When the three people from Countermeasures Section 7 arrived, they saw that a lot of people had gathered near the original Fuji billiards store. This store was originally located on a prosperous commercial street, and now the flow of people is even denser.
"Who are those people?" Nishiguchi Ryuken saw them on the shuttle.
"I didn't scan it." A40 looked around with its eye scanner. Most of them carried anti-scanning documents and did not want their details to be detected. Others were civilians, and some even came from dozens of kilometers away. Came from another area outside.
"It would be great if we could return to the era of large-scale surveillance. This small case would be solved instantly. Look at that pole and that rooftop, they are the most suitable for installing cameras." Zi Yangkui got out of the car first and held the camera. Start with a submachine gun in your hand.
"We'd better keep up and let them give the people of the Secret Guard some face. Let's go, Soldier A. Are you good at saying nice things to strangers?" Ryuken Nishiguchi took out his ID from under the console.
"Not good at it." The A40 can only kill people.
"So we have to get together and use our respective strengths, otherwise we will conflict with the citizens in front of us." Ryuken Nishiguchi tried to improve the relationship with A40.
"That would be great." A40 wanted to kill all the onlookers.
"You sound like a cyberpsycho... break the law, the wanted level is escalated, and you will be hunted down by stronger people. Don't you understand? Soldier A?" Nishikochi Ryuken was nervous.
"Then if I defeat and kill those who are chasing me, I will become stronger and stronger, and then I can become the world's number one master. That's great." A40 said.
Ryuken Nishiguchi realized that this "Soldier A" was more terrifying than he imagined.
He hurriedly stepped off the shuttle and showed the citizens the ID of the Nisto Company Secret Service, signaling that his side would take over the situation.
"Can you kill the rats?"
"The rat men are so scary..."
"Seven people died here!"
"We have to find a way to prevent the rat men from getting into our area."
"Play a role! Nisto Company!" the citizens shouted.
Ziyangkui invited them into the billiards shop. Due to a murder, the business here was interrupted, but there were still many people present, especially the private room where the dead man was. Now it was full of Internet celebrities, live broadcasters and media figures, almost blocking the camera. There were blood stains on it.
The employees of the billiards shop were sitting behind the bar doing nothing and did not dare to interfere with the murder scene.
"Hello, viewers, this is the Blue Sky Express. You can see that this is the place where the rat men launched their attack..."
"Ah, family! Now we are at the place where the Rat Man killed people. I have been there in person. This is the Yuanteng Billiards Shop. Brothers who used to fly to the Yuanteng Billiards Shop before, you can take a walk. Look. Look at this blood stain, look at this table cue..."
"...According to reports from nearby citizens, there were swarms of rat-men last night. Several of them sneaked into the Yuanteng billiards shop and killed seven people in the private room. Look at the blood stains everywhere... how terrifying !”
There is a lot of talk and noisy, and this place has been occupied by various media and live-action collectors who are seeking novelty and differentiation.
Ziyangkui stood at the corner and looked at the scene, looking back at the West Exit Ryuken and A40, with a wry smile.
"Nothing can be found through this investigation." Zi Yangkui shook his head.
"Even if there were clues, they were destroyed by so many people." Ryuken Nishiguchi planned to go to the staff of the billiards shop to check the surveillance video first.
All the other private rooms were closed, and only the door of the murder scene was open, as if the shop owner couldn't stop these evildoers.
A40 used its own metal body to squeeze in and forcefully entered the private room where the murder occurred. Others tried to fight it, but they couldn't fight against A40's electric motor.
After entering the private room, A40 saw a standard-sized green table in the center, with a fully automatic table tennis machine hanging above it. Bloodstains were spattered on the ground, but it had been trampled beyond recognition by footprints, as if people found it interesting to step on the bloodstains.
It looked at the enthusiastic crowd around it. This was not a major event, but they came to investigate with unexpected enthusiasm. Is it to attract attention and make money? A40 didn't quite understand why they were like this. They only knew that they were delaying things.
.
If it hadn't been for Nishikou Ryuken calling it from a corridor away, A40 would have been ready to try out the knife with a few relatively strong men inside. Now that it heard the noise, it squeezed back to discuss with Nishikou Ryuken.
"Any clues?" A40 asked.
"The surveillance video only captured the entrance and exit. Three black-haired rats did squeeze in one hour before the incident. They were not seen leaving. They may have gone another way." Ryuken Nishiguchi sent the file to A40.
The A40 opens its head to facilitate heat dissipation, and then starts reading the video.
Sure enough, it saw two black-haired rats that were very eye-catching during the Aizu rat plague. They were about 1.7 to 1.9 meters in height and much stronger than ordinary people. In one-on-one situations, they could easily kill multiple humans, even if they were
Humans with a small amount of modification may not be able to defeat the black-haired giant rat.
Behind the two black-haired rats there is a taller rat-man, which needs to bend down to squeeze through the merchant door of the billiards shop.
"I understand." A40 understood.
"What?" Ryuken Nishiguchi was curious. Soldier A seemed to be smart.
"Do you remember the rat witch from the rat plague in Aizu Castle?" A40 asked.
"I remember - it was mentioned in the news that she climbed to the top of the Shenkong Building to be interviewed by the media. I was just a police academy student at the time, and this matter was specially taught to us as internal material." Nishikochi Ryuken's memory is clear.
