Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

boom

A burst of violent gunshots pierced the night. Gene woke up from the bed. Ellie beside him also woke up. Gene quickly got out of bed and directly took out an automatic rifle. Witte, who was responsible for the night watch, quickly woke everyone up. .

Many houses around had their lights on, but Jean and the others did not turn on the lights. Instead, they stood guard by the windows with weapons.

The eight people who came all the way did this. Especially in this dark night, you can't turn on the lights rashly. If you are an enemy, this is tantamount to making yourself a living target.

Some people appeared on the street outside. Li Chu was observing the situation outside using the omnidirectional probe mounted on the roof. He was certain that the gunfire was not far from them, at most ten meters away from them.

There was a sound of motorcycles, and soon several people with weapons came over. They were Jed's men.

Listening to the sounds outside, there was no danger for the time being. Jean and the others walked out of the room. Many people said they heard gunshots and ran out.

Several of Jed's men looked around, but soon they found a body, and soon someone started crying.

A man was shot through the head, right behind a small villa. This was the husband of this family. His wife and two daughters were crying sadly. The man's parents were talking about the situation.

"Judging from the ballistics, the guy who shot him should have taken out the gun from in front of him and shot him. The guy shouldn't have run very far."

Deguna squatted in front of the body. After analyzing it, several Jade's men were a little surprised, but Deguna's analysis was correct. Soon Deguna found a pistol on a small road not far away. , Deguna glanced at it after picking it up.

"We will do fingerprint identification and the murderer will be found soon. Please bring more people here."

Soon Jed also woke up, and Jean and the others asked the people who lived nearby. The family usually had no conflicts with others, and Jean quietly looked at the uneasy faces around them.

"Gentlemen, can you do fingerprint identification?"

Tang Rao nodded.

"It's a small thing."

Soon Tang Rao used some things to make fingerprints on the gun. Now he only needs to ask people nearby to check the fingerprints one by one to find the murderer.

A short man was soon restrained. After a simple fingerprint comparison, the man was the one who held the gun. His name was Li Nan and he lived next to the deceased's house.

"Mr. Li Nan, why do you want to kill Chen Peng?"

Jed asked angrily. He had reiterated again and again that no matter if there was any conflict or friction, you could come to him and he would be responsible for mediating. Every mediation by Jed was successful and convincing. Yes, the mediation was done impartially.

Li Nan lowered his head, and the family members of the deceased were yelling and cursing. Li Nan looked very aggrieved, and many people at the scene were angry.

"Everyone be quiet for a moment."

Jed shouted, and then he decided to take Li Nan away and imprison him, and then slowly asked about the situation.

Gene smiled and nodded. Looking at the way Jade handled it, it was really good, but the tranquility in this neighborhood was very likely to be broken because of a murder.

This case does not seem to be that simple, because it can be seen from the expressions of some people watching that some people look very happy, while some people are extremely angry.

Tang Rao leaned over and whispered.

"It seems like they already have a very strong clique in private."

Gene nodded. Such small groups are a unique product of human society, but they are also the biggest reason for the collapse of society.

"Can you guys please come over and help me?"

Jade still asked politely, Gene nodded, and soon they left with Li Nan amidst the angry shouts of many people.

"Mr. Jed, you are worried that a more serious problem will break out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

As soon as they arrived at the cafe, Gene asked, Jade was a little surprised.

"Mr. Jean, you can tell."

"Any fool can see that the deceased and this guy represent different groups."

Rose muttered, Jade nodded and started talking.

That neighborhood was not like this at the beginning, but in order to effectively increase production capacity, Jed could only divide people into different groups and let them be responsible for corresponding tasks. But it is obvious that this approach is actually open to question.

One of them is responsible for working, and the other is responsible for harvesting. The people on both sides have already begun to be disharmonious. The people responsible for harvesting feel that the people they are responsible for processing and working should not enjoy the same food as them, because the food is theirs. Sown with hard work.

The man who died today was responsible for planting and harvesting, and the man who killed him was responsible for processing and transportation in the factory.

"So how is the food distributed?"

"I always leave it to the people responsible for processing."

Jed obviously knew where the problem came from, because he wandered around the neighborhood solving various problems every day, and he also needed to coordinate some things with other gangs. He was exhausted every day with these things, so again If he were left in charge of distribution, Jed would really collapse completely.

"Tell me why you want to kill Chen Peng?"

"He went too far."

Li Nan whimpered.

"What's the extreme measure? Do you need to use a pistol to open a hole in a person's head?"

Rose muttered, Li Nan's expression became extremely angry, and then said.

"Mr. Jed has been doing this for more than a month. We can't get the food from the planting team. Many of them hide the food secretly, and each time we have to pay some price to get the food smoothly. ."

Jade looked at Li Nan with a solemn expression, and then asked.

"What price?"

Seeing Li Nan lowering his head in difficulty, Deguna seemed to realize something and spoke directly.

"A woman, right?"

Li Nan nodded.

Jade slapped his thigh angrily. The food supplied to them was sufficient every month, but he didn't expect those who managed the planting to do this.

"I originally wanted to talk to Chen Peng tonight, but he said that this time he wants us to get ten people to provide for them. Otherwise, the food harvested this time will not be given to us. So I got excited and took action. ."

"What is the ratio of men to women in the planting group and the labor group?"

