After hanging up the phone, Zhao Wenguo let out a long sigh of relief.

Thankfully, there weren't any Calamity Beast!

As for what they were talking about, it was possible that it was caused by Calamity Beast, but since the Calamity Beast had already run away, he didn't care much.

As long as there are no Calamity Beast around, that's fine.

Can a shell land in the same spot twice?

However, he immediately felt a headache coming on.

Although the safety of personnel at the Haiguang Public Security Sub-Bureau was no longer a concern because there were no Calamity Beast present, the deaths of two police officers came as a new problem.

If this was caused by Calamity Beast, it's manageable. But what if it wasn't caused by Calamity Beast?

Zhao Wenguo frowned deeply.

After a long silence, he slowly shook his head, picked up his phone, and sent a message in the Haiguang Sub-Bureau's group chat.

Zhao Wenguo: I've already asked the comrades from the Supervision Bureau to help with the inspection, and there are no Calamity Beast in our bureau right now.

The message has been sent.

Soon, Zhao Wenguo heard cheers coming from outside the open door.

He looked up, gazing towards the door, and couldn't help but smile.

However, he quickly suppressed his smile and found someone's Micro Q.

Zhao Wenguo: Xiao Yang, come here.

Xiao Yang: Okay, Director.

A moment later, a young male police officer knocked on the door.

"Chief!"

"Okay, come in." Zhao Wenguo put down his pen.

Upon hearing this, the police officer surnamed Yang walked in and stood in front of the desk.

"Chief, is there something you need from me?"

"Don't rush, sit down and talk." Zhao Wenguo pointed to the chair opposite him.

Despite his doubts, the police officer surnamed Yang sat down.

Zhao Wenguo looked at the young face opposite him and asked with a smile:

" Xiao Yang, how are you feeling about the work the bureau has assigned you lately?"

"Isn't the pressure too much?"

On the other side.

After dropping Shen Heng off at the entrance of the Supervision Bureau, Wang Hai drove straight outside.

The night shift was long over, and everyone who was supposed to go home had already gone home. If it weren't for what happened earlier, they would already be at home sleeping.

However, it was only a little before ten o'clock, so Shen Heng wasn't in a hurry.

He had already broken through to the Tier 2 a few days ago, and with the cultivation of the Mysterious Gate Visualization Method during this period, his mental strength had also increased.

Let alone just sleeping less, even waking up for several days in a row wouldn't be a big problem.

He skillfully made his way to his room on the fourth floor, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then went downstairs.

I had just reached the third floor when a drawn-out voice called me down.

"Hey, Shen Heng!"

Shen Heng stopped and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Just then, Old Li was leading Dahuang towards them. Dahuang was panting with its tongue lolling out, wagging its tail, and its paws were clattering as they landed.

"What's wrong, Old Li?" Shen Heng asked.

"When you get old, even taking a walk has to be done in shifts. Little Shen, could you take this kid for a couple of laps? Just to do an old man a favor?" Li Jianguo smiled, his eyes narrowed.

As if it understood, Dahuang behind them swept its tail even more enthusiastically.

Shen Heng glanced at Dahuang's wet nose and nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, sure!"

"Then I'll trouble you. A ten- or twenty-minute walk will be enough!" Li Jianguo said with a smile, handing over the dog leash.

Shen Heng nodded, took the dog leash, and led Dahuang downstairs.

A man and his dog were strolling around the public security comprehensive service park.

The public security integrated service park is different during the day than at night. You can often see small groups of people walking towards different buildings in the park, and it's unclear what kind of business they are conducting.

Shen Heng glanced around at the different buildings. Although he had been with the Supervision Bureau for half a year, he didn't really recognize all the other places.

Suddenly, I felt a resistance on the dog leash.

Shen Heng stopped, puzzled, and turned to look at Dahuang sitting there.

"What's wrong? Do you need to poop?"

Dahuang shook its head, pushed off the ground with its front paws, stood up, and lightly pawed at Shen Heng's pocket.

"What are you doing?" Shen Heng asked, somewhat puzzled.

Woof woof!

Dahuang barked twice, its eyes fixed on Shen Heng's pocket.

"Pockets?" Shen Heng pointed to his pockets.

Dahuang nodded seriously.

Shen Heng raised his hand and reached into his pocket with some confusion. Soon, he felt a hard sensation through his fingers.

Shen Heng paused, then looked up at Dahuang with some surprise.

"Woof woof!" Dahuang barked twice, as if urging Shen Heng on.

Shen Heng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

He slowly took his phone out of his pocket, and for a moment he seemed to recall what he had heard on his first day at the Supervision Bureau.

He looked at Dahuang with a strange expression.

" Dahuang, you don't want to watch dog movies, do you?"

night.

Haiguang District Public Security Sub-Bureau.

The sounds of keyboard typing and paper turning were particularly clear in the quiet office.

As the last word was written, Lin Xiaoyu put down her pen.

She rubbed her slightly sore neck, then stretched gently and turned her head to look at her side.

" Sister Ting, do you need to use the restroom?" she asked in a low voice, a tired smile on her face. "If I keep sitting like this, my back will break."

Zhou Ting looked up at the pile of documents on the table, sighed softly, opened her mouth, and was about to refuse when her body suddenly stopped.

Receiving no reply, Lin Xiaoyu leaned back in her chair, tilting the stool back and looking to the side, somewhat puzzled.

" Sister Ting?"

Under Lin Xiaoyu's gaze, Zhou Ting put down her pen and then stood up abruptly.

"Let's go, it'll be good to get some fresh air."

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyu laughed and stood up immediately.

The two walked out of the office one after the other, and the motion-activated lights in the corridor turned on one by one as they chatted.

In the bathroom, Lin Xiaoyu quickly finished and went to the sink to turn on the tap.

The cool water washed over her fingers; she shook off the droplets, then casually pulled a lipstick from her pocket and carefully touched up the color in front of the mirror.

"By the way, Sister Ting, what lipstick are you wearing today? It looks really good on me!"

Lin Xiaoyu turned her head to look at the closed cubicle and called out, then turned back to continue applying her lipstick.

After waiting a while without receiving a reply, Lin Xiaoyu chuckled:

"Hey, Sister Ting, what's wrong? Is there something you can't tell me? It's not something your husband gave you, is it?"

Just as she leaned closer to the mirror...

Bang!

A muffled gunshot rang out from inside the cubicle.

Lin Xiaoyu froze on the spot, staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror.

After a long while, accompanied by a stinging pain in her palm, Lin Xiaoyu came to her senses.

She slowly turned her head, her gaze filled with disbelief as she looked at the closed cubicle.

A moment later, a faint and somewhat nonsensical voice rang out in the bathroom.

"Ting... Sister Ting?"
