CHAPTER XV. ACTION There is no time to delay
After Xingchen and Zechu returned to the cell, they launched an investigation.
Xingchen first checked the iron door of the cell, and there was no sign of picking the lock on it, so she asked the police officers around her, "How is it?" Did any suspicious fingerprints be found? ”
"No, on this, except for the suspect's, it is Xiao Chen's, and there is no third person's fingerprint."
Xingchen looked around the cell, where there was nothing but a bed, and there was no sign of a fight.
She carefully observed the wall, for fear of missing any small clues, just looking at it was not enough, and sniffed with her nose from time to time.
Ze Chu saw that Xingchen actually sniffed the wall with his nose, so he teased: "Are you a police dog?" Also smell with your nose! ”
Xingchen gave him a blank look, "What's wrong?" Do you have an opinion? ”
"No comment, you continue!"
Ze Chu also looked for clues for himself, he thought about it for a while, the only exit from this cell is this door, and there is a small window on the door, which is used by the police to observe the situation in the cell, such a small opening, how did the murderer go in to kill people, and such a death is not an ordinary way to kill, it is really incomprehensible, this should be regarded as a closed room murder case.
Now, the only clue is the corpse, Ze Chu walked up to the forensic doctor and asked, "How is it?" Do you have a preliminary judgment? ”
"This is the first time I have seen such a corpse, I can't judge the time of death from the zombie and corpse spots, according to Xiao Chen, such a state of death should be formed in a short time, but I checked the corpse, it was completely stiff, like a zombie, I thought, I must dissect the corpse to accurately determine the cause of death."
"Indeed, this is the first time I have seen such a corpse."
Xingchen heard their conversation and walked over to take a closer look at the corpse, she asked the medical examiner if she could take some samples, and after getting the forensic doctor's consent, Xingchen took a little tissue from the corpse and prepared to take it for testing.
Ze Chu was also suffering from the difficulty of finding clues, so he asked Werther: "Captain, have you seen the surveillance?" ”
"Not yet." Werther shook his head.
"Then I'll go through the surveillance and see if there will be any useful clues."
"Okay, then I'll go with you......" Werther said to Xingchen again: "Xingchen, I'll leave it to you here first, and Zechu and I will go to see the surveillance." ”
"Okay captain."
After Xingchen made another round around the scene, he took the sample to the laboratory department.
Ze Chu and Werther came to the monitoring room, and Werther called up this morning's surveillance, and since Xiao Chen's first inspection, the two of them took a closer look.
The two first fast-forwarded the two-hour surveillance, and when they saw someone walking past the crime scene, they stopped to identify it, and found that there were only four people passing by during this period, and they were all familiar faces, and these people were not close to the suspect's cell, so the suspicion of these people committing the crime can be basically ruled out.
Ze Chu tuned the video to half an hour before Xiao Chen's second patrol, and he carefully observed every frame, not letting go of any small corner.
When the video was played for about five minutes, a white light suddenly flashed in the picture, and Ze Chu didn't think about it at first, thinking that it was a little exposed when the probe turned to this angle.
It didn't take long for Xiao Chen to see the figure, he was checking the situation in the cell, and when he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately opened the door and entered the cell.
Witt asked, "Zechu, do you see what's coming?" ”
Ze Chu shook his head.
He rewinded the video back to five minutes ago, this time he turned it to slow-motion playback, and it wasn't until the white light appeared again that Ze Chu saw the clue, and he immediately rewinded it and watched the flash of the white light again.
Witt was puzzled, "Is there a problem here?" ”
Ze Chu paused the video at the second when the white light first flashed, and pointed to the light and said-
"Captain, look, this light is a little strange, at first I thought it was just exposure, but when I turned it into slow motion, I found out that this light has a route, I'll take a screenshot to show you."
Ze Chu intercepted every frame between the appearance and disappearance of the white light, and sure enough, this light appeared from the upper left corner of the video, and finally shone into the cell in the lower right corner.
