Chapter 44: Luring the Serpent Out of the Hole
On October 4th, Sunny, the seventh meeting room of the Black Auditorium in Qiufeng District.
“....... To sum up, my previous judgment may be correct, the real murderer who suddenly lowered his profile a few days ago may have been waiting for the time period when the Sword Saint Tournament will start, whether he expects to commit a crime at the moment when the city is focused, attract more attention to create false legends, or use legends to disguise his real killing target, the fact is that he has succeeded, and it is very likely that it is not the end of the ......"
The twenty-day countdown has come to an end, and there are seven days left in the thirty-day dead line, and now I don't remember how many times it was to exchange intelligence.
The veterans of the task force either looked haggard, or their eyes were full of vigilance and suspicion, and everyone was tossed and choked.
After completing the report, even if his guess was confirmed, Xie Ying was still in a very bad mood.
Sitting at the top is Minister Liu, who was high-spirited 20 days ago, and the current "Director Liu", who was just demoted yesterday.
He can still sit here after being directly deducted one level, but like everyone here, the case has not been solved yet, and you still need to make meritorious contributions.
Just the morning before yesterday, on the second day of the Juggernaut Tournament, the first day of the official match, the second game of the opening exhibition match started five minutes into the game.
In full view of countless dignitaries and bigwigs, and in the spotlight of TV and online live broadcasts, the head of the great chief of the Tita tribe flew into the sky.
How not to mention the relationship between this race and human beings, on this occasion, when countless pairs of eyes were focused, the bloody headless corpse flew in mid-air for three seconds, and the big screen gave a shot just right, and the confused and unbelieving gaze was too terrifying, which directly caused countless screams.
[Thirty-seven years ago, the bloody case in Wenheng Town, seven hundred and sixty-two lives, it's time to pay it back! 】
The mechanical synthesized sound erupted in the crowd, and the police acted quickly, only to find only five unmarked gramophones.
Don't say anything stupid about public opinion being detonated, all news media, print media, and online media have only this one news around the clock, and all comment areas and chat rooms have been swiped by it.
Incidentally, there were more than 20 attacks on "foreigners" in a single day under the guidance of the "righteous leaders".
In just one afternoon, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received more than a dozen diplomatic denunciations, many foreign dignitaries left the same day, and the international prestige of the entire city plummeted, almost driving the foreign minister crazy.
"What righteous leaders! Just a crazy murderer! ”
Yes, the Righteous Leader, the new folk name for the Righteous Decapitator.
Ten days ago, when the task force was still worried about countless copycats, a PV short film quickly became popular on the Internet, and a hooded figure appeared on the screen.
The video first showed a short video of the massacre of the Atyrs, and then, the figure appeared, he killed an Athl on the spot, and the sudden leakage of the corpse undoubtedly proved his true identity.
There are no manifestos or political slogans, only a line of black handwriting is typed into the center of the screen as the figure disappears from the edge of the camera.
[If the city can't give justice and fairness to the innocent dead, I'll give it.] 】
So, completely crazy.
The Spirit Net Administration has never been able to find the source of the PV short film, but in just three days, more than a dozen similar short films have appeared.
A large number of imitators emerged, and many of them were extremely clumsy, not to mention exposing their coordinates and contact client IDs when uploading, and there were many people who exposed their blades and tattoos, which made the prison of the police station burst that night.
But it's useless, once the hatred is instigated, how can it be easily stopped, in this year of long-term war, who doesn't have a relative and friend who died miserably, even if there is no contemporary generation, it can still be regarded as the share of the ancestors.
All of a sudden, the foreigners who had blood feuds with humans were in danger in the city, and they fled one after another, and even because there were too many imitators, the blood feuds against the aliens were not enough, and the hooligans, ruffians, gangs, and traffickers all suffered.
Although the number of homicides and attempted homicides has increased dramatically, the overall crime rate of the entire city has dropped dramatically, and even faintly reached the point where there is no way to pick up the road and thieves dare not steal.
"If the city can't give justice and fairness to the innocent dead, I'll give it." This black note appeared at the scene of the murder on a large scale.
And in the chaos, the "righteous leader" still maintains a steady and low-key frequency of crimes, one kill a day is basic, and occasionally work overtime at night to make up for a head.
Finally, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the task force, which were forced to be anxious, jointly conducted a very irrational large-scale investigation with the Logistics Department, and invested heavily to install electronic cameras at tens of thousands of key nodes in the third and fourth rings.
Well, the first two days did make a huge difference, catching hundreds of unlucky people who hit the window, like a speeding camera that was suddenly installed, and it can always kill unsuspecting drivers.
But the next night, in a shock wave of "resistance replacement", it turned into scrap metal and garbage.
Clearly, the god of the Attels did not bless his people.
Or, a few hundred people in a city are not at all in his overall consideration, and he does not even know about it.
Why not use artificial artifact substitutes? In fact, similar products have been available for a long time, although the number of spirit crystals consumed must be astronomical, but the anxious task force will no longer care about that loss.
The key is that artificial artifacts also need to be controlled by the operator nearby........ With so many monitors, isn't it superfluous to ask for a camera, in the automatic type, artificial spirit weapons are far inferior to technological products and real spirit weapons.
The expert who proposed the "camera" in the task force was kicked out directly, and when he left, his face was full of relief and ease, and he also gambled to see if he could catch an important target before the camera was scrapped.
