After getting off work, Li Pan took a car to Regan's villa for a banquet.

Fortunately, he does have a clue in his hand now. According to the information revealed by Vajira, there is a man named Francis. Reagan's old guy was an insider of the 'Whisperer' project during the war.

Li Pan planned to find this person first, and then try to use his spiritual ability to ask him.

Yes, Li Pan has also tried his spiritual ability in the past few days, and it is useful, but it is not very useful.

Simple and clear commands, such as "sit down", "stop", "get out", are really useful.

However, requests such as "suicide", "draining the blood in the freezer", "transferring the money in your account to me", "do you know the whisperer", either explicitly against the other party's will, or the instructions are vague, or the definition cannot be clearly completed, or the other party needs to think about using their brains before answering, the other party has a certain probability of resisting and ignoring.

How to describe it, it's like talking to the low intelligent car machine in the prehistoric era, where you "turn on the air conditioner to 24 degrees, turn on the seat ventilation, turn on the seat heating, turn on the stereo, play Bo Bo Ji to navigate to the 4S store", said a lot, it was down for a long time, and it was speechless to reply to the sentence "The window has been opened......

Maybe it's because his spiritual power isn't enough, but anyway, let's try it first, and if that doesn't work, then consider violent means.

The Reagan family lives in a wealthy community in the central part of the city, and there is a private security company on duty on the periphery of the community, and the community is also full of luxury shopping malls, luxury stores, apartments, restaurants, and private villas.

At this time, in front of the high-gate compound of Regan's house, there were even more cars and horses, dignitaries from the official and business circles were weaving back and forth, and there were agents of the NCPA armed police and security bureau everywhere. The night clan, the three-headed dog troops, have also been transferred a lot to maintain law and order.

Not only the NCPA and the Security Bureau, but also the Municipal Administration, the Tax Bureau, the Bank, and even the Takamagahara side have a lot of people coming! What is Ben Duo Kubo, and the representatives of the Yuchai family, all kinds of Chinese landlords and nobles Tianlong people, all have representatives of congratulatory gifts.

Obediently, it's just that my niece is engaged, and I have a meal at a ceremony, and it's not a real formal wedding, so many central dignitaries and local tyrants can come?

But the Reagan family is not a giant like the Saco family, and they are not even tribunes? Could it be that these people are the power of connections accumulated by his family for nine generations? That's an exaggeration, isn't it......

Tsk, then this row of noodles is really full, and with such a big fanfare, it is estimated that the energy of the Ito family is not small.

However, the golden-waisted swallow is married to a cat and a dog Li Pan doesn't care, anyway, Ito Ryoma will definitely die, if today's negotiations have no practical effect, just use a juicer on him first.

There was an invitation letter personally signed by the police inspector Chadregan, and Li Pan naturally entered the Reagan family's villa unimpeded.

His plan for tonight was to focus on observing the old man and lady at the banquet and put Francis . Reagan found out, asked about the year, left after asking, found a place to catch a few ghosts to eat, and then continued to refine the blood god.

However, this person is actually not easy to find, after all, he does not have the internal authority of the Security Bureau, and the identity information of this group of key members cannot be searched at all, and 'old' is a relative concept.

Plastic surgery, reincarnation and prosthetics, any technique can be done to change the appearance, and there are various beauty essences to restore youth. And twenty years have passed, maybe this Frankie's has already changed his identity, and it's not okay to be sassy, and it's not impossible to be reincarnated as a beautiful girl directly.

However, Li Pan is not without opportunities. Again, not everyone has that much money and enjoys that level of service.

With the class of the Reagan family, it is not easy to survive in the NCPA system for nine generations, and it is not easy to maintain today's situation, Richard occupies the position of the director of police, and I don't know how many people are staring at the back of the buttocks, but I am afraid that I really dare not be greedy too much, and the family assets are estimated to be hundreds of millions, billions at most.

Give a person a reincarnation with 10 billion? Just kidding, the vast majority of company dogs can't move their legs when they see 100 million.

