After passing through several checkpoints along the way, and finally swiping a specially encrypted code lock and unlocking the pupils and fingerprints for the last time, the assistant secretary of the Minister of Security entered a special room.
There are all kinds of advanced equipment here, as well as many professional elites. They are all talents from the army and police force discovered by the minister.
This is the headquarters of the Ministry of Security, and it is also the hub that directs the entire national security system. The secretary is now heading straight towards an independent office in the room that is surrounded by glass.
The curtain was only lowered halfway, but it was enough to see how many people were inside. At this time, there was only one person, the security minister.
"Minister." The secretary called slowly after opening the door.
The security minister, who was leaning on the chair and only covered with his coat, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were already covered with bloodshot eyes. From the time of the hostage hijacking case to now, it has been two days and three nights.
I really took a rest and never left this command center.
Very haggard looking.
"Minister, why don't you go to the lounge and take a nap first?" the secretary said worriedly.
The minister waved his hand, and then rubbed his face vigorously a few times. His voice was a little hoarse, but still clear: "What's the news?"
Many things happened in these two days, the most important of which was naturally the hijacking of the theater and the assassination of the Senate President.
Because things almost happened at the same time, His Excellency the President was furious and gave a death order, and the murderer must be found as soon as possible.
"Everyone who attended the concert that day is under investigation. I will notify you as soon as there is any news."
The minister was still rubbing his eyebrows, "What else is going on?"
The secretary quickly opened the document on hand, "It's like this. Regarding the investigation of the theater hijacking, people from the technical department examined the remains of the bomb that was brought back, and they found something."
Opening the document, then turning it over, the secretary pushed the document directly in front of the minister.
The minister picked it up and read it carefully. He would not be careless about anything, even the trivial matters mentioned in this document... But his brows suddenly frowned: "Black powder
Residues?"
The secretary nodded: "Yes, the technical department said that from some of the remains of the bomb, it can be inferred that this kind of thing should be produced in a standard way. Logically speaking, the amount originally buried in the theater was enough to blow the entire theater to pieces.
...But for some reason, the high-concentration explosive inside actually turned into black powder. We found an activated detonator from Roger's body. We believe that before he died, he planned to activate these bombs and die together.
But..."
"The last resort that was supposed to be used to kill each other turned into black powder with no power at all..." The minister pondered for a moment: "Do you think Roger was being tricked when he got these bombs?
?”
The secretary shook his head: "I believe that a buyer like him will do the minimum acceptance inspection."
"This is strange..." The minister became more confused and looked at his secretary: "In addition, during the process of rescuing the Senate President, some strange things also happened. According to the confession of the Storm Team at the time, they were
Before arriving, Crocodile and another gangster had already passed out, but at that time only the Senate President was left in the room. We believe that the Senate President is not capable of letting these two people go."
The secretary also said: "In fact, when we were in the concert hall, the gangsters who were guarding fell into a coma for no reason. Later, our people seized the guns of these gangsters, and even found that all the magazines in these guns were missing.
...However, according to what the hostages said at the time, these guns should have bullets, because the gangsters had fired before."
Things seem to be getting weirder and weirder.
The minister suddenly felt an unknown feeling... When something goes beyond conventional understanding, it is easy for people to fall into an inexplicable fear.
There is no doubt that the Minister is not a person who likes to have things that cannot be explained.
"Have people go to the theater to investigate again, and don't miss any tiny thing." The minister immediately ordered, and then seemed to remember something: "By the way, have the communications and power outside been restored?"
"Some people are already making emergency repairs, but the scope is too wide. Several major cables have been burned out due to short circuits. I'm afraid it will take at least another 48 hours before power can be restored to the entire city. As for communications, they can be repaired soon.
.But during the storm, most of the electronic devices on hand were burned down... There are not so many supplies of supplies such as mobile phones on the market at present, so this may be a troublesome matter."
Despite this, the hub of the security department is still working as usual because the equipment and power supply system here are independent systems, and the security is quite remarkable.
"What's the reason?"
