With these questions in mind, Meng Chao went to Shen Yupeng.
The secret police officer from the adjudicator court was leaning against the wall with his hands in the pockets of his lead-gray trench coat. He stared at the dancing flames with a contemplative expression, as if he was thinking hard about the clues.
Meng Chao did not want to interrupt Shen Yupeng's thoughts.
After all, even Lu Siya, who was his competitor, admired Shen Yupeng a lot. She believed that he was a criminal investigation expert with a mind as sharp as a scalpel.
But after Meng Chao waited for a while, he heard light snores coming from Shen Yupeng's mouth and nose.
"…"
Meng Chao let out a light cough.
Shen Yupeng snapped out of his daze and blinked. He looked at Meng Chao with bloodshot eyes.
Meng Chao was shocked. "Big Brother Peng, are you infected with Blood Flower spores or the new zombie virus? Why do you look so haggard?"
They had a good relationship. Even though Meng Chao was the victim of this case, there was no need for them to be so formal when they talked. Shen Yupeng smiled wanly. "I'm sorry. I've been busy lately. It's been a while since I slept."
"It's been a while since you slept?"
Meng Chao frowned. "That sounds interesting. Big Brother Peng, how long is it?"
"More than a month." Shen Yupeng thought about it.
"You haven't slept for more than a month?"
Meng Chao was shocked. "Why?!"
"Over the past few months, the crime rate in Dragon City has been increasing, especially vicious crimes and high-IQ crimes."
Shen Yupeng could no longer hold it in. He yawned and rubbed his face. Then, he rubbed his stubble. "The adjudicator court has also gone through a structural change. We can't spare any manpower, so we have to work twenty-four seven."
Meng Chao knew a thing or two about the structural change in the adjudicator court.
It was mainly because of the ambush on Noble Descent Hotel. He had found out that quite a number of superhumans were involved in it through Zhou Tianshui.
Although many Extraordinaires didn't intentionally collude with exotic beasts, they had no intention of doing so.
But they were corrupt, plotting against each other, and breaking all sorts of rules. Objectively speaking, they provided a gap for the abnormal beasts to enter.
To nip the problem in the bud and to ensure that the superhumans and normal people could continue working together after they won the Monster War beautifully so that they could spread the light of Earth's civilization to the Other World, the Survival Committee took the lead, and the nine great mega corporations and various powerful organizations carried out vigorous self-inspections, audits, learning, and corrective actions.
The adjudicator court was a very unique disciplinary organization.
To investigate the illegal actions of superhumans, there were plenty of times when they had to carry out investigations in great secrecy. They had to use a series of gray or even black methods to secure evidence.
To obtain this evidence, they needed a lot of secret funds that could not be reported.
As a last resort, before any evidence was obtained, certain highly destructive lost people could be punished. This was called 'acting first and reporting later'.
This was a profession that combined criminal investigation, trial, and execution. It sounded like a disaster area that was heavily involved in illegal operations.
The abnormal beast research department. was Ch. was the abnormal beast.
Meng Chao had heard from Lu Siya a long time ago that quite a few powerful secret police officers and adjudicators had fallen from grace.
"Shen Yupeng Lu and he Shen and said. Long. and Shen.
But even though he grumbled, he was still a very professional and experienced secret police officer. When he saw Meng Chao's expression, he immediately asked, "Is there a problem?"
Meng Chao voiced his doubts.
In the end, he concluded, "Let's say that this is a criminal organization, and Ning Lang is definitely not the real leader. With his experience, intelligence, and strength, it's impossible for him to plan such a meticulous criminal plan. And regardless of whether it's the Deification Capsules, the blueprints of the warehouse, or the military-grade weapons, he shouldn't be able to get his hands on them.
"Therefore, I highly suspect that the leader of this criminal gang is someone else, and Ning Lang is just a chess piece who is dutifully carrying out the orders of the chess player.
"I was also thinking about this possibility just now. Regardless of whether it was the massacre at the junkyard or the robbery here, Ning Lang's decisiveness has far exceeded the bottom line of a rookie with no criminal record. His viciousness and cunning make me think of many lost people who have been dealing with the Adjudicator Court for more than ten years."
"But the effects of the Deification Capsules haven't worn off yet. Even though his life isn't in danger, his organs are still showing signs of failing. He's really weak, and he's currently being treated in a hospital under the adjudicator court." If I'm optimistic, we'll only be able to start interrogating him after midnight. Once the results are out, I'll immediately notify you. If there are any clues, I might have to ask you to use the power of the many members in the Broken Star Club to investigate it together. "
"Don't worry, Big Brother Peng. I'll definitely do it!" Meng Chao was very straightforward.
Forget about the fact that this case was related to his company.
Even if another company's warehouse was burned, Meng Chao was still very interested in the mysterious Deification Capsules. He had to find the truth.
