The mutant D-class ability user A'Kai died, and Sasu and Pete fled with Dr. Sim. The other ability users, leaderless, were quickly rounded up by the cultivators of the Special Investigation Bureau!
By the time Tang Qin, Han Lang, and the third person returned, everyone had basically started cleaning up and securing the battlefield.
"Captain Tang, in this operation, we eliminated 13 C-class ability users, 6 B-class, and one D-class. We captured 10 C-class and 7 B-class alive!"
Listening to the subordinate's report, Tang Qin nodded, then pointed to A'Wen, who was being carried on Tang Geng's shoulder, and replied, "We have an A-class alive here too, take him back with us! By the way, what about our casualties?"
"Six brothers sustained minor injuries, no serious injuries or fatalities! This operation of ours was perfect! Heh heh..."
Seeing the subordinate unable to suppress his laughter, Tang Qin was genuinely happy.
Destroying the enemy's criminal base without any losses was the most gratifying thing for the Investigation Bureau!
"That's good!"
As they were speaking, another subordinate suddenly came to report.
"Captain Tang! We discovered a young male in one of the villa's rooms. Preliminary investigation revealed he is the Wang family's young master, Wang Fei. Furthermore, with his assistance, we found the ability user modification base in the basement, along with researchers conducting research work! In addition, there are other illegally detained Wang family members, including the body of the Wang family patriarch, Wang Zizai, frozen in a freezer!"
After hearing the report, Tang Qin immediately became tense.
These were all crucial pieces of evidence to accuse the Gou family!
"Where is he? Take me there immediately!"
Just as she was about to leave, Tang Qin turned back as if remembering something and quickly instructed.
"Old Yang, we will be interacting with civilians next, so we need to change our identities!"
"Quickly arrange for the brothers to take the ability users here and the bodies of those killed back to the Investigation Bureau, and complete the aftermath work here as soon as possible!"
"In addition, the researchers from the ability user base must also be taken back, and have the technical department colleagues enter the base to see if they can find any data on their ability user modifications!"
"Also, seal off the scene immediately!"
Old Yang received the order and immediately rushed to carry out the aftermath work. Tang Qin also beckoned Han Lang and the others to step into the Wang family villa together.
In the villa's second-floor hall, Wang Fei and other Wang family members were temporarily settled, while several Investigation Bureau colleagues, posing as police officers, were there to comfort everyone.
As Tang Qin and the others came up, Wang Fei immediately found Ma Long and Han Lang in the crowd.
He immediately rushed over, sobbing, and knelt at their feet to express his gratitude.
"Han Lang! This hero, thank you! Thank you for saving my entire Wang family!"
Han Lang and Ma Long were caught off guard and quickly helped Wang Fei up, comforting him, "You're too kind, Wang Fei! We didn't do this just for you!"
Just as Wang Fei was starting to feel confused, Tang Qin suddenly stepped forward, extended her hand friendly, and said, "Hello! Young Master Wang. I am Tang Qin, Deputy Captain of the Le City Criminal Investigation Brigade! Han Lang and Ma Long, whom you just thanked, are auxiliary police officers of our Criminal Investigation Brigade. So, you really don't need to be like this! Because maintaining the safety of people's lives and property is their duty!"
Han Lang and Ma Long were speechless at these grand pronouncements. Ma Long, in particular, didn't know when he had become an auxiliary police officer!
However, under the current circumstances, it was indeed inconvenient to let Wang Fei know about cultivators, so despite their dissatisfaction, they could only let it go.
Wang Fei, on the other hand, felt enlightened by this explanation.
"Oh, oh! So that's how it is! But I still have to thank you, Han Lang. If you hadn't sent people to investigate despite our past grievances, my family and I might not have seen the light of day again. I sincerely apologize for my immature actions before!"
"I'm sorry!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply to Han Lang.
Han Lang quickly helped him up while looking at Tang Qin with a meaningful, sarcastic tone, "You're welcome! I'm just serving the people!"
Wang Fei then looked up and happened to catch sight of Tang Haoran at the back of the crowd.
For a moment, his eyes widened in shock, and he pointed at Tang Haoran in terror, saying to Tang Qin, "He... isn't he Mr. Tang Haoran, the head of the Tang family, the foremost of the four great families! How...?"
Then he looked at Tang Qin and asked incoherently, "Your name is Tang Qin? Are you... the Tang family's... eldest daughter?"
Looking at the surprised Wang Fei, Tang Qin stared at him with a stern expression and replied, "I'm sorry, Young Master Wang! We are currently handling a case, so there is no eldest daughter of the Tang family here, only Tang Qin, Deputy Captain of the Le City Criminal Investigation Brigade!"
Tang Haoran also responded at the appropriate time, "And there is no head of a great family, only Tang Haoran, former captain of the Le City Criminal Investigation Brigade!"
Wang Fei was stunned!
But could the words spoken by the heads of the Tang family and the eldest daughter of the Tang family, the foremost of the four great families, be false?
As he was in a daze, Tang Qin immediately asked, "Young Master Wang, why was your family imprisoned in your own villa? Also, how did your father, Wang Zizai, die? Who was the killer?"
Under the pressure of their identities and Tang Qin's continuous questioning, Wang Fei completely dispelled all doubts about their identities, firmly believing that everything that happened to the Wang family was just an ordinary criminal case.
"It's like this, Officer Tang! All of us in the Wang family were imprisoned because the Gou family coveted our property, and my father's death was also caused by him..."
Wang Fei recounted everything that had happened to the Wang family, including the ability users whom he did not understand well.
Tang Qin signaled to the Investigation Bureau colleagues taking notes, and then deliberately asked again solemnly.
"Are you sure the Gou family was conducting activities related to ability users in your villa?"
Wang Fei nodded without hesitation, "Certain!"
Then he asked doubtfully, "What exactly is an ability user?"
Tang Qin first exchanged a look with the colleague taking notes, confirmed that the other party had properly recorded this crucial piece of evidence, and then slowly replied.
"I suspect you might have misheard! I've never heard of ability users, only of a foreign biochemical weapon called an 'ability bomb.' So, Young Master Wang, you need to think clearly, this one-word difference could lead to a change in the case!"
Han Lang and the others knew Tang Qin's intentions clearly and immediately cooperated, "Yes! Wang Fei, you might have gotten it wrong! There's a difference between ability users and ability bombs. If you let the Gou family exploit it, they might accuse you of defamation!"
Hearing this, Wang Fei immediately became hesitant, "This... I really didn't hear it clearly! And I don't know what ability users or ability bombs are, I... I..."
Just then, an Investigation Bureau colleague rushed up from downstairs. He pretended to lean close to Tang Qin's ear but deliberately reported loudly, "Captain Tang, we found a lot of ability bomb research equipment and researchers in the basement. Should we take them back?"
Tang Qin replied loudly, "Of course! Ability bombs are of great importance, and we must report them quickly!"
Hearing this, Wang Fei was completely convinced that he had misheard and quickly corrected himself to Tang Qin and the others, "Officer Tang! I'm sure now, it's ability bombs! It's definitely ability bombs!"
Tang Qin and the others smiled.
"Are you sure?"
Wang Fei nodded frantically, "Sure, sure! It must be ability bombs!"
Tang Qin inwardly laughed but deliberately nodded with a forced smile, "Alright! I have the basic situation. You and your family can rest here for a while, and later cooperate with other colleagues to record a detailed statement at the police station, okay?"
Wang Fei quickly agreed, "Okay, okay! Thank you, Officer Tang, please help me seek justice for my father!"
"Don't worry!"
