Chapter 22: Find the suspect

Views:

Well… !

This is definitely an accident.

The office has no windows and relies entirely on lighting. If the lighting goes out, it will be completely dark.

Looking at the darkened office, Xiao Mo froze for a moment. After his eyes adjusted to the brightness, he lowered his head and quietly walked out of the office relying on the memory he had when he came.

Because of the sudden power outage, the entire supermarket was filled with screams and chaos after a moment of silence.

Fang Zhenggang, the police chief who was inquiring about the situation of relevant personnel in the supermarket, reacted quickly and immediately ordered someone to check whether the backup power supply was connected manually or automatically. At the same time, he asked to connect lights from outside.

In the chaos and darkness, someone tried to break out, but was overpowered and escorted away by the police guarding the door.

The crowd outside was finally persuaded to disperse, and the armed police who stayed outside were finally able to enter the supermarket directly.

As soon as the lights went dark, the three police officers who rushed to the second floor immediately turned on the strong flashlights they carried. The two of them guarded two entrances and exits to check the movements of the shoppers on the second floor. The other one passed Xiao Mo and walked quickly. Go into the office.

coming! They will soon find something strange there!

Xiao Mo's head was dripping with sweat, he said "Sorry" in his heart, and took advantage of the situation to blend into the crowd.

"Don't panic, everyone. It's best to stand still and don't move. The power will be connected soon. If you are really scared, please walk slowly along the light of the flashlight. Don't run or push each other." Guard the exit on the second floor. the policeman shouted.

Because of the power outage, the scared and panicked people gradually calmed down when they heard the police's shouts. Some stood still and did not dare to move, while others were already walking in the direction where the flashlight light came from.

Xiao Mo couldn't find the basket he had left in the clothing area, and he didn't dare to stay where he was because of his guilty conscience. He could only follow the crowd to the exit with his bare hands under the illumination of the police flashlight.

The police who walked into the office quickly ran out again, whispered something with a walkie-talkie, and at the same time quickly shot at the customers who could be seen on the second floor.

Xiao Mo didn't dare to look back when he heard what was happening behind him, his heart was beating fiercely.

After doing this series of bad things, Xiao did not feel a sense of accomplishment that he had succeeded. On the contrary, he couldn't help but wonder if he had left a trail elsewhere. Maybe the police would find him later and accuse him. If he is convicted, he will change from a good law-abiding citizen to a social saboteur who will be imprisoned in a research institute for anatomy research.

Not only will his future be ruined, but his family will also be sad, disappointed, and worried...

Xiao Mo's hands were shaking violently, and he remembered that he had just tried to kill a living person!

Three minutes later, the backup power supply was manually connected, and the supermarket became bright again. However, monitors and other items were burned out, and only electronic equipment such as lamps, air conditioners, freezers and cash registers are currently functioning.

Almost at the same moment when they saw the light, everyone let out a breath of air.

Xiao Mo took the opportunity to break away from the team and turned back to the clothing area to find his basket. He had taken off the plastic gloves on his hands and stuffed them into his pants pockets. He had repackaged the remaining ninety-eight sanitary gloves and put them away. into shopping basket.

The chaos on the first floor has gradually returned to normal under the suppression of a large number of police.

Because of Xiao Mo's vandalism, the supermarket's loudspeakers could no longer be used. The police could only use electronic loudspeakers to shout, asking shoppers to purchase goods within five minutes and queue up at the checkout counter.

As a reassurance, normal shoppers who have not been caught will not need to use supermarket shopping vouchers today.

When Xiao Mo heard the shouting, he followed other shoppers and walked down the second floor to queue in front of the checkout counter.

The child saw him, came out of the corner and ran to him.

Xiao Mo reluctantly smiled at him.

The child suddenly grabbed his hand and squeezed it hard.

Xiao Mo's hands finally stopped shaking so much, and at least he looked similar to those around him. There were also people around who were trembling with fear or excitement.

The ground and shelves on the first floor were still in a mess, but all the troublemakers had been arrested.

Xiao Mo paid special attention to the freezing area. Except for a trace of blood, neither the bitten nor the person biting anyone was missing.

"Where is the Mother of Gluttony Beast now?" Xiao Mo couldn't help but ask in his mind.

The map appeared and the red dot was moving towards the park.

"It is now 16:52. In one hour and twenty-three minutes, if you cannot complete the task, you will be completely wiped out." The system said coldly.

Xiao Mo tried to calm down.

Li Zhicheng, the person in charge of the Sixth District in the south of the city, was talking to Fang Zhenggang with a grimace.

"Captain Fang, you have also seen that what happened here is definitely not normal. Even if those people have suffered too much physical damage due to their previous illness and need to replenish energy when they wake up, how much can one person eat

Look at the food they wasted. Everyone had eaten at least three adults' meals. Even so, they kept eating. They all looked like hungry ghosts in the legend. No one's digestive system had appeared yet. question.

