After passing through several checkpoints, the assistant secretary of the minister of security finally entered a special room after swiping a special password lock and unlocking his pupils and fingerprints for the last time.
There were all kinds of advanced equipment here, as well as many professional elites. They were all talents from the army and the police force that had been discovered by the minister.
This was the headquarters of the Ministry of State Security, and also the hub that commanded the entire national security system. The secretary was now facing a separate office with glass walls in the room.
The curtain was only lowered halfway, but it was enough to see how many people were inside — only the minister was there.
"Minister," the secretary called after opening the door.
The minister, who was leaning on the chair with only a coat over his body, opened his eyes at once. His eyes were bloodshot. It had been two days and three nights since the hostage incident, and he hadn't really rested or left the command center.
He looked very haggard.
"Minister, would you like to take a nap in the lounge?" the secretary asked worriedly.
The minister waved his hand and rubbed his face hard a few times. His voice was a little hoarse, but still clear, "What's the news?"
A lot of things had happened in the past two days, the most important of which was the hostage incident at the theater and the assassination of the Senate speaker.
Because everything happened almost at the same time, the president was furious and gave a death order that the murderer must be found in the shortest time possible.
"The personnel who attended the concert that day are all under investigation. I'll inform you as soon as there's news. "
The minister was still rubbing his eyebrows, "Anything else?"
The secretary hurriedly opened the file in his hand, "It's like this. About the investigation of the hostage incident, the technical department checked the bomb wreckage and found something."
The secretary opened the file, turned it around, and pushed it directly to the minister.
The director picked up the document and read it carefully. He would not be careless about anything, even if it was something trivial that was mentioned in the document … But his brows suddenly furrowed. "The residue of black gunpowder?"
The secretary nodded. "Yes, the technical department said that based on the wreckage of the bomb, they can deduce that this thing should be a standard production. Logically speaking, the amount of explosives buried in the theatre should be enough to blow up the whole theatre … but for some unknown reason, the highly concentrated explosives inside turned into black powder. We found an activated detonator from Roger's body. I believe he wanted to activate the bomb before he died, intending to die together with us. But … "
"The last resort that should have been used to perish together actually turned into black gunpowder that has no power at all …" The minister pondered for a moment. "Do you think Roger was tricked when he got these bombs?"
The secretary shook his head, "I believe that a buyer like him would at least check the bomb."
"That's strange …" The minister was even more puzzled, and he looked at his secretary, "In addition, something strange happened during the rescue of the Head of Parliament. According to the testimony of the Storm Squad, before they arrived, Crocodile and the other criminal were already unconscious, but only the Head of Parliament was left in the room. We believe that the Head of Parliament didn't have the ability to save the two of them. "
The secretary added, "In fact, when they were in the concert hall, the criminals guarding the theater also fell into a coma for no reason. Later on, when our people seized the guns, we found that the magazines in the guns were all gone … However, according to what the hostages said at that time, the guns should have bullets because the criminals had fired before. "
Things seemed to be getting stranger and stranger.
The minister suddenly had a bad feeling … When something was beyond common knowledge, it was easy to fall into an inexplicable fear.
There was no doubt that the minister wasn't a person who liked things that couldn't be explained.
"Send people to investigate the theater again. Don't miss anything," the minister ordered. Then he seemed to think of something, "By the way, has the outside communication and power been restored?"
"Someone is already repairing it, but the scope is too wide. Several main cables have been burned because of a short circuit. I'm afraid it will take at least another 48 hours to restore the city's power. As for the communication, it can be repaired soon. But during the storm, most of the electronic devices on hand have been burned … Currently, there are not so many mobile phones on the market. I'm afraid this is a more troublesome matter. "
Despite this, the security department's hub still worked as usual — because the equipment and power supply system here were independent systems, so the security here was remarkable.
"Why?"
