Yingqi, Antu City Security Department.
At dusk, Officer Yoshino, who was in charge of investigating the bombing, stood ramrod straight as he answered the phone.
"Yoshino, how is the bombing investigation going?" A stern voice came through the phone.
"Reporting to the director, the DNA data has been fully collected, and the evidence department is conducting comparisons. In addition, all Security Department officers have been dispatched to patrol the entire city. We will not let a single suspicious person slip through."
"You must produce results as soon as possible. This is the first major case since we at Yingqi relocated to this land. So many people were killed and injured, and the impact has been extremely bad. Entrusting it to you shows how highly we regard you. Do not let us down."
"Yes!" Yoshino said loudly. "I will not disappoint my superiors' trust!"
After the call ended, Yoshino took a deep breath. His shoulders felt heavy, and the pressure was immense.
The caller had been the director of the Banzhen Security Headquarters, the highest-ranking official in Yingqi's Security Department system.
For the director to personally ask about the progress meant that higher-ranking officials, perhaps even Lord Divine Child, might be watching this case.
That was no small matter... He had heard rumors that Lord Divine Child had been furious over the sinking of their island homeland and problems with the cultivation of certain internal personnel, and had dealt with many people.
Yoshino knew that if he failed to handle the case properly, he would likely meet the same fate.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in."
A security officer entered and reported, "Officer Yoshino, we have completed the patrol of the northern district and found no suspicious individuals."
"Continue to the southern district. Do not overlook a single corner of the city.
