Chapter 104 Crime and Punishment 5 (Part 1)

"Hurry up, please don't panic, follow the indicated route."

In a residential area in District 49, many people rushed to the streets. The people from Section 5 were conducting evacuations. In front of them was a large block with thick smoke.

A fire had just broken out here, but with the help of the fire-fighting robot, the fire had been brought under control. The next problem was the smoke and dust.

Section 5 had already set up a cordon, and a large number of residents were temporarily placed in temporary light and shadow houses with intervals on some empty streets.

"It's almost done."

Nia said solemnly, and Noah laughed. In front of him was a huge metal object, and the thick smoke was coming out of this place. Because of the fire in District 49, emergency power fuse measures were taken, and the network was now completely disconnected.

It was almost 6 o'clock at this time. After discussing the battle plan with Mo Xiaolan, they immediately began to implement it, using fire to directly and rationally disconnect the network. The information fed back to the rioters by the AIs should be that the power supply was disconnected because of the fire, and the network in the area was stopped.

Noah has also called some fire-fighting robots with built-in signal jammers and deployed them nearby. This illusion is just to find out if anyone has taken over Zhao Zhen's bomb package.

This is a risky move. District 49 is the area between the two explosions, between the two explosions in Districts 48 and 50. Many places were selected before, but in the end Mo Xiaolan decided to conduct bomb inspections in this area.

As long as a complete bomb is found, Section 10 will be able to make an instrument to detect such bombs, and then the bombs hidden in the city can be dismantled.

Time is running out, and it is necessary to determine whether there are rioters hiding in District 49. District 49 has undergone several rounds of inspections before, and the probability of rioters is the lowest.

This is also the reason why Mo Xiaolan chose this area to check for bombs. This is a gamble. If you lose, the rioters should realize that the Operations Department has known about AI and start to guard against it.

Area 49 was also the area where no explosion occurred on the night when the rioters attacked Section 2 a few days ago. After careful calculations from all aspects, Mo Xiaolan ruled out many things and felt that this place should be the safest.

The only question now is how many people's weaknesses Zhao Zhen has mastered and how many bombs he has sent out. This number should be a lot, after all, he has been secretly planning for so many years.

"Almost."

Noah said that he asked several staff members to turn off the smoke generator, and the investigation officially began. People from Section 3 have been mobilized to block the periphery of Area 49.

Mo Xiaolan said that there is only 2 hours. If it is not unblocked after this time, I am afraid that the rioters will notice it.

At this time on a street, a family of three had just entered the temporary resettlement house, and a person from Section 5 knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, have you received such a package? If so, please tell us. This kind of package is very likely to contain a bomb."

The family was startled, then took a look at the package in the picture, and quickly said that they had not received it.

Because the packages in the Brilliant City are classified by size, the packages in the photo are homemade, so the size is different from the packages used in the city for many years.

The number of members of Section 5 who had been slowly transferred to District 49 half an hour ago has exceeded 10,000. There are nearly 200,000 people living in District 49. If one person checks 20 people, it can be completed within 2 hours.

"Please confirm it again. If you really receive it, please tell us, otherwise there will be a tragedy."

The members of Section 5 who entered the house were still confirming repeatedly. The family shook their heads and said that they had never seen such a package.

The doors of every household were knocked open. It was almost night, and the people in Section 5 had prepared strong lights in advance to provide lighting.

Many residents complained that they could only eat liquid food because there was no electricity. The explanation of Section 5 was that because the burned place involved the intersection of the circuit, emergency repairs were being carried out, and it would take at least 2 to 3 hours to restore power supply.

The investigation was in full swing. Niya looked at the screen quietly. She only needed to find one.

At 6 o'clock

The artificial sun went out, and the block fell into darkness. Soon, strong lights came on, and the noisy noise resumed. On the screen, the number of people being investigated has reached 2317. So many people have been investigated in just a few minutes, and the number is still moving up every minute and every second.

"Relax, Niya, we have at least 3 chances."

Noah said, Niya hummed and lit a cigarette.

After this investigation, if nothing is found, the next area selected for investigation will have some problems. The investigation will start as soon as the power outage begins. People from Sections 3 and 5 have been drawn in advance, and the staff of other nearby sections will also cooperate in the investigation.

One hour passed quickly, and the number of people being investigated has exceeded 100,000. There is still one hour left, but there is still no news.

"If there is a problem with the power supply system, it will trigger a chain reaction. So if there are problems in other areas, it is also within a reasonable range, or within the reasonable range considered by the AI. Facing an invisible enemy, we can only do things that the enemy considers reasonable."

As Noah spoke, Niya frowned slightly.

"Can you say less? I've been listening to you nagging for an hour. Is there any way to solve this damn superfluid weapon? My people can't die in vain."

Noah hummed.

"Don't worry, there will be a solution. I promise you."

Just as Noah finished speaking, a message came immediately. It was suspected that a family had received such a package. Niya was shocked and immediately jumped onto the roof and went directly to that family. Niya came to an apartment building. Several people from Section 5 had arrived. Niya opened the door.

"Stand away, I can do it alone."

Niya turned on the light on her mobile phone and entered the resident's home. She quickly opened the door of a utility room. After searching for a while, she didn't find anything. Niya picked up the things one by one. Soon several special forces came in and started to help.

