Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 704

"Dr. Lucy, if you didn't lie to me, all this is an illusion of my imagination, then if this is the case, you will not be injured, right?"

While speaking, Allman raised his right hand that had been transformed into a pistol and aimed it between Lucy's eyebrows. He seemed completely unable to hear the approaching law enforcement officers, nor could he see those who jumped off the armored hover vehicle and were about to charge. The members of the violent terrorist mobile team who entered the first floor of the hospital.

"Wait a minute, Allman."

"I can't wait any longer, they are urging me!"

Allman raised his tone, and he pressed the trigger without hesitation, "Dr. Lucy, you are right, the scene when a person's head explodes is too decompressing! Oh, yes, this is just a dream, I'm not here, and you're not here, and I'm going to wake up in a while..."

"boom--!"

The members of the terrorist mobile team who rushed into the first floor responded to Allman with more gunshots. They carried out their usual style. The dense bullets punctured his body, and he could not find a complete part. .

And Lucy's thoughts seemed to stop at this moment.

She is going to die.

The Terrorist Team was a step behind, and she clearly heard the gunshot and the flames from Allman's pistol.

The gun was aimed at her head, and the next moment, her head might explode like Allman's boss.

but……

She was going to die so easily at the hands of a patient?
"Time starts to flow, get out of the way!"

The voice in her ear brought her back to reality. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lucy seemed to see Hogg teleporting from a few steps away to her side from the corner of her eye. , struggling to knock her away.

The bullet that was originally shot at her head hit the member of the violent mobile team, and only a little bit of insignificant sparks were rubbed on it.

Lucy found herself sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment, but Hogg had already turned into a serious expression. He turned his head to look at the members of the Terrorist Mobile Squad, and said in a deep voice, "You guys came too slowly!"

If he hadn't activated his substitute ability at a critical moment, the new friend he finally met might be in danger.

The members of the violent terrorist mobile team obviously recognized Hogg, and they dared not refute after being taught by him.

They also did not expect that the ruler of the dignified Foster family would appear here. What is even more inconceivable is that the moment the criminal opened fire, he actually knocked away a psychiatrist with his body. You must know the meaning of Allman's reform. The body pistol is equipped with an explosive warhead, and Hogg may also be injured as a result.

This is not a congressman they are familiar with.

Faced with such a critical situation, they wished that the people around them would serve as their human shields and help them block every shrapnel.

Is it possible...

This psychiatrist is Hogg's concubine?

But judging by their age, there should be a difference of more than 40 years.

The members of the Terrorist Mobile Squad came up with this idea by coincidence, but after thinking about it, this age difference is very common in the first district. You can hear a lot of gossip about the congressmen.

"Go and finish your work."

Hogg gave them instructions, bent down to help Lucy, and helped her, who was still in a drowsy state, onto the elevator.

Lucy's office is designed in an apartment style, the whole room is in warm colors, the living room has been transformed into a small library, and the first bookshelf is full of books about psychology.

She usually lives here, the living room is used for office work, and she goes directly to the bedroom to rest after get off work.

She sat on the sofa exhausted, and hadn't recovered from the accident just now.

This is where she usually chats with patients. Before, Allman sat beside her and told him about the unfair treatment she encountered in the workplace. The last time she saw Allman was at the elevator door. Before closing, he fell in a pool of blood, and was put into a body bag by the members of the violent terrorist mobile team like garbage.

The criminal died on the spot.

His name might be on the entertainment-style evening news of the First District, and he would be the subject of ridicule by the anchors.

She didn't hold a grudge against Allman. He was a poor man crushed by work, and there were plenty of poor people like him in the First District.

"I didn't expect that a psychiatrist is also a dangerous profession. You have often encountered such things before?"

Hogg was a little curious. This was the first time he had observed other people's lives through his own eyes. In the past, his knowledge of other professions was limited to work reports or the data provided during meetings. For congressmen, the world Everyone else is a piece of cold data.

It is difficult for a person to empathize with data, so even reports of deaths involving crime, disease, and accidents do not involve too many emotional fluctuations in his mind.

But this time, he thought of his new friend Lucy.

If she had died at the gunpoint of that psychopath, it would have only added one more person to the crime report, not even a percentage of the death toll, which was so... insignificant.

This was the first time in Hogg's life that he felt heavy because of those cold data.

"No, this is the first time."

