Chapter 127
When they heard about the good thing of offering a 100-yuan subsidy, the guests of the Internet cafe immediately became extremely cooperative.
There was a truck waiting outside the Internet cafe. The group of people let them in and only left a man in black in the car to question them.
The carriage was completely surrounded and was circling around along the way, making it impossible to tell the direction the car was heading.
After arriving at the destination, the car drove directly into the basement, not letting the people in the car see any outdoor scenery. A group of staff had been waiting there, and as soon as the car drove in, they dispersed the group of people in an orderly manner and took them in different directions.
Lu Jiamu was taken out alone and locked up in a bright little room with mirrors on both sides.
It was like an interrogation room, with bright lights that were blinding. After Lu Jiamu was thrown in, the only thing the broadcast said was for him to sit still, and then there was no more movement, leaving him alone.
Lu Jiamu stared at the mirror for two seconds, knowing that the mirrors in the interrogation room were made of glass with a trick, and there might be someone staring at him from behind.
This strange organization seemed very rigorous. After they arrived at the building, they led them all the way without letting them see any information that could reveal what they were doing.
So far, Lu Jiamu could only simply guess that these people might be an organization that studies abnormal things, but he didn't really understand them.
It's better to be a little timid. Lu Jiamu sat down on the chair obediently, quietly without any abnormal behavior.
After a long time, the man in black that he had seen before came in with another man in a white coat, holding paper and pen, swiping a card, and walked into the room and sat opposite him.
The white coat sat down, straightened the paper and pen, and asked, "Someone said that before the accident, they heard you shouting that the Internet police were coming. Is that true?"
Lu Jiamu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
"But as far as we know, no one will conduct inspections on Internet cafes today. May I ask why you are shouting like that? What is your purpose?"
“I really saw the Internet police.”
The man in black sneered, crossed his arms, looked him up and down, and spoke slowly, half sincerely and half threateningly: "We have obtained the surveillance outside the Internet cafe, and saw that you went around in a circle and ran back. Do you have some secrets that you cannot tell, or did you receive some signals in advance?
You may not know enough about us, but I advise you to tell us the truth now. Just for your own safety, if you don't want to be electrocuted for no apparent reason. "
"I really don't know who you are." Lu Jiamu asked, "Police?"
The man nodded. “Almost. But we are more special than the police.”
"I don't think I've done anything illegal."
The man spoke with a barely perceptible arrogance: "Under the doubt, the presumption is that you are guilty. Not only do we have the right to arrest you, we also have the right not to let you go."
When Lu Jiamu heard him say that, a nasty smile slowly appeared on his face, and he immediately changed his words: "I just thought it was fun. It was very interesting for me to scare minors like them. I really didn't see any Internet police."
There was a hint of contempt in the man's eyes: "It looks like you are a little naughty."
"well enough."
Seeing that Lu Jiamu seemed to be in a very rebellious mood, the man in the white coat coughed lightly, and the man in black crossed his arms and stopped talking.
The man in the white coat asked, "After verification, we are sure that at the time of the incident, you hit the victim with a swivel chair and warned other people present that the victim was electrocuted and not to get close. Is that correct?"
Lu Jiamu nodded slightly.
"Can I ask why you behaved like that at the time? Why do you think they were electrocuted?"
Lu Jiamu thought for a moment and said, "I saw the first person shaking, and when the second person touched him he also started shaking, and I felt like I was getting an electric shock. My elementary school teacher told us not to touch people with electricity, so I wanted to smash them apart."
The man in the white coat said gently, "It can be seen that deep down in your heart you are actually a very righteous and brave person. You didn't fully understand what was happening at the time, but you still chose to stand up and help them. It's really rare to find someone who can do this."
Lu Jiamu was not a fool. He knew that when this person praised him, they were about to start a double act. In fact, the two of them were just birds of a feather.
But seeing that one of them was playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, Lu Jiamu immediately revealed a simple and honest smile and scratched his head: "Really? I didn't think much about it at the time."
The man in the white coat nodded: "This is a rare and valuable quality of courage."
As he spoke, he flipped through the tablet he was carrying, stood up and walked to Lu Jiamu, and placed the tablet in front of him: "This is you, right?"
Lu Jiamu lowered his eyes and took a look. It was a personal file with a photo of him on it.
Name: Lu Jiamu
Highest level of education: Primary school
Occupation: Unemployed
Birthplace:……
The following is a brief and crude account of his unremarkable life.
Lu Jiamu then realized that although he was already an adult, he was still just an elementary school student.
