It really was in the center of the City of Moses. Except for the distant Latch District, the rest of the districts can directly enter the park without any transit.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within the park, there are also routes to several large districts.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tang Qi and Stana entered the park from Central Avenue, which happened to be the eastern area of ​​the park. The environment here was better than in other areas. After all, it was a dedicated area for the rich. It was quiet and peaceful and was indeed the most ideal place for night jogging.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, with the continuous occurrence of murders in this period of time, the number of night joggers was rapidly decreasing. They either went to the gym or simply quit this habit. He believed that the latter was more likely, after all, exercising was quite tiring.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two quickly arrived at the scene. They walked through the fresh air of the avenue path, and suddenly came to a swamp area with a pungent smell, both Tang Qi and Stana were a little uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the guidance of a police detective, Tang Qi soon saw the place where the body was found.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the edge of the swamp, there was a big pothole. The black mud was opened up and spread out, and the dirty sewage water had poured in. Some pus could be seen on the water surface along with some weeds. It didn’t look like the melting of biological grease, but rather like the body fluid of some organism.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were no dragging or fighting marks on the scene. He didn’t know if the victim was in agony or suffering, but he shouldn’t have had the power to resist.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After observing in silence for a while, he didn’t find any clues. He was just about to shake his head at Stana who looked expectant.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But at this moment, he seemed to have seen something with the corner of his eye.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He walked a few steps and squatted silently beside the hole. Finally, he saw it.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were several mosquitoes that appeared to have been flattened and fallen into the sludge. Some were fragmented, and one or two were intact. Different from ordinary mosquitoes, they had larger bodies, and their abdomen was bulging. They were as red as red quartz but covered by the sludge, ordinary people could easily ignore it.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tang Qi was able to see it because when he glanced over, a little glimmer of light suddenly flashed.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A special interface appeared slowly in Tang Qi’s mind.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Extraordinary creatures: Ogre mosquitoes. ]\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[State: dead larvae. ]\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Information Fragment One: A dead ogre mosquito larvae, it was only one-tenth of a second behind its siblings.

He was first stunned when he heard the question. Then he thought about it, and said, “I think it’s Lakeside Island, there are some villas there. It’s a small residential area for the wealthy.”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">…\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tang Qi and Stana soon appeared on Lakeside Island.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the police detective said, it was indeed a residential area for the wealthy. Lakeside Island wasn’t just an island, but a small group of islands. Each small island had a detached villa, and they could take a boat to and fro each other.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After glancing around, he finally fixed his gaze on the villa at the center of the lake. In fact, it was much farther away from the other villas, and the water quality in the middle of the lake seemed clearer.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two of them found a small boat and paddled towards it. Although it was not early in the morning, it was still foggy here. Gazing at the clear lake water through the fog gave it a gray-black texture that made people unable to see what was underneath.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Ding ding ~”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as the crisp bell rang, he heard a “click”, the white door was pulled open, and a young man appeared in front of them.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was a slender-looking man with a decent suit and a handsome face. His hair was very well-trimmed. Apart from the dark circles around his eyes, he could be seen as a wealthy gentleman.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Excuse me, you are?”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The man did not let the two in but asked with the door partially open.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Hello sir, I’m Stana, Sheriff of the Moses Police Department, this is Tang Qi, our consultant. I’m here to investigate several recent cases. I have a few questions to ask you. Perhaps you’ll be willing to cooperate. “\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stana took out her credential and shook it in front of the man. Although it was a discussion, her tone was irrefutable.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The man wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, he replied, “Okay, please come in.”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The three of them walked into the hall together. The man wanted to lead Tang Qi and Stanna to the couch area, but on the way, they had to pass by a huge glass tank with bubbles “popping” on the inside. In the water, there were yellow glass balls attached to the bottom and wall, floating and sinking.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of the bubbles, neither of them could really see them clearly.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing that both of them were curious, the man took the initiative to explain, “Those are all amber, I am actually an amber merchant. This water-nourishing method is my exclusive secret recipe. It can make the amber more sparkling and translucent, and can be sold at a higher price.”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“If the two detectives are interested, I can give you a few pieces for fun when you leave.”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of his “career”, the man seemed relaxed. He looked elegant and pleasant.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it was a pity that Stana still had a cold expression on her face. Obviously, she wasn’t very interested in the amber. When she walked in, she had already taken out pen and paper. It seems that she intends to cross-examine this young man on the spot. A young man who can earn a villa with amber.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, Tang Qi smiled faintly and pretended to be surprised, “Is it really amber? So many? I am also very interested in amber. These kinds of special creatures’ fossils are really amazing. You can actually collect so many. Can I take a closer look?”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After saying that, he walked directly to the glass tank as if he had never thought that the other party would object.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He walked a few steps quickly and was already less than one meter away from the glass tank.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the bubbles were still popping, it was enough for Tang Qi to see clearly what was going on inside. Dark yellow and crystal clear “amber” perched neatly on the wall of the tank, with a lustrous sheen on the surface and a wrapped mosquito curled inside.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each one was the same.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Densely packed, what reflected in Tang Qi’s eyes were all familiar mosquitoes.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large quantity of dim light gathered, and finally, the special interface popped up in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Extraordinary creatures: Ogre mosquitoes.”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“State: Incubation…larvae.”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When this scene appeared, he subconsciously turned around and was about to shout something when he saw a handsome face with a twisted and weird smile.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Translated b: James1kd2\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Edited by: UnderTheMoon\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>",1301,"2026-06-21T15:43:51.383Z",1,null,"c5576d8262d0dc2cdcedc1da729deff3d800382650f980a87827479c63ca8ba1","chapter-83-evil-god-seed-23","chapter-81-the-melted-corpse-21",89,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freq-af223f0f-2727-4724-a40a-5ad8d0ce61a2.jpg"]
