In the evening, after Gu Xing went home, he asked Xiaodong:
"What happened to Yinglang's disappearance? Do you know the inside story?"
[As Hanao Muraoka said...it was a bizarre incident]
"..."
"I would like to know some more details, such as what are the triggering rules of this weird incident? Why is Yinglang targeted by the weird? Will I be tricked? Is there any way to solve it?"
[Please, I am not omniscient and omnipotent. The only thing that is certain is that, as for you, there are currently no rules for triggering it, so it is very safe]
Gu Xing continued to remain skeptical about Xiaodong's words.
…
"Something happened to Ryozo too."
Early the next morning, Gu Xing received a call from Anda again.
This time, Anda's tone was completely gone from the relaxed and lazy tone of the past.
"what happened?"
"According to Ryozo's wife, last night, Ryozo received a text message from the Shiratori Police Department calling everyone to the police station to work overtime to investigate an urgent case. After leaving home, Ryozo lost contact.
The headquarters called for surveillance and saw Ryozo getting into a taxi in the early morning... and then turning into an alley, the taxi disappeared."
Adachi was silent for a while, "You know what's outrageous? The Shiratori Police Department added this morning that he never sent any text messages."
Gu Xing's heart sank - things were getting more and more complicated.
"Something's not quite right,"
Gu Xing said: "Not to mention that the White Bird Police Department will definitely not send such a text message about working overtime in the middle of the night at such a sensitive and dangerous time.
Even if he sent a text message, the assistant named Hanao Muraoka repeatedly emphasized to us that we should try our best not to take a taxi in the early morning. Ryozo is not the kind of person who can't listen to anything at all, why would he still..."
"Come to the police headquarters," Anda said, "Everyone is rushing over there."
When we arrived at the headquarters, our colleagues from the Criminal Division of Jing'an Police Station were all standing in the corridor of the Bizarre Investigation Division, each with a heavier expression than the other.
The Shiratori police officer was arguing with Muraoka Kao, and his angry voice came from Muraoka Kao's office.
"Murago Police Department supplement! I just want to know, we are all veteran detectives who have been handling cases all year round. What confidential things have we never seen? Two of our colleagues died in this bizarre incident. Why should the case files be revised?
Shall we keep it a secret?”
In any case, now in the office building of the superior department, a person like Shiratori Police Department who always attaches great importance to workplace etiquette is forced into this situation, which shows that the situation is extremely bad.
"Feel sorry,"
Kao Muraoka was very calm,
"According to regulations, the case files of bizarre incidents have always been kept confidential, and only our personnel from the Bizarre Investigation Section can access them. If the Bainiao Police Department insists on accessing them, they can submit an application report to the Jing'an Police Station, which will then submit it to the Police Headquarters.
Once the report is approved by the headquarters, our Oddity Investigation Section will implement it."
"Asshole! When the submitted report is approved, will all the people in our criminal department die?"
"Although it's a bit inhumane, that's how the procedure is. I hope you can understand."
Shiratori couldn't bear it anymore and walked out of Hanao Muraoka's office, his face black with anger.
Everyone in the Criminal Division gathered around, "The police department will make up for it...or let's go together..."
"Need not,"
Shiratiao picked up the phone and broadcast it. He leaned forward, lowered his head slightly, and his attitude instantly became more humble.
"Master Sequoia, I am Shiratiao..."
"Yes, I'm sorry for disturbing your rest..."
"That's it...we encountered a situation at the police headquarters..."
"Well, two colleagues have disappeared one after another, Hidero Izawa and Ryozo Negishi... Yes, you also know, it is a series of missing taxi cases... It is currently suspected to be a bizarre incident."
"You have met them. We had several drinks with these two at the last party. Yinglang praised you for being beautiful and elegant. Yes, we all thought so. He was speaking from the bottom of his heart and was definitely not polite.
Sexual politeness.”
"You remembered, yes, Negishi Ryozo also sang "Until the End of the World" with you... Indeed, his voice is excellent... Alas, we are also very sorry. We hope to find them both as soon as possible."
"...Case file? The case file is not willing to be shown to us no matter what..."
"It's true. It's unreasonable to say that the rules are like this and that you have to go through the procedures. I looked at the procedures that the assistant said. It will take at least two or three days to get the approval. But who knows what accidents may happen during this period?"
