Chapter 200 Vampire Legend
Chapter 200 Vampire Legend
After completing the test, Lin Yeming packed up and headed to headquarters.
Due to the Hizomo incident, Director Sawai decided to establish a comprehensive headquarters base for TPC, but a final decision on the location has not yet been made.
This decision, which has not yet been made, has prompted all TPC branches to send people to the headquarters to keep watch.
As a result, Lin Yeming got to know quite a few people.
However, he had things to do today, and Ye Rui noticed a strange situation.
Recently, an urban legend about vampires has begun to circulate, starting with a news report.
A report titled "Dark City".
"Disappearances continue to occur in the G13 area of the Gulf, and this time a patrol officer has gone missing."
"The police station took several days to report it..."
When Lin Yeming arrived at headquarters, Ye Rui had already organized the collected information and placed it on the conference table.
“Take a look at these,” Ye Rui said, pointing to the documents. “This vampire legend has spread very quickly. In just a few days, it has caused a huge uproar on the internet, and people are in a state of panic.”
Lin Yeming flipped through the documents, his brows gradually furrowing.
"Judging from these missing persons cases, it seems that something unusual is at play. Moreover, the police's delay in reporting them may have some hidden story behind it."
Just then, Captain Megumi walked in, her face grave.
"We just received instructions from above to investigate this so-called vampire legend and missing persons cases. This has seriously affected social order and the public's sense of security."
Lin Yeming and Xincheng exchanged a glance and nodded. "Captain, we'll begin the investigation now."
Xincheng crossed his arms and pondered deeply, saying, "But where should we begin?"
"Let's start with the missing police officers."
"Start with the newspaper."
Daigo and Rena proposed different ideas.
After Daigo finished speaking, he looked at everyone seriously and explained, "The missing police officer is a key figure we know. The location and time of his disappearance, as well as his movements that day, might be the breakthrough for us to find the truth. Perhaps he encountered some special circumstances before he disappeared, leaving behind some clues."
Lina shook her head slightly, insisting on her point of view: "Starting with the newspaper makes sense. This legend started spreading from a report, and the newspaper must have firsthand information. Maybe they interviewed relevant witnesses or received some mysterious clues. If we find the source, we can figure out whether this legend is deliberately fabricated or actually true."
Deputy Captain Zong Fang nodded slightly, his gaze steady as he analyzed, "Both directions are worth trying. However, we must also consider the urgency of the situation and the spreading panic among the public. We need to split up and act more efficiently."
Horii scratched his head, a hint of worry on his face: "No matter which direction we start investigating, these vampire legends sound incredibly fantastical. If we really encounter that kind of supernatural power, I don't know if our conventional weapons will be able to handle it."
Ye Rui patted his chest confidently: "Don't worry, I'll provide technical support from the rear at any time. If there are any special circumstances, I can analyze the data in a timely manner and provide everyone with solutions."
Shinjo frowned, rubbing his chin: "Speaking of which, the police's delay in reporting this is indeed very suspicious. They couldn't possibly be unaware of the seriousness of this kind of missing persons case. Is there something they can't say, or have they been threatened?"
Captain Megumi calmly surveyed the group, her tone firm: "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must find out the truth. It's good that everyone is sharing their opinions, but the most important thing now is to take action."
“Shinjo and I will do the field investigation.” Daigo pulled Shinjo’s arm, his face serious and resolute, his eyes revealing an undeniable determination. “Shinjo is very experienced and has always been adept at this kind of field investigation. With him as my partner, we will definitely be able to complete the task efficiently and uncover the key clues hidden behind the missing police officers.” He held Shinjo’s arm tightly, as if conveying an invisible force, making Shinjo feel the weight of this responsibility.
Shinjo paused for a moment, then smiled confidently, patted Daigo on the shoulder, and replied cheerfully, "Haha, no problem! Daigo, you're not bad either. If we join forces, we'll definitely achieve something."
Lin Yeming hesitated when he heard that the two wanted to act together, wondering whether he should stop them...
After thinking about it, I decided against it. It's Daigo who's in danger, given that Shinjo is the one in the new city.
"I'll go to the newspaper office," Lina said, raising her chin slightly, her eyes filled with determination and confidence.
She gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority. "I'm quite adept at dealing with the media, and I can obtain more comprehensive and accurate information from them. Moreover, I'm meticulous, and I believe I can uncover details that others have overlooked from the materials provided by the newspaper." Her gaze was fixed firmly on the distance, as if she could already envision the scene of uncovering crucial clues at the newspaper office.
Captain Megumi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke seriously: "For the safety of our field investigation, let's mobilize the entire team. This incident is unusual, involving mysterious vampire legends and numerous missing persons cases, and the forces behind it may be complex. More people mean more strength; we can look after each other and better handle any emergencies. We cannot be careless; we must ensure the safety of every team member, and at the same time, we must find out the truth as soon as possible and give the public an explanation." Her voice was steady and powerful, carrying the unique authority and decisiveness of a leader, and her eyes revealed her concern for her team members and the high importance she placed on the mission.
Zong Fang: "I'll go to the newspaper office myself!"
"To be honest, I know a veteran in the media industry."
“Using a private identity makes it easier to achieve your goals.”
“In that case, everyone else should go and conduct on-site visits,” Lin Yeming nodded and said.
The others were somewhat surprised that the commander knew such a person.
"But if the Victory Team investigates this matter, won't it be reported in the media?"
Zong Fang smiled and assured him, "Don't worry about that. That guy is a real reporter and won't do anything reckless."
Kijima Megumi decisively said, "Then it's decided."
Daigo and Shinjo are in the same group.
Lina and Zara drive patrol cars for the mobile unit.
Lin Yeming, on the other hand, acted with Lucia.
