Since they were all burnt fragments, the pictures on them were very faint. Even if Meng Chao used his spirit energy to stimulate his brain cells and pushed his calculative abilities to the max, it was difficult for him to accurately recreate the full picture.
He shone the light on his phone and studied it for a long time. He could only tell that it was the internal structure of a building, including the streets around the building.
Based on the structure of the building, it was a warehouse that stored crystals and monster materials.
The raw crystals that had just been mined were incredibly unstable. The slightest tremor or temperature could turn them into ticking time bombs.
Even if they did not explode, their quality could easily change, and they might release radiation that was harmful to the human body.
Once the raw crystals were transported to a densely populated city, they had to go through special treatment. It could be considered as part of the refinement process.
It was the same for many monster materials. They had to sit still, ferment, and be treated by all sorts of microorganisms before their acidity and toxicity could be broken down so that they could release their nutrients and energy to the maximum.
Hence, many of the mega corporations, cultivation families, powerful organizations, universities, and research centers in Dragon City had their own warehouses to store all sorts of high-value and dangerous materials.
The warehouse map and the topographic map of the streets around it had been marked with red and blue pen.
There were also complicated circuits and a series of time numbers.
'The ones marked with a red pen seem to be the routes to break into the warehouse from the perimeter.
'The ones marked with a blue pen are the four routes that can allow one to retreat with ease.
'The time numbers beside them should be the shortest and longest time needed to break in and retreat, right?
'As for this, it's the distribution of the guards in the warehouse and the firing points.
'Unfortunately, more than 70% of the pictures and information have been burnt. I can't tell just which warehouse this is, but it's enough to tell me the problem.'
When he connected all the clues together, there was no way Meng Chao would not know what Ning Lang intended to do.
He had suffered major losses during the pathfinding operation, so he was prepared to take a risk and rob a warehouse filled with crystals and monster materials!
It was only by robbing a large amount of valuable raw materials that he could clear his debts so that his family could live a good life without having to worry about food and clothing.
Logically speaking, this sort of material warehouse would have a few superhumans guarding it. It was not a place that normal criminals could rob.
But Ning Lang had the Deification Capsule, which could allow normal people to instantly possess superhuman strength for a short period of time. It was enough for him to complete one robbery.
These unlucky debt collectors had probably stumbled upon Ning Lang's plot.
Or could it be that Ning Lang and his companions had already taken Deification Capsules, and while their fighting strength increased by leaps and bounds, their rationality had largely disappeared? They turned into puppets with killing intent and killed the people who were in their way?
No matter what, since Ning Lang had already killed someone, it was impossible for him to delay any longer.
He and his accomplices left without hesitation. They must have gone to rob the material warehouse without stopping!
The devastating sight of the developing land in the wild rose in Meng Chao's head.
The robbery itself was secondary.
The point was, if Ning Lang and his companions took too many Deification Capsules and went berserk, they would turn into killing machines. Before they killed Meng Chao, they would definitely kill more innocent people!
"This won't do! We must stop Ning Lang!"
Meng Chao blew away the ashes and crawled back to the ground with all the shredded papers.
The cell phone signal was restored again.
But he still could not contact Ye Xiaoxing and Lu Siya.
Naturally, Meng Chao had plenty of powerful fighters' numbers in his address book.
Regardless of whether it was his tutor and tutoress, Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu, the elites from Yan Organization, the Broken Star Club and Blue Home, there were plenty of powerful fighters with great fighting experience.
It was not difficult for Meng Chao to make a few calls and summon hundreds of superhumans.
The problem was, he did not know which material warehouse Ning Lang was targeting.
Crystals and monster materials were the most crucial cultivation resources.
There were more than one thousand similar material warehouses of various sizes in Dragon City.
If the blueprint was in perfect condition, perhaps he could locate the precise coordinates based on the streets and buildings around the warehouse.
But now, there were only scattered pieces left, and he could not even find the correct order to put them together.
Unless he had a very detailed database of the buildings in Dragon City, a supercomputer with a lot of computing power, and a professional's analysis, it would be difficult for him to get an answer within a short period of time.
His fingers quickly swiped through the names in his address book.
Suddenly, Meng Chao saw a name.
Shen Yupeng.
He was one of the nine great mega corporations in Dragon City, and he was one of the outstanding members of the third generation in Universe Corporation.
He was a secret police officer from the adjudicator court in the Supernatural Tower, and he was in charge of superhuman crimes.
In fact, there were rumors that he was an adjudicator, which meant that he was a super law enforcer who was in charge of investigations, trials, and executions. He was a police officer, judge, and executioner.
Meng Chao and Shen Yupeng got to know each other during the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise.
Even though Universe Corporation and Sky Pillar Corporation were competitors …
Shen Yupeng and Lu Siya also had a vague relationship where they were at loggerheads.
The powerful adjudicator court and the research department, which had recently risen to power, were also fighting fiercely over the authority to enforce the law and the annual budget.
But this did not stop Meng Chao from becoming friends with Shen Yupeng.
