671 My Honorable Brain Is Coming Out! (1)
After such a thing happened, the pressure on the Central Province’s Public Security Bureau could be imagined.
After all, it would be fine if some mutants had planned to attack the residents.
This kind of thing happens occasionally in the Central Province, the largest city in the Eastern Continent.
However, in hindsight, this seemed to be caused by the masked man.
It could be said that it was indeed an undeserved calamity.
If they had discovered the abnormality in the hotel earlier, things would have been easy to deal with.
After all,it was found out that the people in the hotel were all working for an underground organization after investigating their identities.
If they were the only ones who died, the Public Security Department could just issue a statement and pretend that nothing had happened.
However!
Who knew why these corpses would suddenly attack people?
By the time the high-ranking officer of the Public Security Department arrived, more than ten civilians had already died.
The matter had also completely fermented.
Knock, knock, knock!
Just as Xu Wenbo was frowning, there was an urgent knock on the door of his office.
“Enter!”
“Chief!”
As soon as the door was pushed open, the person gasped and said loudly,
“There are many people outside. They’re the families of the victims of the corpse attack.”
“Now they want an explanation!”
“And they even said…”
Seeing that his subordinate was panting before he could finish speaking, Xu Wenbo frowned and said with an ugly expression.
“What else did they say?”
“They said that if the Public Security Department doesn’t come out to catch the murderer, they will have to do it themselves!”
Upon hearing this, the expressions on Xu Wenbo and his two deputies’ faces became extremely ugly.
After all, such words were tantamount to pointing at their noses and calling them “trash”.
But the problem was… no matter how hard they investigated, there was no trace of the masked man.
Although there were cameras in Central Province, it was only a part of the city.
Later on, they used the corresponding mutants to investigate this person’s identity from various aspects. They could only find out that this person was male, and his scent had never appeared in the Central Province for a long time.
The method he used was… similar to using the black tentacles on his body to attack.
Based on this information, it could only be determined that this person was not a resident of Central Province.
They really didn’t know anything more.
Now that these people wanted to look for it themselves, Xu Wenbo even had the urge to agree directly.
He wanted to see if they would come to the Public Security Bureau to curse after he found them.
Talk is cheap, to be an armchair quarterback!
“Go and get rid of them. Tell them that we’ve stepped up the investigation.”
“Yes!”
After calling his subordinates away, Xu Wenbo sat in his chair and began to subconsciously knock on the armrest.
The higher-ups only gave him seven days…
“Chief, why don’t we… find someone from the Mutant Association to help?”
“There are so many capable people there. They should be good at finding people, right?”
Hearing the deputy’s words, Xu Wenbo couldn’t help but glance at him.
He said crossly:
“Don’t we have such talents in the Public Security Department?”
“The problem is that it’s been so long. Hasn’t those with video reconstruction mutant ability and smell tracking mutant ability all been activated but to no avail?”
“In the end, all we could get is just a rough location.”
The Central Province was a super-large city that could accommodate tens of millions of people. Back then, just the surrounding city walls had to take ten plus years to build.
One could imagine how large it was.
The drive from the south gate to the north gate would take four to five hours.
In such a big city, they would not be able to do anything if the culprit found a remote place to hide.
All these years, even with the help of mutants, there were still many unsolved cases in their Public Security Department.
However, the impact this time was really a little too great.
Three private rooms in a rather high-end entertainment venue had been affected. Nearly 20 people had been sucked dry.
Other than a dozen special industry practitioners, the rest were all descendants of people of some status.
That was why the family members outside dared to clamor for him to find the murderer.
It was precisely because of this that the situation became even more uncontrollable.
If they were all passersby who had been attacked last time.
The Public Security Department was actually confident in suppressing the matter.
After the fermentation last time, the impact of the incident was already about to be appeased.
In the end, this person who had committed the crime seemed to want to make the people of the Public Security Bureau lose their reputation. He had done it again at this critical moment.
Xu Wenbo’s pressure could be imagined.
At the same time, in an underground rental house in Central Province, Wu Gang looked at the news he had created on his communicator with a helpless expression.
“Didn’t you say to keep a low profile?”
“Why did you suddenly suck those people dry?”
“It wasn’t easy for us to sneak into a place where mutants often come and go.”
Well, it was an entertainment venue.
Moreover, it was not low-grade.
Because the descendants of handsome men, beautiful women, and high-ranking officials often went there, there were many mutants there.
After all, mutants also needed to eat.
Besides, many of these second or third-generation mutants were mutants.
Therefore, he blended in and became a staff member who specialized in night work.
