Cangyang City was located in the southwest of Chidragon. It was a third-tier ancient city.
It wasn't big, but it wasn't small either.
The exit of Earth Net was located near the pedestrian street.
When Irin left Earth Net's exit, the crowd almost drowned him.
Speaking of which, Irin also learned something interesting when he was on Earth Net.
Li Erpang had just come out of the trial, and Zhao Yulong had arranged for him to carry out a mission elsewhere.
It was said that Fatso's assistant was his wife, Su Xiaosu.
This was really what it meant when a husband and wife worked together. It was awesome.
Actually, Zhao Yulong was even more awesome.
He only needed to send a salary to Li Erpang and bring Su Xiaosu along.
Buy one get one free. It was a good deal.
And Su Xiaosu was willing to do it too.
Li Erpang had taken the initiative to contact him for no other reason than to complain.
What was so hard about going out on a mission with his wife?
Irin couldn't understand.
Well, he couldn't understand.
Looking at the people coming and going in this unfamiliar city, Irin dialed the number that Zhao Yulong had given him in advance.
A few minutes later.
A man wearing black-rimmed glasses and dressed inconspicuously came up to him.
"I'm Yuan Zhiye. May I ask if you're …"
"Irin."
The two of them briefly confirmed each other's identities.
In the crowd, Irin didn't ask too many questions.
Yuan Zhiye didn't say anything about the case either.
Yuan Zhiye looked to be in his early thirties, much older than Irin. But when he spoke to Irin, he didn't mean to look down on him at all. His tone was respectful and polite, and it was very comfortable to listen to.
"The deputy team leader said that you'll be in charge of this case after you take over. Our investigation team and field team will listen to your orders."
"Well, no problem. Find a time to talk to me. Some information might not be so clear in the documents. "
"Of course." Yuan Zhiye smiled, but then lowered his voice and said, "I don't mean to gossip, but leader, you do look a little too young. There's nothing wrong with the investigation team that I'm in charge of, but the field team … their captain is a little stubborn and not easy to get along with. "
"It's okay. I'm a kind person. I can get along with anyone."
Irin was afraid that Yuan Zhiye would not believe him, so he smiled kindly.
Under Yuan Zhiye's lead, Irin arrived at the temporary stronghold.
Although it was called a stronghold, it wasn't actually that secretive.
The Cangyang City Police Station had already arranged a temporary office for Yuan Zhiye and the others.
When they arrived at the temporary office of the Cangyang City Police Station, Irin was stunned when she saw the "slightly stubborn field team captain" that Yuan Zhiye had mentioned.
"Ling, Brother Ling!"
A young man with a strong physique and a crew cut was excited the moment he saw Irin. He held Irin's hand tightly.
Oh my god, she's even calling me Big Brother?
When the others in the room saw this, they were all shocked.
They knew very well what kind of personality this small team captain had.
Although he wasn't arrogant and domineering, he had the arrogance unique to the elite of the Special Warfare Department. He didn't give face to anyone.
When they first came here, the Cangyang City Police Station's chief, Liao Jianbai, was mercilessly scolded by Wang Bing because of his negligence in the case.
No one would have thought that such a young official member of the Special Warfare Department would claim to be a relative the moment he arrived.
But he doesn't look as old as you!
The others had strange expressions on their faces.
So did Yuan Zhiye.
Not long ago, he said that the field team captain wasn't easy to get along with.
The slap in the face came so quickly that it caught them off guard. It was so loud.
"It's you!"
Irin quickly searched her memory and remembered who this person was.
— — Wang Bing.
In a certain "no man's land" exploration operation, Wang Bing was also the field team captain. In that operation, because the enemy forces hired the apostle Bi Jiaojiao to assassinate everyone in the "gray fog", it led to the complete annihilation of the field team led by Wang Bing except for him.
Actually, in the real world, that incident happened less than half a year ago.
But to Irin, the experience in the inner world, adding up the time inside and outside, seemed to be a very long time ago.
Speaking of which, the "ordinary banana skin" that allowed Irin to overcome crisis after crisis came from Bi Jiaojiao's hands.
Many of the new apostles didn't know the strange usage of the "ordinary series" items. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left it in the storage space and let Irin take advantage of it.
Thank you, Bi Jiaojiao!
…
"I didn't expect Big Brother Ling to handle this matter!"
Wang Bing was very excited.
He knew Irin's abilities.
Not only the strange killing methods, Irin's adaptability also left a deep impression on Wang Bing.
At first, Wang Bing was still worried that the higher-ups sent a newcomer to handle this case.
But once he saw Irin, Wang Bing instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
This matter was settled, settled!
"En, no choice, the team doesn't have enough people."
Irin said the truth.
Wang Bing and Irin reunited, after the excitement, he couldn't help but think of his teammates who died in the no man's land, a trace of hidden sadness flashed in his eyes. But this trace of sadness came and went as quickly as it came. After a few simple greetings, Irin didn't say any more nonsense and went straight to the point.
