Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

The weather in Peicheng has not been very good recently, it has been gloomy. Thick dark clouds always hover in the sky, but it never rains. No matter day or night, the lights are always on. Those lights dye the clouds into colorful colors, but they don't look beautiful because of it, but they have the feeling of stirring a river polluted by chemicals.

Contrary to the gloomy climate, the city streets were all decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and everyone was welcoming the Great Exposition with a warm atmosphere. It is said that if everything goes well with this expo, it can bring at least several hundred million in revenue to Peicheng. The things they say are always "reliable", don't forget that they are also the "reporters" that Director Pace will continue to carry out anti-drug work to the end!

The weather was gloomy, the mood was gloomy, even Lucy was gloomy. She wears a mask all day long, so you can't see her face, but as long as you get familiar with her, you can judge her mood from her speaking speed, word choice, and body movements. As soon as Zhuang Xuteng entered the office, he saw her with her head lowered and silent, pressing hard on a pile of intelligence files with both hands. The coffee on her desk had long since gone cold, and had reappeared in layers. It had probably been left out for more than one night. Zhuang Xuteng stepped forward and poured out the coffee, brushed the cup and replaced it with a new one. Only then did she raise her head as if waking up from a dream.

"Everything is rubbish, including this one." Lucy first said to Nightingale and Yanque: "This is a commission brought by Palovic. You know who he is. Brother Naike and Dao owe Palo You two don’t have Vicky’s favor, so you two don’t have to accept this commission.”

"As long as Naike and Brother Dao take over, we will take over." Nightingale spoke on behalf of the two of them, saying: "Thank you for your concern. We acted together with the two mercenaries and earned an extra share from their reputation. If you pay more money, you have to bear the favor they owe to establish their name."

"If you insist on doing this, then I won't advise you. This mission is very difficult, and you may have to go against the PCPD." Lucy threw the document bag containing the intelligence to the four of them and said, "There is no choice. There is no room for it, and this is the task of returning the favor.”

The four major gangs in Peicheng took the lead, and other medium-sized gangs followed up and handed over a large amount of blue crystals to the PCPD. Now how to deal with these things has become a hot potato. According to the so-called "market" price, these blue crystal products cost more than one billion. If you take into account the price increases caused by the shortage of goods, there is no problem in saying that they are worth billions.

"Currently, the plan given by Director Pace is to use chemical methods to safely destroy it, and must avoid harm to Peicheng's environment and people's health. Not many people believe his words, and everyone is eyeing this batch of things. At present, the evidence The defense level of the warehouse is comparable to protecting the heads of the four major groups, it can be said that not even a fly can fly in."

"If this batch of goods is shipped to other cities and sold as before, then the reputation of PCPD will be completely ruined." Lucy said: "What Palovich wants you to do is to keep an eye on this batch of goods. If they are really Once it has been resold, we have absolutely tangible evidence to pull Pace from its current position.”

Upon hearing this task request, beads of sweat immediately appeared on Zhuang Xuteng's forehead. "Does Palovic and Pace have a personal vendetta? This action seems to be aimed at Chief Pace personally. He is from the riot squad, why would he deal with the PCPD like this?"

Lucy waved her hand and said: "I am not a psychiatrist. I don't know Palovic's mental state. I can only start from the known intelligence. At present, how the constitutional government allocates security management funds is the riot control unit and The main point of disagreement between the PCPD and the PCPD has been that the riot squad has been dominant some time ago. However, as the anti-drug work has brought high exposure, the PCPD has gradually taken back the initiative. If the PCPD can make a fortune from these blue crystals again, They will have enough funds to upgrade their equipment to catch up with the riot control unit."

Ge Gongdao snorted and said: "It seems like it's a matter of money, but it can't be all about money. I've seen a lot in this industry. If you want to mess with Pace, it's better to kill him directly. Why bother looking for these evidences?" ?”

Lucy pointed at Ge Gongdao, nodded vigorously, and said: "I also think this matter is abnormal, but this is what Palovich asked. The task of the four of you is to keep an eye on the PCPD's evidence warehouse. Don't Killed by PCPD security personnel. Keep an eye on where those things are going and take photos to show they are being resold."

