Chapter 51: The Lost Lamb
After going through several checkpoints along the way, swiping a specially encrypted combination 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, and there are also many professional elites, who are all talents of the army and the police force discovered by the minister.
This is the headquarters of the Ministry of Security, and the hub that commands the entire national security system, and the secretary is now heading straight into a separate office in the room that is cut out of glass on all sides.
The curtain was only halfway down, but it was enough to see how many people were inside—the Minister of Security was the only one in the room.
"Minister. The secretary opened the door and called out slowly.
The Minister of Security, who was leaning back in his chair and wearing only a coat, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot - he hadn't really rested or left the command center for two days and three nights since the hostage-taking case.
Very haggard appearance.
"Minister, would you like to go to the lounge and get some sleep?" said the secretary worriedly.
The minister waved his hand, then rubbed his face vigorously a few times. His voice was a little hoarse, but it was still clear: "What's the news?"
Many things have happened in the past two days, the most important of which is the hijacking of the theater and the assassination of the president of the Senate.
Because almost everything happened at the same time, His Excellency the President had already been furious and gave a death order to find the murderer in the shortest possible time.
"The people who participated in the concert that day are all under investigation. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. ”
The minister was still rubbing his eyebrows, "What else?"
The secretary hurriedly opened the document at hand, "That's right, about the investigation of this theater hijacking, the people from the technical department examined the wreckage of the bomb that was brought back this time, and they found something. ”
Opening the document and then turning it upside down, the secretary pushed the document directly in front of the minister.
The minister picked it up and looked at it carefully, he would not be careless about anything, even the little things mentioned in the document...... It's just that his brow suddenly furrowed: "The residue of black powder?"
The secretary nodded: "Yes, the technical department said that through some of the remains of the bomb, it can be inferred that this kind of thing should be produced in a standard manner, and it stands to reason that the amount buried in the theater is enough to blow up the entire theater...... But I don't know why, the high-concentration explosives inside actually turned into black powder. We found an activated detonator from Roger's corpse, and it is believed that he intended to activate the bombs before he died, intending to die together. But ......"
"Is the last resort that should have been used to destroy the same fate turned into black powder with no power at all......" The minister pondered for a moment: "You say, when Roger gets these bombs, will they be put together?"
The secretary shook his head: "I believe that if a buyer like him is a buyer, the least acceptance will still be done." ”
"That's strange......" The minister looked at his secretary even more suspiciously, "In addition, in the process of rescuing the Senate, some strange things also happened. According to the Stormstorm Team's confessions at the time, Klockdal and the other bandit were unconscious before they arrived, but only the Senator was left in the room. We believe that the President of the Senate is not capable of putting these two people. ”
The secretary also said: "In fact, when I was in the recital hall at that time, the bandits who were guarding also fell into a coma for no reason. Later, our people seized the guns of these bandits, and found that all the magazines in these guns were gone...... However, according to the hostages' rhetoric at the time, the guns should have been loaded because the bandits had fired them. ”
Things seem to be getting weirder.
The minister suddenly had a sense of foreboding...... When something is beyond the conventional understanding, it is easy to fall into an inexplicable fear.
There is no doubt that the minister is not a person who likes not being able to explain something.
"Let people go to the theater again and don't let go of any of the tinies. The minister then commanded, and then seemed to remember something: "By the way, have the communications and power been restored outside?"
"There are already people rushing to repair it, but the scope is too wide, several major cables have been burned due to short circuits, and I am afraid it will take at least another 48 hours to restore the power of the whole city. As for communications, they will be repaired very quickly. However, during the storm, most of the electronic devices on hand of most people were burned...... At present, there are not so many mobile phones and other supplies on the market, which is probably a troublesome thing. ”
Despite this, the hub of the security department is still working as usual - because the equipment and power supply system are separate and separate systems, and the security is quite remarkable.
"Why?"
"We consulted several professors from the research institute, but their statements were not very consistent. The secretary said helplessly: "I also asked about the observatory, and they also said that they did not find any particularly strong activity of the sun." ”
"The hijacking, the assassination of the Senate, the storm, all happened in these two days...... It's like a world dominated by horror in a movie. The minister suddenly smiled bitterly, "It's really ironic that it happened in this city of God......"
