Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Case of Serial Disappearances
"So what you are saying is that this is all arranged by someone, and Shadow Demon is just a pawn to be used."
"It's obvious." Aidaqi said, slumping her shoulders.
And Lie Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Well, I really didn't expect this first task to be so complicated, but what surprised me even more was that you were so efficient. No wonder you escaped so quickly during the opening ceremony. It turned out you were looking for
The information is gone, so it seems that when I helped you drive away Shadow Demon's little clone, I thought you were angry when you didn't come back all night, but you should go find Shadow Demon to settle the score."
"That's right," Aidaqi said jokingly.
"It seems that you are getting better and better, and your thinking is absolutely correct. You and I are becoming more and more in harmony with each other."
"Hey~ Do you think I want to? If I weren't tied to you, I wouldn't have to do this now. It seems that I have to watch more closely in the future to avoid knowing what you did."
He was no longer surprised by Aidaqi's killing first and then killing Lieyu. He had long thought that Aidaqi must have done something out of sight, but he didn't expect her to be so efficient.
Lie Yu complained about Aidaqi in his heart but did not forget the business, so he put forward a hypothesis:
"Now let's get back to the topic. Your conjecture is not impossible, but it lacks actual evidence. If it's just a coincidence that Song Ya happens to be a student of No. 3 Middle School, wouldn't your theory be invalid?"
"No, I'm sure of this. Of course, I also rule out the possibility that it was a trap set by Shadow Demon himself. However, the origin fragments that appeared on Shadow Demon's body later are even more coincidental and confirm my suspicion."
"Hmm~ Why? According to your father, most of the fragments are concentrated on the earth. Is it difficult for Shadow Demon to find a piece?"
It was only after this incident that Lie Yu knew that the fragments really existed, so he was not very clear about how difficult it was to find the fragments. Even Aidaqi had only found 5 real fragments over the years. For Lie Yu,
Aidaqi could only helplessly shake her head due to her ignorance.
"Hey~ Do you really think the fragments are easy to find? Let's not talk about whether Shadow Demon found the fragments on his own. He was so crazy before he blew himself up that he obviously didn't understand the consequences of directly using the fragments. A guy who pursues the power of fragments can't
Maybe he doesn’t know the consequences of using the fragment’s power rashly, so he can be sure that someone gave this fragment to him for some purpose.”
When Aidaqi said this, Lie Yu finally remembered that when he first came into contact with the fragment, he knew that he would definitely have to deal with it in the future, so he got to know Aidaqi a little bit, and then he realized that the power of the fragment was used by the vice president.
.
When it lends its power to the host, it will also mutilate the host itself, which can be regarded as the price of using its power. Most people have lost their lives because of this. In order to avoid this happening, people who pursue the power of fragments will always think of something.
ways to offset side effects.
But Shadow Demon knew nothing about this, so from this point of view it could be seen that this fragment must have been given to him by someone. Thinking of this, he understood the meaning of Aidaqi's words and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Once is a coincidence, twice is accidental, and the third time, it must be inevitable. Someone is behind it and it is definitely targeting them.
"If someone is really deliberately behind the scenes, then this person must have come to Earth earlier than us and know a lot of inside information about the interstellar prison breakout," Lie Yu guessed.
Ada Qi said, "I thought you had long forgotten the clues Shadow Demon had said, but I guess the guy hiding behind knew what I wanted, and could almost regard his painstaking plan as
He was giving away heads and equipment. He was provoking me and he also knew that I would be able to see through it very quickly, so I guess he only had two choices: either to be directly exposed in front of us or to run away with his tail between his legs."
As she spoke, her smile became more and more unrestrained, and Lie Yu could not help but sigh in his heart. Aidaqi had just begun to review what had happened before, and she had calculated so much just based on intuition and details.
Duo, what an incredible guy, Lie Yu thought, but for some reason he suddenly reached out and pinched Aidaqi's cheek.
Adaqi, who was a little confused, asked, "What are you doing?"
"I think it's time for you to stop."
'it's over'
This is what Lie Yu is thinking now. He doesn't know why he feels that Ada Qi is becoming more and more demonic, and he has to do something to make her stop. So Lie Yu tried the simplest and crudest method, but it was unexpectedly effective.
.
Adaqi was stunned for a moment. After that, she asked Lie Yu to let go of her hand, exhaled and said, "Okay, it's time for me to stop."
Aidaqi's condition finally calmed down, and Lie Yu breathed a sigh of relief. However, the moment of tranquility was soon broken by the push of a message. Aidaqi saw that after reading the message through the electronic goggles, she
Suddenly smiled and said
"The news came from the aftermath team that a member of the aftermath team responsible for the aftermath work in the area was attacked by an unknown person. Although he has escaped from danger, he is still in the hospital."
Only then did Hou Lieyu realize that it was not him who made Aidaqi stop but a piece of unexpected news. He felt a little regretful and knew that the main point of the news was a serious question.
"when"
"Two days ago" As soon as Aidaqi finished speaking, a voice came from the TV, causing both of them to look at the TV.
"Welcome everyone to watch the local news. Here is a quick news. Two days ago, Xie, an ordinary citizen of this city, was attacked by unknown persons on his way home. Although he was out of danger, he was still unconscious in the hospital. The local police believed that Mr. Xie was attacked
The attack may be related to the recent serial disappearances. We have now visited the house for verification. If there is new information, our station will follow up and report... Although it was only for that moment, Aidaqi still recognized Officer Liao Yinan and Liao on the TV.
Figure, it seems this case has reached a dead end.
The task force of the criminal investigation department of the police station fell into silence because of a troublesome case. As the chief of the local police station, Hu Youwei sat in the front seat and sighed as he looked at the investigation team formed for this serial disappearance case. Under tremendous pressure, he
Finally I couldn't hold it any longer.
"The cases I handed over to you have already occurred six times since they were filed, but you have made no progress at all. Look at your efficiency! The people above have already issued a notice. If the case is not closed next week, we will not need to investigate.
!!”
"The higher-ups can no longer hide this bad case. Do you know how much panic it will cause if the public knows about it!! Ah!"
Minister Hu banged the table with his right index finger and reprimanded loudly. Six consecutive cases of malicious disappearances were no small matter. The spread of even slightly unfavorable news could easily cause social panic, because according to current clues, the number of victims is not fixed.
, but now there are no clues at all, how can the case be closed next week. Although this is something that everyone present knows very well, no one dares to tell him. It is already embarrassing enough that there is no clue at all about the case until now.
At this time, Officer Liao, who was the person in charge of this case, stood up and said solemnly, "I'm sorry, as the criminal investigation captain, this case has not made any progress. It is my dereliction of duty. My team members and I will definitely step up the investigation and strive to let the truth come out as soon as possible."
of"
Director Hu looked at Officer Liao. He had calmed down after releasing some anger just now, but he still sighed helplessly.
"Officer Liao, I appreciate your meticulous attitude, but the above only looks at the results. The most I can do is help you get the deadline next week. By then, the case will not be concluded and you will know the consequences."
"Yes, Chief," Officer Liao replied calmly.
"That's it, let's break up the meeting."
Director Hu finally brought this suffocating meeting to an end, and after Director Hu left, Liao Yinan immediately reassigned tasks to the team members.
"Xiao Jinling and Dong Wei, you two are doing an on-site evidence collection, trying to find new clues."
"Yes, captain." Xiao Jinling, a small man, and Dong Wei, who was thin but extremely strong, immediately stood up and walked out. "Xu Zhengnian, you are responsible for sorting out the case and trying to find out what the victims have in common. Xu Wen is responsible for searching the Internet for relevant information."
