Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

6 a.m.

The frozen city began to gradually heat up, and the New Year's morning began.

"Boss! Here's a bowl of noodles."

In a noodle shop that has just opened, the owner is cutting vegetables.

"Good customer, what kind of flavor do you want?"

The voice at the door seemed a little low. As soon as the boss raised his head, his expression changed. A woman wearing the uniform of Section 2 came in. The boss' scalp instantly became numb.

"If you want beef flavor, add two slices of meat."

Mo Xiaolan sat on a small table in the noodle shop, and the boss immediately nodded and said.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

The boss's originally happy face became a little stiff. At this time, some people also walked into the store, but after seeing Mo Xiaolan wearing the uniform of Section 2, they ran out immediately.

In recent years, there have been more and more rumors about Section 2. Many people have been directly arrested secretly, and entering Section 2 will definitely make you lose your skin.

There are rumors that if you make some inappropriate remarks on the Internet, you may be arrested by Section 2. Section 2 seldom shows up on weekdays. Most of the time, you can see a person from Section 2 on the street, and it is almost impossible to see someone from Section 2. possible.

Although the name of Section 2 on the surface is enough to explain what their functions are, no one can see it, and it is said that the methods of Section 2 are very cruel. It was once revealed that a criminal became unconscious after coming out of Section 2. I don't know, it seems like he was treated inhumanely.

There are more and more rumors about Section 2, which are so scary that people feel scared. One of them once came out with a creepy incident. Someone found that things at home had been touched after returning home. Normal surveillance did not do anything. problem, but after taking out the secret surveillance, it was discovered that a large number of people from Section 2 entered his home to investigate something. This video was deleted within a few hours after it appeared, and the originally loud comments were also deleted. Gone.

"Add an egg boss!"

Mo Xiaolan said, looking at the people at the door who were close but sitting far away. Many of them were staring at him.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?"

The moment Mo Xiaolan stood up, those who were looking here lowered their heads. Mo Xiaolan also knew what people in the city think of the 2nd Section now, but the 2nd Section has become too restrained. Many surveys in the past They are all based on suspicion, and direct forcible arrests or sneak investigations are common.

Although some criminals were indeed arrested and some results were achieved, in Mo Xiaolan's opinion, only four or five of the 100 operations were successful, and they had indeed caused certain harm to the city.

Now Mo Xiaolan is responsible for the investigation of economic crimes, which is a relatively easy job, because she has been tracking the bombing case ten years ago, and today she finally has some clues, and the results will soon be known.

Many people in the department have temporarily put the case aside, as well as the prison riot case in 2204. The two cases seem to have no connection, but Mo Xiaolan knows very well that only the mysterious Prometheus can Do it.

What is this name that has been hidden behind it all this time? This is what Mo Xiaolan has been tracking down for so many years.

Including various criminal cases that occurred later, Mo Xiaolan has already figured out part of the intricate and huge connections.

Although there is still no evidence enough to prove that after these criminal incidents ultimately affected society and the economy, and after the final interaction at all levels, the beneficiaries were the Hillman family. It was all too coincidental.

Why not the Angus family, the Su family, the Chen family, or other big families in the city.

At this time, the relief on Mo Xiaolan's face disappeared again, and a bowl of hot noodles was brought over, covered with several thick slices of meat and two fried eggs next to it.

"Boss, I ordered two pieces of meat and one fried egg."

"Sir, please eat slowly, this is a gift."

Mo Xiaolan's mood has improved a little. Over the years, she has always felt that her father's sudden death was not an accident. Huashen has tried every means to list a large number of substances in her father's body that have undergone chemical changes. These substances Although there is still not enough evidence to support that it can cause sudden cardiac death, Mo Xiaolan has known from a very young age that there must be a connection between things. If you explore the connection, you can clearly understand it. displayed.

In order to be able to figure out the explosion that year, the only way is to start with that kind of single crystal explosive. Just last year, Section 10 finally figured out how to make this kind of single crystal explosive and successfully made it. However, there are Many different types of single crystal explosives.

Mo Xiaolan had been asking Section 10 to conduct explosion tests. He could only use the power of the explosion, the chemical substances released, etc., and finally created a single crystal explosive that was most consistent with the explosion 10 years ago.

