While the governor was arranging the evacuation, Inspector Brook suddenly interjected:
"All the prisoners who are being executed outside the prison should be put in prison first. There are too many unstable elements among them, and it will be very troublesome if they take advantage of the chaos."
Investigator Brook gave up the idea of asking Shengma officials to fully cooperate with his investigation, but the assistance that should be provided is still to be provided.
The governor readily agrees that the governor thinks more, not only those criminals participating in community corrections, but the criminals in prisons are actually more difficult to deal with.
There is no death penalty in Katsuma Prefecture, and the prisons for serious criminals are full of criminals with an astonishingly long time limit. Of course, they cannot be left in Katsuma City to wait for death, but the risk of suddenly transferring a large number of criminals is too great.
If something goes wrong and the prisoner escapes from prison, it will be very scary news.
The governor simply transferred the responsibility of transferring prisoners to Inspector Brooke.
Investigator Brooke gave the governor a cold look, and did not refuse. He reached out and grabbed the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, who was in charge of prisons, and turned and left the conference room.
The people in the conference room watched investigator Brooke leave with his investigators. The governor, who had solved a big trouble, felt relieved, and called other state government officials to continue discussing the evacuation arrangements.
They didn't notice that a palm-sized ghost bat hung upside down on the lamp above the meeting room. Its nimble eyes glanced at the people below from time to time, as if it could understand what they were saying.
Investigator Brook sorted out the list of criminals who were serving their sentences in the shortest possible time. Except for those who were honestly locked up in prison, there were nearly 500 people who were currently serving their sentences outside the prison.
Most of them are criminals participating in community corrections, and a small part are criminals receiving special care in hospitals.
While Investigating Officer Brooke was arranging transfers, he kept an eye on the offenders participating in community corrections.
At 7:00 p.m., all the criminals participating in community corrections in the 16 districts of Katsuma City returned to the community center. Brook, who was watching them closely, immediately noticed those who did not clock in on time.
In the same group as Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, criminal No. 60 who started community corrections four days ago was the focus of investigator Brooke, and he found something very interesting.
In just four days, two of the No. 60 criminals were shot dead for robbing a bank and resisting arrest; one was arrested for burglary; two were arrested for stealing and resisting arrest; The three of Gao and Xuan didn't check in on time... It can be said that this group of people is very restless.
Investigator Brook retrieved Gao Hexuan's information, and found that Gao Hexuan's image was very similar to the one drawn by the profiler. He immediately determined that the young man Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian always appeared at the same time as mentioned by several restaurant waiters was Gao Hexuan.
What's more interesting is that Brooke also discovered that the two scammers who failed to be arrested at noon were also among this group of criminals. This was really beyond his expectation. The two scammers who escaped the arrest at noon actually swaggered back to the community center to check in? !
Who gave them the confidence to think that they were successful in hiding their identities, and dared to continue hiding in the community center? ?
Investigator Brook curled his lips and made a loud teeth clenching sound. The restless person No. 10 was found among the No. 60 people. Who would dare to believe that the rest of them have been safe and honest in the past few days
So Investigator Brooke applied for the support of the National Guard in the name of the FBI, surrounded the community centers of sixteen blocks in turn, and brought all the criminals who were participating in community corrections back to the prison.
The two swindlers were able to escape at noon because Brook paid more attention to the two thieves than to them. Now it is different. Hundreds of professional fighters surrounded the community center. Honestly, he was arrested.
Twelve testers actually entered the mission world at the same time, ten of them had already registered their names with Investigator Brook, and two of them were really wronged.
One of them really started to accumulate original capital by working hard and doing coolies honestly. After saving a little money, he tried to quickly turn it into more money through the stock market and futures.
Although the starting capital was small, but he has some talent in stock trading and has the blessing of ability. The capital in his hand quickly increased from the initial few hundred to the later tens of thousands. There was still great hope for him to complete the task before.
The other person is Gao Hexuan's roommate, and he has been doing "strength" work honestly, selling his body day and night, not picking customers and just making money, if it is not for his strong physical fitness and ability to bless him, It's really not necessarily possible to persist in one-to-many, just like that, and I have lost face after working so hard.
In the end, bad news suddenly fell from the sky, and they were all going to be locked up!
The four testers who were blocked in the community center didn't have the courage to challenge the power of hundreds of submachine guns, so they had to switch them off separately with the luck in their hearts that they would be released if they couldn't find out the problem.
Investigator Brook moved very quickly. After solving the criminals scattered all over the city, he began to arrange the transfer of criminals in the three prisons in Katsuma City.
The interrogation of those suspicious elements was entrusted to his subordinates, while Investigator Brook himself led a team to investigate the safety of the city's pipelines and search for Xia Ruize, Cheng Huaiqian, and Gao Hexuan who were targeted by him.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the TV program urgently broadcast a major news:
[Katsuma City will experience a major earthquake at 4:00 pm tomorrow, please hurry up and evacuate Katsuma City before 4:00 pm tomorrow.]
Short messages take over all TV channels and are played repeatedly.
The citizens who saw the news at first couldn't believe their ears. They didn't expect to receive the information repeatedly promoted by the government through emails, text messages, door-to-door notifications, and city broadcasts.
No matter what kind of propaganda method, the core point is to ask the citizens to evacuate Katsuma City within 20 hours.
From the receipt of the threatening letter at 5:00 pm to the official warning to the public at 8:00 pm, the Katsuma state government did nothing in just three hours.
The most critical parts, such as hospitals and prisons, have been evacuated to Lin City first. In addition, various transportation methods such as air, train, and automobile have also been contacted and arranged, and they will continue to drive to surrounding cities in the next time. Try to transport as many passengers as possible.
