Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk - third chapter

In the eyes of Jian Shenxiu, the rescued little girl was stunned for a while, then wiped her eyes obediently, and then the first thing she came to her senses was——

“Wow–!”

Just slumped on the ground, crying loudly.

The cry was so sudden, so loud and piercing that it scared the guard of Marchesias. It seemed that the surrounding fog was frightened a little, and the little girl’s voice echoed in the whole space. cries.

“this……”

Seeing this scene, even Jian Shenxiu frowned subconsciously, and then, as if thinking of something, he turned his head and looked at Marchesias next to him.

“Do you have candy there? Just stuff the girl with a piece of chocolate at this time.”

“No.” The assistant was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head. “There is no regular chocolate in the combat box, but there are a few morphine needles. As for myself…”

Embarrassment and embarrassment suddenly appeared on the boy’s face.

“Mr. Xiu, sugar production is a heavily polluting industry. The Navi government has imposed restrictions on sugar production, and the current sugar… is a bit expensive.”

“…Then there is no other way, it’s the only way to go.” The Chief Inspector said with a frown. So he squatted down, held the girl’s face in his hands, and forced her to look directly into his eyes.

“Listen, don’t cry, be quiet.”

There was a cold red light in his eyes, with a sharp edge that seemed to pierce into people’s minds.

“…”

As a result, the girl’s cry really became quieter. She was stunned for a few seconds, her face still had clear fear, but she seemed to have suddenly changed her personality, blinking her tear-filled eyes and looking at Jian Shenxiu.

“very good.”

Jian Shenxiu got up, took a paper towel and wiped away the tears stained on the gloves.

He accidentally met Kosaka Ryoko while recovering the victim, but he chose not to take the girl back the same way.

In fact, it can’t return. After entering the fog, all modern technologies are unable to provide positioning, and can only rely on a pure sense of direction to identify the location. So even with a map, he can’t tell his exact location, he can only tell the approximate direction.

The interior of these old streets and alleys in the lower city is intricate, and the detailed internal structure may only be explained clearly by the [Yuedu Group] who is a local snake. In the previous agreement, the public security of the lower city was allocated to them, but the authority of the Search Bureau was higher than that of the Metropolitan Police Department, and it had independent investigation rights. In this case, even if you see Shenxiu, you can’t tell the path back to the original path, so it’s better to go to the end according to the plan.

“After getting dressed, stand where you are, close your eyes and don’t move, don’t look at anything.” After seeing her put on her coat, Jian Shenxiu said indifferently.

“Xias, you stay here with her, and give her the hem of your clothes. If something happens, immediately lead her forward through the fog, and leave me alone.”

“Yes, Mr. Xiu.” Markesias nodded, and stretched out his hand to the girl next to him. Kosaka Ryoko was stunned, and subconsciously raised her hand according to what Jian Shenxiu said, hung on the corner of the clothes, and closed her eyes obediently. Maybe it was because of the stencil of the NAVI city hall, or maybe the strong unquestionable meaning in this man’s words, Kosaka Ryoko subconsciously chose to obey.

As a result, Kosaka Ryoko’s vision was once again covered by darkness, which made her hand holding the corner of Marchesia’s clothes tremble subconsciously. The extremely low visibility in the fog was not completely absent. The action of closing her eyes made her fall into a trap. into deeper darkness.

“very good.”

Then she heard Jian Shenxiu’s comment. After saying this comment, the man didn’t continue to stay beside them, but turned his head and walked to a nearby place. From the sound of his footsteps, he seemed to have walked not far away. , walking back and forth somewhere nearby, as if observing something.

“This is the scene of the crime.” Then she heard Jian Shenxiu’s voice coming from the front, as if she was talking to the hooded boy next to her. “Mark our location on the map.”

“Yes.” Liangzi could feel the hooded boy next to her move, obviously performing the task assigned by Jian Shenxiu.

“This scene…”

Then the footsteps of the man named Jian Shenxiu stopped abruptly, as if he saw something that surprised him, and there was a hint of shock in his voice.

“It has been damaged to such an extent… What is the report from the forensic center?”

“They deduced that the victim, Shangichi Yamada, was attacked by some kind of large beast.” The hooded boy flipped through the glowing tablet in his hand and gave such an answer.

“They found extremely long hair at the scene, and now the hair has been sent to the biology laboratory of Yukimizawa University of Science for specific analysis. The forensic doctor gave a rough judgment based on the length of the hair, and the victim Yamada Shangichi’s biological The body length should be a large cat, with a body length of more than two meters, a black body, a weight of more than 200 kilograms, and a bite force of more than 350 kilograms.”

“Is it all for the uncapped category of ‘above’? It sounds like a liger or something, but the ecology of Grady Island does not have this kind of wild big cats. And the sea transportation of the entrance and exit is early. Cut off by the Mist four years ago.”

