Several S.C.I vehicles were parked outside the cordon, blocking the onlookers' gaze from inside the isolation zone. The crime scene was tightly protected.
Even after S.C.I took over, there was still an endless stream of media and reporters from all districts. There were also many residents of the district standing not far away from the cordon, watching and talking about:
"This slut usually gets retribution for not doing good things. I saw him seducing Mr. Zhang next door a few days ago and playing with him every day until late at night. If nothing happens to her, who will?"
"The dead are the most important, the dead are the most important. You are a bastard, and you are not afraid of her coming to you at night."
"Bah, bah, bah! Let's go, go, go!"
…
Squeak——
The vehicle stopped outside Tongxia Community. Lu Kai in the car turned off the engine and turned to Xu Can and Jiang Shen and said:
"arrive."
When the investigators responsible for protecting the scene saw Team Leader Li Wu's car arriving, they cheered up and shouted to Li Wu who got out of the car:
"head!"
"head!"
But when they saw the suspect Xu Can also get out of the car with Team Leader Li Wu, they were obviously stunned.
Seeing Li Wu, the leader of the seventh group, coming, reporters from all major media gathered around him and asked:
"Team Leader Li Wu, what is the latest progress of the case?"
"Team Leader Li Wu, I heard that the murderer is a canine superpower. Is it true? When will the Abnormality Bureau hold a case press conference to announce the details of the case?"
Li Wu's expression was still stern:
"The deceased just appeared yesterday morning. Please give us some time to investigate and we will definitely give the outside world a satisfactory answer."
"Now please don't interfere with S.C.I.'s investigation, thank you."
"Team Leader Li Wu! Team Leader Li Wu!"
"Team Leader Li Wu! Team Leader Li Wu!"
…
After crossing the cordon, Li Wu and Xu Can introduced side by side:
"Tongxia Community is an old community, and only a few street corners have surveillance. The deceased died around 2:45 last night."
"According to the residents' confessions, someone heard screams and dog barking at that time. The forensic identification results were also at this time and are basically correct."
The shorter the time of death, the more accurate the forensic identification of the time of death will be, unless some people with special abilities deliberately cover up criminal evidence.
Generally, the time of death can be judged through ultrasonic reaction and muscle relaxation, postmortem subcutaneous bleeding, pupil ultrasonic reaction, changes in intraocular pressure, etc.
At the time of the incident, some residents in the community were awakened by screams in the alley. They looked at the time on their phones, locked their doors and windows, and went to sleep.
Not to mention being in a daze in the middle of the night, these ordinary people don't have clairvoyance and don't know that someone is being killed outside.
Even if they knew it, they didn't dare to go out to check at this point. Wouldn't they be putting themselves in a dangerous situation?
"Yesterday at 5:24 a.m., residents on their morning run found the body at the entrance of this alley."
Li Wu took Xu Can outside the alley where Zheng Ying died, and there was a faint smell of blood floating in the air.
There were still blood stains in the alley, but Zheng Ying's body had been disposed of. As for the specific photos of the deceased, Xu Can had seen them in the archives.
Xu Can understood the basic information. The information about the deceased was not critical, but the information about the murderer was crucial.
Li Wu continued to introduce:
"The extraction of the murderer's footprints here is basically meaningless. The dog's paw prints and the bloody handprints of the deceased are very clear."
"This alley is usually visited by many residents of the community, and it is difficult to capture footprints on the hard ground."
"What is certain is that through the capture of the supernatural factors at the scene, it is confirmed that the murderer's supernatural power level is around D level, which means that when the deceased died, the murderer was at the crime scene or nearby."
Xu Can looked up and saw that the entire alley was about a hundred meters away, which was the only way Zheng Ying could go home.
Zheng Ying has a bad reputation in the neighborhood and often brings home "wild men" from the bar.
Generally speaking, this is the alley you walk after having fun at the bar at night.
There is no need to elaborate on the details of the scene. A large amount of dog hair was found as well as a large number of traces of Zheng Ying fighting with dogs.
If no supernatural factors are detected at the scene, there is a high probability that it will be judged as an accidental case of a stray dog biting a person to death, which has not happened before.
There are many kinds of superpower sequences.
At present, the most likely abilities the murderer has are [4-15] Canine Simulation and [5-46] Animal Control.
Naturally, there is no need to go into too much detail about the canine personification. Transformation is a superpower, and the murderer directly transformed into a canine monster to commit murder.
