Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Siren sounds loudly

Sun Gang lay on the ground with his head in his hands. A large number of Section 5 personnel rushed into the store and the scene was immediately cordoned off. It was just after 10 p.m.

Ran Zai stood quietly in the alley, pulled up the hood with both hands, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. At this time, Ran Zai's heart felt warm. After a simple test, the criminal showed his flaws, or in other words, he didn't show his flaws at all. He cannot be called a criminal, just a poor man who died because of his feelings.

Originally, he and Sun Gang had agreed on a place for the transaction, but after Ran Zai changed hands, he used 100 yuan to ask a child to send over some things he had sorted, and signed them as Special War Zero.

Ran Zai's mood at this time was desolate. The sad thing was that he should not have done this kind of thing. This should be the work of Section 5, but they could not find any breakthrough and could only watch the criminal. Under the nose.

Ran Zai knew from the beginning that it was impossible for Sun Gang to completely throw away the items related to the missing woman. He just wanted to see what kind of mood this man had in committing the crime. The result was just because of this If you reveal something, you are committing a crime.

Sure enough, people from Section 5 soon found some banknotes in Sun Gang's rest room in the store. These banknotes were taken out by Sun Gang from a hiding place and were intended to be a down payment for Ran Zai.

Now it's very simple. Just check the fingerprints on the banknotes and check the normal revenue of the store to know the extra money. Sun Gang must answer where the money came from and how much money it made. There is the fingerprint of the missing woman on it. Sun Gang is responsible for the cashier in the store, and with so many banknotes, it is certain that almost every one of them has the fingerprint of the missing woman.

If Sun Gang can't explain clearly, he can only be detained indefinitely, which is no different from being imprisoned. He can either choose to confess everything, or wait for the judicial department to find more concrete evidence for his conviction. All of this cannot be explained clearly, Sun Gang Naturally, he would choose to confess.

Ran Zai asked on the street. Sun Gang used to work at the local power supply office. No wonder he knew about the restart of monitoring, and his style of doing things was cautious, so he thought he could throw away everything related to his lover. Things, but the only thing he didn't throw away was the money.

Seeing Sun Gang being taken out directly, hooded and handcuffed, Ran Zai turned around and walked into the dark alley.

Ran Zai smiled slightly. He planned to go to the second secret place. The other party was a woman named Lian. She was just 20 this year. She wanted to rob. This was what Ran Zai inferred immediately after hearing what the beggar described. from.

At around 11 o'clock, Ran Zai came to the outskirts of District 41, near a demolition and construction site. Ran Zai looked around on the street, and soon saw a man sitting at a food stall on the street. She has long black hair tied up and looks very melancholy. She looks very ordinary and has many spots on her cheeks.

Because of his obvious appearance and the fact that he was carrying a sunflower bag, Ran Zai recognized him at a glance. He patted his belly that could still hold things, walked slowly over and sat down. After a closer look, Lian Zai He's pretty good-looking, but he's dirty. After all, most of the people here are workers.

Seeing Lian holding a glass of small wine, looking very uncomfortable, Lian didn't speak to Ran Zai who was sitting down, but just drank quietly, as if Ran Zai didn't exist.

Ran Zai ordered some side dishes and looked at the shabby fried vegetable crisps in front of Lian. After a stack of peanuts was brought over, Ran Zai pushed the small plate over and made a gesture of inviting Lian. Lian glanced at Ran Zai glanced at it and unceremoniously grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Thanks kid!"

Ran Zai just smiled, and then all the side dishes came. Ran Zai waved his hand again to Lian to eat together. At this time Lian stopped, she put her hands on her chin and smiled.

"Boy, you should go find the woman standing in the alley on the street. I am my sister."

"Do you want to rob that store?"

As soon as Ran Zai finished speaking, Lian's expression changed. She looked at Ran Zai suspiciously and slightly horrified. Ran Zai stood up and paid the money and said.

"These are for you, along with a bottle of wine."

As he spoke, Ran Zai took a bottle of the most expensive wine from the stall owner and handed it to Lian. She seemed a little overwhelmed at this time and her expression became panicked. Ran Zai looked across the street, where a newly opened supermarket, this supermarket has monopolized all sales in this area, and this monopoly will last for a long time.

