"How could this happen?"
Minister Shen strode into another office.
At this time, his face was livid. While he was busy taking care of the security matters for the Sea Nation expert team's visit, there was suddenly another urgent matter waiting for him to handle. This was a very rare thing, but the more it happened, the more urgent it was.
This office was obviously improvised.
But there are more LCD screens hanging on the wall than at the Qinggang City East Gate Steel Suspension Bridge.
Above, there are dense scenes. Some of them are armed personnel wearing protective suits blocking a building. Some are scenes of arrested people struggling and shouting in fear. There are also scenes of arrested people crying in interrogation rooms.
Such pictures are arranged together, which makes people feel an extremely depressed feeling psychologically.
"It's Colonel Chen from the Special Purity Department..."
The staff who had been waiting in this room immediately reported, "She has issued arrest orders to nearly a hundred Main City citizens in just one hour, and has blocked three buildings, two shopping malls, and one Administrative Hall..."
At this point, he couldn't help but pause, swallowed, and then said, "And this is not over yet."
"Now, the armed personnel that Special Purity Department can directly mobilize, as well as the Guard Department police officers who are ordered to cooperate with their actions, have received orders from the Special Purity Department and have joined in the arrest, interrogation, detention and isolation of targets. There is a serious shortage of manpower."
"Now, she has submitted a report on this abnormal incident to the above and requested support from the City Defense Department."
"..."
"So many people were arrested..."
Minister Shen, who had a fiery temperament, surprisingly suppressed his temper at this time, and said, "What's the reason?"
"The emergency report she submitted was about abnormal contamination of unknown origin."
The staff member placed a report on the top of the document in her hand so that Minister Shen could take it and read it at any time, but she reported quickly and completely, "All the people she is arresting now are suspected of being contaminated by some kind of abnormality."
Minister Shen looked deep and took the document.
The staff continued to report, "This incident has been sent to Mr. Su and the highest Administrative Hall at the same time."
"But the problem we are facing now is that because the incident happened suddenly, and many of those arrested are family members of administrative officials or people from major corporate groups in the city, Special Purity Department still has no way to give them an explanation."
"Now, these people have felt scared and have complained through various channels and asked for their release."
"Administrative Hall's phone number is almost being called, and people have gathered in front of the Guard Department's door to demand his release."
"If not dealt with promptly, it could have dire consequences."
"..."
"Shut them up."
Minister Shen answered extremely resolutely, "No matter who is contaminated, they will be arrested!"
"Yes..."
The staff swallowed and said, "But the problem is that we... can't prove that they were contaminated."
"Huh?"
Minister Shen raised his head sharply and his eyes fell on his face.
"Team... Team leader, too many people have been arrested..."
Qinggang Main City, on the busiest avenue in the heart of the city, had already rushed over. Chen Jing, who had joined Lu Xin, was clutching the walkie-talkie tightly, silently looking at several arrest scenes that had caused panic in front of him, his brows furrowed together.
Beside her, a fully armed soldier was a little worried. "If we continue to arrest, we have exceeded our authority."
Chen Jing had no expression on his face, he just looked at the car in front of him.
In that car, Lu Xin was sitting quietly in the passenger seat, pointing out all the people he saw.
This could no longer be conveyed by Chen Jing herself, so she directly arranged for a Information Analysis Team to record it on her behalf.
Anyone pointed out by him will be arrested immediately.
This was originally a very reasonable work arrangement, but no one thought that there would be so many people to arrest...
Faced with the worries of his subordinates, Chen Jing also clearly realized the focus of the problem.
She turned around and asked in a low voice, "What are the results of the interrogation of these captured anomalies?"
"No results..."
The armed personnel under his command said, "All the arrested people have been subjected to expedited testing and interrogation. However, it was found that none of them could see any abnormality. No matter whether it was psychological or mental strength testing, there was no fluctuation beyond the normal value. In other words, all the people we have arrested now are ordinary people. And this is where we feel worried..."
"Main City is different from Satellite City. Whether we are arresting or questioning, we need at least a reason."
"Now more and more people are questioning why we arrest people."
