The two stones and Female Galixi were all transported back to the Investigation Bureau in Whale City, leaving Director Zhang of Octopus City green with envy. But there was nothing to be done; the Whale City Branch had taken the lead in organizing the capture.
This was the first time the Investigation Bureau had captured someone suspected of being Deacon Level. Branches across the country, including Headquarters, went on full alert and requested an internal livestream.
Director Wu beamed, delighted as he directed the staff to set up multiple cameras for a multicamera broadcast. They could switch to whichever angle they wanted. He could hardly have been happier.
The livestream's viewer count soared, jumping from zero to 567, then to 978.
It was afternoon, and everyone in the Investigation Bureau who was off duty received the group message informing them that the Whale Branch Bureau had captured a Shadow Stream member suspected of being Deacon Level.
"Seriously? The Whale Branch Bureau caught a Deacon?"
"Shadow Stream members are like ghosts. We can never catch them, and now they've caught a Deacon?"
"If you don't believe it, watch the stream. The internal livestream is already up."
The investigators opened the official app, quickly entered the password shared in the group, and joined the internal livestream.
Livestream: Whale Branch Bureau Interrogation Room 029, live. Viewers: 5,459.
Nearly all the investigators who were not out on duty had joined. The rest were either on duty or occupied with something else.
Not every investigator had time to spare. A large number worked night shifts and slept during the day.
Ke Meng was watching the livestream too. The interrogation had not started yet. Seeing over five thousand viewers, he asked Director Wu beside him, "How many people does the Investigation Bureau have now?"
