Chapter Summary
Their superiors were after them, and there were many they couldn't afford to offend. Now that they had this number, they could call it if they wanted to explain, but they doubted their superiors would call it, as everyone could trace the number. The economic losses inside will definitely be huge, but judging from the faces of these Human Investigation Bureau personnel, they don't care about these things at all.
These patrol officers acted as if they had received a royal decree. Their long-winded explanations were simply a ploy to find someone to take the blame. They couldn't afford to be the ones to take the fall; they were all low-level personnel. If they had powerful backers, they could be staying obediently in the control room, never needing to come out here. The problem was, they had no backers. Their superiors were after them, and there were many they couldn't afford to offend. Therefore, they needed a phone number. Now that they had this number, they could call it if they wanted to explain, but they doubted their superiors would call it, as everyone could trace the number. Calling it would offend the Human Investigation Bureau.
How much power does the Human Investigation Bureau wield? They know it all too well. If they suspect you, they can show their credentials and arrest you at any time, and you have no right to appeal. This includes some higher-ranking individuals. In human society, they can do whatever they want, and they also have the support of the military. If you dare to resist, the military won't let you off the hook either. So, while those rich and powerful people are very domineering towards ordinary citizens, they all become like kittens when facing the Human Investigation Bureau, and no one dares to say a word. Therefore, those people are destined to stay inside. If it were any other blockade, they could easily get out by saying a few nice words to someone. But this is a blockade by the Human Investigation Bureau, so we can only stay here obediently, with no chance of getting out.
“Captain, what exactly happened in here? If there's some serious crime, they should have asked us to go in and help. At least we know the situation inside, while these guys don't know anything about it. If they just rummage around in there, they might offend a lot of people in the know. Those guys aren't to be trifled with. So even though these guys are from the Human Investigation Bureau, they can still file complaints against them later. The Human Investigation Bureau isn't necessarily that powerful, is it?”
A newly arrived patrolman had just been scolded, so he was feeling a bit annoyed and started grumbling in the car. The person next to him immediately slapped him on the shoulder, saying, "Don't you know what time it is? You're talking so arrogantly! It's one thing if you get arrested, but don't drag all of us down with you. You know what kind of person you are. We all want to live a good life here. We've all worked so hard to get this job, and we can't let you make us lose our jobs because of something you say. Even if you die, you won't get our jobs back."
"Hey kid, are you out of your mind? If you really are, I'll find you a job on the outskirts of the city. There are cases there 24/7. If you want to take charge, that's a good place. But watch your mouth when you speak. Can't you see who these people are? Do you think they care who you are? Even if our boss were standing here, he'd have to be polite to them. What do you care what's going on in the city? What can those guys in hats do? They're only a little tough on us. If you let them face the Human Investigation Bureau, would they dare say a single harsh word?"
The captain said irritably, and the little guy didn't dare to say a word. It seemed he had really offended someone earlier, otherwise the captain wouldn't have taken action. Although everyone usually swore and cursed, there was at least a bottom line. Today, the captain had really angered him. Just as he was thinking of something to say to ease the tension, he saw more than 2,000 soldiers coming from behind. These soldiers were carrying heavy weapons, which meant that something extraordinary had happened. The guy didn't dare to speak anymore. He had dared to joke earlier, but now he couldn't utter a single word. People who grew up in the city generally don't have much courage. If they had been tempered in the wild, they would be able to sense that something was unusual here. But unfortunately, this kid had been born in the city and had no idea what the wild was like.
"Look, it looks like there's a fire inside..."
After they finished setting up the cordon, they discovered a raging fire inside. They could see the flames from their position. Firefighters arrived, but they weren't allowed inside, just like the others. Even if it was on fire, they weren't permitted to enter. The people were puzzled. The residents here weren't ordinary people, and the flames they'd just witnessed were no ordinary fire. If their homes had burned down, the losses would be enormous. Even if they were from the Human Investigation Bureau, they would be held responsible. They wondered what had happened inside that prevented them from even fighting the fire. Was it really that serious? They exchanged glances and fell silent.
Some newcomers naturally don't understand how serious this situation is, but those who have been on the job for a long time are very clear about it. In this situation, it's best to keep your mouth shut and not listen to anything said outside. If the higher-ups want to clean up the scene, do you think they're just cleaning up the trash on the ground? They'll probably clean up everyone around you too. At that time, no matter what you say, the Human Investigation Bureau personnel won't say a word. They'll just treat you like an ordinary person and deal with you however they want. Don't think that such a thing won't happen. In this situation, anything can happen. The economic losses inside will definitely be huge, but judging from the faces of these Human Investigation Bureau personnel, they don't care about these things at all. They'll do whatever they want, which shows that the outcome they're waiting for is more important.
The people outside were also puzzled. How many things in our city actually require attention? Judging from the current situation, there shouldn't be many. If all these things were to converge here, that would be truly bizarre. Everyone can see the current situation clearly; how much could there possibly be to worry about?
