Chapter 6, The Jian'an Blood Incident

Upon hearing that something had occurred in the Jian'an area, Shi and Ma immediately made their way to the director's office. From a distance, they could already hear Director Liu's thunderous voice.

Indeed, Ma Xiaofeng proved how wise his decision was. As soon as Shi Yong stepped inside, the roar of Director Liu echoed through the office, a sound as loud as a raging tiger. Ma Xiaofeng dared to bet that everyone in the Public Security Bureau could hear this roar.

The times are changing, humanity is progressing, and even monsters are keeping pace with the times. In ancient times, the different colors of a monster's fur could instantly reveal its identity, but now, a bottle of hair dye costing just a few dozen yuan can make them appear more human than humans themselves. One wonders if this can be considered humanity ensnaring itself.

This murder case actually occurred in Tian Shang Ren Jian? The backstage of that entertainment venue is quite powerful. In order to ensure that their business is not affected, Tian Shang Ren Jian is unlikely to provide the police with too many clues, and may even obstruct the police's investigation multiple times to prevent any adverse impact on themselves. It seems that approaching the situation from a straightforward angle will yield little information; it appears that the only option left is to ask Fei Fei.

"Xiaoxue, is there any new development?" Shi Yong asked excitedly, gripping the young woman's shoulders.

Shi Yong chuckled twice: "I’m used to it. Whenever Director Liu gets anxious, he loses his temper. However, this time I can’t blame him; the situation is urgent, and my hands and the *graphic* machine ran out of power. He didn’t eat me, which is already quite considerate of him."

Ma Xiaofeng frowned: "Cross-regional crime? This is no ordinary headache. However, this guy certainly has a big appetite; he just had one the day before yesterday, and last night he actually went to Jian'an to have another one?"

Well, I will go right away

Upon hearing this, both Shi Yong and the other person brightened their eyes simultaneously

Subsequently, Shi Yong was also invited to the stage to say a few words, but Ma Xiaofeng in the audience crossed his arms and thought to himself

Without a word throughout the night, the next day, Ma Xiaofeng, this nocturnal creature, was pulled out of bed by Shi Yong. Looking at the electronic clock on the bedside table clearly indicating 8:15, Ma Xiaofeng couldn't help but complain.

"How is it that you were eliminated?" Ma Xiaofeng asked knowingly.

Taking out the tuft of black hair from his pocket, Ma Xiaofeng smiled helplessly. After a busy half day, this was the only clue that seemed somewhat valuable. However, there were also many monsters with black hair, and it could not be guaranteed that some of these monsters were not following the trend, going to hair salons to dye their originally different colored hair black in order to align with the current fashion of pretending to be innocent

After struggling to free herself from Shi Yong's clutches, the police officer said: "I heard that the director received a phone call this morning, and then became extremely anxious. After that, he searched everywhere for you. When he couldn't find you, he gave you a scolding, saying that a similar case had also occurred in Jian'an City, and you, the person in charge, seemed to have disappeared. You better hurry to his office, or the station will be in chaos soon."

Is there an incident in Jian'an

"It's not surprising at all," Shi Yong grumbled. "One monster is already enough to deal with; now there's another one. If I'm not worried, that would be strange."

No. Shi Yong unhesitatingly rejected Ma Xiaofeng's request. He was aware that his old friend's biological clock was entirely set to American time, meaning he was active at night and slept in the morning. However, with the murder case still unresolved, how could he allow Ma Xiaofeng to sleep until noon? Time is precious

Ma Xiaofeng smiled lightly, not taking it to heart. He closed his eyes and mentally reviewed the information he had just received.

Two police officers hurriedly exited the chief's office. Upon seeing Shi Yong, both displayed expressions of pity, causing Ma Xiaofeng to feel immense sympathy for his old friend's predicament. Shi Yong confronted Ma Xiaofeng with a glare, dismissing his cat-crying-mouse-like sympathy, and strode confidently into the office. Ma Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to wait a little longer.

