Outside Tano's house.
"Muto sensei, then, then I'll go home."
Irin smiled and looked at Tano Chie. He rubbed Tano Chie's hair and said, "Chie Chan, is there something that makes you unhappy?"
"I …"
Tano Chie's slightly pale lips trembled slightly.
After Irin ended the call with Zhao Yulong, his expression was indifferent as he thought about what he saw and heard in the Research Division an hour ago.
He didn't expect that the Research Division's S area was doing such research.
No wonder after the Xiao family was destroyed, there was no more news about the Gospel Association.
Yu Meng.
Zhao Yulong.
Special group.
Invincible.
One name after another flashed through Irin's mind.
Mo Rendi shouldn't know about this.
But why did Zhao Yulong hide it from Mo Rendi?
Was it because if Mo Rendi found out, Zhao Yulong would also be killed with a punch?
The future that Irin was about to experience seemed to be moving in a direction that Irin felt completely unfamiliar after Xiao Yang's death.
Everything had changed.
Not just everything around him.
And this world.
Irin suddenly remembered Uranus's words:
"Since you don't have any concept of the future, then it's meaningless for you to ask this question."
Yes,
It was meaningless.
Wait.
Irin's heart suddenly moved.
It seemed that in the vague conversation between Yu Meng and Zhao Yulong, other than the secrets hidden in S area, they also mentioned one more thing.
— "Document D4516."
"It seems that there are more and more troublesome things."
In the darkness, Irin's eyes flickered as he muttered in a low voice.
After leaving the capital, Irin directly used reverse teleportation to return to Cangyang City from Molly's laboratory without alerting anyone.
Before leaving, Irin quietly put the USB flash drive with the information about "star steel" under Molly's pillow.
However, after what happened tonight, the ownership of the Star Steel seemed to have become less important.
While talking to Zhao Yulong.
Irin was not lying. What he said was the truth.
He had indeed used his fastest speed to arrive at the residence of the last victim.
No matter what, in order to not arouse Zhao Yulong's suspicion, he had to find a way to solve the Leech Army Serial Murder Case in Cangyang City.
If he really couldn't solve it, he would think about it again.
Irin had no idea what was going on in Area S of the Research Division's D4 level, so she could only put it aside for the time being.
Irin took a deep breath.
Yu Meng's current strength was just as he had guessed. She had already broken through the first layer of the Spiritual Lock and reached the Transcendent Realm.
The "psychokinesis" that he casually displayed was proof of that.
Once the Mind Lock was unlocked, "Mind" would no longer be formless and colorless. Instead, it would evolve into a kind of substantial power.
Without saying a word, Irin waved his hand in the air, and the camera that was facing Gao Chengwen's house slowly moved to another angle.
After avoiding the camera's line of sight, Irin easily entered the victim's house.
Originally, Irin, as an "official", had full authority to enter the scene to investigate through normal procedures. However, because he was in too much of a hurry, Irin was too lazy to ask Yuan Zhiye to apply for the relevant procedures. He came here to take a look first. Otherwise, if he did not match Zhao Yulong's statement, he would inevitably be suspected by Zhao Yulong.
The moment he entered the house, the AI's welcoming voice sounded. Soft lights lit up one after another, and classical music drifted out.
Before ventilating, Irin clearly smelled a strange and unpleasant stench in the air.
Because in addition to the removal of the body, the scene was still the same as before the death and had not been cleaned up.
Twenty minutes later.
Irin had searched the whole house and found many small details that were omitted in the report.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Suddenly.
There was a knock on the door.
Irin stretched out his sensory tentacles. When he learned that there was a guest outside the door, he just smiled and opened the door without hesitation.
The moment the door was opened.
A tall and thin man stood quietly in the darkness.
The man was wearing a pitch-black suit with a shirt inside. The top two buttons were casually unbuttoned. His slightly curled bangs covered his eyebrows and cast a dark shadow above his eyes. He was even wearing thin black gloves on his hands. It was obvious that he had come prepared.
"Irin?"
"Gu Tianqing?"
With just a look, the two of them confirmed each other's identities.
This was the first time Irin and Gu Tianqing met in reality after the trial in the Caribbean Sea.
And during that trial, he was in a special "role-playing" mode. Irin had never seen Gu Tianqing in person, but the fake smile on the man's face and the faint cold light in his eyes made Irin quickly confirm Gu Tianqing's identity.
Similarly.
To Gu Tianqing, Irin existed in the role of "Elisabeth Ling" in that trial. But with just one look, Gu Tianqing also confirmed Irin's identity. There was even no need for an introduction or any more words.
At this moment, the two men, who had schemed against each other during the trial, had a rare telepathic connection. They had the same idea.
"This fake smile that doesn't feel out of place, it's definitely him. There's no mistake."
…
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
There was a hidden meaning in the smile.
Gu Tianqing stood at the door and smiled elegantly. "Don't you mean to say 'please come in'?"
"It's up to you whether you want to come in or not."
Irin directly turned around and gave Gu Tianqing the cold back of his head.
"…"
Gu Tianqing's smile froze.
He still went in.
