Some were happy and some were sad. While Shi Jin was being scolded by Councillor Nia, the MVP of a mopping-up battle was being calculated on the other side of Hope City.
With the Mind Flayer being shot dead with more than ten bullets, the worry that had been troubling everyone from the ten congressmen to the factory office director was finally completely dispelled.
The body has been identified and belongs to Li Rui, an illegal resident who disappeared more than ten years ago.
It seems that this guy was trying to avoid Hope City's recruitment of super-powered people, but he was unwilling to play the role of an ordinary person his whole life, so he hid himself after awakening his super powers.
More than a decade is enough time for a superpower to master his not-so-powerful abilities to perfection.
Perhaps for most of the time before, his thefts were concentrated on ordinary people in the outer city who had no need to report the crime.
It was not until a few months ago that Li Rui's abilities had been perfected and he began to commit a series of crimes.
So Mr. Li Rui, who was actually not dead and whose abilities were not as described in the wanted poster, naturally became the suspect in 15 murders in the outer city and nine thefts in the inner city.
There are also more than a dozen other charges, including evading conscription, illegal organization, group fighting, and organ trafficking.
As for the contributions that this mind flayer had made to the Outer City Police Department, who had seen them? They were all fabricated.
In some files that are being sorted out, Li Rui has become a model worker in the criminal world. He is busy stealing valuable items in the inner city in the first half of the night, and organizing street fights in the second half of the night. In the middle, he would go to the opposite block to kill two people and kick an elderly person who was taking a midnight walk.
Such dedicated criminals could not help but bring tears to the eyes of the sheriffs in the outer city, and the smiles of the supervising purge team members were also touched.
In short, needless to say, the death of Li Rui, the great account-settling saint, injected new vitality into the outer city's security team, and everyone quickly became mentally prepared to continue fighting crime.
As for whether they witnessed the brutal gunfight last night, it seemed to be an insignificant issue.
After all, they didn't want their superiors to know that as front-line personnel, they were knocked down for not being able to wear a gas mask properly, which would directly cut off their promotion channels.
So when everyone woke up from their dream and saw that the battle was over and the only person killed on their side was a young man no one knew, the truth of the matter was already indisputable.
Was the gunfight intense? Of course it was.
Are there many enemies? Of course there are many.
What was the specific situation at the scene? Sorry, the enemy threw a smoke bomb and I couldn't see clearly.
What? Who did you say fainted? Did you see it?!
"At 00:30 in the morning on November 6, the 52nd year of the New Era, the Purge Team led by Zhuang Mian encountered the enemy in the western area of the inner city sewer. In the chaotic gunfight, the Purge Team's trainee deputy captain Tang Qing was hit by a ricochet bullet and unfortunately died."
The old man finished reading the report expressionlessly and looked at Zhuang Mian, who was almost as tall as him.
"Is it true?"
"true."
"Is it confirmed?"
"The students confirmed it was true."
The old man and Zhuang Mian looked at each other. There was something deep in their gray eyes, like a bottomless pool of water.
"Sign here if you have confirmed it. This operation was very well done. One person was killed, three were seriously injured, nineteen were slightly injured, the Mind Flayer himself was killed, and four gangs that might be connected to him were wiped out."
Zhuang Mian nodded lightly and signed his name in the lower right corner of the report.
"Are you sure you want me to hand over this document?"
Zhuang Mian nodded again.
The old man sighed and said:
“Being too hasty is not necessarily a good thing.
"Not to mention the backers behind those gangs, Tang Qing's death alone is enough to make you suffer in secret."
"Teacher, I am also very sad about the accident of my junior brother."
Zhuang Mian's face showed indignation, as if he was gritting his teeth to hold back tears:
“If I had known this would happen, I would not have agreed to his request to join the same team.
"This operation is very dangerous. Junior brother is inexperienced. I have advised him several times...
"But he still... I'm sorry, teacher."
"There's no need to say that."
The old man reached out and scratched his ears:
“It’s already in the past tense, what’s the point of talking about it?
"I will submit the documents, you should also prepare them early."
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Looking at the old man's departing figure, Zhuang Mian bowed deeply.
It is already the morning of November 6th. Zhuang Mian, who had not slept all night, and her men have basically completed all the cleaning work of the battlefield last night with the help of the external reserve team.
Judging from the results alone, this was a very successful operation.
Not to mention that our side only suffered minimal casualties, just from the perspective of the spoils, it can be called a great victory.
Zhuang Mian and her cleanup team members divided into six groups and carried out a systematic sweep of one-sixteenth of the inner city's sewers.
Because this area covers many factories, it is also a hotbed for corruption.
This allowed Zhuang Mian to find four more guarded material storage points besides the Mind Flayer.
Most of them are factory products that have been labeled as defective and should be destroyed or recycled.
This is of course the area in Hope City where such incidents occur most frequently. If the remaining fifteen districts are all like this, then Hope City will really be doomed.
Fortunately, judging from the quantity alone, the seized materials this time were not particularly large. The only problem was that some weapons that should have been eliminated and destroyed were found in the Mind Flayer's warehouse.
Compared to those nutritional creams and the like, these are the real big gains.
This also explains why the Mind Flayer can fight against ten opponents with guns alone.
A large number of weapons, basic guesses about the mind flayer's abilities, and the protection of the smoke, all these factors ultimately produced a miraculous reaction, leading to today's final result that satisfied most people.
Looking at the teacher's receding back, Zhuang Mian knew that his difficult time had just begun from this moment.
There is no doubt that with this achievement as her endorsement, her position as the captain of the purge team will definitely be greatly upgraded.
But at the same time, more eyes will be on you.
As a newcomer at a higher level, even without the teacher's guidance of those obvious and covert obstacles, there will be almost impossible tasks handed to you.
This is the difficulty of trying to climb up. Zhuang Mian has experienced similar things in his dreams.
She could roughly guess that before long, those cases that were difficult to handle would be transferred to her desk, and only after completing them would she have the opportunity to continue to be promoted.
Zhuang Mian stood there in a daze for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Tang Qing who had been put into the body bag.
"I hope your family won't let me down."
