In the battle just now, three of the four enemies were killed and one escaped.
Seeing several people gathered together, Vera said in a solemn tone:
"We did an amazing thing! We fought an amazing battle!"
"There are four enemies. We killed two orange-level contractors, one white-level contractor, and escaped with one red-level contractor."
The Water Controller and the Demon are at Orange level, the white coat is at White level, and the escaping shadow is at Red level...
With this configuration, the strength is already close to that of the Punisher's six people and one cat.
Except for the main force, Captain Vera, who was slightly injured and Aubrey suffered from collapse, Rebecca and Uncle Cat were only slightly affected, and a few others were almost unscathed;
This victory is almost perfect.
You should know that although there are three more Punishers than opponents, they include unpredictable, Uncle Cat and Douglas who have little fighting ability.
Having witnessed the contractor's battle for the first time, Mobi looked at the Inspectorate uniform under his windbreaker. There were only two shallow scratches left on his chest, which did not even scratch his clothes. He felt a numb feeling of joy in his heart...
If not for this "tough" uniform;
If the shadow stabbed the unshielded neck with a "dagger"...it's a bit unthinkable.
Strength must be improved as soon as possible
After pondering for a few seconds, Mu Zhi regained his divergent thoughts and said to Vera and the others: "The shadow that escaped is someone who knows us!"
"I read his mind and I'm sure he knows us!"
"It's a pity... I subconsciously said 'you know us' at that time, which is equivalent to paying the price and ending the contract ability. I didn't get to hear more information to confirm my identity." Mo Zhi said with some annoyance.
Vera smiled at Mo Cai and said comfortingly: "But fortunately you paid the price. If he escaped first, how would you pay the price?"
Well...that's right. Only then did Mozhu realize another danger that he hadn't noticed just now.
If this person ran away first, wouldn't he be unable to pay the price... The price is that the other party must hear the "truth"!
This is equivalent to waiting for death or turning into a spirit puppet.
You're still not cautious enough, the newcomer...Mou Bo couldn't help but shudder.
"A shadow-type red-level contractor..." Luo Qing said stiffly: "Is it the ghost Yuan Ming?"
"It should be him!" Uncle Cat nodded firmly, and the hair on his forehead was deeply twisted into the character Sichuan:
"Knowing us, the contract ability of shadow type, and it is red level... The contractor registered in Hot Spring City is also a ghost."
"Isn't Yuan Ming the Silver Hand? Why is he with these murderers?"
After reasoning along the lines of thought, everyone present immediately came to an astonishing fact...
As the Queen of Silver, the security inspector Yuan Ming was the murderer of Li Gang and Mills Federo?
At the scene of Mills Federo's murder, the Sheriff's Department received the report first and asked Yuan Ming to lead people to cordon off the scene.
This is equivalent to the security officer himself being a murderer!
Instead, he also killed Li Gang, the deputy director of the Public Security Department!
The logic is a bit confusing...
"Can Yuan Ming be arrested?" Luo Qing asked in a stiffer tone.
"I just played against him and it was a draw..." After saying that, he emphasized again.
He has a mysterious hostility towards "Ghost Shadow" and has never told anyone the reason for his hostility towards Yuan Ming.
"I'm afraid not!" Vera sighed: "He is now an inspector of the Public Security Department. If he is arrested publicly, there will be trouble..."
"Furthermore, the speculation about the shadow's identity just now is just speculation."
"We have no evidence!"
This is a bit like the original investigation of Sheriff Pence Rodman. If he could be arrested and interrogated directly, there would be no need to ask for help in the secret investigation.
The confirmation that the shadow just now was that of Yuan Ming was just a guess based on the unpredictable reading of the other party's mind. There is no direct evidence...
The Punisher belongs to Pandora;
The Sheriff's Department is federally owned;
Direct arrest is equivalent to Pandora arresting official personnel without any evidence. There will be a lot of trouble in the future. Several people present as official personnel know this very well.
The only way to do this is through secret investigation, just like how we investigated Pence Rodman...but the original method is probably also difficult to replicate on Yuan Ming——
Pence Rodman is just an ordinary person and can be controlled through contract ability; Yuan Ming is a contractor, so he will be more vigilant, and his anti-reconnaissance and combat capabilities are not weak...
Take just now, if he wants to escape, no one among the seven people present can stop him.
For a moment, the bottleneck of the matter suddenly silenced several people present...
Unpredictable thought quickly for a few seconds and looked at Vera:
"The first question we need to determine is...did Yuan Ming participate in the killing of Mills Federo and Li Gang? If he personally participated..."
"You can try using the search ruler!"
Vera's sea-blue eyes lit up, and she immediately understood the unpredictable logic.
The four murderers in front of us were found through a search ruler;
At this time, the three murderers are dead, and the search ruler will no longer point to these three people. If the search ruler is still used to search for the murderer, it will eventually point to the escaped Yuan Ming.