It didn't matter whether he invited her in or not.
Gu Tianqing was just saying it casually.
She didn't expect Irin to not give her face.
"Let's make it clear, you owe me a big favor."
Irin emphasized seriously.
Gu Tianqing chuckled and didn't deny or admit it. She smoothly changed the topic. "My divination wasn't wrong. The thing I'm looking for is indeed on the 'friend at sea'."
"I can only say that it's not necessarily true."
After Gu Tianqing entered the room, she searched around as fast as she could.
Irin's eyes flashed.
The route that Gu Tianqing searched was almost exactly the same as his.
If he didn't see it with his own eyes, Irin would even suspect that Gu Tianqing had secretly read the top-secret information of the Special Forces.
"You're very skilled."
After a moment of surprise, Irin shook his head helplessly.
From a certain point of view, that fellow'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: I'll be there immediately!
Once the Spirit Lock was unlocked, the "spirit" was no longer invisible and colorless, but evolved into a substantial force.
"It's just so-so."
Gu Tianqing had just come out of the bathroom. While answering Irin, she frowned and kept rubbing the thumb and index finger of her right hand. Some fine powder rustled down from the glove she was rubbing.
After a moment of silence, Gu Tianqing looked into Irin's eyes and smiled. "You're really not going to provide any information?"
"Oh, the deceased, male, Gao Chengwen, 35 years old, working in a canned food company, ordinary staff, single, living alone. This is also the eleventh victim. "
"Death?"
Irin flicked his finger, and a photo that he had developed in advance swept toward Gu Tianqing.
The photo was a photo of the deceased.
It was a top-secret kind.
Gu Tianqing squinted slightly and hid the light in her eyes. She stared at the photo in her hand and pondered for a moment. Then she slowly exhaled. "Interesting."
"At first, after investigating the scene, I wasn't too sure. But after seeing the photo with my own eyes, I have a certain degree of certainty."
"Tell me."
Gu Tianqing walked to the bedroom of the deceased and pointed to the corner near the window.
"The location and posture of the deceased have been outlined by the police. There is no problem. It should be there." Gu Tianqing walked forward and said as she walked, "It can be seen that the deceased was in a very strong state of fear before he died."
Irin continued, "Yes, the design of this kind of window is the safety structure of an anti-falling building. There is no way to jump down. On the edge of the window, there are traces of friction. The traces are very fresh. It should have happened before the death. There are faint bloodstains on the edge of the window. It should have been caused by the fingers accidentally pinching when the window was shaken. "
Gu Tianqing smiled. "When humans are in extreme fear, they will always subconsciously look for the place that makes them feel the most secure. In this enclosed room, there are only two places that make the deceased feel the most secure. One is here, the deceased's bedroom, and the other is … "
"The only exit," Irin quickly said.
After a moment of silence, Gu Tianqing continued to analyze. "But under normal circumstances, when a person is facing a crisis, even if they are extremely panicked, the first thing they will think of is the exit. They will not lock themselves in the bedroom."
Irin: "There is only one possibility. The location where he was and the exit were blocked."
Gu Tianqing waved the photo of the deceased in her hand and smiled. "Let's talk about the cause of death. This kind of 'mummified' corpse can only be caused by the rapid loss of water in the body, including blood, in a very short period of time. It is hard to imagine that the dense wounds on the deceased's body were caused by a 'human'. It is more like a creature. "
"Leeches." Irin did not keep them in suspense and directly stated her speculation.
"As expected." Gu Tianqing's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded without any surprise on her face. "This place is located in the south, and the climate is warm and humid. Although this is not a farming area, and it is not the season for leeches to breed yet, everything makes sense if we consider the 'unusual' factors."
"In conclusion, when the deceased was alone at home, there was a large number of leeches, an unimaginable number, enough to make the deceased's scalp tingle. This leech army was blocking the 'deceased' and the 'exit,' so the deceased could only lock himself in the room and ask for help. "
"But before the deceased died, the police did not receive any distress signal." Gu Tianqing walked to the bedroom door and closed it. Then, she bent down to check the gap between the door and the ground. Without pausing, she continued, "Let's say that the deceased thought that this bedroom door was enough to stop the leeches, but it failed in the end. This means that the time interval between the deceased closing the door and the leech army breaking through the door was very short, so short that the deceased had no time to ask for help. "
"This also means that these leeches are like someone secretly commanding them. If it is a pure soft-bodied creature, it is impossible to have this kind of discipline. They can even change their form and quickly enter the gap that is less than 0.5cm. That scene is a bit disgusting. "
The two of them spoke one after another, clearly reproducing the various experiences of the deceased before his death.
As they spoke, Irin and Gu Tianqing walked out of the deceased's bedroom one after another.
Gu Tianqing smiled and said, "Combining these simple clues, I think you should already know how the leeches invaded here."
"Yes, the sewer."
Irin pointed in the direction of the bathroom and said softly.
This is not difficult.
He turned his head, his eyes were blank, and a hoarse voice squeezed out from between his teeth.
"It hurts … Ha … Ha …"
"Okay."
"It hurts."
"Ah-"
