Chapter 74 Shopping Malls

 "Porcelain?"

"Yes, please look."

As soon as the two finished speaking, the details of the victim's wounds were displayed on the soft screen.

Just look at the thigh of a male deceased who was violently amputated. The amputation area looks like broken glass or porcelain, with edges and corners.

The human blood in the wound was replaced by some black viscous liquid, and the bones looked like broken porcelain.

This weird change only occurs near the wound, and other parts of the victim remain normal.

"Officer Kennedy...Is there a substance in this world that can turn people into porcelain?" Brea asked doubtfully.

As soon as the forensic doctor gave the autopsy report, Director Venice realized that he had to conceal this fact, so only a few people knew the details.

But those familiar with the matter, including forensic doctors, are very confused. What could cause such a wound?

Leon shook his head slightly.

He knew that this must be caused by an abnormal phenomenon, but he didn't know what it was specifically, and it needed to be investigated.

"Is there any surveillance video or witnesses?" Leon asked.

Brea also shook his head and said: "No witnesses have been found so far, and all the crime scenes are in blind spots, so no useful footage has been captured.

To put it bluntly, what you just saw is what we have investigated in the past few days."

At the end, Brea's tone was quite helpless.

"Well...I know." Leon stood up with a groan and walked towards the meeting room.

And asked: "Can you take me to see the victim's body?"

"No problem." Brea had nothing to stop her.

The next two people came to the underground parking lot of the police station. Brea drove a police car and drove Leon towards the police warehouse.

Come to the warehouse in the suburbs.

Go straight to the morgue.

Brea asked the forensic doctor who performed the autopsy at the time to clear out the unimportant assistants in the morgue, and then showed Lyon all the victims.

See this.

In order to report to his superiors, Lyon took photos of all the victims and uploaded them to Umbrella's European headquarters.

Soon.

In the office on the second floor of the Mother's Nest.

"24 people were killed in one night? And the bodies were made of porcelain, um..."

Sui Bian was sitting behind his desk, browsing the photos taken by Lyon, and muttering to himself without any clue.

He tried to recall the movies, TV shows and games from his previous life.

In the end, he sighed slightly helplessly. He didn't know what kind of abnormal phenomenon this was caused by.

It is very likely that it is "local".

After all, Rockford Island has controlled a large number of non-threat level (first level) anomalies, many of which Sui Bian has never heard of.

Of course, controlling these anomalies will not only help Umbrella's research and analysis, Sui Bian's points will also increase.

The current number of points is 2740.

Most of these non-threatening anomalies are only worth 4 or 50 points.

Nearly three thousand points sounded like a lot, but the thing he wanted to redeem was really too expensive.

Last month, the mall sold the Hyperion in "StarCraft", which required 50,000 points to redeem.

Yes, with the Hyperion, Umbrella's technology will make a qualitative leap, allowing humans to easily escape the shackles of the earth's gravity.

But with 50,000 points, Sui Bian can only fall behind.

However, Sui Bian also read a hidden message from it.

That is, among the abnormal phenomena, there may be something worth thousands or tens of thousands of points.

Otherwise, the system will not release Hyperion worth 50,000.

What's more, the existence of the iron-blooded race shows that in the future, even in the near future, mankind will not only have to face so-called abnormal phenomena, but also face hostile alien races.

Human beings are like a lonely boat on the sea. There is a possibility of catastrophe at any time.

Sui Bian and Umbrella are trying to delay and prevent this "possibility".

‘Forget it, let’s see what good stuff can be produced next month. Before, my face was too dark and there was no good stuff at all.’

Sui Bian regained his composure and no longer considered the vague future of mankind.

Take it easy.

He then said to the Red Queen: "Notify Captain Price stationed at the Paris headquarters and ask him and 141 to pay more attention to the movements in Venice."

"Yes, sir." The Red Queen responded through the computer speaker.

After Task Force 141 was established, Sui Bian had 141 stationed at the Paris headquarters, responsible for assisting armed security in controlling and mitigating abnormal phenomena as soon as possible.

With the garrison of 141, and Umbrella's involution problem almost eradicated, the Omicron led by the lieutenant returned to their nest.

August 29.

Venice.

Local clock: 20:21.

Magra city center.

Next to the roundabout on the main road No. ss309.

Brea drove the police car and drove Leon out of the roundabout, finally parking in the parking lot in front of a coffee shop.

The two got off the car, went to the cafe to buy two cups of coffee, and then headed to the sidewalk two hundred meters away from the cafe.

"This is where we found the last deceased."

Brea blew on the steaming coffee, took a sip, then pointed to the road next to a green tree with his left hand and said.

In order to minimize the impact of this incident, the police did not set up a cordon here, nor did they mark the victim's death location or his actions when he died on the ground.

"Well, thank you." Leon, who had already drank half of his coffee, responded lightly.

Two days.

Leon and Brea traveled almost throughout the city of Magra, surveying the places where all the victims were found, and visiting nearby suspicious places.

The "suspect" or "suspects" seemed to have disappeared after committing the crime in the early morning of the 25th.

In order to avoid the possibility of further increasing the death toll, Lyon must find out what this abnormal phenomenon is as soon as possible.

"Leon, have you noticed any difference?" Brea couldn't help but ask when he saw Leon's thoughtful look.

After being partners for two days, the relationship between the two is no longer as unfamiliar as before.

"..." Leon did not reply, but turned his attention to the building not far away.

A large shopping mall called nave de vero.

Seeing this, Brea first glanced at Rowe Shopping Center, and then said to Lyon:

"It is expected to open in early November, and we only found shelves, displays and other things prepared by the merchants in advance. Some merchants have not yet completed the decoration."

"It's still more than two months before it opens..." Lyon faced Brea: "That means the monitoring system there is not perfect yet, right?"

"Yes, after the serial murders on the 25th, the mall's investors also increased patrol security.

Even if we assume that the suspect hid in the mall before committing the crime, our police also thoroughly checked the mall, even the cracks in the walls, and found no hiding place for the suspect at all." Brea replied.

"Then I'm even more certain that the suspect never left the mall from beginning to end." Leon said firmly.
