Chapter 106: Begin Searching

The moment the young police officer finished speaking, the door of the office behind the team leader made a loud bang and was forcefully pulled open from the inside.

The supervisor, who had just scolded the team leader in his office, pointed at the young police officer’s nose with a dark expression and scolded, “This is your attitude towards work?! Such negligence, if there really is a terrorist attack, how much chaos will it cause? How much loss will it cause to the lives of the people? Do you think you can bear such a responsibility?!”

The young police officer’s face turned red from the scolding. He lowered his head and was speechless.

The supervisor pointed in the team leader’s direction and said, “This is your team leader, your superior. If he has any instructions, you guys have to follow them seriously. How can you haggle with him?! Are you rebelling!”

After he finished, the supervisor did not even look at the team leader who was about to salute him. He turned around and slammed the office door again.

The police officers in the office looked at each other. Some of them were completely unaware of the situation. During this period of time, the supervisor had clearly been very displeased with the team leader. Why was he suddenly so supportive of the team leader’s work at such a crucial time?

A slightly older policeman said to the young man beside him earnestly, “You are still young and don’t understand the relationship between the supervisor and the team leader. They have worked together for such a long time and have a teacher-student relationship but they are also friends. Just because the supervisor can scold the team leader doesn’t mean that he will allow others to treat the team leader harshly.”

The young police officer who had just been arguing with the leader of the task force looked ashamed. The leader of the task force couldn’t even differentiate between the expressions of the police officers.

He clapped his hands and said, “Everyone, let’s get moving. You’ve all worked hard recently. After completing this investigation, I’ll treat everyone to a good meal.”

The police brought their equipment and began carrying out the tasks, but the citizens sitting outside the police station were not very cooperative.

They thought that the police had only found an excuse to disperse the crowd, so their tones revealed their displeasure.

“We haven’t violated public order, nor have we violated any related laws. Why must you search us?”

“That’s right. The police are helpless against criminals, so they’re showing their authority in front of us ordinary people! How can you let us taxpayers down?”

“We request that the criminals be severely punished!”

The leader of the task force had expected this to happen. He took out the loudspeaker that he had prepared beforehand and turned it on to tell the crowd on the square, “I understand everyone’s feelings. I share the same wish as everyone else. Our current job is to ensure that we can get the criminal to confess when we catch him. Now that we have received a report, someone is trying to take advantage of the situation to launch a terrorist attack. That person might be holding a knife or some other dangerous items. He is hiding in the middle of everyone!”

“We won’t cause any harm to your personal health, but the criminals won’t care about the lives of the innocent. So, please cooperate with us and let us check your belongings. After checking, you can continue to sit quietly. The police won’t force you to leave!”

With the assurance of the team leader, many people gradually believed his words and began to cooperate with the police.

The weather was not cold yet, and most people were dressed very thinly. The experienced police officers only needed to glance up and down to determine if there were any dangerous items hidden under their clothes.

As a result, the police investigated very quickly and soon arrived at a spot near the back of the crowd.

They immediately noticed that a few people were looking away, afraid to meet the police’s gaze. They were wearing large coats or jackets, and some obviously revealed the things hidden underneath their coats.

The police pounced on them nimby. After limiting their mobility, they found all kinds of things on them…