There were no outsiders at the scene.
The investigation team, like the field team, was a team of five people.
"Tell me about the case."
Irin didn't refuse and sat directly in the center position, looking at Yuan Zhiye with a sullen face.
"Ahem." Yuan Zhiye coughed twice and began to tell the whole story.
"The whole thing started a month ago. A month ago, the local police in Cangyang City found a strangely dead body in a residence in a high-end residential area. "
As Yuan Zhiye spoke, he took out a portable three-dimensional holographic projector and projected the information to the center of the room.
This portable three-dimensional holographic projector was a small invention that Molly tinkered with in her spare time.
"The surface of the body was covered with many fine scars, and the body was in a state of severe dehydration. In addition, after the forensic autopsy, no other cause of death was found, so the cause of death should be clear. "
In the case file that Irin obtained from Zhao Yulong, there was an autopsy report, because it involved an "abnormal event", so there was no attached picture.
It only described that the deceased was in a state of severe dehydration, and the cause of death was hemorrhagic shock.
At this moment, the lifelike picture of the miserable corpse was projected in the form of a three-dimensional holographic projection in front of everyone. Irin's gaze froze, and she blurted out, "A mummy?"
"The autopsy report's statement was more professional and ambiguous. Because this autopsy report was the conclusion of an 'ordinary forensic doctor'. " Yuan Zhiye nodded solemnly. No matter how many times he saw the way the corpse died, it was enough to give him nightmares.
Irin understood what Yuan Zhiye meant by "ordinary forensic doctor".
"What about the unusual conclusion?"
"According to further examination and inference, the dense scars on the surface of the mummy were most likely caused by a creature's mouthpart."
"Mouthpart?" Irin was stunned.
"It means the mouth," Wang Bing interrupted innocently.
Yuan Zhiye quickly switched to the next picture, took a deep breath, and continued.
"Based on the investigation of the scene, there was a large amount of mucus secreted by mollusks everywhere in the deceased's home. By comparing the composition of the mucus and the shape of the mouthpart, we have actually preliminarily found the 'murder weapon.' "
Yuan Zhiye personally believed that the term "murder weapon" he used was very vivid and professional.
Irin was silent for a moment, then she suddenly laughed. "Leeches?"
"That's right, leeches, and a large number of leeches." Yuan Zhiye looked at Irin in surprise. He didn't expect her to guess the true identity of the "murder weapon" in just a few minutes before he even said the conclusion.
"In other words, the deceased was' sucked 'into a mummy by countless leeches."
"This is also the reason why this case was handed over to the Special Case Group." Every time Yuan Zhiye imagined the terrifying scene, he felt his scalp tingle. He projected the information of all the deceased on the public screen in the form of a three-dimensional slide and said, "In the past month, eleven deceased people have died from the attacks of the leech army."
The term "leech army" was slightly humorous, but no one present could laugh.
"Are there any commonalities between the identities of the eleven deceased people?"
"Yes, the only thing in common is that the prey chosen by the leech army are all people who live alone. Their age and gender are very random, giving people the feeling that … "Yuan Zhiye had been under investigation for almost a month. He had a lot of ideas in his mind, but he didn't know what words to use to describe them.
"Haha." Irin laughed. "What you want to say is that the common point of the deceased is more like … easy prey?"
"Yes."
"What about the range?"
"The entire Cangyang City."
"The ability to control leeches? And the range is so large? This is a little troublesome. "
Irin had a headache.
As expected, cases that could not be solved by Zhao Yulong at the end were not easy to deal with.
Although the investigation team and the field team led by Yuan Zhiye and Wang Bing were all departments under the Special Case Group, they were still ordinary people. Even if they usually came into contact with a lot of "abnormal events," if they really had to deal with it, in the end, this matter still fell on Irin's head.
"If I had known, I would have found an assistant."
Irin suddenly regretted rejecting Zhao Yulong's suggestion.
But what was the use of sending a cute rookie over?
What he lacked now was an assistant with rich combat experience. Otherwise, how could he slack off?
Just like the current situation.
It was useless to send Ou Lele over.
"Wait, blood sucking?"
After being surprised for a moment, Irin shook his head helplessly.
To a certain extent, that guy's divination was quite accurate.
After weighing the pros and cons, Irin quickly sent a message to Gu Tianqing.
Gu Tianqing's reply was only three words: Coming immediately!
After contacting Gu Tianqing, Irin was not in a hurry.
"When did the last victim die?"
"The night before yesterday, at about 21: 00, they were found by the neighbor."
Yuan Zhiye saw that Irin quickly got into work mode. His eyes lit up, and he told him the information he had personally investigated.
After that, Irin said in a low voice, "Understood, I'll go check it out myself tonight. There are some things that I'm slightly concerned about. "
After leaving the police station, Irin left alone.
"The weather is good tonight."
Irin squinted his eyes, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and smiled.
