Chapter 005: Cooperation (Asking for Collection~Asking for Tickets~)
In the confusion and nightmares, I don't know how long it took, Xu Can slowly opened his heavy eyelids on the bed in the detention room of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau.
The sun was shining outside the bars of the detention cell, and it was early afternoon, and it was obvious that Xu Can had slept for more than ten hours.
The first moment he woke up, a fragrant smell of instant noodles rushed into Xu Can's nose.
"My brother, I'm finally awake."
"I almost thought you were sleeping!"
A familiar voice came in his ears, Xu Can rubbed his head, sat up from the bed with himself, and happened to see Jiang Shen swallowing fragrant instant noodles, and Xu Can, who had not eaten for more than ten hours, suddenly screamed in his stomach.
Xu Can subconsciously looked around and confirmed that he was still in the detention room of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, which had simple facilities, only a small table and bed for eating and writing.
Yesterday, Xu Can fell asleep after being brought in by investigator Lu Kai, and has slept until now.
"You were summoned?"
"Ziyo-"
After everything yesterday, Xu Can obviously calmed down a lot, got up and snatched Jiang Shen's instant noodles decisively, and took two sips violently.
"You're a suspect, that's for sure."
"I, Nima, was scared to pee yesterday, and I almost thought you were a serial murderer, so I sent you to burn two sticks of incense, thank you for not killing."
Halfway through Jiang Shen's words, he subconsciously touched his pocket, and scolded angrily after realizing that he didn't bring a lollipop.
"Damn!"
"I'm in a hurry, I didn't bring a lollipop."
Xu Can, who was chattering, rolled his eyes, when did he still have the heart to laugh.
However, Jiang Shen has always been this character, and he is three years older than Xu Can in age, but he can't see it at all.
"What did you say last night?"
Jiang Shen shrugged his shoulders, sat on the edge of the bed and replied:
"You're not a murderer, I'm sure I'm telling the truth."
"But what the hell is going on now, I heard that you appeared at the crime scene, are you confirmed?"
Xu Can raised his head, recalled yesterday's picture, nodded with a serious expression:
"Well, it's me."
"I haven't changed my clothes, that's it."
Hearing Xu Can's affirmative reply, Jiang Shen thought for a few seconds, then chuckled and snorted:
"Humph......"
"The Bureau of Anomalous Investigation is probably going to look for you soon."
Xu Can finished pulling the last bite of instant noodles, looked at Jiang Shen, and said:
"Do you think the S.C.I will ask me to go directly to the crime scene to solve the crime?"
Jiang Shen's expression gradually became serious, and he said:
"Nine times out of ten."
"Why don't you explain to me why you're there?"
"Besides, you can only clear your suspicions in this way, if the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation can't find other clues, you are the real number one suspect, and the evidence is ironclad."
"Volcano, you should know ......"
Xu Can saw Jiang Shen's eyes, his heart sank, and he naturally knew what Jiang Shen meant.
They have no idea what the Bureau of Diversity does.
Let's not talk about other aspects, let's just say that with this one piece of evidence now, it is enough to sentence Xu Can to death, and it is enough to calm all public opinion.
Even if Xu Can shouts 10,000 times that he has been wronged, the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, coupled with the media's polishing and publicity, how many people will believe it?
Superpower crime cases are fundamentally different from ordinary crime cases, and the evidence can only be used as a reference for one side.
"I know."
"If the Bureau of Anomalies asks me to cooperate, I will definitely cooperate."
Jiang Shen's expression was a little worried:
"Are you okay?"
Xu Can smiled bitterly, "If you can't do it, you have to do it." ”
Regarding Xu Can's ability to travel through time and space, Jiang Shen can be said to be quite familiar with it.
The farther away from the present time, the longer Xu Can can stay in the past, and the stronger the stability of the space-time channel, after the time travel, the spiritual backlash will not be so terrifying.
But if it is to travel back to three days ago, five days ago, with Xu Can's ability strength it won't last long at all, and the mental backlash will be extremely serious, and the specific reason Xu Can doesn't know for the time being.
Therefore, Jiang Shen will carry out strict screening when he uses the account of [Prophet] to take orders on the Stranger website, and the frequency is already quite low in the future.
……
In the team leader's office, Li Wu, who was thinking about the case, was pacing slowly.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Click.
"Head, it's all done."
Lu Kai entered the room with a stack of materials and reported to Li Wu.
As a henchman under Li Wu, the young and capable young investigator Lu Kai is deeply trusted, and his foundation is very clean, and his father is also a former S.C.I investigator.