The most serious patients in the past usually go on the road of self-destruction. They seldom drag other people to be buried with them when they are ill like Allman. This makes Lucy fall into deep self-blame. The suggestion played a role in fueling the flames, "I thought he was cured."

She remembered that the last time they met, Mr. Allman was in good spirits.

His entire mentality has changed. He no longer pays attention to the harshness of his boss and the unhappiness he encountered at work. He begins to think about his future life. With a large deposit, he returned to his hometown and lived a slow-paced life.

He can buy a big house and take over his family to live in. Recently, he is researching artificial intelligence and asks her to help provide advice.

At that time, Allman was full of hope for the future life.

It seems that because of Hogg's intervention, they were quickly notified by the law enforcement department.

The whole thing doesn't sound complicated.

It was nothing more than the company's recent downturn, and a group of employees needed to be dismissed. Allman was included in the list because he had taken leave to see a psychiatrist, but later Allman found out that everything was an excuse. A new employee took his place. He wanted to talk to his boss, but was beaten up by the security guard and left on the street.

In a rage, Allman went to the prosthetic body hospital, transformed his hand into a pistol, and shot his boss in the head on the way out.

"This is the company's usual method."

Hogg commented that he really knows the company too well. They don’t need too many reasons to fire people. When they think that you no longer have value to the company, they will find many legal and compliant means to fire you.

Things like this happen all the time, and Allman is perhaps the most special of them all.

Because the others will just swallow this dumb loss meekly, and leave the first district in despair.

"Unemployment has caused his condition to deteriorate sharply. He just recently paid off the debt owed by the prosthetic body transformation..."

Lucy muttered to herself.

She understood Allman's behavior, but she didn't understand the inexplicable sentence he said as he pulled the trigger gun—someone was urging him.

Who is urging him?

And why are you urging him?

Although auditory hallucinations are a very common symptom for mental patients, Lucy still felt that something was wrong. She had to suspect that someone might have said something to Allman that caused his condition to deteriorate sharply.

After being laid off and unemployed, Allman never contacted him again, and when he reappeared, his condition was so serious that he put a gun to her head.

But then, Lucy discovered something more important.

"Thank you, Mr. Hogg, if it weren't for you, I might be dead."

In theory, she approached Hogg to treat his mental illness, but she never expected that she would be saved by Hogg instead.

She felt that Jock would not believe what happened on the first floor just now.

When confronted with a gun-wielding criminal, Hogg even risked being shot and knocked her away at the very moment.

Perhaps, this is also one of the symptoms of the disease, but it makes Hogg gentle and compassionate.

"You're welcome, substitute messengers should help each other."

Hogg said, "And even without me, your substitute will help you avoid bullets in times of crisis. Some people have said that a substitute is the embodiment of human spiritual power, so it will definitely protect you."

"... Someone? Do you have any other companions?"

Lucy felt she had captured an important message.

"It's not convenient for him to show up."

"I understand."

Lucy nodded thoughtfully, and she realized that just like what happened to Allman, the reason why Hogg believed in the identity of his stand-in messenger was probably the product of someone's guidance, and what happened just now What made her think differently about the concept.

She still couldn't explain how Hogg, who was a few steps away from her, knocked her away faster than the bullet.

unless……

Hogg can really stop the time of the whole world for 2 seconds as he said.

"You should take a good rest, we will contact you later."

Hogg saw that Lucy's mental state was not good, and said proactively, "You have my contact information, I should stay in the first district recently, and keep in touch at any time."

..........................................

After waiting anxiously, Jock finally received a call from Lucy.

"What's the diagnosis? When will he return to normal at the soonest? You can use more drugs appropriately, at least to ensure that he can stay awake at the meeting next week."

The moment the phone was connected, Jock's tone of fire came over.

"Mr. Jock."

Lucy waited patiently for Jock to finish speaking, and gave him a few seconds to calm down before saying, "After meeting Mr. Hogg, I changed my mind."

When speaking, she was standing by the window, looking at the familiar night scene of the first district.

It was night, and the whole city was brightly lit. She saw that there were countless people like Allman on the opposite side of this building.

And after this night's encounter, she developed a strong interest in Hogg.

"Maybe, the stand-in messenger is real."

When she said this, there was a long silence on both ends of the phone.

Jock pondered for a long time, as if he was sorting out his words.

But after more than ten seconds, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Lucy, are you sick too?"