"We specifically asked several professors in the Scientific Research Institute, but their explanations are not consistent." The secretary said helplessly, "I also asked the observatory, they also said that they didn't find any particularly strong activity in the sun."
"The kidnapping, the assassination of the Senator, the disaster of the storm, all happened in the past two days … It's like a world dominated by horror in the movies." The minister suddenly smiled bitterly, "It's really ironic that it happened in the City of God …"
"Everything has its cause, as long as we can find a breakthrough." The secretary comforted him.
The minister nodded, then he cheered up, "Get me a cup of coffee."
The secretary quickly said, "Minister, you haven't rested for several days … Why don't you go back and rest for half a day? Besides, Dr. French was also frightened this time. Don't … don't you want to go home and see him? "
The minister was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Didn't he ask Billy's people to send him home?"
The secretary said, "The doctor didn't go back. He went directly to the university's laboratory. I heard that he has been running to the place where Mr. Billy was hospitalized these two days, but the bodyguards didn't let him pass. As for Mr. Billy, although the operation was very successful, he hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said that he lost too much blood and was infected with some bacteria. He has been having a high fever these two days. "
The minister rubbed his forehead, "How did he get in touch with Billy … Is he still looking for sponsorship for the satellite launch plan? He keeps doing things that are thankless … This stubborn guy. "
"Minister …"
"Okay, I know." The minister waved his hand, "I still have a few documents to read, and I have a meeting in the afternoon. I have to go to the presidential palace before five o 'clock. As for the rest … let's talk about it when I'm free. "
"Okay, then I'll go out too." The secretary nodded.
…
…
‘WHITE-HELL’
Beside the lamppost opposite the door of the White Hell Bar, Caroline and Arnold were sizing it up. They had been here for half an hour.
After several discussions, Caroline decided to find Haili in order to prove her innocence. The only clue was that Livia had mentioned that she and her boyfriend had dated in this' White Hell 'several times.
According to what Arnold said about Haili, Caroline felt that a punk like Haili should know the people in 'White Hell', so maybe she could get information about Haili from some of the bar's staff.
"It's not open yet." Arnold frowned.
Because of the strange weather, many places in the city were not yet electrified. As for the people in the city, they were busy cleaning up the damage caused by the weather. The sides of the road were now very deserted.
"I'm afraid it won't be open today." Arnold looked at Caroline and said helplessly.
Caroline's face had a trace of irritation. She had smoked one woman's cigarette after another, and there were already seven or eight cigarette butts on the ground.
Arnold frowned and snatched the cigarette that Caroline had just lit. He threw it on the ground and stepped on it to extinguish it, "Relax, you're not in a good state."
"Don't worry about me." Caroline frowned, then walked straight to the door of 'White Hell'.
Arnold had no choice but to quickly follow her.
He didn't know who said that he should never confront a woman who had made up her mind. This was because such a woman was more stubborn than a man.
Arnold felt that Caroline might be this type. She was slamming the door of 'White Hell' hard.
But it seemed that this simple and crude method worked well. Soon, 'White Hell' opened, and a burly man covered in tattoos opened the door impatiently. "What's the matter? We're not open for business today. Hurry up! "
"I want to ask you something!" Caroline said quickly. At the same time, she took out a few banknotes from her bag, "You'll get paid."
"Miss, you really know the rules. Tell me, what do you want to ask?" It was obviously not the first time someone had asked him something, so he skillfully stuffed Caroline's banknotes into his pocket.
"Have you seen Haili? Do you know where he has been recently? "Caroline asked straightforwardly.
The burly man was stunned. He opened his mouth, frowned, and took out the money that was stuffed into his pocket, "Are you kidding me? Isn't Haili right next to you? "
Caroline was startled and subconsciously looked at Arnold beside her. The latter just gave her a helpless smile, "This is not the first time I've done this kind of thing … You saw it too, right?"
