Chapter 6: Saving Half Your Life, Intelligence Wordless Heavenly Book
Four police cars, sirens blaring, arrived within fifteen minutes, their red and blue lights flashing in the night sky.
The police quickly set up a cordon, sealing off the scene.
Although it was past 11 PM, the surrounding residents, seeing the police arrive, mustered their courage and came downstairs, gathering outside the cordon.
There seemed to be over a hundred people.
Spectating was urgent.
Among the crowd, all sorts of speculations and rumors began to spread through the night air.
“This must be revenge against society!”
The voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction with social phenomena: “People nowadays, when the pressure is too high, they tend to go to extremes.”
“I heard from those streamers, it might be a relationship dispute.”
Someone said indignantly, “Not a single one of those female streamers is any good, all they do is hook up with the top supporters all day. Now look, they’ve brought trouble upon themselves.”
“This online streaming nowadays is a mess.”
“Exactly, exactly,” the middle-aged woman next to him quickly chimed in. “My son just watches those streams all day, his eyes are almost blind, and his health has deteriorated quite a bit.”
Inside the apartment building.
Bai Yu stood by the window, looking down at the commotion below. He secretly pondered whether there were any special investigators among the law enforcement officers below, especially any transcendent individuals!
“Judging from the scene captured by the drone, the data of 3 dead and 5 injured should be correct.”
“The intelligence I received earlier was 7 dead and 5 injured. I didn’t expect that just by looking at two pieces of intelligence, four lives were saved. The importance of intelligence is self-evident!”
“It’s like a few dozen characters of futures information that can multiply your principal five times.”
“The only thing I guessed wrong was that the Fishman’s target wasn’t XinXin Baby. However, she seems to have been hit too. I just don’t know how badly she’s injured.”
At this moment, his phone rang.
【Big Adopted Son】
He answered.
Before he could speak, an excited voice came from the other end.
“Damn! Damn! Damn! Something big happened!”
“The car accident outside the company?”
“You know about it too, with your dial-up internet?”
“I live directly opposite the company, I saw the whole thing with my own eyes.”
“Cough, cough.” Zhang Youpeng cleared his throat and changed the subject, “Yu Ge, you didn’t hire someone, did you? You wanted to hit Zhuzhu Baby, but you sent a beauty filter picture and hit the wrong person. You’re a good brother, even telling me to take leave in advance.”
“Young man, you know too much! Hehehehe~”
“Oh, I’m so scared~”
“Get lost! Right, I told you to take leave, this move saved you half your life. Just tell me how you’re going to repay me.”
“Anything you want at the canteen of Tianhai Vocational Technical College.”
“Damn it, the ‘rat head duck neck’ incident just happened. Are you repaying kindness? You’re seeking revenge!”
“Then a seafood buffet, how about it? I’m really bleeding money on this one!”
Bai Yu knew he was referring to the one that cost 328 yuan per person. For students, it was definitely a high-end meal.
“That’s not bad, I’ll make a note of it for now.”
“If I hadn’t taken leave this time, I really might have been GG. Treating you to a meal is the least I can do.”
“Mm. Then, as planned, we’ll continue playing soccer tomorrow.”
“Sure! The murderer hasn’t been caught yet, so it’s not safe to go to the company. I’m even thinking of quitting, after all, these streamers don’t know how many people they’ve offended. It’s a risky job.”
“We’ll see.”
“Beep, beep, beep~”
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu went to sleep, looking forward to tomorrow’s intelligence.
Tianhai City.
Jiangnan District Investigation Bureau.
The clock on the wall quietly pointed to 12:30 AM, but the investigation bureau was still brightly lit.
The scene investigation was quickly completed. The murderer’s arrogant behavior left the case clues exceptionally obvious—the murderer had loitered near the crime scene without any disguise for the entire afternoon, captured by surveillance cameras hundreds of times.
On the screen, surveillance footage of the car accident scene was playing.
In the footage, the Baima X7 charged towards the crowd like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.
The video paused at a critical moment.
“Look at this guy’s appearance,” an enforcement officer pointed at the screen, his voice low. “He has a prominent mole on his nose, a slightly flattened nose, very distinct features.”
Another enforcement officer switched to the surveillance footage by the river.
In the footage, the strange change in the figure’s ear was clearly visible before he jumped into the river.
“It looks like… fins? A Fishman.”
They continued to check nearby surveillance, trying to capture any disturbance on the river surface.
However, for a full three to five minutes, the river surface was calm, with no abnormalities.
“This guy stayed underwater for so long, who knows where he swam off to. He won’t be easy to catch.”
“Check all the surveillance along the riverbank. See if he actually came out of the Qingyun River. Also, deploy underwater monitoring devices to compress his activity space.”
While they were watching the surveillance, the murderer’s identity had been confirmed through facial recognition. This man, named Wang Yongjian, and his dispute with the deceased were also quickly revealed.
“The key is still the high-level Fishman who granted him power. We must find out who Wang Yongjian has been in contact with recently.”
“Understood!”
After a brief arrangement, Deputy Director Yang, who was sitting in the monitoring center, scanned the rows of investigators still working.
Extraordinary cases were far more numerous than imagined.
The masterminds constantly creating low-level monsters were the Big Fish.
Today’s low-level Fishman like this small fry was just a mudfish stirring up the water, adding to the workload.
At this moment, members of the Seventh Group walked over, three men and two women. These five were true transcendent individuals.
Deputy Director Yang looked over and asked with a kind smile, “How is the matter of the East City vampires progressing?”
The leader of the Seventh Group replied, “We’ve apprehended a few blood servants, but there’s still no significant progress.”
“Hmm, I know an old friend who has dealt with the Vampire Clan for over a decade. If you have any problems, you can go talk to him. However, his identity is rather special, and his temper is a bit eccentric.”
On the other side, as the investigators reviewed the surveillance footage, they naturally noticed the drone that had been tracking the entire event.
Judging from the drone’s flight angle, it had clearly captured Wang Yongjian’s transformation into a Fishman.
This involved ordinary people in the extraordinary world.
In the early days of the Spiritual Qi Awakening, such people might be hypnotized or made to sign non-disclosure agreements. Those with good potential might later join the Special Investigation Bureau.
Now, 17 years after the Spiritual Qi Awakening, more and more people have come into contact with the extraordinary world, and management has become relatively relaxed, but people still need to be dispatched for communication.
After identifying the owner of the drone, the Investigation Bureau considered sending a team of investigators to make contact.
This was not only to understand the situation of the witnesses but also to ensure that the witnesses could properly handle the extraordinary phenomena they had witnessed, preventing them from spreading it widely online and causing public security pressure.
Otherwise, without a gradual process of understanding, suddenly expecting the entire world to accept an absurd reality would most likely lead to chaos.
The next morning.
It was just past six o’clock when Bai Yu woke up.
Normally, he would have gone back to sleep.
But he couldn’t sleep!
It was like when he was a child, his parents left for their early shift, and the moment the door closed, his mind became clear.
That was his state now.
“Panel, open!”
He only had a little Intelligence Value left, not enough to buy any good intelligence.