After a while, everyone found a package similar to the one in the photo in the corner. Niya picked it up and signaled the special forces to leave. It opened the package directly and sighed immediately.

The thing was not a bomb, but a child's toy. It had been opened and checked, but there was nothing inside. The hope of finding it with great difficulty was dashed again, which made Niya a little helpless.

Soon the matter was figured out. Some of the things that this family had bought before, because they had worked elsewhere before, many of these things had not been opened. This package was just an ordinary package. After the size test, it was indeed from the courier company.

The time soon came to 8 o'clock. All the residents had been checked, and no one who received such a package was found.

Soon the power supply was restored, accompanied by a cheer, and the blockade was lifted, but the network was not restored. The reason given by the Operations Department was that there was a problem with the server due to a sudden power outage and it needed to be repaired.

At this time, in the upper 15th area, the lights suddenly went out, and many people exclaimed. Soon the voice of the Operations Department came from the street, and the power equipment had a fault.

Because the circuits of District 15 and District 49 are on the same line, many people came out of their homes. Because of the darkness without light, many people were not used to it. However, the people from the Operations Department came to them soon.

A new round of interrogation began again. Niya came directly to District 15. She wanted to get the results as soon as possible. There were only about 150,000 people in District 15, and the investigation should be much faster than District 49.

If the bomb cannot be found in this plan, the rioters will know once the network is restored.

And the city's network cannot be disconnected. Once it is disconnected, the lives of the residents and the factories that are still in operation will have big problems.

In just 10 minutes, 4,000 people have been checked. If the bomb cannot be found this time, they still have one chance, which is also the last chance. At this time, a report was submitted. Niya quickly ran out of the command center, and more than a dozen special forces followed.

The group soon came to a villa. The owner of the villa was already outside. He lowered his head and looked a little indescribable.

"Tell me, what did someone catch you with?"

The man swallowed.

"Yes..."

Niya ignored her and quickly entered the house. Soon she found the package in a corner of the man's library with a pile of books. The moment she opened it, Niya smiled with relief. It was a square black metal object.

Niya did not touch it or move it, because the bomb was very likely to have a positioning function. In less than a minute, people from Section 10 came over. Noah led people in directly, and soon all the things in the room were moved out.

Noah planned to complete all the investigations on the bomb directly in this room. Now it has just been less than an hour. Before 12 o'clock tonight, they will definitely complete everything.

"Don't worry, if the bomb explodes, I can ensure everyone's safety."

A bunch of Section 10 staff members wearing protective clothing nodded. If it were other section chiefs or secretaries, they might still be a little worried, but Noah was different. The yellow particles had already diffused in the air.

Once the bomb explodes, Noah can quickly create an air wall for each staff member, which can completely protect them.

Niya sat in the villa, and the man in front of her looked uneasy. He was the boss of a company. He had already explained that he accepted the things given by the rioters because he was caught with a handle, and he also explained the whole process, but the man never spoke about what kind of handle he was caught with.

"Hurry up and tell me, if you don't tell me, when the matter is over, you will be directly classified as a crime of endangering the city, and then you can think about it slowly in prison."

The man immediately stood up in fear.

"Sir Niya, don't joke, I said it this time, isn't it a merit, can you let me go?"

Niya laughed.

"Tell me what kind of handle the rioters caught you with?"

The man swallowed, sat down and thought for a long time before finally speaking.

The man was originally penniless and came from the bottom of society. Back then, the man had a like-minded friend. The two of them seized some business opportunities and started a small company together. Later, the company became profitable, and this was when disagreements arose.

The man and his friend disagreed, so there was a disagreement. The man thought that relying on some gang members could expand the business, but his friend disagreed. In the end, the two quarreled and the company began to suffer losses.

The man had to part ways with his friend, but if the company gave his friend a large amount of shares now, the company might be finished. The man didn't want to see his hard work go to waste, so he secretly planned something with the gang members.

The man's friend knew about it, but in the end he could only reluctantly agree to the man's conditions, automatically withdraw from the company, and only took away the 3,000 yuan invested at the beginning.

The man thought everything should be stable. In just one year after cooperating with the gang members, the man's company expanded. However, what he didn't expect was that the friend who was threatened by his tricks actually found criminal evidence of his collusion with the gang members in this year and reported the man.

The man's company was directly closed down, and then he was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison. The man was very angry, and anger made him lose his rationality. He gave a lot of money to the gang members, and then the former friend disappeared in the city.

At this point, the man lowered his head with a guilty look on his face. Niya lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke, and then said.

"Whatever you want to do, you have enjoyed enough for so many years. In view of your performance in this bombing case, you will be given a certain reduction in sentence. The sentence should not exceed 20 years, so you only need to spend 20 years in prison. You can manage the company yourself, or you can hand it over to your family or professional managers."

Niya stood up and said, the man seemed to be relieved. Niya stared quietly at the room on the second floor. At this time, she only hoped that Noah would solve the problem as soon as possible, and then start to check bombs throughout the city, because there are too many people like this man in the city who have unspeakable secrets.

"It's okay, Niya."

Noah opened the window and shouted, and Niya's expression was completely relaxed.

"Immediately mass-produce detectors. We must detect and defuse all bombs in the city tonight."
