Chapter 18 Investigation
It's a new day, and everyone goes to work or school, as if the appearance of the dog demon has not made much difference to their peaceful lives.
Just like outside the country, you fight yours and we live ours, and we have another peaceful day.
However, in their spare time, people are still discussing the "Dog Demon" incident, especially around Harbin, where the discussion seems to be getting more and more intense, both online and offline.
The authorities are actually very troubled by this.
But compared with online public opinion, the authorities are more concerned about the incident itself.
The dog demon's corpse actually existed. The people who were skeptical at first, after seeing the dog demon's corpse with their own eyes, couldn't help but start to doubt their lives...
Just by seeing this with my own eyes, it is difficult to label this incident as a fraud.
With a large number of pictures and videos already circulated and even a large number of media outlets involved, the authorities were having a hard time deciding whether to cover up the incident or make it public...
If we choose to cover it up, will it give people the feeling that we are trying to cover up something? If similar incidents happen in the future, will it affect our credibility?
If you choose to make it public, how should you do it?
Are they going to broadcast the dissection of the dog demon's corpse in public? No kidding, the scientific research discoveries behind such a mysterious corpse may be priceless!
Afterwards, the matter was reported to higher and higher levels, and finally even alarmed the top leaders in Beijing...
In the end, not only was a scientific research team set up to secretly dissect the dog demon's corpse, but a dozen elite special investigation teams were also quickly set up from several military departments to start a secret investigation of the matter...
The person in charge of this matter is named Lu Yuanfeng.
A man in blue tapped on the keyboard for a while, then sighed, "No, the surveillance equipment inside and outside the police station was all mechanically damaged, and there is no way to restore it..."
Lu Yuanfeng frowned and asked, "What about the other surveillance cameras outside the police station and Baiyun Street?"
Several other people also presented bad news one after another.
Not only the Police Station, but also Baiyun Street, all surveillance equipment within a one-kilometer radius of the Police Station were destroyed.
This kind of damage directly affects the information storage of the monitoring equipment. Once that thing is broken, all the videos will be lost.
General monitoring equipment has memory limitations. Generally speaking, once the memory is full, some past data will be automatically deleted. However, the destruction of the information storage device will cause all monitoring equipment to become ineffective.
Of course they would not think this was a coincidence. How could such a coincidence happen? This must be man-made sabotage.
In fact, after inspection, they have confirmed that this was man-made destruction, but they have not yet found out what means were used.
Because all the surveillance cameras within a radius of one thousand meters, many of which are centrally controlled, are placed inside the house. If they are to be destroyed one by one, then the location of all the surveillance cameras must be obtained first, and then the houses must be entered at will to carry out physical destruction of the surveillance equipment.
Only a small number of traffic monitoring facilities were able to survive because the information was uploaded to the traffic control headquarters in real time.
Currently, those videos are being uploaded to professional departments for careful investigation...
This was a result that could be achieved through unconventional means, and no matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not figure out what tools and methods the perpetrator had used.
They currently have no way of obtaining information from technological means about the time when the dog demon appeared at the door of the police station.
Of course, if we really want to investigate, we can still roughly infer the time when the dog demon appeared by asking the testimonies of the surrounding people.
Someone is already doing this.
However, if they want to use this to trace the origin of the dog demon, without the exact time, it will definitely be a huge project. With only a few dozen people now, it is simply not enough!
Even if we could mobilize other departments to help, it would still be useless.
They already knew that this dog demon could switch between its normal size and gigantic size at will, and the difficulties caused by the disappearance of surveillance within a thousand-meter radius were far greater than they had imagined.
In this case, searching for a dog in a complex city is like looking for a needle in a haystack...
Lu Yuanfeng asked: "Xiao Hu, has the Baiyun Police Department found anything unusual?"
Xiaohu: "No, the police officers at the Baiyun Police Station said that nothing strange happened before the dog demon appeared."
"Are there any strange people reporting the crime?"
"In the past three days, the Baiyun Police Department has received a total of 43 reports from people, and has dispatched police 19 times. We have reviewed the detailed case records and found nothing unusual."
"There is a police officer named Wang Damu who said that he and his team of four went out on duty at 8pm the day before yesterday, February 12. At that time, the only female police officer among the four, Jiang Xiaoxiao, saw the dog in the flower garden."
"After returning from the call, Jiang Xiaoxiao was afraid the dog would freeze to death, so she drove it away. She saw with her own eyes that the dog hid under a car, but because she had other things to do at the police station, she did not intervene."
"That suggests that, at that point in time, the dog was probably not aggressive."
Lu Yuanfeng asked, "Before February 12, has anyone seen the dog?"
"Probably not."
"What do you mean by should? If there is, there is. If there is not, there is not."
Xiaohu said helplessly: "No normal person would pay attention to a stray dog in their daily life. Maybe they didn't see it, or maybe they saw it but didn't take it seriously, or maybe they saw it but forgot about it, or maybe the dog just happened to be away when they went in or out and went out to look for food. There are too many possibilities."
Lu Yuanfeng: “…”
I have to say, what Xiaohu said does make sense.
Xiaohu said, "This dog seems to be blocking people. It's like when I was in school and people were blocking me at the school gate..."
"Haha, that's a dog, not a person."
Lu Yuanfeng said so, but he still recognized any possible suspicious direction, so he asked: "So who were the people who reported the case the day before yesterday? Are there any suspicious people?"
"There were seven people who reported the case the day before yesterday. All the files are here." A responsible person placed a document in front of Lu Yuanfeng.
Lu Yuanfeng picked it up and read it carefully. He felt a little depressed after reading it: "Thieves, drunk driving, young couples fighting... Tsk, these are all things that the police department encounters every day."
The person in charge added: "We have investigated the family backgrounds of all the people who reported the case in the past ten days, as well as all the police officers in the Baiyun Police Station, but we found nothing unusual."
"Before the dog demon went crazy yesterday, there were only sixteen people left in the Baiyun Police Department. Before they could confirm that the dog demon was squatting at the door, these sixteen people had at least repeatedly entered and exited. Oh, and in addition to that, there were also more than a dozen takeout delivery staff coming in and out..."
Lu Yuanfeng's head was buzzing.
He sincerely felt that this was probably the most outrageous case he had ever investigated, and he didn't even have the slightest idea where to start.
Xiaohu said, "Boss, maybe, is it possible that the dog demon's appearance there was just an accident? Or, as the netizens said, the spiritual energy has revived, and the dog just happened to mutate."
Lu Yuanfeng was speechless: "Did it just mutate, and then all the surveillance cameras around it broke down? Hiss... we can't rule out this possibility, right?"
After seeing such an outrageous creature as the dog demon, Lu Yuanfeng felt that it was not impossible for the spiritual energy to revive. After all, he also loved reading novels...
But, doubts are doubts, and facts are facts.
You can’t just reply to the above by saying – There seems to be a revival of spiritual energy, please be prepared for the advent of a new era.
If he really dares to write like that, believe it or not, he will be sent to the library to be an archivist...
Lu Yuanfeng said in a deep voice: "But no matter what the reason is, we have to check it out. Don't be afraid of checking in the wrong direction. Every wrong direction you check is one step closer to the right one."
"This will be a tough battle, please pay 100% attention!"
