8. White Market – Freedom

remark

Mayor Bai Hong walked into the press conference room of the municipal government and made a brief speech to the majority of reporters:

Ladies and gentlemen! White Market is a city of freedom and advocates equality for all. In response to this emergency, everyone will work together to deal with it well. One of the people who attacked my house last night has been captured, and our police are interrogating him, and he will definitely be able to find out who is behind this incident. Once we have found the mastermind, we will appeal to the coalition government, because we live in a free city and will not allow anyone else to trample on our order. Everyone must strengthen their confidence, many assassinations have been crushed by us before, and this time, we must also handle it very appropriately, let those who want to crush our equality dream of it! Ladies and gentlemen! We must strengthen our ideals and beliefs, we have no distinction of rank and race, everyone who comes to this world enjoys the right of equality and freedom, and we must also give them freedom to those who have reformed their lives and committed crimes, and we cannot return to the slavery system of primitive society, and slaves are not allowed to exist in this city. After years of struggle, we won this right from the coalition government. Now, there are people who don't want this right to exist, they are actively promoting the plan to murder it, and they are carrying out dirty assassinations again and again. However, we are not afraid, because we fight for equality. We are on the side of justice, and victory will eventually belong to the side of justice. We need to unite and fight together against the enemy in the shadows. Ladies and gentlemen! We need to stand up and smash their machinations and smash their supremacy of the human race. Let's go fight! Let's go fight! Let's go fight!

In every corner of the city, there was a deafening applause, which echoed over the white market for a long time.

trial

When the people raised their arms and cheered for Mayor Bai's speech, in the interrogation room on the tenth basement floor of the police headquarters, several police officers were interrogating Dongfang Ming.

They knew that for a killer like Dongfang Ming, it was impossible to get a word by ordinary means. Even if he stabbed him one by one, he could only get streams of blood, and finally he ran out of blood and stopped breathing. Not to mention whipping him to get the news, it's a fool's dream.

The police have developed a set of practical steps for this type of killer.

Dongfang Ming was hung upside down, and his entire head was put into a large water tank. Soak for three minutes and rise. The policeman turned on a high-powered light that shot straight at his brain. Five minutes later, his head was put into the water again. It went on and on for an hour. Dongfang Ming still didn't speak. The police began the next step. Tied Dongfang Ming to the rotating roller, which lasted for half an hour of 36-degree rotation, he was already foaming at the mouth, and he still didn't explain. The policeman separated his limbs and tied them with ropes, and hung four telescopic robotic arms at the other end. One tightened and one loosened, which lasted for an hour, and Dongfang Ming's limbs were in a semi-dislocated state. They tied him to an iron plate and poured green needle water on both sides of his head.

Dongfang Ming gradually lost consciousness, and after being in a coma for half an hour, he woke up. He entered a question-and-answer state, and his brain was like a computer CPU that had been programmed. When the policeman asked, he answered. An hour later, the police got most of the information. They injected him with another dose of black liquid, and Dongfang Ming immediately fell into a coma.

report

It rained all the time, sometimes big and sometimes light. The whole city was cloudy and rainy, and the white market was like a melancholy girl, crying in the wind and rain.

A police car whipped out of the police station and across the hazy avenue with its horn blaring and flashing its dazzling lights. Ten minutes later, I parked in the parking space of the government building. The sheriff, who had the highest level of police badge on his shoulder, quickly got out of the car and went straight to the mayor's office.

"Report!"

Sheriff Huang stood at the door of the mayor's office, and Mayor Bai made a phone call and beckoned the sheriff to enter. Sheriff Huang stood at his desk, quietly waiting for the mayor to end the call. Three minutes later, Mayor White ended the call.

"Do you have the results of your police interrogation?" Mayor Bai sat back in his chair and clenched his fists, "My adopted daughter, who has disappeared for two years, why did she appear with him?" ”

"Report! Mayor! We already have the intelligence that it was a third-party assassination agency that carried out the operation. The name of the third-party assassination agency is Thai Security. Sergeant Huang handed a paper report to Mayor Bai, "I think this assassination has been planned for more than two years, and it is possible that they have been planning it since before Bai Lian disappeared." ”

Mayor Bai flipped through the report. Sergeant Huang stood silent. The sky outside was even darker, and Sheriff Huang looked at the clock on the wall, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Mayor Bai spent half an hour reading the report.

"Third-party assassination agency?" Mayor Bai hesitated for a moment, "The third party generally collects money to do things, which city wants to deal with us?" ”

"Mayor! According to these assassination attempts, each city may have a coalition government, or a third-party assassination agency leader, who wants to seize our city. ”

"Your police are investigating further. I want more detailed material. ”

doubt

After the sheriff left the office, the secretary delivered the meal to the office. Mayor Bai Hong picked up the chopsticks, and at this moment, he remembered his adopted daughter.

Two years ago, the White Lotus evaporated from the White Market, as if she had not survived in the city. Mayor Baihong organized personnel and searched for more than a year, and the search team traveled to many, many cities, but there was no news of Bailian.

"Daddy! You're working too hard. Daughter gives you a thump on the back. Two years ago, the night before her disappearance, Bai Hong was working overtime in the office when his daughter came to visit him, "You didn't take care of your mother and me for work." Father! Mom wants you to go home, you've been here for five days. ”

"Dad has a lot of things to deal with, and when the busyness is smooth, I'll go back to accompany you and your mother." Bai Hong stopped what he was doing, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed Bai Lian's twisted shoulders, "Your work is going well, right?" ”

"Everything was fine!"

"Everything was fine!" Bai Hong muttered to herself, "Why did my daughter come to assassinate me? Where has she been in the past two years? Why did she work for a third-party assassination agency? ”

Bai Hong lost his appetite, put down his chopsticks, and stood in front of the large glass, overlooking the city in the evening. This is the city he single-handedly founded, and he has worked hard to achieve it. He was very disappetic to the system of reducing criminals to slavery, and he was dissatisfied with the coalition government. However, with the explosive growth of people around the world, the coalition government had to consider the resilience of the planet and recognize slavery in most cities to cope with the population expansion.

Now, the daughter's muzzle is also pointed at herself.

Looking at the city in the rainy evening, he wondered whether his resistance to slavery was a righteous path.
