Enforcer's Handbook

Song Lan witnessed a murder scene.

However, the nature of the homicide is somewhat special.

For example, one of the deceased at the scene was himself, and one of the murderers was his future wife. This easily reminded him of some family ethics dramas that took place in 2167.

Yes, in this era of simple folk customs, the way people resolve family conflicts is much rougher than in the past. For example, he heard Captain Doug say before that when they received a report and rushed to the scene, the victim of a family conflict had a chest A hole had been made by a shotgun bullet.

And now, one of the murderers at the crime scene is holding his palm carefully, looking at the scar across the palm with distress, and carefully smearing the wound with a cotton swab dipped in disinfectant.

"Why is there such a big cut? Doesn't it hurt?"

While speaking, she breathed hot breath into the wound.

"Inglie is too suspicious and has been sprayed with healing spray."

"Ordinary healing sprays may leave scars and need to be disinfected carefully."

At this moment, Song Lan felt Lu Xiang's double-standard attitude toward discrimination. If she was injured, she would often just spray a few perfunctory healing sprays on her and never consider the issue of wound infection or scarring. It made him feel more at ease, at least Lao Lu wasn't impatient with him yet.

"How is he doing now? Do you need me to go over and help you deal with the scene?"

"No, just to be on the safe side, I brought Ye Lu over... No! He was very cooperative and shared what he knew. Now we can be considered friends."

"Then it seems that he is quite sensible. Okay, I will help you wrap the wound with medical gauze. Don't let the wound get wet for the next two days."

After completing the disinfection and bandaging work, Lu Xiang calmly glanced at the "Daily Tips for Love" underneath the information. The wound treatment scene was specifically mentioned in the manual, but he had been with Song Lan for so long. This was the first time in a long time that she encountered an obvious wound on Song Lan's body.

The manual says that when a person is hurt, he or she feels most insecure. At this time, the warm concern from a loved one makes it easier to enter the other person's heart.

It's just that she hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't make up her mind to use her tongue to help lick the wound as mentioned in the manual, mainly because they were all in the bureau now, and everyone was busy working on the robbery of Southeast Bank, and there was no guarantee. Which section chief would push open the door and enter.

After I get home in the evening, I can try it out by taking off the gauze.

"What happened to those people just now?"

"They probably wanted to use this to inquire about the progress of the case, and then set up a trap to replace me so that the entire case would be under their control."

On the way, Lu Xiang deliberately gave wrong information. For example, the person Song Lan met today was not Guan Lili but Inglie. However, judging from the reaction of the counterfeiters, it seemed that they did not know these details.

And he was so impatient that his purpose was clearly exposed in just ten minutes' journey. This may be because they believed that the trap they set was perfect.

"They are very interested in the family members of Southeast Bank's network security, and they may want to silence them."

This contact provided her with a lot of implicit information, "The impostor pretending to be you is full of loopholes. Apart from looking just like you, he has almost nothing in common. In other words, he behaves more like someone else." You in the eyes of others.”

Obviously, they knew nothing about the real Song Lan.

When he encountered an illegal violation while walking side by side with him, the counterfeit rushed into the alley first and even fought with the criminals in hand-to-hand combat.

In Song Lan's words, it was probably Douban that refused to rate.

When the real Song Lan encounters this kind of thing, he will just yell at her like a stupid bird, "Help, murder!".

But it was this kind of counterfeit that deceived the people closest to the Southeast Bank network security engineer, leaving his wife convinced that her husband was being coerced.

"I guess that if this kind of worm wants to completely replace a person, it needs to extract the host's knowledge, memory and lifestyle through the process of parasitism. However, they have no chance to parasitize into your body, so they can only guarantee the appearance. same."

For those knowledge and memories that cannot be retrieved, they can only imitate through the evaluations of those around them and on the Internet, just like other people.

This makes them no different from ordinary criminals.

Lu Xiang summarized the clues he had deduced.

"And they seem to know nothing about Lao Sa. What does this mean?"

"It means they don't have swarm consciousness."

Song Lan answered tacitly.

The swarm consciousness is not unique to them, but a characteristic possessed by all Devourers. Individuals under the influence of Devourer consciousness will share memories to a certain extent, just like a hornworm scout in District 17 found the prisoner. , which is equivalent to all members of the insect swarm having witnessed the characteristics of the prisoner.

But the toll collector who was attacked yesterday did not bring the news about Lao Sa and others to their companions.

Lu Xiang followed Song Lan's answer and said, "So, these worms are just individuals living alone?"

"That's not necessarily the case. I think they are carrying out some organized and disciplined actions now. On the way back, I asked Dr. Bai Zhu to help investigate the recent criminal records of all cities of the coalition government, and found that a total of 23 incidents occurred in various cities during the recent period. Commit a bank robbery.”

Of course, more than half of the bank robberies failed, and law enforcement departments in some core cities reported that all the robbers were killed.

"They don't seem to be targeting District 17 or Southeast Bank. They seem more like using this method to amass a large amount of money. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of individual worms is not strong. A well-equipped security team can suppress them."

It's important to be aware of their healing abilities in advance and to be on the lookout for worms that may emerge from the carcass at any time.

"According to Lao Sa's speculation, when the parasitic worm realizes that it cannot escape intact, the worm will wait for an opportunity to escape from the corpse or parasitize into the body of a new host."

But now, these smart robbers came to the door, allowing them to obtain several worm primitives at once.

Madele has already launched corresponding research.

"But there's one thing I don't understand."

Song Lan said, "They rob banks just because they rob banks. Why do they look like me?"

He is an honest and responsible citizen, who has he offended?