"Everything has its cause, as long as we can find a breakthrough in it. The secretary comforted.
The minister nodded, then cheered up: "Pour me a cup of coffee." ”
The secretary hurriedly said at this time: "Minister, you haven't rested for several days and gone home...... Why don't you go back and rest for a day?Besides, Dr. Ferranch is frightened this time, you ...... Aren't you going to go home and see him?"
The minister was silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "Didn't he send Billy's people home?"
The secretary said: "Doctor, he didn't go back later, and went directly to the university laboratory." I heard that he had been running to the place where Mr. Billy was hospitalized for the past two days, but the bodyguards did not let him through. As for Mr. Billy's surgery, although it was successful, he did not wake up for the past two days, and the doctor said that he had lost too much blood and was infected with some bacteria, and he had been having a high fever for the past two days. ”
The minister rubbed his forehead: "How did he get on the line with Billy...... Are you still pulling sponsorship for satellite launches? Do some thankless things...... This stubborn guy. ”
"Minister's ......"
"Okay, I got it. The minister waved his hand: "I still have a few documents to read, there is a meeting in the afternoon, and I have to go to the presidential palace before five o'clock." Other...... Let's talk about it later. ”
"Okay, then I'll go out too. The secretary nodded.
......
......
‘HITE-HELL’
Caroline and Arnold were looking at the lamppost opposite the door of the White Hell's Bar—they had been there for half an hour.
AFTER SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS, IN ORDER TO PROVE HER INNOCENCE, CAROLINE PLANS TO FIND OUT HALEY, AND THE ONLY CLUE IS THAT LIVIA HAS MENTIONED THAT SHE AND HER BOYFRIEND HAVE BEEN DATING IN THIS 'HITE-HELL' SEVERAL TIMES.
ACCORDING TO WHAT ARNOLD MENTIONED ABOUT HALEY, CAROLINE FELT THAT A THUG LIKE HALEY SHOULD KNOW SOMEONE FROM 'HITE-HELL', SO MAYBE SHE COULD GET NEWS OF HALEY FROM SOME OF THE BAR'S EMPLOYEES.
"The door hasn't been opened yet. Arnold frowned.
Due to the influence of strange weather, many places in the city have not yet been electrified. As for the people in the city, they are also busy cleaning up the damage caused by the weather, and the sides of the road are now very deserted.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to open the door today. Arnold looked at Caroline and said helplessly.
Caroline had a hint of irritation on her face, the women's cigarettes had been smoked one after another, and there were already seven or eight cigarette butts on the ground.
Arnold frowned, snatched a cigarette that Caroline had just lit, and still stepped on the ground, "Relax, you're not in a good state." ”
"Leave me alone. Caroline frowned, then walked straight towards the door of 'HITE-HELL'.
Arnold had no choice but to hurry up.
I don't know who I've heard say that you should never confront a woman who has decided something. Because such women are even more stubborn than men.
ARNOLD THINKS CAROLINE MIGHT BE THAT TYPE — SHE'S BANGING THE 'HITE-HELL' FLOODGATES.
But it seems that such a simple and crude way works well - soon, 'HITE-HELL' actually opened, and a big man covered in tattoos impatiently opened and slammed the door, "What's the matter? We're out of business today, hurry up!"
"I'll ask you something!" Caroline said quickly, pulling a few bills from her bag, "You're going to be paid." ”
"Miss, you really know the rules, tell me, ask something?" the big man was obviously not the first time he had been asked about something—and so he skilfully shoved Caroline's bills straight into his pocket.
"Have you seen Haley, do you know where he's been lately?" asked Carolyn straight to the point.
The big man was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth, then frowned, and took out the money stuffed into his pocket, "Are you kidding me? Isn't Haley right next to you?"
Caroline was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Arnold beside her, who just showed her a helpless wry smile, "It's not the first time I've done this kind of thing...... You saw that, right?"
