"Governor, this is the last surveillance footage of the Kobold," Zhang Bo answered.
Following that, he operated the remote control in his hand, and more than ten surveillance footage were displayed on the projection screen in chronological order.
At 17 PM, the Kobold had just arrived in Dragon City. At that time, he was just a hooded human. He walked slowly on the streets, stopping every two steps as if he was searching for something.
At 19 PM, the hooded man walked from the west to the north of the city.
At 21 PM, the hooded man walked from the north of the city to the center.
At 23 PM, the hooded man walked from the center to the east of the city.
At 24 PM, the hooded man transformed into a Kobold and brutally attacked six passersby.
…
Zhao Qingshi fell into deep thought. Since the attack on the six passersby was the last surveillance footage of the Kobold, it meant that the Kobold was killed not long after that. The Beyonder who killed him most likely lived near that street. This was a good place to start investigating.
"Have you investigated the identities of the victims?" he asked.
Zhang Bo nodded. "Yes. The six victims were ordinary students from Dawn Vocational University. They had very simple social relationships and did not find anything suspicious. As for the Kobold, we haven't found out his identity yet. His corpse was sent for an autopsy an hour ago. The autopsy results will be out soon."
After a pause, Zhang Bo suddenly took out a piece of jewelry from his pocket and said, "We found a necklace on the Kobold. Perhaps we can find out his identity through this necklace."
"Oh, what necklace? Let me see. "
Zhang Bo immediately handed it over.
Zhao Qingshi took the necklace and examined it carefully. The necklace seemed to have been left there for a very long time. Its surface no longer had a metallic luster. There was a throne carved on the necklace. A bat was standing on the throne with its wings spread out.
"This is …"
Zhao Qingshi widened his eyes in shock. "That Kobold came from the Demon God's Cave!"
The surrounding officials were stunned. The Demon God's Cave was a very foreign term to them.
"There's no mistake. This symbol is the exclusive symbol of the Demon God's Cave."
Zhao Qingshi's expression was solemn as he stroked the bat standing on the throne. He had a bad premonition as his emotions turned complicated.
Zhang Bo carefully asked, "Lord Prefect, is Demon God Cave … the name of a Beyonder faction?"
Zhao Qingshi scanned his surroundings and saw the curious expressions on the faces of the outstanding officials. His eyes alternated between light and dark for a while before he suddenly sighed and explained to the crowd.
"The Demon God's Cave is a notorious superhuman faction in the Western Continent. No one knows where their headquarters are. They hide underground and control 70% of the arms trade in the Western Continent. They are the ones behind many of the wars waged by many countries."
Zhao Qingshi was concise and did not say much, but he had explained it clearly to everyone. When the officials heard this, they were alarmed. For a mere faction of Transcendents to be able to control a war between countries, it was evident how terrifying the Fey God's Cave was.
"This case can't be solved by Dragon City alone. We have to report it to the national level and have Transcendent intervene!"
Zhao Qingshi made his decision, his face full of worry.
He knew very well that the Fey God's Cave was a pile of sh * t. They hid behind the scenes and stirred up trouble, stirring up the international situation into chaos. No country was willing to have any contact with them. They avoided them like the plague, and China was no exception.
Zhao Qingshi took out his cell phone and was about to contact the Transcendent when an officer suddenly rushed into the meeting room and reported to Zhang Bo, "Chief Zhang, the results of the dogman's autopsy are out."
Zhang Bo was feeling agitated after learning about the Fey God's Cave. He subconsciously took the autopsy report from the officer and scanned it. But as he read it, his expression suddenly turned extremely odd.
"The autopsy report shows that … the dogman has lived for four hundred thousand years. What does that mean?"
Zhang Bo put down the report and stared straight at the officer in front of him.
With that said, the atmosphere in the meeting room instantly fell silent. Including Zhao Qingshi, all the officials cast incredulous looks at the officer.
Four hundred thousand years?
How was that possible!?
It was almost comparable to the era when the apes evolved!
"I-I'm not sure either. This is the result of the forensic examination," the officer stammered. He was also shocked by the autopsy report.
Zhang Bo turned his head and met Zhao Qingshi's gaze.
"Let's take a look at the forensic examination room."
Zhao Qingshi said and stood up without hesitation.
Then, under Zhang Bo's lead, the group of officials arrived at the forensic examination room in less than five minutes.
"Chief Zhang, Governor, you are finally here!"
The forensic doctor was an old man in his seventies. When he saw Zhao Qingshi and company, he immediately went out to welcome them. He pointed at the dried corpse on the bed that had many tubes inserted into it and said in shock, "This corpse is just too strange! I've examined corpses all my life, but I've never examined such a strange corpse! "
Zhao Qingshi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He solemnly confirmed with the forensic doctor, "Are you sure that the person has lived for four hundred thousand years and that it's not a mistake?"
The forensic doctor was sweating profusely as he said, "That's what's strange about this matter. I used the mother-child relationship dating method of radioactive decay three times, and the results were the same. There's absolutely no mistake!"
Upon hearing the forensic doctor's solemn assurance, Zhao Qingshi's heart sank as he quickly walked to the bed.
He saw the dog-headed man lying naked on the white bedsheet. His skin was shriveled and wrinkled, as though all the moisture had been sucked out of him. He had fallen into an eternal slumber.
"Four hundred thousand years …"
Zhao Qingshi muttered to himself. He could not imagine any creature that could live for four hundred thousand years. Even an ancient god that had ignited his divine fire could not have such a long lifespan!
He took out the necklace that symbolized the Fey God's Cave. If this necklace had also experienced four hundred thousand years, it would have long been reduced to dust.
"From the looks of it, this murder case not only involves the Fey God's Cave, but it also involves an existence that's even more terrifying than the Fey God's Cave. Who killed the dog-headed man?"
Zhao Qingshi's heart was in a mess, and he felt an unprecedented sense of panic. He never expected that a small Dragon City would have so many hidden experts. The depth of the situation was beyond his imagination.
He had a premonition that there was an extremely terrifying secret behind this murder case. Once this secret was revealed, not only would Dragon City be annihilated, but even China and the entire world would suffer a devastating impact!
