The essential details had been gathered.
The captain exhaled deeply while contemplating solutions.
"Xia Zixin, I'd like to ask you this. How exactly did you acquire these weapons?
"Did your father provide them?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Zixin, who had maintained an air of composure, suddenly grew tense.
While clutching the edge of her clothing and pressing her lips together, she hesitated to respond.
The captain furrowed his brow slightly and continued his inquiry.
"Xia Zixin, is there something you're afraid of?
"There's no need to be afraid. No matter what happens, the police officers will ensure your safety!"
Nevertheless, Xia Zixin remained silent.
At that moment, Saa approached. He crouched in front of Xia Zixin and ruffled her hair.
He asked her gently, "Xia Zixin, your father mentioned that the police officers are good people, correct?
"You're not allowed to lie to the police officers, correct?
"The police officer just promised you that no matter what happens, they'll protect you!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Zixin finally spoke.
She asked hesitantly, "Mr. Saa, if I tell you, can you promise not to tell my father?"
With a faint smile, Saa responded, "Of course, no problem!"
The captain seized the opportunity and added, "Rest assured, we won't inform your father!"
This made Xia Zixin laugh. She answered, "Actually, I s-secretly took them from the weapons display room…"
She had taken them herself!
In other words, even Xia Zixin couldn't confirm if these weapons had been specially processed!
The captain immediately became concerned.
Children really were just children; they viewed everything too shallowly.
Since she took them herself, these grenades were most likely lethal weapons!
Upon seeing the captain's expression, the others also realized the seriousness of the situation.
Fear settled over all of them.
Thankfully, they had evacuated rapidly and avoided any unexpected events.
Otherwise, on this day next year, they would likely be weeding their own graves.
The film crew exchanged glances. Their expressions were filled with mixed emotions.
They could discern traces of fear in each other's eyes.
"Why don't we just resign and go back..."
"I think working in a factory might be safer than being a cameraman!"
Even Saa scratched his head.
Who could've predicted that they would be stepping into a literal minefield on this day?
Meanwhile, the live broadcast had surged to the top of the platform's popularity while drawing over a million viewers online simultaneously!
"Oh my goodness…"
"This is getting a bit scary. That girl is so daring. Fortunately, nothing happened!"
"We could have seen a school blow up on this day."
"Is she really a child? How could a child bring grenades and pistols from home to school at her age?!"
"Guys, I'm picking up my child. It's too darn dangerous!"
"I'm doing the same. I can't afford this risk!"
Some were spectators, while others felt that their lives had suddenly become more animated.
What had started as a time-filling livestream had taken a nerve-racking turn.
Who would've thought such a terrifying incident would unfold at their child's school?
Could this school really be trusted?
If it hadn't been Xia Zixin, but someone else who brought weapons to school, it could've been disastrous!
...
The police captain had begun reporting the situation and preparing for the next steps.
Meanwhile, the film crew had congregated to discuss their next course of action.
"Saa, we need to wrap up this report; otherwise, the negative impact will be substantial!"
"Yeah, a dangerous situation has emerged in the school. We need to alleviate the public's fears!"
"We'll document how the police handle this situation, which should significantly mitigate the negative impact!"
"Otherwise, parents might not dare to send their children to school!"
After some deliberation, the film crew made a decision.
Saa then approached the police captain to request permission.
Considering the weaponry involved, livestreaming would require police approval.
The captain responded. "I'll need to seek approval from higher-ups. Please wait a moment!"
"Thank you, Captain!" Saa promptly nodded.
A little while later, the captain returned. "Higher authorities have granted approval. You can proceed with the livestream to counteract the negative impact on society!"
Upon hearing this, Saa became excited and reached out to shake the captain's hand. "Thank you!
"By the way, how should I address you, Captain?"
The captain smiled. "I'm Zhao, so you can just call me Officer Zhao."
Saa nodded. "Captain Zhao, I'll definitely fulfill this livestream mission!"
With that, he conferred with the team.
Then, in front of the camera, they began a serious report.
"Dear viewers, we have received permission to stream the coverage of this incident!
"We hope that our audience can place their trust in us, the police, and the nation!
"We're confident this matter will be handled expertly. There will be no mishaps!"
Upon hearing Saa's words, the viewers were immediately invigorated.
"Saa and his team are amazing!"
"I never expected to be tuning in to this!"
"Ban the trolls!"
"Exactly. This isn't something to be sensationalized. Let's all watch respectfully!"
"Why can't we discuss it? We need to think independently and consider why this happened!"
"Here we go again, I'm reporting you. It's so irritating!"
"This group of people has tarnished the concept of 'independent thought.' There's never been a time when we couldn't discuss; we just don't want to be led astray!"
...
It didn't take long for the police to start evacuating students and teachers.
Once the school premises were clear of students, several specialized armored vehicles rolled in.
From above, more than ten soldiers donning bomb-disposal suits and carrying detectors disembarked.
One soldier, in charge of the operation, communicated briefly with Captain Zhao before organizing the bomb disposal process.
At this point, Saa approached with a portable video camera.
"Captain Zhao, can I participate in this operation?"
Though Captain Zhao admired Saa's professionalism, he didn't immediately agree.
"It's a very hazardous situation in there. If anything goes wrong, you could be at serious risk!
"I recommend that you wait outside. Professional tasks are best left to the professionals."
While he said this, Captain Zhao still agreed to allow bomb disposal personnel to carry the camera in.
After all, these cameras were quite portable. They were about the size of a palm.
Viewers of the livestream finally glimpsed the situation inside the classroom once more.
A sense of tension permeated the air!
