Chapter 14: The Mirror Game IX

Li Yunlong was still more careful and serious when he looked through the files at the beginning, and the more he looked back, the faster he looked, and when he saw that in the end, he already hated iron and steel, "This is the information related to the case? The local police station may have limited capabilities, and your FBI agents will follow these things!" After all, you have to talk about evidence to solve the case, and all kinds of suspicious points have to be investigated, but you have already combined the cases, why are they all repetitive work, and there is no new idea at all? No wonder you can't solve the case for so long!"

Agent David disagreed with Li Yunlong's point of view: "Mr. Brooke Lee, my colleagues and I are ordinary people, not like you who have mysterious powers, and have no relevant understanding of occult knowledge, so we can only work hard according to the methods of ordinary people." I can be sure with my professional eye that they did their part. ”

Li Yunlong scoffed at this statement: "Did you do your best or did you exert your strength? I've always seen detective novels and detective movies, right? Don't you think from another perspective? Every time the murderer commits a crime, he hides himself so well, and you can't even catch the slightest bit of a horse after so many times, can't it explain the problem?"

Agent David: "That's what I'm wondering! I wasn't directly involved in the previous investigation, but this time the Wesley family case police did a good job. Agent Gillian and I were also afraid that there would be any omissions in the local police investigations, so what we did on the first day after we arrived was to review the investigations and make sure that there were no problems. ”

Is this the level of the FBI's elite agents? Or are the two I encountered simply straw bales! Li Yunlong fell into deep suspicion: "You haven't suspected other possibilities? The mirror can't run to the victim by himself and say to her, 'Hey, man, take me back, I'll kill you!' If you really want to do this, the mirror can't stay at the crime scene honestly in the end!"

Agent David also scratched his head, "We've also thought about this issue. For this purpose, the police also specially made a timetable and a relationship chart of the victims, but after careful investigation, no problems were found. ”

Are you whitewashing the peace or shirking responsibility? Li Yunlong: "Agent David, if you want to solve the case, don't hold this kind of thinking anymore. Your timeline is simply a piece of rubbish, and I don't see any use for it other than to lead you astray. ”

Agent David: "Why do you say that?"

Li Yunlong: "How did the local police set the timetable?"

Agent David "interviewed all the people who came into contact with the victim and compiled them based on their testimony and other supporting evidence collected by the police." ”

Li Yunlong: "You should know better than me that the police force is limited, how many resources can they invest in this matter?"

Agent David firmly stood on the police's side: "You don't have to worry about this, the police staff are professionally trained, and any problems will be discovered by them." ”

Li Yunlong: Really, drug interference, hypnotic control, cult gang crimes, not to mention mysterious powers, just thinking about the fact that ordinary people can have so many methods, are you sure those police detectives can see these problems?"

Agent David was vague for a long time, and finally had to admit this: "This possibility exists, but if this is the case, the police investigation will lead to a dead end." Agent David slowed down as he realized that the mirror game was exactly what the case was about, "So what do we do? The killer is hiding his tracks, and in this case, we can't find him." ”

Li Yunlong: "There are many ways, it just depends on whether you are willing to invest resources. To put it bluntly, it's a matter of money. ”

Agent David: "Money is not an issue in the face of life!"

Li Yunlong: "Whoever walks through must leave footprints! As soon as the crime is discovered, a large-scale search will be launched! With the victim's crime scene as the center, we will conduct an indiscriminate investigation of all the people and things within a radius of several miles around it, conduct laboratory tests and analyze all the clues that can be found, and finally sum up and deal with them, and we will certainly be able to discover the problem. ”

Li Yunlong's answer made Agent David fall silent, and only after half a sound did he say, "Such a large-scale mobilization and consumption of manpower and material resources, unless the head of the Los Angeles Police Department is crazy, it is impossible to use it for a small case like the mirror game." "The Los Angeles Police Department is known as the second largest police department in the United States, second only to the New York Police Department, with a huge police department including air security forces, water security forces, special operations forces and other special units, with a total number of tens of thousands, including civilian and auxiliary personnel, of course. The large-scale search mentioned by Li Yunlong means concentrating all manpower and material resources to carry out investigations at any cost, and this kind of trick is simple and rude, and it is indeed easy to find out the clues left by the criminals. But the problem is that the LAPD has an area of more than 1,200 square kilometers, covering a population of more than 3.8 million in such a large area, and the top management of the police department is scratching their heads every day about the lack of police force!