But the reason why this probability is not as high as the latter is that there are two types of dog hair left after the fight at the crime scene, which shows that there are at least two vicious dogs at the scene.
Therefore, based on comprehensive judgment, the most likely option is animal control.
The murderer carried out the crime by controlling the vicious dog.
The D-level superpower intensity means that the range of control will not be very wide, so the controller is most likely near the alley.
"At that location?"
After thinking carefully, Xu Can pointed to the opposite alley, guessing where the murderer might be hiding if he had the power to control animals.
Li Wu was a little surprised by Xu Can's judgment.
After accepting the reality and calming down, Xu Can's insight and judgment are quite sharp.
"Well, since the deceased was killed at this alley, then if he was attacked by a vicious dog, he would definitely flee towards the alley on the other side of the vicious dog."
"The deceased entered from the south alley and was attacked in the middle. The murderer's hiding place is most likely at this location."
Li Wu led Xu Can through the alley and stood on the other side of the alley, leaning against the wall.
"According to the oral accounts of nearby residents, the deceased only screamed once or twice, and it was most likely that he was suddenly attacked."
"If the murderer comes forward, he will probably hear the cry for help."
"If you want to travel through time and space without attracting the murderer's attention, it would be better to travel from within the community. As long as you see the murderer's face, the case will be simple."
"In terms of time, the most appropriate time is when the crime occurred, or when the murderer fled after the crime."
Li Wu said with a serious face, obviously the current situation made him unable to relax.
As long as Xu Can can clearly see the appearance of the murderer, he can find the needle in the haystack even by investigating a large number of surveillance personnel, which is equivalent to finding the answer directly.
Since I decided to help solve the case in this way, I naturally planned a complete route before crossing.
Make sure not to be discovered by the murderer, change the development of history, and see the murderer's appearance clearly.
As a D-level superpower, both physical fitness and perception ability are within the scope of ordinary people. It is impossible to spot Xu Can peeping from a few meters away at night.
Xu Can nodded and responded:
"Okay, no problem, when will it be?"
"Of course the sooner the better, it depends on your body..."
Li Wu naturally hopes to solve the case as soon as possible.
It's just that looking at Xu Can's current tired state, it seems that he is not able to sustain the continuous use of supernatural powers. The key lies in Xu Can.
"I can hold on. Give me some rest."
"Three days at most."
Li Wu hesitated and said.
The time they were given by their superiors to solve the case was five days. They would also need to investigate and arrest the murderer. Three days was the limit.
"good."
Xu Can took a deep breath and decisively agreed.
If you can catch the real murderer one day earlier, you will naturally be able to clear yourself of suspicion and return to normal life one day earlier.
…
At night, No. 221, Xiyang Community, Jiangdong District.
"It's amazing that they would let you, the number one suspect, out of the special police station!"
Jiang Shen peeled off a lollipop, stuffed it into his mouth as if enjoying it, and said in surprise.
After the time was agreed upon, Li Wu actually did not bring the first suspect, Xu Can, back to the bureau, but instead let him back to rest.
Lu Kai was left to watch outside Xu Can's residence to prevent unexpected situations from happening.
Xu Can put down his cell phone. He had just confirmed his arrest with the school and asked for a week's leave.
When Jianghai University heard that Xu Can was arrested, they were so scared that they almost peed.
The previous murder of Jiang Mingyue had a lot of connections with Yao Yueqiang, the director of Jianghai University. Now the scandal has been suppressed for the time being.
If another serial murderer is found, the reputation of Jianghai University will be severely damaged.
I was finally relieved to learn that Xu Can was only cooperating with the investigation and not the real murderer.
Let alone a week's holiday, even if it is a month, it will be approved for a semester!
Xu Can himself was a little confused and shook his head:
"have no idea."
Seemingly overnight, the entire Special Investigation Bureau removed itself from the position of the number one suspect. No one knows what happened or what the Special Investigation Bureau found out.
Logically speaking, even if he proves his ability to travel through time and space, it shouldn't be like this.
"Forget it, don't worry about it."
"Huo Huo, have a good rest. Get a massage tomorrow. Use your powers continuously. I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."
Jiang Shen is very aware of the huge side effects of Xu Can's use of time and space travel.
Given the strength of Xu Can's supernatural power, if he had to use it again three days later, or if he traveled to a recent time node, the backlash would definitely be huge.
"okay."
