Glorious God Throne

“Mental condition assessment passed, no abnormalities.”

“…There are no traces of drug influence, nor any signs of drunkenness. After testing, his mind is very clear now, there is absolutely no problem with his mental state. His logical thinking ability is even stronger than most people. You are asking me to treat such a normal person with the attitude of treating severe mental patients?”

A young man in a white coat with silver-rimmed glasses on his nose spoke in a cold tone. His already overly cold face that was hard to approach became even more serious. “This is really unnecessary and a waste of time.”

“——Especially a waste of my time.”

The faces of everyone present were a bit awkward, but everyone knew how high the IQ of the man in front of them was, how low his EQ was, how talented he was, and how difficult he was to get along with.

Therefore, no one specifically argued with him.

Liu Ningshuang, who was quietly standing in an inconspicuous corner, secretly rolled her eyes and muttered, “I said it’s fine to find anyone, there’s no need to find this jerk.”

The jerk in Liu Ningshuangs mouth was named Yin Xubai, who was her cousin in terms of blood relationship.

But compared with Liu Ningshuang, who was lively, active, and mischievous since childhood, the other party was the legendary child of someone else’s family. He skipped grades all the way from childhood, mastered knowledge in several disciplines such as medicine, biology, and chemistry, and had already obtained a doctorate degree at the age of twenty-seven. He was even almost retained by the Imperial Capital University for teaching.

Even if Yin Xubai rejected the suggestion of staying for teaching and chose to return to Yuanyang City to set up a private laboratory, he still received the title of Honorary Professor of the Imperial Capital University with the various honors he received during his university period.

Because he had helped the Yuanyang City Public Security Bureau solve cases several times, he was also one of the extra-bureau personnel of the Public Security Bureau.

——Compared with this brilliant resume, it was simply a great fortune for Liu Ningshuang to become a police officer in the eyes of the elders.

And growing up in comparison with this child of someone else’s family, the resentment accumulated in Liu Ningfrost’s heart can be imagined.

In addition, Yin Xubai’s personality is indeed not easy to get along with. It seems that people with low IQ are not worthy to talk to him. Every time she stood in front of him, she always felt that every look of his was despising her IQ, which made Liu Ningshuang even more upset.

Just as she was secretly complaining, Yin Xubai seemed to have heard her muttering, and his cold eyes swept over directly, making Liu Ningshuang feel the familiar “King’s Contempt”.

She couldn’t help but shrink her neck and quickly changed the subject, “So, there’s nothing wrong with this guy Li Fufeng? Then what about the hallucinations he had before?”

Yin Xubai frowned, “——You don’t believe my judgment?”

Before Liu Ningshuang could go on, the others hurriedly spoke up, “Professor Yin’s judgment, how could we not believe it.”

“Just that…”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Li Fufeng.

Li Fufeng understood their meaning, didn’t say much, but insisted, “What I have to say remains the same.”

Yin Xubai had a look on his face as if they were playing some kind of charade, and the others finally spoke out in full, “It’s just that this time the situation is too incredible.”

——After Li Fufeng returned to the police station, he immediately told everyone about his experience, which immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Hearing that he, like the drunkard, had “seen” an inn at the same location, everyone’s first reaction was that he had been tricked into having a hallucination.

But now, Yin Xubai had already stated that his mind was clear. And Li Fufeng still insisted on his words without any change.

So, there were only two possibilities in front of them.

Either Li Fufeng was lying, or the thing was true. The probability of the former was extremely low, and everyone couldn’t figure out why he would tell such an absurd lie.

And the latter…

It meant that the whole thing was quite unusual.

Fortunately, Li Fufeng instinctively reached out and scraped off a bit of wall powder from the old wall of the hotel at that time, and this time he simply brought it to Yin Xubai’s private laboratory.

Hearing that the wall powder was going to be tested, Yin Xubai’s attitude was much better than testing Li Fufeng, a living person.

When the results came out, the always expressionless and overly cold “Professor Yin” showed an excited, even fanatical expression on his face for the first time.

His eyes were shining behind his glasses.

Liu Ningshuang had a creepy look on her face, and her body involuntarily backed up a few steps, “Did this guy take the wrong medicine?”

But Yin Xubai obviously didn’t notice her, but stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Li Fufeng’s sleeve, “Where did you get this substance? Is there any more?”

“Wha, what?” Li Fufeng felt startled.

“In addition to the general building wall powder components, glue powder, talcum powder and the like, it also contains an unknown component —— a substance that I could not identify before!”

Li Fufeng noticed that the hands pinching his sleeve were trembling, and Yin Xubai’s voice was also trembling with excitement, “I can assert that this is not any known substance. Whether it’s in Yao Country, or looking at the entire Blue Star —— do you know what this means?”

He met a pair of eyes that were eager as never before.

“——This means a new discovery!”

Hearing this, even the stupidest person understood. The shock on everyone’s faces could no longer be concealed.

“Professor Yin, you’re not joking, are you?”

“Why would I joke about this?” Yin Xubai, who had previously had a look of you guys are wasting my time on his face, now had a full face of hurry up! Hurry up and waste my time! He asked eagerly, “So, where did this thing come from? I must go and see!”

Seeing his excited appearance did not seem to be fake, everyone looked at each other and realized the importance of this matter.