They were just about to delve deeper into the case when …
Suddenly, a new explosion came from the distance.
The explosion happened at least eight kilometers away. The sound waves were blocked by the skyscrapers, so when they reached them, they were barely audible.
But as Heaven Realm superhumans, when they heard the familiar sound, their expressions changed.
It did not sound like an accidental explosion.
It was as if crystal bombs and anti-monster mines had exploded one after another in another city.
They looked at each other and activated maglev at the same time. They levitated in the air.
They looked into the distance and saw flashes and fireballs rising and falling in the depths of the dark city. They looked like dazzling and strange fireworks.
At that moment, Meng Chao shuddered. His instinctive reaction was that the abnormal beasts had launched another large-scale attack.
But this time, he finally managed to get through to Lu Siya. In the end, the abnormal beast research department was indeed busy, but they did not find any traces of abnormal beasts. They did not see a single monster, zombie, or undead.
"It should be a normal robbery," Lu Siya said uncertainly on the phone.
"A normal robbery?"
Meng Chao looked at the dazzling fireworks rising and falling in front of him, and he did not know whether he should laugh or cry. "Could it be that all the robbers in the city have agreed to rob someone tonight? But that doesn't make sense. It's broad daylight, so how could there be so many robbers in Dragon City?! "
Even though decades ago, there was a period of lawlessness in the city that was as bloody as a jungle and could not bear to look back on it.
Ever since the Survival Committee was formed and order was restored, the crime rate in Dragon City was controlled pretty well.
Even though everyone cultivated and used light and heavy weapons among the people, fighting and crimes of passion could not be stopped no matter how many times they were banned.
But there were not many intentional crimes that were meticulously planned, meticulously structured, and had been premeditated for a long time.
The reason was simple.
Because the difference between normal people and superhumans was just too great.
And the difference between superhumans of different cultivation realms was also so great that it made people despair.
Even if normal people were driven into a corner and racked their brains to plan a flawless robbery, even if they succeeded on the spot, the superhumans would definitely find clues about them and capture them without any suspense.
And if Earth Realm superhumans broke the law and committed crimes, they would not be able to avoid the judgment of Heaven Realm superhumans for justice.
Once they reached Heaven Realm, they would become famous people and people who benefited from the current rules of the game. They would be able to earn a lot of money through legal means, so there was no need for them to take risks.
Of course, lost people did cause major damage to Dragon City when they committed crimes.
But lost people were born mainly because spirit energy destroyed certain mysterious regions in their brains and invaded their central nervous system, which twisted their thoughts and caused them to go through spirit energy deviation. It was not just because they wanted benefits.
Besides, once lost people broke the limits of the law, they would be mercilessly suppressed by the adjudicator court. Even if they were lucky enough to escape, they could only flee into the lair and take hundreds of thousands of lair citizens as hostages. They would then become rats that would never see the light of day again.
Could it be that the lost people hidden in the lair had all come out to plunder as much as they wanted?
Impossible. There was no reason for them to be so stupid. Wouldn't they be walking right into a trap?
But Shen Yupeng kept receiving news that there were dozens of — no, more than one hundred — vicious crimes involving supernatural abilities that happened at the same time in Dragon City.
He could not understand it no matter how hard he thought about it.
Hence, when Shen Yupeng rushed to the other crime scenes, he mentioned that he wanted to help Shen Yupeng.
Both of them had worked together happily during the case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise.
Dragon City had also implemented the strategy of turning all citizens into soldiers. Regardless of whether it was the Red Dragon Army, the research department, or the adjudicator court, they did not reject the citizens' help when they carried out their missions.
Shen Yupeng was severely lacking in manpower, so he was very grateful for Meng Chao's help.
In truth, Meng Chao was not the only one. More than one hundred vicious crimes happened at the same time in the city, and it was something that had never happened in Dragon City over the past thirty years. The endless explosions shocked many superhumans, and they rushed to the crime scenes.
But they soon realized that the situation at the crime scenes was very troublesome.
Vicious crimes were different from zombie hordes or monster invasions.
If it was fog descending, monster invasions, or zombie viruses and Blood Flower spores wreaking havoc in the city, everyone would have practiced this countless times and knew how to handle it.
Even if their superiors did not give them orders or stop them, once they saw zombies, monsters, and the undead, they just had to attack them while ensuring their own safety.
In any case, most of the zombies, monsters, and undead had strange skeletons and unique appearances. They were eye-catching existences that could be seen with just one glance, and they were different from normal humans.
But the perpetrators of more than one hundred vicious crimes tonight were all humans.
When superhumans heard the explosions, it usually meant that the crime had come to an end. The criminals had already obtained what they wanted, and they were just using the explosions to destroy all the clues and evidence at the crime scene.
The criminals could even pretend to be the reinforcements who came with them.
Superhumans who were not used to treating humans as their opponents had a hard time seeing through their disguises.
