Chapter 798: The Man Who Chased Dreams
What's going on?
It was hard for him to imagine that a person would not even want his life in order to be famous.
"I'm a little curious, my life is gone, what's the use of being famous?"
"You don't understand, that's the charm of the city, everyone who comes here is for it."
The woman exhaled the last puff of smoke and tossed the burned cigarette butt downstairs, the trail quickly disappearing from her sight.
But it also made her more determined.
"People will pay whatever it takes to get it, mind, body, or life, and I've tried many things, and now it's time to take another step forward."
Her gaze softened a lot, "I happen to be tired too." ”
From the woman's narrative, Detective Song Lan probably guessed the other party's experience in the fourth district.
Just like countless people chasing dreams, they followed the trajectory of their dreams and came to this colorful city, dreaming of ushering in their own "ten minutes" every day.
It's just that reality destroys them, and they end up finding that there's nothing special about them.
The straw that broke the camel's back was a third-rate director named Powell, who prepared a script that he claimed would make people an instant hit, but it turned out that the dream had come to naught once again.
So, the woman walked onto the roof of the hotel after the gang broke up, and in a flash of inspiration, she wanted to use death in exchange for a chance to become famous.
Unfortunately, her idea will eventually come to naught.
Song Lan shook her phone and said, "I just checked some information, in the past month, there have been a total of 23 falling incidents in the fourth district, and this hotel alone has happened twice. ”
The same people, made the same choice.
He asked, "How many of these 23 people do you think will eventually become famous?" ”
The woman was stunned, and her numb eyes were a little dazed.
In a trance, she seemed to understand the reason why Song Lan asked this - if it wasn't for the other party mentioning this number, she wouldn't even know that so many people in this city had fallen from the building.
She doesn't usually pay attention to that, and the names of the dead don't appear in her life.
Only a dedicated search can find those names in the death reports of law enforcers.
"The answer is 0, no one will become famous because of this, even if a video is filmed and posted on the Internet, it will soon be forgotten."
Despite the somewhat brutal truth, this is the case with this city.
Even death can't leave its mark on the city.
"How long do you think people will pay attention to this message? Five minutes, two minutes, or less than a minute? When I got off the plane today, I saw the trailer in the holographic projection at the airport, and for those who like stumps and blood, there are five movies that use VR technology on the screen this month, and the excitement brought by the movies is definitely much stronger than this video. ”
Roger and Zhuang Chi, who rushed to the roof of the building after hearing the news, involuntarily stopped, and they tiptoed against the wall without making the slightest sound.
Their section chief, on an ad hoc basis, took on the role of negotiator.
This was the first time they had seen Song Lan do a job in line with his identity as a law enforcer since they had met him.
"You can jump off the roof, and I just want to remind you that, at least in this city, you're never going to be famous for something like that."
"Then tell me, what exactly does it take to be famous?"
The cruel reality once again stimulated the woman, who frantically rubbed her long hair and made a mess of the long hair that was combed for filming.
Another dream of her fame was shattered.
Thinking about it, the inspiration she just mentioned was not from reality, but from a movie she couldn't even remember.
That movie didn't hit the ground running, and ended miserably in the 4th arrondissement.
"Alive."
Song Lan said.
"Alive?"
"It's much easier to live than to be famous through death."
Song Lan said, "The last person who became famous through death blew up the building of Tesla Technology with a tactical nuclear bomb, and if you want to become famous through death, you have to do at least that level." ”
"Heh, hehehe."
The woman seemed to hear something funny, and suddenly laughed, "You said to blow up the Tesla Technology building with a tactical nuclear bomb?" I've never done that in movies, and this kind of scene usually belongs to those well-known villains. ”
And in that kind of big-budget movie, the most she can play is a role with a line or even no line.
Acts as the back of the explosion, buried by the collapsing building without a face.
People don't even remember that there is such a person in the movie.
"Go to ***'s dream of fame!"