Because the area to be rebuilt is relatively large, the wages of workers here will not exceed 50 yuan a day at most, and they need to work overtime to get 50 yuan.

Ran Zai did not leave, but continued to sit down. It could be seen that the lotus in front of him was already tasteless, so Ran Zai continued.

"I advise you not to get involved. Either report the crime in advance, or leave here and don't get involved. Otherwise, you will get involved."

At this time, with the sound of a bell, another group of workers came off work. After a while, Ran Zai determined that Lian was probably involved in the robbery plan.

According to the beggar's description, Lian would always go to the supermarket to buy things after counting the sales on the day the supermarket was closed, but she would often stop and just buy a can of liquid food. This was not just once or twice. A beggar asked Lian for money before, but Lian did not give him money. Instead, she gave the liquid food she bought to the beggar.

Later, this beggar would beg from Lian from time to time, and Lian also gave him liquid food several times, all of which were the worst kind. Generally, supermarkets would settle the daily revenue and deposit it directly to the local wallet management department on the same day. .

The money will be escorted by some mutant bodyguards, but all humans have weaknesses. In Ran Zai's view, these mutant bodyguards are too weak, just stronger than ordinary people, and this one covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters and has three floors. Supermarkets have a daily revenue of at least 600,000 yuan.

Ran Zai, a resident worker at this construction site, took a casual look around and found that the price was around 20,000. With these vendors and some nearby residents, the turnover of this supermarket was very considerable every day. It only took one robbery to make it. They cut across the working class.

Ran Zai looked at Lian with an embarrassed look on his face and never said anything. There was only one reason why Ran Zai felt that Lian wanted to rob the supermarket, because Lian had asked the beggars who often begged in front of the supermarket many things, including the security guard's shift time. , and some things in the supermarket. The beggar begged near the supermarket every day. At night, he would go to the upper floor to beg during the meal time of Section 5.

There is only one purpose for asking these things, he wants money. Ran Zai checked the information of the bodyguard company in charge of this supermarket. It is a third-rate bodyguard company, the rates are not high, there are only two A-level mutants, and the others Basically they are C and B grade.

In addition, with the current demolition and construction here, many places no longer have surveillance. If you want to commit robbery, it will be much more convenient. The population here is very mobile, and it is very difficult to investigate. The most important thing is that this kind of thing There were many robberies during the demolition and construction last year.

At a time when currency is not fully virtualized and cities are still being built, robbery has become a popular method for criminals to make money, and there may even be robberies deliberately created to avoid taxes.

Businessmen are always changing the law to compete with the city's system and make profits from it. Ran Zai does not reject this, but he does not agree with it. It is in this chaotic time that many people with better heads are trying to make money. I know that if we don’t take advantage of the current chaos to find a way forward, the future will become very difficult.

At this time, Ran Zai noticed that among the workers who came over, a mutant artificial worker looked towards Lian, and Lian's eyes also seemed a little erratic.

"According to my guess, at least four people need to cooperate to complete this robbery, right?"

As Ran Zai spoke again, Lian pinched Ran Zai's mouth with one hand.

"Boy, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Ran Zai pushed Lian's hand away, glanced back at the special offer the day after tomorrow on the supermarket's giant light and shadow screen, and then spoke.

"Is it April 7th?"

Lian said nothing, and Ran Zai continued.

"The business department is about to start its exams. It's the time when department 5 is seriously short of manpower. If we take action at this time, the probability of you escaping is very high as long as you succeed. And the day after tomorrow's big special sale event, the turnover is very likely to exceed 1 million. "

Lian stood up, picked up the wine, and then took a plastic bag and put all the things Ran Zai ordered into it, as if she was planning to leave.

"I don't know what you are talking about. Thank you for your gift, kid. Sometimes you have no choice in life. This is a little bit of experience that my sister gave you after you gave her what I ate."

Ran Zai laughed loudly.

"What you can't choose is not life, but the past!"

Lian's expression became embarrassed again. She quickly picked up her things and left. Ran Zai stood up and laughed. Sure enough, Lian soon came into contact with the mutant on the street. See it in Ran Zai's eyes.

"Lian, who is that boy?"

"Just a bastard trying to trick me into following him with a snack."

