Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

While Lucy and other intermediaries are meeting to discuss how to deal with the current situation, other forces are not idle either. Everyone must take practical actions to meet any new situation that may occur.

The first to take action were gangs. As Zhuang Xuteng judged, the top gang leaders and the bottom gang leaders are very much like two systems. The people at the top are slightly less chaotic. The guys at the bottom can't restrain their impulse to rob and expand as soon as they see the PCPD being weakened. Especially on the borders of gang territories, many conflicts and greed have only been suppressed, but have not disappeared. The gang members tried a little and found that the PCPD really had no time to control them, so they opened the lid and started to complete the "great cause" that they had not been able to accomplish before.

As a result, there have been many gang-related cases in Peicheng. Some are gangs attacking civilians, and some are gangs fighting each other. Due to the temporary paralysis of the PCPD, the information on these cases cannot be counted, so they are simply not counted. Zhuang Xuteng can't control the cases in the city - it's good if he can take good care of his own people - he focuses on three directions: his family, the implant maintenance shop, and Lucy's music restaurant.

For the time being, the chaos has not left Peicheng and has not spread to Shangcheng District, so neither the parents nor the little sister are in danger. Lucy's music restaurant was specially reinforced some time ago to prevent attacks from the Cemetery Gang, so there is no need to worry for the moment. The implant care shop seems to be the most vulnerable, but it has been designed as a safe house from the beginning. Even if there is an attack and the store is burned to the ground, the employees can be safely rescued by entering the hidden shelter.

However, chaos had already arrived near the implant maintenance shop, so Doyle called Zhuang Xuteng and described the matter. The maintenance shop is located right near the dividing line between gangs and PCPD jurisdictions. We have seen gang members come to ask for an increase in protection fees. We also heard that a parking lot of the PCPD was robbed, and some of the impounded and hauled good cars fell into the hands of the gangs. fanny pack.

"Doyle, just protect yourself and the store. The PCPD is not within our protection range." Zhuang Xuteng told him and said: "If you feel it is necessary, you can close the business and rest at any time, or you can evacuate to a shelter. Go. Remember, personnel safety comes first."

"I understand, but I'm not willing to see the gangs so rampant." Doyle always hated the gangs. He said, "Nike, can't we do something?"

"There will be action. Either a commissioned task or our own action. In short, we will definitely not let the gang stay like this." Zhuang Xuteng made an action guarantee to Doyle and asked Doyle to ensure that the priority is always protection.

In the past few days, Zhuang Xuteng has been waiting for Nightingale and Yanque to complete the task assigned to him: analyze the information obtained from Yeyoushen Bar and find some gang targets that can be targeted. Since the two sisters were called away by Lucy and are currently providing information security for the security company's plan, they can only do this in their free time.

Collecting intelligence and analyzing intelligence are actually two types of work. The two sisters' main focus in the past was information spying and confidentiality. Although they have knowledge in intelligence analysis, they have little practical experience. Their original employer, Steyer, paid more attention to their appearance and obedience, and deliberately kept them away from intelligence analysis work in order to strengthen his control. Therefore, when receiving Zhuang Xuteng's instructions, both of them were a little worried. They were afraid that their analysis would be wrong, which might harm Naike and Ge Gongdao who were responsible for the actual operations.

"You two were here during the actual operation, and the danger is not just the two of us." Zhuang Xuteng used a joke to ease their tension, and said: "Well... don't look for the most difficult task, find something of medium difficulty first, as long as Just make money if you can. Don’t worry, if you can’t steal, you can still rob. As long as they don’t form a siege, can they beat Brother Dao and me?”

"I know, let's start with a relatively high goal. By the way, how is your recovery?"

"It's fine now. New flesh has grown, it's pink." Zhuang Xuteng said, "How are you two? Did Lucy squeeze you? Do you have recovery time? Do you need a head massage?"

"We want to go back every day and miss the pillows at home every day, but during the mission, the task takes priority. Don't worry, our side effects are okay. Lucy gave us the best soothing medicine and gave us enough rest time. Don't worry. ! We will contact you when we find a suitable target, so be prepared!"

Zhuang Xuteng really needs to be prepared, because the next action will not only involve him and Ge Gongdao, but also Morgana.

