Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

Police officers have an unconditional responsibility to cooperate with the 404 Investigation Bureau. With Qin Huanyu, a top-tier policewoman, in addition, the Nanhu City police were very cooperative and quickly issued a case announcement as required, and accepted interviews from reporters of official media.

Chapter 62 Eating Mushrooms (3/4) (Please Subscribe)

The official statement regarding the attack and annihilation of the Qingzhaoshan outdoor live-streaming team, which has been trending online for the past few days, has finally been released.

Although Nanhu City is not very close to Qingzhao Mountain, it is the closest major city to Qingzhao Mountain, so it is reasonable for the Nanhu City police to issue the case announcement.

A middle-aged police officer with a square face, a burly build, and a rather serious appearance announced the investigation results to the public through official media.

The outdoor live-streaming team didn't die from wild men or monsters, but was attacked by a particularly large black brown bear.

Police released photos of the brown bear shot dead in the mountains, and the bear's large black hairy feet in the photos match the large black hairy feet at the end of the live video.

After dissecting the brown bear, fragments of the victim's clothing were found in its stomach, and DNF residue from the bear was also detected on the crossbow, which had been reduced to parts.

This is the truth behind the official announcement, based on sound reasoning and evidence.

Most of the people who were just watching the show were slightly disappointed, but they still believed it. At most, they would mention it a few times when chatting with friends over dinner, saying that even a crossbow is not safe against wild animals, and that a large-caliber rifle is more reassuring.

However, a few die-hard fans of that live-streaming team and some trolls still didn't believe it, and even posted comments on various community forums questioning the authenticity of the official announcement.

Some forums directly banned or suspended them, but some private forums, seemingly with a "the more chaos the better" mentality, actually highlighted and pinned those people's questions.

These people have some professional knowledge, and their questions mainly come from two aspects.

First, they recognized the crossbow the livestream team used for self-defense. It was a crossbow that utilized modern mechanical engineering, with arrows reaching speeds of up to 150 meters per second and immense power, enough to overwhelm even an 800-kilogram brown bear.

Secondly, the live-streaming team had set up a perimeter around the camp that night. It would be very difficult for such a large brown bear to approach the camp undetected. The live-streaming team consisted of experienced outdoor adventurers; with preparation and weapons, they should have been able to win against a bear.

These doubts have been echoed by some, and the topic has once again become a hot issue, with people discussing it online every day.

In response, Zero wanted to find some experts in animals and crossbows to help them suppress the doubts of netizens with authoritative explanations.

However, the experts who were contacted all expressed their difficulty after learning about the situation.

Because the doubts raised online are indeed quite valid, if they try to suppress these doubts using their authority, they may not achieve the desired effect, and their own authority may even be questioned by netizens.

In the end, Qin Huanyu and Bai Ling discussed it and came up with a solution.

Since only a few people know the truth of the matter, and the right to interpret it is entirely in their hands, this makes things much easier.

Bai Ling, as an online celebrity streamer, contacted several other online celebrity streamers with whom she had a good relationship, and they all expressed their opinions on the matter during their live streams.

Instead of starting with the hotly debated topic of whether modern crossbows could defeat brown bears, they discussed the physical condition of the live-streaming team at the time.

Tens of thousands of people witnessed the live stream team eating hot pot around a campfire before the attack.

However, viewers cannot see what is actually in the hot pot broth; they can only see some of the ingredients that are added later.

So the streamers started speculating that the live-streaming team might have added some wild mushrooms to the hot pot, and that the wild mushrooms were poisonous, causing them to hallucinate or slowing their intelligence and reaction speed, which led to their defeat in the brown bear attack.

Wild mushrooms are truly delicious, with a great texture and fresh flavor. They are a top-quality ingredient whether stir-fried or used in soup.

However, the wild mushroom industry is truly complex. Many poisonous and non-poisonous wild mushrooms look very similar, and even professional mushroom pickers with decades of experience can make mistakes.

Professional outdoor broadcasters certainly have a better understanding of wild mushrooms than the average person, but it's normal for them to make mistakes and experience hallucinations from eating them.

