Haiguang Public Security Sub-Bureau.
After Wang Hai identified himself, the two waited in front of the service window.
Shen Heng lowered his eyes slightly and listened carefully.
The questions from the public, the worried whispers of the police officers, the low buzzing of mosquitoes...
"No? Does that mean we don't need to do anything, or is this not Calamity Beast?" Shen Heng pondered.
After a moment of fruitless thought, he slowly raised his eyes, met Wang Hai's gaze, and shook his head.
Both sides remained standing in place, waiting.
Soon, the director of the Haiguang Public Security Sub-Bureau came running over; he was a veteran police officer in his forties.
"Sorry, Director Wang, I was at the place where that police officer committed suicide last night, so I was a little late!" Zhao Wenguo said, panting heavily.
"Alright, just take us there!" Wang Hai said.
"Yes, this way!"
Zhao Wenguo led the way, with Wang Hai and Shen Heng following closely behind.
The three of them went up to the third floor and then walked straight towards the restroom.
There were three or four police officers guarding the entrance to the restroom.
Upon seeing the three arrive, the police officer standing at the bathroom door quickly stood at attention and saluted.
"Director, sir!"
Zhao Wenguo nodded without replying and led the two into the bathroom.
There are five stalls in the bathroom, four of which are closed and only one is open.
Led by Zhao Wenguo, Shen Heng and Wang Hai stood outside the open cubicle.
There was no need for introduction, nor was there any; everything was already laid bare before their eyes.
A young police officer in a navy blue uniform was slumped on the toilet in the stall, his limbs hanging limply, his head resting against the toilet tank.
A bloody hole pierced through his head, spurting blood onto the wall behind him.
" Director Wang, what do you think?" Zhao Wenguo turned to look at Wang Hai.
Wang Hai didn't speak. He stepped forward and placed his hand on the corpse.
Shen Heng's gaze fell on the bloody hole in the corpse's head.
As for the cause of death, it's almost certain to be the gunshot wound. What's uncertain now is whether any Calamity Beast were involved in the process.
The captain went up to confirm this, using his Origin Power to circulate inside the corpse and perform a simple check to see if any internal organs were missing.
If so, then it can be basically concluded that this incident is Calamity Beast.
If not, then this incident is more likely a suicide.
After all, the corpse wasn't missing any internal organs, so if it was still Calamity Beast incident, there's only one possibility.
That means the Calamity Beast kill purely for the sake of killing, but...
Shen Heng thought of what the captain had just told him.
The last time someone committed suicide was two weeks ago.
If the killing was purely for the sake of killing, the time span shouldn't be this long.
But if it's for hunting...
While Shen Heng was pondering, Wang Hai had already removed his hand from the corpse.
Shen Heng looked over with a questioning gaze.
Wang Hai looked at him and shook his head slightly.
Isn't it Calamity Beast?... Shen Heng lowered his head slightly in thought.
" Director Wang, how is it?" Zhao Wenguo asked with some concern.
"My body is unharmed," Wang Hai stated, stating the results of his examination.
"So that means it has nothing to do with the Calamity Beast?" Zhao Wenguo breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"It's not certain yet, but we'll check the Haiguang Public Security Sub-Bureau area to make sure the Calamity Beast isn't hiding somewhere else," Wang Hai said.
"Yes, that's perfect!" Zhao Wenguo nodded in agreement. "Do you need me to arrange for a few officers to accompany you?"
"No need, we'll handle it ourselves. Just let them know not to interfere with us!" Wang Hai said.
"Alright, alright, then I'll trouble you Director Wang!" Zhao Wenguo said gratefully.
Wang Hai nodded and turned to walk outside.
Shen Heng took one last look at the corpse and quickly followed.
On the way, Wang Hai asked, "How are you feeling?"
Shen Heng hesitated for a moment, then frowned slightly and said:
"Although it seems to have nothing to do with the Calamity Beast, I still feel like something's not right."
Wang Hai turned to look at Shen Heng, then said:
"Was it because of those two police officers who committed suicide?"
Shen Heng paused, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Yes, that's right. In any case, it's very strange that two well-trained police officers committed suicide when the investigation showed no signs of mental illness!"
"It is very strange." Wang Hai nodded.
"Does the captain also feel this is Calamity Beast incident?" Shen Heng turned to look at Wang Hai.
"Yes, that's why I said I wanted to check out the Haiguang Public Security Sub-Bureau."
Wang Hai nodded, and then gave instructions:
"Listen carefully for a moment. If you hear any movement, don't move. First, evacuate the rest of the people here, and then call Han Ling and the others over."
"What if there isn't one?" Shen Heng asked.
"If not, then it means the Calamity Beast has left this place, and everything is fine here," Wang Hai said.
Shen Heng nodded.
There are two main ways in which the Calamity Beast behave.
One type involves hunting in one place, similar to establishing a territory;
Another option is to wander around and hunt randomly. After hunting, they might run around or find a den to stay in.
In short, it's practically impossible for someone to hunt in one place and then run off to hide elsewhere afterward.
In other words, if they don't find Calamity Beast during their inspection, then this place can be considered relatively safe.
The two searched the Haiguang Public Security Sub-Bureau thoroughly, including the reception hall, reporting area, office area, case-handling area, logistics area, canteen...
Meanwhile, in the office of the director of the Haiguang Public Security Sub-Bureau.
Zhao Wenguo absentmindedly flipped through documents behind his desk, his gaze frequently drifting to the clock on the wall.
He wanted to call Director Wang of the Supervision Bureau to inquire about the progress of the inspection, but he was worried that his actions might affect the other party; he wanted to deal with his work, but he couldn't calm down.
After a long silence, he gave a wry smile, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.
"Sigh, before meeting them, I was really looking forward to seeing what it would be like to meet such a legendary ability user, but after actually meeting them, I think it would have been better if I hadn't."
"Hopefully it's not Calamity Beast, otherwise the two of them will just die so inexplicably..."
He sighed softly and turned to look out the window.
"If only there were no other worlds, no Calamity Beast, wouldn't it be better for everyone to live peacefully..."
Just then, a series of jingling sounds rang out.
Zhao Wenguo perked up and picked up the microphone.
"Hello, this Haiguang Sub-Bureau. May I ask who you are?"
"Yes, Director Wang, it's me."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you so much for your help this time!"
"Yes, you're too cautious."
"Okay, I understand, I'll be careful!"
"Okay, goodbye."