Then there is a long-term follow-up investigation of all companies that were able to obtain these raw materials 10 years ago, because many of them are controlled substances, and these companies are qualified, otherwise it would be difficult to obtain such dangerous controlled substances.

From the beginning, more than 100 large and small manufacturing companies were investigated one by one, and the scope was narrowed down. The leaked video of Section 2's illegal home invasion investigation was just for investigation, so they sneaked into the home of a chemical engineer.

Under Mo Xiaolan's arrangement, more than 1,000 break-in investigations were conducted, and finally the targets were targeted at 10 chemical raw material production companies. In early December last year, the investigation was finally completed.

Finally, through the financial statements recorded by Section 7 over the years, including the past volume of raw material shipments of these companies stored by Section 6, it was finally confirmed that a medium-sized company had a serious excess of material shipments. Although the company did not A specific explanation is given, but the problem of differentiation in the release of such materials is that they are released during some special and chaotic periods.

Many things cannot be found in detail, but the person responsible for trading these raw materials at that time can be found.

Mo Xiaolan also made a comparison and found that there were a total of 103 people involved in the transaction of 234 types of controlled materials. 34 of them had died. Some of the remaining people had resigned, and some were still in the chemical production company.

Mo Xiaolan just came here today to continue the investigation. In such an era, if someone can commit such a highly concealed crime without any trace, she should have prepared a back-up plan, so Mo Xiaolan is not in a hurry, she plans to go along with it. This line will uncover the guy behind the scenes.

"No matter who you are, if you are caught by me."

crunch

Accompanied by a violent braking sound and a violent crash, Mo Xiaolan immediately got up and ran out. Many people on the street were holding their phones. Not far away was the door of a chemical company called Jianbei. , a black sports car hit the pillar at the company's entrance, and Mo Xiaolan ran over quickly.

"Don't stand nearby. If it's a bacterial battery, you don't want to live."

Many people hurriedly ran away in fear. Mo Xiaolan quickly confirmed the model of the sports car. It was a new sports car from the Phoebes family. It used the latest aerodynamic technology. She breathed a sigh of relief and came here. In this place, you can only see the mixed lumps of plasma and minced meat that are still coming out.

Mo Xiaolan directly took out his phone and brought up a light and shadow screen. He quickly saw the surveillance screen. When approaching the company, the car suddenly accelerated more than 500 meters away and drove at a speed of more than 300 yards. He came over, and then hit the pillar in time and space. Looking at the deceleration airbag that had not deployed, Mo Xiaolan's first thought was only the car body failure.

At this time, an ambulance had arrived on the street, including a car from Section 5. Mo Xiaolan stood aside and began to explain the situation to the leader of the Section 5 team who came over.

The squad leader listened respectfully to what Mo Xiaolan said, because Mo Xiaolan had a three-pointed star on his hat, which was the lowest position in Section 2.

Soon the people at the hospital took out cutting tools, and after collecting DNA, they immediately confirmed the identity of the deceased.

Zhang Ke, senior chemical engineer at Jianbei Chemical Company.

Mo Xiaolan's eyes widened in an instant, and he immediately walked out of the crowd, came to an alley, and pulled up Zhang Ke's information. He was a senior chemical engineer with more than 20 years of experience. He was the most suspect.

5 minutes ago

Didi didi

Along with a violent sound, Eddie woke up from his deep sleep. The moment he opened his eyes, screens of light and shadow appeared in front of him. With a bunch of flames rising, Prometheus appeared in Eddie's eyes. around.

"What's wrong?"

Eddie just looked at a light and shadow screen, and his sleepy eyes opened instantly. He saw a Section 2 member sitting in the noodle shop on the screen, as well as the information of the Section 2 member next to him.

"Zhang Ke has been notified. He should get up and rush to the company."

The solemn look on Eddie's face disappeared in an instant, becoming extremely relaxed, and he nodded.

"That's good. As long as Zhang Keyi dies, they won't be able to find anything. But being able to find this place means that Section 2 has already found something, other points."

"Sir Eddie, please rest assured that the connection at each point will only take 5 to 10 minutes to be completely disconnected."