Even the most skeptical and argumentative individuals who question the official announcement cannot deny this possibility. If it were true, they would lose their veneer of 'neutrality and objectivity,' and their previous criticisms would crumble.

These nitpickers can only resort to probability as a last-ditch effort to argue.

Qin Huanyu and her team didn't argue with the trolls at all. Instead, they found a bunch of food vloggers to take advantage of the hype and popularize knowledge about wild mushrooms, sharing which wild mushrooms taste better and the correct way to cook them.

No matter the time, food is always one of the easiest topics to resonate with in conversation. When discussing the outdoor live-streaming attack, many people easily steered the conversation towards food, and gradually the heat of the incident itself died down.

The Bureau of Investigation has officially closed the case. Since the number of cannibals in the case exceeded 20, the case difficulty was ultimately classified as Level B. Zero and Squad 11 both had an additional record in their resumes and received corresponding rewards.

Those who receive rewards below Grade A will not be eligible to choose treasures from the Royal Treasury; they can only choose from a variety of material rewards.

Cheng Hai directly chose the reward of 50 Zhou Yuan, Bai Ling chose some rare herbs that would help the snake demon grow, Ling chose some materials for holy light magic, and Qin Huanyu asked for some special metals that even research institutes could only apply for in limited quantities.

The case of the cannibal of Qingzhao Mountain has now come to an end.

After the case was closed, Team 11 did not disband. The four members continued to live in Bai Ling's villa on the outskirts of Nanhu City, and their training as novice investigators continued.

Zero will then impart some techniques and experience in investigating supernatural cases, but before that, they need to review the Green Claw Mountain cannibal case.

That evening, the four of them were still having a barbecue by the pool in the backyard of the villa, but Zero's attitude was quite serious:

"Now that the debriefing is over, let's share our thoughts? Or any questions you have?"

"Sister Zero, did you know from the beginning that the attackers of the livestream team were cannibals?"

Qin Huanyu was the first to ask.

She had initially addressed Ling as "senior" rather politely, but the girls had gotten to know each other quickly, and their relationship had grown much closer over the next few days, so she started calling Ling "sister" just like Bai Ling.

"Of course, I've encountered these cannibals hiding in the mountains more than once or twice. The largest number I've encountered was more than 100 cannibal tribes... Luckily, that time it was in an uninhabited area, and we finally dealt with it by bombarding them with rocket artillery under the pretext of military exercises."

Zero smiled and nodded:

"So when I saw that big hairy foot in the video, I already knew that the enemy this time was an ogre tribe."

Chapter 63 Now you know the difference, right? (4/4) (Please subscribe)

"You knew from the beginning that it was an ogre tribe, yet Zero-nee chose this case as our tutorial case for new recruits? Luckily, there were only about 20 ogres this time... What if we encountered a large tribe with hundreds of ogres again? We wouldn't be able to hold out until we got fire support, would we?"

Bai Ling seemed a little scared as she patted her chest and asked, pouting slightly to express her dissatisfaction.

"Will not."

Zero smiled confidently:

"Although ogres are evil creatures, they cannot survive by absorbing spiritual energy like some other evil creatures. They also need to eat and drink, and they have a large appetite."

"Given the natural resources of Qingzhao Mountain, it can only support a maximum of 30 cannibals. Any more and they will have to expand their range of activity, and they will inevitably attack villages on the outskirts of the mountain."

"As for 30 ogres... I do have some trump cards up my sleeve. I definitely can't take them down by myself alone, but I can lead you out or hold out until we get fire support."

“I see… Hmm, I didn’t think that through. So it’s possible to judge the size of an enemy’s group by their living environment… I’ll remember that.”

Bai Ling looked like she had learned something new, then thought for a moment and asked curiously:

"There's one more thing... If Sister Qin and I hadn't come up with the idea of ​​using wild mushrooms to divert attention, Sister Ling, how do you plan to deal with those trolls who question the official announcement?"

"It's simple, just find a way to strengthen the brown bear or weaken the crossbow."

Zero shrug:

"We can say that the brown bear had come into contact with some radioactive minerals, which caused it to mutate and give it a higher intelligence and stronger fighting ability than a normal brown bear."

