89: Chapter 89 The Ninth Extraordinary Incident! The Mysterious Department [Super-Operation Bureau] is Involved!
Three days later, early morning.
Yanjing, a private villa area in the suburbs.
At this moment, the area had been tightly sealed off by layers of police tape.
Squads of police officers in bulletproof vests, fully armed, patrolled back and forth, their sharp gazes constantly scanning the elderly men and women nearby who were pointing and watching the excitement, never finding it too chaotic.
"Director An, you have finally arrived. We haven't touched the crime scene; we are waiting for the [Super-Duty Bureau]'s assessment!"
"How many people died in the villa?"
"Four people, all of them wealthy scions with substantial net worth!"
"How long has it been since the incident?"
"Two and a half hours!"
"Alright, I understand."
Director An Lei nodded to the police officer in charge beside him.
Immediately, with a solemn expression, he turned to the seven [Super-Duty Bureau] team members behind him and said:
"Follow the original plan and carefully inspect the situation inside the villa; do not overlook any suspicious corners!"
"Remember, especially the traces of Transcendent energy; check them even more carefully!"
"In half an hour, I want a detailed report on the 'Transcendent energy attribute' of the perpetrator!"
"Director An, understood!"
The seven team members, dressed in red and yellow tight-fitting combat uniforms with the exclusive "Golden Dragon icon" of the Super-Duty Bureau printed on their chests and cold weapons strapped to their backs, responded solemnly and walked into the detached villa.
A strange gleam flashed in Director An Lei's eyes as he walked to the side of the villa and lit a cigarette.
This was the ninth Transcendent incident he had handled since becoming the Director of the [Super-Duty Bureau]!
The full name of the Super-Duty Bureau is the "Special Task Force for Transcendent Affairs," a special department that has direct access to the highest levels of Yanjing.
Back then, the Chen Family and the Wang Family made a deal, and he took the opportunity to become the person in charge of the "Mysterious Department."
Later, after his establishment and refinement, the Mysterious Department was officially named the [Super-Duty Bureau].
And he, without hesitation, became the first Director of the Super-Duty Bureau!
The previous eight cases were mostly in the neighboring province of Xiangnan and were "Transcendent perpetrator cases" with relatively severe circumstances that caused a great sensation!
And this time, the site of the disturbance appeared in Yanjing!
As soon as this matter was reported, it immediately attracted the strong attention of the higher-ups, who demanded that Director An Lei must unearth the perpetrator and bring him to justice!
After all, Transcendent methods are unpredictable; if they can kill wealthy scions right under their noses, they could strike at the younger generation of their Families, or even... intercept their own travel convoys!
Therefore, the Eastern higher-ups were anxious!
They even handed over the mobilization authority of a portion of the Yanjing garrison to Director An Lei!
They only required him to strike with thunderous force and beat those Transcendent individuals lurking in the shadows until they dared not even harbor "evil" thoughts!
"Is it a test of our [Super-Duty Bureau]'s methods, or is it a crime committed by a new Transcendent?"
Pinching the cigarette butt and taking a drag, Director An Lei looked through the side window of the villa at the bloody scene inside and couldn't help but ponder to himself.
Through days of investigation, he had discovered a secret Transcendent organization in Yanjing; the number of people inside was not large, but every one of them was an elite.
Among them, there was even no lack of [F++ Grade Transcendent]!
As for the background of this Transcendent organization, Director An Lei had roughly guessed it; everyone among them was a [Destined One]!
"However, to be able to become a Destined One, they certainly aren't simple people. They should know that the foundation of the East is not as simple as it appears on the surface; there is no reason for them to come and test us..."
"Perhaps, there is another purpose for their strike this time?"
Throwing the cigarette butt under his feet and stepping on it to extinguish it, Director An Lei adjusted his trench coat collar and stepped into the villa's hall.
Upon entering, what rushed into his nostrils was not the smell of blood, but an extremely heavy burnt smell, like burning plastic.