Gene asked and Jade said.

"The planting team requires a lot of labor, so there are many men and almost no women."

Gene's face was solemn. This was indeed a very serious problem, and it was so serious that they could only solve it privately in this way.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Jade asked angrily, and Li Nan shook his head.

"It's no use telling you, they were very close to the gang next door to us, and some food was given to them."

Jade realized that most of the people in the work group just wanted to live a stable life, so they swallowed their anger for a month. After all, in this world, many of them were raising families, and food was their only survival. The hope of coming down.

This kind of conflict seems irreconcilable to Jed. If he had known about these things when the conflict started, it probably wouldn't have turned out like this.

"Your dominance is insufficient, so they do this in private."

Deguna said something, and of course Jade knew it, but if he came to be tough, there would definitely be riots in the area.

Many people in the room looked extremely angry. No man could bear this kind of humiliation, and the people on the planting team were actually involved with other gangs. This made many Jed's men suggest that they directly Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

"You can't do this. If you do this, other gangs will definitely intervene. They will definitely side with the planting team, and it will suddenly turn into a war. It was finally established with great difficulty."

"If you don't solve it now, you will be helpless when problems arise."

Deguna reminded that in such a small society, the period of outbreak of problems is often very short. Now the problem has already erupted in just one month. If you continue to endure it without taking action, you will be in trouble.

At this time, a large number of men gathered outside the cafe. They angrily demanded that Li Nan be executed directly. Jade looked solemn, and the men under his hands rushed out with weapons and fired into the sky. Only then did the boiling crowd It calmed down.

The people who came were all from the planting group, but no one from the working group came.

"Please listen to me first."

Jed shouted, and after a while he spoke directly to the leaders of several planting groups.

"What exactly did you force the women in the labor team to do with food?"

Several people looked solemn for a while, and one of them said with a smile.

"Mr. Jed, they are willing. We have not forced them. We will provide food normally every week."

Gene watched from behind. It was obvious that the men had come prepared. What they wanted was to let the people in the work team take a good look at who was the boss now.

"Mr. Jed, we work in the fields every day for everyone, shouldn't we get a little benefit?"

"Everyone is the same."

Immediately the man opposite started laughing.

"Many of us put in a huge amount of labor every day, but what about them? They wait comfortably for the harvest, do some simple processing, and then live comfortably every day."

"I can adjust the food for you."

As soon as Jade finished speaking, a bunch of people started shouting, saying that Jade was being unfair to the people in the work group.

At this time, the sound of a car was heard not far away, and soon a group of people with weapons came over. They were a gang next door.

"Mr. Jed, we heard that a murder occurred here, so we came here to see if we need support."

Jade said with a smile.

"That's not necessary."

Soon the two sides put the issue directly on the table, and the gang leader who came over laughed.

"It's the end of the world, Mr. Jed. The concept of family should have been eradicated long ago. They work hard in the fields every day and need to endure hunger and injuries. It doesn't matter if they enjoy it, as long as they are well protected. , and if women want to live a leisurely life, they naturally have to pay something, right Jade."

Jade ignored the words, and then he spoke.

"Tomorrow morning, we will continue to hear the case here. It is too late today, so everyone should go back first."

Jed promised that things would be fair tomorrow, and everyone went back, but Jed knew very well that the so-called justice meant the justice of the labor team.

"What can I do."

Jade pressed his head and Li Nan cried.

"Mr. Angus, if they really want me to die tomorrow, just kill me, as long as you can guarantee that this will not happen in the future."

Jade was a little panicked. At this time, Deguna put the gun Li Nan used to kill Chen Peng on the table.

"Some things are unavoidable. If you are willing to listen to us, I guarantee that we can destroy that group of people and make those men stop."

Jade looked at Deguna blankly, and then Deguna pointed at Jean and said.

"He and I have both experienced in hellish battlefields. If you are confident, just use strong methods. This is no longer the civilized society of the past."

Deguna's words made many Jade's men agree, but Jade was a little hesitant. He didn't know what he could do all night. It was obvious that the people in the planting team wanted to ride on his head.

This kind of thing has only lasted for just over a month, and I'm afraid things will continue to get worse. Jade also knows what will happen next if he gives in, and the people under his command will also lose confidence in him.

"What should I do to be a good person, Mr. Jean?"

Gene smiled, and Deguna immediately signaled to Li Chu. Soon Li Chu got a map of the neighborhood. He used AI to draw the map today.

Everyone gathered around.

"Tomorrow's trial is an opportunity. Let's take action directly on the trial. Many times, humans are like this. If you just need to give them some encouragement, they won't act randomly."

"What about the group next door?"

Jade asked and Deguna smiled.

"They are just ordinary people with guns. We need to plan carefully. I promise that there will not be any casualties among your people."

Jed is still a little worried, because if he causes problems, other gangs may take advantage.

"Under the current situation, everyone wants to protect themselves. As long as they pay a small price, such as food, the riot can be calmed down. And we just want to find a stable place to conduct research on seeds and planting."

Deguna's words made Jade nod, and then Deguna planned to use some simple tactics to arrange everything for tomorrow. The simplest method is often the most effective.

Time passed by minute by minute, until dawn, Jade smiled, because the method Deguna said should be effective, and Jade was very satisfied with this.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Jean, Miss Deguna."