"It could also be said that the crossbow used by the live broadcast team was of poor quality, leading the victims' families to sue the crossbow manufacturer and shifting the focus of discussion to the product quality issue."

"Hmm... Sister Zero is truly worthy of being an Inspector, she's amazing."

Bai Ling was completely convinced and showed a hint of admiration.

Afterwards, Qin Huanyu and Cheng Hai asked a few more questions about the case, and Ling answered them all with ease, proving once again that the case was thrilling but ultimately safe, serving as a training mission for a team of rookie investigators.

"Have you finished asking all the questions?"

Seeing that Qin Huanyu, Bai Ling, and Cheng Hai remained silent, Ling elegantly picked up a glass of chilled beer, took a few sips, and then said seriously:

"Now it's my turn to ask... Are you aware of your shortcomings in the case?"

"I understand."

Qin Huanyu gave a bitter smile and frankly admitted:

“Since you’ve encountered cannibals so many times, it means that cannibals must be a kind of evil creature that the Investigation Bureau often deals with. The Investigation Bureau must also have detailed information in its database… If we had checked the information and compared it with the hairy-legged man in the live video, we could have confirmed the enemy’s identity before the operation… But we didn’t. We were too presumptuous. Until the enemy appeared, we thought the enemy would be a monster from the mountains.”

"Hmph, the fact that you can clearly recognize this shows that your arrogance is not beyond redemption."

Ling rolled her eyes at Qin Huanyu, which was considered an acceptance of the answer. Then she patiently lectured the three of them for a long time, telling them to always remember to consult relevant information before taking action in the future, and it would be best if they could memorize the illustrations of bizarre and evil creatures in the Investigation Bureau's database.

All three were adults, but in front of Zero, they listened obediently like elementary school students who had failed an exam and were being criticized by their teacher.

"anything else?"

After addressing the issue of the three men misjudging the enemy's identity, Zero sipped his beer and continued to have the three men conduct self-criticisms.

But this time, Qin Huanyu, Bai Long, and Cheng Hai looked at each other, unsure of what else they had done wrong.

They didn't think they had done anything wrong; in fact, they believed they had performed exceptionally well in their battle against the two ogres and should be praised.

"Fool!"

Seeing this, Zero scolded them with a hint of exasperation, but instead of revealing the answer directly, he asked a seemingly unrelated question:

"You should know that when our Investigation Bureau was still a photo studio, there were no positions like investigator or inspector, right?"

"Ah."

Qin Huanyu nodded. The portable power strips that Zero had given her earlier all had instructions. She quickly recalled the details and answered:

"During the era of the photography studio, only the Demon Slayer Guards, who were directly under the royal family, were ranked in nine ranks, from ninth to first, just like the officials appointed by the imperial court. The first-rank Demon Slayer Guards were equivalent to the deputy director of our current Investigation Bureau."

"well said."

Zero put down her empty wine glass, glanced at the three people, leaned back slightly in her chair, and crossed her legs, which were covered in black stockings under her high-slit nun's dress. Her slipper was half-dangling from the toe of her black-stockinged foot.

"Then think about it carefully, why has the title of 'Demon Slayer Guard' now become 'Investigator' and 'Patrol Officer'? Is it just because our photo studio has been restructured?"

After giving the three people a brief moment to think, about ten seconds, Zero didn't give them a chance to answer and instead announced in a slightly arrogant tone:

"Because times have changed! The rapid development of science and technology has made humankind's strongest force no longer martial arts and magic, but rather those technologically advanced weapons that can be mass-produced!"

"The Great Patriotic War that ended 70 years ago killed more than a billion people around the world, and there were cult-controlled areas everywhere, and even kingdoms established by evil beings and monsters."

"But less than a year after the two sides in the war shook hands and made peace, all the areas that were controlled by evil creatures, monsters, or cults were reclaimed by humans, and all resistance was crushed. Why?"

"Because nothing evil can withstand a barrage of bombardment! Especially the light and heat of a nuclear explosion, comparable to the surface of the sun, is enough to purify all filth!"

