Chapter 341: Only 10 minutes?
Huo Haocheng and his group arrived in Haicheng from different places in batches three days later. As soon as they entered Haicheng, the Ministry of Public Security and the Military Department received the news and arranged for people to take them to the gathering place.
When Huo Haocheng and his team arrived at the assembly point, Haicheng Mayor Su Yunmin, Public Security Bureau Captain Zhang Yunda, and Military Chief Ruan Shaokun had been waiting for a long time.
"Mayor Su, Director Zhang, Captain Ruan, and Huo Haocheng of the Independent Regiment have brought all the members here to cooperate with our work. Haicheng is your home ground. If there is anything you need us to do, just let us know." Huo Haocheng put himself in the right position as soon as he arrived, and also made his attitude clear. This time when they came to Haicheng, you will be the main ones and we will be the auxiliary. If you need anything, just let us know. It also means that their Independent Regiment still has some shortcomings in maritime operations, so they can cooperate to complete the work, but if they want to be the main force, they may need to discuss it further.
The three people present also understood what Huo Haocheng meant. They were worried that Huo Haocheng and his men would take over their work without knowing anything and disrupt the things that had been arranged. After all, they had heard about Huo Haocheng's independent regiment. Since its establishment more than a year ago, the independent regiment had perfectly completed many S-level tasks. If they asked to take over as soon as they arrived, would they let them do it or not? They were thinking about this issue when they received the order from their superiors.
However, it now seems that they were judging others by their own mean standards.
"Huo Haocheng, long time no see. You must have worked hard along the way." As Huo Haocheng's brother-in-law, it would be best for Ruan Shaokun to come forward to break the deadlock.
With Ruan Shaokun taking the lead, Mayor Su and Director Zhang also greeted Huo Haocheng.
"Captain Huo, thank you for your hard work along the way."
"Captain Huo, you have worked hard all the way. You are really as my father said, young and promising." Mayor Su, as a Shu family member, had heard of Huo Haocheng a long time ago. When he met him today, he was just as the rumors said. He was brave and resourceful, and he handled things with ease.
Originally, he was still thinking that no matter whether it was the Ruan family, the Gu family, or the Su family, they all praised Huo Haocheng with a certain view of treating him as their own people. But today, after seeing him, he broke his inherent idea and believed that Huo Haocheng was worthy of the title of Soldier King.
“It’s my job, so I don’t complain about the hardship”
For these three people, one is half-elder, one is brother-in-law, and the other is comrade-in-arms. After all, the military and the police are inseparable, so I dare not say the word "hard work" in front of them.
After hearing what Huo Haocheng said, the few people who were about to say something else stopped talking.
"Then let's get back to the point. Captain Huo, come over here first. These are the names of the people who have been arrested this time. I heard that you have a special powder that can make people give up resistance, so, could you please interrogate these people first? In the days since you came here, our people have already arrested all the confirmed enemies, but there are still some people who are still lurking very deep."
Director Zhang showed Huo Haocheng the list of people arrested these days before speaking.
The medicine powder that Director Zhang mentioned was developed by Ruan Ruan to save him trouble. Currently, this medicine powder has not been put into use, so the military and public security bureaus in other places have only heard about it but have never actually seen it.
When Huo Haocheng saw the name of Zheng Xuyang's uncle on the list, he immediately recalled the first time he met the brothers Zheng Xuyang and Zheng Xujie. Huo Haocheng decided to meet this man in person. He wanted to see how someone who grew up in a patriotic family like the Zheng family could commit treason and kill his eldest brother and sister-in-law just for a few dollars.
"Director Zhang, you are too polite. I also brought some medicine powder with me. I'll trouble Director Zhang to find someone to lead the way for me."
Director Zhang was very happy to hear Huo Haocheng's words, and immediately said that he would take him there personally.
Mayor Su and Ruan Shaokun, who were standing by, also expressed their desire to go together.
To be honest, they had heard of that medicine a long time ago, and now that they could see its authenticity, they certainly couldn't miss it.
Seeing that they were all very curious, Huo Haocheng said that if they wanted to go, they could go. He just didn't expect that they were still so curious even though they were sitting in their position.
Soon, under the leadership of Director Zhang, they arrived at the place where the enemy spies were detained. Due to the large number of people, the Public Security Bureau could not detain all of them at once, so they found a compromise. They tied up all the people with ropes and arranged them in a remote and abandoned factory, not far from the command center of this operation. They also arranged a squad of soldiers to guard them.
"You just stay outside the door now. There is currently no antidote for this powder. If you accidentally get it on yourself, you'll have to bear the consequences." After arriving at the factory gate, Huo Haocheng looked at the current wind direction. Although they were all in the factory, there were windows on all sides. For their safety, Huo Haocheng did not let them go inside.
After hearing what Huo Haocheng said, the three of them stopped outside the door obediently. No matter whether what he said was true or false, it was always better to be safe.
Seeing that they did not follow in, Huo Haocheng walked a few steps into the factory and stopped. Without saying a word, he took out the medicine powder that Ruan Ruan had prepared for him from the inside of his clothes. He sprinkled it hard, and the medicine powder in the air was blown towards everyone inside by the wind.
The moment Huo Haocheng scattered the powder into the sky, he quickly retreated to the door and watched the scene inside with the three of them.
"Captain Huo, what will happen next?" Director Zhang asked curiously. They had seen what Huo Haocheng had just done, but they had not seen the reaction of the people who had been drugged.
Hearing Director Zhang's question, Huo Haocheng turned sideways and looked at the three people beside him. Seeing that they were all very curious, he said lightly, "It's better to die than to live."
The next moment after they heard Huo Haocheng's words, they heard wailing one after another from inside. After seeing their painful expressions and rolling on the ground in pain, they finally understood the meaning of the phrase "a fate worse than death".
"Well, well, how long will they last like this?" They really didn't want to hear so many people howling together, so a few of them stepped out and closed the door.
"10 minutes"
"Only 10 minutes? What if they don't want to speak later?" It's not that he was worried, it's just that the time was a bit short. Director Zhang thought it would be best if they could confess everything at once. If not, he could only use other methods.
Facing Director Zhang's question, Huo Haocheng had never really thought about it. Since the drug was first used, no one could bear it for a second time. Therefore, he could not answer this question.
"If they still don't want to recruit after a while, let's try again."
After hearing what Huo Haocheng said, they thought about it and decided that this was the only way. However, the three of them looked at him, sizing him up and down.
"How much medicine do you have on you?" Ruan Shaokun asked
"When we leave, I'll leave the rest for you." Huo Haocheng brought a few doses of medicine this time, but he didn't know how much he would need, so he didn't take out the medicine immediately.
After hearing what Huo Haocheng said, they also expressed their agreement.
