By any measure, the founder of Chloe Films is dead, and he is very thorough, and judging by the signs left by the explosion at the scene, Catherine feels that not to mention transplanting a prosthetic, even if she changes herself into a Transformer, she will not be able to escape the sanctions of a miniature tactical nuclear bomb.

"Maybe it's a stand-in who died?"

Lu Xiang thought of a possibility.

This is a new term she learned when she watched a movie with Song Lan on the weekend, a term that comes from the pre-war world, in some ancient historical records, some important people in order to guard against assassinations, often cultivate some people who look like themselves as stand-ins, and let them replace themselves as the target of the killer when necessary.

She still remembers that the movie was called "Shadow Warrior", which was an early work of Chloe Films, in which the main character was one of the stand-ins for an important person, but in the end, the series did not continue due to the dismal market response.

However, the existence of these stand-ins brought Lu Xiang some new ideas.

In 2167, the cost of cultivating stand-ins was greatly reduced, and they no longer needed to go through years of training and training, Dr. Shiratake said that as long as their consciousness was uploaded to the Internet and downloaded to each clone, a large number of stand-ins could be produced.

What made Lu Xiang find it quite strange was that in the incident in the first district, neither the speaker nor those important councillors used this technology.

Catherine's eyes lit up, "You mean clones?" ”

Her students always bring new ideas to her, "Human cloning did prevail in the core for a while, and it was the first attempt at immortality by the higher-ups. ”

Theoretically, as long as this technology is used properly, it can indeed perpetuate human consciousness, and even give parliamentarians the possibility of rejuvenation, so researchers once built a terminal for storing personality data, which they called the "sea of souls".

"But in the process of 'Sea of Souls' and cloning technology research, the higher-ups have retreated, do you know why?"

"For individuals, death is still inevitable and may even hasten their death."

Catherine's answer surprised her, and she gave her student a deep look, and the latter's answer was as if she had experienced that era.

But in terms of time, Lu Xiang was not born at that time, and even Catherine herself learned these inside stories after joining the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau and becoming an official.

Lu Xiang said, "The essence of this technology is not continuation, but replication and pasting, once there is a younger and healthier individual, the old ontology loses the meaning of existence." ”

She and Bai Zhu had discussed this issue specifically, and the other party mentioned that many years after the project was suspended, some researchers had contacted her privately, hoping that Bai Zhu could revive the project in the Sixth Neutral Country.

"Exactly."

Catherine nodded with satisfaction, Lu Xiang always made her satisfied in all aspects, and it also made her feel more and more that the Investigation Bureau's failure to hire Lu Xiang was a major mistake, "Although the researchers advocate that the uploaded consciousness will be properly preserved in the 'Sea of Souls', it is as simple as replacing a prosthetic body for them, but the higher-ups are aware of the threat that this plan poses to them. ”

After a pause, she said, "It may be a great technological innovation from the point of view of the coalition government, but few people have such awareness, and I have recently found that the longer people live, the more afraid death will take everything from them." ”

This is what Catherine sees as it is.

In fact, the coalition government is still in charge of the original founders, and biopharmaceuticals and prosthetics have extended their lifespans, allowing them to live to be over 150 years old, and they still invest huge amounts of manpower and material resources in these fields every year to make them live longer.

However, at present, biopharmaceutical technology has entered a bottleneck period, and there has been no breakthrough for several years.

"As far as I know, all the researchers involved in the Sea of Souls project at the time were closely monitored by the intelligence services of the coalition government, and if the founder of Chloe Pictures really used this technology, you would have to find the forces behind him, and being able to create a clone in such a short period of time means that they have a biological laboratory in District 4."

Lu Xiang noticed the details in Catherine's words and asked, "The Investigation Bureau doesn't plan to continue?" ”

"I'm not Daystar's teacher now, Lu Xiang."

Catherine sighed, "There are a lot of things I can only listen to, and now they just want to close the case as soon as possible." ”

Just like she couldn't decide whether the Investigation Bureau would hire Lu Xiang or not, she didn't continue to follow up on the case.

Allowing Lu Xiang to enter the scene of the explosion is already an illegal operation, and if her immediate boss knows about it, it is estimated that it will inevitably be a verbal warning.

But the stronger the reaction from above, the more uneasy she felt.

This made Catherine wonder how many other people used this technology besides the founder of Chloe Films?

