The Old Man and the Monster Chapter 6 The Coming Near-God Army

Of course, Hou Yi has seen the standard uniforms of the army, the military uniforms are different from generation to generation, each generation is different, most of them are standard dark green, there are also black of the defenders of the imperial capital and the blue of the garrison of Sanchao City, since the beginning of the empire, there have only been these three colors.

Therefore, when Hou Yi saw this group of soldiers wearing white uniforms entering the door to report their identities, he did not react from surprise for a while.

In Hou Yi's view, the actions of this group of people may indeed carry the decisiveness of the army, but the white color of the uniform makes them look more like a group of doctors or laboratory researchers, only the standard saber hanging from the waist silently reminds everyone of the identity of the owner.

After a group of white-clothed soldiers poured into the house, the already small place became even more cramped, and the last few members of the military team simply stayed in the corridor.

"Hello, Captain Hou. The young man leading the group stepped forward. He had a delicate face, wore a pair of rimless glasses, and was tall and straight, thin but full of strength, like a saber at his waist.

Hou Yi couldn't tell the rank from their uniforms, but everyone's performance showed that the young man was the undisputed core of the team.

"I'm Major of the Garrison of the 7th District, Yushiro. ”

Shiro introduced himself and stretched out a hand to Hou Yi.

Hou Yi was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, he caught the other party's hand, and with a simple touch of it, he found that the opposite hand was amazingly strong.

"You are the garrison of the seventh district, when did the army start meddling in local cases?" Zheng Jialai couldn't hold his breath and raised the question in the hearts of all the police officers present.

Hou Yi didn't stop it, but was also looking at Yushiro, waiting for his explanation.

"Don't get me wrong, the army has no intention of interfering in local affairs, but this case may involve military secrets, and we are the department in the garrison of the 7th District that specializes in such cases. Yushiro waved behind him and explained with a smile.

Hou Yi looked at the team members behind Yushiro, there were a total of twelve soldiers, there were men and women in the team, and the age difference seemed to be very large, but they were all led by Yushiro. And except for Yushiro, the rest of the soldiers have their nostrils facing the sky, obviously not paying attention to the criminal police team around them.

Hou Yi was not very comfortable with the expressions of these soldiers, they and the army are not the same system, each performs its own duties, and no one can hinder anyone. But the expressions of these guys are like the disdain of the aristocratic butler in the novel for the poor peasants, who are exaggerated to the point of showing their status.

However, Hou Yi didn't show anything, although Yan Ju didn't say it explicitly on the phone, the attitude he revealed was enough to make Hou Yi know that this group of people was really qualified to disdain them. He's been working for more than twenty years, and this kind of thing isn't worth his fuss.

Hou Yi nodded, indicating that he accepted the explanation of the young man named Yushiro, and he didn't ask much questions, and immediately introduced the situation to Yushiro simply and clearly.

Yushiro listened to Hou Yi quietly, smiled and thanked him, but did not make any comments in the middle, only occasionally asked questions.

To be honest, Hou Yi was a little disappointed, he didn't see anything special from the experts in Yan Ju's mouth. In the process of communication, the other party has a gentle face, but it is more like a student listening carefully to the teacher's teachings. Coupled with Yushiro's young face, Hou Yi almost wondered if the young master of the imperial capital in front of him was the gold-plated young master of a certain department of the army.

Hou Yi really wanted to ask Yushiro directly what he thought about these three cases, but the other party turned around and nodded to the soldiers behind him.

"If it's not a real coincidence with a very small probability, then this should be our case. Yushiro said.

A few distracted soldiers immediately pulled back their gazes, and the twelve people who originally seemed to be idle and lazy immediately calmed down, and even Hou Yi, who was just approaching, could feel the change in the atmosphere in the air.

"By ...... Major ......" Hou Yi didn't know what to call the other party, he hesitated for a long time, but still chose to use this nondescript title, "In this case, if it's okay, our people will withdraw." ”

"Captain Wait," Yushiro ordered politely but unquestionably, "please have your people take back the cordon, let all the onlookers return to their homes, and tell everyone not to leave for the time being." ”

"Oh, okay. Hou Yi nodded to the Zheng family on the side and motioned for him to arrange.

"Everyone, in pairs, will investigate in different units, visit all households, find out all the families that have had tragic accidents in the past month, especially those who have had conflicts with these three families, cross-compare, lock the target, and then come back to gather and report. ”

The twelve soldiers brought by Shiro tacitly accepted the task and came out silently.

Finding out the suspect with a motive to commit the crime first is the first step in the normal process of solving the case. However, even with the eyes of ordinary people, it can be seen that the key to these three cases is that there is no evidence of the existence of any third party at the scene. The doors and windows of each scene were intact, there were no signs of the bodies being moved, and no suspicious or meaningful evidence or clues were found at the scene. In addition to the fact that no specific cause could be found, it can only be concluded from any way that all three cases were suicides, but they happened to happen in the same neighborhood almost at the same time.

