Chapter 740: The disappearance case in Shazhou City; mutant?
Chang Le's tone was not angry, but it seemed as if every word was hitting people's hearts and could not be disobeyed.
Shen Xiu felt the faint pressure coming from her and was secretly shocked. He was already at the ninth level, and the only one who could make him feel this kind of pressure was a super ninth level cultivator.
But wasn’t it Fu Jiu who made the breakthrough in the Dragon faction?
Could it be that Chang Le actually made a breakthrough? Or did both of them make a breakthrough? Or maybe...
Before Shen Xiu's doubts were answered, he was interrupted by Chang Le's eyes. He gathered his thoughts, faced the tombstone in front of him, calmed his mood, and bowed solemnly.
Chang Le looked up at the flickering star map, and the emotions in his eyes were so turbulent that it was difficult to see clearly.
"Follow me into the trial ground."
Chang Le turned around and led Shen Xiu to the area outside the Jiuzhou Temple: "The trial ground is dangerous. Only if you pass the test with your own ability can I use the dragon tomb to purify the blood in your body. Whether you can succeed or not depends on you."
……
At the same time, in Shazhou City in the southeast fourth district.
Shazhou City is located on the southeast coast of District 4. It is the estuary of the Huangsha River in the Central Plains. The river sand accumulation and the ocean tidal flats at the estuary change with the seasons, forming extremely fertile land. At the same time, Shazhou City is also one of the areas in District 4 that has been most severely affected by the alien disaster, except for Chaohai City.
The triangular port beach of Shazhou City.
Far away from the port, a rocky area has been blocked off.
The head of the local management agency was leading the way. "Here you are, guys."
Following behind him were Huan Bo and Fu Heqing from the Long faction. In addition to the two of them, there were also local detectives in charge of investigating the case.
The team leader's surname is Hu, and he is an experienced veteran agent.
As they walked, Team Leader Hu asked, "When was it discovered? How many are there?"
The person in charge said, "It was discovered two hours ago by a patrol dog that was patrolling the port. We don't know how many there are yet, but we just cleared it out."
A young female medical examiner, Medical Examiner Jiang, said, "These are the first batch of victims' remains that have been found so far. We will definitely be able to find important clues on them."
Then, she said to Huan Bo and Fu Heqing, "Mr. Chang Feng is still studying the energy traces left at the scene. He will verify whether the injuries on the bodies were caused by the mutants. I'll trouble you two."
Huan Bo shrugged and patted Fu Heqing: "The key point is this kid, he is the only one who can tell the difference. I am just protecting his safety."
Fu Heqing's shoulder was crooked after being slapped. The 26-year-old Fu was already fully mature, with a handsome face, calm and gentle, yet with a bit of sharpness.
He said helplessly: "Yes, I will be responsible for examining the cause of the scars and whether it is caused by a mutant."
Team leader Hu said solemnly, "The impact of this case is extremely bad. Everyone must do their best to solve it."
All members of the group responded. Huan Bo and Fu Heqing also looked at each other, not daring to neglect.
This case has affected the stability of the entire Shazhou City.
The incident started five days ago.
A mother reported that her fifteen-year-old son was missing on his way home from school.
After investigation, the detectives found that his son Wu Zhicheng went to Triangle Port to play with three other classmates after school. At seven o'clock in the evening, surveillance footage captured the four of them leaving the port together.
But after the four people separated after leaving the port, the surveillance footage only captured the other three people going home, while Wu Zhicheng disappeared inexplicably.
Just three hours after the missing person case was filed, the parent of another classmate of Wu Zhicheng also reported the case missing, saying that their son came home that night and disappeared out of thin air in the room in the morning.
The two missing cases were investigated together. Five hours later, Wu Zhicheng's parents suddenly received a strange call. When they opened it, they found that it was from their missing son!
But what happened next was extremely strange.
