Everyone in the team clearly expressed great praise for Wei Wei and Ye Feifei—the two interns who solved the death demon spreading case and rescued the missing infant in less than three hours. They kept complimenting the duo for their boldness and decisiveness. Of course, there was also no lack of admonitions after the praise: "You two did very well, but don't do it again next time..." After eating a big meal cooked by Zhu Zai, everyone had their own things to attend to. Although the two were the heroes who solved the case, their remaining task was simple. They only needed to return the infant to its grieving parents and rebury the female corpse to conclude the matter. The infant was easy—Ye Feifei had protected it well, and when handed over to the police, the little one was still sleeping sweetly. But as for the female corpse... everyone was truly uncertain about it. The girl's parents had offered a high reward to find their daughter, and now she had been found. The twisted body, tattered bullet holes, and the body neatly split in the middle all made one's heart tremble. Captain Ouyang sat in front of the corpse, sighing for a while, then rolled up his sleeves: "Bring me my white coat." At that time, Wei Wei was surprised to see a captain completely different from before. He put on the white coat brought by Uncle Gun—a very old one that hadn't been worn for a long time. Then he had Uncle Gun steal Sister Lucky's makeup box, connected a water pipe in the room, and specially asked Uncle Gun to get suturing needles and thread from the hospital. Finally, he gently closed the door. "The two things the captain worries about most are, first, suddenly hearing demon whispers before death, and second, the fear of being dug up after death. He's always been very sensitive about these things..." Uncle Gun explained in a low voice, noticing the confusion on Wei Wei's and Ye Feifei's faces. They didn't know what to say; they only knew that several hours later, when the bride's parents rushed to the Guard Office and saw their daughter's body, they instantly broke down in tears—holding the forensic doctor's hand and thanking him profusely, even wanting to kneel and kowtow. Captain Ouyang, with a cigar in his mouth, looked somewhat proud as he said to Uncle Gun: "Collect the reward from these two later." With the victims returned, it came to the final step of every mysterious event. The person in charge was Brother Xiao Lin. The emergence of demonic powers had already divided this world into two distinct circles: one of people who believed in "scientific explanations" and another of people who devised such explanations. The Mental Barrier Project had long been implemented—not only building super cities to counter large-scale demon attacks but also effectively calming urban panic about unknown or mysterious events. Even in small places like Scrap Iron City, when something happened, they didn't try to cover it up but actively reported it. However, the reports had to be scientific! Brother Xiao Lin's responsibility was to produce an "explanation" that could be understood by the public and was scientific. Simply put, no matter what happened, the security office had to analyze the event from a scientific perspective, then have the administrative department polish it, and finally release it to various media to resolve public doubts. The worker making animal specimens, the recovered infant, the twisted female corpse, and the eerie flock of crows seen by many all needed "explanation." When returning to the office, Wei Wei saw the outline of ideas on Brother Xiao Lin's writing board: ...Anyway, it seemed quite reasonable. "Come, come, everyone stay for a while today." Hearing Captain Ouyang say this, the others began to tidy up their things. Wei Wei immediately went over to help Brother Zhu Zai serve soup, set out bowls and chopsticks, and then brought baskets of pre-fried meat patties to the table. The meat patties were fried very well—golden and crispy, with full and delicate meat filling inside. They went perfectly with tender green onions and spicy mustard threads. Along with the savory pork trotter soup, it was truly a treat. "First point, commend the two interns, Little Wei and Feifei, for their performance today... um, not bad." Hearing Captain Ouyang's tone suddenly become heavy, Ye Feifei immediately felt a little scared and didn't dare speak, lowering her head to drink soup. At this time, Brother Xiao Lin, who usually sat in the corner and never spoke unless necessary—content to be a quiet, handsome man—said softly: "We've always been keeping an eye on those superhumans hiding their identities in Scrap Iron City, and have even deliberately maintained very good relationships with them. But we've overlooked that the number of people worshipping demons is constantly increasing. Those newcomers are younger, bolder..." Hearing this, everyone unconsciously shifted their gaze to look at Wei Wei and Ye Feifei beside them. Brother Xiao Lin froze for a moment, suddenly blushing, and hurriedly explained to Wei Wei: "Don't misunderstand, I wasn't talking about you." The discussion ended here, and everyone could only disperse. Those who needed to file went to file; those who needed to write "popular science" continued to write it; those who needed to go to the police station went there. Everyone had experienced similar incidents many times and had become proficient. There was no joy in solving a mysterious event, nor anxiety about the existence of behind-the-scenes manipulators. Just like real environmental protection agencies, they can only deal with pollution when it occurs, and it's difficult to intervene in other matters. Ye Feifei was clearly having some difficulty accepting this, always feeling that not enough had been done. However, Wei Wei, appearing very knowledgeable, privately explained to her: "Many investigators in cities are . Demon-related incidents are too complex and always involve too many supernatural powers. It's basically impossible to investigate as thoroughly as real police. Besides, in such a big city, with just these few people, how much can they investigate?"