"If they don't sell, will we keep waiting?" Ge Gongdao sighed and asked.

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said: "No, PCPD will definitely deal with those blue crystals as soon as possible and will not let them occupy resources all the time. Sister Lucy, can this be done in reverse? Find someone to buy some blue crystals and create evidence Isn’t it okay?”

"Middlemen don't deal with blue crystals," Lucy said, tapping her knuckles on the table.

"I know you don't do it, and I know that the middlemen in Peicheng don't do it either, but what about outside Peicheng?" Zhuang Xuteng said: "If someone expresses to Pace that he can process some blue crystals and gives a good price, what do you think? Will Pace take the bait?”

"I've also thought about this plan, but the problem is that it's too risky." Lucy shook her head and said, "I don't have the resources to do this, and I can't find a credible partner. I'm in Peicheng He’s just a small character and doesn’t have enough influence, let alone outside of Peicheng.”

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and had another plan in his mind, and said: "There are many people staring at the evidence warehouse now, and our family is also included...Sister Lucy, if there is a family who is following the evidence and asks about this matter when they have the opportunity, tell them If word spreads that the PCPD possesses billions of blue crystals but doesn't deal with it, will it in turn force Director Pace to deal with it more urgently?"

"Taking advantage of the media and public opinion is a good idea, but under normal circumstances, you need to catch Pace's interests or weaknesses in order to force him. If he is just not in a hurry, it will be useless for you to press him."

Zhuang Xuteng hummed and said, "If it feels like everything is under control, Pace will certainly not be anxious, but we can create a sense of anxiety: for example, there are groups outside that are eyeing these things."

Lucy was stunned for a moment, then leaned forward, obviously interested: "Tell me, how to do it?"

"Everyone acts based on intelligence, including Pace, PCPD and the riot squad." Zhuang Xuteng said: "If there are rumors on the road that someone is interested in the blue crystals stored in the warehouse, and this person is indeed enough Awesome, can Pace still be calm and composed?”

"Who is this powerful enough person?" Lucy asked.

"It can't be us, mercenaries can't scare him; it can't be a gang, no matter local or foreign, there is no reason to act; let alone the company, the company is on the same side as Pace in this matter." Zhuang Xuteng said: " There happens to be one guy who is very suitable to take the blame: the Gardeners Organization.”

Uh... The Gardener Organization is indeed suitable for taking the blame, but according to Naike's own analysis, Palovic is organized by the Gardener Organization... Ge Gongdao and Lucy looked at Zhuang Xuteng, but they couldn't figure it out for a while. But after a while, when they came around the bend, they couldn't help but shout "Hello!"

"According to Palovic's attitude, the Gardeners organization is the least likely to collude with Director Pace, and judging from their actions of blowing up the TV station building, they don't mind destroying it." Lucy snapped her fingers and said: " Pace got these blue crystals from the gang in Peicheng, and the only thing he can't accept is destruction."

Ge Gongdao nodded and said: "It is impossible for gangs to give away their benefits in vain. Even if there is the Sanliu Charity Foundation to promote the Safe Blue Project as a driving force, it is impossible to pay for these billions of blue crystals out of pocket. Pace must take good care of it. When dealing with blue crystals, the prerequisite for everything is that the blue crystals must be intact.”

"Yes, just thinking of this, I feel that the Gardener Organization is the most suitable to use." Zhuang Xuteng said to Lucy: "The key now is whether the Gardener Organization can be disguised. This matter is not easy, especially if the PCPD can't let it go smoothly. If we follow the clues to find us, then we will be the scapegoats for the Gardeners Organization!"

"I understand the key. The first thing is to avoid this kind of dangerous situation. Hmm... As long as rumors appear in the information network, there is no need for the Gardener Organization to come forward directly. Hmm... The more plausible it is, the more real it appears." Lucy He stretched out his hand to reply to the sent mission information and said: "The action plan has changed, and those things need to be changed. I will notify you again..."

