Chapter 256 - 256 256 Man-made Disaster

256: Chapter 256: Man-made Disaster 256: Chapter 256: Man-made Disaster National Security Bureau, in the conference room.

Jin Li, Tianjing, Ye Shikai, and a blood test technician.

“Doctor Chen, what does this chimeric blood mean?” Jin Li said to the doctor beside him.

“To put it simply, it means that this creature has the DNA of both species in its body.” Doctor Chen had a solemn expression, mixed with an undeniable surprise.

After so many years in medicine, this was the first time he had encountered such a case.

“You mean to say, the Mothman is a combination of a human and a moth?” Jin Li asked.

“That’s one way to understand it.”

“Alright, you may leave now.

Remember to keep this matter strictly confidential.” Jin Li waved his hand, dismissing Doctor Chen.

“Mr.

Ye, what do you make of this report?” Jin Li placed the lab report on the table and looked at Ye Shikai, whose face was heavy with concern.

“In reality, there is no such thing as the Mothman.

To be exact, what we have seen is a mutant.” Shikai began, if what Doctor Chen said was true, then the Mothman was probably originally human, who mutated due to moth genes in the body.

“Mutant, isn’t that something from the movies?

Does it actually exist?” Tianjing couldn’t quite believe it.

If this was man-made, then it could be considered a biochemical weapon.

“Director Jin, we must investigate this matter immediately.

My guess is that the Mothman has a human form during the day and only transforms into the Mothman at night.” Ye Shikai’s tone was very certain, as if he had thought it through deeply.

“Why do you think that?” Jin Li inquired.

“From the death case of Cheng Mei and Sun Yu to the Huatao Bridge collapse, it indicates that the Mothman has never left Yanjing.” Listening to Ye Shikai, Jin Li also nodded, indicating agreement.

“In daylight, with such a significant presence, how could the Mothman not be noticed if it appeared in the city?” Ye Shikai continued.

“Perhaps, the Mothman hides in the deep forests of the suburbs during the day and then returns to the city at night?” Tianjing speculated with some doubt.

“If that were the case, the Mothman would be constantly on the move.

With so many surveillance cameras along the way, why haven’t we ever found a trace of it?” Ye Shikai pointed to the map hanging on the wall.

The suburbs are a significant distance from the urban areas; even if flying, it would be easy to spot, not to mention the numerous surveillance cameras.

“Most importantly, take a look at this.” Ye Shikai took out his phone and projected several videos onto the big screen.

It was from the night of the Cheng Mei and Sun Yu death case.

After Sun Yu was killed by the Mothman, it flew around briefly and then crashed to the ground, landing heavily in a narrow alley.

“Where did these videos come from?” Director Jin was surprised.

Where did Ye Shikai get these videos?

“Spymaster.”

“What?

You know the Spymaster?” Jin Li stood up abruptly, even more surprised now.

The National Security Bureau had been searching for the Spymaster for years and couldn’t find them; how did Ye Shikai come to know her?

“Now, there is no Spymaster anymore.” Ye Shikai said indifferently, then returning to the topic, “I reviewed the surveillance footage for the days following; that alley never showed the Mothman again.”

“So, the Mothman is among the crowds in human form during the day.”

“Correct.” Ye Shikai nodded.

Ye Shikai took a waterproof bag out of his pocket.

Inside were a piece of concrete and a piece of rebar.

“This is what I retrieved from the ruins of the Huatao Bridge.

These rebars and concrete have been tested and found to be substandard.

They are utterly inadequate for supporting a bridge.” Ye Shikai’s tone was heavy and carried a hint of anger.

The collapse of Huatao Bridge was entirely an accident, an act of man.

The appearance of the Mothman might have been a coincidence, but the way it was sensationalized by the media led most people to believe the Mothman caused it.

“This… “Jin Li’s face became even more solemn.

……

City Wind Building Materials Company, the main supplier of building materials for the Huatao Bridge.

Ye Shikai, accompanied by Zhang Ting, arrived at the company.

What surprised Shikai even more was that the location of the company was the exact building he and Tianjing had infiltrated.

“Hey, what do you two want to buy?” As soon as they entered, a man in a suit approached them with a smile.

“We’re police, here to inspect the quality of your company’s products.” Zhang Ting immediately showed her police badge, and the man’s face instantly turned awkward.

“This… Our company’s product quality has always been very good, no…”

“Cut the nonsense, I’m here to inspect, and this is the search warrant.” Zhang Ting said impatiently, especially after Ye Shikai had told her about the inferior materials, Zhang Ting was as fired up as if she were on a crusade.

At this moment, a burly man approached them.

“I am Chou Feng, the manager of this company.

It’s, of course, fine for the two officers to inspect the products, but the warehouse is quite far from here, please follow me.” Chou Feng got Ye Shikai and Zhang Ting into a jeep and headed towards the suburbs.

“Manager Chou, did your company only recently move to that building?” Ye Shikai asked.

“Yes, we just moved a few days ago.

It took several days to fully settle because of the large number of staff,” Chou Feng replied.

After nearly two hours of driving, the car slowly stopped in front of a large factory.

“Officers, please wait inside the car for a moment, I need to discuss some matters with the people in the factory,” Chou Feng turned around with an apologetic face.

“No problem, go ahead, Manager Chou.” Ye Shikai waved his hand, and once Chou Feng got out of the car, Ye Shikai immediately began looking around.

“Shikai, don’t you feel that this Chou Feng purposely took a long way around?” Zhang Ting checked the location and said, noting that what could have been an hour’s drive took nearly two.

“Right, there’s something odd about this Chou Feng.

Be careful.” Shikai watched Chou Feng from a distance; he was conversing with a worker and seemed somewhat nervous.

Ye Shikai and Zhang Ting got out of the car and walked straight towards Chou Feng.

“Manager Chou, may we begin the inspection now?” Ye Shikai asked, his gaze fixed intently on Chou Feng’s face, and indeed he noticed something amiss.

“Of…

of course, officers, please come this way,” Chou Feng pointed toward the factory not far away.

Ye Shikai opened the factory door where construction materials were densely packed inside.

Ye Shikai and Zhang Ting walked in slowly, lifting the covers of the materials to begin their inspection.

“Shikai, do you smell gasoline?” Zhang Ting rubbed her nose and sniffed carefully.

“There is a hint of gasoline smell.” Ye Shikai uncovered a tarp; under it was a pile of rusty rebars, drenched in liquid.

He bent down, touched it with his finger, and brought it to his nose to smell.

This was gasoline.

Suddenly, Ye Shikai scanned the surroundings and realized there was not a single worker, his pupils constricted sharply.