"If nothing else, I'm going to be transferred out of this case and forced to take a leave of absence."

Catherine smiled bitterly, this was the usual method of the Bureau of Investigation against some disobedient staff, Agent Angley Suffron of the Bureau was a frequent visitor to the special treatment in the past, and now his wanted warrant was still hanging on the bulletin wall of the General Bureau.

It is reported that he fled to the "outside world" not long ago, and it is not known how he is doing now.

As he spoke, a hovercar with the Bureau of Investigation logo on the door slowly drove into the scene.

"Well, they're coming."

Catherine had been prepared for this for a long time, and said, "This is probably the last hint that the teacher can give you, Lu Xiang, if you still care about the truth, I'm afraid you will have to investigate it yourself." ”

…………………………………

At the same time, Song Lan, who was resting on the hotel bed, received a report from a worried Mr. Gu, who claimed that Monica had been contacted privately by suspicious characters, who were suspected to be a criminal gang that abducted ignorant girls, and that he was weak and hoped to get help from the law enforcement officers in the 17th district.

The agreed time was in the afternoon, and the place was the coffee shop where the explosion occurred yesterday.

After the destruction of the Chloe Film Building, the law enforcers cordoned off the entire neighborhood, which Mr. Igu saw as the perfect place to kidnap and sell ignorant girls.

If Song Lan hadn't personally experienced yesterday's incident, I'm afraid she would have believed in the other party's evil.

If he guessed correctly, the ignorant girl mentioned by the other party is probably the terrorist who detonated a miniature tactical nuclear bomb in the villa area yesterday.

The only thing that puzzled Song Lan was that until now the coalition government had not issued a wanted warrant for Monica.

With Song Lan's understanding of the coalition government, they should be able to take the blame for the death of "Black Sand".

Murder of national-level rescuers, as well as the top executives and founders of Chloe Films.

Coupled with the series of terrorist activities she has engaged in, the bounty starts at least eight figures, and may even exceed everyone's good friend Mr. "Mouse".

However, at present, the information given by the law enforcement department of the fourth district is that the prisoner is at large, and they are still trying to investigate.

They couldn't even throw the cauldron on Troy, who had already been arrested.

On the one hand, the hackers of this civil killer group are still unconscious, and on the other hand, he is unable to carry out the assassination of the founder of Chloe Pictures while he is locked up in the bureau.

The enforcers of District 4 are anxious about this, and they should be in dire need of a hero who has fallen from the sky to help them solve the case.

Out of duty to the law enforcer, Song Lan finally agreed to Mr. Gu's request.

After the two met, they inevitably tugged again.

This time, Song Lan adhered to her principles and insisted on returning the two gold cards handed by Gustav, which caused the customers of the tea restaurant to look sideways, after all, it was a bit rare for two big men to pull and pull like wrestlers in broad daylight, and the anxious waiter stood on the side for a long time, stunned and unable to intervene.

The café is air-conditioned and offers free Wi-Fi, and is the location Gustav chose after his observations.

After the two took their seats, Song Lan learned about what happened this morning.

She was contacted in the name of Monica's father, hoping to see her in the afternoon.

Monica, on the other hand, is not the type of person who gets angry on the spur of the moment, and she tells the other party about it as soon as Gustav returns, and intends to set up an ambush in turn.

Gustav also fully showed his cautious side, after he couldn't contact Qi He for a whole night, he knew that the situation had changed, but they were currently limited in manpower, and almost none of the people in the organization were in the fourth district except for him, in order to avoid becoming a stepping stone for unknown enemies, he decisively adopted the tactic of calling friends and dialed Song Lan's phone.

The phrase "going out with friends" is very instructive at any time.

Song Lan had to look at the man in front of her again.

Not everyone can always maintain a cautious and cautious code of conduct, and strong power is often a curse, and it is easy for people to adopt A-up tactics as soon as their heads are hot, and in this regard, the "emperor", known as the strongest six-star rescuer of the coalition government, is the opposite teaching material.

In the first district, he paid a terrible price for himself single-handedly against the botanists.

Song Lan felt that Gustav's spirit was worthy of affirmation, after all, this matter was likely to involve the existence of the RT1-RT3 level, and it was better to ask him for help in advance than to let him conduct a brain-burning analysis from the corpse or the results of Monica's abduction after the incident.