Director An Lei shifted his gaze and saw a small hole half a meter wide in the corner of the villa's hall.
He walked closer and saw that the hole was an arm's length deep.
Inside, besides some burnt-out remnants of yellow paper, there was a large mass of charred black material.
"...An album?"
The charred black material had not completely burned out; through the lingering warmth, Director An Lei took it out and placed it on the ground, spreading it with his foot.
A few breaths later, he picked up a blurry piece of plastic from the charred layers and examined it, discovering it was a torn corner of a photograph.
Director An Lei frowned and turned to a Super-Duty Bureau team member who was searching for traces of Transcendent energy on the corpses in the hall and said:
"Take a look at this photo; is there any possibility of restoring it?"
The team members who could join the Super-Duty Bureau were, without exception, the strongest elite soldiers of the East, and they were proficient in various professional skills.
Using some Transcendent resources left behind by the Wang Family, they had all initially stepped into the Transcendent Domain, with a life level of [F+ Grade].
"Director An, it is too severely damaged, and the surface is too blurry; it cannot be restored at all." The team member walked over, took a look, and shook his head, speaking directly.
But then he changed his tone and said, "We can detect the material of the photo through special instruments; we should be able to get some useful information."
"Forget it, that would take too much time."
"You continue searching and organize the detailed information as soon as possible."
"Understood!"
Half an hour later.
Director An Lei leaned against the Super-Duty Bureau's dedicated black vehicle, holding the detailed information on the Transcendent traces at the crime scene that the seven team members had just organized.
"The Transcendent perpetrator... life strength [F+ Grade]... revenge killing, from the start of the attack to the end was no more than half a minute... suspected of having an Awakening of an ability talent!"
"Awakened an ability talent? This person is not simple!"
Director An Lei's eyes lit up.
He had never seen an ability talent user before; he had only heard that someone in Xiangnan had seen a powerhouse surrounded by purple lightning.
His gaze continued downward.
By investigating the circles of the deceased while they were alive, as well as information queried from internal sources, he quickly locked onto the target of the revenge killing!
"Fu Tianli, male, 25 years old."
"Formerly an heir to a large civil engineering company in Yanjing, due to an accident, he unfortunately contracted syphilis at a nightclub. Not long after, both of his parents died unexpectedly."
"After handling the funeral arrangements, Fu Tianli sued the deceased individuals in the Yanjing Supreme Court, claiming that they had not only killed his parents to seize his Family's company but also intended to kill him."
"Furthermore, Fu Tianli also stated that these people had conflicts of interest with some officials in Yanjing."
"When the verdict came down, Fu Tianli lost the lawsuit on the grounds that there was no evidence."
"Moreover, after expert diagnosis, because Fu Tianli could not accept the grief of his parents' passing, he suffered huge psychological trauma and developed persecution mania."
"Afterward, Fu Tianli disappeared from Yanjing and returned to his ancestral home in Xiangnan."
"And his Family's large civil engineering company went into bankruptcy liquidation half a year later, and some high-quality assets as well as most of the company's business were taken over by the company jointly built by the deceased individuals."
"..."
Seeing Fu Tianli's internal file, Director An Lei had a strange expression.
Although it didn't completely point to this person yet, Director An Lei could be certain that Fu Tianli was definitely the Transcendent perpetrator!
"Fu Tianli is not a [Destined One], and added to that, he is an ability user; how is this not an opportunity for the Super-Duty Bureau?"
Director An Lei handed the data sheet to the team member beside him, crossed his arms, and leaned against the vehicle, his eyes revealing a hint of sharpness.
Their Super-Duty Bureau did not lack personnel, but it lacked Transcendent individuals with outstanding talent!
Xiangnan had stepped into the Spiritual Energy Revival ahead of time, and before long, the spark of the Transcendent would eventually spread throughout the entire East.
If there were no sufficiently powerful Transcendent strength, how could they quell evil spirits and clean up those monsters and demons lurking in the shadows?