Lian said lightly, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff. The tiny flames between her fingers were fleeting. She was also a mutant, but Lian had never registered.

"It starts the day after tomorrow."

Lian said with a hum.

"Get the other two ready."

Lian looked for something in the crowd with a serious expression. She didn't know who the boy who suddenly appeared was and why he knew about her. At this time, Lian felt a little numb. This was the tenth time they had planned a robbery. The previous nine No issues at all.

Lian grew up in an orphanage. She was supposed to have a happy childhood. Her father was an engineer and her mother was a businessman. Her family was wealthy. However, her father was suddenly kidnapped and there was no news after that. Her mother spent all day trying to find her father. After working hard, he finally got blight syndrome. The originally happy family was torn apart because of this sudden change.

After the fall of the Hillman family, Lian learned that the person who kidnapped her father in the past was a member of the Hillman family, and her father was also dead. Lian did not go to the family hearing in the administrative department because she did not bother to go. No matter what happens, my father will never come back, and the subsequent compensation has not been received yet.

Lian naturally knew what was going on. The money had already entered the pockets of some people, and Lian had been making a living on her own since she was a teenager. After dropping out of school, she could only make ends meet in an orphanage.

It was at this time that Lian met Robert, a mutant who was 3 years older than her. Robert taught Lian a lot, and Lian learned a lot. Only then did Lian realize that Robert had not registered as a mutant. The reason for registering is to give yourself a chance to get high rewards as an ordinary person.

Lian is disappointed with the entire city. Ever since they started planning the first robbery, Lian has felt hope. Now the four of them have made a lot of money through the previous nine robberies. This is their last time. After a long period of research and observation, they decided to come here to take action.

This supermarket has been open for more than a year. It was built before the demolition. The scale was not that big before, but it began to expand after the demolition and construction began. Lian and the four of them had already joined a day-employment building a year in advance. Company, all this is to deceive others.

It's just that Lian doesn't know how their secret plan was exposed. Who is that young boy in his teens? Lian must know now. The plan is imminent. If that boy goes to report the crime, there will be trouble.

Lian didn't tell Robert, just because she didn't want to distract everyone. The past nine successful robberies had also encountered many dangers, but these dangers were all passed smoothly after sufficient planning and preparation.

"The last time."

Lian muttered, and finally saw the boy. He was chatting and laughing with a woman at the entrance of the alley. Lian threw away the cigarette and walked over quickly.

"Why are you so anxious? Boy, you are still underage!"

Ran Zai smiled and said.

"Can't you try it? Sister, you are going to take me to experience it."

After Ran Zai finished speaking, he dismissed the woman, and Lian dragged Ran Zai to the alley. At this time, Lian changed his usual cowardly aura, and his eyes became fierce.

"Where on earth did you know that?"

Lian said, looking around from time to time, Ran Zai said with a smile.

"I'm just a student."

Ran Zai took out his student ID card as he spoke. Lian looked a little strange at the name. Ran Zai then talked about something the beggar told him, and Lian was shocked.

"What? Do you want to kill me? Silencing is your best choice now, otherwise your plan the day after tomorrow may fail, right?"

Lian looked at Ran Zai angrily and grabbed his collar.

"You can't do it, can't you! After all, you have never killed anyone."

Lian was speechless.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"I just want to ask my sister, why did you commit the crime?"

Lian looked at Ran Zai blankly, but the next second Ran Zai landed on the ground and blocked Lian's hand.

"Your plan will fail because you have overlooked something. It seems that this is not the first time you have done this. Have you really observed this supermarket? If you fail, you will die. As for why you The reason for committing a crime is quite boring.”

Ran Zai said, turned around and walked away, waving his hands.

"Goodbye sister, I'm just a little bored. Isn't there a more pure crime?"

Lian felt a chill, and the young man in front of her made her feel terrible from the bottom of her heart. His smile looked a little ferocious, but also a little gentle.

"I just hope to find something more interesting and pure. Think about this problem carefully, sister, what have you overlooked? I won't do anything, let alone report the crime. Have you ever heard of a wise man?"

Lian looked at Ran Zai in shock, looking at Ran Zai's extremely evil profile when he turned around.

"I am that bastard's grandson!"