Ze Chu enlarged the last picture again, and found that this white light shone impartially into the small window on the iron door, and then disappeared, and soon Xiao Chen discovered the situation.
Werther's eyes widened, "This, this light...... What's going on? ”
Ze Chu was also puzzled, "If other factors are excluded, you can only start from this light, but can a light kill people?" ”
At this time, Werther didn't know how to explain, his first instinct was to go to Xingchen to watch this video, maybe Xingchen would have a different opinion.
Ze Chu thought for a while, and then said to Werther: "Captain, let's take a look at the small window on the iron door, maybe there will be some clues." ”
"Okay."
Xingchen has carried out a very detailed compositional analysis of the sample in the laboratory.
Under the microscope, she found that the cells in this tissue were all atrophied, there was no cytoplasm, and even some severely damaged cells could no longer see the nucleus.
Xingchen suddenly felt that she had seen such a situation somewhere, she raised her head, closed her eyes quietly, and searched desperately in her mind......
I suddenly remembered that the same was true of the withered grass I brought back last time, although there was a difference between plant cells and human cells, but the test results were so strikingly similar.
Xingchen couldn't believe it, she immediately took out the radiation detector and tested the remaining samples, and the result shocked Xingchen, sure enough, it was ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.
She immediately rushed to the scene of the crime with a radiation detector......
Xingchen arrived at the scene panting, and by this time the body had been removed for autopsy, and only a few police officers remained in the cell to continue to collect fingerprints.
She looked around the cell to see where she could start testing for radiation.
Zechu and Werther had also arrived, and as soon as Werther saw the stars, he couldn't wait to tell her what they had discovered.
Xingchen was also thoughtful when he heard Werther's description, "A white light? White light? ...... Captain, where did you just say, where is the white light? ”
"The small window on the iron door, Ze Chu and I are preparing to look for clues on this window."
"Understood, captain, you don't have to look for it, I can know what this clue is right away."
Werther and Zechu were a little surprised.
Xingchen walked to the small window and carefully scanned it with a radiation detector.
As expected, a trace amount of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays were also detected here, but the strange thing is that the iron gate received such cosmic rays, and there was no change in the slightest, and this ray can make the human body become a dry corpse in an instant, and Xingchen has not been able to understand the essentials, and his heart is really uncomfortable.
Seeing Xingchen stunned, Werther asked in a low voice, "Xingchen, have you found a clue?" ”
Xingchen came back to his senses and nodded at Werther.
"So, what's the clue? Tell us about it! Witte was anxious for answers.
"Captain, let's go to the bureau and talk about it."
Werther didn't know what the stars meant, but he could only do it.
When the three of them returned to the bureau, they walked into Werther's office, and after Xingchen confirmed that there was no one outside, he closed the office door.
"Why are you so mysterious? I can't say it at the scene, I have to go here and close the door and say......" Ze was a little unhappy when he first saw the stars so mysterious.
"Because, no fourth person can know about this."
Ze Chu and Werther looked at each other in confusion, then turned to the stars.
"Captain, you must not have imagined that I detected the same cosmic rays on the iron gate and on the corpse, and this ray is exactly the same as the one we encountered at the scene where the gun disappeared."
The two couldn't help but be stunned!
"What, the same? No wonder, it's all a white light! That's when Werther connected the two incidents.
Ze Chu also felt incredible, "So, these two incidents are related to the ninth layer of space?" ”
"Whether it is related to the ninth layer of space is unknown, but there is one thing we must solve as soon as possible, and that is to go to the ninth layer space to retrieve the gun!"
"What, what? Retrieving a gun? Have you already thought of a way to enter the parallel space, Xingchen? Werther asked.
"Yes, captain, I originally planned to report to you tomorrow, but the sudden death of the suspect today makes me feel that the same force must be operating behind them, so it is urgent to recover the gun, and maybe, we can also find the mastermind behind the recovery of the gun."
