Chapter 97 Crime and Punishment 2 (Part 2)

10:03 am

Zhao Zhen woke up from his sleep and smelled a scent. Taotao, who was tied next to the bed, was still sleeping. After getting up, Zhao Zhen immediately went to the kitchen and started to make breakfast for Taotao.

Taotao also woke up at this time. After she stood up, Zhao Zhen came over after a while, put a bowl of nutritious porridge on the table, and unhooked Taotao's handcuffs. She stood up and said thank you.

Recently, Zhao Zhen has taken care of everything about Taotao. Taotao also feels that such a man is really reliable. If he is not a rioter, he will be fine.

"Can't you stop?"

Taotao took a sip of the porridge and felt that it tasted great. Only people who are careful can make such a taste. It was just like the food cooked by their parents in the past. It was not only delicious, but also safe.

Zhao Zhen was silent. He just smiled. After Taotao finished eating the porridge, he came in with a glass of juice. Although it was made with fruit flavoring agent, it contained many nutrients that pregnant women needed. .

Taotao looked at her slightly bulging belly. She had experienced less morning sickness recently, and the restlessness in her heart had also lessened a lot.

Taotao's parents passed away when she was still in college, and she had to rely on herself to do everything after that. With her excellent language skills and innocent and cute appearance, Taotao was selected by CBV after graduating from the Journalism School. .

Later, because of his relationship with Pan Hua, he soon became a first-line anchor. Originally, his next step was to enter the entertainment industry to participate in TV series or movies, or even release a song album. However, this unexpected pregnancy disrupted his career. Peach for everything.

Now that she has reached this point, Taotao is also very clear that whether she can survive is still a problem, because Zhao Zhen is a rioter. Every time she thinks of Zhao Zhen, Taotao always feels warm in her heart, but in reality, there are riots. Various cruel incidents caused by elements brought Taotao back to reality.

Taotao didn't know what Zhao Zhen wanted to use her for, but it was definitely not a good thing. Taotao wanted to have a good talk with Zhao Zhen today for some reason.

"Am I going to die?"

Taotao asked, and Zhao Zhen, who was tidying up the room, stopped.

"Maybe."

Taotao lowered her head and hummed, then turned on the light screen and watched the morning news. Pedestrians were allowed to go on the streets in many places, but the time for each person to go on the streets was limited. The whole city was now under martial law.

Except for some companies that ensure the normal operation of the city, other companies have gone out of business. Congress also announced that it will give all citizens a subsidy in the future. According to the region, people in each region will receive a subsidy of up to 50 yuan a day. .

The introduction of this policy made the people interviewed in today's news report applaud. Such a decision is quite heartwarming during the period of martial law.

“Isn’t the current city bad?”

Taotao asked, and Zhao Zhen smiled.

"I don't belong to the present, I only exist in the past! And the past has passed, so everything in the past should end, and so should all the hatred in the past."

Zhao Zhen's slightly ferocious expression made Taotao shudder. Taotao no longer planned to ask anything, because no matter what he said, Zhao Zhen would act according to his plan.

Zhao Zhen doesn't care whether the city is good or bad now. He only needs to know the pain he suffered in the past and the despair and powerlessness of the past.

The creators have not sent any message until now. Zhao Zhen can probably guess that most of them should be gathered underground at the Reed Theater, but Zhao Zhen does not intend to have any further entanglements with them.

The creators are just tools for their own revenge. Zhao Zhen's revenge plan has been basically laid out. He just needs to continue to be patient and wait for an appropriate time to vent his anger and hatred to the entire city.

No one needs to pay for everything in the past, but someone must put an end to everything in the past. This is what Zhao Zhen thinks. He must put an end to his past.

However, at this moment, a special program appeared on the TV screen, with Zhao Zhen's name clearly written on it. Taotao exclaimed, and soon Zhao Zhen was attracted to it, because K in a white suit appeared on the screen. , is the object of Zhao Zhen's incomparable hatred.

The program directly announced everything about Zhao Zhen and that he was a rioter, and K served as a special invitee for the program. The program was based on the serial bombings caused by Hydera more than 30 years ago as the background.

"First of all, I would like to express my most sincere apology to all those who died in the subway bombing!"

K stood up and bowed to the screen. Zhao Zhen's expression was completely frozen, his eyes were bloodshot, and Taotao sat aside in fear.

The ratings of the TV show began to rise all the way, and K also said that he would announce some details of the investigation of the subway hostage-taking case that year.

The program supporter first explained the origin of the Hydra case more than thirty years ago and how Hydra appeared. After a series of brief explanations, the supporter began to ask K.

"I would like to ask Mr. K, how did you discover Hydera's last action?"

K started talking to the camera.

There were a total of 57 consecutive bombings in Hydera that year. The last one occurred at three locations, the Trung Building, the District 30 subway station, and the No. 3 Metal Plant in Hossen in the west.

At the beginning, the first problem was in the Trump Building. The Operations Department used all its strength to quickly block the surrounding area and planned to rescue the hostages in the building. In fact, Hydra and his team also captured Mo Xiaolan's boyfriend, who was still the director of the department at the time, and hijacked more than 100 people in the subway station half an hour after the Trump Building hostage incident began, and then placed bombs in the subway.

The rioters at the time planned to let the subway loaded with bombs rush all the way to the area where the Congress is located and explode underground.

The three actions started together. The reason why the problem in the subway was discovered was that Mo Xiaolan repeatedly reiterated when the building incident occurred that the other party's approach this time was not that simple.

