Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk - Chapter Twenty

“it’s over.”

Nia was lying on the ground in a daze, and the wakizawa was inserted less than one centimeter from the side of his face.

He seemed to be in a daze, and it seemed that he had just woken up at this moment. The will-o’-the-wisp that haunted him had vanished at this moment, and so had the half-illusioned, half-real visions of himself.

The boy’s skin returned to pale, yellow and thin, like an ordinary homeless person. Lying on the ground with his upper body naked at this moment, he actually showed a slight sense of thinness.

See Shenxiu get up from half kneeling. Handcuffs hung from the cuffs, dragging the boy by the arms all the way to the side of the road, and handcuffing him to the street lamp.

“You are charged with assaulting the police, and I am detaining you now. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be evidence in court.”

Seeing that Shenxiu spoke indifferently.

“You have been accused of being the perpetrator of Yamada Shoichi’s case. But I don’t doubt that, you are the key surveillance target of the Search Bureau. We saw you in other places the night Yamada Shoichi died, and you have sufficient alibi. “

“……I do not know anything.”

Hearing these words, the boy’s eyes finally brightened. Perhaps it was because of too much roaring in the battle just now, his voice was particularly hoarse, and he said dryly.

“I…was caught, they gave me an injection…then I lost consciousness, and I don’t know what happened afterwards.”

“We’ll do a blood test on you.”

Seeing that Shenxiu was very calm, he didn’t seem to have any resistance to this young man who was about to tear him apart just now.

“I will give you the justice you deserve.”

“……Ah.”

The boy lying on the ground smiled bitterly. No longer trying to say anything, he just lay on the cold floor panting hard. At this moment, there was still rain on the ground, and the boy was lying in the mud, looking at the rolling clouds in the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing that Shenxiu stopped talking, he slowly returned to the road and looked around the surrounding streets.

The battle had indeed been fought for too long, and their battle had spread for several blocks and almost cut across a quarter of Uptown. At this moment, not far in front of him is Motomachi, which is the boundary between the upper city and the business district. From this position, he could even see the familiar bar in the distance—the place where this case started.

The road behind him should have been one of the bustling landmarks in the upper city, but it was already full of devastation due to the fighting along the way. The streets are full of bullet holes and potholes blasted by explosives, and the storefronts on both sides are also full of various holes and gaps. There are still billowing smoke in some places, and fire is still burning in some places.

The battle is over, and the only person standing in the arena shows who is the winner.

In the light of the fire, I saw Shenxiu walking back to the middle of the road. He bent down slightly, stretched out his hand and pulled out the wakizashi who had just stuck him on the ground.

It was really a great sword, and there was a dragon’s cry when it was pulled out.

After doing this, seeing Shenxiu walking slowly and looking back with a sword in his hand, he squinted slightly and looked in the direction of Chaobinai Hotel.

After fighting all the way, their position was far away from the Asahina Grand Hotel. But the chief searcher easily found what he was looking for. Under the blackout, a quarter of the upper city was immersed in the night. Looking back, there was darkness in the range of sight, only the Asahina Hotel was suddenly lit in the night. The light outlines the clear outlines of several people on the terrace. A 17-year-old girl is leaning on the edge of the terrace, her red hair blooming wantonly in the night wind.

Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a bright red demon flower.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and then saw that Shenxiu didn’t stay any longer, turned around and walked far away.

…

“That’s [mimicry] fully awakened and violent.” On the rooftop, Tsubaki Yamauchi was a little silent when he saw this scene.

“He knocked him out without even liberating his true abilities.”

Everyone saw this victory, but no one understood how it came about. The one who attacked him was a mimetic who was completely berserk after being stimulated. It was a weird necromancer, and it was a terrifying existence that ordinary humans could never deal with. He will be used as a trump card to hunt down the search chief, which shows that the person who secretly arranged the attack has enough confidence in this [mimesis] called Nia. Those people have self-confidence, and the berserk Niah is also extremely dangerous for the wishers who have obtained gifts from the mist.

However, from the beginning to the end of this battle, Shenxiu did not use any kind of power beyond common sense. But he won just like that, there was no suspense in winning, and he won simply and neatly. No one believed that Jian Shenxiu was just an ordinary human being. However, the chief inspector did not use any kind of mysterious power to forcefully beat Nia back from a berserk state.