What's more, there are too many places where there may be conflicts between neighbors, and the people of the 7th arrondissement are notoriously foul-tempered. Coupled with the stories of several aunts in the community, it is difficult for even the most seasoned police officers born and raised in the 7th District to distinguish the true from the fake. If you try to find a suspect this way, the end result will either be nothing, or you will be able to find a reinforcement company.

Hou Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, although he still couldn't understand why this matter would be taken over by the military, and he couldn't figure out which part this young man who claimed to be from a special department belonged to, but it seemed that Yan Ju was not looking for an expert, but someone who came to go through the process of gilding.

He was mysterious on the phone, probably afraid that if he said it too clearly, he would show some inappropriate expression.

Hou Yi was cranky, and he was funny in his heart, people really became cautious when they got old. With a certain determination in his own heart, he began to watch with interest as Yushiro lowered his head to examine the corpse.

Hou Yi's mood quickly changed from disdain to surprise.

The other party's expression was calm from beginning to end, and his eyebrows did not tremble, as if he couldn't smell the smell of corpses, which was admired by Hou Yi a little. Coupled with Yushiro's modest and polite performance as a leader just now, Hou Yi probably had a complete conclusion in his heart at this time.

The second generation, with a good family education, has certain ideas and abilities, and is a concubine

Or if you are not the first heir, you need to show yourself in front of your elders to win points, and solving a bizarre murder case will be an excellent way to earn fame and prove his ability.

As for whether it will eventually become something out of nothing and conjure up a few prisoners, it has nothing to do with Hou Yi. He has been a police officer for 20 years, and he knows what can change and what he can't do about it.

The information obtained by the soldiers was quickly summarized in front of Yushiro.

After layers of questioning and comparison, the twelve soldiers brought by Yushiro handed a list to Yushiro, with more than a dozen names written on it, screened layer by layer, and finally gathered into two people.

Someone whispered to Yushiro's side.

"Sir, although the three families are close to each other, they do not know each other, and there is no common contradiction. We asked all the residents about the only two people who had undergone drastic changes in their lives in recent times that could have caused a mental upheaval. ”

"Liu Rui, male, 42 years old, his parents were suddenly involved in a car accident six days ago and died on the spot. ”

"We have already met him and his family just now, because of this incident, Liu Rui has not worked in recent days, and has been negotiating with the police, insurance company and lawyer. ”

"It's not him. Yushiro gently patted the paper full of names in his hand and nodded, "What about the other one?"

"Fang Zhuge, male, 67 years old, joined the rebels 20 years ago. After the surrender, he has been living in the seventh district, without a wife and children, and has been a widow all his life, until he adopted a child seven years ago, and the two of them are called grandchildren. Two weeks ago, my grandson was seriously ill and sought medical treatment without success, and because he was once a rebel and did not have a legal adoption certificate, he was forcibly detained for seven days by the local police for an excuse, resulting in his grandson being left uncared for and dying of starvation at home. ”

"Where's the others?" Yushiro stopped patting.

"I don't know, his house has been checked, and the person is not there. I heard from people who knew him that since his grandson died, Fang Zhuge was like a madman, locking himself in the house all day, not eating or drinking, no one ever saw him come out again, and no one knew when he left. ”

Yushiro slowly folded the paper in his hand and suddenly smiled, "Of course someone has seen him." ”

Hou Yi, who was listening in confusion, couldn't hold back anymore at this time, "Who has seen it?"

"He," Yushiro pointed to Hong's discolored corpse, "they've seen." ”

"How do you know?" Hou Yi shook his head, "Even if this Fang Zhuge really caused his mental state to be extremely unstable because of this incident, and the potential for him to vent his emotional pressure with extreme violence, that can't explain why he was able to commit a crime without leaving any traces." Any surrender of the rebels is bluffing, not to mention that he is an old man who is nearly seventy years old, even the best special forces in the army can't do this, as long as it's a human, it can't be done, unless the ghosts and gods ......"

Hou Yi didn't say any more, because he saw that the soldiers who claimed to be the garrison of the seventh district showed strange expressions one by one when they heard his words.

Hou Yi looked at Yushiro, and Yushiro also looked back at him with a smile. Hou Yi suddenly realized that the logic and observation angle of this group of people are completely different from ordinary people. They didn't seem to care about the victim at all, and they didn't worry that having an out-of-control murderer out there wouldn't cause more casualties, what they cared about was the old man himself.

"You're not here to investigate the case...... You are not the army of the 7th District...... Who the hell are you......" Hou Yi didn't know how to continue.

"Captain Hou, I thought you really wouldn't be curious. Yushiro would squint his eyes when he smiled, and he looked gentle and elegant, but Hou Yi, who had read countless people, saw the frosty coldness in this harmless face. That ruthlessness is not deliberately pretended by ordinary young people, but a decisive killing condensed in the killing field.

Hou Yi suddenly regretted his words.

"It's true that we're not the garrison of the Seventh District, and at your level, if it weren't for this kind of thing, it would probably be at least three or five years before we knew of our existence, so let me introduce myself again," Yushiro said, "Near God Army, Yushiro." ”

The army closest to the gods.