But the strange thing is that the "decapitation demon" didn't commit any crime in those two days!
"The traitor is certain, and the level is quite high, and the other imitators still have to find targets, this guy is either chasing the Attels and cutting them, or according to the assassination and taint list within our discipline inspection. By the way, that guy has also avoided our key squatting targets several times, and it is too obvious that the information has leaked. ”
Putting down the empty bottle of refreshing medicine, Xie Ying, who does not smoke or drink during working hours, frowned and looked at the conference room in front of him.
These people, who had been dressed like people at the previous meetings, were now covered in the smell of smoke, and the tables were full of ashtrays full of cigarette butts, and the whole room was so thick that it was impossible to see people.
"Heh, as in the current situation, will the mole be in this room, which face will it be under the smoke......."
Such a possibility has appeared more than once in Xie Ying's mind, and he also knows that others are estimated to be the same idea, looking at everyone like a traitor.
After all, the previous precautions, vigilance, repeated temptations, and repeated false information with traps have made the atmosphere within the task force worse and worse, which is also one of the root causes of the delay in progress...... The traps that were caught several times were all stepped on by their own people.
None of them can trust the information provided by the other party, and everyone is wondering if the other people are moles, and they keep tempting their companions, which is also a yarn.
However, internal information is still leaking, and now everyone is questioning whether the task force really has a mole......
"Well, not everyone."
Looking at a newcomer sitting next to him, his chin slammed on the table, sleeping soundly.
Unlike other members of the task force with neurasthenia with dark circles, she had a ruddy complexion and healthy glowing skin, and she fell asleep now only because she had worked overtime last night and arrested several copycats.
From the beginning, she probably did not prepare to make meritorious contributions, and under the guidance of Zheng Li, she went all out to sprint to impersonators and similar criminal cases, but she gained a lot.
Not to mention, after chatting with her a few days ago, Xie Ying found that she had grown a lot, and she was very familiar with the basic procedures and methods of criminal investigation.
Not to mention, because of his diligence in handling the case, he also received verbal praise from his superiors, and if he only looked at the data, he was much better than the other zero-egg who chased the original culprit.
But it is still immature to sleep at the meeting, especially when the most important time for the exchange of information is over......
"Ahem!"
A light cough and the vibration of the desktop directly woke up the little tiger suddenly.
She was stunned for a moment, her fierce eyes glared everywhere, and then she found that many people were looking at her with smiles on their lips, and hurriedly woke up.
She lowered her head, took a pen and paper, and began to bury her head in the records against the information.
This is not a complete disguise, these days she has behaved more and more like a case handler, like Xie Ying, and the small notebook she carries with her is very diligent.
"Zheng Li taught her, don't say it, Zheng Li really has a hand in teaching people, and the rabbit is getting more and more presentable."
Xie Ying sighed a little, but noticed that Hu Yisaki, who was sitting next to him, looked at the notebook, suddenly woke up with his eyes widened, and then raised his hand directly to speak.
"Does Zheng Li have an idea again?"
These days, Hu Yisaki and Zheng Li have had a lot of contact, at least several times more than Xie Ying went back.
Meritorious service is meaningless to someone, and if Zheng Li has any thoughts and opinions, he will speak through Little Tiger.
Not to mention, there are several meritorious and effective ones, which is also the reason why newcomers receive verbal commendations.
After all, everyone's level is different, and the expectations of the superiors are also different, and they didn't expect this little tiger to do anything, but now they still have a little merit, and everyone's evaluation has naturally risen.
"Ahem, Zheng ...... Our group had a plan in mind. Now it's almost time to verify. It's not about the decapitator, it's about that particular panelist. ”
Task force members? Seeing Tiger Ichisaki's gaze on the first lower right position, the "special member" who came by chance.
"The ambassador. Could it be that from the beginning, there was no intention of handing over the rib of God to us? What do you think, if this material falls into our hands, what new weapon has been developed, and it is still in this state of open information, how will he deal with it when he goes back? In the style of the Artels, the enemy will be executed outright. ”
This is actually big nonsense, and as the countdown draws closer to the end and fewer ambassadors come, many people think of this possibility.
"Yes, it's pretty much certain. The people outside gave the news that they had found Artel's reinforcements, and they would arrive in five days at the earliest. When the time comes, we don't think there's anything we can do with him. ”
The answer given by the "director" Liu above made everyone frown and was a little uncomfortable.
To be honest, for this city, the entire Righteous Beheading Demon Incident is not as important as the divine bone material.
If you can't find out the case, it is estimated that it will only be downgraded, and this non-renewable material is really gone, I'm afraid someone will have to take the blame.
However, now that person is cautious, there are a lot of bodyguards in and out, and it just so happens that many foreigners are staring at the official now, and it is unrealistic to do anything in private.
Just watching him destroy the divine material? Everyone is bleeding, and no one can accept this outcome.
Since you point out the facts that everyone deliberately avoids, it will definitely not end here, even if the newcomer is so blind, he will also be rectified.
Everyone's eyes looked at Hu Yisaki, which made her panic, and she hurriedly looked down at the book before continuing.
"Since the problem cannot be solved by normal means now, the matter of the divine bones is even out of touch with the decapitator. Otherwise, we just take the initiative and come to a 'decapitator accidentally enters the net'. Forced him to hand over the divine bones first. By the way, you can also catch a copy of the criminal, and maybe even lead to a real decapitator! ”
