[future] conspiracy

On September 9th, autumn is getting stronger.

Bai Chuan stood in the reception hall of LMPB, wandering around with a little anxiety, wanting to see something that would give him a sense of security.

The staff in the hall came over and said to him with a smile: "Sir, your application has been submitted to the group jury, and the result will be available in about half an hour. Please don't worry. There are still many vacancies in the hall, please You sit down and take a break, and when the radio calls your number, you'll know the result."

Bai Chuan nodded, but he didn't relax, and his cold face didn't change because of the staff's smile.He found a corner seat and sat down, involuntarily stuffing himself into the chair, hiding in the crowd, reducing his sense of presence.

Around him sat D-class citizens like him, anxiously watching the people waiting in the hall.

Generally speaking, those who submit murder applications are citizens below A-level. Of course, because E-level hidden persons are illegal citizens without official IDs, and F-level criminals are citizens deprived of all rights, the people who actually submit murder applications are mainly Concentrated among B, C, D three-level citizens.They enjoy fewer rights, fewer benefits, and undertake the most ordinary but hard work.Their growth was full of class injustice and various hardships, and they always wanted to take this opportunity to vent.

The S-level sovereigns are the absolute powerful people in this country. They have the supreme power and at the same time bear the most solemn and solemn responsibilities.Therefore, S-level military and financial families rarely submit legal murder applications, and they are hardly seen in the hall.According to the official spokesperson of the LMPB, since the "Murder Act" was promulgated 235 years ago, there have only been four cases of S-level powers submitting applications, and in the past 50 years, there has not been a fifth case of powers applying for legal murder in China.

This incident was once passed on as a good story, and the media praised the self-control and tolerance of the S-level supremacy.

However, many people speculate that this is just because they don't need it, because the S-level supremacy can hide all killings and become a stepping stone in a dark corner without any legal sanctions-because the LMPB may not even know that they killed How many people were killed.

The reception hall was very noisy, and everyone was asking each other about the reasons for the application. Anyone who stood up could tell a tragic story of a rough life, but some people purely for the sake of making trouble, talking about some absurd reasons and some wild ideas of murder.

God knows why the other party just accidentally stepped on your foot on the road, so you have to use a machete to chop the other party into pieces?

Bai Chuan was a little impatient, he really didn't like this kind of behavior of flaunting the tragic past and absurd ideas as capital, it seemed childish and boring.He twisted his fingers together involuntarily, and the slender fingers had a pale but fragile beauty under the light.

The man next to him glanced sideways at him, and was quickly attracted by his outstanding appearance.

He has a handsome and indifferent face, with slanted eyebrows and slightly raised eye ends, which seems to be smiling, but the ice blue pupils have a kind of sinister alienation.The bridge of his nose is narrow and straight, his lips are thin and tightly pressed together, and his lower jaw is slightly drawn, making him look tense and serious.A man can guess his serious and dull personality from the shirt that is tied to the first button of the neckline and his meticulous hairstyle. He can also guess that he has a relatively good workplace from the arrogance revealed in his sitting posture and eyes. status, so I couldn't help wondering why such a person would come to LMPB?Who does he want to kill?

Bai Chuan ignored his gaze and kept staring at the number changes on the big screen.

At the same time, the seven group jury voting halls on the fifth floor of the LMPB were very busy.

These are the last two review procedures of the legal murder application review. Due to the large number of participants and the cumbersome procedures, the progress is slow. All the members participating in the review are very irritable. The staff have to prepare a whole pot of Qingxin tea for each person. Central air-conditioning The temperature of the room is adjusted to the most suitable temperature. If playing music does not disturb everyone's concentration, the hall will definitely turn on the loop singing mode.

There was a circle of tables in Hall 4, and the presiding officer, the clerk, and 30 members of the public jury sat down around the table. In front of each of them was a thick stack of application materials, their respective name tags, Qingxin tea, Pens, paper towels, etc.They work from 8:8 am to [-]:[-] pm.Although it is tiring and the working hours are long, but due to the considerable remuneration offered by the LMPB, everyone is still willing to be selected as a member of the public jury to participate in the murder application review.

Of course, none of these people included Cheng Rui.In fact, if it wasn’t for the law that every legal citizen over the age of 30 must participate in the LMPB’s public jury work, when he received the LMPB’s email invitation last night, he would have thrown that email into the trash without hesitation box.

At that time, he was watching a very popular classical opera with a group of friends at the magnificent National Center for the Performing Arts, and he received such an e-mail before he left the gate of the theater.If it wasn't for the gold urgent sign on the LMPB email, he wouldn't have opened it so easily.

After seeing the content of the email, he immediately frowned, and his friend laughed and asked him: "This is the first time you have been invited by the LMPB's public judging panel? That's right, you are already 30 years old, and the law has recognized you It’s normal to invite you because of your independent thinking ability and judgment of right and wrong.”

Seeing that his face was still unhappy, the friend comforted him: "Okay, don't be so angry, maybe something interesting will happen?"

Cheng Rui pouted impatiently: "What interesting things can happen in that kind of place?"

Sure enough, he had already tried the murder application for nearly nine hours, and nothing happened to stop his irritability except for his nearly broken neck and the useless Qingxin tea.

As the only S-level member in the group jury, the other members were not close to him, never took the initiative to talk to him, but always observed his expression and behavior involuntarily—this made Cheng Rui even more upset.

