Midtown, Central Park.

As the favorite park of the residents of Mercer, it does have an exaggerated footprint, and it is really in the center of the city, except for the far away district of Lachi, the rest of the area can be directly entered into the park without any transit.

And within the park, there are also paths to several large districts.

Tang Qi and Stana entered the park from the middle of the city, which happened to be the eastern area of the park, and the environment here was better than other areas, after all, it was a special area for the rich, quiet and quiet, and it was indeed the most ideal place for night running.

However, as the number of homicides continues to occur during this time, the number of night runners is rapidly decreasing. Either change to go to the gym, or simply quit this habit, I believe the latter is more, after all, exercise is still very tiring.

The two soon arrived at the scene, a swamp, walked through the fresh air boulevard, and suddenly came to a swampy area with a pungent smell, and Tang Qi and Stana were a little uncomfortable.

Under the guidance of a police detective, Tang Qi soon saw where the body was found.

At the edge of the swamp, there was a small pothole, the black sludge had been propped up, the sewage had poured into it, and some pus could be seen on the surface of the water and weeds, which did not look like the biological grease had melted, but like the body fluids of some kind of creature.

There was no dragging or any signs of a fight at the scene, and the pain of the victim's death was not painful, but there should be no resistance to it.

After observing silently for a while, Tang Qi didn't find any clues, and was about to shake his head at Stanna, who looked expectant.

But at this moment, Tang Qi seemed to have swept something out of the corner of his eyes.

Walking a few steps, I silently squatted on the edge of the hole, and finally saw clearly.

That, it was a few mosquitoes, it seemed to have been flattened, fell into the sludge, some were fragmented, and one or two were intact, they were different from ordinary mosquitoes, their bodies were larger, their abdomen was still bulging, like red crystal, but they were covered by the sludge, and ordinary people could easily ignore it.

Tang Qi could see it because when his gaze swept over, a little ghostly light flickered suddenly.

A special picture slowly emerged in Tang Qi's surprised look.

[Transcendent Creature: Ogre Mosquito. 】

[Status: Dead larvae.] 】

[Fragment 1: A dead ogre mosquito hatchling, which was only a tenth of a second behind its brothers and sisters, did not have time to suck enough blood to grow a hard body, and was flattened by the fragile palm of the human. 】

[Information fragment 2: To hatch ogre mosquitoes, you need a humid environment and clear water. 】

"Huh?"

When the second fragment of information flowed past, Tang Qi raised his eyebrows slightly.

A police detective was summoned to the scene and asked directly, "Central Park, where the water is the clearest?"

This is a curly-haired young police detective, who was stunned for a moment when he heard the question, then thought for a while, and said, "It should be on the island in the middle of the lake, there are still some villas there, and it is a small area where rich people live." ”

......

Don Qi and Stana soon appeared on the island in the middle of the lake.

As the detective said, this is indeed a rich settlement, and the island in the middle of the lake is not just one island, but actually many small islands, each of which has a single-family villa, and can be traveled by boat to each other.

Tang Qi glanced at it, and finally his gaze fell on the villa in the very center, which was actually farther away from the other villas, and the water in the middle of the lake seemed to be clearer.

The two of them found a small boat and rowed there, although it was not early in the morning, but it was still foggy here, and the clear lake water looked through the fog, with a gray-black texture, making it impossible to see what was really underneath.

"Jingle Bell~"

As soon as the crisp bell rang, a "click" was heard, the white door was opened, and a young man appeared in front of them.

This is a man who looks slender, dressed in a decent suit, with a handsome face, and his hair is carefully trimmed, except for the dark circles under his eyes, it can be seen that he is a gentleman with deep financial resources.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

The man didn't let the two in, but asked with the door ajar.

"Hello sir, I'm Steina, Sergeant of the Mercer Police Department, this is Donkey, our advisor, I'm here to investigate a few recent cases, I have a few questions for you, maybe you'll be willing to cooperate. ”

Stana took out her ID and shook it in front of the man, although it was a discussion, but her tone was irrefutable.

The man probably wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, he replied, "Okay, please come in." ”

The three of them walked into the hall together, and the man wanted to lead Tang Qi and Stana to the sofa area, but on the way, he had to pass through a huge glass tank, which was bubbling "gurgling", and the bottom of the tank, the wall of the tank, and the water were all attached to the yellow glass ball-like things, floating and sinking.

Because of those bubbles, the two of them can't really see it.

As if knowing that the two of them would be curious, the man took the initiative to explain: "Those are all amber, I am actually an amber merchant, this water cultivation method is my exclusive secret recipe, which can make amber more crystal full and can be sold at a higher price." ”

"If the two detectives are interested, I can give you a few to play with privately when you leave. ”

When the man talks about his "profession", he seems to be relaxed, and the whole person looks personable, which makes people can't help but feel good.

But unfortunately, Stana still has a cold face, obviously not very interested in amber, and when she walked in, she had already taken out a pen and paper, apparently planning to interrogate this young man who could earn a villa with amber on the spot.

Tang Qi, on the other hand, smiled faintly, pretending to be very surprised, and said, "Is it really amber? So much, I'm also very interested in amber, this special creature fossil is really amazing, you can collect so much, can I take a closer look?"

After speaking, Tang Qi never seemed to think that the other party would object, and walked directly to the glass jar.

After taking a few quick steps, he was already less than a meter away from the glass jar.

Although the bubbles were still churning, it was enough for Tang Qi to see the scene inside, the dark yellow "amber" crystal clear attached to the walls of the tank, the surface glowing with an attractive luster, and the inside was wrapped in a curled mosquito.

Every single one, too.

Densely packed, all of them were familiar mosquitoes.

A large amount of ghostly light converged, and finally a special interface jumped out under Tang Qi's eyes.

"Transcendent creatures: ogre mosquitoes. ”

Status: ...... in Hatching Larvae. ”

When this scene emerged, Tang Qi subconsciously turned his head and was about to shout something, but he saw a face, a handsome face with a somewhat distorted and weird smile.
