244: Chapter 244 Mothman 244: Chapter 244 Mothman “Look, it’s at this time point.” The traffic police captain switched the surveillance footage to the big screen, and everyone held their breath, focusing intently on the screen, afraid of missing anything, and eager to see just who this perpetrator was.
Sun Yu was holding a black umbrella when he crossed an intersection.
A dark shadow swept across the sky and landed directly behind Sun Yu.
It was late at night and too dark, plus the torrential rain obstructed the view, making the shadow very blurry.
Vaguely visible was a pair of huge wings.
The shadow was three heads taller than Sun Yu, so it was presumed to be at least 2.2 meters tall.
It appeared to have a very large head, and the most striking feature was a pair of blood-red eyes, like two red lanterns in the darkness.
In the video, Sun Yu suddenly turned around, only to be frightened to the ground.
Then the shadow slowly bent over; it took about five seconds before it stood up and flew away like a shadow, disappearing into the night, leaving behind a fluttering umbrella and a corpse…
After watching the surveillance, everyone was silent; the meeting room fell into a deathly stillness…
“Does anyone have any comments?” After a long while, Song Tian finally broke the silence.
Everyone’s face was filled with shock, fear, and disbelief.
“Captain, can we watch it again?”
After the second viewing, the meeting room once again descended into silence.
“Alright, everyone, does anyone know what this is?” Song Tian said gravely, and Lin Dong also had a furrowed brow.
Having been a special police officer for so many years, what on earth was this?
If those wings were just a disguise, then how was it capable of flight?
And how did it kill the victim?
None of that could be discerned from the surveillance footage.
“This…” The place was buzzing with chatter, clearly surprised by the “perpetrator’s” appearance.
“This image is a screenshot from the slow-motion video.” Song Tian displayed a photo.
Compared to the blurry video, the perpetrator’s appearance on this photo was slightly clearer.
A pair of wings, a height of 2.3 meters, red eyes, a pointed head—it didn’t look human at all, but rather…
A moth, or more precisely, the Mothman.
“Mothman.” Zhang Ting blurted out uncontrollably.
“Zhang Ting, what did you say?” Song Tian asked.
I said it looks a bit like the Mothman, a creature from legendary supernatural stories.” Zhang Ting said, the more she looked at the screenshot, the more it resembled.
“Mothman.” Song Tian murmured, and a stir broke out among the audience again.
“Officer Zhang, that’s a creature from supernatural stories, how could it appear in reality?” Lin Dong asked.
I’m not sure, it’s just my speculation.” Zhang Ting said, somewhat helplessly.
“Old Song, what do you think?” Lin Dong turned to the worried Song Tian.
This case was one where the special police were offering assistance, providing Martial Force support, but seeing the horrifying murder method of this “Mothman,” it was clear ordinary police wouldn’t be enough.
“I suggest we immediately report the case to the National Security Bureau and request their assistance,” Song Tian said resolutely.
Everyone’s face below was serious—if a case required the National Security Bureau, it was considered a major national incident.
“Everyone, the contents of this meeting are classified.
Please do not disclose any information,” Song Tian emphasized at the end.
After leaving the National Security Bureau headquarters, Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu returned to the company, and Ye Shikai also took the chance to hurry and check on An Lan.
“Lan, I’m back.” Ye Shikai walked into An Lan’s office with a chuckle.
“You’re finally back.” An Lan excitedly hugged Ye Shikai.
“This is a gift for you.” Ye Shikai handed over a bag to An Lan, of course, these were not purchased in Europe, but he had arranged for them to be shipped overnight.
“That’s nice, but there was no word from you when you went to Europe.
Qingyu even went looking for you,” An Lan said reproachfully, placing the bag on the desk.
“Ah, I ran into a bit of trouble, but it was all okay in the end.” Ye Shikai said with a smile.
“But it seems like Ailina was injured.” An Lan was a little puzzled, while Ye Shikai was quite surprised.
Ailina was basically healed now, so how could An Lan still see it?
she’s a bit clumsy.” Ye Shikai and An Lan exchanged some pleasantries before returning to work.
“Yo, little brother, you’re back.” As soon as Ye Shikai returned to his seat, an extremely charming voice rang out—it was Wanna.
If Ye Shikai had to name the most enchanting person he knew, it would be Wanna, who gave off the impression of a beautiful fox reincarnate.
“Haha, Team Leader Wan, long time no see,” Ye Shikai laughed.
“You don’t know, while you were away, I was the one finishing your work,” Wanna complained, even her reproach was full of allure, as she playfully raised her index finger, “How about you join me for drinks at the bar tonight?”
Wanna’s words wrapped around Ye Shikai’s ears like sweet orchid scent.
However, Ye Shikai shuddered inwardly; deep down, he didn’t like women like Wanna.
“Dinglingling.” Suddenly, a phone rang.
Ye Shikai smiled awkwardly, pointed to his phone, then hurriedly left the office to answer it.
The caller ID showed Lin Dong.
“Hello, Captain Lin, what’s up?” Ye Shikai was puzzled; why would Lin Dong call him?
“Ye, I have something I want to discuss with you in person.
Do you have any time?” Lin Dong got straight to the point and planned to meet Ye Shikai.
“Sure, where are you at?
I’ll come now.” Lin Dong was not one to summon without urgent causation, plus he had helped Ye Shikai many times.
“Yanjing Police Department, come over quickly,” Lin Dong said.
Yanjing Police Department.
Ye Shikai, driving his Lexus, arrived quickly.
From Lin Dong’s urgent tone, it was evident that a serious issue had arisen.
As soon as he entered the police station, he saw Lin Dong, Song Tian, and Zhang Ting, all waiting in the meeting room.
Song, what’s the matter?” Ye Shikai asked directly, noticing the look of concern on their faces, which reflected his own suspicions.
“Ye, I need your help with something,” Song Tian spoke slowly and then detailed the surveillance video and the incident from the night before to Ye Shikai.
“Mothman, it’s truly inconceivable,” Ye Shikai expressed in shock after watching the video.
“That’s right, hard to believe, but those two people really died,” Song Tian took a sip of hot tea, heaving a long sigh.
Song, do you want my help in solving the case?” Ye Shikai inquired.
“That’s right,” Song Tian nodded.
