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

After the search bureau announced the press conference in the afternoon, the crowded crowd downstairs finally dispersed. But those people just left for a while, waiting to come back at the appointed time.

During the whole morning, the search bureau kept visiting various places and returning from various places. Those investigators in black walked here in silence, all bowing their heads silently like ghosts in the daytime. No one spoke loudly in the entire hall of the investigation bureau, only the sound of footsteps kept ringing.

“The people from Fanxing Pharmaceuticals shirked and didn’t see the person involved.”

“The procuratorate said that the man asked for leave and didn’t come to work today.”

“The monthly reading group said that today is a working day, and their young lady went to school. She didn’t leave a message about these things before leaving, and they will discuss it when they come back.”

“The Asahi group had someone send over the signed bill, which was a huge sum of money. But the people who came here just said they didn’t know about the Motomachi, and we couldn’t meet the head of the family.”

“Spider group…”

There is a tacit understanding between all parties, or it was negotiated. All of them are procrastinating for time.

On the 50th floor of the Venus Tower, as one after another the messengers came out of the search chief’s office, the atmosphere in the search bureau hall became more and more oppressive. The inspector general’s office in the corner did not make any sound from beginning to end, but it seemed that everyone felt the tight pressure, and everyone acted as quietly as possible to avoid making excessive noise, as if they were worried about offending what.

However, in the office, Jian Shenxiu was not as furious as many people imagined. He stood on the edge of the office, overlooking half of Yukimizawa through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the Chief Inspector’s office.

He just frowned slightly, lost in thought.

People from all sides showed a very ambiguous attitude. It’s not denying the outcome of last night, but delaying. That gesture was not proactive, not deliberately provoking him, but simply procrastinating, waiting for something.

It was clear that the outcome had been decided, but the opponent was still waiting for the situation to change, as if he had predicted that something would happen. And they felt that this incident would change the situation, so they kept silent at the moment.

This made Jian Shenxiu fall into deep thought. His fingers rested lightly on the window sill and tapped, each tap seemed to represent an idea, and then it was rejected in the next tap.

No one knew what he was thinking, all the investigators who entered this office just walked up to him and whispered, then gently put down the documents on their hands and led the door out. Even Marchesias didn’t disturb his thoughts, he stood silently in the corner of the office, as quiet as a black sculpture.

The boy in the hood hasn’t changed since he participated in the battle last night. He is still the same as before, and he is very good at keeping quiet.

“Is there something I’m missing?”

The man said softly, turned from the window, and returned to the table.

“…”

At the moment, there was only Marchesias in the office. He heard Jian Shenxiu’s question, but he didn’t make a sound. The hooded boy knew that the words were not intended for him, but only saw Shenxiu talking to himself.

The search chief began to reorganize the case file from last night, looking for possible clues in it.

The mutant beasts that the first team went to investigate were some animals affected by the mist, all of them had been killed, and the remains had been disposed of.

See Shenxiu flipping through the file. He wasn’t worried about the handling of the mutant beasts. The animals would have some weird abilities under the influence of the mysterious energy in the mist. There are many examples of people being shot dead and then revived to injure others. But the first team is the Bureau’s experts, and they’re experienced in dealing with this stuff.

In fact, judging from the case file report, the degree of mutation of those mutant beasts was not very deep, and did not cause much trouble to the first team. From the perspective of hindsight, these mutant beasts are most likely not naturally produced, but man-made. Those mutated beasts were deliberately placed there, but in fact they just wanted to slow down the first group. Buy time for those desperadoes in the upper city to kill and see the gods.

In the dark of Xue Jianze, someone is studying mysterious power! Those mutant beasts are just by-products. This should be an astonishing secret to the world, but Jian Shenxiu was not surprised by it. In fact, he already knew about this situation. He is the chief investigator, and there are very few secrets in Navi that he doesn’t know. He even knows the name of the department that studies those mysterious forces. Someone from the other party had appeared at the banquet last night, so it was not surprising that such a mutant beast appeared in the killing round.