"Shitou, what happened? Why are you only arriving now? There has been a new development. The director is furious with the library because he called you N times and you didn't answer any of them"

Thinking of that beautiful DJ from Heaven on Earth, Ma Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a wave of dryness in his mouth and throat

Shi Yong was also exhausted to the point of nearly collapsing. After taking a quick shower, he went to his dormitory to play chess with the King of Dreams.

Upon thinking of this, the smile on Ma Xiaofeng's face grew even more pronounced, reflecting an abundance of helplessness within that smile.

At the meeting, a police officer resembling a captain stood on the stage and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, last night, a particularly serious homicide occurred in our city, specifically in the largest entertainment venue, Tian Shang Ren Jian. A Chinese man was brutally murdered in the restroom. Given the similarities between this case and several recent homicides in Nanwen City, we have invited Captain Shi Yong, who is in charge of the case in Nanwen City, to participate in this investigation. We hope that through the cooperation between our two cities, we can swiftly apprehend this lawless murderer to ensure the safety of the citizens in both cities"

"Alright," Ma Xiaofeng said as he patted his old friend's shoulder, "You don't need to worry too much. Just like animals delineate their territories, powerful monsters also have the habit of marking their domains. That man-eating monster has clearly stepped into another monster's territory, so it makes sense that the other monster has appeared to drive away this unwelcome guest. Haven't you heard that the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Perhaps that other monster will become our ally."

After a long while, Shi Yong walked out with a disheveled appearance, and then brought Ma Xiaofeng to his office

Reluctantly getting up, Ma Xiaofeng took a cold shower, finally managing to wake himself up. The two of them hastily ate some fried dough sticks and soy milk downstairs before heading to the police station. However, just as they stepped through the door of the police station, a policewoman rushed over in a state of panic.

It is not surprising to encounter two monsters

I also find it difficult to handle. Shi Yong gathered the documents and walked out of the office with Ma Xiaofeng: "Just think about it, the search area has suddenly expanded from one city to two, making it even more challenging to find that man-eating monster."

Shi Yong replied irritably, "I have only heard that those who are not of my kind will have different intentions. Seeking help from monsters, are you out of your mind? Has a donkey kicked your head and made you foolish?"

Four deceased individuals, with not a trace of connection among them, the crime scenes are variable, the choice of targets is uncertain, and the only commonality is the consumption of certain organs from the victims. Such monsters can be easily captured in large numbers, and from these clues alone, it is impossible to ascertain the identity of the monster. Without knowing which type of monster it is, one cannot approach the situation based on the monster's habits for capture and extermination. Moreover, it is evident that another monster has appeared, making this matter increasingly complex. From these clues alone, it is impossible to ascertain the identity of the monster.

Brother, it is only 8 o'clock now; please let me sleep a little longer.

Around 9 o'clock, the two individuals hurriedly arrived at the Public Security Bureau of Jian'an by car. The Public Security Bureau of Jian'an was urgently establishing an investigation team. As Shi Yong and his companion entered the temporary office prepared for this case under the guidance of a police officer, the investigation team of Jian'an was holding an emergency meeting

On the way to He Shiyong's home, Ma Xiaofeng comfortably stretched his entire body on the car seat, yawning lazily

In summary, let's discuss it further after arriving in Jian'an City

When Shi Yong returned to his house on Xiaochang Road, it was already 2 AM. Although Ma Xiaofeng often mocked Shi Yong for living in a mere ninety-square-meter commercial apartment, calling it a doghouse, he was now so exhausted that he felt even worse than a dog. He no longer had the energy to be picky and directly occupied one of Shi Yong's guest rooms, falling into a deep sleep without even taking a shower.

Shi Yong nodded and said, "Yes, just now the Public Security Bureau from Jian'an called, stating that they have encountered a similar case and require our assistance in the investigation. I spoke with Director Liu, and the two of us will head over immediately."

After Shi Yong presented his identification, the police on Jian'an's side, including Officer Ma Xiaofeng who was accompanying him, did not ask him any questions. Ma Xiaofeng had used Shi Yong's identity as a cover more than once or twice, so despite being surrounded by a group of police officers, he appeared completely unperturbed. This aspect truly impressed Shi Yong.
