Zhong Xiong's right arm injury has not healed yet, and he will have to rest for at least two months.
But he couldn't wait that long.
The entire Central City is in a state of imminent storm. During this time, more and more individuals and organizations have entered the city, and you can often see news about casualties caused by conflicts between the two organizations.
As one of the two local snakes, the temple was naturally not idle during this period.
"They have blatantly killed some outsiders who accidentally offended them in the past few days, demonstrating the power of their organization. If my guess is correct, they do not know Miss Xia's identity." The store owner said.
"You're not a famous person, your identity is of no use." Xia Chuluo responded calmly.
"Miss Xia, I can provide you with information about all the temples." Zhong Xiong was quite eager.
"No, let's recover first. Since he said three days, then wait for him for three days. There is no need to be in such a hurry."
Naturally, there are still things to do in these three days.
There are still some people on Xia Chuluo's list that he has not dealt with. They are all experienced killers and they will not be easy.
Zhong Xiong naturally wanted to destroy the temple organization immediately.
But he was alone and couldn't do this.
The little girl in this team looks quite calm and seems to have everything under control.
Zhong Xiong had no choice but to wait for now.
…
Here in Mowu City.
Wei Boyan's big plan is still being implemented.
He felt that he had died once anyway, and now he was living for Feng Fugui without any scruples. He could do whatever he had to do, and he was not tied up like before.
Lu Wenze has been getting the latest news from him in the no-man's land.
"Why do you think you are so interested in the androids in the no-man's land? You don't have a clone there, right?" Wei Boyan asked.
"How is it possible? I'm overthinking it. If there really is a clone, with our relationship, wouldn't I tell you?" Lu Wen looked serious and responded seriously.
"Also... with your reputation in Mowu City, there is no need to go to the no-man's land to get a clone. That is just looking for trouble."
Wei Boyan said something that didn't feel right recently.
Several legions in Mowu City have been stationed in the mountains and forests outside the city. There have been some unclear movements in the past few days.
It seems to be quietly moving towards no man's land.
"But traces of their presence are still left in those mountains and forests. Those tents and nothing else have not been removed. The voices of shouting can be heard in the camp every day. It gives people the feeling that they are still there."
"Don't you know the exact news?"
"I don't know, after that old guy Gong Liangyu came, the whole Mowu City was surrounding him."
Wei Boyan sighed, probably because he felt that Mowu Shi's bones were too soft.
"Now Mowu City is considered a super big city. There is no need to pay attention to the Floating City. I don't understand those councilors who have to cater to the preferences of the Floating City. Don't be like that when you become a councilor in the future."
Wei Boyan said that he particularly admires those two cities in the north.
Although those two cities were not as economically developed as Mowu City, they were quite stubborn and never paid attention to the floating city's instructions from beginning to end.
The so-called Supreme Council is like air in their eyes.
"Although the two cities in the north are not at a good economic level, their combat effectiveness is quite strong. Don't underestimate those two cities." Lu Wen said: "If Mowu City is serious about combat effectiveness, it can actually develop it."
The two of them were sitting at the gate of the Executive Bureau.
It was already after nine o'clock in the evening, most of the executives had gone home from get off work, and the place seemed a bit deserted.
"No, Mowu City's fighting capacity cannot be increased. This city is just bright and beautiful on the outside. Who would have thought that the mayor who takes the lead is rotten." Wei Boyan sighed.
"The evidence Zero gave you is not enough to pull him down."
Lu Wen had read those documents.
Among the evidence provided by Zero, the only one that can really prove the current mayor is a video.
In the video, the guy secretly murdered his secretary when he was still running for mayor.
The reason is unknown.
There is no actual evidence for the other charges listed by Zero.
"Just relying on that video, the most he can do is go to jail for a while, and he has a high voice among the people. It can be argued that he was forced to do something because of something... Even if he has enough money, he Totally bailable.”
This is not the result Wei Boyan wants to see.
Looking at the reform of ancient dynasties, most of the successful ones started from the bottom, moistening things silently. Once the upper levels are directly affected, it will cause a series of backlash because the steps are too big.
Most of the people in ancient times were ignorant, so they didn't know whether the reformists were good or bad to them.
But today's people are different.
With the development of the Internet, a piece of news can be known to the whole world within a day.
"To take him down, all ordinary people must know what this kind-hearted person is like behind the scenes. Only under the general trend of public opinion can you succeed," Lu Wen said.
"It's not my success, it's yours." Wei Boyan looked at him.
"how?"
"Those false reputations are of no use to me, but you can use them. Although I don't know what you are planning all day long, I can feel that you are quite eager for reputation during this time."
"Is there any?" Lu Wen changed his expression in surprise.
Wei Boyan smiled.
Some things just need to be clicked and stopped. He doesn't understand what Lu Wen wants those reputations for, but he will try his best to help Lu Wen.
He knows that androids have the function of deduction.
Perhaps in some future deduced by Lu Wen, he will need to use a lot of reputation.
"As for the illegal drugs, the relevant personnel have been monitored by the people I arranged, but we can't alert the snake yet. They are only at the bottom of the industrial chain, and we need to find the upper level through them..."
"Brother Wei!"
A voice suddenly interrupted Wei Boyan's words.
Wei Boyan looked up and frowned slightly.
"Mayor Zhen, why do you have time to come to the Executive Bureau so late?"