Eddie hummed and looked at a light and shadow screen. A man ran out in a panic, got into a black sports car and drove quickly onto the highway.

The car had been tampered with half a year before Zhang Ke bought it. This was Prometheus' advice. The only way to prevent the crime from being exposed was to kill the key points.

Eddie knew very well that he originally planned to continue doing some transactions with Zhang Ke. After all, he could get a lot of dangerous controlled substances from his hands, but now he can no longer use them. After Zhang Ke received the notice from Prometheus, He should be very panicked, because once he is arrested, his crime of making money by privately selling dangerous goods will be enough to start with 30 years.

Zhang Ke would probably want to find a way to destroy some things before the official investigation by the Business Department, because he had already listened to Prometheus's advice and prepared everything.

Smart traffickers usually choose to leave some evidence when dealing with criminals to protect themselves, but precisely because of this idea, they often put themselves in danger.

Eddie picked up a bottle of wine next to him, unscrewed it and took a sip. On one of the light and shadow screens, the car actually hit a big pillar. Prometheus next to him laughed and kept shaking the flames.

"Very good! Today I have to go to Angus' house to sign the land purchase contract. Wake me up at 8 o'clock."

Eddie fell asleep peacefully and closed his eyes. The light and shadow screens disappeared one after another. Prometheus also separated and disappeared, and the room returned to darkness again.

Now

Mo Xiaolan looked at Zhang Ke's information with a solemn expression. Now the guy who was the most suspected was dead because of an accident.

At this time, as a helicopter landed, the Phoebus family's automotive engineers came to the scene. Mo Xiaolan walked over directly and asked them to check in detail what was wrong with the car.

In recent years, because of the AI ​​auxiliary system and the monitoring on electric poles along the way, when the car may be in danger, it will control the car to slow down, and even automatically pop up the airbags around the body to ensure the safety of the car. The probability of traffic accidents is very high. The number is low, with more than 20 cases occurring a year. Most of them are caused by the lack of regular security inspections of vehicles and aging equipment.

"Is it really just an accident?"

At this time, an automotive engineer seemed to have found the reason after checking the airbags on the periphery of the car body. A group of automotive engineers were dismantling the car body and soon found the reason why the airbag did not pop up. The air valve of the airbag was damaged.

The specific situation required a more precise inspection. Mo Xiaolan did not leave, but planned to stay at the scene, or even follow him to Phoebus's house, to conduct on-the-spot inspections, and then leave after reaching a conclusion.

6:36 am

Located on the Golden Street on the middle floor, a large number of people were waiting at the door of Department 7. Many people looked a little solemn, while some looked a little happy, carrying heavy suitcases in their hands.

The door of Section 7 will open at 7 o'clock. Today, most of the businessmen from the 120 districts in the city come to Section 7 to handle loan matters.

Section 7 has completed certain changes in just a few years. In the Wallet Management Section, borrowing money may have incurred some interest in the past, but now as long as there are enough assets as collateral, there is no interest on borrowing, but it must be within the regulations. Repay within the time limit, January 1st of each year is the repayment date for most businessmen.

If the money is not paid, interest will start to accrue. What most businessmen are worried about today is that 7ke released some financial statements at the end of last year and held many video conferences, so the loan must be called back. Only the money you have to pay will do.

There is another way of not paying out the money, which is to directly seize the assets you mortgaged at the time and conduct an auction. The proceeds from the auction will make up for this amount and part of the overtime interest on the loan, and the rest of the money will be returned to you.

The Wallet Management Department is no longer like banks in the past. It is an iron rule not to use depositors' money to make profits. In the past, many bank employees used some hidden regulations in the bank to provide financing and loans to some businessmen. To make a profit.

Section 7 Chief Jin Mangan and Secretary Vivian have dealt with most of the past bank executives. Many of them were detained for dereliction of duty, their assets were confiscated, and they were thrown into prison, leaving them with nothing.

Most businessmen are feeling uneasy at this time. Some businessmen have borrowed money for more than four or five years, but they have only paid some interest and not repaid the money at all. Businessmen who used to have good relationships with banks have become very poor in recent years. Uncomfortable.

There will be a brief symposium this morning, and after the symposium the fate of most businessmen will be decided.