"But, no, Xingchen, what you told me last time was that the gun disappeared because of the collision of the two spaces, but listening to what you mean today, that gun was removed by someone, this, how much ability does this have to do, and he can still kill people invisibly?"
"Captain, I can't talk to you about the reason for this, but it is imperative for us to recover the guns!"
Witt began to worry: "Xingchen, if it is really as you said, someone is manipulating behind it, then I think it is better not to look for the gun, it is too dangerous, in case you have a mistake, what can you tell me......"
"Captain, you don't have to worry, Xu Zechu and I have already arranged, we will enter the ninth layer of space together to find guns, but you need to pick us up in this space."
"How did you arrange it? Such a dangerous thing, I don't dare to let you do it, you still ......"
"Captain, you can put a hundred hearts, with me, it will be fine." Ze Chu interrupted Werther and reassured him.
But Witt always felt that something was wrong, and paced back and forth in the office in embarrassment.
"Captain, don't think too much, we won't act rashly without full certainty, I hope you can trust me, I have never let you down."
Xingchen said this, Werther stopped, she looked at Xingchen, and then at Zechu, and for a while-
"Xingchen, I naturally believe in you, I'm just worried about ......"
"Don't worry about the captain, just a little, I hope you don't let the fourth person know about this matter, including my parents, today's matter, and don't rush to close the case, wait for us to come back, and then make a decision."
"Okay, then you must be more careful, don't force it if you can't find it, it's a big deal to have one more unsolved case, it's better than letting you go into danger...... Tell me, then, how I should answer you. ”
Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Werther finally nodded, and then the three of them discussed the task of retrieving the gun.
After the deployment was completed, Xingchen and Zechu returned to their seats.
Ze Chu seemed to have a lot of questions, and he asked softly: "Do you think that these two incidents were caused by the Qingyue envoy?" ”
"I'm not sure if he did it, but it must have something to do with him, the gun went to the ninth layer of space, and the person transporting the gun was killed again, which is easy to think of as he was trying to kill the mouth."
"It seems that the only way to go there is to find out."
"Well, but, I don't want to tell my dad about this operation for the time being, if he knows, he will definitely stop us, and he doesn't approve of me continuing to search for guns, so don't mention it to my dad."
"Uh...... Okay. ”
Ze Chu was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it, it was really better not to tell Xingchen's father, so he didn't say anything.
"In a moment, I'll go home and pick up Bo'er, and I'll be right away."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."
Xingchen was speechless for a while, she didn't dare to imagine what her first cooperation with this guy would be like, so she could only secretly pray that nothing would go wrong.
After Xingchen returned home, his father hurriedly asked about the case, and Xingchen didn't want his father to worry, so he lied that it was just a small case and that he would have to continue to investigate the clues for a while.
Mom stepped forward with concern and asked, "Why are you going to go again in a while?" ”
"yes, I'm going to have to investigate the suspicious people related to this case in a moment."
Confused, Dad asked, "Then what are you going to do when you come back?" ”
"It's because I left in a hurry and forgot my previous investigation report at home, so I'll go back and get it now, then I'll go to my room to get the report first."
Dad wanted to ask her more, but Xingchen had already gone upstairs.
When she came to the room, Bo'er saw that Xingchen was back, and immediately jumped on her shoulder happily, "My little star, you are back, why did you leave me behind, and I was almost suffocated to death in the room alone!" ”
"Bo'er, there was a murder in the bureau, and I suspect it has something to do with the Qingyue Envoy, so our plan to find guns must be advanced, and we have to go to the ninth layer of space now."
"What, tell me this as soon as you get back? What murder happened, it was actually related to the Qingyue Envoy? ”
"Bo'er, you come with me first, and I'll talk to you on the way."
"No, you really want to go to the ninth layer now? I wasn't ready for it! ”
"Do you still need to pack your luggage! Let's go, Xu Zechu is still waiting for us. ”
Xingchen put Bo'er in his pocket and walked out of the room.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to the bureau."
