somewhere in the seventeenth arrondissement.
"Stop it, it's all law enforcers out there."
"Everyone is almost there."
"Let's do it."
"According to the agreement, this news will make headlines in the major media in half an hour."
"Stop, what do you want to do!?"
"Don't think you'll get out of District 17 alive if you kill us!"
"Click-"
After a soft sound, the room returned to peace.
The man sitting at the table, after turning off the sophisticated playback device, recorded the time on a sticker:
May 6, 2166, 19:23:37 to 19:25:14.
The man compared the stickers that had recorded the time with the seven identical stickers before.
In less than two minutes, there are a total of 6 lines of dialogue, each coming from the mouths of four people.
From these 6 sentences of dialogue, it is not difficult to judge the general situation at the scene at the time of the crime, and at present, it can be ruled out that the female hostage who was knocked unconscious by Chai Ke's men has not woken up until now.
"Oh yes, I'm still on vacation!"
The woman in the room, lazily crossed Jiro's legs and applied nail polish, complained dissatisfiedly.
The tall man who stood beside her like a door god persuaded, "Don't complain, no matter what, it's the Foster family who died." ”
"Those who can be sent to a place like the Seventeenth District will not be an important person in the family."
The woman replied without raising her head, "Isn't it common for refugees in small remote cities to try their best to get involved with big families in the core area?" I really don't know what kind of wind is pumping from above, so we can run all night to this kind of place where birds don't! ”
"Angel Foster is just a small character."
The man who was looking at the sticker interrupted the conversation, and the woman wanted to say something, but after glancing at the former, she obediently closed her mouth and looked elsewhere.
"The key lies in Chai Ke, and on the face of it, this is a retaliatory action he took against local law enforcement after his escape." The man looked at the conversation in just two minutes without any personal emotion, "Once this incident is in the news, it will undoubtedly disgrace the local law enforcers, but there is also a message hidden in their conversation - Chai Ke had asked another person for permission before he did it." ”
"So, someone wants to borrow Chai Ke's hand to get rid of Anjie Foster, and then let Chai Ke carry this black cauldron alone?"
"I'm afraid Chai Ke is asking Anjie Foster's opinion."
The man's words were shocking, and for a moment the other two people in the room did not react.
What the heck?
An Jieke was directly shot in the head by Chai Ke in the case, and her body is still lying in the morgue of the law enforcement department.
A grand prosecutor with a thriving local career would order an outlaw to blow his own head?
It's a bit counterintuitive.
"It's all about the sound."
After comparing the voices collected at the scene seven times, he finally found out that the voice was not coming from the right source, and An Jie was not lined up with the other hostages when they spoke. ”
"But her body was found next to the unconscious hostage."
"Her hands were cut behind her back, her head was covered with a cloth bag, but her mouth was not gagged, as the fourth hostage, she didn't say a word in these two minutes, she was a member of the Foster family, and her will to survive was inevitably too weak."
"It's possible that she was knocked unconscious from the beginning."
"It is impossible for an unconscious person to be shot after moving several meters in less than a second."
The man slowly closed his eyes, and his mind had already constructed the location of everyone on the scene in less than two minutes based on the content of the recording.
"There are four hostages, and there is a distance of more than four meters between An Jie and Chai Ke......
Immediately after, the image he had constructed in his mind began to move.
The moment Chai Ke pulled the trigger, the two hostages on his target's side began to crawl towards the corner of the room with all their might, and in less than a second, An Jie crossed the distance of more than four meters and became the substitute for the man who should have been shot.
Subsequently, Anjie Foster was shot and killed, and Chai Ke and his men were directly pierced through the chest from behind, which was also an instant death.
The man's colleagues finally realized the seriousness of the problem according to his words, and a creepy feeling suddenly came to their hearts.
Someone killed everyone in the house in less than a second, including the wanted criminals with a bounty of 620,000 and a prosthetic modification level of 21%!
Considering that Anjie Foster's meeting with Chai Ke may have been instructed by the family, the real task of their trip is to find the person who disappeared from the scene.
The woman's action of applying nail polish froze in the air, and the chill in her heart could not dissipate for a long time.
To find that person, you have to figure out what happened in that short second.
It was destined to be a sleepless night.
……
Early the next morning, Song Lan was woken up by a rapid alarm clock.
Facing the rising sun, he stretched out comfortably, the biggest advantage of moving to Lu Xiang's house is that he can sleep peacefully every day.
At the very least, he didn't need to worry that the criminals of District 17 would storm the home of the head of the law enforcement department and make trouble.
The other good news is that he doesn't have to go to work today.
After sending a message to the section chief to ask for leave, he searched for information about the nearest prosthetic hospital.
Yesterday, he had promised Lu Xiang and taken someone else's salary card, and he obviously had to go to the prosthetic hospital this time.
But that doesn't mean he really has to slit his arm and transform himself into a semi-mechanized man.
As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures, and he began to conceive a reason that could make Lu Xiang feel that he wanted to make a change, but in the end, it backfired due to various irresistible reasons.
It's like when he was in college, he really wanted to go to the morning class, but in the end, he couldn't go to the classroom because of irresistible factors such as stomach pain.
Song Lan has always felt that pretending to be sick will always be the best shield, even if the methods of 2020 are used in 2166, it will not be outdated.
However, the reason for the stomach ache must be untenable, and he has to improve his quaint learning, for example, after he went to the prosthetic hospital for a comprehensive examination, he accidentally found that he was suffering from some kind of disease that would die if he implanted a prosthesis.
Song Lan has poor medical knowledge, and if he casually makes up a disease, Lu Xiang will definitely see through it at a glance, so he needs to cooperate with the experts of the prosthetic hospital to cooperate.
With the official certification given by experts that "as soon as you carry out prosthetic transformation, you will die", presumably Lu Xiang will not say anything more.
He was heartily pleased with his wit.
After praising herself in her heart, Song Lan locked up one of the prosthetic hospitals.
It's up to you!
The Three Circuits Prosthetic Hospital, which was once complained about for collecting black money from patients!
Hurry up and collect my black money, and then let me become a special patient who "will die as soon as I undergo prosthetic transformation"!