"She started making trouble again. She used her own power to strengthen an extremely ferocious super giant rat man. How could a normal rat man become that big?" A40 understood.
"And the boss is very strange." Nishiguchi Ryuken nodded, "The boss of the billiards shop has never shown up. He said he would come back in the afternoon. When he comes back, he will ride a motorcycle."
"I still have clues." A40 told Nishiguchi Ryuken, "——There was no fight in that room just now."
"What do you mean?" Nishikou Ryuken was confused.
"There were no traces of resistance. Those seven people were killed undefended."
"How do you know? Can you scan it? It's so chaotic there..." Nishikochi Ryuken was confused.
"intuition."
"How can a synthetic human have intuition?" Nishikochi Ryuken said subconsciously.
"I just have it." A40 is not good at explaining things. It raised its alloy sword. "They didn't have a chance to fight to the death. They just died, maybe due to a sneak attack. The battle ended very quickly, in a few seconds."
He was killed inside. Or there was no battle at all.”
Ziyangkui walked around outside the Yuanteng billiards shop and took photos of various areas.
"There are indeed a series of very large mouse footprints at the back door." Photos taken by Zi Yangkui confirmed the news.
While they were talking, other members of the media also came forward to visit.
“I would like to ask if this incident was caused by the Rat Man?” a newspaper reporter asked.
"Nothing has been decided yet." Nishiguchi Ryuken made a gesture of no comment, and then took A40 and Zi Yangkui back to the shuttle to wait for the billiards shop owner to return.
Ziyangkui ordered takeout for them, and they consumed two large boxes of burritos and an energy battery.
"Destroy the Skaven!"
"We need to catch all the rat people and drive them away!"
"That's so outrageous!" pointed the angry citizens around. They live in this community and are very angry about this.
Members of the local Nisto community also issued a notice to Countermeasures Section 7, asking them to resolve the situation as soon as possible. The pressure was great, so Miying gave Countermeasures Section 7 three days of reconnaissance time.
"I used to be on an equal footing with Miying, but now I'm under her orders." A40 was dissatisfied when he saw the new time limit requirement on the mission briefing.
"Look - the owner of the billiards shop is back. The employees told me about him." Nishiguchi Ryuken saw a stylish black motorcycle drive to the entrance of the billiards shop, and a man got off the motorcycle.
The owner of the original Fuji billiards shop, Joichi Nakai, is a tall, thin, bald man, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a gloomy look.
"Owner of the original Fuji billiards shop? We are from Countermeasures Section 7. Let's go over there and talk." Nishiguchi Ryuken stopped him and took him to the shuttle.
The boss didn't resist. He entered the shuttle and sat in his original position as if he was resigned to his fate.
"Everything you say will be recorded and recorded." Nishiguchi Ryuken turned on the recording device.
"I've already explained it to the media, people from TV stations, overseas media, and some detective agencies and news agencies. I've said it many times, and you'll know it when you see this. I won't change my words." Shop owner Nakai said.
With a gloomy expression, Joichi took out a separation chip from behind his ear and handed it to Ryuken Nishiguchi.
Nishiguchi Ryuken checks the chip.
According to the store manager's report, there have been sightings of rat men in the nearby area. As early as November last year, rat men were seen crawling in the snow, and a large number of footprints often appeared.
Their existence threatens the store manager's safety, and occasionally scares the nearby idle residents. It seems that they have a grudge with one of them, and they directly sneaked into the store to kill people the day before yesterday, with extremely cruel methods.
"The seven people who died were all golfers for many years. Their jobs were not very legitimate. They often took on manual labor jobs nearby, such as picking up garbage, doing sneaky things, and they would fight and scare people.
That kind of little Karami... It's the same from the past to the present. Five of them have been in Nisto prison for a while. They also complained to me that they saw rat men. Maybe they threw stones at rat men.
Maybe they were heard scolding the Rat Man, and then the Rat Man sent revenge and killed people in my store." Store manager Joichi Nakai explained to them.
"Have you ever seen that kind of extraordinarily tall rat man? It's terrifyingly big?" A40 asked.
"Yes, I have seen those very tall ones, as tall as trucks, wandering around late at night. They didn't kill people at that time." Store manager Joichi Nakai explained.
"when?"
"Two or three weeks ago, it must not have been here long."
"Where is the body of the deceased?" Nishikochi Ryuken asked.
"..." Store manager Joichi Nakai frowned.
"What? Hidden by you? We have always been surprised that seven people died, but the bodies were missing." Nishikou Ryuken asked.
"Don't you know?" Store manager Joichi Nakai sneered, "Aren't the various departments of Nisto Company very familiar with each other? Like communicating with each other or something?"
"What do you mean?" Nishikou Ryuken was confused.
"I just went to deal with this matter and close the final payment. Then I listened to them, don't make the matter a big deal, and settle it quietly, and then I met you. So it's not the same?" Store manager Nakai Joichi sighed.
"You sold the body? To whom? How dare you do such a thing? For the organs?" Zi Yangkui was shocked.
"Nisto Scientific Research Department, all seven corpses were bought by Nisto Scientific Research Department." Nakai Joichi said.