"Will there be new victims in these three days? No one knows."
"Oh...his name is Hanao Muraoka, and he is Lord Saury's investigator assistant."
"Okay, we are waiting for your news."
Bai Niao hung up the phone and turned around to see Gu Xing and Anda looking at him. He quickly straightened his back and said, "I told you that you must keep in touch with the investigators more often."
Anda nodded repeatedly and flattered him.
After a while, Sequoia arrived at the Oddity Investigation Section wearing a fiery red trench coat. After briefly greeting everyone, he walked straight into Hanao Muraoka's office.
"Lord Red Shirt," Hanao Muraoka stood up immediately, "You are not taking turns..."
"Stop talking nonsense and bring out the case files."
"What case..."
"Don't be pretentious, it's about taxis."
"But... Lord Saury..."
"Let him come out and talk to me."
Soon, Qiu Yuyu was holding a comic book, lowering his head while reading the comic, and walked over. He almost bumped into Hong Shi before he raised his head and said, "What, poisonous tongue, are you going to be put on the case?"
"You're a rotten fish boy. You eat and wait for death every day. Even all the victims are dead and you still read endlessly with this crappy comic? Our department's tolerance for a waste house like you is really scary."
"Wow, I'm liberated,"
Saury looked at Kao Muraoka and said, "Where are the case files? Take them all and don't leave a single piece of paper behind."
Everyone in the Criminal Division outside the door was stunned. It seemed that, at least in the Bizarre Investigation Division, Red Shirt's vicious tongue had been blocked by everyone.
…
While waiting for the case files to arrive, Shiratiao led everyone in the criminal department to thank Sequoia.
Shiratori originally just wanted to ask Sequoia to make a phone call so that everyone could see the case file and learn more about the real situation.
Unexpectedly, Sequoia himself made a special trip to come over.
It is understood that these grotesque investigators usually take turns to deal with grotesque incidents. After a case is closed, they can enjoy a long period of rotation. This is very helpful for the grotesque investigators to adjust their mentality and heal the negative psychological impact caused by the case.
.
Sequoia has sacrificed his precious vacation for the criminal class. What is even more grateful is that Sequoia was directly involved in the investigation of the case this time.
Shiratori vaguely remembers that at the party that day, Tomoko once told everyone that weird investigators usually have a headache when they take on weird cases, because there is a fatal danger hidden behind every case. Who knows what will happen if you are not careful?
The investigator himself will not be involved.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, no investigator will take the initiative to participate in cases that are not part of his rotation. The performance of the red shirt this time can be described as generous.
“I can’t thank you enough!”
Bai Niao bowed slightly towards Hong Shi, "Sir Sequoia's kindness, our colleagues in the Criminal Division of Jing'an Police Department will definitely remember it and repay it in the future!"
Although these words may sound disgusting, they are definitely spoken from the bottom of Shiratori's heart.
He even feels a little guilty now——
He really shouldn't have repeatedly bumped into this beautiful investigator with a straightforward personality and a sense of justice during Fujino's bizarre investigation, and he shouldn't have used alcohol to force the other party to admit that his previous remarks were wrong at a party.
It was so wrong, forcing the other party to bow and apologize to me.
"Yes! You are right, I was wrong!"
The way Hong Shi slammed the table and stood up, then bowed unsteadily and apologized, is still deeply reflected in Bai Niao's mind, as clear as a movie playing on his mobile phone.
In fact, at that time, everyone in the Criminal Division had already clearly seen that Hong Shi's face was completely lost.
Her face turned red from suppressing it, which was definitely not an effect that alcohol alone could produce.
Even so, she still had to force herself to pretend that nothing had happened, that she didn't care, took the microphone from Gu Xing's hand, and continued singing high.
Later, he suddenly ran out in the middle of singing, probably because of this.
Gu Xing came back and told Bai Niao that Hong Shi was drunk, how could it be possible?
For a veteran like Bai Niao who often attends workplace parties, it is obvious that Hong Shit drinks a lot. I can’t say for sure, but the real situation is that at that time, Hong Shit was actually hiding in an unknown corner, suffering alone.
Still sitting.
Sigh... A woman like this who is fragile and soft on the inside but insists on showing herself strong, confident and fearless to the outside world will make men feel extremely distressed.
