Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Go find it, I’ve hidden everything there_1
After an in-depth discussion, a vivid yet unknown figure called "Civic-Minded Citizen" gradually took shape in everyone’s eyes.
The Section Chief believed that the "Civic-Minded Citizen" was someone with thick, black hair who never had to worry about going bald.
Roger thought the greatest hobby of the "Civic-Minded Citizen" was participating in the boxing matches held by various underground gyms in Sector Seventeen. He’d been appearing before people as a boxer for quite some time.
Valerian felt the "Civic-Minded Citizen" was a heavy drinker capable of consuming three bottles of the Water of Life while remaining sober, a record he had set himself.
Song Lan felt that these three should just pack up and leave.
Based on the settings proposed by the three of them, he imagined a person with thick hair who always ended up drinking heavily after boxing matches.
What a mess!
Apart from the thick hair, none of the other characteristics matched well.
"Listen up. The reason you have these impressions is that you haven’t immersed yourselves among the masses."
Song Lan interrupted the three’s imagination of the "Civic-Minded Citizen." Being the chief of the Psychological Counseling Department, he felt it necessary to interject.
After all, this was their department’s established motto.
He could probably understand Section Chief Snick’s intention - the recent surge of individual justice fueled by explosive news was not necessarily a good thing for law enforcement in Sector Seventeen. Even he, as a "role model," could not achieve the state of "a heart clear as a mirror," as written in books, so justice from this perspective would inevitably be limited.
For this reason, he never planned to continue as the "Civic-Minded Citizen," but was thinking about when he and Mr. Killer could truly clock off from work.
If this trend were allowed to continue unchecked, it would eventually lead to complete chaos.
It might even lead to situations where you’d get beaten up by radical "Civic-Minded Citizen" followers for accidentally stepping on the lawn. After all, for some "private law enforcers" with limited capabilities, it’s much easier to deal with weaker individuals than fully armed criminals.
So Song Lan’s advice was, if a crime was committed, please contact the law enforcers of Sector Seventeen immediately.
The phone number is: xxx-xxxxxx.
As a part of the law enforcement department, promoting prevention against future chaos is necessary, and in this regard, the "Civic-Minded Citizen" who has gained countless followers due to recent news is indeed the best point of entry for this purpose.
"The point isn’t who we think ’Civic-Minded Citizen’ is, but who people hope he is."
Song Lan said.
It was obvious that having thick hair, being a strong drinker, and being an underground boxer were the expectations of the three chiefs, but these were far from what the public envisioned.
"There’s a reason why they follow ’Civic-Minded Citizen.’"
Upon hearing this, Roger gave up his notion of the underground boxer and said somberly, "Because he overthrew the Foster Family’s reign over Sector Seventeen, accomplishing something many people had dreamed of but failed to achieve."
Roger understood that living in such a city, perhaps everyone had the impulse to fight back when faced with crime. He had once been one of them, but due to limitations, he’d even found it difficult to stand up against crime.
But the appearance of the "Civic-Minded Citizen" somewhat fulfilled the citizens’ fantasies of another "braver self."
No matter how outraged they were online, they had to face the reality of long and hard work the next day. Only the "Civic-Minded Citizen" could temporarily disassociate them from their monotonous life and offer a glimpse of a different life trajectory.
As a long-time psychology researcher, Roger naturally understood why people had taken to "Civic-Minded Citizen."
His previous praise for Angel Foster was also due to this psychology.
"Exactly."
Song Lan nodded repeatedly. Indeed, the man dubbed a Negotiating Expert had unmatched expertise. It was also a coincidence that he’d heard he’d had several hours of psychological consultation before Lyon’s mayor decided to expose the Foster Family’s crimes to the media.
This psychological consultation somewhat had changed the future of Sector Seventeen.
"So, if our goal is to guide the citizens of Sector Seventeen, it doesn’t matter how we think of the ’Civic-Minded Citizen’ or what kind of person he really is. We need to present people with a figure which is both appealing to them and fits with their idea of the ’Civic-Minded Citizen.’"
"Song Lan, it is indeed a great decision to seek your advice!"
The Section Chief was overjoyed.
In the past, Song Lan alone represented more than 60% of the Administrative Department’s strength, and once again, he provided insightful suggestions for this critical task.
The Section Chief asked, "But how exactly do we shape such an image?"
"Of course, we need to carry out extensive surveys. If we only sit in the office, we’ll never truly understand the citizens’ thoughts."
Song Lan folded his arms and said gravely, "What we actually need is a comprehensive figure, which means we must understand what all the various classes in Sector Seventeen think of the ’Civic-Minded Citizen,’ whether they are office workers, wanderers, businessmen, or gold diggers... We need to consider the majority’s perceptions if we want to create this character."
As he said this, his voice suddenly heightened. He fixed his gaze, raised an arm, and declared, "Let’s go find everything about the ’Civic-Minded Citizen.’ It’s all hidden in every street and alley of this city."
For some unknown reason, a surge of enthusiasm welled up in everyone’s hearts.
At that moment, they felt like soldiers about to step onto a battlefield.
"Chief, what about you? (Penguin flag waving emoji)"
Valerian excitedly displayed this message on her tablet.
"Someone has to hold the fort."
Song Lan said resolutely.
Their eyes met. In the quiet afternoon, within this not-so-spacious office, they felt as if they were witnessing a turning point of an era.
The Song Lan, sitting in front of the office desk, was the most trustworthy person in the wave of this new era.
"Chief, since you’ve said so."
Roger smiled faintly, was the first to head out the door.
The Administrative Section Chief and Valerian were also inspired by Roger. They followed him out and started off in three different directions.
At this moment, words weren’t necessary.
Without looking back, they raised their right hands - a silent pact between them.
Seeing them, a gratified smile finally surfaced on Song Lan’s face.
Go ahead then.
I’ll hold the office until you return.