Although these people in the NCPA and the Security Service can use the security system to gain power for a while, they live on their wages in the final analysis. There may be a house, a car, a high-end implant, a million-dollar annual salary, and a debt-free salary, but that's it.

They don't really have 'assets'.

This world, and the countless worlds of the heavens, are all the stuff of the company.

Everything has long been divided up by those major shareholders and directors.

So if you look at it from the perspective of those lords of the heavens, all the other people, such as the 14 billion in 0791 and the 8 billion in 016, are just cockroaches and a group of parasites that have scurried into their houses.

And the overbearing 'magnates' of the Night City, the so-called defenders of the order of the committee, are just the slightly larger beneficial insects, spiders, geckos, small bees and the like among these parasites.

Therefore, from the perspective of the sanctity of private property, people have not cleaned up the insects in the house, and some garbage dumps have been vacated for you to live in, isn't that a great good person!

Have a heart of reverence! Know how to be grateful! Thanksgiving!

Ahem, cough cough is far away, in short, these beneficial insects are very smart, and they also know their identities and classes very well, so as soon as Li Pan appeared, he was surrounded by this group of stammering guys. One by one, they exchanged business cards, shook hands, and made friends.

Yes, in the eyes of bigwigs like Piderson, Kelman, and Sacco, Li Pan may be just a live bug, but he is at least an oversized, face-jumping, and scares his owner into screaming.

So he is, the overlord of the bugs!

But it's still bugs......

"Manager Li, Jiu Yang, Jiu Yang, Paul. Rod. ”

"Oh, Mr. Mayor, it's a pleasure."

Today is for private matters, and unlike Li Pan, most people have to rest in addition to going to work to write reports and do experiments, so they don't bring the social weapon of the priest.

So Li Pan, who is not good at communicating, was immediately surrounded and trapped by a group of insects. It was a change of business cards, a toast and a handshake, and Li Pan couldn't shoot them all to death, so he had to nod, mmmmmm, hello, hello, it's annoying.

But in the end, among these insects, there are one or two that Li Pan knows.

Paul Rhodes, currently the head of the Night City Administration, is well-informed and loves to be hung up and spanked by a shaker. Just the guy who played Truth or Dare last time in a nightclub.

Noticing that because of the mayor standing beside him, those crazy bees and butterflies who came up to rub him with electric buttocks shaking their chests were driven away by the security guards, and they didn't dare to come up and touch him one by one, Li Pan was also happy, and simply grabbed Paul M Rod, and continued to observe the audience while having nothing to say to him.

"Congratulations on your ascension, by the way, I don't know if the case of the former mayor has an eyebrow."

Paul Rhodes is also a discerning person, and when he saw that Li Pan still remembered himself, and seemed to have the meaning of chatting a few words, he also gladly accepted it,

"Oh, Mayor Lane, yes, it's a pity, it's a pity, Ryan is a good man, for the development of the Night City, he has done his best, it's really a pity to suffer this misfortune, I really can't figure out who has a grudge against him, maybe it's just pure luck.

Of course, the mayor was killed, and I, as my successor, am working with the NCPA Search Division to help them investigate Lane's social and work circles to see if there are any suspects. Maybe it will come to a conclusion soon. ”

"Oh? So Irene's case is now in charge of Erin? ”

"No, it's a lesson in the first lesson, and the Saburo Police Department is making up for the investigation, but I heard that he is a competent police detective who has been promoted from the front line, and he has been engaged in criminal investigation for at least 20 years, and he is an experienced veteran police officer.

As for Regan's vigilance, how to say it, she has the ability and the backbone of Regan's family, and she doesn't happen to be engaged and has no time. ”

Good guys, did you do it for twenty years in the search lesson or did you make up for it in the police department? And it was promoted from the front? Before he was promoted to the police department, I'm afraid I also wore a police uniform for ten years, right? At the starting line of graduation, he can survive for 30 years, which is awesome in every sense......

Li Pan nodded,

"Oh, so as soon as you encounter this kind of fish that you can't eat, and you get into a fishy trouble, the Reagan suddenly want to get married and have a drink, and try to hide far away."

Paul smiled and took a sip of champagne and gave a 'you get it' look.

