On the same day.

Before everyone dispersed after the battle, they received news from the bureau.

Except for the team that is about to carry out the mission, all other teams collect the Ruins-Slaying Sword for maintenance and inspection.

It will be collected in the afternoon, and maintenance will be completed that night for distribution.

After learning the inside story, Xu Shen, Mu Xue and others understood that the bureau had begun investigating the cause of Lao Xu's death, and suspected that it was caused by conflicts with people within them.

Perhaps it is necessary to investigate internally first, and then track down external suspicious organizations.

In terms of efficiency, Xu Shen felt that the bureau was acting vigorously and resolutely.

In the evening, Mu Xue and others all received their respective ruin-slaying swords, but Xu Shen did not. Only a notice was conveyed to him:

The sword is damaged and needs maintenance and repair.

Xu Shen had expected it and nodded calmly.

Mu Xue asked: "Have you fought with Xu recently?"

Xu Shen nodded slightly.

"Then you have to be careful." Mu Xue said.

Gu Qiufeng covered his head and said angrily: "Could it be you who killed Lao Xu?"

Xu Shen rolled his eyes angrily.

Mu Xue glanced at Gu Qiufeng and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's normal for the sword to be damaged. Xu Shen doesn't know Lao Xu, so the bureau will naturally investigate and compare the sword marks. Don't cause trouble."

Gu Qiufeng snorted. He said this casually. Of course, he didn't really doubt Xu Shen.

After disbandment.

Early the next morning.

Xu Shen received a notice from the bureau, requiring him to come to the bureau to cooperate with the investigation.

Xu Shen had breakfast and came to the civil service department of the bureau as scheduled.

I saw many other Ruinbreakers here, also waiting for investigation outside the interrogation room.

In the huge office, the people in the civil service department were busy like ants, writing notes for each of the Ruins.

Xu Shen was a little surprised. He didn't expect so many people to have their swords damaged, and he felt a little joy in his heart.

Soon, Xu Shen was led to a table by a clerical staff member to take notes.

"Mr. Xu, can you tell me where you were the night before yesterday and last night?"

"Relax at home."

"rest?"

"Well, sleep and exercise."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"No, I'm single."

"Why is there a chip on your sword?"

"Caused by cutting down ruins."

"As far as I know, you have no ruin-killing missions recently."

"Well, I just chopped off the ruins I saw."

"Is there any witness?"

"Do I count myself?"

"Haha, you really know how to joke."

After asking some questions one after another, Xu Shen basically said he was at home and didn't know anything about it.

At the end of the transcript, the young man shook hands with Xu Shen and sent Xu Shen out of the Civil Service Department.

When leaving, Xu Shen passed by other people and heard the written confessions of those people.

"Drink and play with women. That woman can be my witness."

"Sleep, what else can I do if I don't sleep at night? Fuck you?"

"When you ask what these mean, it makes me feel like I'm committing a crime."

Obviously, some of the people who destroyed the ruins were quite dissatisfied with this kind of interrogation-like transcript. The life of the ruiners was hard enough, and they were treated like prisoners. How could they have a good look and mood?

…

Grand Street.

Outside a hotel, a security cordon has been set up around the hotel.

Vehicles from the inspection office were parked nearby, and they were notified by the leaders above that they needed to cooperate with a special department to monitor this place.

The ruins here have been dealt with, and the bodies have been hauled out. On the floor where the accident occurred, blood stained the walls red. The massacre and destruction caused by the ruins coming to reality left this place in a mess.

Outside the hotel, some family members of the deceased were crying.

Because the corpses died in the ruins, they are contaminated with the power of the ruins. Some ruins have their own spiritual residues or some kind of toxins. Therefore, most of the corpses that died in the ruins need to be professionally destroyed and cannot be taken back to their families.

"Who is so cruel that he kills innocent people indiscriminately!"

"You lose your conscience! Do you still have humanity!!"

"You must find the murderer and seek justice for us!!"

The family members are sad and angry.

The guards in the inspection hall stopped the agitated family members to prevent them from disturbing the special department personnel inside who were handling the case and investigating. Those were scary guys that they did not dare to offend.

"If anyone is involved, this market may have been put here."

"But there are only two or three organizations that are capable of supporting C-level ruins. This needs to be reported to the bureau to see if the bureau can penetrate it and see which organization launched the ruins, so that we can directly target them."

The two ruin-killing personnel left the scene and walked out of the hotel.

When the family members who were crying outside saw the investigators, they immediately broke away from the inspection hall guards and rushed in front of the two men.

"This murderer kills innocent people indiscriminately and is heinous. Please help us catch the murderer!"

The family members tugged at the clothes of the two men and begged with grief and anger.

…

The next day.

A remote section of the suburbs.

Outside a residential area, in front of one of the residential buildings, two or three inspection vehicles were surrounded by police cordons. There was also a black armed vehicle parked.

As the guards from the inspection hall came in and out, many stretchers covered with white cloth were carried out from the residential buildings, and the stench of decay could be heard from inside.

One of the ruin cutters lifted up a corner of the white cloth. The stench swept over him and he couldn't help but cover his nose.

Although I often deal with the market, it is still difficult to get used to the pungent stench.

Therefore, after every mission, they would enjoy themselves, numbing themselves with alcohol, and cleaning up the unpleasant smell lingering in their nasal cavities.

"Been dead for about a week."

The ruin-killing personnel make a judgment.

Then he took out the instrument and immediately saw that the detection value on it kept beating, and his eyelids also jumped.

"With such a strong residual power of ruins, there must have been at least a C-level ruin here!"

"Be careful, the C-level ruins may return."

The two entered the Ruins Realm through the Ruins Destruction Device, searched and checked everywhere, but did not see the Ruins. Judging from the bodies with the least signs of decay inside, it was more than 48 hours old.

It means that it has been two days since I left here.

The two people exited the market boundary, and the busy inspection office personnel around them immediately came forward to report the number of casualties.

"16 people!"

When the guard who reported the report left, one of the Ruins Cutters couldn't help but shake his head and said to his companions: "These idiots, I saw an inspection hall five hundred meters away. At such a close distance, these guys just didn't notice it.

I guess he just collects his salary every day and doesn’t even report to work, otherwise he would be seen even if he passed by once."

"Maybe I passed by, but it was cold and windy. I closed the car windows and didn't smell the stench wafting from this small building." said the companion.

"Fortunately, Xu left. Otherwise, half of the community would have been eaten up before anyone would have noticed. The security in this suburb is really worrisome!" The Xu Xu officer shook his head repeatedly.

Then he waved to the patrol hall guards and said, "Let me inform everyone that the murderer has been arrested, so they don't have to worry."

There were many fog people gathered around them, and they could still distinguish the sirens of patrol vehicles. Many fog people were whispering at this moment.

"I've smelled the stench here for a long time. It's like dead fish."

"I heard that there are some unscrupulous people who are specifically trying to harm people like us, and 80% of the people here have been killed."

"It's pitiful. I wanted to report it to the inspection office, but there was no one there. I went there twice and didn't see anyone."

In the midst of the discussion, the guards of the inspection hall looked at the restless fog people gathered around them and immediately used the loudspeaker to notify the ruin-killing officer's words.

By the way, he flattered me a bit, saying that a big shot in the city came to handle the case in person and arrested the murderer.

Hearing the news, the surrounding fog people were all in high spirits. In surprise, they thanked the big shot in a loud voice for catching the murderer.

"Thank you sir!"

“It’s still the city’s big boss who is considerate of the people and helps those in need!”
