Chapter III: Crime Scene Investigation

"Welcome to New York City." Standing on the streets of New York City, Lassadis made a show gesture at the two men.

"Is this the surreal world? It doesn't look any different. Xing Tianyu looked at the surrounding street scene and said, the sun was shining, the green trees were like shadows, pedestrians were walking around, and cars were coming and going. It doesn't seem outrageous.

Sylvia nodded, the world here seemed very unremarkable, far from being a surreal place.

"That's because the tone of our story hasn't changed, we're now in the tone of a life film, a Gabriela about office workers, and in that tone everything is bland, and we have to try not to change it." ”

"But how do we find my daughter?" Sylvia resisted the urge to use prophecy.

"It's easy, I'll show you in a moment, but in the meantime, we'll have to change our clothes first."

"What's wrong with our clothes?"

Xing Tianyu glanced at the black windbreaker on his body, and then at the red windbreaker on Sylvia's body.

"It's so compelling."

"Is it just because you're wearing a sleek outfit that you're going to get into trouble?" Xing Tianyu was a little difficult to accept.

"Trust me, the last time I was here, I almost got blown into powder just because of a bad hairstyle." Lassadis said in a tone that was indescribable.

There was no way, the three of them had to find a store, all changed their clothes, all changed into casual clothes, and looked like ordinary people who had nothing to do, and Sylvia even bought a hat at the request of Lassadis, and made a pair of eyes, as much as possible to make it look like an ordinary person.

"Now can we tell us how to find my daughter!" Standing in front of the clothing store, Xing Tianyu asked while fidgeting with the hem of his clothes a little restlessly.

Lassadis nodded, "It's simple, set up a flag." You see, this world has its own unique rules, and breaking the rules will be punished, and saying the wrong thing will cost you your life. But if you say it right, you'll get the results you want. Lasadis said, handing a note to Sylvia, "Read it aloud." ”

Sylvia glanced at the note, a strange expression on her face, but read it out anyway.

"Oh God, there's no hope, we'll never find our poor daughter."

However, after reading it, there was no reaction from the surroundings, Xing Tianyu looked around, and then looked at Lassadis, [This guy won't be playing with us, right? There was a clear expression in his gaze.

Facing the questioning eyes of the two, Lasadis sighed helplessly, "When you read this sentence, you have to invest a little bit and have a little emotion, so you have also been an actor, haven't you?" ”

Sylvia nodded when she heard this, first brewed her emotions, and then put away the note, she grabbed Xing Tianyu's arm, "Oh my God, there is no hope, we must never find our poor daughter." ”

This time, Sylvia was extremely devoted, and even there was a bit of crying in her voice, which even made Xing Tianyu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Stop!" Lassadis looked at Xing Tianyu with a look of hatred for iron and steel, "I said it all, don't talk nonsense, why are you still?" ”

Xing Tianyu was confused, and said in his heart that he was just comforting Sylvia, which is not good?

"What are you kidding, I'm just-" However, before he could finish speaking, a miniature Beetle suddenly sped in front of the three of them, driven by a little girl of mixed Chinese and Western descent.

"Look." Sylvia was surprised and pointed to the little girl's face from the window. Although it is just a moment, whether it is temperament or appearance, it faintly looks like two people.

"Could that be—"

Lasadis nodded, "That's right, it's her, lo and behold, I'll just say it's easy to find her." ”

Lasadis hailed a taxi as he spoke, and after the three of them entered, Lasadis immediately pointed to the front, "Follow the car in front of me." The taxi driver was also very cooperative, and immediately kicked the accelerator and chased after him at a gallop.

The car in front of him was driving fast, but the taxi driver was even more reckless, the accelerator gave him up, and in the blink of an eye, he chased after him, not far behind.

Sylvia looked at the car in front of her and suddenly asked, "Why has our daughter become so big?" She's only been gone for three days. ”

"Time flows at different speeds in different worlds. And I'm guessing she may have mastered the ability to dodge. ”

"What do you mean by flashing?"

"It's when you're watching a TV series or a movie, sometimes, in order to advance the plot, the screen will suddenly go black, and then words like "ten years later", "three years later", "six months later] appear on the screen, and then the plot will come to a period of time, and the same can be done in this world, but usually only a few people can master this ability, and your daughter must be a genius."

"But." Xing Tianyu opened his mouth to ask, but the questions in his head finally turned into a sigh, forget it, this world is too weird. Xing Tianyu could only choose to accept this setting.

Sylvia wasn't so easy to dismiss, "Where is she going?" Why can she drive at the age of twelve? Also Why do I know she's twelve years old this year? ”

This time Lassadis didn't bother to answer, just spread his hands, squeaked, the mini beetle speeding in front of him suddenly stopped, Xing Ziyue in a trench coat stepped out of the car, wearing sunglasses, although petite, but still made the two of them feel a vigorous temperament, this feeling is very strange, as if the whole world, or at least a few nearby streets exist with her as the core, even the light around her seems brighter and clearer.