Lu Jiamu looked up at the person opposite him and responded confidently, "Yes, it's me."
"It's like this. We admire people like you who are brave and would like to recruit you and provide you with a job opportunity." The man in the white coat smiled and promised gently, "If you can provide some valuable clues to help us investigate, perhaps you can become a very trustworthy companion of ours. We treat you very well here."
He flipped through another document and said, "Of course, the nature of our place is special, so we need you to sign a confidentiality agreement in advance. If you are willing, you can sign it and start work immediately."
Lu Jiamu couldn't tell for a moment whether this was just empty talk or they were really short of employees.
Although he might get some useful information if he joined them, his past experiences reminded him all the time that when studying abnormal things to the extreme, it is easy to become unscrupulous.
Maybe they are offering him an olive branch at this moment, not to recruit employees, but to recruit cannon fodder. Don't trust them too much.
"Ah... Thank you, thank you." Lu Jiamu smiled bitterly, "But what do you mean? Why don't I understand?"
"Don't play dumb." The man in black crossed his arms and looked at him coldly. "We need to know how you predicted this incident. Describe the mastermind of the incident. And whether there have been any unusual things around you recently. Whether any unusual people have given you any hints. No matter how big or small."
Lu Jiamu was unmoved and pointed at the solar plexus: "Do you have any serious illness here?"
"The one that sucks people in is high voltage electricity. You said you saw someone get sucked in by a mouse and electrocuted to death in an indoor Internet cafe. Don't you find it strange?"
"I was brave enough to do something righteous, but I saw something wrong?" Lu Jiamu pointed at the tablet and said confidently, "I only have an elementary school education, what can I know?"
The man in the white coat gave the man in black a reproachful look and said, "Captain, there's no need to be so anxious."
The man in black snorted disdainfully.
The man in the white coat turned his gaze to Lu Jiamu: "But what the captain said makes sense. This is indeed not a normal phenomenon. It may involve deliberate murder. And you are a key witness.
According to our past experience, about 60% of people who witness such incidents will be involved in related incidents again later. For your own safety, you should cooperate with us."
Lu Jiamu looked constipated, as if he was facing a group of people who didn’t understand what he was saying: “But I really don’t know what you want.”
The man in the white coat leaned forward and said, "How about this. If you can tell us that there is some kind of organization behind this phenomenon, or identify the mastermind behind this phenomenon, I can pay you 50,000 yuan in one lump sum, with no upper limit."
Lu Jiamu looked as if he had seen a ghost: "My morals do not allow me to take your money."
"It seems you have a strong sense of morality."
After the man in the white coat said this dryly, the two people opposite stopped talking, but they were not in a hurry to leave.
Not sure if it was intentional, but Lu Jiamu felt that the temperature of the air conditioner in the room had dropped a lot at some point, and after sitting there for a while, he even felt cold.
He asked, "Can you turn up the temperature? I'm feeling a bit cold."
The man in black smiled wryly: "I'm sorry, the central air conditioner is at this temperature and can't be adjusted."
Lu Jiamu knew that they were trying to freeze him on purpose, so he stopped asking for the temperature to be adjusted.
But the man in black stared at him quietly for a long time, and seeing that he didn't seem to mind his gaze, he suddenly asked knowingly: "Are you cold?"
"Um."
"You've been here for so long, but I haven't given you any water. Are you thirsty?"
Lu Jiamu nodded: "A little bit."
"You have so many things to do." The man in black turned his head to look at the mirror on the side, "Bring him some hot drinks."
Although the temperature in the room was still extremely low, after receiving the order, someone quickly came in with a cup of hot coffee, placed the coffee in front of Lu Jiamu, and then walked out.
The aroma of coffee spread throughout the room.
But Lu Jiamu saw at a glance that there were some small particles floating up and down in the black liquid. It was obvious that this was not just a cup of coffee.
Either something was added to it, or the coffee grounds were not filtered out. This group of people must have wanted to make him feel at home.
The man in black looked him up and down and asked, "You don't want to drink?"
"I don't like coffee." Lu Jiamu held the coffee cup to warm his hands, "When will you let me go?"
"In order to protect your personal and property safety and prevent you from encountering any accidents outside, of course we can't let you leave immediately. We can only ask you to stay in this room for a few more days. You don't have to worry about all the expenses here. We will pay you by the day when you leave."
Lu Jiamu seemed to react after hearing this, and he looked a little agitated: "You guys keep pestering me, and you say it's for my safety? In fact, you just think I killed someone."