Wu Zhicheng said that he was kidnapped on his way home and was now chained and unable to use his supernatural powers. He suspected that he was in the cargo hold of a ship and asked his parents to report the crime and come to rescue him. The 15-year-old boy was so scared that his teeth were chattering, but he had already judged the situation as calmly as possible and saved himself.
The agent guarding his home immediately informed Team Leader Hu to come to the rescue.
It turned out that Wu Zhicheng had secretly bought the communicator to read novels, and he kept it well hidden. Although his parents knew about it, they let him do it because his grades were stable. The detective immediately located the location and sent personnel to rescue him.
But unexpectedly, a scream suddenly came from the other end of Wu Zhicheng, who had just successfully located and maintained communication.
Then, amid the shaking images and noisy sounds, a creepy gnawing sound was heard and the boy's screams were heart-wrenching, but soon weakened until the sound disappeared.
The gnawing sound weakened, and on the screen of the communicator that fell to the ground, a series of blood drops gathered into a pool of blood, and a pair of dark yellow vertical pupils that did not resemble a human shape suddenly appeared on the screen!
The picture is disconnected and the sound disappears.
The whole room was silent, and all the agents' hair stood on end.
The footage was automatically recorded and saved by the device. Everyone replayed it with their hearts pounding and discovered a low growl similar to that of a wild beast. In the last frame of the video, there was a pair of vertical slit-shaped pupils like those of a reptile. However, the area around these eyes was not covered with scales like those of an animal, but yellow-white skin similar to that of a human!
The well-informed Team Leader Hu immediately thought of the efforts made by the Chinese government to hunt down mutants over the years, so he reported it.
Immediately, the district informed District Nine of the news, and that the Cuiwei Court of the Dragon Clan was the one that conducted the most in-depth research on the mutants, so the Dragon Clan sent people to identify them.
After watching the video, Changfeng judged that there was a 90% chance that it was a mutant, so he took people to go there in person.
When they arrived, Team Leader Hu had already led his men to find the ship where Wu Zhicheng had the accident, but no body was found at the scene. There were only incomplete signs of using supernatural powers, messy signs of fighting and half a piece of scale armor, and even the bloodstains were only from Wu Zhicheng.
Changfeng checked immediately and confirmed that Wu Zhicheng fought desperately before his death. There were fragments of his skin and flesh on the half scale armor, and the creature fighting with him was a creature with supernatural powers. This ruled out the possibility of a wild beast.
Combined with the recorded video, it can be basically concluded that it was done by a mutant who has not appeared for a long time.
But in the next few days, Changfeng started from the energy traces and went into the laboratory to check.
Team leader Hu and his team conducted a thorough search of the surrounding area, but did not find any traces or clues pointing to the body, nor did they find any suspicious persons. They suspected that the body had dived into the sea, but after checking, they did not find any traces of suspicious persons or other creatures entering the sea.
The case of Wu Zhicheng and another missing child has not been investigated yet, but yesterday, suddenly, different districts along the coast of Shazhou City reported similar cases that needed to be solved.
After a comprehensive review, it was found that 13 teenagers had been missing in three towns along the eastern coast of Shazhou City since two months ago. A closer look revealed that in addition to these people, some people had also reported that some outsiders who worked temporarily at the port or dock, as well as some fishermen who had gone out, were also missing.
The number of missing persons from the three parties combined exceeds fifty!
The reason why it did not cause any disturbance was that Shazhou City was close to the ruins of the East China Sea, and it was common for alien species to land and injure people, especially fishermen and dock workers. A few disappeared here, a few disappeared there, and they were all different. People just thought it was just another alien species causing trouble, so they never noticed it.
Wu Zhicheng's murder exposed the suspect's identity, and everyone realized that this incident was not simple.
The case had a serious impact, and the government set a deadline to solve it. Team leader Hu and others searched day and night.
It was not until today that a report was suddenly received from Triangle Port that the remains of a suspected missing person had been found.
Team leader Hu immediately brought his team members and Fu Heqing over.