"We have specifically consulted several professors at the Research Institute, but their opinions are not very consistent." The secretary said helplessly: "I have also asked at the observatory, and they also said that they have not found any particularly strong activity on the sun."
"The hijacking case, the assassination of the Senate President, and the storm disaster all happened in these two days... It was like a world dominated by terror in a movie." The minister suddenly smiled bitterly, "What happened in this God's day...
City, it’s really ironic..."
"Everything has its cause, as long as we can find a breakthrough." The secretary comforted.
The minister nodded, then cheered up: "Pour me a cup of coffee."
The secretary quickly said: "Minister, you haven't gone home for several days without rest... How about you go back and rest for half a day? Besides, Dr. French was also frightened this time. You... you don't plan to go home."
Go and see him?"
The minister was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked: "Didn't he ask Billy's people to send him home?"
The secretary said: "Doctor, he didn't go back later and went directly back to the university's laboratory. I heard that he had been running to the place where Mr. Billy was hospitalized for the past two days, but the bodyguard didn't let him pass. As for Mr. Billy's operation, although it was very successful
, but I haven’t woken up in the past two days. The doctor said that I lost too much blood and was infected with some bacteria. I have been having a high fever for the past two days.”
The minister rubbed his forehead: "How did he get in touch with Billy... Are you still soliciting sponsorship for the satellite launch plan? He just does some thankless things... this stubborn guy."
"minister……"
"Okay, I understand." The minister waved his hand: "I still have a few documents that I haven't finished reading. I have a meeting in the afternoon and I have to go to the Presidential Palace before five o'clock. Other things... I'll talk about it when I'm free.
Bar."
"Okay, then I'm going out too." The secretary had no choice but to nod.
…
…
'white-hell'
Next to the lamppost opposite the door of the White Hell Bar, Caroline and Arnold were looking at their arrival for half an hour.
After several discussions, in order to prove her innocence, Caroline planned to find Hailey. The only clue was what Livia had mentioned. She and her boyfriend had had sex several times.
Date in this 'white-hell'.
According to what Arnold mentioned about Hailey, Caroline felt that a gangster like Hailey should be acquainted with people in the 'white-hell', so she might be able to get information about Hailey from some employees in the bar.
news.
"The door hasn't opened yet." Arnold frowned.
Due to the strange weather, many places in the city are still without electricity. As for the people in the city, they are also busy cleaning up the losses caused by the weather. Both sides of the road now look very deserted.
"I'm afraid we won't open the door today." Arnold looked at Caroline and said helplessly.
There was a hint of irritation on Caroline's face. She had smoked one after another women's cigarettes, and there were already seven or eight cigarette butts on the ground.
Arnold frowned, snatched the cigarette that Caroline had just lit, and stamped it out while still on the ground, "Relax, you're in a bad state."
"Don't worry about me." Caroline frowned, then walked straight towards the door of 'white-hell'.
Arnold had no choice but to follow quickly.
I don’t know who I’ve heard say that you should never confront a woman who has decided something. Because such women are more stubborn than men.
Arnold felt that Caroline might be this type and she was tapping the gate of 'white-hell' hard.
But it seemed that such a simple and crude method worked well and quickly. The 'white-hell' actually opened, and a big man covered in tattoos opened it impatiently and smashed the door, "What's the matter? We have a power outage and are closed today.
, hurry up and go quickly!"
"Let me ask you something!" Caroline said quickly, while taking out a few bills from her bag, "Your reward is indispensable."
"Miss, you really know the rules. Tell me, what do you want to ask?" It was obviously not the first time that someone asked him about something, so this big man skillfully stuffed Caroline's banknotes directly into his pocket.
"Have you seen Haley? Do you know where he has been recently?" Caroline asked straight to the point.
The big man was stunned for a moment, then he opened his mouth, then frowned and took out the money he had stuffed into his pocket, "Are you kidding me? Isn't Hailey right next to you?"
Caroline was startled, and subconsciously looked at Arnold beside her, who just gave her a helpless smile, "This is not the first time this has happened to me... Have you seen it too?"
