An hour later, the fire in Xianghe City's Tianqin Shopping Center and the apartment above was completely under control.
The cordon outside the building was still there, but the fire trucks had already left.
The people who could be saved had been saved, and the people who couldn't be saved would never be saved.
The loss of property in this fire hadn't been calculated yet, but the number of people who died in the fire had been calculated. There were a total of 11 people, and these 11 people didn't include the three corpses in room 9089 on the ninth floor of the apartment building.
The corridor of the apartment building was filled with smoke, and there were traces of the fire everywhere. The ground was full of black puddles, and it was a mess. The ceiling was burned through by the fire, revealing black holes. The steel frame on the ceiling was twisted and scattered, making the narrow corridor of the apartment building even narrower.
The entrance of the corridor on the ninth floor of the apartment building was cordoned off by the National Committee of Order. Other than the people from the Committee of Order, the police and the fire department couldn't enter.
Mo Yanshao's leather boots stepped on the puddles on the ground, stepping over the burnt things on the ground, and walked in the corridor of the apartment building.
Beside and behind Mo Yanshao were Tu Polu, Fang Ling Shan, Cao Xinghua, and a handsome man with long hair, wearing a black suit, and a slightly tired face.
The handsome man walked at the back, looking lazy and listless, but his nose was twitching, and his eyes were sneakily looking left and right.
"An Qing was right, there is indeed the aura of a fireball summoned by a spell here. The fire here wasn't an accident …" The handsome man with long hair said as he walked.
Almost all the personnel of the National Committee of Order's Special Operations Division stationed in Xianghe City had arrived.
Mo Yanshao's brows were tightly knitted, and he didn't say a word. He had already seen the situation in room 9089, and his expression was somewhat grave.
"Damn, those bastards came out again?" Tu Polu, who was carrying a large knife on his back, licked his lips, and his eyes shone brightly, like a fierce tiger that had smelled something.
Fang Ling Shan was still cold, and the muscular man Cao Xinghua was still silent, not saying a word. These two people were a perfect match.
The few of them walked and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of apartment 9089.
The door to the room, which was pitch black from the smoke, was open, and the room number could still be seen clearly. Xia Pingan and An Qing were both inside, and the bloody picture of the three corpses on the ground had not been touched.
Standing in front of the image of the three corpses, he could feel the terrifying aura of the blood-red Demon Eye. Compared to this place, the slaughterhouse and the morgue were like children's playgrounds.
Xia Pingan glanced at the handsome man with long hair who walked in with Mo Yanshao and the others. That man should be the one who was sleeping in the headquarters and didn't come downstairs for dinner. His name seemed to be Li Yunzhou.
"Kid, do you want to wait outside? The environment here isn't very friendly to newcomers. Be careful that you don't get nightmares at night and won't be able to eat for a few days …" Tu Polu said in a low voice when he walked into the room and saw that Xia Pingan was also here.
"It's okay, I want to get used to it …" Xia Pingan said calmly.
"Xia Pingan can stay …" Mo Yanshao said, and then glanced at An Qing. "Have you figured out the identities of these three people?"
"I've figured it out. It's the family living in room 9089. They were killed last night …" Yasuharu sighed. "This room number was specially selected. It's a provocation to us. It's just that the divine aura left in the building can no longer be traced …"
An Qing looked at the corpses of the victims in the room. There was only a trace of grief in her eyes, and there was no fear.
Because summoners were superstitious about the number 9, the room number was 9089.
Mo Yanshao squatted in front of the strange Demon Eye pattern, put on a transparent medical glove, and used his fingers to pry open the lower eyelids of the two eyes of the male head in the middle of the eye pattern. He sighed and stood up.
"It was done by those people. Before these three victims were dismembered, they were hit with a perceptual sharpening spell. This way, when they were dismembered, they could completely squeeze out their pain, fear, and all the negative emotions and perceptions in their bodies and consciousnesses to complete this Demon Eye ritual …"
"These bastards. If I find them, I'll skin them one by one …" Tu Polu gritted his teeth.
