PS: Judging from the current situation of the strips, it is a pity that the double watch on Sunday has to be changed to a single change, after all, the family is under great pressure, and the strip has to be busy with the second interview, and even more busy things need to be done in the future.
Ignoring Feng Longde's actions for the time being, the camera turned back to the electronic analysis room on the second floor of the Tokushima City Public Security Bureau.
"What's your progress?" Peng Mengdie walked in, approaching a large electronic screen, "Listen to you, you have found some clues?"
"That's right, Captain, please look at the big screen. One of the team members nodded, then returned to his seat and began to operate the keyboard.
The electronic screen began to play the video of the nightclub's surveillance equipment: in the slightly blurry video, a crack suddenly appeared at the entrance of the stage after the host said something, and even from the angle of the camera, there were two bows tied in the crack, and there was a different space full of eyeballs in the crack.
"I've analyzed it, it's a spatial rift. Although I don't have any theory to prove it, this sight is enough. A team member dressed as a bespectacled researcher stepped forward and pointed to the screen, as the footage began to play A Crusader knight and what appeared to be a woman in armor stepped out of the crack, "Look at this - two people who are completely out of the fashion of this era suddenly appeared, and they were extremely shocked by what they saw and how the audience reacted when they saw them, indicating that those two people had two possible identities. β
"What are the two guesses?" If Peng Mengdie was the previous character, she would have to punch and kick him, but the matter of Qixing Mountain more or less restrained her.
"First, these two people may be the accident makers of Qixing Mountain. Peng Mengdie's words shocked Peng Mengdie, but his words after that calmed her down a lot: "But this doesn't make sense in common sense - it's been more than five months since October, why do they still have to come here? Not to mention whether they have the technology to cross space, even if they do, they shouldn't appear in public so high-sounding, right?" And this can't be explained by any technical mistake they made, and no occult force in the world as we know it would make such a low-level mistake. β
"Well, what about the second possibility?"
The second possibility is more sensational, but I personally think it's the most plausible explanation. The research team member pointed to the electronic screen again, which began to play the Crusader knight jumping off the stage and pushing the crowd to find her way out, while the woman silently blended into the crowd and quickly lost her figure, "Pause, let's not look at the Crusader knight yet, look at this woman - she disappeared instantly after blending into the crowd, note, she disappeared instantly, the camera didn't capture any trace of her disappearing." β
"What do you mean?" Peng Mengdie frowned, she didn't quite understand what the team member was trying to say.
"I mean, this woman is most likely a paranormal. The research team member had a serious expression, "I'm afraid her ability is similar to the ability to distort light or chameleon, or according to the classification of Europe and the United States, she may also be a natural magician" After speaking, he asked the team member in charge of playing the video to continue working, and then pointed to the image of the Crusader knight and continued: " Look, this crusader knight is very calm in the face of the siege of the thugs, when he is not using a weapon in front of us, we can see that his body strength is very strong, he can blow a strong man away with a single punch, and he can be punched without pain; when using weapons, his skills are very neat, almost killing a thug or incapacitating him with a single move, and the style of combat is obviously a European style of play that only a seasoned soldier or a specialized combat expert will study; finally he broke out of the nightclub alone, and then disappeared into the alley and did not know what to doγ β
"Having said all that, what is your conclusion? Peng Mengdie was almost a little drowsy when she heard his words, and ordered impatiently: "Tell the point." β
"I suspect" the research team member pondered for a while, and then said word by word: "Those two people should really come from one of the Middle Ages, that is, they are living 'time-travelers'." β
"What?!" Not only Peng Mengdie, but almost everyone was shocked, "You're not kidding, are you?!"
"I'm not in the mood for a joke. The research team members glared at everyone, "There is almost no possibility that they are the hostile forces of the Seven Star Mountain, and in terms of common sense, which supernatural force or organization will not rely on modern technological items at all but use medieval weapons and equipment to operate? This even excludes the possibility that they are other foreign supernatural organizations and troops, then their only possible identity is a person from a past time and space." He pointed to the electronic screen, and asked the video to be redirected to when the two first appeared, and then enlarged their images, "Have you noticed: they are all heavy chain mail and Gothic plate armor, and they are all wearing burqas and capes with black crosses on a white background; β
"Really?" Peng Mengdie looked at him with suspicion, the conclusion of the research team member sounded too ridiculous after all, "Even if we are in charge of supernatural affairs, this conclusion is too absurd, right? β
Peng Mengdie's words made all the team members secretly scoff: If you work in the National Paranormal Investigation and Coordination Bureau or a supernatural department like that, you have to be aware of the instability of your three views or the collapse of your worldview at any time. Although his colleague said it was ridiculous, it could not be denied that it was reasonable, and it was this pampered eldest lady who would make such remarks that made the old members disdainful.
"Captain, do you know the Catholic Pope Julius III?" the research-type member asked unceremoniously as he sighed in his heart which brain-dead guy would send this master to the investigation detachment as the detachment leader.
"I don't know, I'm not a Catholic, besides," Peng Mengdie replied nonchalantly, her tone sounding like she didn't care about other people's feelings, "What is Catholicism?