Seeing the stars coming and going like this, my father was full of suspicions......
Back in the bureau, Xingchen called Kamisawa and Werther to rush to the place where the gun disappeared.
When they reached the riverbank, Xingchen instructed Werther not to let anyone approach this area, and when it was right, she and Zechu walked to the location they had located last time.
Xingchen summoned Bo'er and said to him, "Bo'er, the gun we found is located in the sky above here, you must see it in a moment, but don't send us somewhere else." ”
"I'll do something, don't worry!"
"Well, tell us how to mark a gun."
Boer pulled out a button-sized object out of nowhere and handed it to Xingchen, "Just stick this knob to the gun and press the button on it." ”
"Is it that simple?" Ze Chu was a little skeptical.
"yes, how complicated do you want it to be?"
"Alright, let's get started." Xingchen urged.
Bo'er began to chant the incantation, and soon the two were surrounded by light and shadow, Ze Chu This was the first time to cross the space, seeing the light and shadow around him passing through rapidly, it was hard to imagine that he would really go to another space.
Soon, the two of them entered the ninth layer of space, this time it was still stopped in mid-air, Ze Chu was surprised when he saw that his feet were empty!
"Oh my God! We are ...... In the air? ”
Xingchen immediately made a silent gesture, for fear that it would alarm the people here. She glanced at her feet and exclaimed, "This, isn't this the building we saw last time?" Could it be that the guns are in there? ”
"What, you were here last time?"
"Yes, but before we could go down, we were attacked, Bo'er, put us on the ground, we will be easily spotted in the air."
Boll nodded, and slowly sent the two to the surface.
As soon as the two of them landed, they nervously took out their pistols and looked around, which was surrounded by piles of rubble, no plants, and eerily quiet.
They hid behind a rock more than a man high, quietly observing the building in front of them.
"I remember the last time I saw this building, there was still a little bit of light, why can't I see it this time, it's pitch black, I don't know where the door is."
"That's Xingchen, I'll go explore the way first, and I'll come back to you when I find the entrance."
"Bo'er, let's act together, I'm afraid you're in danger!"
"It's dangerous to act together, don't worry, I'm a divine beast, I'll be fine, you guys are waiting for me here, don't run around."
"Alright then, be careful!"
Boer responded and flew towards the building, and after a while Boer was nowhere to be seen......
"Why is it so dark here, you can't see the stars or the moon in the sky?" Ze Chu looked at everything here and felt incredible.
"I don't know, Boer didn't tell me in detail, it stands to reason that this point is the same as the space we are in, it should be during the day, but I came here twice, and it was so dark."
"I said, you have to follow me when you go in a while, don't get lost by then, I have to work hard to find you."
Xingchen was really angry when he heard such words, "Xu Zechu, how long has it been, and your annoying nature has been exposed again?" ”
"How do you say that, I am also kind enough to remind you."
"Hmph, thank you!" Xingchen said through gritted teeth.
Suddenly, they heard some noise not far away, and the two of them immediately became alert, and after a while, they saw Bo'er flying over, and Xingchen exhaled-
"Bo'er, it's great that you're back safely, how are you, have you found the entrance?"
Bo'er blinked, "Of course, is there anything my guardian beast can't do?" However, it's dark inside this building, so take this with you. ”
At first glance, Xingchen and Ze saw that they were two wolf-eye flashlights.
"Bo'er, where did you get your flashlight?"
"Oh, don't care where it came from, come with me, it's big inside, it's not easy to find a gun."
"Okay, let's go!" The two of them walked out slowly from behind the rocks, and the cat walked slowly forward.
Xingchen only felt that he had walked about a hundred meters around the wall of this black building, and then he saw the entrance that Boer had said.
Xingchen and Zechu turned on the flashlight, and with the light, the two finally saw the entrance clearly, and couldn't help but gasp......
