At the same time.
In the ruins of Cangyang City.
"Heh."
After Irin's expression changed slightly, he stepped on Xiao Thirteen's ancient sword and sank his feet.
Chi!
Yu Meng, who was nailed to the ground, had blood flowing out of the wound as the long sword went deeper into her abdomen. The intense pain made Yu Meng's expression even more ferocious. She had completely lost her usual demeanor.
Cangyang City, located in the southwest of Chidragon, 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 the exit of Earth Net, the surging crowd almost drowned him.
Speaking of which, Irin also learned an interesting thing when he was on Earth Net.
Li Erpang had just come out of the trial and was also arranged by Zhao Yulong 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.
In fact, 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 also willing.
Li Erpang took the initiative to contact him for no other reason than to complain.
What was so hard about going out with his wife to carry out a mission?
Irin couldn't understand.
Well, he couldn't understand.
Looking at the people coming and going in front of him and coming to 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 much.
Yuan Zhiye didn't say anything about the case either.
Yuan Zhiye looked to be in his early thirties, much older than Irin. However, when he spoke to Irin, he did not have any intention of belittling him. His tone was respectful and courteous, which made people feel comfortable listening to him.
"The deputy team leader said that after you take over, you will be the person in charge of this case. Our investigation team and field team will listen to your orders."
"Mm, no problem. Find a time to tell me about it. Some of the 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 to use.
When they arrived at the temporary office of the Cangyang City Police Station, Irin saw the "stubborn captain of the field team" that Yuan Zhiye mentioned. He couldn't help but be stunned.
"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, he even called him brother?
When the others in the room saw this, they were all surprised.
They knew very well what kind of personality this team leader had.
Although he wasn't arrogant and domineering, he had the unique arrogance of an elite from the Special Warfare Department. He didn't give face to anyone.
When he 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 this young official member of the special warfare team would claim kinship 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 leader wasn't easy to get along with.
The slap in the face came so quickly that it caught them off guard. The slap was so loud.
"It's you!"
Irin quickly searched through her memories and remembered who this person was.
— — Wang Bing.
In a certain "no man's land" exploration operation, Wang Bing was also the field team leader. 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 time she spent in the inner world added up 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 the hands of Bi Jiaojiao.
Many of the new apostles didn't understand the strange usage of the "ordinary series" items. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left it in the storage space and allowed Irin to take advantage of it.
Thank you, Bi Jiaojiao!
…
"I didn't think that Brother Ling would be the one to handle this!"
Wang Bing was very excited.
He knew Irin's abilities.
Not only her strange killing methods, Irin's ability to adapt also left a deep impression on Wang Bing.
At the beginning, Wang Bing was still worried that the higher-ups had 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 were reunited. After the excitement, he couldn't help but think of his teammates who died in the no man's land. His eyes flashed with a trace of hidden sadness. 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 was the same as the field team. It was a team of five people.
"Let's talk about the case."
Irin didn't refuse and directly sat in the center position, looking at Yuan Zhiye with a serious 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 strange corpse in a residence in a high-end residential area. "
As Yuan Zhiye spoke, he took out a portable 3D holographic projector and projected the information to the center of the room.
This portable 3D holographic projector was a small invention that Molly came up with in her free time.
"The surface of the corpse was covered with many fine scars. The corpse was in a state of severe dehydration. Other than that, after the forensic autopsy, no other cause of death was found. There should be no doubt about the cause of death. "
In the case file that Irin obtained from Zhao Yulong, there was an autopsy report. Because it involved an "abnormal event," there was no picture.
It only described that the deceased was in a state of severe dehydration, and the cause of death was hemorrhagic shock.
At this time, the lifelike picture of the miserable corpse appeared in the form of a 3D holographic projection in front of everyone. Irin's eyes focused and blurted out, "A mummy?"
"The autopsy report was more professional and ambiguous. Because this autopsy report was the conclusion of an 'ordinary forensic autopsy.' " Yuan Zhiye nodded with a serious expression. No matter how many times he saw the corpse's death, it was enough to give him nightmares.
Irin understood what Yuan Zhiye meant by "ordinary forensic autopsy."
"What about the conclusion that was not ordinary?"
"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 the picture to the next one, 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 actually found the 'murder weapon.' "
Yuan Zhiye personally believed that the word "murder weapon" he used was very vivid and professional.
Irin was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed. "Leeches?"
"That's right, leeches, and a large number of leeches." Yuan Zhiye looked at Yi Lin in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would be able to guess the true identity of the "murder weapon" in just a few minutes before he even said his conclusion.
"In other words, the deceased was' sucked 'into a mummy by countless leeches while they were still alive."
"This is also the reason why this case was handed over to the Special Case Group." Every time Yuan Zhiye imagined that terrifying scene, he felt his scalp go numb. He projected the information of all the deceased on the public screen in the form of a 3D 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 in the room could laugh.
"Are there any similarities between the identities of the eleven deceased?"
"Yes, the only similarity 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 many ideas in his mind, but he didn't know what words to use to describe them.
"Hehe." Irin laughed. "What you're trying 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? It's a little troublesome. "
Irin felt a headache coming on.
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 gotten an assistant."
Irin suddenly regretted rejecting Zhao Yulong's suggestion.
But what was the use of getting a cute rookie to come over?
What he lacked now was an assistant with rich practical experience. Otherwise, how could he slack off?
Just like the current situation.
Conclusion? " While Irin was conflicted, Molly made herself a cup of salted coffee at the speed of light. After drinking a few mouthfuls, she saw that Irin had finally come back to his senses. She smiled. "The conclusion is that there is no conclusion. Although I'm not an expert in this area, it's obvious that this kind of blood composition is not something that current humans can possess.
"If a normal person had this kind of prismatic crystal structure in their blood, they would have died long ago."
It was useless to send Ou Lele over.
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.
"Pan Zhengyi" sniffed the fragrance of the blood, opened his eyes, and grinned.
"I seem to have slept a little too long.
"Hehe, my two stupid brothers … They've caused a lot of trouble."