No one seemed to notice this strange phenomenon, but Xing Tianyu and Sylvia were not ordinary people, their sensory abilities were far beyond ordinary people, and they could detect abnormalities even if they didn't use magic.

And Lassadis apparently found out, "Oh my God! She's a heroine, and your daughter turns out to be a heroine! ”

"Speak human words."

"As I've said before, in this world, everybody is part of a story, but most of them are just passers-by in the story, a few are going to be the ones and the supporting characters, and a very small number of people are able to get to the heart of the story, to move the whole story forward, to be the main character of the story, and your daughter is obviously that kind of person." ”

"What happens when you become the main character?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on the tone of the story, but it's usually very powerful, and it can affect everyone and things around her, and every word and deed can change reality, hey, the place she went to seems to be a murder scene, so it seems that the tone of your daughter's story should be a criminal investigation movie, and her character is either a genius policeman or a genius detective or something."

Xing Tianyu was still a little incredulous, but he didn't have time to question it now. The three of them got out of the car and walked towards the crime scene, and from a distance, they saw Xing Ziyue talking to a bearded sheriff with a familiar expression.

"What's going on? Sheriff Richard. Xing Ziyue put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, frowned and asked, "Another murder?" ”

The sheriff nodded, "Another murder, the deceased was a researcher at Adam Tech, his home appears to have been ransacked, and it is initially suspected that it was a burglary." ”

Xing Ziyue nodded, she looked the sheriff up and down, and suddenly said, "You don't look a little right, is there something wrong?" ”

The sheriff nodded, "It's true, it's like this, I'm retiring next week, this should be the last time I solve a case with you, I have to say, I feel honored to know you in my police career." ”

Xing Ziyue's face changed slightly, and she took a step back quietly. "I'm also honored to be able to work with you, it's a pity, we were a good pair, do you have any plans after retirement?"

"I'm going to open my own bakery, which I had dreamed of since I was very young, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to achieve it, and this time I can finally get my wish."

Xing Ziyue took a step back quietly, "Bakery, it sounds like a boring job?" Aren't you thinking about working for a few more years and then retiring? ”

The sheriff shook his head: "As long as you are with your beloved, how can you be bored, oh by the way, I forgot to tell you, I recently met a girlfriend, she is very beautiful, I plan to go back to my hometown to marry her after I retire." ”

A trace of horror flashed in Xing Ziyue's eyes, and she took a step back again.

As if feeling far enough, she shook her head regretfully, "Can I take a look at the crime scene?" ”

"Not yet, our personnel are collecting evidence and eliminating threats, and it should be over immediately."

At this time, a police officer suddenly ran out of the house, "Sheriff, it has been determined that it is safe inside, but you better take a look, we have some special findings." ”

The sheriff stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "Then let's go in together." ”

Xing Ziyue nodded, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, I suddenly remembered, I seem to have seen a few suspicious guys nearby just now, why don't you go in first, and it's too late to go in when I find out the situation outside, I'll take a look around first." Xing Ziyue flatly refused. The sheriff didn't care, nodded, and followed the officer inside.

Xing Ziyue watched the sheriff walk into the house, but a faint sadness flashed in her eyes, she began to survey the scene outside, searching for footprints or something, but she seemed a little absent-minded, and seemed to be interested in the house, glancing at the house from time to time.

At this moment, standing outside the isolation line, Xing Tianyu and Sylvia were nervous, absurd, and surprised. I'm glad that my daughter has finally been found, and she seems to be alive and well. I think it's absurd because a twelve-year-old girl is investigating the crime scene, this kind of thing makes people feel absurd and disagreeable, but the people around them don't seem to feel it at all, as if this is a normal thing. As for the nervousness, it's because a little girl of a few months has become a twelve-year-old girl in the blink of an eye, how can you recognize this? How do you explain it after you recognize each other?

However, there is no escaping this kind of thing after all. Mustering up their courage, the two pulled open the cordon and walked in.

"Listen, you've been a writer, and if she asks what's going on, you'll do it." Sylvia said as she walked, and without waiting for Xing Tianyu to answer, she had already quickened her pace, "Ziyue, it's been a long time, are you okay?" Sylvia asked with some excitement.

Xing Ziyue turned around abruptly and looked at the two of them suspiciously. "Who are you?"

Xing Tianyu opened his mouth and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a loud bang, a violent explosion, a sky-high fire, and the entire victim's home was blown to pieces as if it had been hit by a thousand-pound bomb.

"Oh my God!" There were exclamations and screams all around, and the torture Ziyue glanced at the house that had become ruins, but shook her head calmly. "I'm sorry, I'll have to miss me first." So saying, he ran towards the house.

Xing Tianyu and Sylvia looked at the exploding house with a shocked expression, and said in their hearts, what is the situation?

Lasadis came over at this time, his face was a little ugly, "It seems that the story line where your daughter is located is not ordinary, you better recognize each other quickly, lest things go too wrong, I will flash people for the time being, and then contact me after you are done, I don't want to be involved in such a dangerous thing." ”

After saying that, he didn't allow the two to stay, so he turned around and ran away.