Seeing that Shenxiu’s footsteps in front became slower, it seemed that he was moving through the complex environment and didn’t want to step on some dirty things.

“Go back and ask Xi Wei to contact the Archives Bureau. I need the customs entry and exit information left over from that year. At present, the possibility that this case is man-made cannot be ruled out.”

“Can’t rule out the possibility of man-made?” The hooded boy was a little surprised.

“The forensic doctor determined that the time of death of the victim was around 3:15 in the morning, which is the current time. There should be fog all over here yesterday. Do you think someone brought a liger into the fog and killed someone? But for such a big target, they should There is no way to get past layers of monitoring.”

“You and I can come in, why can’t others come in? As for monitoring, there is always a way.” Jian Shenxiu replied casually in front of him.

“Moreover, the victim disappeared from surveillance at 2:47, and died around 3:30. It looked very compact, but his body was only discovered at 6 pm. This may not be the first scene, it can be a complete murder Afterwards, the corpse will be thrown here after dawn and the fog dissipates.”

“Maybe some people know that there is fog at night here, so they deliberately dumped the corpse here, just to disturb the sight and hearing.” Jian Shenxiu said with a frown.

“Remember, in any case, the possibility of homicide can never be simply ignored. Even the most treacherous case, there are always people’s push behind it.”

“Yes.” The hooded boy nodded his head.

“Get out, we can’t gather any more information here.”

After a while, seeing the sound of Shenxiu’s footsteps gradually approaching, he seemed to be walking back from the front again, Kosaka Ryoko could even feel the slight heat from him gradually approaching.

“ah.”

Then the little girl suddenly exclaimed, and she was hugged up all of a sudden, she subconsciously opened her eyes, and what came into her eyes was Jian Shenxiu’s indifferent face.

It was a man with a particularly pale complexion, with a pair of rather rare red eyes. From Ryoko’s point of view, it seems that the chief inspector is unexpectedly young, and seems to be only in his twenties, but there is a mountain-like calmness and oppression in the cold red eyes that is completely incompatible with his age.

“Close your eyes.”

After seeing the little girl’s eye opening movement, Shenxiu frowned obviously, and lowered his head to glance at her slightly.

“Don’t look at the shards of glass on the floor. Don’t look in any of the mirrors. We’ll prioritize your safety and we’ll get you out next.”

The girl froze for a moment when she heard the words, and only after being hugged did she feel the pain from her feet. Her slippers had already been lost at some point, and her feet were scratched by the gravel on the ground with many fine wounds. At this moment, they were stained with dust and were faintly oozing blood.

Jian Shenxiu picked her up after seeing this.

“What was that just now?” The little girl who was startled by Jian Shenxiu’s tone curled up slightly. She is only a little over 1.3 meters tall, and seeing Shenxiu’s coat put on her at this moment can wrap her whole body in it. The girl’s weight seemed extraordinarily light. Seeing Shenxiu holding her in his arms, she was as thin as a feather.

“At the scene of the crime, the body of a middle-aged man was found here yesterday.” Jian Shenxiu said calmly.

“I heard you call Dad, but the victim doesn’t have a daughter, it’s obviously not your father. It’s unlikely that he has an illegitimate daughter as old as you at his age, so you can rest assured.”

“Oh.” The little girl who realized that she had caused trouble nodded quickly, and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the word “corpse”.

“If you were to talk about what you encountered.” Jian Shenxiu’s words paused.

“I don’t know what’s inside the mirror, but what affects you is only the pollen on the side of the road, and it’s being packaged and put in Xias’s bag.” Jian Shenxiu replied casually.

“Probably due to the influence of the mist to alienate the plants, the pollen has hallucinogenic effects.”

“Plants?” Kosaka Ryoko turned her head to look at Marchesia’s satchel next to her, and looked at the satchel that was vibrating violently back and forth at the moment and made a rattling sound, as if it contained a violent beast. The girl’s expression She looked a little pale, and repeated her question again.

“plant?”

“Of course it’s a plant. No animal can maintain such a vigorous vitality after being smashed to pieces by bullets.” Jian Shenxiu’s answer was still very casual, and he didn’t even bother to look down at her when he was speaking.

“It may require a strong alkali to deal with it. We dug it up and took it back to the laboratory for processing. You can rest assured that this kind of thing is in the hands of the search bureau. It won’t have a chance to affect you again. You can sleep when you go back. Have a good night’s sleep.”

Is this consolation?

The girl was slightly stunned, and the content of the words seemed to be comforting her as a law enforcer, but it was hard to hear any comfort from the tone, the voice was so indifferent that steel would turn white when heard Frost.

“If there are no other questions, I also have questions to ask you…why are you here?”

Seeing Shenxiu didn’t give her a chance to hesitate, and said directly.