Some businessmen even have money in their hands, but they refuse to pay it back. Instead, they invest it in other industries. In order to avoid investigation, some businessmen even colluded with internal employees of past banks to use shell assets as collateral to obtain the money. Later, they started other industries with low interest rates. Finally, after the bank paid off their assets, the businessmen declared bankruptcy and did not need to pay back the money.

However, at the end of November last year, the Asset Mortgage Law officially passed by the Lawyers Association and Section 8 stipulates that even if you go bankrupt, you must pay back the money. All the information of the bankrupt will be thoroughly checked. As long as bricks and tiles can be found, they will be impounded and returned. If they fail to pay, they will be forced to work in certain places, and money will be deducted from their wages every month until the debt is paid off. If they still refuse to pay back the money, they will be directly forced to work on the farm until the debt is paid off.

In addition to Section 7's almost daily televised speeches at the end of the year, many businessmen were carrying money early this morning with the intention of paying back the money, while some looked bitter because they had invested in other industries and had no money to pay back.

Time passed by, and many businessmen wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

7 o'clock sharp

The door of Section 7 opened, and businessmen began to pour in. Some businessmen carrying money quickly went to some service desks to go through the procedures for returning the debt, and then paid back the money.

The whole process is very fast. Nowadays, the work efficiency of Section 7 is much faster than that of the previous bank. Someone has already handed over a box of money, and people from Section 7 immediately came out and started counting. In less than 10 minutes, it was done. Already completed the formalities and left.

At this time, some businessmen who had not paid yet entered a large conference room on the right side of the hall under the guidance of a Section 7 director.

As soon as they entered, the merchants saw section chief Jin Mian, secretary Vivian, and more than a dozen directors preparing something on the stage. Many merchants had unhappy faces.

7:21

Nearly 500 businessmen sat down, waiting for the upcoming symposium.

"First of all, thank you for coming here early this morning! I am Jin Mangan, the section chief of Section 7."

Vivian smiled and stood next to Jin Mn. At this time, several council officers set up a giant light and shadow screen.

All the businessmen were shocked. Looking at the chart above, 70% of the businessmen were in debt for 5 years, 20% for 3 to 5 years, and 10% for 1 to 3 years.

"I have already said this a lot last month. Please ask those whose names will be called later to come to the Section 5 Public Security Management Station to assist in the investigation."

Suddenly someone stood up and spoke confidently.

"What crime have we committed? Don't abuse your power!"

The venue began to boil. Jin Mian scratched his head. A large number of voices of protest began to be heard below. Vivian on the side could no longer hold it in anymore, but she still did not stop it. The directors also stood aside. , quietly looking at the angry businessmen below.

The voices of the merchants became louder and louder, and the initial resistance turned into curses. On the huge light and shadow screen, the names of merchants continued to appear. At this time, some merchants' calls also received calls that needed to reach 5 There is a 12-hour time limit for accepting the information under investigation. Once exceeded, you will be forcibly arrested.

At this time, someone's voice was slightly lowered, because the crime involved was fraud, which made many people panic, and it was a crime of egregious fraud. Once this crime was established, it would involve other crimes. Crime, starting at least 20 years.

However, the voices of dissatisfaction continued, and gradually the voices of the businessmen began to unite. Everyone felt that the business department did not have any evidence and that this was an unfair arrest.

Some savvy businessmen also realized that Xingke was planning to settle accounts in the future, and they couldn't sit still anymore. They brought up the light and shadow panel to do something, but found that the network was directly blocked.

Some people left their seats and planned to leave directly, but found that the door to the conference room had been locked.

Bang bang

Someone kicked the door angrily, showing no intention of staying.

Many people know very well that in the past, they went to the local bank to get a lot of funds, and they made a lot of money with these funds. They thought that the problem of this construction chaos could be avoided. After all, after the construction of the factory area started, the number of investment projects increased. Many businessmen still prioritized interests. In the past, they relied on bank loans to get through the difficult times safely, but now they can pay back the debt in a short period of time. Don't pay for it.

Looking at the chaos below, Jin Mangan sat down without saying anything, and then took out some tea. Some directors came over and started making tea. Alpha had already sent a message early this morning, giving them the most If the negotiation cannot be completed within 12 hours, these guys will all be convicted of fraud and arrested without leaving a single one behind.