Unfortunately, this is not a problem of just one person. Look at how many people gathered at the door just now. Those people were so hungry that their eyes were red. If you hadn't arrived in time, I don't know what would have happened now! And I heard that there are cannibals in the supermarket? Look at this..."

"District Chief Li, I understand your difficulties. Don't worry. Since I was sent here to take charge of public security matters, we are now in the same boat. It is necessary to work together in the same boat. As long as District Chief Li does not treat us as outsiders, good."

"Oh, Captain Fang, whatever you say is all because of..."

"Team Square!" A criminal police officer hurried over to report the matter. Seeing that District Chief Li was also there, he did not continue.

District Chief Li was also a sensible person and immediately said: "Captain Fang, you are busy in advance. When you are done, we will have a good chat. I will go out first to find out who instigated the rally outside the supermarket just now. You busy."

Fang Zhenggang watched District Chief Li leave and turned to ask his subordinate Chen Bing, "What's wrong?"

"Something big happened!"

"Big deal? Someone wants to rebel?" Fang Zhenggang said half-jokingly.

Chen Bing also knew the character of his boss very well. He laughed when he heard this and lowered his voice to report: "I think the chaos in this supermarket is not a simple shopping incident. I suspect it is a premeditated incitement! "

"Oh? What's your evidence?"

"The evidence is... Xiao Zheng went to the second floor to check the surveillance equipment and found that all the surveillance equipment on the second floor had been destroyed. The supermarket manager on duty was also electrocuted and passed out. The power outage was probably caused by the saboteur. I also went up to check just now. According to my guess, the saboteur was probably a demagogue who incited unrest in the supermarket. He knew that the monitor would leave traces, and when he heard that the police were coming, he deliberately destroyed the monitor and the data storage server."

Hearing that the surveillance equipment had been destroyed, Fang Zhenggang raised his eyebrows, thinking that things were really complicated.

"Then what do you think his purpose of inciting is?"

"The purpose... is to attract the attention of the government and get more relief grains and supermarket shopping vouchers?"

"This can indeed be regarded as a reason." Fang Zhenggang did not immediately refute Chen Bing's guess. Instead, he followed his guess and said: "According to what you said, isn't it very likely that the criminal suspect is still in this supermarket?"

"Yes. That's what I feel."

"Very good." Fang Zhenggang raised his head and smiled. Regardless of whether Chen Bing's reasoning was correct or not, the fact that the suspect was still in the supermarket coincided with him.

"Let people protect the scene on the second floor, and let the supermarket only open one cash register. Everyone must line up to pay at that cash register. If you can't wait, you can only arrange one exit. These two exits must Put it together, you and I can go over and watch together. Also, if the supermarket manager is rescued, have someone come over and notify me immediately."

"yes!"

With the help of volunteers, the goods in the shopping cart were quickly scanned through the barcode machine; another volunteer quickly bagged the scanned goods and put them into another shopping cart, leaving only one volunteer is responsible for collecting money.

Fang Zhenggang has been carefully checking everyone who walks out of the exit, and also looks at what products they have bought.

In addition to buying a lot of food, Xiao Mo also bought some slippers, toothbrushes and underwear for children.

When he put the bag of sanitary gloves on the counter, he secretly took a deep breath and restrained himself from looking at the faces of the two policemen in front of him.

The child held his hand tightly.

"A total of four hundred and sixty-two yuan." The cashier stiffly quoted the price.

"Can I swipe my credit card?" Xiao Mo took out his wallet.

"Okay." The cashier handed the card machine to Xiao Mo, took the card, swiped it, and said, "Please enter the password."

Xiao Mo entered the password. The cashier typed out the receipt and signed it, and the transaction was successful.

Over there, volunteers have packed all the goods he purchased and are waiting for him to push the cart and leave.

Xiao Mo said "thank you" to the volunteer, took the shopping cart, and pushed it away with the child.

"Sir, please wait a moment!"

Xiao Mo stopped, calmed down, and turned to look at Fang Zhenggang and the other two.

The child also turned around.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Xiao Mo tried his best to make his voice less trembling.

Fang Zhenggang walked up to him and asked, "Did you get into a fight?" Like everyone else, he ignored Xue Lihong, who had a very weak presence.

"What?! No... uh, yes, I met a madman in front of me and had some friction with him. I couldn't hold it back for a moment and..." Xiao Mo looked down and saw his swollen and slightly broken knuckles, and immediately changed his tune.

"Where is that man now?"

"I don't know. It was very chaotic at that time. I beat him twice. He saw that he couldn't beat me, so he went to grab the food."

Xiao Mo replied. By the way, I looked at Zhenggang below. First I looked at his abdomen. Well, there was no general's belly, so he seemed to move a lot. Then he looked at his face. He was about thirty years old. I couldn't tell his exact age, but he looked very stylish. She is about the same height as him, and good-looking, enough to shoot a police promotional video. Finally, I looked at the epaulettes and drank! A third-level police officer, coupled with his age, he is an absolute pillar of the country.
