Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Package
Tianjing and others started by looking into the origin of this package, reviewing surveillance, while Jin Li sat in his office, his expression solemn and restless. The reappearance of the Mothman posed a challenge to the entire National Security Bureau, and the murderer who poisoned Zhao Rou was still at large. Previously, Jin Li had been somewhat hopeful, believing that the destruction of the biopark would prevent the emergence of such creatures, but he hadn’t expected the Mothman to reappear so soon.
He smoked one cigarette after another, time seemed like torture to Jin Li.
“Director, we’ve found something.” After an indeterminate amount of time, Tianjing and the others returned.
“What’s the situation, did you find out who sent it?” Jin Li asked directly.
“A beggar. He said a masked individual gave it to him to leave at the entrance of the National Security Bureau, with ten thousand yuan as a reward.” Tianjing said somewhat disappointedly, “Their meeting place was too remote, there were no surveillance cameras. The only footage we could obtain was of the beggar himself.”
“Director, the media outside hasn’t picked up on this matter yet. I think we can handle it secretly.” Phoenix spoke calmly, considering the issue of societal stability, and the fact that the public is unaware of the Mothman. Hastily revealing such an incident could likely be seen as spreading rumors.
“That’s right, we need to handle this secretly, but currently, we lack leads.” Jin Li rubbed his temples with a headache. “I’ve watched the video many times; the Mothman seems to be attacking the person holding the camera.”
“Could it be someone’s prank, maybe just a cosplay?” Shen Wu timidly suggested.
“Impossible, although the video is unclear, the analysis of the wing composition has come back and it matches the wings of the Mothman we encountered before. It’s identified as biological hair, distinct from any known biological hairs.” Jin Li had a vague feeling that the situation was not simple. If it were truly a prank, how could someone obtain real Mothman wings?
“Director, this matter requires action.” Tianjing paused, then asked.
“More than the origin of this video, I want to find out who is still creating Mothman, find them, and eradicate them completely.” Jin Li spoke in a low roar. You have to understand, whether it is the public or our superiors, everyone expects results. As the National Security Bureau, if we cannot solve this case, everyone from top to bottom would feel immense pressure.
“Right now, the Mothman hasn’t committed any crime; we should look for related clues. Shen Wu, Jing Xie, go investigate the biopark we previously destroyed, check if there has been any personnel movement.”
“Phoenix, you contact our colleagues abroad and in the border regions, ask them to watch if anyone is secretly developing biological agents.” Tianjing quickly ordered.
“Time is of the essence, hurry and handle it, I’ll request support from our superiors now.” Jin Li encouraged.
Yanjing, Netherworld Palace base.
“Boss, do you remember any details from when you investigated Zhao Rou’s cause of death?” Meanwhile, Netherworld Palace’s investigation had also commenced, but unlike the National Security Bureau, their operations had to be extremely discreet.
“I remember picking up some leather fragments at the scene, and that was about it.” Ye Shikai murmured.
“Zhao Rou, she was once the Chairman of Chengyang Group, and that biopark was also under this group. After she was poisoned to death, do you still have a copy of the forensic report from the National Security Bureau?” Ghost said faintly, a barely noticeable suspicion flashing across his face.
“Yes, I sent it to Jeddon as a backup.” Ye Shikai printed out the report and handed it to Ghost.
“Cyanide, cyanide.” Ghost muttered to himself.
“Is there something odd?” Ye Shikai asked.
“That assassin who also died of poisoning had ingested cyanide as well. The cyanide that killed both individuals was the same.” Ghost’s words were shocking, undoubtedly casting some suspicions on the Wang Family.
“It’s too early to make such a conclusion; ‘cyanide’ is just a general term. The fact that they both ingested the same type of cyanide might just be a coincidence.” Ghost continued.
“Well, continue your investigation then.” Ye Shikai patted Ghost on the shoulder, though truthfully, he shouldn’t be investigating the Mothman now, but rather focusing on preparing for the wedding. The Mothman was only a scare; ensuring the wedding goes smoothly was of utmost importance.
“Ring ring, ring ring.” At that moment, a ringing phone sounded, and Ye Shikai glanced at the caller ID and sneered disdainfully.
“Boss, is it your sister-in-law’s call?”
“No, an annoying ghost.” Ye Shikai immediately hung up the phone.
It was indeed Tianjing’s call, most likely seeking help. Nevertheless, the package was undoubtedly a “big gift,” but now was not the time for kindness. The wedding was imminent, and Ye Shikai couldn’t be bothered.
Yanjing, a hidden basement.
“Ah.” Moans of pain echoed intermittently, the dim lights making the place resemble a haunted house, with employees in hazmat suits walking about.
In an isolation room, a man was tied to an experimentation table, a researcher injecting a green liquid into his body.
“Ah ah ah!” Suddenly, the man screamed vehemently, his limbs trembling forcefully, but bound tightly by the chains. Meanwhile, a woman in a tight-fitting suit watched every move through the glass.
“How’s the experiment progressing?” The woman’s cold voice rang out, the researcher beside her seemed timid, apparently wary of offending the woman.
“The test subjects have successfully mutated, and the mutants have overcome some inherent weaknesses, but…”
“But what?” The woman turned her head, her voice cold, her eyes flashing with a hint of murderous intent.
“The mutated test subjects are still unstable due to side effects, and we’ve already had fifteen staff members mistakenly killed by the test subjects.” The man’s voice trembled as if he himself were fish on the chopping board.
“The HST project has been restarted for so long, and you still haven’t solved this, do you realize that once the master blames you, your deaths will be far worse than those fifteen.” The woman threatened coldly.
“Yes, yes, we will resolve these issues as soon as possible, please rest assured.” The man seemed to have been pardoned, thanking her repeatedly.
