The host is red and black, and the system can only chirp

Xi Mingming didn't dare go back to Uncle Aga's house again.

She didn't dare to face the dead silent house, nor did she dare to face the numb faces of the uncle and aunt.

Just a few days ago, there was laughter and joy there.

Although their life is difficult, the uncle and his family are warm and sincere.

Xi Mingming went to Benny's house again just three days ago.

Through her connections, she got a set of military uniform that Benny used to go to college. Together with Uncle Aga and Auntie, they burned it in front of Benny's grave, which was the result of the boy's years of struggle.

……

The entire Latin American news bureau is considered a large branch in Taiwan, covering six neighboring countries, and has a fixed office space and staff dormitories in Sao Paulo.

But the City of God usually only sends one foreign correspondent, so Xi Mingming is lonely.

She moved to the hotel where Xu Xiaoming had rented a room.

During the day, I do bilingual reporting, connecting with more than a dozen editorial departments in China, covering current affairs news, in-depth observations, new media, video reports, etc.; at night I deal with urgent commissions from the editorial department.

The most important work is also being followed up - the special topic she planned, "The City of God under the Control of Guns and Drugs"; tracking...the shipping company in China that colludes with local drug dealers.

=====

In the early morning, Xi Mingming opened the document again, and the page still stayed on the report about Benny.

This week, she started writing and stopped writing again and again.

For the first time, Xi Mingming, as a reporter, didn’t know where to start his report.

Just a few minutes of video and a few photos are Benny's short life.

Xi Mingming sat stiffly in front of the computer, his thoughts in a mess.

The phone received a text message from Uncle Aga——[The police are clearing out Vidigal. 】

Without time to verify, Xi Mingming immediately called his local photographer Ali, and the two quickly reunited and drove to the scene of the conflict.

……

When Xi Mingming and Ali arrived, the police had already blocked off Vidigal and the adjacent slums.

In addition to police cars, there were also several military armored vehicles at the scene, a helicopter hovering overhead, and more than 100 special forces officers and more than 200 special police soldiers entered the community in two groups.

Xi Mingming found the police chief Cabral, with whom he had just had an argument a week ago, and applied for a follow-up filming.

Cabral's face turned extremely ugly when he saw Xi Mingming. He had been waiting for the other party's report on the boy who was mistakenly killed this week, but he never got it.

No one would be happy with the sword of Dalmos hanging over their heads.

Xi Mingming looked determined and obviously would not back down easily because of a rejection.

After feeling aggrieved, Cabral said in a cold voice: "I don't have the authority to approve it. There is a risk of life at any time on the scene. You need to report to your supervisory unit. As for the rest... you can follow if you want, regardless of life or death."

"I accept."

"Put on protective gear!" Cabral reminded stiffly.

"……Thanks."

Xi Mingming and Ali put on the bulletproof vests and helmets provided by the police.

Xi Mingming held the radio equipment tightly, and Ali carried the camera. The two followed the special police and advanced towards the hillside along the steep and winding alley.

Lights were turned on in the slums, and residents spied on police and reporters through glass.

……

After the operation lasted for two hours, the police advanced to the entrance on the mountainside.

The area where Nem had stood guard.

Helicopters rumbled low in the sky, but the help they provided was limited. The houses here were crowded, the terrain was complex, and the Atlantic rainforest vegetation grew in the gaps.

Xi Mingming was doing on-site reporting amid the sound of gunfire when he heard a series of loud "bang bang bang" noises in front of him. The violent explosions shook the earth.

She rushed forward, grabbed a SWAT officer and asked, "What happened?"

The SWAT officer said coldly, "The armored vehicle was burned. The drug dealers poured oil on the steep slope in advance, causing the armored vehicle to slip and unable to move forward. The drug dealers took the opportunity to throw gasoline bombs at the armored vehicle."

"Both armored vehicles here were burned."

Xi Mingming spoke with difficulty: "Have the people inside... evacuated?"

The special police pulled Xi Mingming away, replied "Not sure at the moment", and rushed forward with guns.

……

The police stopped their attack temporarily as their advance was blocked. There were too many people and everyone was forced to huddle in a small square to rest.

Xi Mingming observed his surroundings in the night.

The garbage at the curved corner of the small square has been cleaned up, but the Favela Painting Foundation did not stop because of Benny's death.

They painted the walls and ground of the square with bright colors.

Xi Mingming's eyes became hot, but Benny couldn't see it.

She raised her eyes and looked forward. The fireball was blinding and the armored vehicle was still burning.

"Perhaps, when journalists are in a foreign country, all they should do is objectively state the truth of the incident."

……

Cabral found Xi Mingming and said, "The drug dealers are watching us from a high place and they know you are following us."

What do you mean?

Cabral's expression was not good. "Tonight was a trap. They knew the police's plan long ago."

Just as he finished speaking, intensive gunfire rang out from the top of the mountain - the final warning from the DU trafficking group.

Xi Mingming even had a feeling that the DU dealers were making fun of the police tonight.

……

Five minutes later, the police retreated and Xi Mingming stopped filming.

Cabral told Xi Mingming, "Tonight's operation was not a failure. We have taken control of the Maria slum next door."

Xi Mingming casually asked according to the interview habit he developed in China: "How many DU dealers have been successfully arrested?"

According to her, Vidigal, one of the slums controlled by the drug trafficking group, has deployed more than 100 armed forces. Even if the Maria slum is smaller than Vidigal, the armed forces will not be much less.

Cabral was silent for a moment, then he answered, "3 people."

After a pause, the chief explained, "During the search, many suspects fled into the rainforest and residents' shacks. We will call on residents to help the police find suspects, weapons, and drugs hiding in the community."

“Will the residents agree?”

……

Benny's next-door neighbor, Carlo's father, once firmly told Xi Mingming that he had heard that after the police took control of the slums, they abused and insulted the residents there.

Benny's other neighbor, Aunt Silva, who runs a small candy store, is worried about the police's crackdowns from time to time, but she still has hope.

"Who wants to be neighbors with drug dealers? But there is no other way. We also want to tell the world that we are not all drug dealers, but just ordinary people."

Uncle Aga, he was once a staunch supporter of the cleanup movement.

Residents have different stances.

……

“Residents of the Maria slum told us that they allowed the police to search their community. Now that the police have taken the first step, there is no going back,” the commissioner said.

"I am sure people will assist the police," he said.

Xi Mingming was speechless for a moment.

The director's speech was very positive.

But before tonight, the control of Maria slum was still in the hands of DU dealers... When did the police obtain the consent of the residents?
