Chapter 13: Killing Intent
Qinglong District, located on the east side of the upper floor of the city, is the largest of the four areas on the upper floor, and has the most high-rise buildings.
Among them, there is a jewel-like avenue, Qinglong Center Street, a spacious avenue that runs directly through the north and south.
The street is 50 meters wide, and in the middle of it is a long series of small kiosks built using light and shadow technology, all of which sell food and some accessories, as well as a lot of sex shops, drinks and groceries, everything you need.
There was no such a long list of small shops with an area of only 10 square meters here, and it was only half a year ago, and this plan was formulated by the head of the 9th Commercial Division who had just taken office at the end of the quarter, and it was indeed effectively implemented, and it passed the review of the Congress, and the merchants who want to enter only need to go to the 9th Division to pass the certification, and get a license from the 1st City Management Division to rent such a small house at a price of 10 yuan per night.
This is done to facilitate the rich nightlife of Qinglong District, because most of the shops on this street are not cheap and it is far from some of the lively bars and clubs, so a block in the middle of Qinglong District is convenient for everyone in the district, and it can also increase employment and tax revenue.
Many middle-class people who were willing to work hard saw the business opportunity, and soon the long list of shops on this street was rented, and the place was more lively than before.
Some of the hungry residents in the neighborhood also had a place to eat in the evening, and it was 10:35 p.m. on the edge of the only two sets of tables and chairs outside a noodle shop.
These small shops are open on both sides, and outside are rows of brushed tables and chairs.
"It tastes pretty good, it's just a bargain."
Michelle just took a bite and found that the noodles tasted good, a bowl of 3 pieces of noodles turned out to be so delicious, Jean smiled and sighed helplessly.
"3 yuan is not cheap, for people at the bottom, it is equivalent to a whole day's food expenses."
"Lord Jean, tell me honestly, the purpose of you approaching that little girl is not to see her pitiful, you are not such a gentle person!"
Michelle put down the chopsticks, and Jean still gulped down.
"Offender No. 0017, Lewen, is the father of this girl, and now with your signature in Section 2, her citizen security level has also reached the highest level of 10, and she can successfully pass through all kinds of facilities that require identity testing."
The citizens of Bright City have a level difference, minor crimes will be downgraded, and all kinds of problems, such as frequent dismissal, debts, etc., when it is downgraded to level 0, they will be directly exiled or go to the prison tower to work, and vicious crimes will be demoted to level 0 in an instant, and they will not have any rights and will not be protected in any way.
The citizen safety level is a built-in rating of the citizen level, which is still from 10 to 0, but these are assessed by 5 subjects, which are not visible to ordinary people.
Jean quickly ate the noodles in the bowl, and saw that Michelle still had most of the noodles left in the bowl.
"Don't you eat it?"
"How can you eat something so dirty?"
Jean smiled and brought Michelle's noodles over and ate them.
"Michelle, maybe you were born with a golden key, but as a human being, everyone is the same, with a mouth that needs to eat."
"Lord Jean, I personally think you should be self-respecting, a person of your status actually chooses to do such dirty work on your own, and the guy who doesn't know really thinks you have a problem with your head."
Jean drank the noodle soup and looked satisfied, and then the shopkeeper came over, a drunken old man.
"Little brother, you've been here to eat several times, such a beautiful girlfriend, it's really eye-catching, why do I look a little familiar."
Michelle looked at the bad old man with contempt and disgust, she didn't wear a uniform today, but wore a lilac backless dress, her hair was down, and she didn't wear her usual glasses.
Jean's eyes flashed with a blue light, and he smiled as he got up and paid for it.
"Boss, have you been a little disobedient lately?"
The old man said haha.
"Little brother, I'm 121 years old, and I'm not going to live for a few years, of course my body is not good, but recently my lovely granddaughter was finally born a while ago."
"Pay attention to the body boss."
Then the two walked slowly, Jean was wearing a black suit, the buttons had been unbuttoned, Michelle kept sweeping her body, she had a rather serious cleanliness habit.
"As for the question just now, it is true that part of it is, but not because her father is the 0017 offender."
