Did the world end today?

Chapter 28 More money is needed!

Chapter 28 More money is needed!
Lin Xu was going to the police station, of course, to find more detailed information about Xu Jin.

He wanted to know how Xu Jin got involved with the "Planetary Reincarnation" organization and what major things he had done.

If possible, it would be best to find out where he is currently being held or whether he has already been executed.

This way, I can have something to refer to when making plans later.
The distance from the Tianqiong Science and Technology Park on the outskirts of the city to the city center of Jinling is a full 40 kilometers. However, thanks to the well-developed rapid transit system and the light traffic at night, it only took Lin Xu 20 minutes to arrive in the city center in the skull-patterned car.

This was his first time in the city center since entering the world of the smart bracelet.

At first glance, the city seems to be no different from what it was 20 years ago.

But if you look closely, you'll find that the world has really changed a lot.

Giant billboards and neon lights have been completely replaced by holographic projections. Holographic lotus lanterns float on the surface of the Qinhuai River, and the faint sound of Suzhou storytelling can be heard from the banks.

The Xinjiekou circular overpass has evolved into a three-dimensional transportation hub, with numerous newly built maglev light rail lines weaving through the city like giant pythons.

The city was bustling and vibrant, but the area around Yuhuatai became the only area subject to a mandatory power outage.

The monument stands tall, becoming the only landmark in the city that has remained unchanged.

Lin Xu looked curiously out the car window, and seeing his expression, the skull completely relaxed.

It seems there won't be any action tonight.

But, go to the police station?

What does this mean?
"So what exactly are you going to the police station for?"

"Go find someone's information."

Lin Xu answered casually, his eyes fixed on the giant advertisement for smart bracelets outside the window.

"Find someone?"

The skull paused for a moment.

"If you were looking for someone, why didn't you tell us beforehand?"

"Although our information may not be as detailed as that of official institutions, its accuracy is not bad."

"If you had contacted us in advance..."

"The key is that I only just figured it out myself; before that, I didn't even know I needed to find him."

".Too."

The skull scratched its head.

"Why don't you wait a little longer? Give this job to me, and I'll give you a discount?"

"It won't take too long, give me two days, that'll be enough!"

"Brother, how desperate for money are you that you're always trying to sell things at every opportunity?"

Lin Xu looked at the skull with suspicion, and the skull smiled somewhat awkwardly, replying:

"The business world is like a battlefield. But then again, you won't find the information you're looking for even if you go to the police station!"

"Who do you think you are? You think you can just ask them to investigate you whenever you want?"

"What, are you going to call the police?"

"Just like you said, the end of the world is coming, you want to steal a rocket to escape, and then have them give you the information you need?"

"Won't they lock me up like I'm crazy?"

I'd like to do that.

Lin Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

To be honest, even if I haven't obtained enough evidence in the real world and have some concerns, so I can't make a quick decision on whether or not to cooperate with the official channels, I can still try to do so in the world of fitness trackers.

For example, the information about "Mars" given by the interrogator from the Coast Guard was very valuable.

But the key point is that one hour is far too short a time.

Even if you can provide evidence to prove its authenticity, the other party still needs time to verify and confirm it.

Going through this whole process will definitely take more than an hour.

This is not a matter of efficiency, but an unchangeable objective law.

Because bottom-up information transmission takes time, as long as the final decision-maker is still a person, he will inevitably consume the allotted decision-making time.

Therefore, this plan is actually not feasible.

The only way is to go to the police station.

They accessed their internal system to find Xu Jin's information.

But you can't just shoot it in directly.

The mercenary squad under his command was only good enough to take on civilian aerospace bases or private security personnel at chemical fiber factories.

But are you suggesting a direct confrontation with the authorities?

Yes, it's enough for a small police station, but what about next?
They weren't greeted by the police, but directly by the army.

The skull isn't stupid, and he doesn't have the chance to start over, so there's absolutely no way he would agree to such a plan.

Therefore, what Lin Xu wanted to do was very simple.

Infiltrate, kidnap someone, bring them out, use their access privileges to find Xu Jin's information, and then quickly evacuate!
Thinking of this, Lin Xu spoke up:
"It's no use. Even if they were willing to believe what I said, there wouldn't be enough time to go through the procedures."

"What are you going to do?"

The skull asked, puzzled:
"Should I just ask directly?"

Lin Xu shook his head again.

"You won't get results by just asking." "If I want information that I can get by simply asking, why don't I just go to the store next door and buy a computer to search on Baidu?"

"So, our mission this time is very simple."

“Grab someone out, take him with you, and then get him to give me information.”

"I have 32 minutes left."

"Can you make it?"

"Arrest someone?!"

The skull stared in disbelief.

"Aren't we brothers? Is whether we'll make it in time the point?"

"The police station is for arresting people, you're going to go to the police station to arrest people?!"

"What, are you trying to break me out of prison?"

"No."

Lin Xu quickly waved his hand.

The skull breathed a sigh of relief.

"I want to arrest a policeman."

"."

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

The skull is gritting its teeth.

"Arrest a cop? You make it sound so casual?"

"Do you know what this means? This is a direct confrontation with official institutions!"

"If you want to seize the space base, that's one thing, but at least it's a private company. No matter how outrageous we are there, it's still an internal conflict among the people, at most punishable by death, not by joint liability."

"Now tell me, are you going to go to the police station to rob someone, or to rob the police?!"

"What does this mean? This is defying state authorities!"

"Don't even mention the punishment of relatives; in ancient times, that would mean the extermination of nine generations of one's family!"

"You seem to understand the national situation quite well."

Lin Xu said with a slightly teasing tone.

"Brother, what time is it? You're still in the mood for jokes?"

The muscles on the skull's face were contorted.

He probably didn't realize that he had only taken on a project that seemed to offer great financial rewards but also carried some risks, and that in the end, he would have to target government agencies.

Across from him, Lin Xu shook his head.

"Don't worry, this is also an internal contradiction among the people."

“I have a grudge against one of the police officers inside, and I want to arrest him to get revenge.”

Do you think I believe that?

The skull looked at Lin Xu with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

Lin Xuyi shrugged.

"Just tell me if it's possible or not!"

"It can be done!"

The skull gritted its teeth.

"I know what you want. All you want is population information data that exists in the police department's database."

"Indeed, this kind of data is no longer available for sale even on the dark web; only police departments and relevant official agencies can obtain it."

"But we don't necessarily have to kidnap them."

"Taking action against specific targets is different from taking action against government officials."

"How about this, I'll get their information terminal for you, find the information, and then give it to you."

"The result will be the same, is that okay?"

"can!"

Lin Xu nodded decisively.

Professional tasks should be left to professionals.

All they know is how to resort to kidnapping and threats, while others have gone a step further.

Upon receiving Lin Xu's reply, the skull finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's do it."

"Since you say time is running out, let's act immediately."

"But there is one last question."
