With the end of the day's classes, it was time for school to end. Perhaps Fangzheng's warning worked. This time, Kurita Kikyou did not invite Fangzheng to go home with her like before. Instead, she just said goodbye to him and left the school in a hurry.
Some people are susceptible to force but not soft tactics. If you don't teach her a lesson, she will go up to the roof and tear down the tiles. To deal with this kind of person, you have to teach her a good lesson.
"Let's pack up and get ready to go home for dinner...."
While yawning, Fangzheng walked out of the classroom. At that moment, his phone suddenly rang. Fangzheng took out his phone, glanced at the contents of the text message, and frowned.
"Commissioned search? That's strange. "
Looking at the content of the text message, Fangzheng was somewhat surprised. Generally speaking, bounty hunters were responsible for the work of "hounds", which was to arrest criminals after discovering them. However, things like searching were usually left to the public security or the police. After all, their identities were relatively special, so it was not their turn to search for criminals....
Thinking of this, Fangzheng picked up the phone and dialed a number. Soon, a pleasant and calm voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Hello, F, I knew you would contact me."
"What's going on? I don't remember bounty hunters moonlighting as detectives. "
"This is a recommendation from the higher-ups."
The voice obviously understood what Fangzheng meant and quickly gave an explanation.
"During the terrorist attack at the G20 summit, because of your activity, countries have paid more attention to bounty hunters, so the authority of the Bounty Hunter Association has been expanded. This time, it's the Metropolitan Police Office that commissioned you.... It can be regarded as an official commission, funded by us. The reason why the other party appointed you is because of your outstanding performance against the Apostles of the Stars. They really need someone like you who can deal with some.... special existences to assist them. "
My goodness, I still have to deal with it in the end?
"Okay, what commission?"
Fangzheng was a little curious. After all, the other party said that he was appointed because of his battle with the Apostles of the Stars. That is to say.... and the Metropolitan Police Office.... Could it be another crime committed by a superpower user?
"For the details, please go to the Metropolitan Police Department and ask Investigator Shinohara."
"… Alright, I'll go take a look."
With a helpless sigh, Fangzheng hung up the phone and searched for Mei Gan's name in the address book.
There was probably no hope of going back for dinner today.
After that, Fangzheng went to the Metropolitan Police Department and met Investigator Shinohara.
"You are the legendary F? I didn't expect him to be so young. "
The investigator in front of him was about 30 years old, young and strong, and had the temperament of an elite police officer.
"Enough with the pleasantries. Let's get straight to the point. I'm also very curious. Is there anything that you police can't solve that you have to entrust to bounty hunters?"
Fangzheng obviously didn't intend to exchange pleasantries with the other party. The other party nodded and walked out of the room.
"Follow me."
Following Investigator Shinohara into the elevator, the former pressed the floor button, and then the elevator door closed. Until then, Investigator Shinohara said.
"The reason why I asked you to come is because we have encountered a difficult case."
"A difficult case?"
"Yes."
Investigator Shinohara nodded.
"To tell you the truth, more than a year ago, there were many homicides in our jurisdiction. According to the scene investigation, we judged that these cases were committed by the same murderer. But we couldn't figure out the other party's true identity. In fact, we have also strengthened the patrol deployment, but there was no progress. "
"I didn't see the news, was it blocked by the media?"
"Yes."
The police officer sighed.
"Although it's not very good to say this, in Tokyo with a population of 13 million, a few people dying is not a big deal. As long as the news is blocked and not reported by the media, it will not cause turmoil and trouble. "
In this regard, Fangzheng also shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much. He also knew this was the truth. In fact, although the public security in Japan was passable, there were also a lot of missing people every year, and it was unknown how many of these people were still alive. Therefore, if the police wanted to block the news, it was not impossible. In fact, even if it was reported, most of the crime cases would only be hot for a few minutes, unless it was something like releasing poison gas in the subway or killing people randomly at the station, it would be reported continuously.
However, this also made Fangzheng curious. After all, generally speaking, the police rarely blocked the media's coverage of cases, especially the Japanese police. Unless the case was very terrible or easy to cause social panic, they would choose to do so.
And this case would even involve himself ….