Li Pan swept the audience, but at first glance, among the people in police uniforms, it seemed that none of them were of the same age as 'Francis. Regan's character, so he rolled his eyes and asked directly,

"Mr. Mayor, you are very familiar with the Reagan family, can you give me a general introduction, they are all here today?"

Paul gave a question: 'You've carried one of the main characters of tonight into a nightclub, isn't that better than me?' 's eyes, smiled,

"Not all, of course, but most of them are coming. However, there are indeed quite a lot of people in their family, and I heard that they still retain the belief tradition of having many sons and blessings in ancient times.

Well, Director Richard doesn't need me to say more, he is the current head of the Reagan family, the eldest son of former Superintendent Henry, and two younger brothers, Frank is a police inspector at Kansai Boundary Port, and Langley is in the Security Bureau.

The best of the next generation of the Reagan family are Richard's two sons, Daniel and James, and tonight's heroine, Frank's second daughter Irene. They are all NCPA police officers in key positions, and in the security system sequence, they are full civil servants and first-class police inspectors. And he is young and promising, and he will have the opportunity to be promoted to police supervisor in the future.

There are also some young people, distant relatives of uncles and nephews, but they are a little worse than them, they are all from the superintendent's police department, so let's ignore it. ”

Li Pan squinted, Nima ignored it from the police level, which is too exaggerated......

Li Pan asked curiously, "Who is the one who is talking to the police director now?" The nose and chin are a bit like that. Bastard? ”

Paul also looked at the tall, brown-haired young man,

"The superintendent of ESPD, who is also Regan, is a relative of Europa. I'm not familiar with Europa, but their Reagan family is originally a reincarnated cosmic descendant, and the council sent them to manage the NCPA, so there must be relatives over there. ”

"I see, but why haven't you seen the older generation? Is that Superintendent Henry gone? In terms of time, the person responsible for rebuilding the post-war NCPA system was Henry. Director of Reagan Police, right? He should also have a lot of family brothers to help out? ”

"I don't know ...... this"

Paul looked at Li Pan and whispered,

"But I've heard that many of the people involved in the war have battlefield syndrome, and all of them are being treated in sanatoriums in Europa. It may be physically conditioned and inconvenient for interstellar travel or QVN links. ”

"I see, thanks ......"

In other words, it has been 20 years, no matter how awesome the family is, those 'older generations' involved are still under house arrest by the committee and firmly guarded in the palm of their hands.

Tsk, isn't that the clue broken again, and he really doesn't give him a chance at all, so can't he match him with some stupid opponents......

Come on, that's still juicing...... Oh......

"By the way, Mr. Mayor, by the way, let me ask you more, what is the origin of that Ito Ryoma? His family is also in the security bureau system? But it shouldn't be worthy of Erin's family background, right? ”

In view of the fact that this lying silkworm Mei and Li Pan really have a broom-headed feud, Uncle Chen actually sent his file over a long time ago.

But Li Pan wants to use him to fish, and he is very busy, and he has no time to deal with it. But now that I think about it, I realize that something is unusual.

Judging from the files, Ito Ryoma is really nothing, his father Ito Takamori was just a cadre in charge of personnel in the Security Bureau at the beginning, with deputy director-level treatment, and now he is about to retire, and his resume is not particularly eye-catching, let alone a core member of the Security Bureau.

After all, if Ito Ryoma really has a family background and background, he can't arrange it directly, and he can't come to the Military Engineering Academy to grab a job opportunity with Li Pan, right?

And given that the two are in the same term, he has been in the company for four or five years, and now he has not risen to a high position, but he is just a special agent agent. The file was also transferred out by Uncle Chen, so it can be seen that in fact, there is no particularly awesome person behind the scenes, right?

But Irene. Reagan is different, whether it is by virtue of family background or ability, she has already achieved the NCPA search section of the police officer, and she is a first-level police inspector. This is put in the Security Bureau, at least the deputy director of the Investigation Department, not to mention the possibility of being promoted to police commissioner in the future.

So why is that Ito Ryoma climbing? That's not a big deal, is it? Why are so many people coming? Is it really all here to talk to Reagan? It doesn't seem like that, right......