As he was talking, he suddenly became overly emotional and threw the coffee cup in his hand at the white coat opposite him: "Then you should go investigate instead of forcing a confession here!"
The two people opposite had been watching his movements, and immediately stood up and dodged when they saw him.
But he attacked so suddenly that the man in the white coat just dodged a little and was not hit, but the coffee still spilled on him.
The white coat hissed from being burned and he immediately pulled open his lab coat.
But this still seemed unable to dispel Lu Jiamu's sudden rage, and he directly bypassed the table and rushed towards the white coat.
The man in black put away the tablet and immediately tried to subdue him.
But he didn't expect that the seemingly frail man in front of him seemed to be also proficient in fighting skills. The man in black failed to subdue him and was almost hit in the chin by a punch.
As soon as he took off his lab coat, he was grabbed by the collar by the angry Lu Jiamu again: "Then go and see if I know that person, and if I have any relationship with him!"
The white coat was a little frightened and could only try to comfort him: "Mr. Lu, calm down, I didn't mean that."
The interrogation room was soon in chaos when a soft "puff" sound was heard on the wall.
Lu Jiamu seemed to be hit by something and took two steps back.
The door of the interrogation room opened, and two more people ran in with some strange guns and shot directly at Lu Jiamu: "This person is behaving aggressively!"
The man in black took advantage of this opportunity and finally tied his hands behind his back and pressed him on the table.
Lu Jiamu started to struggle and yell, but after being pressed for a while, he gradually calmed down. But he didn't bleed, it looked like the tranquilizer gun was used.
The man in black waited for a while after seeing that he was quiet before letting him go.
The other two people had already cautiously approached. The man in black did not stay any longer and left with the white coat.
The two men walked out of the interrogation room, straightened the collar of their white coats, touched their coffee-stained white shirts, and their expressions twisted.
He lost his gentleness and friendliness and complained angrily: "Captain, what's wrong with you? I know you are anxious, but you can't force something out of every person you catch, right? He said he didn't know, he was just a passerby, you don't want him to deliberately admit something for money, do you?"
"And what on earth are you doing? What era is this still full of corporal punishment?"
The man in black quickly led him down a short corridor and into a small room next to the interrogation room. "You can't really not see that he's pretending to be stupid, can you?"
There is a large piece of glass in the middle of this small room. Through the glass, one can see Lu Jiamu, who seems to have fallen into a coma, and two people in the room who are dealing with the scene.
"I think he's really stupid."
The man in black raised his chin and said, "Feel your pocket. Where's your access card?"
The man in the white coat reached for his pocket and was stunned when he heard that.
"He stole it." The man in black said coldly, "That guy was very quick."
The white coat immediately asked: "Did you see it? Then why didn't you say anything just now?"
He was about to pick up the microphone to inform the people in the interrogation room when he was stopped by the man in black: "Because I want to see what he wants to do."
The two people in the interrogation room worked together to clean up the broken coffee cup, then moved towards the man slumped on the table, ready to search his body again as usual.
But because he had been quiet and motionless for a long time, the two people were not overly alert and had relaxed a little.
But when one of them walked up to him and was about to touch him, Lu Jiamu suddenly opened his eyes again.
The person who had put his hand on him was stunned.
Lu Jiamu moved without saying a word, grabbed the man and put him in front of him, at the same time pulled the man's gun and shot at the man in black in the distance.
The man in the distance immediately tried to fight back, but his several shots were blocked by the person Lu Jiamu was holding in front of him, and did not hit Lu Jiamu.
The man staggered two steps, then fell to the ground with a whimper. The man in black he was holding had also passed out because of the tranquilizer gun.
Lu Jiamu snatched the gun from the man in his arms, threw the man away, ran quickly to the door of the interrogation room, swiped his card and ran out.
Since he did not come in as a dangerous person, but was just a witness to an unusual event, no one was too wary of him. They only assigned two monitors to deal with emergencies. Now those two people were knocked down when they entered the room.
Behind the one-way mirror, the man in the white coat watched Lu Jiamu's clean and neat movements, and he became tense and quiet.
The man in black was not in a hurry to inform others. Instead, he raised his lips and asked, "Have you ever thought about this question? When we have no idea about the unknown anomaly and are still in the exploration stage, if someone who may know the truth hides what he knows, how much loss will we face? Every time we fall into a situation of ignorance, people die in vain."
"We are a special organization that has only a limited understanding of abnormal things, but we want to fight against them. Shouldn't we just use the word special in name and not be special in our methods?"