The presiding officer was used to strong winds and waves, so he calmly picked up the next application form, and read unhurriedly: "Application Form No. 529, applicant Bai Chuan, please take a look at the application form in your hand."

Everyone pulled out application form No. 529 from the table. In order to simplify the review process, they only had one application form and one review comment form in their hands.Of course, because everyone present had signed a non-disclosure agreement, the applicant's name was not deliberately hidden.Cheng Rui looked at the second page, and sure enough, the previous review departments had already stamped it, indicating that the other party's application materials had been verified to be correct, leaving only the review comments and the chief examiner's comments.

He turned back to the first page and saw the eye-catching one-inch photo on the application form.

He was a gentle and serious young man, with a handsome face, but his eyes were steady, and his lips were drawn into a line, giving off a calm but gloomy feeling.

The presiding judge was still reading slowly: "Reason for application: The other party's malicious jokes have caused a serious psychological shadow on me, causing me to suffer from severe mental pressure from the age of 12 to 28, and I am still unable to have normal emotional relationships with others. Further communication. Since the class difference between myself and the other party is too great, and I forgot to keep the evidence when I was young, I cannot get the other party to be sanctioned through normal procedures, so I hereby file an application for legal murder..."

After reading this, the chief interrogator let out a flat sigh, and said, "It's another childhood shadow. Let me look at the information..."

He flipped through the several pages of materials submitted by the parties, and after browsing through them, he explained to the group jury: "It's an incident of malicious ridicule."

As soon as this remark came out, all the members of the jury showed disgusted expressions and said angrily: "How dare you treat a child like this!"

"This kind of scum must be severely punished!"

"It's abominable!"

"agree!"

"Why does this horrible thing keep happening?"

So they didn't even read it carefully, they just turned to the second page and wrote their agreement in the opinion of the group jury.Signed his name.

Soon, the clerk began to count the votes: "If you choose to agree, please raise your hand to confirm again."

All 29 people raised their hands and passed the voting form to the clerk. After a few seconds, everyone focused on Cheng Rui who was the only one who did not raise his hand to vote or pass the voting form.

The clerk looked at the time and had to remind him: "Mr. Cheng Rui, do you agree or reject your opinion?"

Cheng Rui?Everyone thinks the name is a bit familiar...

A B-rank officer said blankly: "The murder target in the application form just now seems to be called...Cheng Rui..."

The clerk and the presiding officer took a look at the application form in their hands, and it was true.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not expecting such a coincidence in the world.They secretly felt sorry for Bai Chuan, thinking that his application might be rejected this time.According to the Murder Act, as long as one member of the jury votes against, the application for legal murder will be dismissed.

Everyone's eyes focused on Cheng Rui's face again, and they were all guessing what terrible things he had said to the 12-year-old boy, and even speculating whether he had caused realistic pressure on the other party with his absolute power and privilege of S rank.

But the murdered target, Cheng Rui, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled with great interest on his face.

He didn't have the slightest impression of this person named Bai Chuan, let alone the taunting incident mentioned in his application form, but he suddenly looked forward to how the other party would carry out a perfect murder on him.

He turned to the second page again, and the column on the method of murder had also been stamped, indicating that the murder plan formulated by the other party was very feasible.The smile at the corner of his mouth deepened, a D-class civilian wanted to murder a S-class supreme authority, and the plan listed was affirmed by the LMPB, it was amazing.He couldn't wait to know how the other party was going to murder him.

So with a happy smile, he wrote his approval on his review form.

When the clerk got his form, he was stunned.He paused for a few seconds before stammering under Cheng Rui's urging eyes: "The No.... No. 529 murder application was approved by the jury with 30 votes unanimously."

He uncovered the Chengrui form on the top, folded all the voting forms, and made an electronic copy. Soon, 30 pages of signed and agreed voting forms were collectively and invisiblely signed on the top form.The clerk stamped the unanimous approval on the blank space and handed it over to the presiding officer: "Presiding officer, do you see?"

The chief judge was the last checkpoint. He frowned and looked at the contents of the form. He secretly compared the complete information he had just read, feeling a little hesitant in his heart.The reason for the murder described by the party, Shirakawa, happened too long ago. The investigator wrote down a 5% possibility of falsehood in the summary of the questionnaire, but he still signed the agreement.The murder plan proposed by Bai Chuan is very feasible. If he succeeds, he may legally murder an S-level supreme authority. This is not unheard of in LMPB, but every time it will cause huge social impact.However, most of the leapfrog murders ended in failure. The excellence of S-levels is not only reflected in their power and status, but also in their superior genes and keen insight than ordinary people.

To be honest, he was more worried about Bai Chuan than the confident and strong Cheng Rui.

Cheng Rui does not seem to be an easy person to deal with. If Bai Chuan's murder fails, Cheng Rui will not let him go easily.

He raised his head and glanced at the S-rank youth sitting not far away with a calm demeanor. He had a relaxed posture and a stern face, but his dark pupils were full of interest, which made one's bones chill.

He hesitated for a moment, but still stamped the seal of consent.

The clerk took it, coughed twice, and finally returned to the normal stereotyped tone: "The No. 529 murder application is all approved, and the LMPB agrees to implement it. The other party's plan for the murder is one week, and the murdered person will receive the LMPB's notice within two hours." Murder forecast."

Seeing that Cheng Rui had nothing to say, the presiding officer picked up the next application: "Now let's look at application No. 530..."
