Chapter VII: Screening
Returning the same way and reaching the entrance of the freight elevator, Vito put his ear to the cold concrete wall, listened carefully, and there was no sound in the freight elevator room, so he pressed the button with peace of mind, and the freight elevator went down.
When rising to the negative floor, Vito is still carefully observing the movements around him, at this time there is still a while before going to work, and there are no vehicles entering and exiting the parking lot on the negative floor, because the traffic is very convenient in this era, people are used to using public transportation, holding a social security card to go anywhere they want to go can be reached within the time they want to control, so no one wants to have a private car, and the vehicles parked in the parking lot are public, and they are configured for those field special police officers when they are on duty. Only the busy councillors and the heads of various institutions will have their own vehicles for them because of the needs of their work.
Vito turned from the freight elevator into the elevator, his heart was steady, when he came out of the elevator, there were only a few handymen wearing code tags on their chests in the corridor of the floor cleaning the hall, no one noticed him, he puffed up his chest, tugged at the corner of his clothes, ironed his clothes a little, so that people could not see the flaws, and then walked to his office.
Not surprisingly, he was the first to enter the office, so after turning on the computer, he went to the restaurant, had a full meal, and felt better, but the feeling of sleepiness was still very strong.
He hurried back to his office, and while he was still in the hallway, he heard a voice coming from his office.
"What about Vito 1000? Why hasn't it arrived yet? He's never been late! β
Vito could hear it being Chief Wharton's voice, and his tone was irritated and urging.
At this time, a soft voice sounded: "Sir, it's not time to go to work yet!" And the door was already open when I came, and everyone else came after me, I think it must have been Vito 1000's door, maybe he went to dinner. β
It was Ellie's voice, and Vito was happy to hear Elle explaining to herself, and her steps quickened.
"Sir, I just went to dinner, do you have any tasks to assign?" Vito pulled himself together, not wanting Chief Wharton to see the tiredness in his eyes.
Wharton looked up at the induction clock hanging on the wall, which senses the rotation and revolution of the earth, calculates the angle between the equator and the ecliptic, and uses it to measure the time, which can be done in milliseconds.
Sure enough, it was not yet official work time, Wharton's face softened a little, but his expression was still serious, and he said to Vito in his usual majestic tone: "In a while, the second and seventh district bureaus will send a group of thug files, these people's identity information should be carefully checked, and find out their accomplices who are closely related to them, their families, relatives, friends, and colleagues are all within the scope of screening, and they will all be eliminated, and no one will be spared, if there are people from other city-states, Just write down the list directly, today's task is very important, you must not make mistakes, after checking clearly, immediately send it to the office of the director of the top level, the director of the General Bureau is waiting to see it, so be quick, do you hear it? β
"Yes, sir." Vito nodded respectfully in agreement, but his heart was a little furious, and Wharton gritted his teeth when he said "thug", and he was scared. "Thugs?" What kind of thugs, Vito had never seen before, what they had done, so hated by Chief Wharton, it must have been a group of fierce and vicious characters.
Wharton finished his confession and walked briskly out of the staff office, and the rest of his colleagues in the office began to whisper and exaggerate their expressions.
"I heard that there was a curfew in the second and seventh districts last night, and I arrested people all night and killed a few on the spot."
"yes, I hear SWAT officers driving chariots through the streets in my room, Vito 1000, you're in the seventh district, right? Did you hear that? β
Vito's face froze, and he didn't know what they were talking about, so he could only answer blankly, but fortunately, the colleagues didn't care if he answered or not, and continued to tell the story of what they had heard last night.
"I heard that this group of thugs is very cunning, they have destroyed the power system of several communities in the second and seventh districts, and they also carried high-frequency electronic jamming equipment with them, and destroyed the traffic dispatch system and electronic monitoring system."
"yes? So powerful! It's madness, why are they doing this? β
"Who knows? It can't be as simple as someone seeing the flyers they are handing out, right? β
"It's a lot! The streets of the 2nd and 7th arrondissements were littered, and the cleaners swept two trucks. β
Vito listened attentively, moved his feet, and sat down in his seat, thinking that he had to understand these things, because he was not in his room yesterday, and if someone asked, he should answer accordingly, so as to avoid the risk of revealing that he was not at home yesterday.
Vito could hear it, and he didn't notice that Elle on the other side was staring at him with the rest of her eyes, and there was a resentment in her eyes.
There was the sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and the people who were talking to each other closed their mouths, and two uniformed law enforcement special police officers walked in, they were wearing high nanofiber protective clothing, which was bulletproof, waterproof, high-temperature, anti-nuclear radiation, and could not melt for more than ten minutes under the high-temperature attack of laser weapons, and did not react with other chemicals, and had extremely high stability; Wearing gloves made of fiberglass silk on their hands, wearing a smart fiberglass helmet, the mask is put down, and the mask is dark and fluorescent, which is daunting.
