At the same time as Dudian was watching the news, several helicopters and more than a dozen chariots had arrived at the square outside another landmark building. All of them were specially trained combative police. Although they weren't magic marks but they had been injected with a special serum made by the Federation. Their physique had been enhanced but the extent of enhancement was far less than that of magic marks. They were only two to three times stronger than ordinary people.
Don't underestimate the strength of two to three times the strength of an ordinary person.
After the combative police got out of the car, they quickly surrounded the square, keeping a tight watch on the surroundings. The demon attack during the day had caused the entire North Desert City's secret defense forces to be stretched taut. Although Lucien had been killed, why did the demon appear? Did he have any accomplices? What was the purpose of his sudden exposure? These were questions that made the top figures of the North Desert city uneasy.
"General Yao!" In front of a helicopter that landed, Li Li, the head of the defense department of Mo Bei City, squinted his eyes and saluted the burly middle-aged man who got off the helicopter. He then stepped forward to shake hands and greet him, "I didn't expect the chairman to send you here. Looks like the demons are going to suffer."
Yao Jie smiled and said, "Not at all, not at all. Minister Li is too polite. The chairman has already contacted the mayor and sent me here to assist you in finding the Demon's accomplice. This Demon has already been killed. I heard that according to the results of the forensic autopsy, this Demon's strength is comparable to a four-star mecha and has reached the upper abyssal level of the Demon race. This is considered a big shot in the Demon race, but he actually took the risk to go deep into the hinterland and appear in our stomach."
"General Yao, this way please. It's windy outside. Let's go inside the house." Li Li smiled and led the way.
The two of them were accompanied by a group of secretaries and guards to the landmark building of the North Desert city. The security level of the building had reached the highest level in the Federation. It was said that even missiles wouldn't be able to hurt the people inside the building. The glass outside the building was made of gelatinous alloy glass. It was extremely tough. It was barely comparable to the hardness of diamond. Many high-end mechanical chariots and tanks used this kind of glass. It was a new invention of the Federation. The inventor of this invention had won a lifetime achievement award and was included in textbooks.
After arriving at the building, Li Li welcomed Yao Jie to the conference room. He ordered the secretary to prepare the materials and tea.
"General Yao, you've come all the way here. It must have been tough on you. If you need anything, feel free to tell me. We're all family, so there's no need to stand on ceremony." Li Li laughed.
Yao Jie saw that his secretary was dawdling in preparing the documents. He frowned slightly and said, "Department Head Li, let's not talk about other things for now. This time, the demon suddenly appeared in North Desert City. Not only has it attracted the attention of the chairman, but there are also many eyes here. I hope to know the identity of this demon as soon as possible. How did he come here? Who are his accomplices? I wonder if you have any results here?"
Seeing that Su Tao was in a hurry, Li Li didn't continue the small talk. With a solemn expression, he said, "After the incident, I immediately retrieved the surveillance footage. I'm ashamed to say that I couldn't see how he sneaked in. He seemed to have suddenly appeared in the shopping mall and started a massacre. From the surveillance footage, he disguised himself as an ordinary pedestrian and quarreled with a few girls before tearing off his disguise."
Yao Jie knitted his brows. "How is that possible? Your North Desert City is heavily guarded, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. It's impossible for him to appear here out of nowhere. Have you investigated the records of the border?"
Li Li nodded. "We have, but there's nothing suspicious. The only suspect is a student. Not long before the incident, a taxi suddenly exploded. Through the slow playback of the surveillance footage, we found that the door of the taxi was pushed open. With such great strength, it must be a demon. That means that the demon was in the car at the time. We then investigated the records of the taxi and found a student and his friend. The two of them took the maglev high-speed train from Tongchuan City."
"If that's the case, then this student might be his accomplice!" Yao Jie asked, "Where is the student now? Have you interrogated him?"
Li Li was stunned. With a strange expression, he said, "How should I put this? In the beginning, this student was the biggest suspect. But after the investigation, we found that he should be innocent."
"Innocent?" Yao Jie looked at him with confusion.
Li Li nodded. "After the car exploded, he was flung out of the car. Luckily, he survived. Later, the demon appeared not far away and attacked the civilians. His reaction was no different from the others, he was quite frightened. Based on years of experience, our criminal investigation experts determined that he was not lying. We used the artificial intelligence to conduct a lie detector test on his behavior at the time, and the result was the truth.
"Then, the demon appeared at the mall. He fought with the city guards and escaped. He did not give chase. From these few points, even though he is a suspect, he shouldn't be the killer. At most, he was held hostage by the demon."
Yao Jie was startled. He couldn't help but say, "But he was in the same taxi as the demon and they both coincidentally arrived at Mo Bei City today. Just these facts alone are enough to capture him for interrogation. It's better to capture the wrong person than to miss out on any suspect. This is a demon we're talking about, missing out on even one is equivalent to a disaster!"
Li Li smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, I planned to capture him and interrogate him first, but the higher-ups sent word that this person's identity is special, and he can't be a demon, so we don't need to divert our attention to him. Then, through some of his later actions, I feel that he really doesn't seem to be an accomplice of the demon.
"A message from the higher-ups?" Yao Jie's eyes narrowed instantly. "Who? The 4 financial groups? "
Li Li shook his head. He raised his hand to point upwards but didn't say anything.
Yao Jie's pupils constricted slightly. He was a little shocked. After a moment, the shock in his eyes slowly disappeared. After a moment of silence, he said, "Since it's from the higher-ups, it seems that he is indeed not a suspect. If that's the case, are there any other suspects or clues?"
Li Li nodded. "There are. When the demon appeared, there were a few bystanders who behaved strangely. They are a major suspect. Also, the forensic doctor dissected the demon's face and found that he had temporarily changed his appearance. There were obvious traces of twisting of his facial muscles. However, he was blasted by the True Light Cannon and his face was severely damaged. It would be very difficult to comb his facial muscles back to their original appearance. It will take some time."
Yao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. "After the forensic doctor recovers his original appearance, we'll know what he looked like before. An Upper Abyssal definitely didn't act alone when he infiltrated here. There might be some despicable people behind him who tried to use him to do something. Unfortunately, he broke free."
