Chapter 44: The Frozen to Death

I've eaten the food, the tea has been drunk, and it's time to get down to business. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Since about two weeks ago, something strange has happened in our group's territory. The ten-character Daolong calmly recounted to Harusa, "Someone...... Frozen to death. ”

"Freezing to death?" Haruji frowned slightly.

It's late autumn now, and two weeks ago, even if it had just entered late autumn, the temperature at that time was not to the point where people would freeze to death.

Unless it's a homeless person who mixes very badly, encounters very bad weather, and is very unfortunate to be in poor health......

In short, this should not be a normal state of affairs.

"Yes, freeze to death, right around the corner of the street. Dao Long said, raising his hand and slapping it three times.

A man in a suit walked into the room, bowed his head, then placed an envelope on the table and withdrew.

…… How many people were standing outside the door?

But for now, let's look at the envelope.

Shizi Daolong took out a stack of photos from the envelope, took out the first one on it, and slowly placed it in front of Harusa.

The photograph shows a young man in an avant-garde jacket and jeans, with a hairstyle of Matt, curled up in a shrimp-like posture in a corner of the alley, hugging himself tightly, his face pale, his eyes wide, and his expression extremely frightened.

"This is the first thing to discover, and you can surely tell that he is not a wanderer with nowhere to go, nor a frail old man, but just an ordinary, bad-character gangster. Dao Long said.

The "bad conduct" from the mouth of the underworld boss sounds a little subtle......

"That's right, I don't look like the kind of person who should freeze to death on the streets. Harusa nodded.

"But he really froze to death...... Our people were looking for him for something, and when they found him, he was in this state, stiff and cold, like he had turned into ice. Dao Long said calmly.

"My subordinates reported it, and because I thought it was weird, I judged that it was best not to worry too much, so I reported it to the police anonymously. ”

Later, according to the intelligence from the police station, this strange corpse was actually gone! Without investigation or in-depth investigation, it was just taken to cremated. ”

Harusa frowned.

"What about the families of the deceased?"

"I don't know. This guy came here from outside a year ago, no one cares about his past and family, and he doesn't have any close friends...... It's scum that doesn't matter if it's dead. Dao Long said calmly.

Dregs...... This word does not mean any contempt in the words of the underworld boss, it is purely to tell the truth - no one cares about it when it is dead, and it is of little value to others.

There are actually more such people in society than ordinary people expect.

In his previous life, Harusa also knew a little bit about the gloom in this regard, so he wouldn't make a fuss at this time.

In the eyes of Shizi Daolong, this is obviously the knowledge that the young man has, and he must have learned it from his family.

"And that's just the first one. Dao Long continued, took out a second photo, and placed it in front of the young man.

This photo is even more weird, an uncle with messy hair, a bearded face, and almost naked all over his body, the whole person is pasted on a wall, showing a "big" shape, his face is also full of horror, and his teeth are clenched.

"This is the second ...... Our people also tried to find him because of something, and when they found him, they found that he was in this state, frozen to death like the first one, stiff and cold, and his flesh and skin were frozen together with the wall, as if he had been welded to it. Dao Long said calmly.

Harusa touched his chin.

"If I'm not mistaken, this one is also ......"

"Scum, a hidden wanted criminal, the same guy who doesn't care if he's dead. ”

"It's the same as the last one...... Same identity, same way to die......"

Shiwen Daolong nodded, and silently, put out the rest of the photos one by one.

There were five people in total, five corpses, all of whom died in different ways, but all of them were full of horror and strange postures.

"That's all we've found so far...... They were all scum, all frozen to death, dead in unknown corners, and no one knew when they would be found if it weren't for our people who were specifically looking for them. Dao Long said.

"Why are you looking for them?" asked Harusa.

"Because...... A 'medicine'. Dao Long bowed his head slightly.

Harusa raised an eyebrow.

The "medicine" that the underworld is looking for...... It must be that kind of thing.

"This 'medicine' ...... Is it sold by them, and the 'quality' is good, or is the 'price' low?"

Dao Long was silent.

After a few moments, he spoke slowly.

"This 'medicine', our people didn't get their hands on the real thing, but according to the description, it seems a little weird. ”

"It's a small lump between solid and liquid, soft and slightly shakes on its own when placed in the palm of your hand. ”

"When you take it directly, you feel it move in your stomach, and then you feel hot all over your body, and then you ...... It's like going to another world. ”

"If you look at it, you will see that the user feels like he is dead for about an hour, his breathing is extremely weak, and his body temperature is very low, but after that, he can wake up and return to normal after half an hour. ”

Harusa frowned.

"You ...... Never seen such a 'drug'?"

"Yes, never. Dao Long replied in the affirmative, "This kind of thing appears on our territory, of course we have to find out." ”

"But the sellers you found are all dead, and they all died in this strange way. ”

"That's right, the search of their former residence has not found anything useful, and the clues are completely broken. ”

"The police are turning a blind eye to this?"

"Yes, all the bodies were ignored and cremated without any form of investigation. ”

"At what price did they sell this thing, and to whom?"

"They sell it to young people at a third of the price of a typical 'medicine'...... To be precise, it should be people under the age of twenty-five. ”

The scene fell silent.

"There are too many strange things about this matter, and the police are ignoring it, so you think that it may have something to do with 'over there'?" Haruji said calmly.

Dao Long nodded.

"That's the last possibility I can think of...... So, I desperately want to know from the adults over there that we are here...... What is happening or what's happening in our Shibun territory......"

The underworld boss sighed.

"The events that can silence the police are not something that we people in the shadows can touch. ”

"But...... Even if it's pedantic, even if it's stubborn, I think that since we're begging for a living in this land, we need to know what's going on here. ”

"Only by knowing what is happening can we manage to protect ourselves and the ...... we want to protect Everything!"

"Haruta-sama...... We are the underworld, and we are insignificant and insignificant beings in the eyes of the adults above, but just as ants also have an order to obey desperately, we also have our own dignity and uncompromising things. ”

Shizi Dao Long finished speaking slowly, and again, he was sitting and retreating, bowing to the young man in front of him.

"I sincerely ask you to ...... Specify the fog. ”

Harusa: "............"

Even if you beg me, I don't know, uncle!!

Harusa, who was expressionless, was already in a cold sweat in his heart.