"Even Administrative Hall can hardly bear the pressure!"
"..."
"Can't find anything unusual..."
Chen Jing was silent for a while and didn't say much.
She was aware of the problem from the beginning.
Including the previous arrest of Xiao Yuan's stepmother Lu Weiwei, this sign has been discovered. There is nothing abnormal about Lu Weiwei, and even the watchdog who is best at distinguishing this area cannot detect it. However, Lu Xin can see that she is abnormal, and after the arrest, after interrogation, it was indeed discovered that Lu Weiwei had been in contact with the "mysterious Wish Event" who was suspected to be related to the pollution incident.
But after all, there is only one person in Lu Weiwei, and he is the person who has just obtained the qualification to move into Main City.
Now, they are facing nearly a hundred people who have been arrested, and there are still many people who have not been successfully arrested.
In just two hours, Wish Event has become a chaos that can affect the entire Main City.
And until then, she had not found evidence.
"What results were obtained from the interrogation on whether they had contact with Wish Event?"
Chen Jing asked questions quickly and calmly.
"A few came out during the interrogation and admitted that they had indeed come into contact with similar Wish Event."
The subordinate reported, "But more people deny it, and we don't have enough manpower or equipment to verify their authenticity one by one. Even now, there are still a large number of people who have not had time to interrogate. Just relying on the previous investigation report on the mysterious Wish Event and several existing interrogation reports, it is difficult to convince Administrative Hall and City Defense Department that they can cooperate with our work..."
"Firstly, most of the people I, Special Purity Department, can mobilize are now in Donghai Hotel, responsible for the security work of senior personnel training conferences. Secondly, we can no longer arrest them. We have already affected the operation of Main City. If we continue to arrest..."
He was silent for a moment and then said, "It may make others think that we have different intentions."
"..."
Chen Jing fell silent and said slowly, "What did City Defense Department say?"
"No answer has been given."
"I understand."
Chen Jing nodded slightly, and then walked towards the stopped car in front.
"Why don't you continue arresting me?"
At this time, Lu Xin was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the busy street ahead.
He saw more and more people with weird bodies.
It felt like I had entered a terrifying paradise. The streets were filled with all kinds of monsters. Although there were many people around me, they were pitifully small compared to the huge number of monsters, and I couldn't shake them at all.
Particularly, as this feeling of confusion grew, he realized that the car had stopped.
So, he stopped carefully pointing out those people one by one.
"Single soldier, how many anomalies are there yet to be captured?"
The figure of Chen Jing appeared outside the co-pilot, looking at Lu Xin calmly.
"There are many more. The guy in front who is filming the arrest scene with a digital camera is one of them."
Lu Xin answered honestly, explaining as clearly as possible, "Moreover, as we entered the center of the city, the more people we met, the more and more people I saw with abnormalities. Even in front of what I see now, there are more than a dozen people who obviously have such problems. This is the first time that an abnormality has appeared in front of me. So many people, so close, but just looking at him..."
Chen Jing was silent for a moment and said, "Besides seeing it, do you have any other proof?"
Lu Xin shook his head. "No."
Chen Jing frowned slightly and said, "If you just see it, it will be difficult to convince others. We have arrested a lot of people now, and no abnormality has been found in them no matter what kind of detection method is used. So, now I want to confirm with you, how sure are you... of the people you directly see with abnormalities on their bodies, how sure are they that they are contaminated?"
Lu Xin seemed a little confused and turned to look at Chen Jing.
Facing Chen Jing's face that had all negative emotions removed, he nodded slowly and said, "Don't you believe me?"
Chen Jing suddenly felt a little nervous.
"I can understand that."
Lu Xin then spoke, even with a warm smile on his face:
"When my family first appeared, I would wonder if I was hallucinating."
"Otherwise, why can't others see it but only me?"
"It's the same now."
"If I see their abnormalities but you can't detect them, it would be reasonable for you to doubt me."
"It's just that I can't answer the question you're asking me now."
"..."
As he spoke, he looked up and said, "After all, it is my job to find abnormalities and point them out."
"But believe me or not, it's your leadership's job..."
"Right?"