The Katsuma State Government also encourages residents to drive out of Katsuma City by themselves, and arranges security personnel at various traffic points in the city in advance to guide traffic and deter those who take advantage of the chaos to commit crimes.
After a short period of panic, the citizens who received the news that a major earthquake was about to occur were overwhelmed by anxiety. They were informed of the earthquake warning in advance. They could leave for refuge, but they could not take away the property they had worked hard for many years. Who knew when they would come back again? Would it hurt to think about seeing ruins all over the place
In desperation, the citizens could only quickly pack up their belongings at home with heartache, and prepare to leave Katsuma City.
In the end, the number of citizens who chose to leave by car was the largest. After all, their own cars can be stuffed with as many valuables as possible, and it is not so convenient to carry luggage on airplanes and trains.
As for the destination of departure, those who have relatives and friends in other cities go to join relatives and friends, those who have money choose to go to a city as far away as possible for a vacation, and those who are really unable to take refuge in the three nearby satellite cities.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the main road out of the city began to be congested, and the congestion continued to increase with time.
Fortunately, at 9:30, the aid troops promised by the National Guard entered Katsuma City, and were arranged to disperse to various intersections in Katsuma City to help maintain order.
National Guard fighters are more ruthless than security officers. When encountering vehicles that are deliberately jammed and do not obey orders, they will throw their weapons at the window and even drag the driver out of the car to beat him. pause.
Under such tough management, fewer and fewer people dare to provoke, and the congestion has not developed to the point where it is difficult to move.
In addition, there were some people with bad intentions who took advantage of the chaos to smash and rob. Fortunately, after the National Guard entered the city, such phenomena decreased a lot.
This night was a sleepless night for Katsuma City.
Even though the security guards and soldiers tried their best to divert the traffic, the city was always in a state of congestion, the anxious citizens were particularly irritable, and various conflicts occurred with high frequency.
For Xia Ruize, Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan, this night was a rare night of good rest.
Gao Hexuan, who has been monitoring the progress of the investigation by the Public Security Bureau, discovered that the elite investigators of the Federal Bureau of Investigation quickly locked their suspicions on Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, and immediately notified the two big bosses to avoid them.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian did hide, but unlike investigator Brooke's prediction that they carefully hid in the corners of the city, they actually hid in the city center.
He didn't find another place, and hid directly under the ruins of the Katsuma City Library.
The ruins of the Katsuma City Library were a pile of bookshelves and a lot of dust. Xia Ruize used telekinesis to control the dust to vacate an area. Cheng Huaiqian took the opportunity to set up a tent. The two of them burrowed into the tent, and then covered the tent with dust.
After Gao Hexuan was also found, Gao Hexuan hid in another tent under the ruins with the assembled computer bought with the money earned by the two big men.
Both tents were covered by dust, neither affecting the use of the people inside nor being noticed by people outside.
So, while Investigator Brook went against the flow of people who had left the city and searched for the thorn in his side, Xia Ruize and the three were sleeping peacefully under the ruins of the library not far from the state government.
There was only one ghost bat hanging on Brook's clothes to watch his search progress.
At four o'clock in the morning, when the night was darkest, the three of Xia Ruize walked out of the tent and left the ruins of the library.
Cheng Huaiqian dug out the motorcycle that was originally used to deliver couriers that was also hidden under the ruins, and drove Xia Ruize and Gao Hexuan towards the outskirts of the city.
During the whole journey, the passers-by around turned a blind eye to them who were wearing the illusion, and the three of them slipped away from the National Guard's nose smoothly.
Sitting on the high-speed motorcycle, Xia Ruize didn't stay idle, took out a black makeup brush, and brushed it on the faces of the three of them.
This makeup brush is a white medium-grade equipment produced by the Lord God, worth 300 survival points. There are fifty types of makeup styles stored inside the makeup brush. Users only need to select the style they want in advance, and use the makeup brush to apply it With a wave, you can "print" the corresponding makeup on your face.
The method of use is so simple that Xia Ruize can handle it well. After he brushed it, the appearance of the three of them immediately changed a lot. The fair-skinned Xia Ruize simply turned into a half-race.
Although Westerners are face-blind when looking at Easterners, they can still distinguish the more obvious features. The effect of makeup is that people in the mission world will not immediately think of wanted people when they see their faces.
The three of them drove the motorcycle to the beach, Cheng Huaiqian stopped the car, lifted the motorcycle over the guardrail and threw it into the sea.
The next three approached a room next to the pier.
"Come here?" Sitting at the door of the room was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian standing in front of him, and said softly in a rare tone: "Thanks for your hard work." .”
"Everyone in the family has made arrangements, and I will earn a fortune at the end. I have money in my hand, so I don't panic." Xia Ruize replied with a smile, then pulled Gao Hexuan behind him, and recommended, "This is my younger brother. He is strong enough." Very good, come to earn some money to settle down."
Today's scarred man is very talkative, pointing to several stacked cube boxes in the corner, motioning Gao Hexuan to move them to try his strength.
Gao Hexuan looked thin and weak, but his physical fitness had been strengthened several times, so he easily moved several cube boxes to another corner of the room and stacked them again.
The scarred man nodded in satisfaction, and Xia Ruize immediately dragged him to the rear changing room to put on uniform work clothes and a hat.
"Boss, what's the job today?"
The three armed men went to the scarred man to inquire about today's mission.
"You can do these small tasks as you like." The scarred man selected some tasks on the computer, signaled the three of them to choose at will, and then lowered his voice and said casually, "It's free at two o'clock in the afternoon."
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other indiscriminately, with a bright smile in their eyes, here we come! After days of painstaking planning, the opportunity they had been waiting for finally came!
They did not accumulate wealth step by step in the mission world this time, but played a big game, with high risks and high returns. Whether they can obtain the corresponding benefits after a long-term layout is a matter of success or failure!