Gradually, Jean and Michelle came to a high-end club, the club has a total of three floors, covers a large area, belongs to the commercial club, you can see the door of the club, there are mutant bodyguards, you can distinguish from the letter brooch they wear on their chests, the two strong mutants at the door are D-class.
"Sir, please show me your membership card."
Jean blocked it as soon as he passed.
"I'd like to get a membership tonight."
Jean said with a smile on his face, but still blocked the doorway for the bodyguards.
With a snap, the double doors opened, and a cry rang out, and a woman with no clothes on her body, scarred and bruised and bleeding from her face rushed out.
"Catch that slut."
Immediately, the two mutant bodyguards held down the woman, and she cried and cried.
"I don't do it, I don't do it."
Out of it came a vicious one-sided glasses mustache, looking at the woman angrily.
"You didn't say that you were short of money this morning, you signed a special service contract with us, you must fulfill the contract, otherwise I will send you to the 8th Legal Affairs Section, and according to your citizen level, you will be directly exiled to the barrier area, if you know, you will give me back."
The woman had apparently been beaten and had strangulation marks on both hands and feet.
"Two guests, please come in."
This mustache only noticed Jean and them, seeing that they were obviously dressed as high-class people, he immediately became polite, and Michelle walked over gracefully, but suddenly the woman coughed blood and sprayed it on her skirt, and Michelle's face changed suddenly in an instant.
Suddenly Jean stopped in front of Michelle, dragged her and smiled and turned to the woman on the ground and stretched out his hand.
"Guest, this is our problem, if you want to help her pay the liquidated damages."
Jean nodded with a sigh, and after paying the 5,000 liquidated damages, the mustache walked in quickly, took out the contract to terminate the contract, and threw a set of clothes to the woman.
"."
Jean helped the woman get dressed, and helped her to her feet, trembling.
"It's okay to go home and take a shower, get some sleep, and it will be fine tomorrow morning when the sun comes out."
After a while, after the two of them got their membership cards at the counter they entered, they walked up the corridor, and there were all kinds of things in many glass doors, and many people were playing with women.
"Master Jean, don't worry about this kind of thing, it's just a pariah."
Jean tilted his head and smiled.
"It's okay, anyway, we have so much money in our department every month that we can't spend it, and I'm the only one in the department."
After a while, Jean and Michelle came to the entrance of the underground passage, a large and long entrance, and they had come to negotiate with the bosses of the Triad tonight, because there was already a big problem in the city.
There are many citizens suffering from unexplained diseases, weak hands and feet, irregular heartbeat, the illness began three years ago, from the Sanlian company's food raw material purchase is completely less than the shipment too much, special food problems, but these problems are still covered up, this time the attackers with double-headed snake tattoos are targeting the Sanlian company, but everything has long been suppressed, the limelight has not been leaked out until now, the rioters have taken a lot of action, but all under the action of the 5th Public Security Management Division, These criminals lurking in the city and waiting for the riot have no chance to take advantage of it.
Paper can't contain fire, and one day something will go wrong.
Dididi, a burst of alarm system sounded, and immediately several C-class mutants came out of the door on the left side of the passage stairs, a total of 4 people, and they blocked Jean's way.
"Sir, please go back to the upper echelons, your membership level is not enough."
"Could you please help me pass on a message, just say Jean from Section 13, I want to talk to you and tell the guests in the private room at the end."
Suddenly, the four mutants showed a look of surprise, and the mustachioed store manager behind him, who knew that there was a change, also came over, blinked, and then he immediately recognized it.
"Oh, who did I say, isn't this Michel-sama from the General Affairs Section, this is the legendary 13-sama Jean-sama!"
Soon the conversation was over, and the four mutants stood aside obediently, and the mustache stood even more trembling to the side, he knew very well that he couldn't afford to mess with the two guys in front of him, and looking at their menacing appearance, it was best to do everything they said.
"Lord Jean, I just received 5,000 yuan from you, I'll return it to you, five times ....... Not ten times back to you. ”
Jean lit a cigarette and smiled.
"No need."
After a while, a mutant came over with a very bad face and said, the people inside didn't want to talk to Jean.