Zhuang Xuteng handed back the folder, but he did not agree to suspend the task. "We should act according to the plan you just gave us. This will make it more obvious that the rumors of the Gardener Organization in the information network have nothing to do with us. Besides, your plan is also very good. We can indeed pretend to be media reporters and shoot at the evidence warehouse every day. "

Nightingale and Lucy also agreed: "That's right! You have already prepared the documents for the fake identity. There is no need to waste them. We are reporters and assistants, Nike is the photographer, and Dao is the driver. This seems very reasonable. "

"That's fine, any action you take will always have a positive effect, and someone does have to be on the scene to keep an eye on it." Lucy paused briefly, as if to sort out her emotions, and then said: "It's very difficult to obtain intelligence from the information network now. As I get higher and higher, the significance of using real people to track the scene increases, and I finally understand what the ceiling of the middleman means. Before, I thought that by recruiting more talents and increasing investment in intelligence networks, I could continue to become stronger, but it became increasingly difficult for me to do so. . When there are more people and the difficulty of the task increases, the original method of collecting intelligence through the Internet and then making plans may not necessarily work."

"Sister Lucy, don't be discouraged." Zhuang Xuteng said with a playful smile: "After all, you only make half the money, so you can't worry about it all!"

"You brat! Go and do your half of the work!" Lucy waved her hands vigorously to drive away these four guys, but after such a fuss, she felt much better.

Leaving Lucy's office, the team of four began preparing for the operation. They need to book a room close to the target, investigate the surrounding situation, and obtain various materials to disguise their identity... There are many things to do, and everyone needs to work separately. But Zhuang Xuteng is thinking about another thing now: he feels that Lucy seems to be planning to retire.

"She may feel tired..." Zhuang Xuteng asked Ge Gong privately: "If the middleman quits, what will happen to the mercenaries?"

"Wait for someone to take over, find a new middleman yourself, or withdraw from the industry." Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I don't think Lucy meant that. She may feel that she is too busy and needs to Transfer part of the mercenary business."

"It shouldn't include us, right?"

"Of course not." Ge Gongdao said: "I can understand what she means: if some mercenaries go to other middlemen, she hopes that the two of us will not be shocked by this, let alone feel that she has lost her ability to work. Nike, Lucy can't express her preference and reliance on whom she favors more openly, but she does have a close relationship, so we can just know it in our hearts."

What Brother Dao said made sense, but Zhuang Xuteng couldn't help but think about the future. Although she is always called Sister Lucy, according to the number of years she has been operating in the middleman industry, this "sister" is not young anymore, and there will always be a day when she can no longer work. Zhuang Xuteng did not think that he would be eliminated by the mercenary industry earlier. He also thought that like his master, he would be able to wash his hands in a golden basin. If Lucy quit before then, he wouldn't necessarily think of continuing with another middleman.

He used to think that everything would remain the same and that as long as he worked hard, he would continue to improve step by step. Now it seems that there are too many things that may cause changes, and there is a ceiling above his head that prevents him from continuing to improve.

The same goes for the work of mercenaries. Once companies and top gangs are involved, the job becomes difficult. Whether they are middlemen or mercenaries, they have to rack their brains and use all their abilities to make some room for movement. This is too difficult. It’s not that Zhuang Xuteng hates challenges, he just doesn’t like the situation where his efforts are not proportional to his income.

Especially for activities that need to be carried out secretly, the feeling of being constrained becomes more obvious. The PCPD has deployed a dragnet in the evidence storage center. The dense surveillance and measures make it difficult for anyone to dare to get close. Through the Eye of Shadow, Zhuang Xuteng saw at least three layers of security personnel inside and three layers outside. There must be more in places he couldn't see. He also tried to sneak through the sewers, but was also stopped back, not to mention the ground and the air.

This is obviously a technical ceiling. Zhuang Xuteng is already a guy with pretty good equipment (implants) in the mercenary industry, and he has nothing to do with the current defensive measures. Fortunately, he still has some weird tricks that allow him to safely retreat from the sewer sneak. When they were pretending to be reporters and taking pictures, they saw more than once that people trying to infiltrate were discovered and eliminated by the PCPD. At least 30% of them should be mercenaries.
