Given that a large contingent of armed police has been deployed, Qin Hai, the bureau chief of the Public Security, naturally needed to inform both the Party Secretary Hu Zeming and Mayor Liu Yanrong. However, to his surprise, he was eventually connected not to the secretary or mayor, but to a phone call from the Nanjing Military Region.
"Are you Director Qin?"
A serious voice echoed faintly from the other end of the line.
"Yes, I am Qin Hai. Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?"
"Director Qin... I am from a Special Research Institute affiliated with the Nanjing Military Region. We have received the photos you sent... I want you to immediately mobilize all available police forces and sternly block off an area within a radius of 500 meters. No gaps can be left. No one is permitted to enter that area without explicit permission from our side."