To Meng Chao, the more coattails he had, the better.
Even though Lu Siya's coattails were very pleasant to hug.
But he would not give up on the entire forest for one tree.
Through Shen Yupeng, he could form a good relationship with Universe Corporation and the adjudicator court. When necessary, he could use his predictions of the future to influence and even save more secret police officers and adjudicators.
To Shen Yupeng, forming a good relationship with Meng Chao, who was the club leader of the Broken Star Club and the committee member of Blue Home, meant that he could get more information from him. It would also be very beneficial for him when he searched for and captured lost people.
Besides, Meng Chao was one of the youngest Heaven Realm superhumans in Dragon City. He was a rising superstar, so there was no reason for him not to pay attention to him.
They were all adults, so they would not do something as ridiculous as saying, "I have a grudge against Lu Siya, so if you're close to her, I won't be close to you."
After the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise were over, Meng Chao found some time to eat a few meals with Shen Yupeng and exchange some information.
Even though Meng Chao had moved to the family compound of the abnormal beast research department, once Shen Yupeng received the news, he sent a congratulatory gift to congratulate him on his move.
Besides, aside from their relationship, Meng Chao thought about it and decided that it would be more suitable for Shen Yupeng to handle this matter.
First of all, he did not have any proof that the Deification Capsule was definitely related to abnormal beasts.
If it was not related to abnormal beasts, then it was just a superhuman crime, and the adjudicator court should be in charge of it.
Second, Ning Xing mentioned that some of Ning Lang's creditors came from the lair.
Last time, when they investigated the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise, Meng Chao and Lu Siya had gone deep into the lair and provoked the local gangs. They had only managed to escape unscathed because of Shen Yupeng.
By the looks of it, Shen Yupeng's connections in Golden Tooth Lair were deeper than Lu Siya's.
It meant that there was a higher possibility that he could find related clues.
With this thought in mind, Meng Chao called Shen Yupeng without hesitation.
This time, the call connected very quickly.
But on the other end of the screen, Shen Yupeng's face was covered in mud and his hair was unkempt. It stunned Meng Chao a little.
In his impression, Shen Yupeng was a cold man who liked to wear a gray trench coat. He had a pair of eagle-like eyes and a hooked nose.
He was a handsome man, a secret police officer, an adjudicator, and an iron daring detective.
Even if he did not sleep or rest and worked on a case for three days and three nights, once the case was over, he would come out at four or five in the morning to eat porridge with a sleepy look and a stubble on his beard.
Meng Chao had never seen Shen Yupeng so unkempt and tired.
He could not help but feel respect for him. "Big Brother Peng, what major case are you working on? Am I bothering you?"
"Not at all."
On the screen, Shen Yupeng stabbed a shovel into a pile of trash and said, "I'm doing volunteer work. I'm cleaning up the underground pipes and trash in the old residential area in the western part of the city."
"…"
Meng Chao thought that he had heard wrong. "The secret police have to do this?"
"The secret police are superhumans and public servants, so it's only natural that we selflessly help the normal citizens. Besides, I'm also a part of the Shen family, and I represent the image of the Shen family and Universe Corporation," Shen Yupeng explained seriously.
Shen Yupeng explained seriously. "Over the past half a year, Dragon City has launched a campaign to become a model superhuman. The main content is to promote the harmony between superhumans and normal citizens. Many of the superhumans who pursue progress aside from cultivating have been thinking about how to help normal citizens.
"Your Big Sis Ya is an active participant in the campaign. Through her volunteer work, she left a deep impression on all the citizens in the city. All the citizens praise her non-stop.
"Of course my awareness isn't as high as your Big Sis Ya's, but I can't fall too far behind, right?"
"That's …"
Meng Chao scratched his head and said, "Big Brother Peng, I know that the secret police work day and night to investigate cases. If you take some time out to do volunteer work, it won't affect you from capturing lost people, right?"
"Well, whether you can capture lost people or not is a matter of your abilities. Whether you're willing to help normal people or not is a matter of your attitude. Which do you think is more important, your abilities or your attitude?"
Shen Yupeng paused for a moment before he said, "Let's get to the point. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's like this …"
Meng Chao ignored Shen Yupeng's grumbles and sent the pictures of the blueprints to Shen Yupeng's phone. Then, he described what he discovered today in the simplest way possible and said, "In other words, I discovered at least three cases on my side. One is illegal sales of unapproved gene medicine, one is intentional murder, and one is ongoing robbery. The last case might turn into a robbery and murder case, so it should be under the jurisdiction of the adjudicator court, right?"
Shen Yupeng's expression became stern.
"Of course it is."
He lowered his head and looked at the pictures Meng Chao sent him. He frowned and said, "But these blueprints are too scattered and blurry. Even if we can find the corresponding building blueprints in the database, we'll need a lot of time to compare them. We might not be able to locate them and stop them before they carry out the robbery. Do you have more clues on your side? If you can narrow down the area of comparison, you'll be able to save a lot of time."