“Miss, can you do it?” Kappa couldn’t help but asked subconsciously.

“…”

Hana Asahina didn’t speak, but just quietly watched the background where the man was gradually going away.

So the Kappa wisely shut up and didn’t ask any further questions.

…

“Om—”

As if announcing the end of everything, there was a muffled sound in the air, and the power supply in the upper city was restored. With the influx of electricity into the entire street from a distance, the lights of each house are gradually turned on, and these lights form a wave, advancing rapidly from west to east.

Seeing Shenxiu walking on the road, the vanguard of the wave of light surged past him, extending all the way in the direction he was going, and finally merged with the sea of ​​light in the distant business district. The neon lights on both sides lit up at the right time, as if the light shrouded the area again.

Even the light seemed to break the silence of Mr. Mou, and the whole world seemed to be noisy in an instant. Markesias returned to Jian Shenxiu’s back at some point, and the hooded boy looked a little shy in the light, put his hat back on, and now followed behind Jian Shenxiu with his head slightly lowered. The sirens of fire trucks and police cars suddenly sounded in the distance, and black cars rushed out from all directions, and then stopped simultaneously with a swish. Dozens of search officers in uniforms of the search bureau got out of the car and lined up in front to wait for the arrival of Shenxiu.

“Report to the Chief Investigator! All members of the first action team are here, and the mutant beasts have been dealt with! All targets have been captured!”

“Report to the chief investigator! The second action team is all here, and the terrorists have been dealt with! All targets have been killed!”

“Report to the chief investigator! All members of the third action team are here, and the bank robbers have been dealt with! The leader is killed! The followers have been arrested!”

“Report to the Chief Inspector! All the members of the fourth action team are here. The prison gaffe has been suppressed and no bloodshed has occurred!”

All the members of the four groups stood in front of Jian Shenxiu. They naturally stood in a straight line, and that line was the boundary between Motomachi and other neighborhoods in Uptown. Because Jian Shenxiu once told them to come to Motomachi for a round after finishing the mission. Now they have arrived here, standing on the border of Motomachi, not crossing it with a single step.

They obviously already knew what happened here just now. Everyone looked at Jian Shenxiu with eager eyes, and a raging fire was burning in their eyes.

Looking at the gazes of the subordinates in front of him, Jian Shenxiu’s eyes showed a hint of eagerness, but it quickly dissipated. He just walked up to these people, and the Zhexi investigator naturally withdrew in an arc to protect him. Then Shenxiu turned around and looked behind them with them, looking at the battlefield behind Shenxiu.

This time, the chief inspector didn’t look at anyone in particular. He just looked at the entire upper city calmly. He knew that there must be countless eyes looking at this place in the dark night. It’s not even limited to here, but also includes the entire Yukimizawa.

[See Shenxiu for what? ]

Why put forward such exaggerated conditions? Why break the old balance? Why should everyone abide by his justice?

The whole Xue Jianze was asking him this question tonight.

This is the answer Jian Shenxiu gave.

“Borrow, borrow, search and grow up!”

Xi Wei walked over from behind the crowd. The girl was the last to arrive, and she was even slightly panting as she squeezed into the crowd. Tonight, she was the one who was in charge of the central government to control the overall situation, and it was she who cut off the electric switch in those few blocks in the upper city at a critical moment.

The young girl squeezed to Jian Shenxiu’s side, looked him up and down anxiously, and was slightly relieved to see that although his clothes were a little tattered, he was still in good spirits. Stabilizing his mind, he handed him a piece of paper respectfully.

“Master Inspector, all the teams have successfully completed their tasks. However, the battle tonight was very destructive. I roughly calculated the economic losses. This is the list.”

“Um.”

Seeing that Shenxiu frowned slightly, he reached out to take the bill and glanced at it. Then he suddenly smiled, lifted the wakizashi in his hand, and stuck the bill on the sword under Xiwei’s astonished gaze. Then it slammed down on the ground.

