Chapter 230: Different Work

"How could this happen?"

 Minister Shen strode into another office in a hurry.

 At this time, his face was livid. While he was busy taking care of the security matters for the Maritime State 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 it became clear. The urgency of the matter.

 This office was obviously improvised.

 But there are more LCD screens hanging on the wall than there are at the steel suspension bridge at the east gate of Qinggang City.

 Above, there are dense scenes. Some of them are of armed personnel wearing protective suits blocking a building. Some are scenes of arrested people struggling and shouting in fear. Some are scenes of arrested people in interrogation rooms. The scene of the arrester crying.

 Such pictures are arranged together, which makes people feel an extremely depressed feeling psychologically.

 "It's Colonel Chen from the Special Purpose Department..."

 The staff who had been waiting in this room immediately reported: "She has issued arrest orders to nearly a hundred citizens of the main city in just one hour, and has blocked three buildings, two A shopping mall, an 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 who can be directly mobilized by the Special Purpose Department, as well as the police officers from the Guards Department who are ordered to cooperate with their actions, have received orders from the Special Purpose Department and have joined in the arrest, interrogation, detention and isolation of targets. Severely understaffed."

 "Now, she has submitted a report on this abnormal incident to the superiors 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 involved in something." An unusual contamination."

 Minister Shen's face was dark and he took the document.

 The staff continued to report: "This incident has been sent to Mr. Su and the Supreme Administrative Office 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, the Special Purpose Department has not yet Give them an explanation."

 "Now, these people have felt scared and have complained through various channels and asked for their release."

 "The phone numbers in the administrative office are almost all ringing, and people have gathered in front of the security office 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, we will arrest him without fail!"

 "yes..."

 The staff swallowed and said, "But the problem is that we...can't prove that they were contaminated."

 "Um?"

 Minister Shen raised his head suddenly and his eyes fell on his face.

 …

 …

 "Team...Team leader, too many people have been arrested..."

 In the heart of the main city of Qinggang, on the most prosperous avenue, Chen Jing had already arrived. Chen Jing, who had met Lu Xin, was holding the walkie-talkie tightly and silently watching several arrests in front of her that had triggered panic. At this scene, his brows knit together tightly.

 Beside her, a fully armed soldier was a little worried: "If we continue to arrest, we have exceeded our authority."

 There was no expression on Chen Jing's face, she just looked at the car in front of her.

 In that car, Lu Xinzheng sat quietly in the passenger seat and pointed out all the people he saw.

 This was no longer something Chen Jing could convey by herself, so she directly arranged for an 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...

 Facing the worries of her 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 men under his command said: "All the arrested people have undergone expedited testing and interrogation. However, it was found that none of them could find anything abnormal, whether it was psychological or mental strength testing. There are fluctuations beyond normal values, which means that all the people we arrest now are ordinary people, and this is where we feel worried..."

 "The people in the main city are different from the satellite cities. Whether we are arresting or questioning, we need at least a reason."

 "Now more and more people are questioning why we arrest people."

 "Even the Executive Office can hardly bear the pressure!"

 "..."

 "Nothing unusual can be found..."

 Chen Jing was silent for a moment 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 was nothing abnormal about Lu Weiwei, and even the watchdog who was best at distinguishing this area couldn't tell. However, Lu Xin could see that there was something abnormal about her, and after the arrest and interrogation, it was indeed discovered that Lu Weiwei had been in contact with A "mysterious wish-making incident" suspected to be related to the pollution incident.

 But after all, Lu Weiwei was only one person, and he was the one who had just obtained the qualification to move into the 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, the wishing incident had turned into a chaos that could affect the entire main city.

 And until then, she had not found evidence.

 …

 "What results were obtained from the interrogation on whether they had been exposed to the wish-making incident?"

 Chen Jing asked quickly and calmly.

 "Several people came out during the interrogation and admitted that they had indeed been exposed to similar wish-making events."

 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 based on the previous mysterious information The investigation report on the wish-making incident and the several existing interrogation reports make it difficult to convince the Executive Office and the Ministry of Urban Defense to cooperate with our work..."

 "First of all, most of the people that my special clearance department can mobilize are now in the Donghai Hotel, responsible for the security work of high-level talent training conferences. Secondly, we can't arrest anymore, we have already affected the operation of the main city. If you continue to catch..."

 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 the City Defense Department say?"

 "No answer has been given."

 "I see."

 Chen Jing nodded slightly, and then walked towards the stopped car in front of her.

 …

 …

 "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. There is no way to shake them.

 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?"

 Chen Jing's figure appeared outside the co-pilot's side, 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, trying to explain as clearly as possible: "Moreover, as we enter the center of the city, the more people we meet, the more and more people I see with abnormalities. Even when I see it now There were more than a dozen people in front of me who obviously had such a problem. This was the first time an abnormality appeared in front of me. So many people were so close, but they just looked at him..."

 Chen Jing was silent for a moment and said, "Besides seeing it, do you have any other evidence?"

 Lu Xin shook his head: "No."

 Chen Jing frowned slightly and said: "If you just see it, it will be difficult to convince others. Now we have arrested a lot of people, and no matter what kind of detection method, no abnormality is found in them. So, now I I want to confirm with you, how confident are you that the people you directly see with abnormalities 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 became 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 and 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?"
