Su Yi led Mota, Aurecia, and the others out of the arrivals hall under the gaze of countless onlookers.
But just as they were about to board their ship, two red-and-white police vessels suddenly flew in from either side.
A full twenty heavily armed police officers in exoskeleton armor disembarked from the vessels.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the officers quickly advanced and surrounded Su Yi's group.
Not far away, Matthew, who had been about to leave, hurriedly stopped and watched the unfolding scene with interest.
The reporters nearby, who had been preparing to disperse, immediately raised their cameras and frantically snapped pictures.
As everyone watched, a middle-aged man wearing powered armor and a director's badge walked over.
Looking down at Su Yi's group, he said, "I am Kofas Duke, director of the Red Sun Star Police Security Bureau."
"Following the assault and kidnapping of Ms. Olesia Malcon seven days ago, our professional detectives have conducted several days of investigation!"
"We now have some evidence suggesting that this kidnapping, which provoked a widespread public response across the planet, may have been staged."
"You are not permitted to resist. Come back to the Public Security Bureau with us immediately for questioning and investigation."
Su Yi merely smiled without saying anything.
Aurecia immediately said, "Director Duke, I believe there are serious problems with the direction of your investigation."
"So many people died in that attack, yet instead of investigating their identities, you chose to investigate the victims first?"
"The way you detectives on Red Sun Star handle cases really is extraordinary!"
Duke said coldly, "An entertainer like you has no business passing judgment on how our Public Security Bureau investigates cases!"
"Officers, take them away!"
A green gleam flashed in Mota's eyes. He was about to step forward when Su Yi stopped him.
