The Fusang Martial Arts School is located in a very important area within the inner city, so the patrol officers outside couldn't simply ignore such a commotion. If they did, they would be charged with dereliction of duty. Therefore, sirens are blaring outside. As they had previously agreed with the Fusang Martial Arts School, who had given them substantial gifts, they were assured that they wouldn't need to investigate whatever happened inside. However, there were simply too many reports, and with so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries nearby, this situation could escalate into serious trouble if left unattended. So, they had no choice but to come and investigate. If ordinary people were to report a crime, they could easily find an excuse to get away with it. Let's see if these people can get away with it.
These people are very clear-headed. If it were ordinary people, they would just need a reason and they wouldn't pursue the matter. But these important figures are afraid of death. Seeing that there was a fight at the Fusang Martial Arts School, and that the level of the fight was not low, they knew that if it got involved, they would not be able to save their own lives. Many important figures are ordinary people, so they wear all kinds of protective gear. But their instinct to fear death will not change, so they will never allow such a thing to happen.
Following the usual practice of the patrol officers, no matter how late it was, they would always turn on their alarms. They knew very well that when their alarms were on, the criminals nearby would hear them and usually retreat. It wasn't that they wanted to turn them on; it was for their own safety. If they didn't turn them on, they would have to fight those criminals. How could they be sure they could win? If they were lucky, they might save their lives; if they were unlucky, they might lose their lives. So, they were doing the same thing today, hoping that the criminals would leave on their own and that they would stay to investigate. Nobody wanted to run into these criminals head-on; a head-on encounter would only result in losses on their side.
But today's situation is a little different. When they arrived around the martial arts school, they found that the area had been cordoned off by others. Moreover, it didn't seem to be their colleagues; they were all people in military uniforms. These people didn't seem very easy to talk to, so there was nothing they could do.
"What's wrong with you people? It's the middle of the night, and you've all turned off your sirens. Do you think you can just blare them here? Are the local residents going to die? Just wait patiently on the sidelines. This has nothing to do with you anymore. We've taken over this area. Here are our operational documents. Just keep a close watch on the people around here. Absolutely no one is allowed to come in. There are some confidential matters inside, but don't ask what they are. Asking too many questions won't do you any good. Your task is to set up a blockade here. No one inside is allowed to leave, and no one outside is allowed to enter. Do you understand what I'm saying? I don't want to repeat myself."
As soon as they opened their windows, a man in military uniform approached. He first handed them some documents, and before they could even read them, he rattled off a bunch of tasks. Under normal circumstances, these men would have protested, thinking, "So what if you're in uniform? We're all in the same boat. What can you do to us?" But one of the older men recognized a car ahead. He knew it wasn't an ordinary car; it belonged to the Human Investigation Bureau. Even their superiors, let alone those in the patrol station, had to treat the Human Investigation Bureau with utmost respect. Otherwise, they'd face consequences, and forget about promotions and wealth—their lives would be in danger.
“Sir, what you said may be true, but we have also received a series of calls. If we don’t go over, it will be difficult for us to explain. The people who called the police are not ordinary people; they are all officials with much higher ranks than us. But if we just stay here, we can’t guarantee what the outcome will be when those people ask us questions. It might cause trouble for all of us. Do you think we could try to communicate with these people? If anything happens, we will have something to say.”
Although we saw the Human Investigation Bureau personnel, there are still some things we need to do. We're just street patrollers, practically at the bottom of the city's civil service. We can't afford to offend anyone above us. Take those people who just made the phone call, for example. People who can afford to live in this area can afford prices of around 150,000 per square meter. Are they ordinary people? If we lose our jobs because of offending them, we'll have nowhere to turn. But that's how the world is. A single word from them can cost you your job. If you don't respect them, it's like you don't respect your job. They all have elderly parents and young children to support. Who can afford to lose that?
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just tell them the truth. Call them one by one and tell them that the Human Investigation Bureau is handling this. If they have any complaints, give them this number and someone will explain it to them. Unless they're suicidal, no one will call. Tell them that a series of exercises are being conducted here. As for what kind of exercises, let them call and ask themselves. Just say that you don't have the authority and that you shouldn't cause trouble. Get back to work. We don't have time to waste on you. If you delay things, none of us will keep our heads. Get to work!"
This guy was being relatively polite. If it were someone less polite, they would have kicked you out long ago, no matter what you wanted to say. Those people have no bottom line and wouldn't even look at useless patrol officers like you. They wouldn't even bother to explain themselves to you.