"So remember this! You are investigators of the new era! No longer the demon-slaying guards of the old era who would risk their lives to fight evil and demons at the drop of a hat! Your top priority is investigation! In combat, you must trust the power of the nation! Trust the crystallization of human wisdom called technology!"

"Your performance in dealing with the attack of two ogres was indeed impressive, but you forgot the most important thing to do—immediately call for fire support from the Bureau of Investigation headquarters!"

"If an experienced and excellent investigator were in charge of this case, he would have recognized the cannibal from the very beginning and led a heavily armed army into the mountains!"

"Even if he didn't recognize the cannibal by the big hairy feet, he would still call for fire support when he found the victims' camp, turn the camp into a fortress with landmines and automatic turrets, and then replicate the victims' behavior to lure the enemy into a trap!"

"Now... do you know the biggest mistake you made, and where the gap lies between you and excellent investigators?"

Chapter 64 Training Ends

On the side of the swimming pool in the backyard of a villa on the outskirts of Nanhu City, a policewoman in black stockings, boots, and hot pants, a female anchor in white stockings and Hanfu, and a monk in gray outfit sat obediently side by side, being lectured by a beautiful nun wearing a high-slit uniform and black stockings.

Qin Huanyu is indeed seriously reflecting on herself.

As for Cheng Hai and Bai Ling, it's understandable that they, a martial monk and a snake demon, would focus on their own martial prowess and ignore external fire support. But what about myself?

One's own extraordinary power is only a supplementary ability; one must rely on external forces to unleash its maximum effect.

In the case of Jealousy Incarnate, when exploring an old, indoor residential area, one should know to apply for an infantry fighting vehicle as a precaution. Why did one forget this when investigating a case in a remote, uninhabited mountain area? The environment of Green Claw Mountain is clearly more suitable for the use of heavy firepower and high-tech weapons than that of White Light City!

The answer is actually very simple.

Having just acquired the Dragon-Slaying Mace, a divine weapon that significantly boosted his combat power, he wanted to show off and thus became careless.

Fortunately, this time we had a reliable inspector like Zero leading the team, otherwise...

Just imagining what would have happened if Zero hadn't been there, and Cheng Hai was weak after unleashing his ultimate move, Qin Huanyu felt a chill run down her spine as she and Bai Ling faced 13 ogres simultaneously. Her beautiful face paled slightly.

"I'm sorry, I will reflect on my actions."

If a reliable senior points out your mistakes and shortcomings, then humbly accept it and perform well in future cases. It's not a big deal.

Aside from some initial frustration, the three members of Squad 11 quickly cheered up and continued to receive guidance from Zero at Bai Ling's house.

Ling shared her knowledge without reservation. Combining her own experience of more than 10 years with the case files of many classic cases retrieved from the Investigation Bureau's database, she reviewed and analyzed each case one by one, teaching Qin Huanyu and the other two how to become excellent investigators.

In terms of combat, Zero would occasionally personally spar with the three of them.

Without a life-or-death struggle, Zero's strength is still slightly greater than the other three, but only by a limited margin. Qin Huanyu and Cheng Hai could suppress Zero by joining forces.

However, the difference in combat effectiveness was not significant. Instead, Qin Huanyu and the others realized more clearly that times had changed. The biggest difference between patrol officers and investigators was no longer combat effectiveness, but rather rich experience in handling cases and excellent case-handling strategies.

The group stayed at Bai Ling's house for quite some time until the 21st day after the Qingzhaoshan cannibal case was officially closed, when Qin Huanyu and her team's special training as new investigators finally ended.

A rebellion of wild men broke out in Nanyang. A group of natives came out of the mountains, attacked and occupied a small town, and killed all the hundreds of residents.

While most of the savages still use primitive weapons such as spears, slingshots, and blowguns, a few savages have even used sorcery to defeat the town's police and now plan to use sorcery to sacrifice all the corpses of the town's residents.

The Holy Zhou Kingdom was naturally furious about this and had already dispatched troops to suppress the rebellion, intending to completely wipe out this barbaric and brutal savage tribe.

Considering that there were several powerful sorcerers in the savage tribe, the commander of the counterinsurgency believed that relying solely on local investigators would not be enough to deal with the situation, so he requested assistance from more experienced patrol officers.