Having said that, Arnold didn't explain too much. He just took out his ID card and waved it in front of the big man: "See clearly, my name is Arnold. The Hailey you mentioned and I are twins.
. Now Haili is missing and I can’t find him, so I came to you to ask.”
The big man held his ID card and looked back and forth several times before grabbing his hair and saying, "Isn't this ID a fake? I've never heard him say that he has a twin brother?"
Arnold said calmly: "If you don't believe it, I can go to the police station with you to check whether this ID card is genuine."
The big man shook his head, returned the things to Arnold, then shrugged, but he quickly stuffed the banknotes he just took out back into his pocket, "I haven't seen this guy in more than a month.
.I'm sorry, I don't know where he is now."
"Then what was he doing when you last saw him? Did he talk about his body or something?" Caroline asked.
The big man was very cooperative after accepting the money, shrugged and said: "What else can that guy do? Isn't he just here to pick up a prostitute? The last time I saw him, he probably happened to pick up a prostitute."
"Prostitute" Caroline frowned.
The big man chuckled and said, "I forgot her name, but that woman has hooked up with several men and had sex with us several times, so I recognize her. I also talked about this with Haili and said that this woman is very
Damn, your skills in bed must be great! Then Haili took action... Hey, this guy is actually not bad looking, he looks presentable even after dressing up, and he hooked up within two seconds."
Caroline's brows almost twisted into a "Sichuan" shape.
She couldn't help feeling sad for Livia in her heart.
Livia told her that her boyfriend had never known her identity and occupation. Unexpectedly, he already knew about it early on and came here just for this reason.
I'm afraid she knew that Livia was a call girl and planned to defraud Livia of money and sex from the beginning.
"Oh... By the way, you may be able to go to a place where you might be able to find Hailey." The big man seemed to have remembered something.
"Say it." Caroline glared.
But the big man pursed his lips and had a strange smile on his face. Caroline glared at him hatefully, then reluctantly took out a few more bills and slapped them in front of the big man's chest.
"Kata Club." The big man said with a smile: "One time he drank too much and said he wanted a temporary job there. However, I don't know that he is still doing it now."
As he said that, he stared at Arnold next to Caroline with strange eyes, and then rubbed his chin, the sly smile became even stronger.
Arnold frowned and said, "Where is the Kata Club?"
Caroline said coldly: "Rich women and some guys with special sexual habits are looking for a man's place."
"Miss, do you know something about it? Have you ever played there?" The big man laughed strangely.
"Shut your mouth!" Caroline gave a cold look, then turned angrily and walked away, and Arnold had to follow her quickly.
…
The two of them quickly disappeared from the sight of the big man.
The big man didn't pay attention, and happily counted the consulting fees he received from Caroline, and even whistled. But at this moment, he heard very crisp footsteps.
A woman wearing a black dress and holding a black umbrella was walking past him and then stopped.
This woman was very pale and looked extremely weak. The woman raised her head and took a look at the facade of 'White-Hell', and the big man also saw her face clearly.
This big man is used to hanging out in romantic places, so he can't help but say: "Hey, beauty, there is a power outage here and we are closed at night. But I can open a private room for you. Do you want to come in and have fun? I'll buy you a drink!"
"'White-Hell'...White Hell." The woman smiled slightly: "Is there any place with such a name?"
"Is it cool enough?" The big man was quite proud.
The woman chuckled and said: "It's really hell inside. Are there any devils?"
"Do you like the devil?" The big man laughed loudly, and then flexed his chest muscles, "The devil is not as strong as me."
"Then please let me have a look." The woman holding a black umbrella smiled sweetly: "It happens that my family and I are homeless now and are planning to find a place to live."
As she said that, the woman gave a seductive look and walked directly past the big man and walked straight into the 'white-hell' bar.
The big man showed an expression of obsession, his eyes were dull, and he slowly followed in.
Not long after, there was a scream.
In front of the door, a bloody palm stretched out and clung to the door panel, but in the blink of an eye the palm quickly let go, as if it was dragged in by something.
The gate suddenly fell down and made a heavy sound.