Morgana was called home because her parents no longer wanted her to stay in the broken PCPD. In fact, every parent will have the same thought when they see the tragedy of PCPD being blown up. Although working in the PCPD is to maintain social order and protect fairness and justice, the inefficiency and incompetence that the PCPD has been showing recently have made these goals meaningless. A person can't join the PCPD with ideals and then lose his life in vain, right?

Fortunately, Zhuang Xuteng had thought up an excuse for Morgana in advance, and she felt confident, so she became calmer and did not have another fierce quarrel with her parents, and the conflict was avoided. The two sides reached a consensus, and Morgana began to take a long vacation until the situation in Peicheng improved again. During this period, Morgana promised not to follow the PCPD, but to prepare a new house and fall in love.

At that moment, the family topic immediately changed from the useless PCPD to Morgana's love interest. Her parents first carefully determined what gender their daughter had found as a friend, and then inquired about "his" specific situation. Morgana, who was quite experienced in the detective position, used anti-interrogation and anti-detection techniques. She only revealed Zhuang Xuteng's gender and kept everything else secret, finally sending her parents away.

Morgana avoided leaving the PCPD by using the topic of her boyfriend to distract her parents. Zhuang Xuteng inexplicably became the target of diverting firepower, and it was not at all inexplicable that the other major part in the discussion: PCPD, fell into a state of being focused on.

The entire Peicheng's tolerance for the PCPD's incompetence has long been close to its limit, so after the PCPD was attacked, the sympathy for it was not as much as the complaints against it. "The PCPD brings the blame upon itself", "PCPD is weak and incompetent", "It's okay not to have such a PCPD"...

Except for the last idea, which is a bit too extreme and impossible to implement, the other statements are all correct. The issue of the PCPD is also being discussed within the Constitutional Government. Many people believe that if the PCPD cannot maintain even its most basic situation, it must be demolished and restarted, and capable people can be hired so that it can be worthy of the investment in rebuilding it. At this critical moment, Brewer, the current director of PCPD, an explosion survivor who lost half of his body, Pace, supported his injured body and came to the Constitutional Government Building in person to report on his work.

Outsiders have no way of knowing what was specifically discussed between him and the mayor, but everyone knows that Brewer Pace has retained his position as PCPD chief, and his power seems to have been strengthened. Based on the gossip information collected by the middleman intelligence network, Director Pace promised to launch special operations to suppress the situation forcefully and maintain the constitutional government's control over Peicheng. It is said that Pace promised to use the power of his connections to seek help from the four major companies and rebuild the PCPD as quickly as possible. And he also told the mayor seeking re-election: The success of the PCPD will be a very important achievement in the re-election campaign.

This was not good news for the middlemen-mercenaries who were preparing to establish an independent security company, so the news was quickly "inexplicably" spread to several gangs. Gangs have always been the ones solving social problems for companies. If the PCPD is willing to change from a dog of the constitutional government to a wolf of the company, then the gangs will change from watchdogs to shit, and this is by no means alarmist.

The gang has always disliked Pace and looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts. They just thought that he was not powerful and of no use, so sitting in the position of chief was a good result. Now that Pace seems to want to become stronger, the gang has two emotions: "Look down on him" and "He is really annoying" at the same time. "Let him die" is naturally put on the agenda.

And this is what the middlemen are happy to see.

In addition to Brewer Pace's efforts to win support from the constitutional government, intermediaries have also begun lobbying operations and components of security companies are working at full speed. It has registered the name "Moat Security Support Co., Ltd.", and the matching labor dispatch company, transportation and medical security company are also advancing simultaneously.

Since the focus of the PCPD and gangs has never been in the normal business field, they did not pay attention to these companies. In addition, the middleman has been releasing false news to the PCPD and gangs, pretending to be good while pretending to be cowardly, and successfully paralyzed them. By the time they received the news that the Constitutional Government was supporting the Moat Company, it was too late to stop it.

Of course, that's something to talk about later. Now the PCPD and the gang are fighting each other passionately, and Director Pace's "problem" has not been solved yet.

Director Pace, who forcibly left the hospital and returned to work, changed his old style and no longer made false and empty slogans. He became very pragmatic. He asked each branch and the agencies below to first ensure their own safety, unite neighbors, and firmly control neighboring neighborhoods. Only by accomplishing this first can we move forward and eliminate the influence of gangs bit by bit.

