Chapter 155: Speech Day

Anyone who strikes at the caravan will become an enemy of the Seventeenth District.

Song Lan was full of aura when she said this, which once gave Lu Xiang the idea of setting up an "outside" crime investigation department, and then Song Lan would serve as the head of this new department.

However, at present, Comrade Song Lan is already the section chief of two departments, and he usually has a lot of work at hand.

Out of distress, Lu Xiang did not say his thoughts.

"I'll think about it."

Even if this plan is to be implemented, it will not be until the election campaign is completed.

It is still unclear whether Aureliano will be able to become mayor, and while he leads the way and does not have the Foster family's biggest obstacle, his speeches on the campaign trail have seriously touched the interests of big business.

In addition to recovering control of the border trade routes, he also prepared a series of policies, such as raising taxes on enterprises, prohibiting the use of bionic humans to replace labor, and strictly regulating the working hours of various enterprises.

With the reduction of bank tax rate and wage tax rate, this part of the money will be covered by enterprises.

While winning the support of the people, it also made him a thorn in the side of big business, Lu Xiang is sure that more than ninety percent of the large enterprises in the 17th district hope that Aureliano will die on the streets the next day.

If he can't be prevented from taking office politically, big business will probably do something else.

According to the data, after 2155, a total of 19 mayoral candidates in the coalition government were killed by guns, and the reason why there has been no such incident in the 17th District before is that every mayor needs the Foster family to nod their consent, and the interests of the Forts family and big business are the same.

At this rate, Aureliano could well become the 20th mayoral candidate to die in a gunshot.

Obviously, he himself did not take this matter seriously, and almost every week he gave more than three speeches in the downtown area of the 17th arrondissement, and there were no decent security measures at the speech site, and most of the bodyguards of the public opinion were untrained community security guards, which were almost negligible in front of real professional killers.

Speaking of professional killers, Lu Xiang felt that Song Lan could be regarded as saving the other party's life in disguise.

If it weren't for the death of Dorago Safron at his hands, I'm afraid those big companies would have paid for Aureliano's head long ago.

The facts once again confirmed Lu Xiang's hunch.

Three days later, an anonymous email from the "outside world" appeared in her inbox.

The email said that the veteran assassination team had infiltrated the 17th arrondissement, and that they were targeting the sought-after mayoral candidate.

The big companies in the 17th arrondissement spent a lot of money to bring in the most professional people from the "outside world".

In the morning of the same day, an emergency meeting of the law enforcement department was held.

"Black Hand"

An unfamiliar name appears on the holographic projection.

If that anonymous piece of information were accurate, they would be dealing with an extremely professional killer organization.

"The group is active in the 'outside world', with a total of five people, snipers, demomen, firefighters, hackers, plus camouflage masters, and is very well staffed, and has planned to assassinate seven political dignitaries in neutral countries, and is a wanted criminal in thirteen neutral countries."

All the section chiefs in the conference room had solemn faces, including Song Lan.

Before he could take a vacation, a team of five professional killers had infiltrated Area 17.

The criminals in this "outside world" are more terrible than the other, and it is really difficult for people to sleep.

Captain Doug and Chief Snake, who were active members of the meeting, were the first to enter the state, and they immediately entered the discussion mode.

"Lectures in downtown China on the weekend."

After a while, they came to the same conclusion, "If you want to do it, it's the best place to go." ”

Before each speech canvassing, the public opinion will print posters in advance and post them on subway stations and other transportation arteries, with specific times and places printed on the posters.

"The terrain of the disturbance area is extremely complicated, and the location of the speech is exposed to at least dozens of sniper points, and it is impossible for us to investigate every building during the speech."

Doug's head is too big, and if you put him in the shoes of a professional killer, then at least he can come up with hundreds of ways to evacuate safely after assassinating Aureliano.

He felt that it was a miracle that he could survive to this day in the way of the other party's speech.

In fact, without the intervention of law enforcement, there would be no need for professional killers, and a few armed thugs could have taken the life of the mayoral candidate.

The main reason why Aureliano is still alive is that the situation in the 17th district was still unclear before, and some series of major events did not allow big business to spare time to deal with him.

"Is there a way to cancel, postpone, or change the location of the presentation?"

Snake asked.

This is not just a matter of Aureliano's life, it is foreseeable that during the speech, a large number of citizens will inevitably gather in the downtown square, and the composition of the "black hand" has a demoman, if he planted a bomb near the square in advance, I am afraid that it will cause hundreds of casualties.

They don't have any expectations for the bottom line of the "outside" killer, because for the killer, the scene is getting more and more, and the more conducive it is for them to retreat.

So the best thing to do is to cancel the lecture rather than keep the speaker safe.

"It's okay to communicate, but it doesn't solve the problem completely."

Lu Xiang said, "As long as Aureliano still needs to speak, then sooner or later it will be exposed to their field of vision." ”

That's the hardest part of a professional killer, you never know where they are until they do it, and even if you cancel a presentation, you're just missing a chance.

The only way to solve the problem once and for all is to find these five people.

"I'm going to discuss with him the issue of changing the location of the speech, and in the next few days, you should increase your patrols in the downtown area, and try to find some clues when they step on the spot, but you need to be careful not to exchange fire with them when you are not sure."

"Roger!"

At the end of the meeting, the section chiefs immediately returned to their respective posts.

"Section Chief Song, you stay for a while."

Mixed in the crowd, ready to return to work with everyone, Song Lan was trembling, so she had to turn around and smile at Lu Xiang.

"Director Lu, what's the matter?"

"I've been looking forward to your comments at today's work session."

Lu Xiang crossed his arms around his chest and said, "What do you think about the killer problem?" ”

"I think Director Lu has arranged it properly and is discerning, and there is nothing to add."

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

"That'...... What if I promised you a week off after you caught them? ”

"I don't think it's a bad thing to talk about it appropriately."
