On-site situation.
The killing was carried out in public, with many witnesses.
The corpse's neck was twisted, and the manner of death was obvious.
The situation is tricky, but not impossible to manage. The key is to quickly determine the nature of the problem and take the initiative.
Zhao Lin's mind raced, and he made a decision in an instant.
Without any hesitation, he turned to the side and reached out his hand to an adjutant behind him.
The adjutant understood immediately and handed over the standard kinetic weapon without hesitation.
Zhao Lin took the gun, lowered the muzzle, and aimed it at the inspector general's corpse on the ground.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three crisp, clean gunshots rang out.
The potential energy bullet pierced the body's vital organs, leaving behind gruesome bullet holes and torn flesh, destroying the body's original fatal twisted neck wound.
To the astonishment of everyone in the Thunder Bureau, Zhao Lin, after finishing off the enemy, casually tossed the weapon back to the soldier, as if he had simply completed an ordinary procedure.
Then Zhao Lin slowly raised his head, his expressionless face sweeping over the three Thunder Bureau captains at the front, his voice carrying an undeniable iron-blooded tone:
"During this joint operation, this person is suspected of colluding with the Changshengmen stronghold, embezzling public funds, protecting criminals, and leaking information, which led to the exposure of our undercover personnel and caused significant losses."
Zhao Lin spoke slowly, each word clear and distinct, striking the hearts of everyone in the Thunder Bureau:
"After verification, the evidence is conclusive."
"Based on Article 7 of Chapter 3 of the Wartime Special Control Regulations, the military headquarters authorized our department to take emergency measures against internal threats that endanger the joint operations system."
He paused briefly, his gaze sweeping over the newly appeared bullet holes in the corpse, before adding in a completely flat tone:
"Because he violently resisted arrest during the process and attempted to destroy key evidence, threatening the safety of military personnel."
"Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Lin of the Dragon Blade Special Forces has been shot dead on the spot in accordance with the law."
Zhao Lin stepped forward, the cold metallic gleam of his epaulets reflecting sharply in the rain, exuding an imposing aura.
"If the Thunder Bureau's Supervision Department has any objections, it may submit a written appeal to the Jincheng Military Headquarters within three days, following due procedures."
But at this moment—
Then, his voice suddenly turned serious, carrying a clear battlefield command tone:
"Everyone, stay put and cooperate with the military's temporary control measures."
"Those who disobey orders will be dealt with according to wartime regulations."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Dragonblade special forces members behind him stepped forward in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Although they did not raise their energy weapons, their unified aura and chilling killing intent had already formed an invisible cage, enveloping everyone within it.
Under such pressure, not a single member of the Thunder Bureau dared to utter a word of rebuttal.
They know perfectly well that rules and laws have always served the purpose of those who make them and those who enforce them.
At this moment, these original executors have been forced to switch places with a more powerful force.
The rules then changed accordingly.
The Hei brothers hesitated, their expressions complex, but ultimately said nothing.
The three brothers had absolutely no say in either of the two official factions.
Li Yu, who had been observing from the sidelines, also turned her gaze at the same time.
He didn't expect there would be follow-up 'reinforcements,' not only from the military but also from the Zhao family.
The support from Thunder Bureau came after the Black Brothers reported and called for it.
Zhao Dezheng did not request reinforcements, but military reinforcements arrived in time.
The well-equipped and swiftly responding elite military force before us could not possibly have been hastily dispatched after receiving a temporary order.
It's more like it was deployed nearby long ago, in a standby state, until it was triggered at this moment.
There's only one possibility: Zhao Dezheng's whereabouts and safety are extremely important to that General Zhongzhou.
It may even be necessary to secretly dispatch elite troops to be on standby nearby in case of unforeseen circumstances.
However, Zhao Lin's handling of the situation on the spot made Li Yu's lips curl into a slight smile.
It's true what they say, fortunes change.
Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Lin is decisive and ruthless in his actions.
The rhetoric and tactics used to control the situation are strikingly similar to those employed by the previous inspector general who attempted to label and forcibly accuse them.
Their methods are practically identical.
Ironically, the same method was now being used on the inspector general himself.
Fight magic with magic;
Use program to crush program;
This saved a lot of trouble.
However, Zhao Lin acted more decisively, more domineeringly, and with more confidence.
After all, he had the military headquarters and generals standing behind him.
Unfortunately, the inspector general, who was already lying on the ground, did not live to see it.
In the pouring rain, Zhao Lin quelled the entire scene with his swift and decisive actions.
They quickly resolved the conflict between Zhao Dezheng and the chief inspector, classifying the chief inspector's death as "killed in accordance with the law."
Only then did his sharp gaze slowly shift, warily looking at the firebird standing quietly in the rain behind him.
Its entire body was engulfed in flames, and the rainwater evaporated into wisps of white vapor before it even touched it, as if it were draped in a hazy veil.
Its inherent energy and spirituality made him secretly alarmed.
A flying beast of this strength could not possibly appear easily within the territory of Zhongzhou.
This only shows that the firebird somehow managed to completely escape or even evade the detection of Jincheng's tight surveillance network.
Flying beasts are a huge variable, even a threat.
Moreover, this firebird clearly did not fly into Zhongzhou from the border; it may have already existed within Zhongzhou's borders.
Such a presence caused a slight alarm bell to ring in Zhao Lin's mind.
But he forcefully suppressed the impulse.
