Chapter 13: Bureau 749, Door-to-Door Service
Saying
now,
Three black SUVs drove up along the main road of the villa area, without any license plates.
The windows were all tinted, obscuring the view inside, and the car was covered in dust.
It looked like they had driven a long way to get here; the car came to a steady stop outside the police cordon.
The car doors opened in unison, and the first person to step out was a middle-aged man with a square face.
He had a buzz cut, dark skin, a weathered face, and eyes as sharp as a hawk's.
The man was wearing a black combat uniform without any epaulets. He stood tall with broad shoulders and walked with a steady gait.
Every step he took felt like he was nailed to the ground, and he carried an aura of bloodlust that came from years of bloodshed—the kind of aura that only someone who had truly struggled on the brink of life and death possessed.
He was followed by six people, three men and three women, all dressed in the same black training uniform. They all exuded a calm and composed aura. After getting off the vehicle, they immediately dispersed and scanned their surroundings.
Luo Shaofeng walked to the cordon, his gaze sweeping over the line that was twisted and warped by the wind, even with a gap in it. His brows furrowed instantly: "Who is in charge at the scene?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a piece of iron striking a rock, carrying an undeniable force that pounded into people's ears.
"Li Huimin, deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau, I am the person in charge of this scene."
At this moment, the policewoman spoke up. This person was the tall, slender policewoman with a heroic air who had just met Su Nan.
"I made it very clear on the phone that the area, including the streets, was sealed off, and no unauthorized personnel were allowed to enter or leave. But is this your lockdown?"
Is this how your Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau handles things?
Luo Shaofeng's gaze fell on Li Huimin's face, his eyes as cold as ice.
"Comrade, we have already blocked the entrances and exits of the Chu family villa and arranged for personnel to guard them, but this street is the entrance and exit of the entire wealthy area, and the residents are all people with status. We can't forcibly stop them; we can only persuade them to leave."
Li Huimin's face flushed instantly, and she gritted her teeth as she explained.
If she really blocks off the main road and all the surrounding streets,
The consequences were far beyond what her police uniform could handle; the residents here are all wealthy and powerful.
If Li Huimin really sets up a cordon and seals this place off completely, complaints against her will flood her boss's office.
Moreover, she didn't think that just because Chu Yahan had injured someone at the Chu family, it was necessary to seal off the surrounding area; simply isolating the Chu family would suffice.
of course,
Li Huimin knew very little about what exactly happened inside the Chu family villa.
Because of a phone call from her superior last night, she was only instructed to seal off the scene, but without orders, she was not allowed to enter the Chu family villa.
She had inquired about the reason, and the explanation she received was that there was a high possibility of great danger if she went in.
"I don't want to hear any explanations."
Luo Shaofeng's tone was flat and imposing, and he continued, "I only care about the results. Now, I order the immediate evacuation of all people within a ten-kilometer radius, including residents, shops, schools, and business districts. Complete the evacuation within half an hour."
Upon hearing this, Li Huimin froze, her eyes widening as if she hadn't heard clearly. She instinctively asked, "What did you say? Within a ten-kilometer radius?"
"Can't you understand human language?"
A young man behind Luo Shaofeng frowned and said, "Our captain said to clear the area within a ten-kilometer radius, leaving no one alive, and to complete it within half an hour. Don't you understand that simple statement?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Li Huimin finally came to her senses, feeling that it was utterly absurd.
"This area is the core affluent area of Jiangcheng. There are three large residential communities, two primary schools, a large shopping mall, and two industrial parks around it. The permanent population is 3. It is simply impossible to clear it out in half an hour."
Moreover, such a large-scale operation, without any prior notice, could cause widespread panic among citizens. Who will bear the responsibility for that?
In all her years as a police officer, Li Huimin had never heard such an outrageous order.
Even in the event of a major criminal case, the most that happens is the sealing off of the neighborhood where the incident occurred. There has never been any talk of clearing out the entire area within a ten-kilometer radius; that would be utterly absurd.
"This is an order, not a suggestion. Just do as I say."
Luo Shaofeng looked at her, his gaze unchanged, and uttered four words once again.
These four words were like four heavy iron blocks smashing onto the ground, leaving no room for negotiation!
"I'm sorry, I cannot execute this command."
Li Huimin straightened her back, meeting Luo Shaofeng's gaze without yielding an inch.
As the person in charge on-site, she was responsible for the citizens of this area, and there was absolutely no way she could carry out such an outrageous order.
"Are you going to disobey my orders?"
Luo Shaofeng frowned, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
"I work for the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau and only follow the instructions of the Municipal Bureau. Such a large-scale evacuation operation must be notified by phone by the Municipal Bureau. Otherwise, I will not only refuse to carry it out, but I will also report to the Municipal Bureau and complain that you have abused your power."
After Li Huimin finished speaking, she took out her phone and dialed the number of the municipal bureau chief in front of Luo Shaofeng.
The phone rang twice before being answered.
"Director, this is Li Huimin. A group of people have arrived at the scene..." Li Huimin had just started speaking when she hadn't finished explaining the whole situation.
"Li Huimin, I don't care what demands the other side makes. Do exactly as the comrade standing in front of you says. No questioning is allowed, no compromises are permitted. I, as the bureau chief, will bear all the consequences, the resulting public tension, and everything else. Do you understand?"
The director's voice on the other end of the phone was more serious than ever before.
"..." Li Huimin's hand holding the phone froze instantly. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't utter a single word.
She had been working for the bureau chief for almost four years and had never heard him speak in such a tone, let alone say something like that.
Perhaps the director on the other end of the phone guessed what she was thinking. He paused, then added in a low but firm voice: "And Li Huimin, you remember this: no matter what happens today, even if someone dies, you are not allowed to show the slightest disrespect to the comrade standing in front of you or the people he brought."
You just need to do your jobs, maintain order, and guard the perimeter.
"Li Huimin, did you hear me clearly?"
A few breaths later, the call ended abruptly, leaving only a busy tone.
Li Huimin stood there holding her phone, completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.
What did she just hear?
The bureau chief said he wouldn't care even if someone died?
She even wondered if she was imagining things.