At this stage, apart from some acupuncture and massage methods that can alleviate Xu Can's fatigue, there is no other way to restore his mental strength.
Xu Can dragged his tired body out of Jiang Shen's studio, returned to his room on the second floor, and closed the door with a bang.
After hearing the door closing, Jiang Shen frowned slightly and opened his locked drawer.
There is a small box placed in the corner of the drawer, with only an inexplicable symbol on it.
About three months ago.
In this room, Jiang Shen met someone he could not imagine at all.
this is……
Xu Can.
It’s just that it’s not the Xu Can who just entered the room!
That Xu Can claims to be from the future world.
At that time, even if Jiang Shen knew that Xu Can had the ability to travel through time and space, he couldn't believe it.
Is it possible that everything is destined and history and the future are destined to be impossible to change?
After briefly revealing his identity, Xu Can from the future gave Jiang Shen a small box and asked Jiang Shen to hand it over to Xu Can at a specific node.
This particular node is the appearance of a girl.
As for what's in the box, Jiang Shen doesn't know.
After that, Xu Can disappeared from this world, and some questions from Jiang Shen were not answered.
Jiang Shen and Xu Can grew up together in the Red Star Orphanage since they were young. They are as close as brothers, so naturally they will not stab each other in the back.
It's just that the appearance of Xu Can has shaken Jiang Shen's understanding of the rules of time and space.
This box obviously comes from the future.
The emergence of Xu Can in the future will inevitably change history.
Under the rules of time and space, Jiang Shen is not yet able to understand the relationship between history, present, and future.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shen closed the drawer.
Plop.
…
Three days later.
Xu Can and Jiang Shen took Lu Kai's car and arrived at the S.C.I Abnormality Bureau at the agreed time!
"Brother Lu!"
"Brother Lu."
"Um."
Lu Kai has become the backbone of the bureau at a young age and is considered one of the main candidates for the team leader position after Li Wu retires. He has a good relationship with all the investigators in the bureau.
None of these investigators showed much emotion when they saw Xu Can.
Since that night, except for a few core members of the team, many investigators have had their memories of Xu Can's [time travel] abilities cleared.
Returning to the Strange Bureau again, Xu Can's spirit was obviously much better than when he was captured last time.
The Abnormality Bureau is located in the center of the entire Luohe District, covering a large area and including various supernatural training venues and combat venues.
There are many young people who have just graduated from the Special Forces Military Academy and entered the Special Forces Bureau and are undergoing training.
"bring it on."
Lu Kai led Xu Can and Jiang Shen through the investigation area and entered a secret interrogation room, where Li Wu had been waiting for Xu Can's arrival.
"Head, here we come."
After entering the interrogation room, Lu Kai saw the two people beside Li Wu and said quickly:
"Uncle Kang, Boss Nie."
Xu Can and Jiang Shen also looked at the two people beside Li Wu.
Among them, the one who was talking to Li Wu was the deputy team leader Chen Jikang. He had a kind-looking face, about 1.7 meters tall, middle-aged and slightly plump. He was the veteran of the Yitong Seventh Group.
The scumbag uncle sitting next to him is Nie Zebing, the leader of the seventh arrest team.
You can tell from the strong aura on his body that he is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Deputy leader of group seven, Chen Jikang."
"Xu Can."
Chen Jikang took the initiative to reach out and shook Xu Can's hand. Now Chen Jikang is not very involved in the investigation and arrests within Group 7. He mainly helps Group 7 with reports at the S.C.I. General Administration.
After learning the details about the case from Li Wu, he went back to Group 7 directly.
"Get ready."
"Well, you're ready."
"good."
Chen Jikang has no reason to disagree with this plan. At least there is a high chance that the case can be solved.
Now all districts in Jianghai City are under great pressure and are at a critical juncture.
Li Wu took a step forward, took out the time node pictures prepared in advance, and confirmed the route to Xu Can again:
"This is the surveillance image outside Building 35 of Tongxia Community. From this position, follow our previous preparations..."
"..."
Jiang Shen was taken aside by Lu Kai and watched Xu Can make the final preparations for the time travel. He was not worried about Xu Can's situation on that side. What he was worried about was the mental backlash after the time travel.
Being so close to the real time point, it would be quite difficult to forcefully travel through it.
Xu Can nodded after hearing Li Wu's explanation, put on a black mask, took a deep breath, and looked at the photo in front of him.
The space-time channel is gradually established with the burst of supernatural factors!
