Chapter 87: Tempest: Advanced Pass (5)
There was a small tent set up on the construction site, and Norman opened the tent to look inside, but before he could take a closer look, two policemen approached, one of whom was wearing a black coat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey, you! What are you doing over there? The man in the black coat shouted.
Norman reluctantly pulled up the tent, took off his sunglasses and looked at the visitor, "Vice Captain Blake?" I'm FBI agent Norman. Jayden, came to your office this morning to report to you, and they told me you were here. ”
Blake breathed a sigh of relief, he looked rather impatient, and said in a complaining tone, "If you're looking for thunderstorms, corpses, and highways, you've come to the right place." ”
Ignoring Norman, Blake said to the officers beside him, "Mike, tell that fool who drove the bulldozer that he was not allowed to move for five minutes, it was so noisy that he couldn't even hear what he said." ”
The officer left, Blake took a few steps and remembered Norman and turned to him and asked, "Oh, are you going to come along, Jayden?" ”
Norman followed and asked, "What happened?" The battle is not small. ”
Blake sighed, "The man who took the dog for a walk found the body around six o'clock this morning, and from the signs of the current investigation, we deduce that it was committed by the origami murderer." ”
"The identity of the corpse?" Norman asked.
"Not sure yet, we'll find out later." Blake replied.
"How's the appraisal going?" Blake asked the officer who was taking the photo.
"The forensics department is still on their way." The officer shrugged helplessly.
"I've been waiting for an hour!" Blake exclaimed, dissatisfied, "This damn rainstorm is going to wash all the clues away, and we have to hurry." ”
Blake walked around to check the officers searching for clues, and Norman followed him and asked, "Is the cause of the victim's death clear?" ”
"There were no external injuries, probably drowning, just like the previous children." Blake said.
"Are there any witnesses?" Norman continued to ask.
"I haven't found it yet, judging from the environment here, it's strange that there are witnesses..."
Blake told the officer in charge of the guard, "Tony, don't let any reporters near the scene, do you understand?" ”
Norman looked around and offered advice to Blake, "There are too many people on the scene, don't worry about damage to the lead?" ”
"You can't find any clues in your office, and you don't know what to do with evidence, even if it's not the FBI."
Norman quickly explained, "Oh, of course, I didn't mean that..."
Blake said impatiently, "I'm sorry, I'm a little busy, can I wait until I get back to the office to discuss it?" ”
Norman was helpless, "I see... Do you mind if I continue to investigate alone? ”
"As you please." Blake left Norman behind and went on, although he couldn't see what he was up to, of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Norman, "Hey, tell me whatever you find, OK?" We're in this group now. ”
Norman put on his sunglasses and gloves again, and a light screen popped up above the sunglasses.
A band of green light appeared on the light screen, pointing towards the tent where the corpse was kept, and ARI revealed: "There was orchid pollen in the air, which was rapidly decreasing due to the rain, but increasing in height as we got closer to the corpse." The ribbon of light formed by the orchid pollen on the light screen continued, extending from the tent to the grass next to it.
Norman walked over to the tent, and something appeared on the light screen, footprints on the ground, and ARI revealed: "Unrelated sample, presumably left by a police officer." ”
MANNO WALKED OVER TO THE GRASS, WHERE THERE WERE RAILROAD TRACKS, AND ARI FOUND A NEW CLUE: "BLOOD WAS FOUND ON THE TRACKS. Manno dipped a little blood in his gloved right hand, and ARI quickly gave the result: "Blood reports show a long period of exhaustion. ”
Along the direction of the railroad tracks, ARI found footprints again. Manno said to himself, "This footprint is in the same direction as the pollen spreads, and maybe it can lead us to the murderer." ”
Norman followed the footprints and saw a fence on which a cloud of blood was found. Behind the fence was a steep slope, and Norman climbed up with his hands and feet to the side of the highway, and then he found more footprints.
Norman muttered to himself, "What a good opportunity, maybe it was left by the origami murderer." After walking a short distance along the footprints, he found the tire prints of the car, and after the footprints coincided with the tire prints, the footprints were gone, only the tire prints remained.
"Maybe this was left behind by the murderer's car", Norman walked along the tire prints to the highway, where the tire prints disappeared. There were a lot of passing cars, and Norman was splashed with rain, and after collecting samples, Norman returned to the scene below.
Norman's investigation was not over, he opened the tent where the body was kept, and after some observation, ARI gave a preliminary report: "The deceased was on his back and showed no signs of violent assault. An orchid was placed on the victim's chest, and the deceased was holding a small origami in his right hand... Judging by the degree of grip of the hand, it was forcibly held after death. ”
After a pause, the ARI report was updated: "The victim's name is Jeremy. Bowers, who disappeared five days ago and has been missing ever since, can be found in the reference file. His face was also covered in mud, similar to the other victims... There is an abrasion on the surface of the right knee, which is consistent with blood on the face. ”
At this point in the investigation, Norman returned to his car, and as soon as the car keys were inserted, suddenly his body shook violently, and the whole person collapsed in the driver's seat as if his muscles were spasmed, and after a short while, he quickly regained his composure.
Norman struggled to get up, but his body still seemed to be a little disobedient, and his right hand was still shaking.
"Damn side effects, it's like this every time you use ARI, demonic curse," Norman grumbled resentfully, his breathing getting heavy again, and his right hand trembling even more, only this time his body didn't shake.
Norman looked pained and confused, his dull eyes even more confused, and he reached into his pants pocket with trembling hands and pulled out the potion that had been blue.
Players can see the label on the potion, which has no name, only a line of words "Poison (product): nerve anesthetic". It seems that Norman intends to use this potion to relieve his pain.
Then, the scene paused, and Steward Wang appeared, "Hello everyone, we meet again, and it's time for you to make your choice, please listen to the question clearly, 'Do you use potions?' If you select Yes, press 'Yes', and if you select No, press 'No', and make your choice within 3 minutes. ”
This time the choice didn't seem to be difficult, because the players knew that it was a poison, and there was almost no need to argue that everyone would subconsciously choose 'no'.
At the end of the three minutes, the selection result is announced, 42 to 7, and the victory is chosen 'No'.
"Someone chose 'yes'?! Is it deliberately against everyone? "Some players complained with bad faces. In the second phase of the mission, the interests of the participating players are bound together, and it will be very uncomfortable if there is the kind of person who harms others and does not benefit himself among the forty-nine players.
However, the next plot progression surprised everyone.