"Well, Xu Can's ability sequence can't be circulated, and I'll deal with it over there."
Li Wu bowed slightly, then raised his head and asked:
"Is there any progress on the case?"
Lu Kai nodded hurriedly, flipped through the information in his hand and reported:
"Hmm."
"It is confirmed that the three deceased, Chen Lei, Jiang Mingyue, and Zheng Ying, have all destroyed other people's families."
Li Wu's face was grim and said:
"Go on."
Lu Kai continued to report:
"Chen Lei is the secretary of Lvhua Group, and after investigation, it was found that she had an improper relationship with Qian Ning, the general manager of Lvhua Group, and the house under her name was also bought by Qian Ning."
"The second deceased, Jiang Mingyue, a sophomore college student, was also taken care of after investigation, and was the director of Jianghai University, Yao Yueqiang."
"The third deceased, Zheng Ying, who just appeared, has been hanging out in bars all year round and has a chaotic private life."
Li Wu leaned on the table, lit a cigarette and listened to Lu Kai's case report.
"We have investigated and interrogated Qian Ning and Yao Yueqiang themselves and their family members before, and basically ruled out the possibility of buying a murder, and found no traces."
"The third deceased, Zheng Ying's private life is too chaotic, Xiao Fang and they have already brought people over, and they are still investigating, but they will be afraid of ...... for a while."
"Head, I think this time it's a scavenger-type murderer, and it's very likely that he will retaliate if he encounters family destruction."
Lu Kai speculated.
"Scavengers" in this day and age represent the kind of people who believe that the law cannot punish the bad guys and impose coercive sanctions.
Because of the emergence of superpowers, the power imbalance under the urban system has been imbalanced, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have the strength to resist the superpowers.
From one point of view, this kind of scavenger murderer makes the cost of crime extremely high for ordinary people.
For example, the sensational "scavenger case" before, in which a criminal who was full of evil was killed by a mysterious "scavenger" shortly after serving his sentence and being released from prison, which sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
Some netizens were happy because the criminal showed no remorse after he was released from prison.
Of course, there will also be netizens who oppose this kind of sanction that violates the Convention of the Alien.
Judging from the overall social trend, the emergence of the supernatural has actually greatly reduced the number of crimes committed by ordinary people.
Jingle Bell –
Jingle Bell –
Just as Li Wu was about to say something, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Li Wu quickly picked up the call after seeing it, and said with a serious face:
"Hello?"
"Uncle Kang, how is it?"
On the other end of the phone was Chen Jikang, the deputy leader of the Seven Abnormal Groups, who was over forty years old and one of the real veterans of the Seven Groups.
Now he is maneuvering around the General Bureau to buy time for the seven groups to solve the case.
For several cases in Luohe District, the S.C.I. General Administration is highly concerned.
"Hmm...... Well...... Good. ”
"I see."
"Okay."
Li Wu kept answering, and after hanging up the phone, his right hand was still clenched tightly.
"Head, what did Uncle Kang say?"
Li Wu frowned and said:
"Five days at most."
Chen Jikang almost vouched for his position, and only then did he win five days for the seventh group to solve the case.
The Keluohe District is not full of surveillance probes like the rich area, and it is difficult to investigate the case, and this time the murderer's anti-reconnaissance awareness is very strong, and it is more difficult.
"Where's Xu Can?"
"Awake, still in the detention cell."
"Bring him to me."
"Okay."
……
No matter from which point of view, Xu Can's words alone can't clear his suspicion at all.
The entire Seven Groups of Heterogeneous Tunes has always adhered to the principle of "not wronging a good person, not letting go of a bad person", and it is impossible to convict Xu Canqiang in order to calm social public opinion, which is tantamount to letting the murderer go unpunished, and maybe he will shoot in the future, at that time it is equivalent to slapping himself in the face.
After yesterday's secret conversation with Luo Dongyang, Li Wu was even more convinced that Xu Can was not the murderer.
Since it was fate to let Xu Can return to the scene of the crime, and it could help the case most directly, Li Wu had no reason to reject it.
"Head, the man brought it."
"Hmm."
The office door opened, and Xu Can, who was still wearing an "energy-suppressing handcuff ring", pushed the door in, and his expression was not surprised.
"Sit down, don't be inhibited."
Li Wu poured Xu Can a glass of water and pointed to the chair in front of the desk.
Xu Can pulled out a chair and sat down, and Li Wu pushed over a folder, which contained information about the murder.
"Xu Can, the Anomaly Bureau wants to cooperate with you once."