If it points to Yuan Ming, this in itself is evidence!
You can immediately follow the direction of the search ruler to search for Yuan Ming and capture him directly.
Even if the Public Security Department inquires in the future, there is a legitimate reason for the arrest.
Without any hesitation, Vera once again placed the search ruler on Li Gang's body remains to provide talisman sources for the contracted items.
Vera's orange-level strength is not greatly affected by the search ruler. It can be said to be minimal.
However, the result was quite unexpected.
The horizontal arm of the search ruler wanders around and ultimately has no fixed direction.
"This shows that the three people who committed the crime were the three we killed, and Yuan Ming did not personally participate..." Mo Zhi stared at the search ruler, frowning and said:
"Yuan Ming is probably just a contact, informant, or main messenger when he is with them, depending on his motives."
"The problem is complicated... What is Yuan Ming's motive for doing this?"
"No matter what, the investigation must be carried out. Find a way to continue investigating Yuan Ming." Luo Qing's voice was slurred and he muttered insistently.
"Of course we need to investigate... But first, let's report tonight's situation! Let's see what Pandora's upper management means." Vera nodded towards Luo Qing:
"Stop talking and pay the price with peace of mind... How are the rest of you paying the price?"
Uncle Cat nodded indifferently. It was the easiest for him to pay the price. He had already squatted on the ground to finish it... However, he didn't know which small piece of memory he had lost;
Rebecca remained silent, waving her hand to indicate that she was fine and not to worry;
Douglas said that he could only pay the price after returning to the city.
Seeing Luo Qing leaning on the stone motionless, Vera explained: "Luo Qing's original sin is ALS, and the price is that he cannot move for a period of time after using the contract ability. The length of time... depends on the degree of use of the ability."
"This time it will take about an hour, and there is still 40 minutes left."
The ability is that the body turns into smoke, and the price is that the body loses its ability to move... The ability and price are a weird logical combination.
Luo Qing moved his stiff facial muscles, trying to make a self-deprecating smile, and his mouth leaked:
"So when I go on a mission, it's best to have teammates with me...otherwise I won't have the means to defend myself for a while after using the contract...ability."
"If you face the enemy alone, once defeated, the only result will be death..."
After the body turns into smoke, it will gradually be troubled by the original sin "ALS", and the body will gradually lose its ability to move, unless it remains in a static state for a period of time... If you cannot kill the opponent during the stage of using the contract ability, you will definitely be killed.
Kill the opponent.
Vera patted his immobile shoulder and signaled him to stop talking: "Fortunately, we won this time...I will always be by your side to help you!"
This sentence is very ambiguous...
The unpredictable people who knew the inside story were stunned at the same time.
Is he responding to Luo Qing's secret love?
Luo Qing's eyes widened, and his stiff facial muscles distorted his ecstatic expression, which was both exaggerated and ferocious. Not even ALS could stop his face from turning red.
Red and purple!
Aubrey Bacon, who didn't know the "industry", was confused about Luo Qing's changes. He thought everyone was surprised at Luo Qing's price, so he laughed and said:
"My price is easier to pay."
After saying that, he reached out and touched the smooth and discernible top of his head. The straw hat he was wearing had long ago fallen into place.
Touching the few remaining temples, Aubrey suddenly pulled out a few hairs:
"The original sin is alopecia, and the price is losing a few hairs..."
Except for Luo Qing, who was still in ecstatic excitement, the other four people and one cat had black lines on their heads...
With your remaining hair...the price can be easily paid?
I'm afraid that before long, you will say goodbye to your contract ability completely.
Mozhi lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, then asked tentatively: "Captain Aubrey, can hair just be hair? There is also leg hair, armpit hair, and..."
Aubrey Bacon gave an unpredictable look with a strange expression and stated seriously:
"Only the hair is left."
…
While Luo Qing was still paying the price, Vera contacted the Inspectorate.
If there is such a big commotion, the Supervisory Office must be involved in handling it.
Not long after, several cars arrived with inspectors and cordoned off the ruins.
Before the corpses of the three contractors were sealed, Mo Bu saw the precipitated Source Stone...
The source stone, which is like a gem, slowly takes shape at the heart of the corpse, suspended without gravity, and is crystal clear.
The man who transformed into a demon had two orange-level Origin Stones, three red-level Origin Stones and three white-level Origin Stones precipitated from his chest...
Eight Source Stones!
Just like a knocked down monster in the game, the "big explosion" that drops the source stone.
Before the Origin Stones from the other two corpses could be seen clearly, Vera had already completed the encapsulation and put all the Origin Stones into Pandora's standard iron box... The corpses were brought back by the inspectors to verify their identities.
According to regulations, the Origin Stone must be turned over to Pandora...
Mozhi has no way to complain about this.
Subsequent matters were handled by the ordinary inspectors on the second floor of the Inspection Office, and Vera immediately drove everyone back.
In any case, the two cases have made some progress...