In the face of Li Yunlong's slightly ridiculous questioning, Agent David instinctively shouted the slogan, "Money is not a problem in the face of life!" The slogan is very cool! The actual work is not so cool! As an elite agent of the FBI, Agent David has not come out to handle the case once or twice, and everyone who actually handles the case knows that in the face of life, money is really a problem! Let's not say how many people have lost their lives because of money, nor do we say that those officials of the federal government are corrupt and ignore the lives of ordinary people, just according to the statistics released by the official United States itself, the average number of people who die every day because of shootings and car accidents is about 220 people, if there are emergencies such as train derailment, forest fires, ship sanking, plane crashes, etc., it can cause dozens or even hundreds of deaths at one time, which all need to consume public resources, that is, the manpower and material resources of the police department, don't think that the police in the United States live very easily, the grassroots police in the United States need to take money to work, take the patrol police in Los Angeles as an exampleThere are 12 hours of work on three days and 10 hours on four days. From these data, it is not difficult to see that the mirror game unsolved case that only killed Alice alone in Burbank, and only killed 3 people in a year, is just a small criminal case, that is, the murderer is more cunning, wandering around to commit crimes, the victim died more miserably, and the corpse looks very strange, but these are just small problems from the overall situation, the world is so big and strange There are so many people and things, and the mirror game is a little bit of a drizzle at best. Therefore, whether it is for the top management of the Los Angeles Police Department or the top management of the FBI, the unsolved case of the mirror game itself is just a small case, which is not worth it, and it is impossible to invest too much manpower and material resources in it.

Li Yunlong didn't hold on to Agent David's minor faults: "Since you can't invest enough manpower and material resources in time, I personally suggest that you give up this case!

Agent David: "We also know that this case is dangerous, but we are FBI agents, and if we don't deal with it, then will we let the people suffer?"

Li Yunlong felt that Agent David had no problem at least in his attitude, since he was an FBI agent, he had to bear the responsibility after earning this money, and the risks he needed to face when solving the case belonged to the occupational risks brought about by his work, and there was nothing to complain about, "Since you insist on doing this, then I have nothing to say." Let's go, let's go to the police station to see the evidence. There are only two things to look at, first to see the body of the victim Alice, and then to look at the mirror. ”

Two detectives drove with Li Yunlong and saw Alice's body in the morgue. Similar to the photos Li Yunlong saw before, Alice's body seemed to have been drained of blood and thinned into skin. The process of death can be very painful, with severely twisted limbs and darkened skin with noticeable folds. Unlike looking at the photos, a kind of coldness can be clearly felt next to the body, which is not only a matter of temperature, but also a deeper reason.

Li Yunlong observed for a long time, "Agent David, what will happen to the victim's body?"

Agent David "will be handed over to the family after the autopsy is completed. Is there anything wrong with this body?"

Li Yunlong: "There is a little problem. The deceased was killed because his soul and life were forcibly extracted by a spell, and in the process, because he was affected, he became a kind of black witchcraft casting material. My personal advice is to find a real cleric to decontaminate the victim's remains!"

Agent David: "You mean to find a priest to perform an exorcism for the remains?"

Li Yunlong had no choice but to make it clearer: "The remains of the deceased have become a kind of magical material, how are you going to exorcise demons for her? I'm talking about purification! Ask your friend if he knows anyone from the Inquisition." I don't think you can tell the difference between a true clergyman and a missionary. The Inquisition people are good at it, and if you can get them to take over the case, you can save a lot of effort. ”

Agent David's face is not very good-looking, Christianity prevails in this place, and Agent David's belief is also Christianity, although Christianity has its own organization, but on the surface there is no notorious institution like the Inquisition. Catholicism does have a requisition, but because of its bad reputation, it has long since changed its name, and now it seems to be called the Ministry of Faith and Reason, and Agent David is not crazy, how can he take the initiative to provoke this kind of organization!"I will arrange someone to deal with it." Let's take a look at the mirror. ”

Li Yunlong: "It's not to see, it's to use." You find a basement where no one has anything to offer, prepare tables and chairs, and bring mirrors. ”

Agent David wondered, "What are you going to do?"

Li Yunlong: "Since you have no power or power now, you want to solve the case." I had to try something outside of the norm. I'm going to use that mirror as a medium to cast a spell that will allow you to peep at the secrets of the mirror through the eyes of the dead, which in the ancient East was called Spiritualism!"