He originally thought about the possibility that the other party would directly use mutant beasts to hunt him down. But the opponent’s final choice was to use the mutant beast to feint to attract firepower.

Seeing that Shenxiu read the report for a long time, he finally confirmed that there was nothing missing, so he put it down. Picked up a second report.

The second is the report of violent terrorists. These violent terrorists ransacked the armory of the Xuejian Ze High-tech Zone, and then split into two groups. One way to attack and kill to see Shenxiu, and the other way to fight the second team of the Search Bureau in place.

The result was that they were all killed.

After seeing Shenxiu read it once, he shook his head and closed the file.

Then came the third report…

The fourth report…

Seeing Shenxiu’s frown deepened, he went through all four reports, and there was nothing wrong with what happened last night.

So what is he missing?

“Owner.”

At this moment, Marchesias, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. The boy trotted over from the corner and whispered to Jian Shenxiu.

“The press conference has started, do you want to broadcast it?”

“Yeah.” Jian Shenxiu thought for a while and nodded.

These journalists are instigated by people behind the scenes, and maybe the issues they focus on will reveal something.

So the hooded boy turned on the projector and projected the video on the wall. The press conference had already begun. The young female search officer was standing behind the podium, facing questions from the crowd of long guns and short guns and reporters below.

“The Combat Search Bureau found in the urban area last night did not release any video or information, and closed the case directly. Regarding this, is it in compliance with the regulations?”

“Completely complies with the regulations. The evidence of this case is sufficient and the content is detailed. The investigation results of the case will be announced on the official website of the Metropolitan Police Department after sorting out. You are welcome to check it out at that time.”

“Is the cause of the riot in the high-tech zone investigated? What is the result of the case? Can it be announced?”

“The 172 people involved in the case have all been brought to justice. Let me emphasize that the purpose of the Search Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department has always been very clear. In the face of the violent terrorists who launched the attack, we directly killed them without asking the reason. I hope that all parties will follow suit As a warning, don’t trigger morality and law.”

It was a very young girl, but she didn’t seem shy when facing the reporters. He was graceful on the podium and calmly accepted the questions.

“…”

Seeing that Shenxiu didn’t speak, he just leaned back slightly on the chair, silently listening to the reporters’ questions, narrowing his eyes slightly, looking for clues.

Then suddenly, when he heard a question, his eyes froze.

“Why hasn’t there been any announcement about the dismemberment case that happened in Xiacheng District three days ago? How far has the investigation by the Search Bureau progressed? Has the murderer been found?”

The dismemberment case three days ago…was Yamada Shoichi’s case.

The beginning of this series of events, the “fuse” of this investigation.

Seeing that Shenxiu stretched out his hand, he took out a report from a pile of reports on the table, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

That’s it, he suddenly reacted.

It’s not that it was overlooked, it’s that it wasn’t connected before.

It was the only case he had open so far, and it involved fog and weirdness.

The other party was waiting for the case to be concluded, and felt that he might have an accident during the investigation of the case.

If he died, then of course it was over.

“…”

The other party actually harbored such expectations?

Seeing that Shenxiu didn’t know what to say for a while, it was a kind of contempt, and it felt like being ridiculed. But the long-term experience made him subconsciously feel that something was wrong, and his brows frowned slightly.

All missions involving fog and weirdness should not be underestimated. Those mysterious forces that cannot be explained by technology, Yukimizawa knows little about them so far, and every mission is extremely dangerous. The other party would think this way…does he have any other understanding of this case?

“Master Inspector.”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the office, and an investigator came in from the outside and said this to Jian Shenxiu.

“The mimic caught yesterday said he has something to say to you.”

“Huh?” Jian Shenxiu’s expression moved slightly.

“Did he say anything about it?”

“No.” The person who came in shook his head. “He said he only told you one person.”

“Just tell me one person?”

Seeing Shenxiu chewing on this sentence, he suddenly laughed.

“It turns out that the breaking point is here.”