In the end, only C, who was still a secretary at the time, listened to Mo Xiaolan's advice, so C discovered the abnormality in the subway at the first time, and the hijacking incident in the factory occurred ten minutes after the building incident, just to divert the attention of the Operations Department. The real purpose was the subway.

K talked about some details, but basically the original appearance of the matter. Many people have seen some reviews of the case, but most people are most concerned about what happened in the subway case at the time.

"It was too late. If the subway was activated, even if it didn't explode near the Capitol, it would explode on any street, and the number of people killed would not be more than 100, but tens of thousands."

"So you were........."

K said bluntly before the host finished speaking.

"We chose most people. Many hostages died in our tough exchange of fire, but we successfully stopped the subway from running. Although it exploded in the end, everyone in the area had been evacuated, and no one was injured on the ground."

"You liar."

The moment Zhao Zhen saw this, he roared in anger, because Zhao Zhen learned after entering the Creator that the three explosions made by Hydra would not have caused any casualties, but because of the recklessness of the Operations Department, they chose most people and eventually led to such a result.

The bomb in the factory was not remote-controlled, but timed. There were more than a dozen people held hostage at the time, and most of them left the factory under the evacuation of the Operations Department, but the Operations Department did not take any tough measures, but just waited.

As a result, the time came and the bomb exploded. Hydra had left very obvious clues and told the people in the Operations Department that this was a time bomb. If they worked hard to investigate, they would definitely find it, and there was enough time for them to dismantle it.

The same was true for the building incident. Hydra let everyone go at the last moment, and he and the building perished together. The same was true for the subway incident. In the end, the Operations Department made an arbitrary decision in the last few minutes to attack directly.

Although the subway exploded in the end, such an explosion could only affect a range of more than ten meters. There was no powerful bomb at all. All the truth had been subverted and covered up that year, and it was the gods who did all this.

Hydra's last attack was to prove something, but the Operations Department knew it, but still did it as always. At first, Zhao Zhen didn't believe it too much, but K, who came to visit him, told the truth.

The strong attack of Section 2 made the rioters take action. In the end, a large number of hostages died in the exchange of fire. In the end, the subway was stopped by Section 2, but the power of the explosion was very small. K also left the Operations Department because of self-blame for this incident and became a beer merchant.

Zhao Zhen kept talking about everything that happened at that time, and every sentence was refuting K's words. Tao Tao, who was standing by, looked at Hydra in shock.

"It's all your fault. If you had chosen to endure it at that time, you would have won, and no one would have died. Giving up the minority for the majority is your choice. So what should the minority do? Should they suffer such pain?"

Zhao Zhen smiled sadly, because he knew that this problem was unsolvable, but Hydra had given enough hints to the Operations Department. In the end, only Mo Xiaolan found these hints, but no one heard her voice.

In the end, Mo Xiaolan could only rush to the factory alone to look for those bombs. Although she dismantled some, she could not dismantle all the bombs with her own strength. In the end, the explosion occurred, and Mo Xiaolan became what she is now.

Before that, Mo Xiaolan had been warning C and K, asking them not to do anything, even if the subway was gone, because it was fake, it was Hydra's lie.

However, in the end, C and K made an irreversible decision and took action, and tragedy occurred. The factory incident was the same. After seeing someone holding a detonator, the Operations Department evacuated most of the people and left more than a dozen hostages inside. If they went in, they would be buried with them. This was what most people thought at the time.

"Hahaha, liar, are you still lying? At this time, do you still have to pretend to be righteous?"

Zhao Zhen sat on the sofa in despair, slapping his forehead. Taotao wanted to comfort him, but the words of comfort were swallowed back at the end.

10:41

Mo Xiaolan sat quietly in the office, watching K still talking about the incident more than 30 years ago on the light and shadow screen, and she laughed helplessly.

Originally they thought they had won against Hydra at the last moment, but in the end they still lost miserably, just like what happened when Hydra was sentenced to prison.

At that time, Gene happened to go to the Ramparts to deal with some things, although Gene rushed to the factory as soon as he returned to the city because the factory was closest to the Ramparts.

Mo Xiaolan carefully recalled everything that day. She had noticed it a long time ago, since Hydra started making bombings. Those who died in the bombings were hiding some unspeakable secrets. Hydra did not choose them for no reason.

In the past thirty years, Mo Xiaolan finally figured out what Hydra had done two years ago. He knew a lot of secrets in the thirty years in prison. From these secrets, he found a lot of criminals hidden in the city, and he locked the bombing case among these criminals.

Two childhood friends who died in a bombing case that Nia had personally experienced in the past had completely different identities. One was a star and the other was a woman in the special service industry, but the two did not have no contacts. When they were students, they had conspired to rob and kill, but this matter was never exposed.

This is Mo Xiaolan's comprehensive analysis of the case, and after hearing something from a criminal in prison, he determined that the two women who were killed in the explosion were criminals.

Mo Xiaolan knew why Hydra did this, because he just wanted to prove that he was the winner. He was indeed the winner, a winner full of lies. He really won. At the moment of death, he fell with the collapsed building, which proved that she won.

Recalling this past, Mo Xiaolan only felt inexplicably sad. The person he loved most died in front of him. At the last moment of his life, the man chose to pounce on him. As a result, he was only severely burned, but the man lost his life forever.

A tear slipped out, and Mo Xiaolan wiped it hurriedly. Lillian behind him patted Mo Xiaolan on the shoulder.

"He made himself look extremely dangerous and terrifying, but the real horror is the human heart, or the human heart that is unwilling to believe, because Hydra clearly said at the beginning that this was just a punishment game. At that time, many people only saw the punishment, but not the word game!"
