Chapter 44 The Situation

Nan City Military Police Department.

Tonight, it was as lively as a night market.

Police cars howled back and forth, a dozen vehicles making seven or eight trips to bring back all the criminals and victims.

Yuan Wen performed a simple classification of these criminals, taking some core members to the interrogation room. As for the peripheral small fries, she threw them directly into the detention center, preparing to wait for the law court's indictment notice.

In addition, she also received some family members of the victims who came after hearing the news.

The military police department late at night was like a large-scale family reunion event. Many people saw their missing daughters, sisters, and wives, and they embraced each other and wept.

But there were also some people standing in the crowd, constantly calling out the names of their missing family members, but receiving no response.

In the end, those who did not find their missing family members seemed to realize something, collapsing to the ground, losing all their strength, and wailing.

All aspects of human life were reflected here.

Yuan Wen sent people to comfort the family members, and then some people accompanied their injured family members to the hospital. The number of people in the military police department slowly decreased.

It wasn't until about four o'clock in the morning that Yuan Wen sent all the victims away.

However, before she could rest, the military police responsible for interrogating the criminals ran over with a solemn expression.

Seeing the other party's expression, Yuan Wen immediately knew that something must have gone wrong during the interrogation.

"Did something come up during the interrogation?" Yuan Wen asked softly.

"Yes." The military police nodded, looking very ugly.

"In what area?" Yuan Wen asked again, striding towards the interrogation room.

"Related to those big figures who made deals with this cult." The military police followed behind Yuan Wen, introducing the situation: "Among them, some people's identities are very… very special!"

The Common People Self-Salvation Society kidnapped and sold women, constituting a crime, but those who made deals with them also violated the law. In terms of human trafficking, the crimes of the buyers and sellers are the same.

Moreover, the buyers may also be guilty of rape, abuse, imprisonment, and other crimes, so as soon as Yuan Wen returned to the military police department, she immediately arranged for interrogation, and based on the transaction accounts, she would pull out all the buyers and let them receive the punishment they deserved!

"Special identity?" Yuan Wen raised her eyebrows, unimpressed. "How special?"

"Especially… special!" The military police said very helplessly.

"Stop beating around the bush! Speak!" Yuan Wen scolded.

"Yes…" The military police lowered his voice and whispered in Yuan Wen's ear.

Yuan Wen's pupils suddenly shrank when she heard this.

"First, block the news. No one is allowed to enter Interrogation Room 1! Seal up the accounts and the USB drive as well. Without my signature, no one is allowed to open them privately!"

…

"Why did you have to call me over in the middle of the night?"

Half an hour later, Yuan Zhenghong, neatly dressed, and Yang Yong, the director of the military police department, appeared in the hall of the military police department. Yuan Zhenghong's eyes were still bloodshot, obviously, he had been awakened from his sleep and rushed over with lingering fatigue.

During this period, Yuan Zhenghong had been staying in Nan City. He was looking for someone like Li Tianran, but after searching in vain, he decided to inspect the Nan City Military Police Department for a period of time and select a few people from the military police team to take away.

While he was here, Yang Yong naturally retreated to the second line, and all actions of the military police department were under Yuan Zhenghong's command.

"Let's talk in the office." Yuan Wen glanced at the hall of the military police department, and some military police officers looked here with some doubts.

Yuan Zhenghong was silent for a moment, then followed Yuan Wen into the office next door and closed the door.

Yang Yong stood alone outside the door, looking a little embarrassed.

However, being able to reach this position, his mental resilience was naturally first-class. His face didn't change much at the moment. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back by the window in the corridor, waiting quietly.

…

In the office, Yuan Zhenghong sat on the sofa and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on?"

Yuan Wen walked over and told Yuan Zhenghong the whole story of the church incident in a low voice.

"A cult that trafficks people?" Yuan Zhenghong stroked his chin and said in a deep voice, "Now that the world has changed and the number of military police is scarce, all kinds of demons and monsters are beginning to appear…"

"Although we have arrested people, I don't know how to write the case report. How should I write about Li Tianran? After all, many people saw Li Tianran at the time. We can't possibly kill them all, can we?" Yuan Wen asked helplessly.

"It's this young man again…" Yuan Zhenghong said with a solemn expression: "He's gone too far. Since he didn't agree to my recruitment, he's not one of us and has no right to kill and judge!"

Listening to Yuan Zhenghong's words, Yuan Wen's heart beat faster.

"He is ignoring the law, which will make the situation worse." Yuan Zhenghong suddenly asked, "Where is he?"

Yuan Wen was a little unnatural, deliberately changing the subject: "Actually, I wouldn't dare to bother you in the middle of the night just because of Li Tianran…"

"It's just that… this case has encountered a big problem!"

"With solid evidence, arrest those who should be arrested, and sentence those who should be sentenced! What's the problem?" Yuan Zhenghong asked.

"Those people who made deals with the cult have special identities." Yuan Wen said, "A large part of them are big figures in Nan City…"

"In the current situation, wartime regulations have already been activated! No matter what big figures they are, as long as they violate the regulations and break the law, they will be severely punished!" Yuan Zhenghong waved his hand extremely domineeringly and said, "You should arrest whoever you need to arrest, and don't care whether those scum are wealthy merchants or CEOs! I'll back you up!"

A trace of worry appeared in Yuan Wen's eyes, and she slowly sighed: "If it were just a group of wealthy merchants and CEOs, I wouldn't have to be so embarrassed."

Yuan Zhenghong frowned, and a "川" character appeared between his eyebrows. He heard the unusualness in Yuan Wen's words, and he thought of a terrible possibility. His eyes shot out light like sharp swords, and he stood up with a swish, asking in a low voice: "Don't tell me… among those scum, there are… there are…"

Yuan Wen didn't say a word, dipped some water from the teacup next to her with her finger, and wrote a word on the desk.

Yuan Zhenghong looked down, his right hand suddenly clenched into a fist and slammed it on the table.

"You go out first, I need to think about how to arrest these people…" Yuan Zhenghong was like a boiling volcano that hadn't erupted yet, and an aura of murderous intent rolled from his body, engulfing the entire office.

On the desk, the word written in tea was very simple.

"权."

The quán (power) of power.

Yuan Zhenghong stared at the word, the fire in his eyes almost materialized and shot out, burning everything!