Saying that, Arnold didn't explain too much, just took out his ID card directly and shook it in front of the big man: "See clearly, my name is Arnold." The relationship between Haley and I in your mouth is twins. Now that Haley is missing, I can't find him, so I'm here to ask. ”
Dahan held his ID card in his hand and looked back and forth several times before grabbing his hair: "This document can't be fake, right? I've never heard him say that he has a twin brother?"
Arnold said indifferently: "If you don't believe it, I can go to the police station with you to check if this ID card is real." ”
The big man shook his head, returned the thing to Arnold, and then shrugged his shoulders, but quickly shoved the money he had just taken out back into his pocket, "I haven't seen this guy in over a month." I'm sorry, but I don't know where he is now. ”
"And what was he doing when you last saw him? Did you talk about bodies or anything?" asked Caroline.
After receiving the money, the big man was very cooperative, shrugged his shoulders and said, "What else can that guy do? Isn't it just to soak horses here? The last time I saw him, I should have just soaked in a prostitute/girl." ”
"Prostitute/Girl?" Caroline frowned.
The big man smiled and said, "I can't remember what the name is, but that woman has hooked up with a few men with us and a few times, so I recognize it." I also talked to Haley about it, and said that this woman was very sassy, and that the kung fu in bed must be great......! Hey, this guy actually looks good, he still looks decent when he dresses up, and he hooked up in two clicks. ”
Caroline's brow was about to twist into a Sichuan character.
She couldn't help but feel sad for Livia.
Livia told her that her boyfriend had never known who he was. I didn't expect that people would already know about it for a long time, and they came for this.
I'm afraid that she knew that Livia Adam's call lady planned to cheat money and sex from Livia from the beginning.
"Oh...... By the way, you might be able to go somewhere, and you might be able to find Haley. The big man seemed to remember something.
"Say it quickly. Caroline glared.
But the big man pursed his mouth and smiled strangely. Caroline glared hatefully again, and then reluctantly took out a few more bills and slapped them in front of the big man's chest muscles.
"Kata Clubhouse. Dahan smiled and said, "Once he drank too much and said that he asked for a temporary job there, but I don't know if he is still doing it." ”
As he spoke, he stared at Arnold beside Caroline strangely, and then rubbed his chin, the taste of the smirk even stronger.
Arnold frowned and said, "What is the Kata Clubhouse?"
Caroline said coldly: "The rich woman also has some guys with special sexual fetishes, a place to find a man." ”
"Miss, do you know a lot?
"Shut your mouth!" Caroline gave her a cold look, then turned angry and rushed away, and Arnold had to hurry to follow.
......
The two of them soon disappeared from the man's sight.
The big man didn't care, and happily counted the consultation fees he got from Caroline, and even whistled. But at this moment, he heard very crisp footsteps.
A woman in a black dress with a black umbrella walked past him and stopped.
The woman was very pale and looked unusually weak on the outside. The woman looked up at the façade of 'HITE-HELL', and the big man could see her face clearly.
This big man is a person who is used to being in Fengyue places, and he can't help but say: "Hey, beauty, the power here is out and closed at night." But I can open a box for you, do you want to come in and have fun?"
“‘HITE-HELL’...... White hell. The woman smiled slightly: "Is there a place to take such a name?"
"Cool enough, right?" said the big man.
The woman chuckled, "Inside...... Is it really hell, is there a devil?"
"Do you like the devil?" the big man laughed, and then beat the muscles in his chest, "The devil is not as strong as me." ”
"Then please let me see. The woman with the black umbrella smiled sweetly: "It just so happens that my family and I are now homeless, and we are planning to find a place to live." ”
As she spoke, the woman gave a seductive look and walked directly past the big man, walking straight into the 'HITE-HELL' bar.
The big man showed an obsessive look, and reincarnated with a dull gaze and slowly followed.
Soon after, a screaming voice was heard.
In front of the door, a bloody palm stretched out and clung to the door, but in the blink of an eye it quickly let go, as if it had been dragged in by something.
The gate fell down with a loud bang.
This 'HITE-HELL' bar is closed again.