They walked through the door, reached out and pressed the turn button on the helmet, and the mask retracted into the helmet, revealing their true colors, two majestic and grim faces, and the badge on their chests noted that one was from the second sector and the other was from the seventh sector.
Two tall and muscular figures walked to Vito's table, each handed over an electronic disk, Vito inserted the disk into the computer interface, entered the password, opened it, and saw that the names of more than a dozen people and their identities were recorded on each of the two documents.
For example, the name of one of them is Yang Qin, and there is a parenthesis after his name, which contains two words, the transliteration of the first one can be pronounced by Vito, but the latter two words Vito has never seen, and the dozen or so people on the list are all registered legal citizens of the city-state of Donghu.
When he opened the identity information called Yang Qin, the first thing he saw was a photo, the person in the photo had long curly black hair, a delicate face, sharp edges and corners, big black eyes, and a deep and melancholy look, like a wise man who was deep in thought. The information next to it shows that he is not a synthetic biological person, but a natural viviparous person, also known as a natural person, 37 years old, has a father and mother, and a younger brother named Yang Zheng, and a younger sister named Yang Di, his father Yang Cheng was once a member of the state council of the Donghu city-state, with a prominent status and respect, and later retired due to his age, enjoyed the support of the city-state, and spent his old age at home.
However, his mother Shen Jie's identity is more noble, Shen Jie was born in the Jinghua city-state, his father Shen Zheren is the former speaker of the Jinghua city-state council, the Jinghua city-state is the seat of the Asian senate of the republic, as the speaker, he has a very close relationship with the Asian senate and even the grand senatory, and those who are at the top of the power of the senators are very close to each other, although he died five years ago, his two sons are now serving as members of the Jinghua city-state council, So as the daughter of the old speaker of the late central city-state, such an identity still shines brightly, and people dare not look up.
But what happened to a man of such a prominent family who could be a thug who had seriously violated the laws of the Republic? Why would he do it? These questions left Vito at a loss for answers.
Vito did not dare to slack off on the affairs that the commander had deliberately explained, even though he was already starting to feel a wave of fatigue, but he had to brace himself and do his best to complete this task in order to hide the panic in his heart.
He carefully checked each piece of information, checked the current identities of the individuals, and identified the identities of those associated with them from the information, which he then compiled into a folder.
The process was so tedious that it required careful checking, so much so that it was done by lunchtime, and Wharton came and urged it a few times in between.
Everyone went to dinner, Vito coded the sorted disks, pulled out the computer interface, and then walked quickly to the elevator, pressed the button, and the elevator soon arrived, and he walked in.
The office of the head of the general bureau was on the top floor, and Vito had never seen this director since he came here, and in the eyes of their subordinates, the supreme magistrate who maintained the peace and tranquility of the city-state was high and full of mystery.
The elevator reached the top floor, and Vito walked through a hallway, looking at the signs on each door, and in the middle of the hallway, on a very luxurious office door, the sign saidβOffice of the Director.
The door was hidden, and Vito was about to reach out and knock on the door when a roaring roar suddenly came from inside the door: "I don't want to see them again, get rid of them, a bunch of disgusting maggots, garbage." β
Then a cautious voice said, "Yes, yes, we'll do what you want, but.... That Yang Qin... What to do? "It's Wharton's voice.
"Yang Qin! I don't care who it is, no matter what kind of background he has, no matter who pleads for him, there is only one place he should go to - the refining furnace, if he dares to cause trouble for me at this time, I will let them disappear, completely... Forever.... Disappear. β
"Director, I know that this group of thugs has indeed caused us a lot of trouble, but I think it is still necessary for you to treat that Yang Qin differently, after all, the Shen family is not only closely related to the Intercontinental Senate, but also has a certain connection with the Grand Senate, if we ignore it, ignore the advice of Elder Seaman just now, and get rid of him, it may have some negative impact on you in the future, it will be too unworthwhile."
The person who spoke up earlier fell into a deep groan, and after a while asked, "Then what do you say?" β
"Expulsion," Wharton replied very quickly, "Expelling all the people of the Yang family, as for the Jinghua City-State willing to accept them, that is their business, and it has nothing to do with us, we deal with it like this, it can be regarded as giving Elder He-Man face, and he has to admit it."
There was silence in the office, and it was a few more moments before the voice of the man known as the Director rang out again.
"Okay, it's up to you, but quickly, before the election, and as for the rest, you know what to do, and I'll inform Elder Heman of the result, so that he won't be embarrassed not to support me in the election, and with his support, my chances of winning will be much greater."
"Yes, I'll get it done as soon as possible."
Outside the door, Vito felt that this was the rhythm of the conversation, and hurriedly withdrew his body, took a few steps back, turned back again, and when he reached the door, he reached out and knocked heavily on the door twice.
