After resolving their differences, Gandalf and Zuo Yi had a pleasant chat.
The Wizard of the Tower was very knowledgeable. When he was still a wizard apprentice, he had traveled to the Elven Empire and the three kingdoms of the human race. His knowledge was far beyond that of an ordinary wizard.
He told Zuo Yi a lot of anecdotes about the wild world, including the historical grievances between the elves, the orcs, and the humans. This deepened Zuo Yi's understanding of the wild world.
After drinking two pots of tea, the two sides talked for more than an hour.
Gandalf went back to his laboratory to continue his work. Wu Yongjian handed Zuo Yi a tablet and said, "Recently, there's a very tricky case in Shanghai. The headquarters would like to ask you to help investigate it."
This was the most important reason why he asked Zuo Yi to come over today.
Zuo Yi took the tablet and opened the confidential case file. It took him about ten minutes to finish reading it.
His mood became heavy, and he was angry!
Just two weeks ago, there was a murder in a residential area in Shanghai. A single woman was killed and dismembered in her home. The murderer was extremely cruel, and the scene was too horrible to look at.
At that time, it was the victim's friend who called the police. The police carried out a strict investigation at the scene, but did not find any traces left by the murderer. The whole case was confusing.
Three days later, in a commercial building less than two hundred meters away from the residential area, the same case happened again. The victim was also a young single woman, and the murderer used the same methods.
Before the police could complete the investigation, the third and fourth cases of the same kind came one after another, which immediately caused a great shock!
Because of the mysterious elements involved, the Shanghai Ultra Management Bureau was involved in this serial murder case. But even though the bureau sent many experienced Extraordinaries, they did not find any clues.
Because the case was very serious and the murderer was very likely to commit another crime, the Shanghai Ultra Management Bureau reported the situation to the headquarters.
Then the headquarters communicated with Wu Yongjian, hoping that Zuo Yi could help with the investigation.
After Zuo Yi saw the photos of the crime scene, he immediately understood why the higher-ups asked him to come.
On the ground of the scene, there was a magic array drawn with blood – the Otherworld Creature Summoning Array!
The corpses of the victims were placed on top of the formation, bearing the most obvious characteristics of a blood sacrifice.
A few months ago, the aftermath of the blood sacrifice at the Asura Temple in the Landa Province of Laini Nation had yet to be settled. Now, in the country of Da Xia, and in the largest city of Da Xia at that, there were many bloody cases related to the summoning circle of otherworldly creatures. People could not help but be extremely vigilant!
Furthermore, the relevant departments of Da Xia had received news that similar cases had occurred in America, Europe, Iro, India, Fez, and many other countries and regions. Currently, there were hundreds of known cases!
The first suspect was the Truth Council. Some people speculated that it was also the Truth Council that leaked the information about the summoning circle of otherworld creatures. This secret organization that hoped for the end of the world had always been unpredictable.
However, there was no direct evidence to prove this point. Catching the culprit and preventing the same case from happening again was a top priority. The stability of Shanghai's social order was extremely important.
"A few days ago, someone exposed a large number of photos of the case on the Intranet and the Internet …"
Wu Yongjian said, "Fortunately, it was stopped in time. Otherwise, it would have caused panic. Daily patrols and surveillance in Shanghai have been strengthened, as well as safety promotion."
However, if the culprit was not caught, these measures would obviously not solve the problem.
The culprit was trying to create panic!
After hearing Wu Yongjian's words, Zuo Yi's mind was clear.
The sacrifice needed to activate the summoning circle of otherworldly creatures did not necessarily have to be lives, souls, or precious materials. Human fear could also be used as food for demons!
The culprit intended to arouse people's fear and panic through cruel blood sacrifices, and then please the target of the sacrifice.
This target was 100% a demon!
Zuo Yi was no stranger to such methods, so he was furious. The culprit had no humanity to speak of.
"Officer Wu, please inform the people in Shanghai …"
He said to Wu Yongjian in a low voice, "I'll go to Shanghai now!"
"Go now?"
Wu Yongjian was surprised. "There's no need to be in such a hurry. It's not too late to go tomorrow morning."
"I want to go there early."
Zuo Yi stood up and said, "I'll go back and tell my family first, then go directly to Shanghai. I'll leave the communication with Shanghai to you. We'll keep in touch."
If he went there early and found the culprit, he might be able to save a life!
"Okay."
Wu Yongjian was also a decisive person. Since Zuo Yi had made a decision, he said straightforwardly, "Leave the communication to me. I'll call you later."
"Okay."
Zuo Yi nodded and immediately left the biological laboratory.
He first returned to the Linjiang mansion, then used the teleportation array to teleport to the Heavenly Edict Academy and found Bao 'er.
"Daddy?"
Seeing Zuo Yi appear at the door of the classroom, the little girl, who was taking a break between classes, was pleasantly surprised. "Why are you here?"
Zuo Yi took her into his arms and said, "Daddy is going on a business trip. You have to be obedient at home these few days, okay?"
"Okay."
Bao 'er pouted and said, "I know."
"And …"
Zuo Yi touched her little face. "I'm going to take Teck with me."
"Huh?"
Bao 'er opened her mouth in surprise. "Atay is going on a business trip too?"
"Yes."
Zuo Yi said, "Atay can help. If things go well, we'll be back soon."
"Okay then."
Bao 'er was a little unhappy.
Because she had always been inseparable from Teck, it was inevitable that she would be reluctant to be separated for a few days.
Of course, she was also reluctant to leave her father.
But the little girl was an obedient and sensible child. She handed the dog leash to Zuo Yi. "Daddy, here."
She squatted down and rubbed Atay's head. "Atay, you have to be obedient when you go on a business trip with Daddy. You can't be naughty, okay?"
Woof!
Teck barked, feeling wronged. I'm going on a business trip with the Great Demon King. Woof wouldn't dare to be naughty!
Bao 'er smiled. "I'll wait for you at home!"
Zuo Yi rubbed her head and said, "Daddy will call you when I leave."
"Okay."
Bao 'er got up and said, "Goodbye, Daddy. Okay, have a safe trip!"
"Goodbye, baby."
After bidding farewell to the little girl, Zuo Yi left Tianqi Academy with Teck and drove to Shanghai.
Wu Yongjian sent him the coordinates of Shanghai's Ultra Surveillance Bureau, so Zuo Yi went directly to Shanghai's Ultra Surveillance Bureau.
