Tokyo, Metropolitan Police Department.

Takaoka Yuto walked into the Metropolitan Police Department calmly and quickly, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw two of his subordinates standing there with anxious faces.

Seeing Takaoka Yuto from a distance, the taller man's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward.

"Section Chief!" Ito Ryo shouted.

Takaoka Yuto pressed down with his right hand and motioned for him to speak quietly: "Be calm, Ito, you don't look like the elite of the headquarters." ”

"I'm so sorry." Ito Liang hurriedly bowed.

At this time, another man wearing glasses also stepped forward.

"Section Chief!"

Takaoka Yuto nodded: "Xiyuan Temple, you can explain the situation." ”

His expression was very calm, and even the heart that was beating with Haixiang of Xiyuan Temple slowly calmed down.

Saionji Kaixiang handed Takaoka Yuto a stack of printouts, took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "It's the 'Snow Girl', and a new victim has appeared." ”

Without turning over the file in his hand, Takaoka Yuto asked in a deep voice towards Saionji Kaixiang, "Still the same death?" ”

"Yes, the deceased's whole body was frozen, and even the water in his body was completely frozen, it was like... Refrigerated specimens that have just been dug up from Antarctica. ”

Saionji Haixiang made a not-so-appropriate analogy, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm sorry, but it looks like that, it's really ...... It's a little incredible. ”

Looking at the depressed appearance of his subordinates, Takaoka Yuto was a little dissatisfied: "I have said many times, there are no monsters in this world, and the 'Snow Girl' is naturally fictional. Although we don't know exactly how the prisoner achieved this effect, as long as we continue to track it down, we will eventually find his flaws.

The reason why the prisoner wants to create the illusion of 'Snow Girl Killing' is precisely to cause panic among people, confuse the police's attention, and thus divert attention from himself. But we are police, the people can panic, we must remain calm and rational, and don't fall into the trap of the criminals, Xiyuan Temple! ”

The Snow Girl Murder Incident is a series of killings that have caused a lot of panic in Tokyo recently, and so far there have been as many as 12 deceased, all of whom were men, all of whom were found dead in an uninhabited alley at dawn, and the death was extremely strange, the whole body froze, and it broke like a popsicle.

The bizarre death and the fact that the Metropolitan Police Department has not been able to locate the suspect so far have inevitably caused panic in society.

When the first deceased appeared, 'Snow Girl Killing' was just a joke on the Internet, but as the death toll increased step by step, and the Metropolitan Police Department didn't even find the slightest clue, 'Snow Girl' was mentioned more and more frequently, and more and more people thought that it was really a monster killing.

The saying of 'Snow Girl Killing' is so loud that even the code name of the case in the Metropolitan Police Department has become 'Snow Girl Serial Murder Incident'.

And as the head of the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Division, Takaoka Yuto naturally doesn't believe in any Snow Maiden or the like, but he doesn't know the criminal's murder methods for the time being, and he has also criticized the subordinates who have wavered in the class, just like this time.

However, this time, Saionji Haixiang did not reply as firmly as usual, "Hey! ”

He looked at Takaoka Yuto, his face was a little ugly, and even a little pale.

"What's wrong? Is there anything new to discover? Takaoka asked with a frown.

Saionji Haixiang's performance told him that there was a new development in the incident, but it could be bad news for them.

Saionji Kaixiang pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, but under the oppressive gaze of Takaoka Yuto, he gritted his teeth, bowed and said, "The place of death of the deceased this time is in the monitoring area. ”

Surveillance area?

Takaoka Yuto's eyes lit up: "That means that the surveillance camera filmed the death process of the deceased?" ”

"Yes."

"What about the prisoners? Did you take a picture of his face? ”

Saiyuan Temple Haixiang was silent, extremely depressed silence.

Takaoka Yuto saw that his face was pale and a little abnormal, and even his body was trembling slightly, which made him very dissatisfied, he frowned, turned his head to look at Ito Liang, and motioned for him to answer.

Ito Liang hesitated for a moment and replied, "The surveillance did not capture the prisoner. ”

"Didn't get it?" The Sichuan character pattern on Takaoka Yuto's forehead was a little deeper: "Is it that the prisoner is just in the dead end of the surveillance?" ”

Ito Liang took a deep breath and didn't answer directly, but instead said, "We copied the surveillance video back, and the section chief should also take a look." ”

......

The three returned to the office, and Ito turned on the computer, opened the video file, and dragged the progress bar to the time of the incident.

In the video, the sky has already darkened, and the light of the street lamp has drawn a circle on the ground, and the light and darkness are clearly distinguished, and then a man walks into the range of the street lamp.

"This is the victim, Kyohei Chida, 35 years old, who was killed here." Ito Liang adjusted the video playback speed to 0.5 times and said in a deep voice.

Yuto Takaoka glanced at the time at the bottom right of the video, it was 11:45 p.m. yesterday, which was very late.

Kyohei Chida had obviously just returned from drinking, and he was so drunk that he was even staggering to walk.

Suddenly, as if he saw something, he walked straight to the position directly below the street lamp, stretched out his arm, and made a gesture of picking up people, but the strange thing is that there is no one in the video except him, he is like holding air.

For a drunk person, this situation does not seem to be strange, but Takaoka Yuto still has a slight gaze in his eyes, and feels that the picture seems to be a little out of place.

Kyohei Chida held the air, as if he was talking nonsense to someone, this scene lasted for about 1 minute, Takaoka Yuto crossed his arms without the slightest impatience, he glanced at the progress bar, and knew that the climax was about to come.

Sure enough, the next moment, without warning, Kyohei Chida remained motionless as if the pause button had been pressed, like a statue, and if you look closely, you can still see that his body seems to be covered with a faint layer of white.

"Stop, start all over again!" Takaoka Yuto suddenly shouted in a deep voice.

The video was played from the beginning, Takaoka Yuto stared at Chida Kyohei in the picture with his eyes, and when Chida Kyohei made a move to pick up people, he finally knew where the previous sense of disobedience came from.

Kyohei Chida leaned slightly sideways because of the action of picking people, not very obvious tilt, which is nothing for normal people, but Kyohei Chida is not normal now, and a drunk drunk with such an action actually maintained his balance, and it lasted for more than a minute!

And that's not all......

Yuto Takaoka stared at the picture with his eyes glazed, bloodshot crawling up the whites of his eyes, and he still couldn't believe his eyes.

He zoomed in on a part of the image, and he could see that when Kyohei Chida leaned sideways, his shirt sank down and fit perfectly with his body, as if he was pressed down by sticking to the person.

It's definitely not caused by the wind!

In other words, Kyohei Chida in the video did hold a 'person', but this 'person' could not be recorded by the camera.

Faced with this almost inexplicable scene, Takaoka sat down in his office chair as if he had lost all his strength, his eyes closed, and his tone heavy.

"This matter is no longer something we can handle, let's report it to our superiors."

The surveillance video in the computer is still playing-

Kyohei Chida suddenly fell backwards, as if someone had pushed him.

Then the living ice sculpture fell to the ground and fell apart in the blink of an eye.

This scene is like mocking the fragility of human beings without words.....
