Enforcer's Handbook

Whether in 2020 or 2166, Song Lan is not a travel enthusiast.

It's not that he rejects traveling, but because there is really no one to go out with him. Instead of being a lonely traveler outside alone, it is better to stay at home and spend a rare vacation time comfortably.

But after Lu Xiang proposed the idea of ​​traveling, Song Lan expressed support.

After all, Lu Xiang is different from him. She works hard every day, and her hard-earned vacation should leave a beautiful memory.

A few days before the holiday, she completed the interrogation work, explained the next content to the section chiefs of each department, and then took Song Lan to go shopping with her on the last night.

Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a private space for two people has turned into an interview session for citizens to interview Lu Xiang because of the recent popularity of law enforcement.

I didn't even pick out a few clothes, and the time I spent talking about work was much longer than the meeting between their section chiefs.

This made Song Lan realize that it would be impossible for him and Lu Xiang to date in the city in the future. At least during this period, Lu Xiang attracted more attention than the popular celebrities in District 17.

Early that morning, Song Lan was awakened by the alarm on her cell phone.

When she opened her eyes, Lu Xiang had already finished washing. She was sitting in front of the mirror, carefully putting a crystal pendant on her fair neck.

She usually doesn't have the habit of wearing jewelry. This pendant was given to her by the store after the interview at the mall that day.

It is said to be the work of a certain master. This pendant can buy more than two of his MK-IIs.

Song Lan had to lament that the prices of luxury goods in 2166 had not dropped at all.

Hearing the alarm, Lu Xiang walked towards him, and when he sat on the edge of the pillow, he deliberately brought the crystal pendant close to him.

"How about it?"

"nice."

Regardless of whether it is due to low or high emotional intelligence, there is only one standard answer to this question.

Although Lu Xiang has to go out for work almost every day and is exposed to wind and sun, her skin is quite white and tender. She has not noticed that she has used any brand of skin care products.

Under the early morning sunlight, the crystal pendant complemented her white skin.

"I'm not asking you that."

Lu Xiang bit her lower lip tightly, her expression looking a little weird, "Can you stop me?"

"Blocking what?"

"Of course this is it!"

Lu Xiang gently opened the pendant, and a discordant red mark immediately appeared on his white skin.

"Can stop it."

Song Lan smiled. No wonder Lu Xiang got up so early in the morning and played with jewelry in front of the mirror. He thought that the other party had finally awakened his interest in dressing up.

They were going to take a bus soon. Her skin was already white, and it was easy for people to notice a red mark under her neck.

"That's good. Get up and get ready. They won't wait for us if we're late."

After some discussion, they finally decided to take the most unpretentious way of traveling - taking a bus to the first stop.

The main reason is that their family only has two means of transportation.

One is Lu Xiang's hover car, and the other is his MK-II.

In the "outside world", the hover car is basically equivalent to a moving target, and it will bring great pressure to the people in the station. Only arms dealers or criminal groups will fly around in the hover car.

Although Lu Xiang expressed great interest in riding a bicycle, the proposal was ultimately rejected by Song Lan because of his lack of physical strength.

He didn't want the memory of his first trip in 2166 to be filled with scenes of sweaty cycling.

Travel buses are the way for most people in District 17 to go to the "outside world". They are cheap and safe. It is said that the owners of travel buses have contacted overseas criminal groups, and even criminals will give them face and will not take the initiative to deal with them. Tour bus takes action.

After all, those who choose travel buses will not be rich and powerful. Even if they are blocked on the road and robbed, they will not get much money.

It's safe when you're in the car, but you can't tell when you get to the inn.

Lu Xiang asked Song Lan to prepare mentally in advance.

District 17, with a sky-high crime rate, can be regarded as a model city in front of the "outside" inns and small towns. Fighting between criminal groups and the local Self-Defense Forces is a common occurrence. If passers-by are killed in the crossfire, it will also You can only admit that you are unlucky.

So Song Lan had to ask a question that struck straight to the soul.

Why would they travel to a place where gunfights happen every day?

Lu Xiang's answer was so convincing that it was impossible to refute.

Because her name was blacklisted due to a series of recent incidents, various cities declined her invitation.

Seeing how Lu Xiang was looking forward to the trip, Song Lan had to reluctantly agree to the proposal to travel to the "outside world". He sincerely hoped that the criminals in the "outside world" would give him face and allow him to stay for a few days.

Just after 9 o'clock, the two of them dragged their suitcases to the tour bus stop.

In order to prevent the trip from turning into an interview with Lu Xiang again, this time they carried out a certain degree of disguise.

Wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses, we got on the bus and headed straight to the last row.

It was only a two-hour drive from District 17 to the first stop. Seeing people getting on the bus one after another, Song Lan couldn't help but think of the time she spent traveling with her classmates in the social survey class at the university.

That was one of the few travel memories he had since childhood.

After sitting down, Lu Xiang leaned on his shoulder very naturally. To outsiders, they looked like a young couple in love.

"Song Lan, look at that person."

After a while, a stream of warm air came to his ears.

Lu Xiang's voice was very soft, only the two of them could hear it.

Song Lan looked where she pointed and saw a man dressed plainly. Before he took his seat, the man looked around the entire carriage. His eyes stayed on several of the passengers for more than five seconds.

"If I guess correctly, he should be a headhunter."

"Headhunter?"

"Although 'outside' criminal groups will not loot vehicles, they will place some people in the traveling convoys to observe. These people are called headhunters."

Lu Xiang's tone sounded a little excited, just like those little girls who sighed when they saw beautiful flowers and birds and saw the wind-swept wheat fields during their travels.

"They will target several targets during the journey, and when they arrive at the inn, they will convey the news to their companions there, and then they will wait for opportunities to rob these targeted targets."

This is indeed a novel discovery for Lu Xiang.

Because at her level, she doesn't have access to headhunters who don't even have bounties in her daily work.

Moreover, the place where other people commit crimes is usually in the "outside world", which is not under the jurisdiction of law enforcement officials.

At this moment, Song Lan understood one thing.

For Lu Xiang, various types of criminals are probably the flowers, birds, and women in her journey.

She was talking about potential crimes in the cheerful voice of a little girl.