Whew, everyone only felt a breeze blowing, Jean had already gone to the door of the room at the bottom, his eyes were shining blue, one hand pressed on the door, bang, the door of the room exploded instantly, everyone looked at it in horror, such a heavy door, but it could defend against explosions, it was opened by Jean with his bare hands.
"All the repairs, our general affairs department will find someone to come over and settle the settlement, but the store manager, everything that happened here tonight."
"Don't worry, Mistress Michelle, not a word will be revealed."
Michelle smiled and walked over slowly, looking like she had a headache, and had already taken out the phone and dialed Locke's number to report the situation.
"Good evening, everyone."
In a spacious and bright room, there were three well-dressed people sitting on a platform not far away, surrounded by more than a dozen mutant bodyguards, and in an instant, someone had already taken out a gun, a hexagonal brooch the size of a fingernail shell, which instantly turned into a gun.
Sudden protrusions
The bullets shot densely towards Jean, he didn't make any movement, and instantly only saw a burst of figures flashing, Jean dodged all the bullets and rushed to the table, the mutants around him swarmed up, and suddenly Jean's eyes widened, and the mutants seemed to stop, completely unable to move.
There was a thud, and in an instant, more than a dozen mutants were punched in the abdomen, and a fist mark visible to the naked eye was clearly visible.
There was a crackling sound, and one by one the mutants fainted, all of them were B-class mutants, and at this time, a strong wind flashed on Jean's left side, and a fierce and short A-class mutant grabbed Jean's head with a hooked hand, but the moment Jean turned his head, the little mutant jumped to the door.
"It's so strong, what the hell are you .......?"
With a bang, the little mutant slapped the back of his head before he even noticed, and Michelle slowly stepped in.
"Lord Jean is actually good to let me come, you don't know the severity of your shot, this time it's a lot of money."
There was a rumbling sound, and in an instant the floor and walls of the entire room seemed to be hit by a huge oppressive force, and many places were dented, and in less than two seconds, the room was in shambles, and Jean sat down in front of three people.
"Hmph, Jean of the 13th Branch, it's really better to hear than to see."
The guy sitting across from Jean, over half a hundred years old and with a big red nose, was one of the founders of the Triple Corporation, Ludd.
A drunken middle-aged man on the left, with fluffy hair and burps, his name is Qian Jiazhen, who is one of the founders, while the woman on the right, who looks to be in her 30s, has short hair, a slightly chubby figure, and some round cheeks, named Baochun.
"You're so handsome at this glance, no wonder those little girls are so obsessed with you, Jean."
"Without further ado, what are you doing here, Jean, even if you knew? Do you still want to arrest us? ”
Qian Jiazhen said domineeringly, and Jean smiled and lit a cigarette.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I came today to provide a plan, paper can't contain the fire, I hope you expose your company's food safety problems, and then wait for the public opinion to ferment, and then the Congress will appease, you start to solve the problem, and then give a certain amount of social compensation, so ......."
Before Jean could finish speaking, Bao Chun burst out laughing.
"Jean, you're really joking, what if our food problems come to light, what about the food supply? But nearly 10 million people are without food, and we are doomed. ”
The silent Lourdes poured Jean a glass of wine.
"It's just dead people, they can enjoy decades of sunshine happily, it's already good, besides, Jean, this is the problem of Congress, the output of grain has gradually decreased in recent years, and we have no choice, we can only use industrial raw materials to dope, and Congress is not going to establish an agricultural base in the barrier area, as long as you pay attention not to expose the problem, as for those rioters, it is the problem you should solve, we have contributed to the prosperity of the city, and we pay taxes seriously every year."
Jean stood up and drank the wine from the glass, turned away, tilted his head and grinned wickedly, holding up a finger.
"Give you a week, and if you don't follow the plan I said, I'll take care of everything myself."
Jean had already walked, and Michelle followed behind him helplessly.
"What do you mean, threaten us? Hehe, you better think about what will happen to the untouchables who have no food to eat! What bullshit 13 branches, get out! ”
Qian Jiazhen, who was thunderous, raised his wine glass and smashed it, Jean smiled coldly and did not look back, at this time there was a killing intent in his eyes, and sweat oozed from Michelle's forehead, with fear on his face.