"Catch the real killer and clear your name at the same time."
Li Wu didn't make a detour, and said directly.
"Okay."
"What am I going to do?"
Xu Can didn't hesitate, as early as when he was in the detention cell, he knew that he had no other choice but to cooperate with the Heterogeneous Bureau.
"You take a look at the case first."
Xu Can took a deep breath, endured his mental exhaustion, and opened the case information full of bloody pictures and still analyzed the case.
Coming into contact with this kind of bloody corpse picture for the first time was also a huge challenge for Xu Can, and even a little physiologically disgusting.
As he read page by page, Xu Can gradually understood the full picture of the three cases.
"I see."
Xu Can observed the specific crime locations and nearby terrain of the three cases, and was probably able to guess why he chose the crime scene of the third case, Zheng Ying's case.
Seeing that Xu Can had roughly finished reading, Li Wu asked:
"Before I make a plan, I'd like to know more about your abilities."
"Okay, just ask."
"Is history inevitable?"
"Now, for example, if the Bureau of Anomalies chooses not to cooperate with you, won't you show up at the scene of the crime?"
Hearing Li Wu's doubts, Xu Can shook his head helplessly and said:
"I don't know, as I know it now, it might be."
Li Wu saw that Xu Can didn't know about himself, so he didn't continue to ask on this topic, and continued to ask:
"What are the taboos of time travel."
"Is the item impassable?"
Xu Can thought for a moment:
"Taboo ......"
"There's no taboo, it's just that the closer the time traveled is now, the greater the consumption will be on me."
Hearing this, Li Wu suddenly thought that Xu Can had deliberately skipped the pictures taken and saved in his mobile phone in the last three months when he testified to himself, and chose the detail of the shopping mall map eight months ago, and secretly said that this was the case.
"As for the ...... of items"
"Nothing but my own clothes can be crossed."
Xu Can thought of his previous attempt, shook his head and said.
Whether it's your own phone or something else, you can't take it with you to travel back in time.
As for why clothes can, Xu Can himself doesn't know, Jiang Shen has always joked that the rules of time do not allow nudity!
The reverse is also true, and it is equally impossible to bring objects from the past back to the present.
As for the future, Xu Can has not found any way to travel at present, his time and space travel relies on still images and pictures, how can Xu Can find images and pictures in the future.
"Hmmm......"
Li Wu nodded slightly, feeling a little pity.
If you could bring a few cameras back and install a few directly near the crime scene, wouldn't everything be solved?
The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable.
Li Wu went on to confirm:
"Would you be in danger if you were found by a murderer at the scene of a crime?"
Xu Can shook his head and replied:
"Probably not, I can wear it back at any time."
As for the question of whether to change the course of history, Li Wu didn't ask much, and Xu Can himself at this stage is not very clear.
The appearance of such a special ability, Li Wu will definitely report to the S.C.I General Administration after the case is over.
"Okay, in that case, I need you to go back to the crime scene of Zheng Ying's case!"
……
Outside the team leader's office, Jiang Shen and Lu Kai sat on a bench, and the content of the chat basically revolved around Xu Can's abilities.
After basically confirming that the murderer could not be Xu Can, Lu Kai's hostility towards Xu Can has completely disappeared, and he is more curious about Xu Can's abilities.
Click-
The door of the office opened again, and Li Wu and Xu Can appeared side by side.
At this time, Xu Can's ability cuffs around his neck have been dropped by Li Wu and returned to his normal state.
Li Wu threw the car key to Lu Kai and said:
"Lu Kai, drive, go to the crime scene."
"Oh...... Good! ”
Lu Kai, who was quick-witted, took the key and soon realized that Xu Can had cooperated with the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.
Going to the crime scene now is undoubtedly to help Xu Can familiarize himself with the terrain of the scene in advance.
"What about me?"
Jiang Shen pointed at himself, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Before the case is over, follow along."
For this Jiang Shen, who knows all the secrets of Xu Can, Li Wu has no intention of letting him go back for the time being, and from the information he has found, this kid is not simple, a computer wizard.
After careful discussion with Xu Can, Li Wu knew that Xu Can could not stay at the crime scene for too long, and could not cross continuously, so it was particularly important to choose the time node, location, and target.
"Doodoo-"
When Xu Can followed Li Wu out of the gate of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau, Lu Kai had already driven the car out, Li Wu pulled the door and sat in the co-pilot, Xu Can and Jiang Shen also sat up, and roared towards the crime scene of Zheng Ying's case.