Paul gave a look of 'I thought you really wouldn't ask?'

"The Ito family is in decline now, but it was a bit powerful before the war, and Ito Ryoma's grandfather was Ryan's predecessor. In the era of the Night City, which was also called the 13th New Tokyo, he served as the governor of Tokyo and was directly responsible to Oda Gong.

Before that, their family was a famous lord in Tokyo, and they had been in the secretarial system for a long time, and they would serve as the governor's inspector every few generations, and even the first, fifth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and thirteenth New Tokyo, all of which were planned and built by their family. ”

Oh yo it's a groove...... After doing it for a long time, he was the mayor of New Tokyo in the Takamagaharaa era......

Well, because when it comes to Takamagahara, Li Pan is all at the level of Oda and Tokugawa, and the governor of Tokyo is a retainer in charge of internal affairs in the final analysis, and this Ito is a local surname, so he really didn't pay much attention to it......

Oh, no wonder, no wonder, it makes sense.

The war was divided into winners and losers, Tokyo has become the capital of the night, the Ito family, no matter how powerful the former dynasty was, no matter how powerful it was in the past, it was difficult to escape the fate of being liquidated, even if it saved its life, now it is a complete loss of power, and it has been beaten into the cold palace.

But now the situation seems to have changed again, and seeing that Takamagahara is making a comeback again, the Ito family is naturally back in the spotlight of power again.

And the family's accumulation in the local area is far more than nine generations, and the power of this network and political resources are not even more far-reaching than the Reagan family!

No wonder I want to get married, this time it's clearly Reagan at Pan's family......

The family's political sense is really sensitive enough, and as soon as there is wind and grass in the west, they begin to build the front bridge and prepare to pave the road......

Li Pan rolled his eyes, and his mind moved.

That's right, that's just right, although the clues of the Reagan family are broken, but since the Ito family has so many relationships, you can squeeze it and check it! By the way, you can also take revenge!

So Li Pan rolled his eyes, crossed the crowd with a smile, pierced his palm with his fingertips, drew a blood urn, and walked straight towards a middle-aged lying silkworm eyebrow, and took the initiative to reach out.

"Oh, isn't this His Excellency Takamori Ito, what a coincidence, by the way, do you remember me?"

"You are ......"

Yes, this guy is the examiner that Li Pan met back then, Takamori Ito of the first department of the Security Bureau, the personnel department. His son's engagement ceremony, of course, he also attended.

Awesome! The security bureau is not even eighteen, so mark him with a talisman first, and when there is no one, give him the whole family......

"Manager Li! It's great to have you here, I'm waiting for you! ”

Unexpectedly, Richard Regan, who was still talking to the brown-haired young man on the side just now, suddenly changed his face, grabbed Li Pan's hand, and pulled him to his side enthusiastically.

Not only Ito Takamori, but even Li Pan was speechless for a while.

You're also a police director! Is it possible to turn on the acceleration to grab a handshake with him??

Even the brown-haired young man saw the flashing Dafa of the police inspector for the first time, and he was stunned for a while, so he had to resign first.

"Uh, didn't bother you, did you?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Jace asked me to move him around. Young people can't wait to get ahead, in fact, it is beneficial to experience more at the lower level, don't worry about him. ”

Richard Reagan smiled and pulled Li Pan to the back room,

"It's great that you can come, the little girl is waiting for you, she's injured, and she doesn't want to deal with too many people, in the backyard.

Angela is impatient and a little impulsive, but her heart is not bad, young people are everywhere, find some common language, and heat up quickly. ”

Li Pan, "......"

After all, it wasn't time to turn his face, and Li Pan couldn't throw the NCPA's police director out with a shake of his hand, so he had to let him pull him to the backyard.

Regan's backyard is the artificial lake of this wealthy community, as well as the pier and beach, and the scenery is really good. Angela. Reagan was sitting alone on a bench by the lake, with a bandage around his neck.

Richard stuffed two bottles of cold beer for Li Pan, and gave a thumbs up to cheer! Step up your game! Take her! gestures.