This policy immediately won the support of all lower-level agencies of the PCPD, and it also restored a little popularity for Director Pace. "It turns out he doesn't understand, he just pretends not to understand - maybe he has some reasons?"

Not many people believe in the "hardship theory". The thinking of the grassroots PCPD is very simple: respect the actual situation and develop slowly, and you can still make a comeback. What everyone fears most is that even though the situation is very bad, they still have to hold on and choose to clash head-on with gangs again and again, resulting in the last bit of inventory being wiped out. Now, Director Pace has acquiesced that the PCPD has lost everything and must start from scratch. He has kept his posture to a minimum, which has indeed given the people below who are actually working on the matter a chance to breathe.

After morale recovered slightly, Director Pace took the second step. He deployed personnel to establish a "special security inspection team" to launch special security operations in key areas-Shangcheng District and Taiping District. In the inspection team, one-third of the people are experienced and powerful backbones, and two-thirds are young and motivated newcomers. He dedicated an operational fund—perhaps even from his own pocket—to design special allowances to increase the income of the members of the patrol team. He also gave the best equipment to the inspection team, and first encouraged everyone to raise them by half a level, and then promised that if their results were good within a year, they would at least raise them to half a level.

It provided both money and a future, which immediately boosted the work enthusiasm of the inspection team. In fact, everyone below knows that the public security in Shangcheng District and Taiping District has always been good. Although gang members also have activities here, the intensity is extremely low. There are very few vicious cases such as robbery, murder, rape, and kidnapping. Most of them are just protection fees and gray industries.

The main reason for this situation is still several major companies. Most of their employees and some middle- and high-level personnel in Peicheng live in these two districts. It is impossible for gang members to recognize the employees of the company above them. If they accidentally offend important characters and pursue them from above through their connections, the scene will be ugly. Gangs will avoid collisions in these two areas. Fortunately, there are many rich people here and their spending power is relatively high. The gang's own gray industry is very prosperous, and the income from protection fees is also very high. There is really no need to engage in those more intense ones. matter.

They are here mainly to kill each other for profit. They neither affect the citizens nor hinder the PCPD. They can kill each other as they please. In these two cities, gang wars do not even make the news, and they try to choose more secretive ways to solve the problem, also in order not to upset the important people above them.

Other urban areas do not have a sufficient number of wealthy people, so they cannot enjoy the tranquility of these two urban areas. And because the fighting in other urban areas has become increasingly fierce, these two urban areas have become more peaceful. Originally, each gang stationed the most "reasonable" people in these two districts, and they were more able to assess the situation: If there were no serious cases in Shangcheng District and Taiping District, then there would not be extremely sharp conflicts between the gangs and the PCPD. The main problem still lies in the relationship between the gangs. distribution of benefits among the gangs; the one that is weakening now is the PCPD, not the rival gangs. The PCPD must be grabbed first to increase additional income, rather than the gangs fighting each other for consumption.

Besides, we can't kill the PCPD in these two urban areas, not to mention that Director Pace has strengthened his patrol power in these two urban areas.

The security situation in Shangcheng District and Taiping District has become better than before, and the security situation of the neighbors of PCPD police stations can also maintain the previous level, so the people who suffer are the ordinary citizens in the areas in between. Originally I didn’t see PCPD patrol officers several times a day, but now it’s good that I can see one PCPD before the end of next month. It’s probably still a fake... Everyone must learn to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions to avoid being ganged up on. attack, or be involved in an attack. At the same time, they must pretend to be deaf and mute, turn a blind eye and not hear, and be the surviving ostriches with their heads buried in the sand. They must not be killed first because they want to be the first bird.

In order to better support the land grabbing work in other urban areas, various gangs secretly mobilized their forces to provide support from Shangcheng and Taiping District. The middleman's intelligence network noticed this change, and the information was also keenly captured by Nightingale and Rock Bird. They combined the intranet information of Yeyoushen Bar and quickly selected a suitable target: a financial services company located in Shangcheng District, which had long been responsible for laundering money and selling stolen goods for gangs, and it was very profitable.

Zhuang Xuteng immediately began to investigate the area, assess the security situation here, and design an action plan. It was at this time that Director Pace was attacked again. While he was visiting police officers who were injured in the explosion, he was shot four times by a killer disguised as a hospital staff member and fell again.
