Chapter 167 Sell for Money
【October 5th at 9 o'clock in the morning】
【Crescent City】
The morning news program "New Moon Morning" was broadcast on time. It was different from the relaxed and lively atmosphere of the past. White chrysanthemums were placed on the radio station to commemorate the deceased. The two hosts were also dressed in black, with serious and solemn expressions.
"Hello, viewers, let's pay attention to today's morning news."
"The appalling Xinghai Cinema hostage incident officially ended last night. 314 hostages from Chiyang Affiliated Primary School were safely rescued, and one student was unfortunately killed."
"City Speaker Mr. Amir returned to Crescent City this morning and expressed his deep condolences to the families of the victims, and instructed the City Council to reflect on the city's security issues and draw lessons from other cases to prevent such tragedies from happening again."
"Twenty-eight Crow's Nest thugs headed by Toei Muto were taken into custody last night. The heads of the Municipal Court and the Procuratorate have stated that they will be punished with the harshest possible punishment."
"Starting today, Crescent City will enter a month-long public security rectification period, and all security forces will be deployed to restore order. The City Council urges all illegal entrants to leave the inner city immediately to avoid more serious consequences."
"Large-scale protests broke out in the Rusty Wall area, and citizens in the inner city demanded that the authorities launch military retaliation and carry out a comprehensive purge of border groups headed by Crow's Nest."
"In response to the chaos in the handling of this crisis, the World Government went to court to initiate an accountability process. The special investigation team has arrived in Crescent City this morning and will investigate the city council, the General Administration of Public Security, the Rusty Wall Defense Command Center and other departments. Conduct a thorough investigation.”
"According to morning news, the former director of the Crescent City Public Security Bureau, Kitahara Hayabusa, was suspected of violating laws and disciplines, seeking improper benefits for others, and serious dereliction of duty during this city-wide crisis. He has been stripped of his original position and transferred to the special investigation team, pending further review. His will be the judgment of the law.”
"Mr. Schenkov, the former Crescent City Acting City Speaker and ruling member of the City Council, handled the crisis properly and was publicly commended by the Upper Tribunal Council. He was drafted as the next Director of the General Public Security Bureau and will officially take office a week later on October 12. ."
"The Xinghai Cinema hostage incident is the first large-scale attack on children by a violent group. This is a huge impact on human morality and values. Our station strongly condemns it and sincerely hopes for world peace and that tragedies will not happen again."
After the special investigation team arrived in court, Su Mo, as the main rescuer of the Xinghai Cinema hostage incident, was taken to the station for isolation interrogation.
It is said to be an "interrogation", but in fact it is just a process.
The investigators sent to the court were all smart people. They could understand at a glance why mercenaries were involved in the rescue instead of official troops, and they were even more aware of Schenkov's little thoughts.
In any case, the result is good, minimizing hostage casualties, which is more important than anything else.
Therefore, Su Mo was not challenged. The investigator showed appreciation in his words, and the conversation went very smoothly.
As for the chaos during the rescue process, such as the random issuance of wanted warrants, the sawing of people alive, and the mass murder of Muto Toei's family, the investigators did not even mention it and allowed them to pass.
This is completely different from Su Mo's impression of the original plot.
In the game "Dawn", this rescue operation is a battle at the end of the main line and must be fought. Players can only launch a strong attack on Xinghai Cinema. The death of the children is a "plot kill".
Afterwards, when the player was isolated and interrogated by the investigation team, it was miserable. He was not allowed to eat or drink water. He was shined under a strong light for 24 hours and was tortured until he was transformed into a human being.
If it weren't for Schenkov's help in running the relationship later and a "plot rescue", the player would have been tortured to death.
Of course, the current situation was within Su Mo's expectations.
In the eyes of the court, the outcome is what matters most.
As long as there are beautiful results, they can tolerate and smooth out any chaos in the process.
It was already past ten in the morning when Su Mo left the investigation team station.
The morning light shines on the face, bringing a warm feeling.
Outside the station, three familiar figures had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Su Mo, they ran up directly.
KK was the most anxious. He grabbed Su Mo's arm and looked up and down. His words were full of concern: "Brother, they didn't do anything to you, right?"
Dongdong poked Su Mo in the stomach with a baseball bat, gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Boss, yes, I didn't expect you to be so handsome. At that time, you were competing against Muto Devil on TV, and you made me look so handsome. ~"
Future probed his head, rubbed his hands and asked: "Boss, did the investigation team mention bonuses? Let those big guys give some research funds to our mercenary group!"
The three people were talking in different ways. Su Mo didn't know who to answer, so he could only smile and said, "Go home first. I haven't had breakfast yet and I'm starving to death."
When Su Mo and others left the station building, many people gathered outside, including reporters from major media.
These reporters were very well-informed. When they found out that Su Mo was under investigation here, they couldn't wait to get first-hand news.
Because there were so many reporters, there were many police officers at the scene to maintain order.
As soon as Su Mo appeared, reporters gathered around him.
"Mr. Su Mo, is it convenient to reveal the content of your conversation with the investigation team?"
"Can you tell us about your journey? Why did you come forward during the hostage incident? Was it someone who instigated it?"
"Captain Su, do you feel uneasy about your conscience after killing so many people in the Muto family?"
"Someone saw you and the anti-riot captain Ivan whispering and being intimate. Are you a couple?"
Su Mo didn't want to answer any of these questions.
Especially the last stupid question.
He smiled politely and walked out without saying anything.
In addition to reporters who wanted to make big news, there were also reporters on the scene who deliberately did the opposite. Everyone regarded Su Mo as a hero, so they criticized him as a villain in order to attract public attention.
A reporter from a small newspaper stood in front of the camera and said indignantly: "It is really hard for us to imagine that such a thing as murdering a whole family could happen in modern society!"
"Su Mo, a trampler of human values! Even the family members of thugs should not be treated like this! We must defend the human rights of thugs! Human rights! Human rights!"
Dongdong circled back and swung a stick on his head: "I am your *right to the civilized frontier*!"
The reporter was beaten with blood on his head. He lay on the ground and wailed at a police officer: "Sir! She beat someone! Arrest her quickly!"
For these reporters who want to cause trouble all day long, the Sheriff has suffered a lot from them before, and he has long been itchy with hatred. Now that someone is trying to teach them a lesson, it is too late to be happy.
The police officer deliberately tilted his head and pretended not to notice.
Dongdong showed a ferocious smile: "Hehe, the miscellaneous fish exploded with gold coins~"
The sound of reporters crying for their fathers and mothers echoed around.
Not long after, Dongdong returned to Su Mo and brought back the loot.
In his left hand, he held the wallet that was stolen from the reporter.
On his right shoulder was the camera he had snatched from the director.
Su Mo was stunned for a moment: "Why did you snatch his wallet?"
Dongdong said proudly: "The Sheriff doesn't care. If you have money, it will be in vain."
Su Mo: "Then why did you snatch the camera?"
Dongdong said confidently: "Sell it for money. This thing is worth a lot of money."
Su Mo: "You are really diligent and thrifty."
