Chapter 2 Carmen

"Sir."

"Sir."

"Hello, sir."

As Carmen Moleno passed through the corridor, every agent and civilian who passed by her stopped and greeted her respectfully.

Only a few people can enjoy this treatment at FCPS's European headquarters, and Carmen is one of them.

Those who can become "Federal Security Inspector" before the age of 25 are usually regarded as "super elites", while those who can become "Deputy Minister of FCPS Headquarters" before the age of 25... can only be described as "monsters".

Carmen, the 24-year-old vice minister, can be said to be a well-deserved "monster".

Although she is a woman, a pretty woman, no one ever thought that her terrible promotion speed had anything to do with her beauty.

When you open her resume, you can see... besides being excellent, it is excellent.

The top school, the top score, the top training record...even the family background is the top because the word "confidential" is filled in that column.

On the internal FCPS file, if you see these two words written on a person's family background information, you can basically translate it as - "You are fucking meddling in other people's business. If the times have not changed, people like you would have to kneel down when they see him/her."

Carmen had completed the academic program that ordinary people might not have been able to complete in twenty-five years at the age of eighteen. At the age of twenty, he had completed the FCPS training course and became a formal agent. A year later he was promoted to public security inspector.

She had never known what kind of mood the people who didn't get first in the exam were in. Any test she participated in was challenging herself, and other people had never been regarded as competitors by her.

During the FCPS training camp, Carmen broke several best test results maintained by men and greatly improved the record.

Some jealous people once expected that this "exam-taking machine" would be dizzy after becoming a formal agent by various unpredictable situations on the scene, but she solved every task she handled with unimaginable efficiency, and was perfect in both on-site response and written reports.

Gradually, no one treats her as a "person" anymore...

Instead, she is regarded as a benchmark and a direction of effort, and no longer has the same envy, jealousy, or admiration for her.

It's like... you'll be jealous of someone around you who looks better than you, but you'll never be jealous of a character in a comic that looks better than you...

People directly regard Carmen as something completely different from themselves, and some even suspect that she is actually a "terminator" in human skin, but no matter what others think, she still does what she does and breaks common sense one after another.

Beep, shout—

After a simple and fast iris verification, the electronic security door of a "command room" was opened.

Carmen's figure appeared at the door.

She had short chestnut hair, and her slanted bangs covered half of her forehead and one-third of the corners of her eyes; she was bare-faced, but she still had a look that you could not ignore; she was wearing the women's uniform of a high-ranking FCPS officer, and her conservative style could not hide her imaginative perfect figure.

But at this moment, the investigators in the command room had no time to look back at her because they were all busy with their own affairs.

Carmen did not disturb them either. She just stood there silently, observed for a moment, and roughly understood what the people in the room were doing.

Then she stepped forward, walked to the podium, picked up an idle headphone from the table and put it on, and turned on the broadcast system in the room: "No matter what you are doing now, stop."

Her voice was not recognizable because it sounded very nice; but her decisive tone and the volume set by the amplification device at this time still successfully attracted people's attention.

A few seconds later, the agents who heard the sound turned their heads one after another. When they saw that the deputy minister was speaking, they all obediently stopped.

"Don't worry." After the room was quiet, Carmen looked at the main screen on the wall of the command room and said, "Look at the situation first... When you need to take action, I will assign tasks to you."

Her leadership ability and the aura of the superior are also innate. Even though most of the people present were older than her, she quickly controlled the scene and calmed down.

At this moment, what Carmen asked them to "see" was undoubtedly the trial show in "Fengdu Luoshan"...

…………

At the same time, somewhere.

In the dark and spacious space, a middle-aged man with a severely bald forehead and a pair of shorts was sitting on a metal backrest chair and shivering.

A light shot from a high place shone on his body, his hands and feet were fixed on the chair by handcuffs, and four feet of the chair were nailed to the concrete floor; his eyes and ears were sealed by an integrated black shield, and his mouth was stuffed with a ladybug-shaped mouthball.

Although the temperature in this space is very comfortable, he is already sweating profusely, as if he had just finished taking a shower.

At this time, right in front of him, there was a camera in the shooting state; in addition, there was a man wearing a black sweatshirt, a cap and a Peking Opera mask on his face, carrying a camera, responsible for some mobile and close-up shots.

This is undoubtedly the shooting scene of the "Judgement Show". Of course, the one on the chair is definitely not the "judge", he is the "judge" Borg today; the one in charge of the camera is not the judge, his identity... Let's talk about it later.

The real judge is just about to appear.

sir, sir, sir...

Every time, he appears with such footsteps, because he is wearing cloth shoes and walks lightly.

Like the cameraman, the judge also wore a Peking Opera mask, but the judge wore a red robe, just like the same bright red version of the black robe of the God of Death in Western legend.

Soon, the judge walked to the camera and said in a muffled and coarse voice that was obviously processed by a voice changer: "Hello everyone, I'm back, and..." As he said that, he tilted his head and took a few steps back while looking at the camera, "bringing you a new gift..."

At this point, he happened to come to Borg's side and removed the cover from the latter's face.

"Um? Um! Um... Um--" Borg, who suddenly regained his vision and hearing, began to struggle after a brief adaptation. He stared at the masked man beside him fiercely and let out a vague cry.

