Montaigne once said: Silence and humility are social virtues.
So in order to appear more virtuous, when Xia Chuluo asked, "Who has any opinion?", everyone present fell silent.
Not because of cowardice.
It’s not because I don’t want to take responsibility.
…
Three hour flight.
Baker City has arrived.
Many on the investigation team had not been to Baker City in more than ten years.
Two of them even came here for the first time in their lives.
Before the crash of the floating city, there were few connections between the nine cities.
There are no highways, high-speed trains, etc. between cities, so you can only travel by plane.
There are many daring people who risk their lives by taking cars across no-man’s land. This behavior used to be called stowaway. However, the dangers in no-man’s land are too great and there are very few people who can survive. Therefore, many cities have acquiesced to stowaway. Behavior.
Yin Liuyue came here illegally. She was luckier than others and met Dr. Jiang.
An accompanying public relations officer got off the plane, raised the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said with emotion: "I am nearly thirty years old, and I have been traveling back and forth in several major areas of Mowu City, and I have never had time to visit other cities. "
An old executive next to her smiled and said: "You should try not to come to this city alone, and if you come, don't go out at night."
He said he served on a mission here in Baker City several years ago.
That was also his first time here.
I was hungry at night and wanted to go out to buy some midnight snacks, but all the surrounding streets were closed.
No one does business at all at night.
Many residents have customized defense systems for their houses, lowering steel panels at night to block all threats from outside.
“Baker City is even more chaotic now.”
"So being born in Mowu City is actually a great blessing. The population of Mowu City has grown quite rapidly in recent years, and some of them came from Baker City."
There are already dedicated personnel in Baker City to greet them.
Since Wei Bo'an didn't arrive in person, there wasn't such a big pomp.
Xia Chuluo is a straightforward girl.
"Forget everything else and just take me to see the suspect."
"this… "
The person in charge of greeting her obviously didn't expect her to be so straightforward.
Lu Wen smiled and said: "Please take us there first. It shouldn't take too long. If you have anything else to do, we can talk about it after it's over. You're all busy."
"no problem."
Everyone got into the cars arranged by Baker City, all of which were bulletproof.
The tall concrete buildings are covered with craters, and the steel jungle is crooked.
Vehicles drive on broken city roads.
The sound of gunfire could be heard constantly along the way.
The chaos spread from night to day, and the whole process only took a month or two.
Half an hour later.
At two o'clock in the afternoon that day, the destination arrived.
"The suspect Lu Kai is being held inside, and we have prepared a separate interrogation room."
"Um."
"Here is all the information on the suspect, Executive Officer Xia, you..."
"No, I'll go in and take a look first."
…
at the same time.
The voices from the outside world never stopped.
I don’t know who revealed the news.
[Mowu City dispatched an investigation team to Baker City]
This news immediately made all the melon-eating people excited.
"As we all know, when it comes to major accidents like this, official statements often come very quickly. It's already been half a day, and there is no news at all from Baker City."
"Obviously all the news is true. It's just that the two cities are worried about people losing control of their emotions, so they are stalling for time and waiting for the storm to pass."
People from both Baker City and Mauwu City do not need a translator to communicate.
So the quarrel was particularly vigorous.
Both sides hold their own opinions.
Most residents of Baker City felt that it was already obvious that Mowu City sent people there.
The people here in Mowu City were all right at this moment, saying that the reason why the two cities had not released any news for so long was that the high-level officials obviously knew that someone was deliberately causing trouble.
This turmoil has involved residents of both cities, and its scope of influence is getting wider and wider.
The number of discussions per minute is skyrocketing.
There is no other reason... The residents who are unemployed at home are too idle.
If they don't argue with people on the Internet, they really won't have anything to do.
This kind of quarrel for the city can, to some extent, increase the sense of collective honor.
…
"Snapped!"
The interrogation room door closed.
A group of people gathered outside, staring intently at the situation inside.
The huge single-sided see-through glass allows them to see clearly.
Sitting inside were Xia Chuluo and the suspect Lu Kai.
A person in charge from Baker City asked in a low voice: "Did Miss Xia read the suspect's information on the way here?"
Lu Wen shook his head.
"No, I guess the only thing she knew about the suspect before she came in was the name 'Lu Kai'."
"Then how will she be interrogated?"
"Don't worry, everything she saw after entering the interrogation room was material."
The interrogation had already begun.
The first person to speak was not Xia Chuluo, but the suspect.
Lu Kai sat carelessly, with boredom written all over his face. After seeing Xia Chuluo, he turned to face the one-way mirror and shouted loudly: "You don't have anyone in Baker City anymore? Why did you send a girl in?"
