[5000-word chapter] Chapter 72 Another wild grotesque?
"ungrateful,"
Kao Muraoka said these four words in a deep voice,
"Although it cannot be said that all the truth and facts have been found out. But among the facts currently investigated, almost every missing person has been ungrateful, or repaid kindness with hatred.
Based on this, we initially determined that taking away humans who have acted ungratefully is the weird rule of this taxi.
It is for this reason that we also named this bizarre incident [Late Night Taxi Hating the Ungrateful]."
"what do you mean,"
Before Shiratori could say anything, a colleague named Naoki Suunaga from the Criminal Division said with some emotion: "Are Hidero and Ryozo in our class also ungrateful?"
"According to the rules, that's true."
"How is it possible?" Naoki Suunaga said: "Ask everyone here, we have all been colleagues for many years, and everyone knows what our private character is like. Hidero and Ryozo have always had good conduct, how is it possible?
Have you ever done anything ungrateful?"
"Yes, we can all testify."
"If nothing else, these two are very family-oriented men that are rare in our country."
After Naoki Sunaga finished speaking, colleagues in the Criminal Division responded one after another.
Hanao Muraoka didn't bother to defend himself and went straight to the evidence——
He casually opened a file box and took out a stack of information, "This case is the disappearance of a family of three that my colleague mentioned just now..."
Muraoka Hanao looked at Gu Xing, "You know, right, what did this family do?
This Jingzawa burglarized a house and found his old man passed out and fell to the ground. He sent him to the hospital and paid for the first aid in advance.
As a result, his son went to the police station to report Izawa for burglary, and finally uncovered a long-standing backlog of cases, and Izawa was sentenced to death.
On the night when the old man was discharged from the hospital, the family got into a taxi and disappeared. Look at this again..."
Kao Muraoka casually pulled out another pile of information,
"This woman divorced her husband and went to live with her cousin. The cousin kindly took her in, lived and ate for free, and helped her find a stable job. As a result, she seduced her cousin's husband and finally forced her to
My cousin divorced her cousin’s husband and finally threw herself into the sea and passed away.”
"and this……"
The information was dug out one by one, and the ins and outs of the case were clearly recorded. Many cases were accompanied by inquiry records, signatures, and fingerprints of the parties or related persons. The facts seemed indisputable.
Everyone in the criminal department stared wide-eyed, as if they had to admit that this was the case.
But it is really hard for people to understand how ungrateful things Hidero and Ryozo did to trigger the taxi rules.
"I thought about what the two of them have in common," Anda raised his hand weakly, "I just don't know if it has anything to do with the taxi rules..."
"Say it quickly..."
"I remember that neither of them had ever visited Tetsuo..."
"Yes, I remember this too," another colleague said: "Ryozo went to the amusement park with his children, and Hidero seemed to have been busy with a case for the past few days."
The scene was silent for a while, and everyone raised their heads. You looked at me, and I looked at you. A thought came to everyone's mind -
Were Hidero and Ryozo really taken away by taxi because they didn't go to visit Tetsuo?
Thinking back, these two people were cared for by Tetsuo in previous cases. Ryozo was injured in the leg once and was carried to a nearby hospital by Tetsuo, while Hideo was saved by Tetsuo.
In this way, Tetsuo has been hospitalized for some time. The two of them have not visited Tetsuo until now, which can hardly be said to be ungrateful.
"Here," Shiratori frowned, "is there anyone here who hasn't visited Tetsuo?"
"Uh...I haven't gone yet..."
Naoki Sunaga, who was still questioning Muraoka Kao just now, raised his hand, "Yesterday was my shift, so when they went to see Tetsuo, I went back to the police station. The last time they called me, I happened to have something to do at home...
…I really didn’t mean not to go…”
"Have you ever received help from Tetsuo before?" Shiratori asked.
"Well……"
Sunaga Naoki's face became ugly,
"Once I arrested a prisoner in an apartment... It was my turn to rush in, but the atmosphere was really weird at the time. I hesitated, but Tetsuo probably saw it and rushed in for me. The next few days
, Tetsuo felt uncomfortable all over, and even went to a witch to exorcise evil spirits..."
"Now, immediately," Shiratori said, "go see Tetsuo, the sooner the better."
Naoki Sunaga certainly refused to admit that his behavior was ungrateful.
But the rules of terror taxis are floating around the midnight streets of Lidu. Two colleagues have already been hit by the taxis one after another. No matter how hard-headed Naoki Suunaga is, he does not dare to hit them easily.
Half an hour later, Naoki Sunaga arrived at Tetsuo's ward with his colleagues from the Criminal Division, holding a large bouquet of flowers and various fruits.