Not only that, but he also got a free lunch.

Before the appointed time came, the two climbed over the barrier early and hid in the shadows.

Gustav speculated that the appearance of Monica at this juncture was likely a counterattack by the founders of Chloe Films, who were in no hurry to release Monica's wanted warrant.

After getting the news that the two were in place, Monica also came to the agreed place as promised.

The minutes ticked by, and the unsettling atmosphere crept through the silence.

I don't know how long later, a figure appeared in the sight of the two.

Unlike the killer in their imaginations, it took a lot of effort for the Visitor to just avoid the law enforcers patrolling the perimeter, and he looked like he was in his early forties, dressed like a company guy who had just left work.

It is conservatively estimated that such people don't need them to make a move, and Monica herself can fight several by himself.

Song Lan turned her face sideways and glanced at Gustav with suspicious eyes.

However, Gustav beside him was stunned, and he muttered to himself, "This ...... No way. ”

"What can't be?"

"He's Monica's father, but he didn't ...... a long time ago"

"The one who got hit by a car bomb?"

Song Lan looked at the man a few more times.

"Qi He has investigated the files, and he has also sent someone to check the scene, confirming the news of his death, Monica's mother too, and Chloe Pictures does not plan to stay alive."

Monica also seemed stunned by this result.

The expected battle did not come, but entered a long, smooth conversation.

Not long after the man walked into the coffee shop, Monica unilaterally cut off the voice communication, and Song Lan and Gustav could only see the two of them find a ruin here and there and sit down.

"Monica is a careful child, and she will never be easily deceived."

Gustav had a heartbeat, but to Song Lan, it was more like trying to convince himself.

In the eyes of an outsider from a neutral point of view, the atmosphere of Monica's conversation with his father was not to the point of tension, and the conversation was mainly dominated by middle-aged men, Song Lan guessed that the man should be explaining to Monica why he did not leave a single message after "death" and disappeared for so many years.

The conversation lasted for nearly half an hour, during which no physical altercation broke out, until after the man left, Monica sat on the broken ruins without saying a word, her eyes very lost.

In Song Lan's view, Gustav behaved more like an anxious old father at this time, witnessing the whole process of his daughter's encounter with a gang of human traffickers.

And the one who tried to kidnap Monica was her biological father, who had been dead in the car bomb for many years.

"From the perspective of absolute fairness and justice, you are more like a member of an abduction ring."

Song Lan expressed her opinion, "Are you sure Monica's father did die in a car bomb case?" ”

"Sure."

Gustav replied without hesitation.

"What about the evidence?"

“…… The evidence is in the Qi River. ”

"So, have you actually seen any evidence that can conclusively prove this?"

"No...... Are you suspicious of us? ”

"It doesn't matter what I think."

Song Lan shook her head, "The important thing is that Monica should ask you the same question in a short time, how are you going to prove that what she just saw and heard is false?" ”

As he spoke, the figure of the middle-aged man faded away, and soon disappeared around the corner of the street.

And at this moment, the long-interrupted contact was connected.

"Where is Qi He?"

Monica directly stated her intentions, "I want to see him." ”

Thank you to my friend for staying up late and not rewarding 100 starting coins!

The small theater of its one hundred and ninety-eight:

Tuesday, noon, day, year, month, day.

The wedding is imminent, and Lu Xiang has made some small plans.

After some thought, she decided it was time to put having children on her agenda.

She never fights unprepared battles, and the next morning, she bought a complete set of baby care books from the Internet, and these tutorials replaced the "Love Tips Every Day" series as her new daily must-read books.

On the other side, Maydell and Shirotake had already decided on the time and venue, and this time only the insiders were invited, and the swarm leaders from all over the country would come to participate.

Lu Xiang thought about it, and finally decided to set the location in the seventeenth district.

It's a city that means a lot to her, and it makes her feel that life is really full of amazing encounters.

was rejected by the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau and sent to a border city with a very poor security environment, which should have been the darkest moment in her life, but she met Song Lan in this border town.

"Song Lan."

She closed the book and called out to the other.

Song Lan, who was lying on the table basking in the sun and napping, narrowed his eyes slit.

Lu Xiang vaguely remembered that when he first went to the logistics department to check his work, Song Lan was lying on his desk lazily like now.

"Huh?"

"Medell has already sent her wedding dress, don't forget to take pictures in the afternoon."