"Ding."
The elevator shook slightly and stopped, then the elevator door opened. Fangzheng walked out of the elevator and followed the Investigator to the morgue. And here, a body covered with a white cloth was lying in it.
"This is the victim of another case we found yesterday."
The investigator walked to the side of the corpse and gestured to Fangzheng. Following that, he lifted the white cloth.
The next moment, the whole body was displayed in front of Fangzheng.
"… … The lion in the zoo escaped?"
Looking at the body, Fangzheng's only thought was this.
"I didn't expect you to be able to see through it so quickly."
At this time, the Investigator looked at Fangzheng with a bit of surprise.
"Yes, as you can see, according to the forensic examination, this body has been eaten by some kind of large animal."
"What kind of animal?"
"I don't know. At present, we only know that its bite force is quite strong. It can easily tear a human body apart and gnaw on the flesh. Fortunately, it has never appeared in public, and the corpses we found were basically abandoned in inaccessible places. "
"So you suspect that this is not the work of an animal, but a monster, right?"
Fangzheng suddenly understood why they were looking for him. Logically speaking, an animal that could bite and devour humans would not be small. As long as such a thing appeared on the streets of Tokyo, no matter where it was, it would inevitably cause a commotion. But according to the Investigator, it had killed several people in a row, but it did not attract any attention. This in itself was very strange.
"Although it sounds a little strange, … at present, it seems to be the only possibility."
"I understand."
Fangzheng stared at the wound on the body. After a moment of silence, he nodded.
"I'll try to investigate, but I need all the information about this case. By the way, I can't guarantee that I will be able to find the culprit."
"Of course, no problem."
The Investigator did not seem to expect Fangzheng to suddenly come out of nowhere and catch a monster the next day. After hearing Fangzheng's request, he nodded.
"I'll give you a copy of the information."
When Fangzheng returned home, it was already late at night. Megan, Eve and Lapis had already returned to their rooms to rest. So Fangzheng went straight to his room and opened the door …
"Why are you back so late?"
"Jadeite?"
Looking at the Jadeite standing on the table and looking at him angrily, Fangzheng was stunned for a moment.
"You haven't slept yet?"
"After all, it's already so late. Of course I'm worried."
Facing Fangzheng's question, the Jadeite blushed slightly. She snorted lightly and turned her head away.
"Besides, I'm different from that heartless Red. I care about Master very much."
"Yes, yes, yes … My Jadeite is the most obedient."
Fangzheng said as he sat on the bed. At the same time, he glanced at the box beside him. Red basically went to bed at nine every day. According to her, staying up late was the enemy of beauty …. Hearing this, Fangzheng wanted to ridicule her. How could a wooden puppet know how to take care of her skin? Why don't I give you a wax?
While cursing in his heart, Fangzheng opened the case file brought by the Metropolitan Police Department and carefully read it.
According to the file, this strange murder case started five months ago. Basically, there would be one every month, and each time, one or two people would die. The criminals' main area of activity was concentrated in the bustling urban areas. Most of the victims were unemployed or homeless, and some were even students who ran away from home …. No wonder the Metropolitan Police Department had doubts about this. After all, if it wasn't for the strange killing method, it looked like the work of a human no matter how one looked at it.
They deliberately chose places where strangers came and went to avoid attracting attention. The people who were killed were people who would not attract too much attention even if they went missing. And once a month ….
Could it be that someone raised a monster and brought it out to look for food every month?
"Human, what are you looking at?"
At this moment, Jadeite came over curiously. When she saw the bloody picture in the file, her face instantly turned pale and she backed away.
"W-w-w-what is this!!!"
"This is the file of my job."
Fangzheng closed the file and looked at Jadeite.
"Work? Work? Human, what kind of dangerous job are you doing?! Forget it, you don't lack money! Although I don't know what it is, don't do anything too dangerous! "
"Well, although I don't really want to do it …."
Just as Jadeite said, Fangzheng did not lack money, but what if this case was his next mission? After all, Fangzheng only needed to complete one mission, and he would be able to get Blackie to bring the fleet to support him. When that time came, it would be much more convenient to do other things.
In short, let's wait and see.