Everyone took the initiative to ask for another visit, and they were probably a little afraid of the rule. Subconsciously, they were thinking that if they came to visit more often, the label of ungratefulness would be further away.
"Everyone... why are you here again? What should I do..."
Tetsuo's face was full of shame,
"Oh, Naoki is here too.
To be honest... you don't have to go here again and again. Everyone is very busy with work on weekdays...
Eh...your eyes are a bit strange..."
After bidding farewell to Tetsuo, everyone in the criminal class discussed it privately. After all, there was not a single person in this class who had not been favored by Tetsuo. This in itself was bizarre enough.
"I think Tetsuo-kun can be regarded as a weirdo," a colleague joked: "Let's call him [the enthusiastic Tetsuo who is determined to help you and preferably saves your life], haha."
After the joke was made, there was a silence. It was not okay for everyone to pick up the joke, and it was uncomfortable not to pick up the joke. After all, the two colleagues were still missing.
Out of caution, Shiratori discussed with Sequoia and decided that tonight, all members of the Criminal Division would be on standby in a conference room at the police headquarters to prevent anyone from receiving another inexplicable phone call or text message and running out in the middle of the night.
.
The two investigators Sequoia and the indifferent saury will also stay at the headquarters tonight.
For half a year, the bizarre taxi incident has not been properly resolved. On the one hand, saury and assistant Muraoka Kao analyzed that the bizarre incident did not have the nature of mass murder and had limited impact on social harmony and stability, so they reported to the headquarters
Submitted a report on delayed resolution and prudent handling.
Considering that the number of missing people who triggered the rule is currently small, and most of them are not innocent, the department finally approved the postponement of the report.
On the other hand, it is also because the weird dragon never comes back, and every time it appears and disappears it is very strange, making it difficult to achieve a head-on confrontation.
Moreover, people who can trigger the rules are distributed in every corner of Lidu City. No one knows when weird things will suddenly appear. It is impossible for the police to publicly investigate which citizens have done ungrateful things, so it is really difficult to prevent and control them in advance.
Assistant Muraoka Hanao once tried fishing on the Internet and posted a post in a local online forum in Lidu to collect information from netizens about ungrateful people and things that had happened around him and tell their stories.
Of course, the characters in the story must remain anonymous and their identities should not be revealed.
The police will find the poster based on the IP address, understand the specific circumstances, and then target citizens who may trigger weirdness.
What I didn't expect was that the ungrateful citizens mentioned in these posts were often taken away by taxis before the police came to the door. After finally identifying a citizen who was not taken away, the taxi would take him away again.
Others are simply weird, know tactics, and impossible to guard against.
After the victim disappears, the original insider will quickly return to the post to reveal the news——
"What a outrageous incident! The woman I talked about last time who stole my cousin's husband was taken away by a strange taxi, and then there was no news! It was the night I posted!
It’s simply God’s retribution. Those of us who know about it feel very excited!
I was telling my husband two days ago that such a vile woman would harm so many people if she were left alive in this world. Every time I see her, I feel like I've eaten a fly in my heart.
Just take her away, I didn’t expect my idea to be so effective...
I was just thinking, how about buying a lottery ticket tonight...
By the way, can you guess the specific plot of that night? Someone went to watch the surveillance. That taxi was so weird, as if it came from the underworld... That's what it felt like..."
Afterwards, Balabala recounted the bizarre details of that night.
Several insiders came back and broke the news, and these posts quickly turned into supernatural posts.
Netizens who got the news came to check in the post one after another, and more citizens regarded this post as a revenge wishing post, revealing the ungrateful incidents that happened to themselves or around them, hoping that the weird taxi would take care of all those ungrateful people.
take away.
What’s even weirder is that those people who were written into the post, as long as they have done something ungrateful, will be taken away in a rental car.
There are also some people who took this opportunity to fabricate false information and slander the people they had issues with as ungrateful. The taxi actually took away the person who posted the message.
It was so spiritual. Moreover, it seemed that the police had no way to deal with the taxi.
This incident caused a lot of commotion on the Internet. Some netizens regarded the weird taxi as a messenger of justice to protect justice and punish evil, and established a fan forum specifically for it. In just half a day, more than a thousand members were registered.
In order to maintain social harmony and stability in Lidu, the police deleted the post before the impact of the incident further expanded, banned the online forum, and also conducted a cleanup of the entire network. Any similar ungrateful phishing posts will be deleted, which is disgraceful.
quelled the online commotion.
However, some informed Lidu citizens still secretly circulate the legend that strange taxis will take away ungrateful people, which is something that the police cannot control carefully.
The sweep also means that searching for possible victims of taxi weirdness online is no longer feasible.
