Today is destined to be a prosperous time for the news media.
Anti-fans, real fans, and just passers-by from all walks of life are also ready to fight.
After all, the protagonists are Lu Wen and Zhen Yingjie. One is the most popular android and the other is an old mayor who has long had a reputation.
Within the executive bureau.
Everyone watched the projection quietly.
It's also a surveillance video, and there are two people on the video.
"This is the mayor, and his former secretary. He was preparing to run for mayor. At that time, his opponent was very powerful, and he was very powerful. Unfortunately, he died in a car accident."
There were media people of the older generation present, and they knew the situation very well.
The secretary on the screen was cleaning up the office and organizing the information on the desk.
But inadvertently, he seemed to have discovered something, and his face became ugly.
This monitor has sound.
Although the sound is relatively low, everyone can barely hear it clearly.
The secretary held a piece of information in his hand and asked: "This is... why do you record Liang Jun's daily travel and home routes?"
Liang Jun was another mayoral candidate at the time.
This candidate is indeed powerful. From the beginning to the end, his support rate has been overwhelming Zhen Yingjie, and his many reform ideas have been well received by the people.
"I think you should know better." Zhen Yingjie in the picture said calmly.
"It's just the position of mayor. Those people outside are watching you, there is no need to do such a thing!" The secretary obviously guessed what Zhen Yingjie wanted to do, so he tried to dissuade him.
But Zhen Yingjie has already made his decision.
The secretary's dissuasion was not only useless, but also brought him death.
"If you don't stop, I will make your behavior public and let everyone see your true face." He said seriously with a serious expression.
"Sigh... Okay, then let's compete with Liang Jun openly."
Zhen Yingjie in the picture took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and slowly put them on.
The secretary didn't think much about it.
He just nodded, thinking that his dissuasion was effective, so he continued to pack the documents on his desk.
Then everyone saw it.
Zhen Yingjie took out a gun and stuffed the cold muzzle into the secretary's mouth.
The whole process was quite fast. There was only one gunshot and blood splattered on the floor.
Then he arranged the scene, and finally pretended to be panicked and went to report the crime. There were no flaws in the whole process. What he claimed to the outside world was that there was no surveillance in the office.
In fact, with his caution, there will definitely be surveillance in the office, but the surveillance is very covert.
And after the incident, he immediately dismantled the surveillance, otherwise the people who came to investigate from the Executive Bureau would find out.
"I think everyone can see clearly."
Lu Wen smiled faintly and took back the monitoring.
The scene fell silent again.
Before coming, no one had guessed who the protagonist today was.
Later, Zhen Yingjie told them through a video that today's protagonist is Lu Wen.
But now the situation is reversed again.
Everyone cast their gaze on Zhen Yingjie.
Zhen Yingjie tried his best to keep his face calm, but his heart was already filled with huge waves. He had already deleted this video. Why was it in Lu Wen's hands
"This video is fake. I have never done anything like this!" He denied it.
"Really?" Lu Wen smiled, "Videos can't lie. How can they be faked?"
"Use two bionic people to make the faces of me and my secretary respectively, and then fake the environment in which I worked. That's it." Zhen Yingjie argued: "Lu Wen, you must know that sooner or later you will be exposed. So prepare this kind of video in advance for confronting me now!”
"Then, why can your video be real, but my video can only be fake?"
"this… "
The old man was speechless for a moment.
Lu Wen looked at him lightly, feeling a little regretful.
If Xia Chuluo were here today, there would probably be no need to release the video, he would be able to silence the little old man in just two or three sentences.
It must have been quite a comfortable scene.
It's a pity that Xia Chuluo is not here.
"Well, Mr. Mayor, since you think I am guilty, and I also think you are guilty, why don't we hold a press conference in the afternoon, and then each of us will give out all the information we have?" Lu Wen suggested seriously. .
"Okay, let's see you in the afternoon!" Zhen Yingjie tried his best to keep his expression unchanged.
He was thinking about the origin of that video, and it was indeed the original video.
In the afternoon, he could still say that the video was fake and forged.
He is only worried about one thing now... Will Lu Wen have more evidence in his hands
Logically speaking, Wei Bo'an is already dead, so this robot shouldn't be able to make any waves.
"I will naturally give more evidence in the afternoon!"
Zhen Yingjie said lightly, turned around and left.
The media at the scene finally became excited at this moment.
Some people surrounded Zhen Yingjie who was gradually leaving, while others surrounded Lu Wen.
"Mr. Mayor, is the video given by Lu Wen true?"
"Mr. Zhen, can you reveal the specific details of your secretary's death?"
“…”
Countless lights flashed all the time.
Lu Wen was also overwhelmed by the influx of media.
There are only a few questions asked.
For example, did he really kill Wei Boyan? If not, where would Wei Boyan be now.
Another example is where the video in his hand came from.
And so on, Lu Wen was more patient and gave a general answer.
"Don't worry, everyone. I didn't kill Wei Bo'an. Although I don't know where he is now, I believe he should be safe. As for the video, it is of course true. I will give it to the press conference this afternoon. Just produce more evidence and everyone will come to see it.”
It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the morning that Lu Wen had dismissed all the media.
There will be a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon at the entrance of the Parliament Building in the Ninth District.
