Chapter 81: Silent Evidence

There is a way that once you are born, two times cooked, and three times can be comfortable, and the first time you enter, there may be a lot of resistance, but the second time it is much smoother, which is the truth of this hacker.

With the backdoor left last time, it will not be so difficult to enter the insane asylum system this time, and there is no need to remotely control the old man to go all the way to the human server to do it.

Directly through the screen projection laptop computer mounted on the old man's glove, Chu Cheng quickly found out the relevant background of this incident.

The agent in charge of the incident is still investigating, but it has been preliminarily concluded that the incident should be a vector-type infection, and the means of infection are through the tentacles that Chu Cheng saw in the bubble tea shop and the disgusting weird milk tea.

However, this type of infection cannot be transmitted in a manner similar to airborne transmission, and the vector must be taken orally by the target to be infected. Therefore, it is estimated that the tentacle snack they provide or the cup of liquid that looks evil at first glance should be swallowed to have an effect.

When he saw this, Chu Chengren was a little confused. Because although everyone's tastes are as strange as the XP system, there are also some people with strange hobbies.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the convulsive tentacles and the foul-smelling liquid didn't look like they could swallow at all, which made him deeply doubt whether someone really had the source of the infection.

But on second thought, he really saw a lot of infected people in the store tonight. As a result, Chu Cheng began to have a certain degree of doubt about contemporary people's preferences for food choices after the XP system.

However, he soon saw the additional instructions. That is, while the tentacles and viscous liquid may only seem like sans on the surface, they can be very tempting delicacies in the eyes of the bewitched target.

It felt like Grandma Qiao was relying on the Dafa of changing her head to fool people into running offline, and when she got to the room, she found that the car door had been welded shut when she was about a tank, and he had no choice but to press the F key with humiliation and pain.

Therefore, if there is any inspiration from this incident, it is that in these years, what you hear is false, but what you see is not necessarily true. Sometimes what you think is fresh lamb may have already been rolled up, and what you think is a country road may also be a toll highway.

The source of infection is still under investigation. It has been confirmed that the infected people are basically the clerks and customers that Chu Cheng encountered in the store, and the source of infection is still being investigated.

Another point worth noting is that the owner of the bubble tea shop disappeared a few days ago.

The Sheriff's Department has been notified of the case and has sent a sheriff to investigate, but there seems to be no progress so far. This incident may have been just an ordinary disappearance case, and it couldn't be dealt with by the nine of them. But combined with the infection accident that occurred in the bubble tea shop, this disappearance case suddenly became intriguing.

The detectives in charge of the investigation of the nine departments also included the investigation of the disappearance on the itinerary as a matter of course, and their next stop after the investigation of the bubble tea shop was the residence of the owner of the bubble tea shop.

So Chu Cheng decided to go to that address before they did.

Batman was quick to get into action. Black bats silently swept through the night, leaping over the city to locked neighborhoods.

The owner of the bubble tea shop is named Yoshimura and lives in a townhouse. The area is not large, about 60 square meters, and the scanning of the detective mode quickly figured out the structure of the entire building, and it did reflect that it was empty.

Ordinary marble locks are almost equal to none in front of Batman. Batman easily pried open the door and stepped on the fluffy carpet and stepped inside.

The Sheriff's Office reported that the Yoshimura couple lived and were last seen by a neighbor. When they came home that night, they happened to meet a neighbor who came downstairs to throw out the garbage, and the neighbor was very sure that he saw them enter the house. Then the next day, neither of them went to work.

No one knows what happened when they got home that night, but they all disappeared that night.

Maybe it's because it's been too many days, unlike the last time Agent Luo was tracked down within a day, there are many clues and traces that can be scanned. Many traces may be faded by time, or obscured by more new traces. So the longer you scan, the fewer traces you can scan.

Still, Batman made a discovery in this room.

Of course, to be precise, it's Batman's discovery. Because in detective mode, the traces or objects that Batman feels suspicious after seeing them are marked with eye-catching colors, and Chu Cheng, as a player, just follow the guidance of the master.

So for him, it's not so much a detective game as it is a variant of "finding the difference". He had to find the marks and objects marked by the old man in the scene, and try to connect them and think about what they meant.

First of all, the first traces that were noticed were in the kitchen sink.

The edge of the sink drain is marked by Detective Mode with an inconspicuous trace of orange red, scattered around the perimeter of the drain like a fluorescent, looking like a few splattered drops of orange juice.

Chu Cheng entered the detective mode for the first perspective, held down the mouse and scanned, and soon the bat computer fed back the comparison results.

This is a reaction similar to the tentacles and viscous liquids in the bubble tea shop, maybe something similar has been placed in this sink, or maybe a similar liquid has been poured out of this drain.

At the very least, it's enough to prove that a similar infection vector did appear in this home. Combined with the characteristics of the medium in the bubble tea shop, and the location of the reaction of the infected agent is the kitchen sink, it is likely that someone used the infected agent as an ingredient when cooking.

In all probability, both of them have become infected.

But that doesn't explain why they're missing or where they've gone.

Chu Cheng finished the scan and exited the first perspective, continuing to observe in detective mode.

The empty house seemed to tell a terrifying story silently, and the cold wind of the night blew the windows creaked.

Batman opens the cupboard, and the cool color of Detective mode reveals another object marked orange.

Chu Cheng manipulated Batman to pick up the object and look at it twice. It was a very small cup, but it looked like an ordinary cup, and it had a very cartoonish pattern on it, probably for a child.

But it looks like an ordinary children's porcelain cup, and it doesn't look like anything noteworthy......

Then it was as if he suddenly realized something.

According to the information, only the Yoshimura couple lived in the house, and it was clearly written that they had no children.

But the cup looks like it's clearly for a child.

The reason why this cup is marked in Detective Mode means that it makes Batman feel suspicious.

Of course, just a children's cup doesn't mean much by itself, and no one says that adults can't use it. But if you combine it with other clues, it might tell the story.

For example, under the same Detective Mode marker, Batman found two adult and one child's toothbrush for a total of three toothbrushes by the sink.

Another example is the bowl commonly used for eating, a large bowl with a medium-sized bowl, and the innermost is also a children's bowl with a cartoon pattern.

And so on and so forth.

It was as if the house was silently telling him that there was not only a husband and wife living here, but also a child.

An unidentified child.

Chu Cheng re-entered the scanning mode from the first perspective. Batman can try to extract DNA data from bowls, cups, toothbrushes, and commonly used combs. The bat computer can call the database of the ninth secret service, and if the corresponding DNA data is recorded in the database, the identity of the child can be locked as long as it is compared with the bat computer.

But just as Chu Cheng was about to start scanning, the picture suddenly popped up automatically from the first perspective.

A blunt sound came from the side of the house, and a burly figure burst through the wall, with a dangerous bright red exclamation mark on its head, and lunged at Batman with teeth and claws.