"Haha, I ate a little too much in the evening, so I went out for a walk. I just happened to run into you, brother."
The person who came was none other than the current mayor, Zhen Yingjie, 57 years old.
He was dressed in ordinary clothes, not tall, with gray hair on his temples. He looked like an ordinary little old man, amiable and approachable.
It was this simple appearance that won him unanimous recognition from the people.
"I heard that brother, you have been busy with some cases related to illegal drugs recently?" Zhen Yingjie asked with a smile on his face and a calm tone.
"Yes." Wei Boyan did not deny it.
"I also heard that... those illegal drugs may be related to a certain pharmaceutical company?"
"Mayor Zhen, if you have anything to say, just say it. There is no one else here."
"Haha, it's nothing. I just think that Brother Wei, when you are investigating these cases, you should also pay attention to your own safety and don't accidentally get tricked. There are a lot of missing cases in Mowu City every year. An excellent executive director like you is , once it disappears, it will be a loss to our city. "
Zhen Yingjie smiled and patted Wei Boyan's shoulder, which was quite hard.
"I don't want to wake up one morning and hear the news that you suddenly disappeared."
After that, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
There are also some pedestrians on the street at night.
They recognized the mayor and greeted him.
After Zhen Yingjie walked away, the two began to communicate again.
"This old guy lives in the first district. Can he come to my tenth district for a walk?"
"It seems that I am specifically here to remind you that he is the largest shareholder of that company. If the investigation continues, his interests will be involved." Lu Wen said.
What Zhen Yingjie said just now was quite obvious, and he was threatening Wei Boyan.
But even if Lu Wen sent out the video recording just now, no one would believe it.
Those ordinary people would only think that the mayor was worried about Wei Boan's safety.
"How can an upright pharmaceutical company worry about investigation?" Wei Boyan shook his head. "He is worried that I will find evidence and find out that he allowed his company to produce illegal drugs."
"It's strange that he already knew about it just two days after you started investigating."
The criminal arrested in District 16 today was actually related to this matter. It was considered a breakthrough, but it was just a breakthrough at the bottom.
The two of them started investigating the criminal not long ago.
Among the information given by No. 0, the thing Wei Boyan couldn't stand the most was these illegal drugs.
He couldn't believe that the mayor of a city would actually take the lead in doing this.
"Someone among the people you arranged tipped off the old guy." Lu Wen said.
"Well, I always arrange for those executives who perform very well and have no stains on weekdays to monitor people related to illegal drugs."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be monitored all the time, as that can easily lead to problems."
"What do you want to do?" Wei Boyan looked at Lu Wen.
"The criminal who confessed today is all from the lowest level. No matter how long you monitor him, the effect will not be too obvious. It will be difficult to find people at the top."
Without finding someone higher up, there was no way to find out the relationship between these illegal drugs on the market and Zhen Yingjie.
"Do you want to take action directly?" Wei Boyan asked.
"No, do it indirectly."
"You don't want to learn the old tricks in those movies, send someone to buy medicine, and then break into the enemy's interior, right?"
"That's pretty much what I thought." Lu Wen nodded.
"It's impossible. People who can do this are all talented people. They are not easily deceived. Moreover, we can't find a suitable candidate. Now the people around me are not trustworthy."
"I do have someone I can trust."
…
On the other side of the city.
Yin Liuyue's trio left District 16 and came to District 15.
After all, Ark wanted to visit the city at night.
"Mowu City is really lively at night." Fang Zhou couldn't help but sigh as he walked on the beach and looked at the busy food stalls, feeling the peace and excitement.
Anyone who has lived in Baker City will express the same emotion as him after coming to Mowu City.
"Actually, only the 15th District is more lively at night, while other districts are mostly deserted at night."
When Lu Wen followed Xia Chuluo to the city, he thought it would be more lively at night.
However, District 13 becomes deserted at night.
The thick fog spreads on the streets, giving people the feeling... like walking in a silent dream. People who are homeless because of unemployment can also be seen on both sides of the streets.
"Many people who work in urban areas live in the suburbs or even further towns. They will drive back after get off work, so those large areas with advanced technology are very cold at night," Lu Wen said.
The tourism industry in District 15 is developed.
So it’s quite lively no matter day or night.
"Don't you all live in the city? It seems that the housing prices in Mowu City are also very high." Fang Zhou said.
"Indeed, many physical stores are now barely making ends meet." Lu Wen nodded.
"I have a say in this. When I ran away from home, I worked as a temporary worker in a snack bar in the 14th District for a while." Yin Liuliu recalled: "At that time, the boss often said that his business was getting better and better. As the business becomes more popular, the rent of the store will rise higher and higher. You can’t make much money even if you work hard for a month, and all the money will go into the landlord’s pocket.”
The three of them walked and talked.
The sea breeze is quite comfortable.
Lu Wen prefers the feeling of using this identity.
No one in Mowu City recognized his identity. Dr. Jiang had plastic surgery on his face, and now he is just an ordinary person who looks young and handsome.
This body will not be photographed secretly while walking.
"By the way, June, I may need you to do something." Lu Wen turned to Yin June and said.
"Tell me, I've been busy lately. It's best if it's a little challenging. Don't ask me for those that are too easy." Yin Liuyue agreed readily.
"I want you to go undercover for a day or two."
"So exciting? It's my duty, girl! Tell me your address."
