Chapter 17 Give a Gift
Chapter 17 Give a gift...
After returning home, he threw the smelly uniform into the washing machine and put in three times more detergent than usual.
Then he walked into the bathroom, turned on the bathroom heater, and put hot water in the bathtub.
After a while, the steam filled the entire bathroom.
Before this, Song Lan had no habit of taking a bath. He has always been a firm shower party, and he takes quick actions. He never takes a bath for more than ten minutes every day.
However, today he suddenly found that taking a bath seems to have its own unique charm.
Immersed in the warm water, the mist obscured his vision. He leaned his neck against the edge of the pool and looked at the white ceiling. His restlessness calmed down a little.
His stable work and rest schedule was disrupted.
He was blocked at home by an unknown killer, and a mysterious and huge force was brewing a conspiracy against his girlfriend.
Song Lan couldn't help but sigh that others took advantage of their girlfriends' absence to find some fun for themselves, but he was forced to kill a professional killer.
After calming down and sorting out his chaotic thoughts, he also had to make plans for his future life.
It is not easy to find someone to take the blame. Although Mr. Killer did not have time to announce his name until his death, the mysterious organization gave him full authority to handle the aftermath, which shows that he is definitely not an ordinary person.
It is obviously untenable for such a ruthless character to be accidentally killed by a mohawk-headed gangster while walking at night.
So, the first step to find someone to take the blame is to know how strong Mr. Killer is.
Only after figuring this out can we try to arrange an equally matched opponent for him, so that he can die in a fierce battle.
However, this first step stuck Song Lan.
Because the situation in the living room was more complicated at the time, in order to avoid disturbing the rest of the neighbor next door, he had to kill the other party with great pain, leaving Mr. Killer no chance to show his ability, causing the other party's combat effectiveness to become an eternal mystery.
He could only vaguely guess that Mr. Killer should be stronger than Chai Ke.
Chai Ke died on the spot, while Mr. Killer was still conscious four minutes after being pierced through the chest. From this, it can be inferred that if his strength is converted into a bounty, it must be at least higher than 620,000 Watts. As for how much higher it is, it is unknown.
In other words, the bounty of this good brother who helped him take the blame must be higher than Chai Ke.
So the question is, how much is it worth if he persisted for four minutes after being pierced through the chest?
Song Lan thought about it and felt that it was not easy to ask this question online.
Fortunately, he worked in the law enforcement compound, and many colleagues in the compound should know about this.
Originally, asking Lu Xiang directly would have the best effect, but his girlfriend not only knows a lot, but the key is that she is also smart, and her reasoning ability is second to none among the law enforcement officers. If he suddenly went against his usual behavior and asked this and that, he might be caught by Lu Xiang on the spot before he found his good brother to help take the blame.
Thinking of this, Song Lan finally had a plan in his mind.
He turned on the water, got out of the bath, put on a bathrobe, and then blew his hair dry.
He was not sleepy tonight, so he could use the whole night.
He went to the kitchen, filled the pot with water, lit the fire, put the marinade bag into the water, opened the refrigerator, and took out the beef shank he bought the day before yesterday.
It takes a lot of time to process beef shank. He originally planned to save it for Lu Xiang to have a treat on the weekend, but he didn't expect that the shank would have to be ordered to take on the responsibility of being a gift tomorrow.
After all, it is unreasonable to ask someone for information without bringing something in hand.
Song Lan had to admire his parents' foresight again. Facts have proved that in 2166, being able to cook can not only find a girlfriend, but also solve the problem of giving gifts in the workplace.
If you gave braised beef to someone in 2020 when you asked them to do something for you, they would probably think you were making fun of them. But in 2166, especially in District 17 where no restaurant could stay open for more than a month, snacks became a rare gift. The homemade dried fruits he had given out before were well received by his colleagues in the department.
And his target this time was the Statistics Department.
The scope of work of the Statistics Department was quite broad. Almost all paper and electronic documents in the law enforcement department needed to go through their hands, including the issuance of bounty orders. Many local criminals’ bounties were set by the Statistics Department.
After a busy night, he not only braised the beef shank, but also packed the cut part into an exquisite gift bag.
When the sky outside the window was white, Song Lan had already gone downstairs with the gift bag.
Not long after, he rode his bike into the compound and said hello to the guard.
Today, the Law Enforcement Compound is very deserted. In order to prevent the last survivor of the Chai Ke case from being assassinated, the Special Operations Department and all the practical departments went to the hospital, leaving only civilian staff in the compound.
Half an hour before work, Song Lan has already arrived at the gate of the Statistics Department upstairs with a gift bag.
There are only a few people in the huge office area. Those who came early have already started working. Every time Song Lan comes here, he can't help but feel ashamed of their lazy style.
After feeling ashamed, of course, he will go back to continue studying the spiritual connotation of the rescuer.
Their section chief often says that work is important, but it is equally important to enrich oneself with theoretical studies. By delving into the spiritual connotation of rescuers, it can help them establish correct values and escape from low-level tastes.
It's hard to imagine how the section chief managed to increase the salary of his section by 500 watts through this impassioned speech.
Not long after Song Lan stood at the door of the office area, a sharp gaze fell on him.
It was a girl with long, silky black hair. When she saw Song Lan, her slightly tired eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and a bunch of hair stood up on top of her head like an antenna.
She did not call Song Lan's name immediately, but took off her glasses, closed the files on the desktop one by one, and then walked towards Song Lan calmly.
The high heels are walking like wind, and the sound of footsteps is almost inaudible.
She glanced at the gift bag that Song Lan was holding lightly, and then walked straight into the corridor. But when she passed Song Lan, she said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Shh, don't make any noise, follow me." Come."
Immediately afterwards, the black-haired girl disappeared behind the door without leaving Song Lan any chance to respond.
…
?
Song Lan was a little flustered by the other party.
What's happening here?
He was just here to inquire about things, so why did the scene look like a trade in illegal drugs?
