When the public security team arrived, they saw a scene where a group of people lay on the ground, with only Tang Li standing.
"Ms. Tang, this..."
A female security officer in uniform approached Tang Li and asked.
Tang Li recognized the voice as the one that had answered her call earlier.
A total of 32 people lay on the ground.
Of these, only 24 were alive, and their jaws and limbs had been dislocated.
The remaining 8 were already dead.
"I did not cause any loss of life."
Tang Li pointed to the people on the ground and explained to the officer:
"These individuals committed suicide by poisoning, and I couldn't stop them in time."
"These were killed by their own companions, and I couldn't stop them either."
"As for the rest, I dislocated their jaws and limbs to prevent them from committing suicide or killing their companions while I was not paying attention."
Hearing Tang Li's explanation, the arriving security officers were surprised.
Several officers stepped forward and pried open the mouths of these individuals, discovering that, as Tang Li had said, they all had poison sacs in their mouths.
After having the forensic team examine the deceased pursuers and review the surveillance footage, they found that the events had indeed unfolded exactly as Tang Li described.
Instantly, everyone's expressions turned serious, realizing the situation was not simple.
Tang Li was also taken back to the public security team, where she recounted the entire sequence of events.
"Initially, although I sensed someone was tracking me, the pursuers would rotate every so often, so I wasn't sure."
"It wasn't until today, when they became more persistent, that I was certain I was being followed."
"I immediately called you to report. What happened next is what you have seen."
"As requested, I didn't harm anyone. I just didn't expect them to commit suicide themselves..."
When asked why these people went to such lengths to track her, Tang Li shook her head in confusion.
While Tang Li was very beautiful, no one believed that trackers who deployed so many personnel, acted so professionally, and committed suicide at the slightest provocation were motivated by lust.
There must have been an unknown secret involved, harboring immense interests.
"However, I suspect it was the two R-country individuals, Tanaka and Watanabe, from the Jiangcheng Research Institute."
"Due to my special physique, I previously participated in a brain-computer interface interaction experiment by Researcher Song Pinxuan, and am currently participating in experiments related to brain-computer interfaces in his independent research laboratory."
"Those two R-country individuals also wanted me to participate in one of their experiments, which I refused. Perhaps they intended to capture me directly for their experiment."
"Or, perhaps they wanted to obtain information about the brain-computer interface related experiments I am involved in?"
"However, these are just my speculations."
"You have apprehended 24 survivors, don't you? You can interrogate them to find out the reason."
Seeing that Tang Li genuinely seemed unaware of anything, the public security team released her.
Watching Tang Li's receding figure, the female security officer who had previously taken Tang Li's call remarked, "This young lady, she speaks half-truths, she's not simple!"
After leaving the public security team, Tang Li found a place with no people and no surveillance, disguised herself, and went to the black market.
However, today, after disguising herself, she didn't go directly to the black market.
Instead, she first drove the modified car she had acquired from the R-country individuals to Jiangcheng Shelter No. 4, which was the industrial zone, and then, after switching to the truck loaded with materials ordered by Song Pinxuan, she headed to the black market.
Although she departed earlier than usual, her arrival time at the black market was later than before.
After delivering the materials needed by Song Pinxuan, she then made two round trips to the black market with a pickup truck and a van to deliver today's electronics and water resources, collected yesterday's earnings, and only then returned to her original appearance and went home.
While Tang Li was in disguise, her own mobile phone was placed in her spatial storage.
Furthermore, it was stored in a way that removed its original physical presence. When she took it out, it was not in its initial state of being placed in the space, but rather a copied version from the last time it was placed in the space.
After disguising herself, Tang Li took out her phone, and it immediately began to chime.
Many missed calls and some text messages appeared on it.
Among them, some were from Song Pinxuan, and others displayed official numbers.
Tang Li was a little puzzled, not knowing why they were calling her.
However, she still called the official number back first.
"Hello, Ms. Tang, we are from the Jiangcheng Security Department, the special investigation team for the 6.3 fire case."
As soon as the call was connected, a stern and authoritative voice came from the other end.