“The Metropolitan Police Department has set up cordons and roadblocks outside, and you crossed those to come in. Why did you come in? Why did you come here? What is the purpose of coming?”

Seeing that Shenxiu didn’t bow his head even once when he was speaking, but there was no pause between the questions. She obviously didn’t look at her, but she felt that every question was thrown on her with a sharp gaze, and she seemed to be holding her in her arms. There is a heavy pressure from Mount Tai.

“I… I’m here to find Dad.”

However, seeing Shenxiu’s surprise, the girl answered obediently, except for being startled by his tone, she hardly hesitated.

“Daddy hasn’t come home today. I was worried about Daddy, so I came out to look for him.” The little girl said softly. “I didn’t see the cordon when I came, so I got in without knowing how.”

“By the way, Dad!” The girl seemed to realize the purpose of her going out when she said this, and her tone immediately became anxious. “Uncle Investigator! Can you help me find my father? My father doesn’t know where he is.”

“Wait for that question first. I don’t know why I came in? Does it mean that I was affected by the pollen before I saw the cordon?” Jian Shenxiu frowned, then turned to look at Markesias next to him .

“Tomorrow during the day, let the people from the Metropolitan Police Department pull the cordon outside again.”

“Yes, Mr. Xiu.” Markesias, who was in charge of the cutoff, nodded, indicating that he had received the order.

“As for you talking about looking for Dad…”

Seeing Shenxiu’s voice suddenly paused, his footsteps stopped, and there was a sudden coldness in his voice.

“Perhaps there is no need to look for it.”

“Why?”

The girl froze for a moment, then opened her eyes.

I don’t know when they have already walked out of the fog. The first thing the girl saw when she opened her eyes was the starlight. She turned her eyes and looked around. After passing through the fog, they seemed to have walked into a certain park, surrounded by wide walkways and circles. Carefully arranged flowers and shrubs.

The reason Jian Shenxiu stopped was because at this moment a middle-aged man in a suit and shirt who looked like a programmer was standing opposite them, watching the little girl in Jian Shenxiu’s arms with a clear expression on his face. The color of anxiety.

“Father! Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

The moment she saw that man, the little girl seemed to have found her backbone, and suddenly cried “Wow”, she wanted to jump out of Jian Shenxiu’s arms, and wanted to rush to find him.

“Liangzi!”

The middle-aged man also showed anxiety, and ran all the way over, almost “snatching” and hugged his daughter back from Jian Shenxiu’s hand.

“Are you okay? Ryoko? Are you okay? No…”

It took more than ten seconds for this father-daughter reunion scene to drive people away. The middle-aged man finally realized that he wanted to look at the people around him. Immediately stiffened.

At that moment, the man’s expression was as if he saw a ghost, and his face that was originally excited and bloody turned pale as if the blood had faded away. The sweat suddenly overflowed from his forehead, and he subconsciously hugged his daughter tightly in his arms and curled up. . It’s like wanting to take his daughter away from an abyss.

“I…this…you…xi…”

The words of gratitude that had already flowed to his mouth seemed to be stuck in his mouth at this moment, and he couldn’t say anything. The man faltered, his voice trembling. He was just muttering something in his mouth, and he could vaguely distinguish the syllables that seemed to be the word “thank you”, which seemed inaudible amidst the girl’s non-stop crying.

“Give me back my clothes,”

Jian Shenxiu didn’t show any reaction to this. The search chief just stretched out his hand calmly, took off his trench coat from Ryoko Kosaka’s body from the man’s arms, and then threw it to Marchesias next to him.

“Go back and do the laundry for me.”

This was the only thing Jian Shenxiu said after seeing the father and daughter.

“Thank you, thank you.” The programmer-looking man hugged the girl and said gratefully. When he spoke, he cowered and lowered his head, not even daring to meet Shenxiu’s eyes.

“…”

Seeing that Shenxiu ignored the two people behind him and threw the clothes to Markesias, he turned around directly. The search bureau car that they had originally parked at the entrance of the bar appeared as a ghost on the side of the road in the park. Seeing that Shenxiu was leading Markesias and walking directly there, there was no pause in his steps. .

Tens of seconds later, the two walked to the front of the car and opened the door, and got in with Marquesias.

The driver at the moment was actually a girl with short purple hair, but wearing the same search bureau uniform as Jian Shenxiu and Markesias.

“Xi Wei, inform the victim Yamada Shoichi where he works, and I will go there to investigate the situation after they get to work.”

Seeing Shenxiu sitting in the back seat, he said to the girl who was acting as the driver.

“You will also take someone to visit the victim’s ex-wife tomorrow. He has a divorce experience. Go there and see if there are any clues.”

“Yes.” The girl named Xi Wei nodded and started the car quickly.

Then the engine let out a low roar, and drove towards the city. Seeing Shenxiu looking out the window, he suddenly let out a very light exclamation.

“Soon…it’s going to rain.”