The woman faced the building in the distance and raised her middle finger viciously.
A holographic ad in the distance echoed her.
That's an ad for Chloe Films:
"What are you waiting for? You too can become a household name and become like them!'
At the end, the woman straightened her clothes that had become a little messy because of the filming just now, and the actor and the action director put their hands on her in the name of filming.
"I didn't expect to meet someone like you in District 4."
She looked at Song Lan.
"Someone like me?"
"No one in this city will miss the chance to be famous, even if it's just a 1% chance, and they'll be happy to take a video of me jumping from here and post it on their social media."
Saying that, the woman walked towards the way she came, "Maybe one day you will regret it, you don't have the opportunity to take a video of the fall every day, but ......"
When she passed by Song Lan, she lowered her voice and whispered in the latter's ear, "Be careful of this city, don't let it eat you." ”
……
"Section Chief, it looks like you still have two brushes!"
As soon as the woman left, Zhuang Chi and Roger walked out from behind the bunker and couldn't wait to come to Song Lan.
Roger praised from the perspective of a professional, "It's not easy for you to convince someone who wants to end their own life!" ”
Often, for someone who really wants to take a short look, something that someone with no professional training says is often counterproductive, "How did you come up with the idea to search for 23 stories about the people who fell from the building?" ”
"Chance."
Song Lan changed her words and asked, "You actually arrived a long time ago, and you have been hiding behind the door and not coming out?" ”
“…… Yes, because we think you can handle it, chief. ”
"The work attitude is not positive, and I criticize it by name."
Song Lan said.
Then he dialed Lu Xiang's phone in front of the two of them, and because of the emergency, his call to Lu Xiang was delayed for nearly 20 minutes.
"Hello?"
On the other end, Lu Xiang quickly connected the phone.
"We're in District 4."
"I know." Lu Xiang asked, "Zhuang Chi and Roger are with you now?" ”
"Yes, Director!"
Hearing Lu Xiang's voice, Zhuang Chi said excitedly on the phone, "You don't know, the section chief was amazing just now, he saved a woman with a big breasted foot!" ”
As soon as these words were spoken, both the roof of the hotel and the offices of the Law Enforcement Department of the 17th District fell into a dead silence.
The cold breath seems to be transmitted through the mobile phone.
Zhuang Chi met Song Lan's eyes.
For a moment, she felt that the section chief, who had just saved someone's life, was now trying to throw her off the roof of the hotel.
Thank you for the 100 starting coins that are super cute and pinched!
There's something going on tonight, so I can only update it for 5,000 words.
The small theater of its one hundred and seventy-six:
Saturday, evening, month, year, month, and day.
When night fell, Song Lan appeared in the kitchen on time, and every day off, he would prepare an extra dish.
The night heron was lying on the couch, looking at the kitchen with big eyes.
After about ten minutes, Lu Xiang walked out of the bedroom.
Today's Lu Xiang looks different from usual, her steps are a little vain, she is close to the sofa and unloads, and the whole person leans on the soft sofa cushion.
The night heron succeeds in attracting attention to the eccentric Lu Xiang.
She found that the latter's hand was holding her waist from time to time, and when she felt her gaze, she moved away with a weak heart, if the night heron remembered correctly, this should be Song Lan's exclusive action.
After a long time, the night heron, who couldn't hold back her curiosity, finally couldn't help but speak, her eyes were full of big question marks, "Are you injured?" ”
"That's not what you should know."
Lu Xiang deliberately straightened his face, glared at the night heron, and then followed her line of sight and glared viciously at the busy back in the kitchen.
She seriously suspected that the dumb bird had cheated, but she couldn't produce any evidence for a while.
This guy who kept shouting that he had reached his limit, and when he left the bedroom, he could even go into the kitchen to prepare dinner without changing his face.
What is this?
Soul form?
"If you don't ask, you don't ask."
The night heron pursed her lips.
Human waists are so fragile that they can hurt just staying at home.
She thought silently in her mind.