With a sharp clang, the tip of the sword slammed into the ground with the list. The hilt of the sword vibrated on the ground and groaned softly, as if expressing dissatisfaction with the comrade who had fought side by side just now.

“Don’t worry, tonight’s losses will be paid by big households.”

Jian Shenxiu ignored this dissatisfaction. He just took out the pistol on his waist, pulled the slide to unload the bullets inside one by one. The bullets jumped out of the holster one by one until it was exhausted and no more bullets jumped out.

Then he handed the gun to Marchesias next to him to signal him to keep it, and raised his hand to gesture to everyone.

“One group controls the situation, and the others return to the team.”

“yes!”

Everyone shouted in unison, and a group of men in black turned around and poured into their respective cars. A group split out from it, some went up to detain the boy lying on the ground, and some went up to guide the police car and fire truck beside it roaring past.

In an instant, the scene suddenly became lively, with ambulances, police cars, fire trucks… various sounds and lights flickering. But everyone seems to subconsciously avoid the middle of the road, avoiding the place where the wakizasa is inserted.

Only the sword was left standing alone at the junction of Motomachi and other blocks in the upper city.

It’s like a handful of things stuck in the ground. Completely cut off the connection between Motomachi and the entire upper city.

…

“Go and get that sword back.”

In the silence on the terrace, Asahina Hana finally got up from that leaning position. The red-haired girl didn’t say anything, she stood up lazily, but moved her slender neck slightly. Said casually to the subordinates next to him.

“yes.”

The underworld answered with a bow, then trotted downstairs. Soon someone wearing white gloves, holding the wakizashi respectfully, took the elevator back to the terrace.

“Miss, there is something stuck in the sword.”

“Um?”

Tsubaki Yamauchi next to him took a step forward and took the sword, looked down at the paper again, was stunned for a second, and handed it to Hana Asahina.

“It’s the list of losses for tonight.”

“Did it come out so soon? It seems that the search chief has a good accountant.”

Asahina Hana didn’t even look at the astronomical number on the piece of paper, she just stretched out her hand and turned her head to pick up the wakizasa.

After a fierce battle, this weapon is still as bright as new, and the blade shows no signs of damage. Even at this moment, it seems to be more lustrous than the thing that sent it before. After drinking blood, the demon who has been enshrined in the shrine for many years shows a more excited attitude at this moment.

[Private gift] Gunmi Shenshu stayed, but [Asahina’s gift] sword, he returned it.

The girl looked at the sword with piercing eyes, and sighed casually.

——This is not the result she wanted.

“Let’s sign it, we recognize it.”

“Miss?” Tsubaki Yamauchi was stunned for a second, but immediately understood what she meant. So he sighed and began to sigh with emotion.

“It’s not a small sum.”

“What can I do? It’s a paper bill.” Asahina Hana turned her gaze to her, with a slight hook in the corner of her mouth, and sighed leisurely. Looking at her female consultant with a slight smile, she also seemed helpless.

“Since you lose, you have to admit it. What do you think the chief inspector meant by sticking his sword in the border of Motomachi? Not just what’s on this piece of paper, but also the place where he put his sword in Motomachi. He’s here to ask for an account.”

“Today’s attack, he won, proved what he has, so now he has come to ask us for the account. If we lose, we can only accept this account. There are many losers besides us tonight, those People in the shadows, everyone has to wait for his liquidation. This is the chief searcher who bet with us with his life and won back.”

“Asahina has been pushed to this cusp position by those shadows for too long. They set us up in this position as a target. Now that their operation has failed, can they admit defeat to us?”

The corner of the girl’s mouth hooked slightly.

“And there is no harm in signing it. The truth of tonight will never be told to the world. Sign this piece of paper now, and you can earn a good reputation later.”

“It shouldn’t be us who are in a hurry now. In the chaotic situation where everyone is being coerced by Xue Jianze, such a change has occurred. Such a powerful person has emerged to delineate Xue Jianze. New rules…”

The mood of the Jidao parent didn’t seem to be affected by these huge losses. Even in the eyes of all his subordinates, the seventeen-year-old Jidao emperor looked a little happy, with a slight curvature in the corner of his mouth.

“I’m looking forward to how many surprises his [justice] will bring me next.”