"We're still not sure how many of them there are?" Li Yunzhou said. "Boss, it's best to get a few reinforcements from headquarters. The Demon Eye is capable of doing anything …"
"Several hours have already passed and we are still unable to ascertain whether the culprit is still within Fragrant River City. With the time we have had, they might have even left the Fire Country. Let's report this to the headquarters first and get them to provide us with information. See if there are any special personnel who have entered Fragrant River City recently as this place could very well be a trap to draw our attention away! Xianghe City's anti-space invasion warning level will be raised by one level. Tonight, everyone, start lighting up the lamps. Two people in a team … "
After Mo Yanshao finished speaking, he turned around and walked toward the door.
After confirming the situation here, everyone followed Mo Yanshao and left the apartment.
Xia Pingan walked at the back. He had a stomach full of questions, but it was not convenient for him to ask at this time.
After everyone left, another team from the Committee of Order that specialized in disposing of corpses entered apartment 9089 and began disposing of the corpses in the room.
These corpses that were contaminated with the Committee of Order were all high-risk items. Under the influence of some supernatural forces, the dead could kill people, so these corpses had special procedures to deal with them. It was not something that the forensic doctors and coroners in the police station could handle. Moreover, in order to avoid causing public panic, it was not appropriate for organizations outside the Committee of Order to intervene.
"You did well today. If you have nothing to do for the next two days, stay at headquarters for the time being and prepare to fuse with the Realm Pearl. Don't go home for the time being!" Mo Yanshao said to Xia Pingan as they walked out the door.
Xia Pingan nodded.
Xia Ning lived at school, so he did not need to go home for the next few days. Moreover, the living conditions at headquarters were better. The food in the cafeteria was very delicious and free. It was much better than cooking noodles at home.
"An Qing and Xia Pingan will go back to headquarters with us. Go back and prepare now. We're going to light up the lamps tonight!" Mo Yanshao said to An Qing.
An Qing did not say much and just nodded.
As for the Ferrari that An Qing drove here, it seemed insignificant and no one paid attention to it.
Xia Pingan could clearly feel that the "Devil's Eye" in the room made everyone in the Special Operations Division tense up. As for "lighting up", it was a professional term in the Special Operations Division. They had to work at night.
Everyone went up to the rooftop. A grayish-blue civilian version of the Falcon helicopter was parked there. Mo Yanshao and the others had flown the helicopter over.
Everyone boarded the helicopter. Fang Lingshan sat in the pilot's seat and started the helicopter. The helicopter took off and brought everyone back to headquarters.
In a short time, the helicopter had already reached the helipad on the rooftop of the National Committee of Order in Xianghe City. Everyone got off the helicopter.
It was only then that Xia Pingan spoke, "Director Mo, what does the Devil's Eye mean? Is there any information that I should know?"
"Li Yunzhou, this is Xia Pingan, a newbie in the Special Operations Division. He will be training the newbie in the Special Operations Division for the next few days. You can explain his problems to him!" Mo Yanshao said directly to Li Yunzhou.
"Ah, training a newbie again?" Li Yunzhou's face turned bitter. "Boss, I'm seriously lacking sleep. Recently, I've been suffering from low blood sugar, nervous breakdown, endocrine disorder, irregular heartbeat, and intermittent hysteria. My temper is also bad. Also, I just woke up and haven't brushed my teeth. How can I leave this to someone else?"
"Sure, you can leave it to someone else. You have so many problems with your body and your work efficiency is too low. Don't take this month's bonus. Leave it to someone else!" Mo Yanshao ignored Li Yunzhou and walked towards the elevator with the back of his head facing Li Yunzhou.
No one else paid him any attention!
"Boss, don't. I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, okay …" Li Yunzhou screamed at the top of his lungs. He chased after Mo Yanshao for a few steps and the smile on his face turned into a flattering one. "Oh right, can you give me a bigger bonus this month?"
"Sure, if you want a bigger bonus than the others, you'll be in a group by yourself tonight. Capable people do more work!"
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding, just kidding. Boss, don't take it seriously. I'll be in a group with you tonight …" Li Yunzhou smiled flatteringly. Fang Lingshan looked at him with disdain and scoffed.
Xia Pingan looked at Li Yunzhou speechlessly. He didn't notice anything special about Li Yunzhou earlier because he didn't say much. Now, it seemed like this Li Yunzhou was just a joker …
