The insect's tentacles had already penetrated the old magic stick's ears.
The old magic stick was completely unaware and was still looking around, unaware that the deadly Death he was looking for was right behind his ear!
"do not move!"
Li Changan stopped shouting. The old magician didn't know why. He turned his head and saw a sharp sword tip in front of him.
He was so frightened by the sudden sword that his hands and feet became cold.
He felt a chill on his ear, but the sword was close to his ear and flew past him in no time.
"you……"
He was about to question, but when he heard a "pop", something fell by his feet, and he lowered his head and looked down.
But he saw the big cockroach he was looking for just now at his feet. The cockroach's head was split in two, but it was still struggling to turn over.
His face suddenly became the same color as his hair, and he took a big step back as if he had been pricked by a needle.
Seeing this, he still didn't understand what had just happened. He touched the edge of his ear where the sword blade had cut a thin wound. He still felt a little pain, but he was filled with joy - he almost had this bug worming its way into his brain.
!
"Mr. Li, thank you for saving my life." The old magician said with lingering fear.
Li Changan waved his hand, took back the small sword, and looked down at the cockroach that had successfully turned him over.
"Crack!"
He crushed it with his foot and found a piece of crystal fragment from the wreckage.
Zhang Suxuan stood aside, looking at the insects and dead bodies in the room, with a change of scenery on his face, but he was a little discouraged. He asked periodically: "Mr. Li, what should we do now?"
Li Changan asked him to wait, then closed his eyes and focused all his attention on his sense of smell.
After a moment, he still shook his head.
The reason why he was able to get rid of these bugs was because of the scent of the invisible thread on the bugs. Just to save Zhang Suxuan, he had to cut open the head of the big cockroach. At that time, the invisible thread immediately dissipated. There were residues in the air.
The smell of the city has also been washed away by the complex atmosphere of modern cities, making it difficult to identify.
However, there are actually more than one invisible thread spreading from the big cockroach, and this is just one of them. In other words, there may still be bugs causing trouble in many places in the city.
This is beyond Li Changan's ability.
He stood up and said something that made Zhang Suxuan feel relieved.
"Call the police."
……………………
Inside the police station.
Whether it is the police or the public, when passing by the hall, they can't help but focus on a certain corner in the hall.
It's not that they are rare or strange.
After all, it is quite strange for a young man to stand in a police station with a sword in his hand and look calm and composed.
Zhang Suxuan did not call the police, or in other words, he called Director Wang directly. He reported Li Changan's conjecture and the scene situation to the other end of the phone, and Director Wang immediately paid attention to it.
After all, if there is only one case of insect swarms eating people, it can be explained by encountering some rare and strange natural phenomenon. But if another case occurs in a short period of time, it is most likely that it is extremely bad in nature, but the method is
Unknown serial murder case!
And according to Li Changan's thoughts, it is very likely that there will be other victims, or there may already be other victims.
There was no room for him to be careless. Director Wang immediately mobilized the police to conduct an investigation and search throughout the city. At the same time, he personally led a team to seal off the scene. Li Changan also met Director Wang for the first time, a fat old man with a big belly.
.
The director was also unambiguous and gave Li Changan and Zhang Suxuan the title of consultant.
It has to be said that when the state machinery turns, the energy generated is truly amazing.
It didn't take long for the two deceased people to find out what they had in common.
The deceased's name was Sui Liang, and he was also a migrant worker at the bottom of the city. Like Qian Cheng, he used to live in a certain apartment, but not long ago, he moved out of the original apartment, but also moved back and forth.
Within a short period of time, they died one after another at the hands of insects.
Although this clue is very few, it is at least a start.
Therefore, the police immediately called the residents of that apartment to the police station. At the same time, they also asked all parties to pay attention to whether there was anyone who suddenly disappeared or who suddenly stopped going out.
…………………………
As a consultant, Li Changan is qualified to participate in the case.
Therefore, when the police comrades were asking about the residents of the apartment, Li Changan was also holding his sword. Shi Shiran stood aside, attracting the attention of others, but he did not take it seriously. Instead, he turned around and asked Xiao Tang, the short and fat policeman next to him.
——He was also temporarily transferred here to handle this case.
"Why are there only so few people?"
There were only two or three groups of residents arriving, not as many as the police nearby.
Xiao Tang glanced at it and explained.
"That apartment is in a remote area, and the price is cheap. The people who live there are either part-time workers or recent graduates from other places. They are highly mobile. It's pretty good to be able to find so many in a short time."
Li Changan nodded and looked at the faces of several residents for a while before settling on one of the men.
This man has sunken eyes and is as thin as a skeleton. Isn't he the same Bai Xiuye who was fooling around downstairs with Qian Cheng before?
Bai Xiuye seemed to be a "frequent visitor" to the police station. He didn't feel cramped at all, occupying two seats as if Ge You was lying down.
The other residents nearby avoided him, especially a young woman with heavy makeup. She didn't even dare to look at him. She shrank far away and buried her head in her collar. But the more she acted like this, the more Bai Xiuye
The more he looked directly at her, the corner of his mouth curled up into an inexplicable smile.
"This person?"
Li Changan pointed at Bai Xiuye and turned to Xiao Tang to ask.
Xiao Tang had seen Li Changan's ability with his own eyes, so he didn't dare to neglect and answered quickly.
"This man's name is Bai Xiuye, he is a poisonous insect, but the reason why this woman dare not see him..." A look of contempt appeared on Little Tang Pang's face, "...it's not because she did something wrong."
"What a shame."
As Xiao Tang finished speaking, a female voice cut in next to him, but it was Captain Zhang Qian, the daughter of the old magic stick.
"No! No!" Xiao Tang quickly waved his hand, "I'm just being silly."
He quickly picked up another pile of documents.
"By the way, Bureau Wang is still waiting for these documents. Please take your time and chat."
After saying that, he ran away.
Perhaps she was used to the cat-like attitude of her subordinates, so Zhang Qian didn't think much about it. She just smiled, a rare smile on her always tense face.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, this Bai Xiuye..." She hesitated, "He can be considered a pitiful person."
"This man is considered a "experienced man" who has entered the situation. We also know his situation very well. This man has a strange disease that causes pain everywhere in his body. He started using morphine for pain relief, but gradually developed drug resistance.
I became addicted to drugs..."
"...I just feel sorry for his daughter. She is only three or four years old, a very cute little guy, and he is the only one dragging her down with a drug addict. Fortunately, this man is not completely bad. No matter how big his drug addiction is, he still knows how to give his daughter a good meal."
Let’s eat.”
……………………
Zhang Qian talked for a while and then went about her business.
As soon as she left with her front legs, Xiao Tang slipped back with her hind legs.
By coincidence, Li Changan also had a little question.
"Is your forensic room on this floor?"
"Forensic room?" Xiao Tang scratched his head, "I'm not here, what's wrong?"
The words just fell.
A shout suddenly rang out in the corridor.
"Found it again!"
Found it? Found what?
At this time, Zhang Suxuan suddenly came out, grabbed Li Changan and walked outside.
"Master Li, come quickly! We have found a new victim!