Muraoka Hanao also tried to get some death row prisoners to do various ungrateful things to see if they could trigger the weird rules, but ultimately failed. It can be concluded that being too deliberately and falsely ungrateful is useless.
To be honest, under the instructions of Saury, Muraoka Kao has already started drafting an application report to continue delaying the solution to the taxi weirdness.
However, this time the disappearance of the JA District Police Department police officers seems to be the first time that the taxi weirdness has targeted a group with a centralized and unified identity.
Since two people in the Criminal Division have triggered the rules, others may also trigger them, which will help to understand the rules and prevent and control them in advance.
That night, Hongshan called Gu Xing to the office alone again and did some ideological work to encourage Gu Xing to become an assistant to the investigator. Of course, the contract signed with a fake name that day was invalid. It was purely a joke of Hongshan under the influence of alcohol.
She had no intention of messing around with the contract afterwards. Today was another formal invitation.
Gu Xing was determined and refused to obey. Hong Shi had to give up temporarily.
When Gu Xinglin went out, Hongshan suddenly asked: "By the way, have you seen anything strange on me?"
After saying that, he stared straight into Gu Xing's eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate Gu Xing's inner world with his eyes.
"Strange?" Gu Xing looked up and down, "Does the red windbreaker count?"
"Get out!"
"Boom!"
Gu Xing closed the door of Sequoia's office, got into the bathroom, took out the note,
[Hey, don’t tell me, you really can’t see the bright red chain on her chest and the red parrot that is bleeding quickly]
"I saw it," Gu Xing subconsciously glanced in the direction of Hongshan's office, "I saw it as soon as I entered Hongshan's office."
It was completely unexpected that the parrot, who Sequoia told the frogman that day, would have big fights with her every day and was not too talkative, would have such a weird appearance.
[Wow, you’ve seen this and you can still be so calm? I’m going to look at you with admiration, Gu Xingjun]
[And your acting skills are also very good. In Hong Shi's office just now, I was observing you the whole time, but I didn't find any flaws... Honestly, how did you do it? You were able to hold back your eyes the whole time without looking at you.
The chain and the parrot]
"Sequoia is a great beauty," Gu Xing said, "As long as I have the attitude that a normal man should have and face her beauty, my eyes won't wander elsewhere."
[Did you know that Sequoia has been staring at you today? Wow, if she notices something strange, you will have a lot of fun]
"What's that chain and that parrot?"
[I don’t know, there are many weird things in this world that you don’t know about at all, and I am the same]
"What does she want to do?"
[Probably she wants you to help her. I think it may not be too difficult for you. Do you want to carry forward your excellent quality of helping others and do a hero to save the beauty? I can provide the most reliable
s help】
"Not interested in."
Gu Xing was completely immune to Xiaodong's inflammatory language. What story was hidden behind Sequoia and what its purpose was, he knew with his heels that it would never be as simple as Xiaodong said.
Gu Xing had no intention of getting involved, so he could just continue to pretend he couldn't see anything from now on.
[Wow, save a stunning beauty, stage a romance, and then capture her wild heart. Are you really not interested in this kind of plot that only appears in movie plots? I'm not lying to you, this woman
It’s super exciting. If you miss it, you will really regret it and want to eat shit.]
"Cut the nonsense,"
Gu Xing said: "Is that the blood-red chain that I suddenly saw today caused by you?
What do you want to do, a surprise attack?
Let Red Shirt discover my flaw and get entangled in me completely?
Stop doing such little things, or I will buy concrete tomorrow."
【……】
…
Everyone in the Criminal Division observed the situation at the police headquarters for three days. No one triggered the weird taxi rules, and no one received any inexplicable phone calls or text messages.
On the contrary, three cases of missing taxis were reported by other police stations.
It turns out that Taxi Weirdness has moved on.
"This way we can basically confirm,"
Muraoka Hanao said: "For my colleagues in the Criminal Division, if you don't go to the hospital to visit Tetsuo who was injured on the job, you will be judged as an ungrateful act by a taxi and will be taken away.
To be honest, after investigating the bizarre taxi incident for such a long time, I felt for the first time that this guy went a little too far - because he was busy with work and had something to do at home, is it ungrateful for his colleague who was not injured in time? Even if he really didn't go in the end.
, it’s not like making people disappear, right? It’s too much…”
On the fourth day, everyone in the Criminal Division of Jing'an Police Station returned to their normal schedule and returned to work.
Sequoia goes on vacation.
Saury followed the latest chapter of "Attack on Titan", cursed a few words in a rare move, and started looking for a new chapter of the manga, while Muraoka Kao continued to investigate unhurriedly.
On the fourth night, after Gu Xing returned home, he suddenly asked Xiaodong:
"Dongsang, tell me... is it possible for the two of us to collect this wild monster like a taxi?"
