The slums are quiet at night.

After school, it was already five o'clock, and I went to the Third Ring City to walk around, and the journey before and after took more than an hour, and now it is more than seven o'clock when I come back.

The artificial dome had long since dimmed, and the sparse starlight simulated could only allow Jiang Bai to see a blurred gray and black.

Walking on the road, I don't know why, whether it was Sister Lin at the welfare point before, or what Guoguo said, it was imprinted on Jiang Bai's heart at this moment.

Why don't you go home early recently......

Could it be that the children who were mixed up with the original Jiang Bai?

They are reckless, but at most they are pranks, even if they are teased, it is nothing.

On the contrary, today's encounter made Jiang Bai's heart rise with a little indignation.

The amount of money that can't be spent, no matter how much, is just a number.

Of course, he knew that he could spend it on the black market.

But you can't even use the word "rumor", but most of the merchants on the black market are themselves a shipping channel for those companies.

The normal channels do not sell, but harvest the hard-won energy coins of the poor from the black market at a much higher price for products of the same value.

In fact, it's not just the plight of the poor.

There are also three classes of citizenship, six and nine, and six classes of SABCDE, each of which has its own restrictions.

Citizenship benefits are only available from C level or above, and descendants can be downgraded to inherit the citizenship rank.

These rules and regulations have established a hierarchical social promotion system.

Many people strive to move up, and there are many who do not want to be exploited in other ways.

The slums of the Fourth Ring Road were born out of this system.

Thinking about these messy things in his heart, Jiang Bai didn't care too much about the situation around him.

When passing through an intersection, three figures suddenly jumped out.

Caught off guard, Jiang Bai was pushed away and fell to the ground.

The three figures didn't care about Jiang Bai, and their backs disappeared into the night in a hurry.

Jiang Bai, who came back to his senses, looked at the alley where the three figures were far away, and vaguely saw one of them holding a small silver box in his arms.

Jiang Bai didn't pursue it too much, it was not the first time that those playful children recklessly walked through the streets and alleys like this, and even the former original body was one of them.

However, the next moment, Jiang Bai sniffed, and he smelled something unusual.

Suspiciously, he looked into the alley where the three of them ran out, and Jiang Bai's pupils suddenly dilated in an instant.

The blood meandered into a small snake and crawled on the ground.

The human body lies quietly on the ground, motionless.

The blood gathered under the man's body, as if a shadow deeper than the night had bloomed into a bewitching flower......

[With this amount of bleeding, the person is no longer saved. 】

Jiang Bai stood at the intersection and didn't move for a long time.

It wasn't until a cold wind blew that Jiang Bai's body shook, followed by a strong feeling of dizziness coming over him.

Dead.

It was not for him that he had seen life pass away.

He was beside him when his grandfather and grandmother held his hands and slowly closed their eyes.

I've also seen poor people who have lost their lives wailing in pain under car accidents.

After coming to this era, I have also seen some human bones in the wilderness infested with monsters.

But for the first time, he witnessed a murder.

For the first time, malice from his own clan invaded his marrow and soul like this.

It made him cold all over.

At this moment, he only felt an infinite chill envelop his body, making him shiver involuntarily.

After exhaling lightly, Jiang Bai took some heavy steps and stepped forward.

He wanted to see what those people were for.

After getting closer, Jiang Bai squatted down slightly.

The man was lying on the ground, his face pale and lifeless.

The most conspicuous thing is the large hollow in its chest.

What should have been the place of the heart is now empty.

Is it for the heart?

The medical technology of this era has been able to replace any organ in the human body except the brain.

Jiang Bai's eyes calmly looked up and down, trying to find more details.

There is also a pinhole in the neck that has not yet healed, which should have been injected with a tranquilizer.

So the only good news is...... The man did not feel any pain before he died.

Looking at the man's face, Jiang Bai's mind suddenly appeared with the sound and smile of when he came to pull Jiangshan to play cards yesterday evening.

Uncle Tiezi, is it?

He must be a good friend of his father, right?

Silently taking out his personal terminal, Jiang Bai found the person who seemed to be in contact with him in his life.

"Uncle Lin, I'm going to report the crime."

……

Lin Qiusheng, who was holding a cup of hot tea in the office of the inspection team, trembled, took out his personal terminal, and saw a message that surprised him.

"What do you report?"

"The corridor between the 4th and 5th buildings in the F4 area of the fourth ring road D area...... Someone died. ”

Lin Qiusheng jumped up in an instant and rushed out, and at the same time told Jiang Baidao.

"You go home and hide first, the crime scene is dangerous, I'll be there right away."

"Hmm."

Jiang Bai didn't explain so much, just lightly agreed.

Then he moved to the side, leaned against the corner, and looked at the figure lying on the ground, his eyes gradually empty.

I don't know how long it has been, and the unique alarm bell of the inspection team woke up this quiet archway.

After the red and blue flashing lights illuminated Jiang Bai's field of vision, a concerned voice sounded close to his ears.

"Didn't you go home and wait?"

Jiang Bai blinked and came back to his senses.

Looking at each other, Jiang Bai smiled reluctantly.

"Uncle Lin......"

"It's okay, we'll take care of this matter, you go back and rest."

Lin Qiusheng was joined by two other colleagues from their inspection team.

At this point, they had already begun to get their hands dirty, checking the deceased and all the clues left nearby.

Jiang Bai just glanced at them, and then set his eyes on Lin Qiusheng in front of him again.

"Uncle, has this happened many times recently?"

While he was just waiting, what Guoguo and Sister Lin said came to his mind very clearly.

Obviously, Uncle Tiezi is not the first victim.

Or maybe it won't be the last......

Lin Qiusheng sighed, squatted down, and kept Jiang Bai at the same level.

Facing Jiang Bai's gaze, he explained softly.

"He is the eighteenth...... But it doesn't matter, trust uncle, we will be able to catch the criminals soon. ”

Jiang Bai glanced at the bloody hole in Uncle Tiezi's chest and asked again.

"Does anyone need a heart lately?"

Lin Qiusheng was slightly stunned, a little surprised by the sharpness of this little guy who had never understood it well before.

"I don't know yet."

"He donated blood before he died, and it should be that the murderer is looking for a suitable candidate."

Do you know that too?

Lin Qiusheng was stunned, and suddenly realized that the child in front of him who he watched grow up had really grown up.

"But they didn't collect it with much fanfare, just through the private propaganda of the poor people, who in turn rejected us...... It's hard for us to get the first clues. ”

Jiang Bai nodded and didn't ask any more.

He slapped his ass and stood up.

"I'm going back."

"Go back and get some sleep, forget about it, don't talk nonsense, go home early these days, don't come back so late."

Jiang Bai did not respond, noncommittal.

Just after taking a step, he turned his head to look at Lin Qiusheng again.

"Uncle Lin, will the criminals get the punishment they deserve?"

Facing Jiang Bai's gaze, Lin Qiusheng nodded firmly.

"Yes! Believe in uncle. ”

"All of them?"

"All ......"

Walking around the corner, Jiang Bai took out his personal terminal and began to contact the zoo team.

"Parrot, do you know about the recent deaths in the slums?"