Then he turned his head again, raised his chin slightly, and spoke in a frivolous tone.
"Little girl, how old are you this year? How can you be an executive at such a young age? The average lifespan in your profession is not long. Wouldn't it be nice to find a man to marry and take care of the children every day?"
Xia Chuluo looked at him calmly with an indifferent expression.
Lu Kai didn't speak when he saw her.
His expression turned to regret again, and he shook his head and said: "Well, even if there is really no one in Baker City, you can just send a man here to show respect to me. I have to send a woman here. Little girl, you are an intern." Is it over? Have you become a permanent member?”
"Do you feel insulted?" Xia Chuluo asked lightly.
"Of course it's an insult!" Lu Kai received the response, snorted lightly, and continued: "I know you want to show off, but even if it's just a show, it doesn't necessarily have to be a woman."
"oppression?"
"What do you mean?"
Lu Kai didn't react.
He didn't understand what Xia Chuluo meant by these two words.
Xia Chuluo said calmly: "You have been oppressed by a woman with a higher status than you, maybe your company boss, or your mother or sister at home. You were bullied, but you didn't dare to resist. This It creates disgust and resistance in your heart, extending from a single woman to all women, so even if you are now free from that oppression, you still need to verbally demean women to give you an abnormal sense of satisfaction.”
"You... hum, I didn't expect Baker City to investigate quite clearly."
Lu Kai snorted coldly and did not give a specific answer.
This was considered an admission, but he only felt that what Xia Chuluo said came from the investigation completed in Baker City.
That person promised him that he would erase his identity information, but he didn't expect to be investigated by Baker City.
City Machine is really awesome.
At this time, outside the interrogation room.
Several people in charge in Baker City were in a daze.
"This is not in the suspect's information, is it?"
"No."
"Even if there is, Executive Officer Xia has never seen it before."
"By analyzing the suspect's language and expression, any experienced executive can do this. Don't be too surprised."
In the interrogation room.
Before Lu Kai could speak, Xia Chuluo spoke again.
"You're confident."
"certainly."
Lu Kai always raised his head and raised his chin, with a bit of pride on his face.
I don’t know if that’s the case.
Or just to show it to outsiders.
"There should be a lot of people here in Baker City who know how to make homemade bombs." Xia Chuluo said calmly.
"Haha, there are indeed many people who can do it, but not everyone has my ability. Most of those so-called bombers require complex materials, or even directly purchase semi-finished products to assemble."
"And you?"
"I won't talk about the complicated ones. Let's talk about something simple. I only need to go to the drugstore to buy some sulfur, go to the school laboratory to get some potassium, and then go to the supermarket to buy a bag of sugar, and then I can make a bomb. Do you believe it?"
"Any chemical engineering student can do it."
"Hmph, college students are all useless people who only know how to theory. If we really ask them to do it, half of the laboratory will be blown up."
During the conversation, Lu Kai's expression remained very arrogant.
Xia Chuluo was just calm.
She got the information she needed.
"You are arrogant and arrogant. You think you are very capable, but with low academic qualifications, your daily life should be unsatisfactory." She said calmly.
"No, I'm living quite comfortably!" Lu Kai denied coldly.
"You should rarely succeed in your life and change jobs frequently. You always attribute your failures to others. You like more difficult jobs because you can prove your abilities to others, but those people will often treat you badly. Your first impression is based on your academic qualifications, so you always fail, always change jobs, and always complain that your colleagues are stupid.”
Xia Chuluo paused.
Then he said: "You are... narcissistic and paranoid personality disorder."
"You say I'm sick?"
"No, many people have it, but your situation is more serious." Xia Chuluo looked at him calmly, "Apart from daily life, your love life should not be smooth either. You like to express yourself, and you may have been exposed many times. Love, but it’s hard to maintain a relationship for a long time.”
Lu Kai argued: "That's just..."
"You will also blame your girlfriend for the failure of love. This is your usual habit."
"you… "
"You will still feel angry after failure, both at your girlfriend and at yourself, but you won't show it to the outside world. You don't like to appear embarrassed in front of others. You prefer to talk."
"Hmph, what's the use of Baker City investigating my information in such detail?"
Lu Kai still maintained the arrogance on his face.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic first." Xia Chuluo asked calmly: "Did you plant the bomb?"
"Mowu City asked me to release it."
"Who is from Mowu City?"
"parliament?"
"Parliament is just a body."
"It's one of you anyway, and he means it's the whole city of Mow."
"You are not stupid, you should know the consequences of doing this."
Lu Kai shrugged, he had no fear and looked relaxed.
"Of course I know, isn't it just indefinite?"