A very formal one.
After the media released the morning video, the whole city was boiling.
Such big news has not broken out in Mowu City for many years.
The mayor and the third-level executive officer, humans and androids, face an unprecedented confrontation.
[Are bionic people really trustworthy?]
The mayor's supporters once again put this title on the top trending searches.
They want to take advantage of human beings' opposition to bionic people and suppress those who support Lu Wen. It has to be said that this title does have a certain effect.
[Everyone is welcome to join our anti-android march]
A new round of demonstrations against androids took place on the streets.
The intensity of the demonstrations this time was far greater than before. Except for the 16th and 15th districts, all other districts were very powerful and had large numbers of people.
Whether they knew about this or not, they all joined the parade because of their long-term dislike of androids.
The whole city became a mess.
Countless streets were jammed.
The sound of trumpets and shouting could be heard endlessly.
Some people even took advantage of the chaos of the parade to smash some merchandise on the street, steal valuables inside, and set a fire before leaving.
"Boom!"
Violent explosions sounded in the city.
Someone set a private car on fire.
The fuel tank exploded.
Flames began to spread through the streets.
The thick smoke caused passersby to cover their mouths and noses, frown and leave quickly.
Flying newspapers swept through the streets, and the demonstration groups grew larger and larger.
"Activate the company's emergency plan and apply to activate more security-type bionic humans!"
Such voices are heard within many companies.
In order to protect the company's property and internal employees, they had to activate more security androids to guard the company gate 24 hours a day to prevent those marching people from breaking in.
Big companies can do this, but small shops will suffer.
There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, and they are all coming and going in a hurry.
The city began to fall into chaos.
"This incident is actually just a trigger. This city has been suppressed for too long." Lu Wen stood at the door of the Executive Bureau and sighed in a low voice.
Zero's vision began to become reality bit by bit.
People in Mowu City sit in front of the TV every day, watching the smoke in the two cities in the west, and also hearing about the chaos in Baker City, another city in the south.
But they have to live in depression and busyness, like tireless puppets.
Those emotions are accumulated in my heart and cannot be released.
Many people choose to die by jumping from the top of a high building, so the suicide rate in Mowu City is quite high.
There are many more who are just surviving.
So those negative emotions, anxiety, hesitation, confusion, anger, etc., all broke out on this day.
[The hard work and simplicity of the mayor’s grandpa are obvious to all, but now the android actually wants to use a fake video to frame him]
[Bionic people cannot be trusted]
[Guarding the cutest mayor]
[…]
Countless headlines appeared on major social platforms.
The marchers naturally turned these titles into physical banners as slogans for the parade.
And Lu Wen’s fans are not vegetarians either.
After being suppressed in the early stage, they quickly reacted and cleaned up various media platforms with strong combat power.
[Guard the cutest brother Lu Wen]
This title made Lu Wen want to complain.
Most of his fans are young girls, so the various slogans of support seem a bit immature.
But that’s okay.
Now the two sides have begun to stalemate, forming a tug-of-war.
Only Wei Bo'an's fans are the most helpless.
[Grandpa Mayor and Lu Wen, these two are the conscience of Mowu City in my heart, why do they suddenly confront each other]
[Puzzled and puzzled]
[I hope Uncle Wei is safe and sound]
Except for the extreme supporters of both parties.
Nowadays, most people have the attitude of being a passer-by.
Everyone can see Lu Wen's actions during this period, and his relationship with Wei Bo'an is also well known. The two of them are often photographed drinking together.
But as Zhen Yingjie’s supporters said.
[Do bionic people really have emotions?]
Such questions have everyone thinking.
Wei Bo'an is physically strong and proficient in various fighting skills. If he is not a familiar person, it would be difficult for him to disappear silently. Only Lu Wen's relationship with him is enough to make him relax his vigilance.
On the other hand, the video given by Lu Wen was so real that people had to believe it.
Just like that, everyone was waiting for the press conference in the afternoon.
At the entrance of the Parliament Building is a quite large square, where many important speeches, such as the mayor's inauguration and resignation speeches, will be held.
So this conference is open to everyone.
"Brother Lu Wen, I support you."
A second-level executive patted Lu Wen on the shoulder.
"Although you are an android, I have always treated you as a human being."
"Yes, I have always regarded you as a brother. If you hadn't saved me on the fifth floor of the shopping mall, I would have been a handful of dust in the box now." Another executive said
"Don't worry, we all believe in you!"
Everyone expressed their support and asked Lu Wen not to put too much psychological pressure on him.
Among the crowd, Hu Zun looked ugly. After this incident was over, no matter what the outcome was, he would not be able to hang out in the Executive Bureau.
An older third-level executive officer waved to everyone.
"It's time to go. Activate all the sleeping androids in the bureau to suppress those marching guys. They are all really lawless."
He posted the message on the public channel.
There is no general manager in the Thirteenth District now, and some third-level executive officers are the largest.
At the same time, similar news also appeared in the channels of other regional executive bureaus, and they all began to organize.
"Can I use a gun?"
"It's better to say goodbye. Even if it's a signal of firing a gun, if it is photographed by the media, it can be twisted into us attacking ordinary people."
"Use rubber batons, bring tear gas..."
