Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wolf King's Society

Nan Ci heard Wu Mian ask about the shoes, shook his head and said: "After we returned to the camp, I sent the shoes to the laboratory and handed them over to Uncle Min for examination, but unfortunately nothing was found, the shoes were soaked in the sewage for so long, and there was no useful information left, and even the complete DNA could not be extracted." ”

"I asked you to bring the shoe back, not to look for clues through it, but because it is a clue itself."

Wu Mian broke off a piece of potato and put it in his mouth, and said: "We can use the brand, origin, sales location and other information of the shoes to lock the approximate scope and area of the murderer, narrow down the scope of the search, and deduce the identity of the gunman." ”

Nan Ci looked at Wu Mian for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that it is the right choice to leave you behind, we really need a professional detective like you here." ”

Wu Mian stuffed the last piece of potato into his mouth: "Let's go, take me to the laboratory to have a look." ”

……

In Uncle Min's laboratory, Wu Mian looked at the leather boots on the table and frowned slightly: "It's not a special style, it's just a common high-top leather shoes for military and police." ”

"Could these people be plainclothes sent by the government?" Nan Ci narrowed his eyes: "On the one hand, you can grab synths for profit, and on the other hand, you can force synths like our rebels to appear?" ”

Wu Mian picked up the wallpaper knife on the table, cut the surface of the leather boots, and shook his head gently: "Not quite like it, these shoes do not have a leather upper bottom and an aramid puncture resistant layer, they are not produced by a regular military factory, but just an imitation of the shape of the imported product, because civilian shoes do not need to increase these complex processes and costs, this kind of shoes are generally sold in labor insurance stores and outdoor goods stores, and the style is very uniform." ”

Nan Ci was a little disappointed: "That is, there are no valuable clues?" ”

"Ordinary people wear leather shoes, the upper will form a fold, and the wear is usually located on both sides, but the wear of the sole of this shoe is mainly located on the sole of the foot, indicating that this person has had a military experience, only people who have been training for a long time will unconsciously move the ball of the foot forward, combined with the confession of the gunman we caught last time, it seems that most of the members of the Hidden Dragon Organization are retired soldiers."

Wu Mian flipped the soles of his shoes over and examined them with a magnifying glass, and found that the soles were covered with mud, and after rinsing them with clean water, there were still shiny substances in them.

Wu Mian picked up the luminous substance with tweezers and looked at it: "There are a lot of tin foil chips in the sole texture of his shoes, and I am not sure if it is left in the sewage tunnel." ”

As he spoke, Wu Mian took off his shoes and checked them, but he didn't find the same substance.

Seeing this, Nan Ci turned around and walked out of the door: "I immediately asked all the people who had participated in the operation before to gather and send the shoes they were wearing at that time to you." ”

Twenty minutes later, Wu Mian got up from the front of the experimental table and said to Nanci: "At present, it can be basically confirmed that the tin foil chips on the soles of the mysterious man are left before entering the tunnel, his shoes are not new shoes, the rubber on the soles has aged and cracked, and I have also found tin foil fragments in the cracks, indicating that where this person lives, there should be a large amount of tin foil, you can count all the tin foil production in the city, and there are places that will consume a lot of tin foil, we can investigate them one by one." ”

Nan Ci didn't expect that the investigation, which had already reached an impasse, would actually take a turn for the better because of a shoe, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes: "I'll just scatter the people and activate our spy network in the city at the same time." ”

……

Dreaming is a common thing, but repeating the same nightmare over and over again can be very uncomfortable.

Wu Mian was awakened by a nightmare again.

The figure that accused Wu Mian of killing his entire family seemed to have become a piece of his heart.

He sat up from the bed in a cold sweat, feeling his head ache.

Gunfight!

Homicide!

Flame!

Blood!

Bursting corpses!

Twisted metal!

A lot of images flashed through his mind, and Wu Mian couldn't tell for a while whether this was something in the depths of his memory or one of the images in a nightmare.

Before he could come to his senses, the curtain of the residence had been lifted, and Nan Ci immediately walked into the room: "Wu Mian, I have something to look for you." ”

Wu Mian, who was shirtless, saw Nan Ci staring at him, and frowned slightly: "I know you are an informal person, but should you knock on the door?" Your current behavior makes it easy for me to think of you as a female pervert. ”

Nan Ci withdrew his gaze from Wu Mian's scars and pointed to the entrance of the room with only one curtain: "If you want to knock on the door, you have to have a door, get dressed, I'll wait for you outside the door!" ”

Wu Mian got dressed and walked out of the door, blocked the sunlight with his hand and asked Nanci, "Did you come to me so early because you found clues related to leather boots?" ”

"No, there's another thing you need help with, and as we walk, let's go get the equipment first." As Nan Ci spoke, he had already taken the lead, and at the same time said to Wu Mian: "We have received a clue that two synths hiding in Kyoto have been kidnapped and need to be rescued, but we are short of manpower here, you have to come with me." ”

Wu Mian frowned: "Hidden Dragon? ”

"It's not." Nan Ci explained: "The other party's methods are very rough, and they can't be compared with the Hidden Dragon Organization, you accompany me to save people first, and I'll explain to you on the way." ”

Wu Mian paused: "You have dozens of fighters here. ”

Nan Ci responded bluntly: "There are a lot of personnel, but there are not many people with weapon modules installed in their bodies, there are several synthetic settlements in the suburbs, which have always been taken care of by us, today is the day to send supplies, there is a group of fighters who set off before dawn, and the remaining manpower is not enough to support this task." ”

Wu Mian raised his eyebrows: "It sounds like it's dangerous." ”

Nan Ci did not hide it: "According to the tip, these two people were kidnapped and taken to Jiangjunwei, and that walled village is the territory of the Wolf King Society, and they are one of the larger gangs in Kyoto. ”

Wu Mian recalled the name for a while, but didn't think of anything: "Is the previous kidnapping case also related to them?" ”

"I'm not sure, but my analysis shouldn't be relevant, the wolf king will be in the drug business, I haven't heard of them having kidnapped before, I speculate that this kidnapping case should be an accident."

Under the leadership of Nan Ci, Wu Mian quickly rushed to the maintenance workshop, but found that Li Tong was also here, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Did you also return to the garbage dump with them?" ”

Li Tong saw Wu Mian and showed a happy smile: "Yes, the people from the Worker Bee Organization said that I just had a prosthetic leg replaced, and I need to adapt to the life of a synth here before I can return to normal society, so as not to be seen as flawed!" And I'm an art student, so I can help with some drawings! ”

At the same time, Nanci also walked up to Joni and reached out and knocked on his body: "Joni, I need you to help me prepare a batch of equipment." ”

"Knock knock!"

The sound of knuckles hitting metal sounded, but Jonidano was motionless, and as Nan Ci exerted his strength, he actually fell directly to the ground.

Wu Mian, who was talking to Li Tong, heard the sound of metal hitting the ground, looked at Qiao Ni Daye, who was like a piece of scrap metal, and frowned: "Dead?" ”
