Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 702 Hogg's Strange Date

Song Lan felt that Lu Xiang's analysis this time was unreasonable.

He admitted that both "Mouse" and Mr. Hogg showed their comedian talent, but he didn't think it was caused by his ability. Maybe they just took off the masks they usually used to disguise and showed Authentic self.

The slogans of other believers are "for the greater good" or "for the evolution of all mankind", but his "believer" has become a comedian, which makes Song Lan very embarrassed and does not want to accept this fact.

But on the other hand, he has never thought about the possible impact of disturbing psychic powers on the disturbed object. His good friend, the former principal of the Wisteria Academy who has not had time to disclose his name, has never talked with him. Having mentioned this matter, he felt that this should be an academic issue.

"actually……"

Lu Xiang hesitated to speak, but in the end she still made up her mind. When she mentioned this matter to Song Lan, "I always thought you had a great talent for being funny."

In daily life, she would always be amused by Song Lan inadvertently. You must know that when she was studying at Qiming School, she once went to the theater to watch a comedy performance. The performance that lasted more than two hours never made her laugh. She smiled, but it made her feel sleepy.

When she heard that she was assigned to the seventeenth district after graduation, she thought that she might never laugh in her life.

However, in the short few months of knowing Song Lan, she has been teased more times than in the past combined. There were a few times in public, and she almost pinched the back of her hand to bleed so that she could not be seen by colleagues. Laugh out loud in front of them.

"I'm never funny, not only that, I'm a pretty serious person!"

Song Lan tried to restore his reputation. He believed that Lu Xiang's accusation did not conform to the facts. He usually neither told jokes, nor did some exaggerated dramatic performances, nor did some nonsensical pranks.

"Well, you are the kind of serious funny, which is the rarest thing."

Lu Xiang said that she knew that Song Lan didn't do it on purpose, but many of his usual behaviors happened to be on her point of laughter. If it was a genuinely conscious joke, it wouldn't work on her.

She felt that Song Lan might have passed on his talent to "Mouse" and Hogg through interference-type psychic powers.

Just as Song Lan was thinking about how to refute the other party, Mr. Hogg backstabbed him again.

After a 5-minute pause, the worried Hogg sent him another series of text messages:
What clothes should stand-in people wear when meeting each other?
What should we talk about after we meet?
What taboo topics to avoid?

Would it be too abrupt to send flowers when you meet for the first time?
……

Mr. Hogg seems to have a lot of problems, but because Song Lan has already blocked him intelligently, every time he calls, he will get the prompt "The number you dialed is currently on the phone", so he can only put every question that comes to his mind. All questions were sent to Song Lan via text messages.

He also transfered a consulting fee of [-] watts to Song Lan very politely.

"I am the executive officer of the highest operational department of MI[-], not a kindergarten teacher!"

Song Lan jumped up at the case. He watched Mr. Hogg disappear in the direction of the comedian forever. The other party even sent a photo. It was a wig he bought from nowhere. To cover up his slightly bald appearance—he had never been so formal in a meeting before.

Obviously, Hogg seems to want to make a good first impression on the psychiatrist who is also the stand-in messenger.

Lu Xiang urged, "Would you like to follow me to see?"

She is also very curious about the changes in Hogg. By observing Mr. Hogg, she can draw some theories about Song Lan's abilities, which will help her complete "Stupid Bird Observation Diary".

In fact, as early as a few months ago, she had noticed Song Lan's influence on the people around her.

People in the department who have been with Song Lan for a long time will more or less show characteristics such as laziness and laziness. At the same time, they will become peaceful, happy every day, and look at nothing This kind of mentality is rare for ordinary people living in this era, but it is a bit wrong for law enforcement officers.

Lu Xiang now suspects that this may be the result of Song Lan's psychic energy radiating to the surroundings unconsciously.

Even she has inevitably changed - some time ago, when she woke up every morning, she wanted to lie in bed for a while.

On the other hand, Mr. Hogg is very nervous about meeting another messenger.

This may be what the young people in the family describe as the feeling of meeting netizens.

He rarely had such an opportunity. As a politician, everyone he met in the past was purposeful, even relatives and friends were no exception. In a big family like Foster, almost no There is pure family affection, and since he can remember, he has been in the vortex of power struggle.

But now, he is acting for the "meeting of the same kind".

Hogg stood in front of the mirror, put on a wig, tidied up his appearance, and chose a decent black suit. Finally, he did not forget to spray himself with some men's perfume. Not long after, the ordered plastic bouquet was also delivered to the door. This is a special bouquet made by a gift company attached to the Foster family, and it is said that there is also a fluorescent light function inside.

Before going out, he glanced at his phone again.

