Chapter 109: Press Conference for the Case
Due to the release of the two suspects, the team leader had been attacked by countless people online.
But when the video of his sacrifice spread online, many people could no longer criticize him.
The team leader of the task force became the hero in everyone’s eyes. Only a small portion of people remained stubborn and blamed him for not letting the criminals go before. Otherwise, it would not have incited the anger of the public, let alone create opportunities for the terrorists.
Of course, such comments made up only a small portion. Once they were published, they would cause a large number of netizens to collectively denounce them.
Due to the terrorist attack, the citizens who had wanted to participate in the peaceful protest also stopped. The demonstrations at the various police stations’ entrances immediately decreased.
After all, people were afraid of meeting terrorists again. No one could guarantee that another police officer would sacrifice his life for justice. No one could guarantee that they would not lose their lives after meeting terrorists.
The day after the explosion, the police station held another press conference about the case.
This time, the person sitting on the rostrum was no longer the team leader who had guaranteed to the public that all the criminals would be brought to justice. Instead, it was a police officer with white hair at his temples.
His face was cold as he held the microphone, “My name is Bai Ze. I am Chen Mo’s direct leader. Chen Mo is that fool who lost his life yesterday!”
“From today onwards, I will take over as the leader of his task force and lead his police officers to continue their work. I will arrest all the suspects involved in the mental hospital case!”
“I’m not doing this to fulfill the citizens’ wishes. I’m just doing this to give the sacrificed police officer an explanation! To give this police uniform and the justice in my heart an explanation!”
His sharp gaze was like a goshawk as though he was staring at a criminal in the distance. “I know that after saying these words, I might lose my life like Chen Mo, but I don’t care. Because justice will never bow its head to evil!”
With that, the police officer named Bai Ze stood up and put on his hat. His red eyes could no longer be seen on camera.
He saluted the camera and left the venue.
This short press conference did not design any touching segments, but many of the audience watching had tears in their eyes.
The citizens’ emotions were complicated. They had previously hated the police for their inaction, and now they were feeling guilty because of their sacrifice. They did not understand why they were crying. Was it because of the police who had sacrificed themselves bravely? Or was it because the road to justice was difficult? Or was it because they were moved by the countless people working together?
The two suspects who had just ended their imprisonment and regained their freedom were called Wang Mao and Liu Cheng. They were currently gathered in the VIP room at the airport.
Liu Cheng also saw the police conference on TV in the VIP room. He paced around in frustration. When he walked over to Wang Mao, he couldn’t help but raise his hand and slap him.
“Look at what you’ve done? It’s all because of you that it’s become like this. Will you die if you don’t take drugs? Will you die if you don’t show off? If you don’t film a video and upload it online, will you die?!”
Liu Cheng pointed at Wang Mao’s nose and scolded, “Initially, we could have left China quietly and started a new life overseas. At that time, you could have done whatever you wanted and created as much trouble as you wanted. However, you deliberately caused such a huge ruckus in China and incited the anger of the public. If not for you, how could those lowly commoners have uniformly gone to the police station to demonstrate? How could there have been a terrorist attack?”
“Now the leader of the task force is dead. His supervisor, Bai Ze, has taken over the task force. Do you know what kind of person Bai Ze is? He’s the same as the leader of the task force. He has a bad temper! Let me tell you, if we really get caught by him, I’ll definitely kill you!”