With that said, Arnold didn't explain too much. He just took out his ID card and waved it in front of the burly man, "Look carefully, my name is Arnold. The Haili you mentioned and I are twins. Now Haili is missing, and I can't find him, so I came here to ask you. "
The burly man held the ID card in his hand. After looking back and forth a few times, he grabbed his hair, "Is this ID card fake? I've never heard him say that he has a twin brother. "
Arnold said indifferently, "If you don't believe me, I can go to the police station with you to check if this ID card is real."
The burly man shook his head and returned the item to Arnold. He then shrugged, but quickly stuffed the banknotes that he had just taken out back into his pocket, "I haven't seen this guy for more than a month. Sorry, I don't know where he is now. "
"Then the last time you saw him, what was he doing? Did he say anything about his body? "Caroline asked.
The burly man was very cooperative after receiving the money. He shrugged and said, "What else could that guy be doing? Isn't he just picking up girls here? The last time I saw him, he should have just picked up a prostitute. "
"Prostitute?" Caroline frowned.
The burly man smiled and said, "I forgot her name, but that woman has hooked up with a few men here. I've done it a few times, so I recognize her. I also talked about this with Haili, saying that this woman is very coquettish, and her skills in bed must be very good! Then Haili made his move … Hey, this guy is actually not bad looking. He looks decent after dressing up. It didn't take long for him to hook up with her. "
Caroline's brows were almost twisted into three lines.
She couldn't help but feel sad for Livia.
Livia told her that her boyfriend had never known her identity and profession. She didn't expect that the other party had already known about it and had come for this.
She was afraid that he knew that Livia was Adam's call girl and had planned to cheat money and sex from Livia from the beginning.
"Oh … By the way, maybe you can go to a place where you can find Haili." The burly man seemed to have remembered something.
"Say it." Caroline glared at him.
But the burly man pursed his lips and had a strange smile on his face. Caroline glared at him again before reluctantly taking out a few more bills and slapping them on the burly man's chest.
"Kata Club." The burly man smiled and said, "Once he drank too much and said that he got a temporary job there, but I don't know if he's still doing it now."
As he spoke, he stared at Arnold beside Caroline with a strange gaze, then rubbed his chin, and the smell of his strange smile became stronger.
Arnold frowned and said, "What kind of place is Kata Club?"
Caroline said coldly, "A place where rich women and some guys with special sexual fetishes find men."
"Miss, you know quite a bit? Have you played there before? "The burly man laughed strangely.
"Shut your mouth!" Caroline gave him a cold look, then turned and walked away angrily. Arnold had no choice but to quickly follow.
…
The two of them soon disappeared from the burly man's sight.
The burly man didn't care. He happily counted the consulting fees he got from Caroline and even whistled. But at this moment, he heard the crisp sound of footsteps.
A woman in a black dress and a black umbrella was walking in front of him and then stopped.
This woman was very pale and looked abnormally weak. The woman looked up and sized up the door of White Hell, and the burly man also saw her face clearly.
The burly man was used to mingling in brothels, so he couldn't help but say, "Hey, beauty, there's a power outage here, so we're not open at night. But I can open a private room for you. Do you want to come in and play? I'll treat you to a drink! "
"White Hell … White Hell." The woman smiled slightly. "There's a place with such a name?"
"Cool, right?" The burly man was quite proud.
The woman chuckled and said, "Inside … is really Hell. Are there demons?"
"Do you like demons?" The burly man laughed and then flexed the muscles on his chest. "Demons are not as strong as me."
"Then please let me see it." The woman with the black umbrella smiled sweetly. "My family and I happen to be homeless now, so we're planning to find a place to stay."
With that, the woman showed a seductive look, then walked past the burly man and went straight into the White Hell bar.
The burly man showed an infatuated look, then he turned around and slowly followed in with a dull look.
Not long after, a blood-curdling scream was heard.
In front of the door, a bloody hand reached out and grabbed the door. But in the blink of an eye, the hand quickly loosened, as if it was dragged in by something.
The gate fell down with a loud thud.