Now she offended a third of the members of the team - although the Chinese people are less religious, the guys in the supernatural organization are basically followers of a certain religion, and it just so happens that the investigation team is a third of the Catholics, and a quarter of the Protestants
"He was a pope who was in office in the late Middle Ages and had a strain on monastic discipline, and he was less famous in history. The research team member glared at Peng Mengdie quietly, his cross pendant looming at the collar, "But he famously said, 'You know, child, we know almost nothing about the mystical laws that govern this world. This statement is not useless even now, and I would like to advise you that the world is far from being able to interpret it precisely. β
"Okay" Peng Mengdie saw the annoyed eyes of the team members and realized that she might have said something wrong, and nodded hurriedly: "But the problem is that we can't figure out their identities, but as long as we catch them, not only can we close the case, but we can also be regarded as completing the task." Do you have an idea?"
"Captain, I have an idea, I don't know if to talk about it. Just as everyone was about to play the video on the other end, a young player asked.
"You say. Peng Mengdie nodded.
"Captain, I just received the latest notice from above, please let everyone read it. The young team member was in charge of receiving the instructions, he connected his mobile phone to the electronic screen, and suddenly a large announcement covered the screen: "Emergency notice, the ancient relics obtained in the Seven Star Mountains have been identified by researchers, and they were born at least two million years ago. Since these scattered items all seem to have been protected by some special energy, the dating will be incorrect, but it will only be older than what we measured. In the same way, the age of the excavated corpses is similar, but it is a pity that the black samurai mentioned in the 'Black Warrior Project' does not know what happened, and it is very likely that they were plundered by hostile forces, and I hope that the detachments will work hard. β
After everyone finished reading the announcement, the young team member said: "Maybe our previous conjecture was wrong, could those two people be those 'black warriors' who disappeared?"
The words of the young team members immediately caused an uproar: because maybe this is the truth!
"Possibly, but the question is how do you explain this?" questioned the team member in charge of controlling the electronic screen, and he played a video of the door: in front of a nightclub, the crowd that had been crowded to run out suddenly dodged around, and a crusader knight ran out. I saw him look around for a short time, and then went straight into an alley, and it wasn't until a few minutes later that a police car drove in with its lights flashing.
"Regardless of whether he is a 'Black Knight' or not, even if he is a Crusader knight who has traveled through the Middle Ages, how can he escape under the siege of a large group of policemen?" the team member asked, and with a movement of his hands, he displayed a local map analysis on the electronic screen, "Look, everyoneβwe analyzed the surveillance in a five-kilometer radius from which this nightclub originated, and we were surprised to find that there was no trace of him, as if he had disappeared as invisibility as the woman. We also watched the previous video, and he doesn't have any special abilities, so it's obvious that he is very familiar with the environment here, and even the surveillance blind spots here are clear!"
"So?" Peng Mengdie asked, propping her hands on the table.
"There are three possibilities, but it's clear that he's also a person who knows the environment, most likely a local. The team member pointed to his head and grinned, "Since I can't tell where he ran from the surveillance video, I directly found all the surveillance blind spots in this area, and it turned out that I really found a lot of things: many of these surveillance dead spots are connected in series, and they can be transferred to other places without being monitored." β
"That is to say, you have deduced the possibility of where they will run from another angle and in the opposite direction?" Peng Mengdie's eyes lit up, "What are the places?"
"I broadened my search and found three possible locations. "The first is Tokushima High School, a well-known local private university, the second is a Junker nobleman's mansion when Qinghai Province was leased by Germany at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the third is a slightly more unusual private suburban villa called Xie Yu, and there are no other possible locations." Lao Xing, the next thing is your business. β
"Okay. We've all looked into all three of these locations and found that all of them are suspicious. The player known as Lao Xing nodded steadily, " Tokushima High School itself is nothing, but there is an iron-blooded society in this school with a cluster of medieval enthusiasts, and it is possible that one of them uses this as a cover for his identity; that mansion was transferred by the original owner to a native German family surnamed Feng during the Republic of China, and the local Catholic Church background family experienced the founding of the country and the special period and then completely declined, and now the whole family is left with only a German young man named Feng Longde who lives there, and he is also a student of Tokushima High School, and he is also one of the founders of the iron-blooded societyγ β
"So, this young German named Feng Longde is the most suspicious?" Peng Mengdie asked with interest.
"That's right, we also checked the third possibility location for insurance, but found out that it was just a private villa of a rich second generation who was extremely conceited, and that guy appeared in the most glamorous place in the business district every day, and he was not present to prove Ganggang. Lao Xing nodded, "But what we suspect is that the young German is unlikely to be the suspect - on the contrary, he is likely to be a puppet in the hands of the real suspect, used as a cover to hide his identity and actions, while the real culprit is hidden in the shadow behind him." β
"So where do you think we should go first?"
"Tokushima High School doesn't need to go at all, it's useless except to learn more detailed information about the Iron Will, and we don't need to know the history of the founding of a medieval club. Lao Xing touched his sideburns, "There are no clues at all in the third place, what we need to do is to raid the mansion tonight, capture the suspect and rescue civilians, maybe this kind of arrest without specific evidence does not meet the regulations, but does an action unit like ours need to bring a search warrant or an arrest warrant?"
"That's right. Peng Mengdie clapped her hands and began to give orders: "All the staff are ready to go out at nine o'clock tonight." To ensure first-time success, all are armed with electromagnetic weapons and psychic jammers, and try not to harm civilians and possible hostages. β
"Yes, Captain!"