Mr. Rob Lucci finally wrote back.

There is no special taboo in the communication between substitute messengers, but there is some kind of wonderful connection between them, so that they can recognize each other at a glance in the vast crowd.

This calmed him down a little.

Hogby arrived at the coffee shop downstairs a quarter of an hour earlier than the agreed time - in the past, as an important figure in various gatherings, he was often present at the finale and rarely attended early.

A few minutes later, a psychiatrist in a coat and sunglasses entered the door.

When their eyes met, both of them froze in place at the same time. After a while, Hogg showed a trace of joy in his eyes—Mr. Lu Qi was honest with him, he recognized his own kind immediately .

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he was the only customer in the coffee shop at that time besides the staff.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Hogg, I'm Lucy."

Lucy hesitated for a long time at the door of the coffee shop before making up her mind and walking over.

Hogg's mental state was quite different from what she had imagined, and it was also different from any mental patient she was familiar with. According to Joke's description and the content of their last call, she could easily make up a mental state. An old man who is depressed and looks extremely sloppy.

But now Hogg looks full of vigor, and seems to have carefully arranged his grooming before going out. When she thinks that the person in front of her is the current ruler of the Foster family, she is a little flattered.

It seems that Mr. Hogg specially prepared a meeting ceremony for her.

This made Lucy doubt her previous diagnosis.

The reason why she asked Hogg to come out is very simple. Joker hopes that she can cure Hogg's mental illness, but no matter how good a psychologist is, he can't heal a patient who refuses to cooperate. In Hogg's heart, he became a... stand-in messenger.

She specifically looked up a lot of relevant information in the hospital, but she couldn't find any information related to the substitute messenger. Up to now, she still has no idea what kind of people the substitute messenger is.

She'd rather Hogg imagined himself as a mushroom or a pine tree.

Right now, she must figure out the true meaning of the stand-in messenger as soon as possible, "Mr. Hogg..."

"You don't have to be so pretentious, you can call me Hogg."

"Okay, Hogg, how did you discover your identity as a stand-in messenger?"

"Because beside me, an 'evil spirit' appeared."

And this "evil spirit" happened to appear in the image of his deadly enemy, which made Hogg subconsciously think that the other party was here to persecute him.

However, Mr. Lu Qi’s explanation for this is that avatars are projections of human spiritual power, and their images are related to the ability to be born and the will of the main body. Because he is always thinking about the "enthusiastic citizens", he awakens to resemble his image , and also has a stand-in with the same type of ability.

"What kind of 'evil spirit' is it?"

Lucy continued to ask.

Hogg seemed very happy that she would ask that question. He stood up straight from the chair, waved his right hand, "That's right, let me show you my substitute!"

Lucy held her breath, and even the staff of the coffee shop cast strange glances at the table.

More than ten seconds passed, Hogg still maintained the posture just now, but unfortunately nothing happened, which made him a little embarrassed, and explained, "I just became a stand-in ability not long ago, and I haven't been able to fully master this ability yet. "

This scene was also clearly seen by Song Lan and Lu Xiang who were across the street.

Song Lan covered his face in pain. Even he felt embarrassed for Mr. Hogg from the bottom of his heart. This embarrassment of posing in a strange pose but nothing happened somehow made him feel the same way. The setting of "Series" was as embarrassing as Lu Xiang saw it.

Fortunately, for him, such a thing will never happen.

Lu Xiang next to him showed a "really so" expression - now Hogg has begun to try his own performance as a comedian, and the performance is as embarrassing as the theater troupe who came to Qiming Academy before.

The failure to call the substitute made Hogg and Lucy fall silent at the same time.

About a minute later, Hogg suddenly thought of something, and took out a pistol in front of Lucy.

This is a tactic tailor-made by Mr. Lu Qi for him - due to his own limited physical strength, two seconds is too short for him, so he can only launch a surprise attack on the enemy with the help of guns during the time stop.

But now, he thought of a way to prove his identity.

Under Lucy's shocked gaze, he loaded the gun and pointed the gun at his own head.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Hogg!"

Lucy was scared out of her wits, she quickly put her hand on the muzzle of the gun, "You don't need to do this, I know you are a substitute messenger... The substitute messengers can all sense each other's identities, you don't need to prove this!"

While talking, she caught sight of the clerk who was ready to call the police from the corner of her eye, and she made a plan and said, "It's better to keep our affairs secret, and don't involve ordinary people in it."

"exactly."

Hogg was startled, as if he was convinced by her.

Seeing him finally put down the gun in his hand, Lucy breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she was sure of it.

Mr. Hogg was very ill, and even had strong suicidal tendencies.

Jock must be notified of this as soon as possible.
