Chapter 38: Serial Disappearances
"So you're saying it's all something that can be arranged, and the Shadow Fiend is just a pawn to be used."
"Obviously." Idaki squeezed her shoulders and said
And Lie Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Uh, I really didn't expect this first task to be so complicated, but what surprised me even more is that you are really efficient,, no wonder you escaped so quickly at the opening ceremony, it turned out to be to find information, so it seems that you didn't come back all night when I helped you drive away the little clone of the Shadow Demon, I thought you were angry, but you should go to the Shadow Demon to settle accounts."
"Sort of," Idaki said jokingly
"It seems that you are getting more and more upright, and it is not wrong to think about it, you and I are getting more and more tacit."
"Hey~ Do you think I want to, if I wasn't tied up with you, I wouldn't have to do this now, it seems that I have to watch more closely in the future, lest I don't know what you did"
Lie Yu was no longer surprised by Idaqi's first slash and then play, he had long thought that Idaqi must have done something in the invisible place, but he didn't expect her to be so efficient.
Lie Yu complained about Idaqi in his heart, but he didn't forget what was going on, so he put forward a hypothesis
"Now let's get back to the point, your conjecture is not impossible, but there is a lack of actual evidence, in case it is just a coincidence that Song Ya happens to be a student of the third middle school, then your theory is not valid?"
"No, I'm sure of that, and of course it can be ruled out that it may be a trap set by the Shadow Demon himself, but the origin fragments that appeared on the Shadow Demon's body later are even more coincidental and also confirm my suspicions."
"Hmm~ Why? According to your father, most of the pieces are concentrated on Earth, is it difficult for Shadow Fiend to find one? ”
Lie Yu only knew that the fragment really existed after this incident, so it was not very clear how difficult this fragment was to find, and even Idaqi had only found 5 pieces of truth after so many years, and Edaki could only shake his head helplessly for Lie Yu's ignorance.
"Hey~ Do you really think that the fragment is easy to find, let's not talk about whether the Shadow Demon found the fragment on his own, he was crazy before he blew himself up, obviously he didn't understand the consequences of using the fragment directly, it is impossible for a guy who pursues the power of fragmentation not to know the consequences of rashly using the power of fragmentation, then it is certain that this fragment was given to him by someone for some purpose."
When Idaqi said this, Lie Yu finally remembered, when he first came into contact with the fragment, he knew that he would definitely have to deal with it in the future, so he learned about it with Idaqi, and only then did he know that the power of the fragment was useful.
It also mutilates the host itself when it lends its power, and as a price for using its power, most people lose their lives as a result, and in order to avoid this, those who pursue fragmentary power will always find some way to counteract the side effects.
But the Shadow Fiend didn't know anything about it, so it could be seen from this that someone must have given it to him, and when he thought of this, he understood the meaning of Idaqi's words, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid.
One is a coincidence, two are accidental, and the other three must be inevitable, someone is behind it and it is certain that it is against them.
"If someone really deliberately played tricks behind his back, then this person must have come to Earth earlier than us, and he knows a lot of insider information about the interstellar prison escape," Lie Yu guessed
"I thought you'd have forgotten the clues that Shadow Fiend had said, but I guess the guy hiding behind his back knows what I want, and can almost see his painstaking plan as giving away the head and equipment, he's provoking me, and he knows that I'll soon be able to see through it, so I guess he only has two options, either expose it to us or run away with his tail between his legs." ”
As she spoke, her smile became more and more presumptuous, and Lie Yu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it didn't take long for Edaki to start reviewing what happened before, and she had calculated so much based on intuition and details alone, what a terrible guy, Lie Yu thought so, but for some reason he suddenly reached out and pinched Idaqi's cheek
Somewhat puzzled, Adaki asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I think it's time for you to stop"
'It's already over'
This is Lie Yu's current thoughts, I don't know why he feels that Idaki is getting more and more demonic, and he has to do something to make her stop, so Lie Yu tried the simplest and crudest way, but it was unexpectedly effective.
Ai Daqi was stunned for a moment before she let Lie Yu let go of her hand, exhaled, and said, "Okay, it's time for me to stop." ”
Idaqi's state finally calmed down, and Lie Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but soon with the push of a message, the tranquility of the moment was broken, and he suddenly smiled after reading the information through the electronic blindfold
"According to the news from the aftermath team, a member of the aftermath team in charge of the aftermath work in the area was attacked by unknown people, and although he has escaped, he is still in the hospital."
At this time, Hou Lieyu knew that it was not himself who stopped Idaqi, but a sudden news, and he knew the importance of this news with a little regret, so he asked seriously
"When"
"Two days ago," Adaqi's voice came out of the TV as soon as she finished speaking, causing both of them to look at the TV
"Welcome to watch the local news, the following is a flash two days ago, the city's ordinary citizen Xie was attacked by an unknown person on the way home, although he has been out of danger of life but is still in a coma in the hospital, the local public security believes that Mr. Xie was attacked may be related to the recent serial disappearances, and has now visited the door to verify, if there is new news, the station will follow up and report...... Although it was only for that moment, Ai Daqi still recognized the figure of Officer Liao Yinan Liao on TV, and it seems that this case should have reached a dead end.
The special case team of the criminal investigation department of the police station fell into a dead silence because of a troublesome case, and Hu Youwei, as the chief of the local police department, sat in the first seat and sighed as he watched the investigation team formed for this serial disappearance case, and he finally couldn't hold back under the huge pressure.
"The case I handed over to you has happened six times since it was filed, but you have not made any progress at all, look at your efficiency! The people above have already made a report, if the case is not closed next week, we won't need to investigate!! ”
"This terrible case is almost impossible to hide from the upper echelons, do you know how much panic it will cause if it is known by the public!! Yes! ”
Minister Hu knocked on the table with his right index finger and reprimanded loudly, six cases of malicious disappearance in a row are not a trivial matter, and the slightest unfavorable news can easily cause social panic, because the victim group is not fixed according to the current clues, but now there are no clues at all, how can the case be closed next week. Although this is something that everyone present knows, no one dares to tell him that the case has no clue at all, which is shameful enough.
At this time, Officer Liao, who was the main person in charge of this case, stood up, and she said awe-inspiringly: "I'm sorry, as the captain of the criminal investigation team, it is my dereliction of duty that there is no progress in this case, and I and the team members will definitely step up the investigation and strive to let the truth come out as soon as possible."
Director Hu looked at Officer Liao, who had released some anger just now, had calmed down, but he still sighed helplessly
"Officer Liao, I appreciate your meticulous attitude, but I only look at the results above, and I can only help you get a deadline until next week, and you will know the consequences before the case is closed by then."
"Yes, Director," Officer Liao replied calmly
"So be it, adjournment"
Director Hu finally let this suffocating meeting end, and after Director Hu left, Liao Yinan immediately reassigned tasks for the team members.
"Xiao Jingling and Dong Wei, the two of you are doing an on-site forensics and trying to find new clues"
"Yes, captain" Xiao Jingling, who was small and thin, but was extremely powerful, immediately stood up and walked out, "Xu Zhengnian, you are responsible for combing through the case and trying to find out what the victims have in common, and Xu Wen is responsible for searching for suspicious news about the victim on the Internet"
"Okay, captain" The slightly chubby Xu Zhengnian and the thin Xu Wen also went out of the door one after the other, and walked in the direction of the computer room.