Although he couldn't say the complete words with his mouth in his mouth, it was not difficult to guess from his eyes and tone that what he was saying was "Who are you? What are you going to do? Do you know who I am? Let me go!"

"Lucas Borg." The judge bowed slightly like a magician, spread his arm, looked at the camera sideways, and made an introduction gesture to Borg on the chair.

…………

At the same time, FCPS Europe headquarters, in a command room.

"0017,0018, through our resources, we will check the same product with the mask on Borg's face and the mouth ball in his mouth. In the past six months, both the buyer and the seller will conduct further investigations."

Carmen has started giving orders.

"Yes, sir." After receiving the instructions, the two people with numbers 17 and 18 in the department immediately made a promise and began to execute.

People like Carmen must remember the number of everyone in this headquarters, of course... She also remembers their names, but she doesn't like to call colleagues by names at work, because it can easily create an illusion for subordinates such as "the superior has an impression of you, is very familiar with you, looks forward to you, and has a good impression of you."

"0601, enlarge the pupils of Borg in the picture as much as possible, and I want to know what else is outside the camera."

"Yes, sir."

"0377,0057...Analysis of the details, try to find out where the clothes fibers on the judge's body, cement on the ground, materials used in the chairs, and handcuffs."

"I understand, sir."

"1901,0452, I want to know what type of equipment this live broadcast was shot, what is the professional level of the debugger, if possible... Then analyze what kind of lighting equipment the light source above his head comes from and how far away it is."

"Yes, sir."

"Collegemen from the Internet Department can continue to do what you were doing before I came. As for others, please use your private communication equipment... Be careful that it is private, and never use the organization to send it to you... Through a commercial network from the outside world, connect to this website, open the live broadcast page, and standby."

"Yes! Sir!"

In less than a minute, Carmen issued several commands in one breath, which made the agents and civilians in the command room busy again, but the busyness at this time was completely different from the inefficient and chaotic busyness that were previously... At this moment, everything seemed efficient and orderly; everyone knew what they were doing and what to do, and those with expertise were assigned tasks that suited them.

In just this minute, the agents who had been struggling in the "Fengdu Luoshan Special Task Force" for four months ignited new hope; they couldn't help but think... If Chief Moleno had been transferred a few months earlier, they might have solved the case and taken a vacation.

…………

On the other hand, live broadcast.

"Mr. Borg, I'm going to take off your mouth ball now, but before I take it off, I have to make a few requests." Seeing that Borg slowly recovered from peace after struggling for a while, the judge said, "Please don't yell, spit, or interrupt me at will, otherwise, I, who is quite patient, will respond to your behavior based on my current mood."

"Um...um." I don't know what Borg said, but it seemed to respond.

Immediately afterwards, the judge took off the ball from his mouth and threw it aside.

"I suddenly lost consciousness and was arrested when I was parking in my garage! Send someone to the scene to check! Come and save me!" This is the first sentence Borg said after he restored his speaking ability.

It can be seen that he yelled out these contents at the camera after thinking.

But sometimes, it can be stupid to think about what you do again.

"How do you know that I must be broadcasting live? What if I told the audience that it was broadcasting live, but actually playing videos?" The judge immediately asked Borg a question, and while the other party's face became more and more serious, he added, "Also... Even if I am broadcasting live, even if investigators have arrived at your house to conduct an investigation before you say this, do you think they can definitely track down your whereabouts through the scene?"

Borg was speechless, fear and despair grew rapidly in his heart.

"Let's take a step back, even if they really find this place, can you guarantee... can you be rescued alive?" When he said this, the judge suddenly took out a folding knife from his red robe with wide clothes and pulled a finger-long hole on Borg's thigh.

"Ah--" Borg was in pain and screamed, but he could not do anything to resist with his limbs.

"Okay, there's such a small wound, and the artery has not been cut. Don't be like a girl." The judge walked around the back of the chair and said as he walked, "This is just a reminder that the request I just made is still valid... Next time you make such a fool, I will not be scratching your legs."

When Borg heard this, he stopped shouting; because the other party was right, the hole in his leg was so hot that it was not too much to bear, and the depth of the wound was not very serious.

"Okay, Mr. Borg, don't waste everyone's time." Seeing that he seemed to understand the situation, the judge continued, "We all know why you came here today, don't you?"

"It's all rumors!" Borg immediately shouted firmly, "I've done nothing! The official has proved that I'm innocent!"

"Sorry, I'm not a conference hall for the federal government." The judge was already walking back to Borg at this time, shrugging and answering, "I'm Fengdu Luoshan..." He spread his arms and continued leisurely, "Here, your so-called 'official voice' is not more convincing than the voice of any ordinary person... Who told the truth, who told lies, what were rumors, and what were covered truths... I know everything. Because I am..." He gently put his hand on his chest, "...Judge."

There is nothing false in the judge's words.

He personally investigated every person he brought to "Fengdu Luoshan"; he arrested them every time on the premise of fully grasping what these people had done.

"Why are you so sure? Are you a federal policeman? A FCPS agent?" Borg was actually testing the other party.

This action not only made the judge laugh, but even the cameraman laughed.

"Hahahaha..." The judge laughed for a few seconds and continued, "Mr. Borg, to be honest, you are quite interesting; the judgement show requires people like you to participate..." He paused for a moment, his tone suddenly cold, "The more you do not repent of your behavior and try your best to escape the blame, the more you can bring us pleasure in the end."