Li Pan was stared at by the old man's expectant eyes, and his scalp was numb for a while, so he had to take the beer and hand it over.

"Yo, Reagan Police Department. The injury is not better. ”

Angela took the beer,

"Thank you...... Who are you? ”

“……”

Li Pan turned his head to look at a police director who had accelerated to hide in the house.

Angela also saw it, so she sighed and gave up her place.

"Forget it, whatever, please sit ......"

Li Pan stood beside her, looking at the calm lake.

"Why didn't I see your sister?"

"Oh, she's not back yet. They have to run several times today, first going to the hotel of the Ye clan to meet with the important members of the political and business circles, and then going to Kabuki Street to have a drink with the Chinese people of the 'United Society' foundation, and finally they will come back to their homes and gather with their own people in the bureau. ”

Yes, it seems to be an official announcement. But it's the Night Clan and the United Society, Ito, no, Reika Yamada's energy is not small......

Li Pan looked at her and took a sip of wine...... Water......

"Don't you seem to be very happy? Don't worry, your father spoils you so much, he will definitely help you find a fast son-in-law who is far superior to Ito Ryoma. ”

Angela was silent for a while, then turned her head and glanced at Li Pan again,

"I remember you, two months ago, I saw you once at the gate of the hospital in the case of the Dongcheng Society."

Li Pan clapped his hands,

"Wow, my memory is really good, the police department, I really deserve to be the elite of NCPA!

I think that with your extraordinary ability, you must be highly used, maybe in two months, you will soar to the police prison! ”

Angela didn't care about Li Pan's cynicism, turned her head and took a sip of beer,

"No, I'm going to quit."

Li Pan looked at her inexplicably,

"Resign? Are you afraid? Because I almost got my neck wiped this time? ”

"It's a little bit ......," Angela looked at the lake, "but ...... Mainly, I think...... It's useless to be a police commissioner. ”

Li Pan raised his eyebrows,

"Useless? There are a total of 20 in the entire 0791 earth, and the chief of police in the megalopolitan area, the police inspector, useless? ”

Angela shook her head and fell silent.

Li Panhan, don't, you really resign, don't tell the old man what he said!

So Li Pan looked around at no one, cleared his throat, and adjusted his tone.

"What's going on, let's talk about it."

Angela was silent for a moment and spoke,

"Last month, I was patrolling the streets and encountered a case where two gangs had a dispute, and someone shot someone in the street for money or drugs, and killed someone."

Li Pan was inexplicable, "Oh, does it sound like it's just the daily life of the night capital." ”

Angela nodded.

"Yes, every day, so the people in the group are too lazy to care, just me, I checked for a week, and finally caught the main culprit.

That gangster, he was only fourteen years old, he had a paralyzed mother and three younger sisters to support at home, all of them were illegal immigrants, and he really had no money, so he accepted the gang's bounty and collected 5,000 yuan to be a gunman.

Although it was very pitiful, I still sent him back to the prison, but because he was not an adult, and he was not a citizen who died, I was finally sentenced to a fine of 15,000 and three years, and the prison management fee was 12,000 yuan......"

Li Pan waited for a while, and Angela took a deep breath and said in one breath,

“…… I helped him advance some money, and then I went to my brother and helped his family apply for emergency relief and send it to his house...... When I went to his house......

Call...... I heard that the enemy came to the door and threw Molotov cocktails, and no one escaped at night......

So I went and arrested the arsonist again...... Caught, this one is only nine years old, he didn't even have a reward, I asked him why, he said it was his buddy who died, I asked him why he set the fire, he said he couldn't afford a gun......

…… Fack, it's not like I've never seen dead people, or this or that, but ...... But I suddenly felt ...... Falk ......"

Angela sat still for a while, and then suddenly collapsed, as if struck by great sadness, she covered her face, and tears rolled down her face as if the thread had broken.

"Fack...... What a...... What a...... It's never over...... It's never over...... Fark ...... Falk ......"

Li Pan sighed, sat down beside her, toasted, and threw the bottle into the lake,

"Welcome to the City of Night."
