Chapter 310
Reading Settings
This time period coincides with the peak time for disembarking. A total of four trains arrive at the station at the same time. If the lockdown is not implemented in time, human traffickers may be able to slip away with the children, making it much more difficult to find them later.
But then he turned and glanced at Du Chenzhou.
Even though things aren't clear yet, we can't just let people go so easily.
"You guys keep a close eye on them and take them to the security office. Make sure you check all their documents and ask them all the necessary questions. The rest of you, come with me and seal off the train station. We absolutely cannot let these guys go. Even if the sky falls, we'll wait for me to come back."
This attitude clearly indicated they were going to detain him. Howard's face turned red with anger, and he spat as he spoke.
"You're imprisoning me! You have no right to do this. We're here on important business, and I won't say another word to you until our host arrives!"
Du Chenzhou…
What important matter is it?
Is he afraid that the situation isn't chaotic enough already?
Lusca's expression was even more exaggerated; he used every trick in the book, almost to the point of lying on the ground and throwing a tantrum.
He had originally come with the intention of establishing friendly diplomatic relations, but these little incidents along the way have completely ruined his mood.
He died before he even reached his destination, and was mistaken for an enemy.
But no one was listening to their explanations at this moment, and time was already tight. Liu Shang pointed at Du Chenzhou with one hand.
"No matter what happens, you'd better keep an eye on your two friends."
Regarding the Detroit case, once the outcome is clear, a special department will take them away. Right now, the most important thing is to get the children back.
The train station was in chaos. Trains that had already arrived could not disembark passengers, and people who had already had their tickets checked outside could only wait. Time passed by, and Du Chenzhou had never felt that a day could pass so slowly.
When the police arrived, Du Chenzhou was still earnestly trying to persuade the security personnel to apologize to Howard and his companion.
"Given the current tense international situation, we should not be skeptical of international friends coming to our country for exchanges. Otherwise, it will only make others think we are not generous, which will only deepen the international stereotype of us and will not be of any benefit to our diplomatic relations with other countries."
Especially since the two of them came with a mission, and an accident happened at this critical juncture, not only would the small security department of the train station be unable to bear the responsibility, but even the entire public security department would be unable to do so.
Yang Xue checked the two men's identification documents. Although there was no direct evidence to prove that they were enemies, Liu Shang had given a strict order before leaving.
“If things go wrong, we will naturally take the corresponding responsibility, but our section chief repeatedly instructed us before he left that none of you are allowed to leave before he returns.”
After he finished speaking, he looked up and met Du Chenzhou's gaze. "This is also our job. Please understand and cooperate."
Du Chenzhou took a deep breath. Everything requires evidence, but even if they couldn't find relevant proof, they still had to muddy the waters.
He argued with reason, "Your words have no effect on calming us down. I hope you can put your words into action. At least you shouldn't be acting this way right now!"
Zhang Yang from the Ministry of Public Security approached with a cold expression. "We received a report here, and the public has indeed produced relevant evidence."
Du Chenzhou was stunned.
Where would you get any evidence for something that's completely fabricated?
Zhang Yang's eyes were fixed on him. "After our verification, there are indeed enemy agents on this train."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the person next to him, and the person behind him quickly searched under the seats in the private room and found a package.
Howard and Lusca were completely baffled, not knowing what they were trying to do. Zhang Yang unzipped the package, and on top were some clothes, but when he flipped it over, he saw a small black box inside.
The police officer's expression changed. Zhang Yang opened the black box, took it out, and placed it brightly in front of Du Chenzhou.
"The latest signal receiver developed by the United States was advertised in the newspaper last month, as I recall. Since your two friends are foreigners, they should be familiar with international newspapers. You shouldn't be unaware of these things, right?"
Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes, his suspicious gaze fixed on Du Chenzhou.
"I can ask a reasonable question: what is the purpose of you and your friend carrying these things?"
Howard could tell something was off from the other person's expression. Although he didn't know what they were talking about, he recognized the object in the other person's hand.
He waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "This isn't our stuff, and this package isn't ours either."
The situation happened too suddenly. Du Chenzhou hadn't paid much attention to their luggage along the way, and for a moment he was at a loss for words. Even if he had a mouth all over his body, he couldn't explain himself clearly.
"Officer, is there some misunderstanding? My friend said these things don't belong to them. With so many people on the train, it's common for things to be misplaced. We can't just label them based on their appearance. That's not a fair decision."
In fact, their appearances are a major hidden danger. Even if there are any dangerous people on this train, they could easily be replaced by them.
Especially since these items were indeed found under their seats, Du Chenzhou was in a real bind.
They had already arrived in the capital, and yet they still unwittingly stirred up this mess.
"Whether there's a misunderstanding or not, you'll have to explain it clearly at the police station. In short, matters concerning national security cannot be delayed for even a moment!"
After he finished speaking, he waved one hand forward, and several people were pulled and dragged up.
Howard struggled incessantly, shouting, "This is forced imprisonment! What you're doing is wrong! I promise you'll regret it!"
Lusca looked at Du Chenzhou with a blank expression. "Zhou, what exactly happened? Why did you take us away? These things aren't ours at all. Why didn't you investigate?"
Making such a decision based solely on a single package seems far too hasty.
They cannot accept it.