To be honest, after the second party that day, Shiratiao really wanted to escort Red Shirt home, but he didn't expect that the frogman wearing green skin would be so unable to read the air.
After Shiratiao refused repeatedly, Frogman still insisted on taking him home in a special car, but left the red shirt lying on the sofa pretending to be drunk to Gu Xing.
Gu Xingjun is certainly very good, but Bai Niao knows him too well, and he is probably a piece of cake when it comes to relationships between men and women. When Gu Xing sends Hong Shim home, he will definitely take good care of him, including ice water, quilts, turning off the lights, and being polite.
It would be a waste of money to say goodbye.
well……
"Hypocritical guy...why are you saying these polite words,"
Sequoia didn't expect so many thoughts to come to Shiratiao's mind, and he said carelessly: "After all, we are also partners who sang "The End of the World" together."
The case file of the bizarre taxi incident contained more than twenty boxes and was moved to the conference room and stacked on several tables.
Sequoia took White Bird and the Criminal Division to look through the boxes one by one.
Saury lay on the chair in the last row of the conference room and continued reading comics, as if he had completely handed over the case to Sequoia.
It is said that once the department's reports of delayed case closures come out, Saury is no longer in a hurry. In fact, he may even feel that having such a benign and weird case in his hands is more comfortable than taking on a chaotic and weird case with universal killing rules.
Much more.
"Hey," Anda looked back and asked Gu Xing, "Have you seen clearly what comics that guy is reading?"
"It seems like "Attack on Titan."
Ever since the small hole appeared, Gu Xing's eyesight has gotten better and better.
Glancing back casually, he could clearly see the character portraits and dialogues exposed in the corners of the comics in Qiu Saury's hands.
"I don't care at all and just immerse myself in the world of comics,"
Anda shook his head helplessly,
"It is simply a model of the Heisei abandoned houses in our country. I really don't know how this kind of person became a weird investigator. God is so disgusting.
Yesterday morning, when I came here to be questioned, I passed by and saw the sign for the Bizarre Training Course, so I went in and asked. I wanted to see what it would take for me, an excellent criminal police officer with experience in handling many criminal cases, to become an assistant to a Bizarre Investigator.
condition.
Those guys actually said that I often stay up late, suffer from severe internal exhaustion, and have frighteningly low mental strength. I am already on the verge of sub-health and unhealthy conditions, not far from sudden death, and do not meet the conditions for recruitment. It is simply unreasonable!"
Gu Xing looked at Anda's dark circles and nodded in agreement.
"This series of bizarre taxi cases started half a year ago,"
Saury entered a state of trusteeship, Sequoia intervened strongly, and Hanao Muraoka was not a person who couldn't read the air at all, so he honestly introduced the case to everyone,
"In the past six months, a total of fifty-three people have disappeared after taking late-night taxis. At most, three people disappeared in one night, but only once."
"Is it a family of three?" Gu Xing suddenly asked: "An old man, his son, and his daughter-in-law. They should have come out of the hospital."
It's no wonder that Gu Xing suddenly remembered that the disappearance of this family had always left a deep impression on him.
"Do you know about that case?"
Muraoka Kafu looked at Gu Xing in surprise.
Sequoia and White Bird also looked over.
"I happen to know... Izawa, the first death row inmate who was replaced in the Fujino case, do you still remember it?"
Gu Xing quickly explained: "Jingzawa was sentenced to death because the old man's son reported it.
Don't look at me like that... I'm not that gossipy, I just learned about it when I went through the compensation procedures for Izawa..."
"You're absolutely right,"
Muraoka Hanao continued: "Although the task of solving the bizarre incident is still arduous at present, under the correct leadership and guidance of Mr. Saury,"
When Kao Muraoka said this, he glanced in the direction of the back seat, and Saury turned a page of comics,
"Ahem... Of course, with the great care and support of Mr. Sequoia, we have done a lot of investigation work and found out the relevant background information of almost every missing person, and we have made fruitful progress.
…”
"This kind of shabby flattery has no nutrition at all," Sequoia said, "Just tell me the results!"
"We investigated and found out!"
Kao Muraoka quickly turned up the volume, "The missing persons in this series of taxi cases all have one common characteristic -"