There is still a lot of time, counting from 8 o'clock in the morning, Jin Mian, Vivian and others in Section 7 all know that if these businessmen collapse, it will have a big impact on the city.

It has been particularly difficult for ordinary people to borrow money in the past few years, but businessmen can borrow money. This is unfair to many people. Even some businessmen with problematic assets and direct connections to crimes can still borrow money. Money is available, but it is difficult for ordinary people to borrow money.

The most serious of these is that some businessmen come to banks to borrow money under the guise of charity, but in fact they end up making money. The funds they promised to invest in charity at the beginning are basically never seen.

The behavior of the businessmen has already offended Alpha's bottom line. This time Alpha's attitude is very tough, especially for those businessmen who have successfully borrowed money under the guise of charity, and will not show mercy.

"Even if they are allowed to sleep on the street and their families are ruined, they still have to get back every penny of their debt!"

Thinking of Alpha's original words, Jin Mangan was helpless. After all, in recent years, in order to alleviate the deterioration of business in the city due to construction problems, the city has opened up a large number of privileges to merchants.

One of them is a small workshop that can obtain business qualifications with the guarantee of a businessman. The businessmen only collect money from those who want to open a small workshop and ignore the others. In the last crime investigation, although most businessmen did not participate He committed a crime, but because of his guarantee, he suffered a punitive fine, but many businessmen still didn't take it seriously.

Due to the deterioration of business, social problems began to appear in most areas. Problems such as seriously ill patients, orphans, disabled people, the homeless, mentally ill scavengers, illegal households, etc. began to appear continuously.

Congress has opened up a lot of conveniences to businessmen. Among them, businessmen who promise to assume some social responsibilities can easily obtain loans and have priority in construction.

Many businessmen have made money, but in the end they have failed to assume corresponding social responsibilities. Some have even made many social donations from the perspective of charity operators. As a result, these funds were not used in the entire year of last year. After verification by the department, many of them were just verbal promises. The specific time when the money would be received was just due to operating difficulties and had to wait.

This rogue method is vividly demonstrated by the businessmen. Now Alpha plans to thoroughly punish these dishonest businessmen.

Many businessmen still don't know the seriousness of the situation and are still making a fuss. They feel that they are so huge that the business department dare not take action. After all, the city is still developing upwards. If they fail, many people will lose their jobs.

Jin Mn didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore, but planned for them to calm down on their own and then talk slowly. It was useless no matter what he said now, the businessmen had already started to act rogue.

"Let them continue to make trouble. I have snacks here. Do you want to eat them?"

As Jin Mian spoke, he took out a lot of snacks from the cabinet under the table, opened a pack of shortbread cookies, took out a piece and handed it to Vivian. More than 20 directors also gathered around. .

A female director moved some tables and chairs in the back, and many people sat there. Vivian directly took out a deck of cards, and one director also took out playing cards, and everyone started to sit down. Played while drinking tea.

"I really can't take it anymore."

Vivian muttered, and Jin Mian shook his head.

"At this time, let them reflect on themselves. If they can't reflect on it, just leave it to Alpha. Then they will know what cruelty is."

Many directors nodded.

"Yes, no matter what I do to them, they think it's unreasonable, so let's do it according to the law."

At this time, Vivian looked at Jin Mian. He was actually the guy who most wanted to take action against the businessmen in Cone. However, he usually portrayed a gentle and friendly image and would not use high-pressure policies to control finance. But in fact, what Jinn Mangan has always wanted to promote is electronic money, which can eliminate most of the problems. However, if you want to successfully build an electronic money system, all the money in the city must be collected by Section 7.

This is necessary. If you want to implement more advanced and easy-to-manage electronic money, you must reduce the bank's foreign debt, at least not too much money left outside.

At this time, many businessmen saw the strange behavior of Section 7, and the original noise gradually disappeared. Many businessmen looked at the people in Section 7 in surprise, and they were minding their own business playing cards on the table in the conference room. , drink tea and eat snacks.

"What on earth do they want to do!"

There is still only one update tonight, sorry if something goes wrong!
