Chapter 8 Deployment
A man walked in front, crouched down, and carefully examined the traces along the riverbank. After a moment, he stood up and said to his two companions behind him, "What a pity, he still got away. We're already on the edge of the suburbs; it'll be too difficult to find another opportunity like this."
One of the young men replied, "Captain Ma, the brothers have done their best. We've paid a heavy price for this operation."
Not only were three armored vehicles lost, but more than a dozen patrolmen were seriously injured and are currently in the ICU. Fortunately, the bomb ultimately managed to severely injure one of them.
Hearing this, another team member chimed in, "Yeah, Captain Ma, the city government has a lot of complaints about us now. If it weren't for Director Zheng helping us withstand the pressure, we'd all be in big trouble."
Ma Dui shook his head helplessly and comforted him, "Alright, stop complaining. Quickly tell everyone to call it a day. That guy is injured and shouldn't cause trouble again anytime soon." With that, he turned and left the scene.
Just then, the moonlight shone directly on the faces of the three men. It turned out that these three men were Ma Mingzhe, the captain of the Harbin City Patrol Team One, and his team members Zhao Kai and Liu Ming.
The headquarters building of the Harbin Municipal Inspection Bureau.
Ma Mingzhe took the elevator to the director's office and gently knocked on the door.
A deep voice came from inside. "Please come in."
Ma Mingzhe pushed open the door and stepped into the office. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that in addition to Director Zheng, there was also a middle-aged man in a black uniform sitting in the office.
When Director Zheng saw that it was Ma Mingzhe who walked in, he stood up, took Ma Mingzhe's hand, and led him to the middle-aged man.
Director Zheng introduced the middle-aged man: "Director Zhong, this is Ma Mingzhe, the captain of the first inspection team of our Harbin Inspection Division, a valiant general."
He led his team to investigate and resolve all cases related to Orphino in Harbin.
Director Zheng turned to Ma Mingzhe and said, "This is Director Zhong Guanghua from the capital. He has now been appointed as the director of the Special Affairs Bureau branch in Harbin."
Director Zhong straightened his uniform, smiled, and politely extended his hand to Ma Mingzhe, saying, "Captain Ma, please take good care of me from now on."
Ma Mingzhe looked bewildered, grasped Director Zhong's hand, his mind filled with doubt. Then, he quickly realized what was going on and hurriedly asked, "Director Zheng, are you just betraying me? Also, Director Zhong, what kind of department is this Special Affairs Bureau? And what does Orphino mean?"
Director Zheng smiled helplessly after hearing Ma Mingzhe's words and explained, "How could I bear to sell you? If it weren't for the mandatory requirements from above, I wouldn't have let such a key general go so easily. Alright, I won't say any more. Let Director Zhong explain the matter of the Special Affairs Bureau and Orphino to you in detail."
After saying that, Director Zheng returned to his seat and began working.
Director Zhong looked at Ma Mingzhe, then gestured towards the door, indicating that Ma Mingzhe should go out with him.
Although Ma Mingzhe was full of questions, he followed Director Zhong out of the office and gently closed the door behind him.
After the two of them took the elevator downstairs, Director Zhong finally spoke up, saying, "I'll answer your question now."
The Special Affairs Bureau is directly under the Cabinet and is responsible for handling incidents like those involving the Orphnochs, which are the humanoid creatures you encountered.
Furthermore, the Special Operations Bureau has only recently been established in Harbin, and the personnel have not yet been fully assigned. Since you previously led a team handling issues related to Orphino and have some experience, I have suggested to my superiors that you be transferred to the Harbin Special Operations Bureau to serve as the captain of the action team.”
After listening to Director Zhong's explanation, Ma Mingzhe's doubts were resolved, and he nodded to indicate his understanding.
Then he asked, "So, Director Zhong, what do I need to do now?"
Director Zhong looked at Ma Mingzhe with a hint of appreciation in his eyes and immediately replied, "The first thing you need to do now is to gather your former team members and bring them to our Special Operations Bureau's base in Harbin. As for the base address, someone will send it to you later." As he spoke, Director Zhong took out a device that looked like a wristwatch from his pocket and handed it to Ma Mingzhe.
He added, "This is a communication device used by the Special Affairs Bureau. You can also check information about Orphino on it. I have other things to take care of here. Hurry up and take your people there. There's a surprise waiting for you."
Without waiting for Ma Mingzhe's reaction, he got into the waiting car by the roadside and drove away.
Seeing this, Ma Mingzhe stopped thinking about what the surprise Zheng had mentioned was, and turned to send a message to the members who had participated in the operation to capture Wolf Orphino, asking them to assemble at the training ground within 10 minutes.
Then he walked towards the training ground. When he arrived, several members had already arrived, including Chen Sisi, Zhao Kai and Liu Ming. When they saw Ma Mingzhe coming over, they all gathered around him.
Zhao Kai spoke first: "Captain Ma, what happened? Has that guy gone out to cause trouble again?"
"It's not about that. I'll talk to you all when everyone arrives. Let's get the team organized first," Ma Mingzhe said.
As time passed, everyone who had participated in the arrest operation, except for those who were injured and hospitalized, arrived at the training ground. Ma Mingzhe counted the number of people, and it was exactly 35.
Afterwards, Ma Mingzhe looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and roughly recounted what Director Zheng had told him to these 35 people.
He asked loudly, "I presume you understand the responsibilities and dangers of the Special Operations Bureau. If anyone wants to withdraw, say so now, otherwise there will be no chance to back out once we arrive at the Special Operations Bureau's base!"
The crowd below exchanged glances, straightened their backs, and their eyes gleamed with determination.
In response, they said: "We understand that the Special Operations Bureau bears a heavy responsibility and is aware of the dangers involved, but we are not afraid. If we back down in the face of danger, we would be letting down the citizens who stand behind us, the country that raised us, and the comrades who were injured before!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Mingzhe felt a surge of excitement and said, "Well done! You are all the elites of the Patrol and Inspection Division. In that case, go and make your preparations. I will take you to the Special Affairs Bureau to report later."
Just then, a crisp sound rang out, and the wristwatch communicator on Ma Mingzhe's wrist emitted a notification tone.
He raised his hand and glanced at the screen. It was a message from the Logistics Department of the Special Affairs Bureau. The message read: "Captain Ma, the vehicle has arrived at the entrance of the Inspection Division. Please lead the team to the vehicle and depart."
The message also included the detailed address of the Harbin Special Investigation Bureau.
After reading the information, Ma Mingzhe led the prepared team toward the gate, where several black armored vehicles bearing the Special Affairs Bureau's insignia were neatly parked.
After Ma Mingzhe methodically directed everyone to board the vehicles, the convoy quickly left the inspection station.
Director Zheng stood quietly by the office window, watching the car drive away, his eyes revealing a mixture of worry and relief.