“It seems that we must report to the cabinet as soon as possible…”

——And before they received instructions from the cabinet, none of them could leave temporarily to prevent leaks.

……

As one of the most powerful nations on the Blue Star, Yao Country itself has a long and profound history. The feudal system that had been in place for thousands of years continued until fifty years ago, when it was broken by the development of technology and the war that swept the world.

The last monarch of the feudal dynasty realized that the existing system was hindering the progress of the country and would make them fall behind in competition with other countries. So, he voluntarily gave up power and learned from the Chenxing Empire, which had the most advanced system on the Blue Star at the time.

From then on, the feudal imperial system was replaced by a more advanced constitutional monarchy. Starting from this monarch, the monarchs of Yao Country basically became the typical “reigning but not governing”.

They had a noble status and the honor of a king, but they did not have the power to rule the country, and they did not receive much preferential treatment under the law.

Any citizen of Yao Country could enter the officialdom of Yao Country through layers of exams such as college entrance exams and national exams. The cabinet, composed of six cabinet elders elected by the people, became the actual manager of the country.

The situation reflected by the Yuanyang City Public Security Bureau was reported to the capital through a special secret channel, and it immediately attracted the attention of the cabinet, which dispatched experts overnight.

——And their conclusion was consistent with Yin Xubai’s.

In the seemingly ordinary wall powder, there really existed some substance that had never been discovered on the Blue Star before!

Combining the testimonies of Han Shan and Li Fufeng, everyone realized that they might have encountered a supernatural event.

The mysterious blood of unknown origin, the eerie appearance and disappearance of the hotel, and this unknown substance that could serve as evidence… All of these shattered everyone’s original worldview. They had to start considering that there might really be supernatural phenomena in this world that are currently difficult to explain.

Seeing that Yin Xubai had already started to dive into the laboratory with the newly arrived experts, and even started a fierce debate on the research of this unknown substance, Li Fufeng was already speechless.

“The focus now should be on that serial killer, right? If we find him, we can understand everything.”

About this point, the cabinet side of course could not fail to consider. After receiving the news sent back by the experts, the cabinet immediately issued an order to include the Yuanyang City rainy night murder case in the newly opened abnormal secret file library, and dispatched people from the capital to Yuanyang City, and jointly established a special case investigation team with the local public security bureau of Yuanyang City to specifically investigate this case.

Early in the morning of the next day, the plane of the special case investigation team landed at Huayang Airport in the new city area of Yuanyang City. As soon as a group of people got off the plane, they were reported by the reporters who received the news that the special case investigation team had arrived.

This once again sparked a new round of heated discussion on the Internet.

[Special Case Investigation Team? No way, no way, the Yuanyang City Public Security Bureau can’t even handle a case, and they have to ask for help from the capital side?]

[I’m really disappointed in the action power of our local public security bureau this time. It’s been 18 days since the first murder case, and they haven’t even found out who the murderer is. Now they even have to bother the capital side to help out. Isn’t this making other provinces and cities laugh at us?]

[It’s good to hand it over to the Special Case Investigation Team. The people from the capital must be much more powerful. This time the rainy night serial murder case has shocked the whole country, and the murderer is probably not ordinary. I think the local police have done their best. Maybe with the addition of the Special Case Investigation Team, the murderer can be arrested and brought to justice.]

[I actually hope that this serial killer will not be caught. Anyway, I think the people he killed are not good things. These scum and losers are a waste of food when they are alive, and they will cause harm to others. It’s not too much to say that they deserve to be killed!]

[The above statement is too extreme. No matter what, private execution is wrong. If the murderer cannot be arrested and punished, everyone will feel insecure.]

[No, I feel very secure now. I walk straight and sit straight, the one who should feel insecure is not me~]

Unconsciously, the topic began to go off track again, and everyone began to discuss whether the killer’s actions should be or not. In the end, the supporters, opponents, and neutrals fought evenly, and countless keyboard warriors were fighting fiercely on the Internet.

So much so that the topic of the Special Case Investigation Team was unconsciously forgotten by people. Even if there were a few sporadic comments, curious about whether the Special Case Investigation Team would have any hidden purposes, they were quickly brushed down by the debate.

Invisible forces controlled the direction of public opinion.

No one knew that while they were arguing about the old topic of justice on the Internet, the members of the Special Case Investigation Team from the capital had already arrived at the Yuanyang City Public Security Bureau and had taken all the files related to this case.

And Li Fufeng, Liu Ningshuang and several local police officers, along with Yin Xubai and others who could provide technical support, were temporarily incorporated into the Special Case Investigation Team.

At noon that day, the alley where the back door of the Tianhai Bar was located and a nearby area were all isolated. It was said that the government was going to demolish and rebuild this area, and the few residents nearby were relocated after receiving some compensation.

The Tianhai Bar was also notified by the above to move. The once bustling Maple Leaf Street suddenly lost three points of prosperity.

That night, the rain was pouring.

——In the mood of countless people’s fear, worry, or expectation, the rainy night came again, and the ghost that haunted the rainy night finally appeared and disappeared again.

What was different from the past was that there were three cases that night, and the locations spanned the east and west of Yuanyang City.

According to the normal vehicle journey, even if the process of killing was not calculated, the time spent on the road between the three places alone would be more than an hour.

But the autopsy results showed that the interval between the three cases was a quarter of an hour. The three victims died one after another, and the interval was only a quarter of an hour!
