Chapter 17: She's a Detective
People are nervous and frightened when they talk about it, and the police are under a mountain of pressure.
The school students are resurrected, and the legend of the ghost explodes among the student group. It's just that this atmosphere only lasted for a day or two, and was quickly washed away by the motivation called learning.
There are people in the forum who are keen on this kind of thing, and the more mysterious and exaggerated the topic, the more people say.
Intermediate Soul Master Yao Taro: Your city is about to become famous, Xiao Xinxin.
Intermediate explorer Lin Zexin: Anyway, it's not me who is famous.
Intermediate Soul Master Yao Taro: Aren't you going to take a few real supernatural photos?
Intermediate Explorer Lin Zexin: That's what you soul masters should do.
Senior Soul Master Gio: Don't say that, Brother Lin, you can also act as a publisher, and then we can crack it, or sell us the photo, it's the same.
Intermediate Explorer Lin Zexin: I don't, I don't even know how you guys filmed.
Intermediate Exploration Ninja Lin Yin: Don't tempt us, we won't join forces.
Intermediate Mystery Master Fei Fei: But one thing he said was right, the murderer really came out to commit the crime again.
Intermediate Explorer Lin Zexin: If he stops, will he never be able to catch him?
Intermediate Mystery Master Fei Fei: Even if he continues to commit crimes, we won't be able to catch him. Do you remember the mother-in-law you told me about?
Intermediate Explorer Lin Zexin: What's wrong with her?
Intermediate Mystery Master Fei Fei: She's a spirit detective, she can catch that prisoner.
Intermediate explorer Lin Zexin: Is it really that powerful?
Intermediate Mystery Master Fei Fei: I don't know if she's as good as you say, but it wouldn't hurt to try.
Detective, Linto didn't think about this possibility, but Marianne can only see living souls, and it is impossible to talk to the dead, how will she solve the case?
With doubts in mind, he and Sycocliff went to visit Granny Marianne the next day, and she was knitting a short sweater, steel needles darling through the cracks.
"Mother-in-law, we have something to look for you."
Marianne did not answer, she waited for them to take their guest seats.
"Hmm." "We would like to ask for your assistance in investigating the case," said Linto. ”
Marianne remained silent, and there was no joy or sorrow on her calm face. Linto and Xizi looked at each other, and the latter snuck him with his elbow.
"Mother-in-law?"
"It's been a long time since I've debuted." Marianne finally shook her head slightly, "I probably won't be able to help much. ”
"It's okay, if it's you, you can."
"Yes, mother-in-law, you don't want to see the whole city restless."
Marianne suddenly stopped what she was doing, her gray hair was as soft as cotton, and her tight wrinkles walked on the mountains, rivers and fields, and the haze that shrouded her eyes finally dissipated.
"That's right...... Well, that's what I'm supposed to do. ”
As Marianne said, the cases she solved in the past were usually major homicides, and the police had to ask her to come forward, and she was not required to be involved in such minor accidents.
However, these two cases are extraordinary, and if the culprits are not caught immediately, there will be a bad social impact.
To prevent further developments, Marianne needs to use her other soul abilities.
In fact, she can see not only through the living, but also through the dead. Any process from birth to death has a transition, which we can call the near-death period.
Life is coming to an end, and whether or not we can survive is not only affected by external factors, but also depends on whether people's sense of survival is strong to the greatest extent. The low-probability event of resurrection will impact the brain of the person concerned, and a deep memory impression will appear.
Marianne was able to assist the police in solving the case because she could recreate this memory impression concretely, allowing her to go back in time to the moment before the victim's death.
Therefore, she did not play much role in the first case, because there was no soul left behind at the scene. And several days have passed since the incident, and she can't recreate the scene of that day.
In the second case, Marianne takes the soul back to the time when the patient was removed from the ventilator, and the prisoner must have been present.
Marianne stood alone in the empty hospital room, clutching the golden cross that symbolized the transcendent dead, and carefully repeating some ancient and mysterious incantation in her mouth.
The possibility of interrogating souls was once again proven by her, and even if they died, even if they relied on ideology, they still had the opportunity to confide in the world.
Even though it was only five seconds, she could see clearly that the prisoner jumped out of the window and fled after taking off the respirator. As in the previous case, the prisoners used unlocked windows as access points.
There are no other neighboring buildings outside the window, there is only one wall on the left, and the height of the third floor is still not jumping to death, definitely using some method.
She only relied on her impressions to quickly draw the appearance and characteristics of the prisoner on the white paper in her hand, but in fact, she could not see what the other party looked like, but simply drew the outline of the other party's body.
Despite this, the police shook their heads at the close-up. Using the hospital bed as a reference, it can be seen that the prisoner is nearly 1.8 meters tall, has a strong physique, and is under the age limit of 30, but other than that, no additional information has been left.
At least Marianne did her best to help the police, better than nothing, at least now she could narrow down the search for suspects.
These days, the weather is gradually turning cloudy, the rain and dew are mixed with the smell of fresh mud, and the smoke and dust in the air are getting thicker and thicker.
Seeing that there seemed to be no progress in the incident, Linto was quite helpless. The final image of the soul can only be seen by Marianne, and if anyone else can see it, it can be analyzed.
Her eyes are different from ours in that they can't receive light, so she can't see images of the outside world. On the contrary, her organs are so sensitive that they can detect the fluctuations of life around them, and even an insignificant little ant on the ground has its own deserving light.
A patchwork of self-sensory composite images appeared directly in her brain, in which case it had nothing to do with the retina.
Linto and Figley discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a reason, so they had to go and ask Professor Lin.
"Dad, do you have a device that can extract images from your brain?"
"You're a Doraemon for me, huh? Anything can be conjured up for you. Professor Lin waved his hand and said, "I don't study biological sciences, you can ask others about this kind of thing." ”
"Huh? Is there really none? ”
"Let's go, Lintor, there's no such device."
"However, this time the enemy is very cunning, and I have to rely on my father's scientific powers."
"I think it's okay, there are some things that we can't control, so let's leave them to those adults to do."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Professor Lin suddenly stopped them and said, "Wait a minute, I know a friend who is engaged in biological research, but this person is very stubborn and rarely meets outsiders. ”
"Then we must go and see him, and Dad's friend must be a very outstanding person." Lintor said and walked out.
"Hey! Do you know where he is? ”
"Nonsense, Biology Lab."
