Su Mo raised his hands, not planning to resist.
Even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't.
This Anti-Violence Team mber's entire body was equipped with "military-grade" prosthetics, two levels higher than his own, resistance would only lead to instant death.
After all, there's no Wind Spirit Moon Shadow in reality.
Moreover, it's August now, and Su Mo knows that the Anti-Violence Team mber is arresting him for "that matter," unrelated to this robbery...
The Anti-Violence Team mber took out electronic handcuffs and locked them on Su Mo, then scanned the chip under his wrist.
After recognizing the information, the Anti-Violence Team mber said expressionlessly: "Su Mo, co with us to the bureau to cooperate with the investigation."
Seeing Su Mo being arrested, Sona cried out: "Don't bully my brother! He's not a bad person!"
Poxuding also ca up to seriously advise: "What you're doing is wrong! He just helped us, how can you treat him like this?!"
The Anti-Violence Team mber said flatly: "The Public Security Bureau has related procedures for handling such incidents, please don't interfere with our work."
After speaking, he escorted Su Mo onto the hovercraft hovering outside.
Poxuding hurriedly searched his body, quickly caught up, and slipped a business card into Su Mo's pocket: "If they make things difficult for you, call this number, I'll help you hire a lawyer!"
"Thanks, you're a good person." Su Mo smiled at Poxuding, and boarded the hovercraft with the Anti-Violence Team mber.
...
"Shua——" A strong light suddenly lit up, stinging Su Mo's eyes.
This was the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau, gloomy, narrow, with only two strong beams of light focused on his face.
Su Mo was reverse-bound to a steel interrogation chair, opposite him sat two sheriffs in uniform.
He squinted, looking through the light curtain to examine the two individuals.
Heh, he really has quite a reputation.
The two people interrogating him were a captain and a vice-captain, belonging to the middle managent of the Public Security Bureau.
The vice-captain, with a cold face, was the first to ask: "Na."
Su Mo: "Su Mo."
Vice-captain: "What's your relationship with the victim?"
Su Mo: "Are you asking about the border uncle you beat to death or the little girl who was held hostage?"
Vice-captain: "The little girl."
Su Mo: "No relation, just a passerby, chatted a couple of tis at the sa shop."
Vice-captain: "Why did you take action?"
Su Mo: "Acting bravely for a just cause."
"Bang!"
The vice-captain slapped the table, his voice rising a few degrees: "A border person acting bravely?"
Su Mo smiled and asked in return: "Border people can't act bravely?"
The vice-captain coldly said: "You guys wearing dog tags, I'm well aware of your morals, trying to seize the opportunity to get in good with the rich? I've seen many people like you."
Su Mo nonchalantly said: "Sure, if you say so, then it must be so, not arguing."
"Bang!"
The vice-captain slapped the table again, heavily saying: "Watch your attitude! We're not discussing whether you're arguing, but your actions seriously endangered the victim's personal safety!"
"Did you ever think, what if you failed midway and caused the assailant's gun to fire, what serious consequences would ensue?!"
Su Mo shrugged: "Well, I didn't fail, did I? I only did it because I was sure I wouldn't fail."
The vice-captain sternly rebuked: "Such affairs should be left to the law enforcent officers on site, you shouldn't have intervened recklessly!"
Su Mo: "Leave it to you? Oh, just obediently prepare a hovercar, and the assailant flies with the hostage to the border district, then you say according to the 'Border Isolation Act', it's not within your jurisdiction, and you can't send people to pursue."
"And then? Let Poxuding himself pay the ransom? Lucky to get his daughter back, unlucky to get one finger back each day. You pass the buck, anyway it's happening in the border district, no one's held accountable, right?"
The vice-captain furiously slapped the table: "Damn border people!"
The captain, who hadn't said a word, raised his hand, signaling the vice-captain to be quiet.
The captain spoke, his voice very gentle: "Mr. Su Mo, your courage is comndable, and ultimately didn't lead to disaster, so we won't say much more. This ti we brought you in just to understand so circumstances."
Su Mo sneered inwardly.
Here it is, one sings the harsh tune, the other the gentle tune.
Classic.
The beginning is all groundwork, and then they ask what they really want to know.
Captain: "What were you doing in Sasser No. 1?"
Su Mo: "Ordering a tailored suit for business use in the future."
Captain: "The suits at Sasser No. 1 aren't cheap, how does a border person like you have such money?"
Su Mo: "There's no law stipulating border people must be penniless, right?"
Captain: "You can break soone's wrist with one hand, quite strong. What kind of work do you usually do?"
Su Mo: "Doing odd jobs for people, collecting so remuneration when appropriate."
Captain squinted his eyes, slowly uttered two words: "rcenaries?"
Su Mo laughed and said: "rcenaries? What rcenaries? I'm just a warm-hearted citizen who likes to help others."
Captain glanced at the law enforcent recorder beside him, understanding.
He asked: "For example, what do you help people with?"
Su Mo: "Walking dogs, feeding cats, things like that."
Captain smiled slightly, opened the file on the table: "Walking dogs and feeding cats can earn so much money? Your Edge Technology, registered only a few days ago, already has tens of thousands in funds."
Su Mo: "Oh, the people hiring are quite generous, they reside in Anmi New District, and take good care of ."
Captain's eyes showed deep insight, stood up and turned off the law enforcent recorder.
He looked at Su Mo aningfully: "Which middleman are you working for? Dress? Jin Taiyu?"
Su Mo: "Captain, asking like this violates the rules."
Captain said flatly: "Alright, let's talk about things both of us understand. New Moon City is rcenary City, we generally are more tolerant towards rcenaries."
"Usually, we definitely wouldn't arrest you, but since you're from the border, you should know 'that ti' is approaching."
Su Mo: "King's election."
Captain: "Right, King's election, an annual traditional activity of the border violent groups. Among the groups, one force strong enough to command respect must be selected to manage the entire Border District as the 'King of the Borderlands'."
"During the King's election, group activities beco extrely rampant, with open and hidden struggles, fighting intensely, even attacking the Inner City."
"To prove their strength and achieve the purpose of commanding respect, the thugs will do anything."
"Therefore, to respond to the upcoming King's election, the Public Security Bureau has recently initiated a crackdown; any cases involving border people must be questioned."
Su Mo shrugged: "I'm not involved in any violent groups. I said it, I'm just an ordinary rcenary, doing business for money."
Captain nodded: "Hmm, your record is clean, no suspicious points. Just a reminder, be cautious with the commissions you accept recently, don't engage in overly rampant activities, otherwise neither you nor your middleman will be able to protect you."
After finishing, the captain unlocked Su Mo's handcuffs and signaled he was free to leave.
At this mont, a sheriff knocked on the door and entered, pointing at the phone in his hand.
The captain answered the call briefly, then handed the phone to Su Mo: "It's for you, you're in luck."
