His intuition told him that there must be something abnormal in the shopping mall that had not yet opened.
The places where the deceased's crime occurred are all over the bustling areas of the city, but if you mark it on the map, it is not difficult to find that Rowe Mall is located at the center of the deceased.
Venice police also discovered this.
As Brea said before, the police have thoroughly investigated the mall.
In order to avoid being gossiped about by others, the mall investors also took the initiative to increase the number of security guards. If the suspect is not a fool, it is definitely impossible for him to hide in the mall again.
But what if the suspect is not a human?
The police will not move their investigation closer to abnormal phenomena, but Lyon will.
He drank the remaining coffee in the cup, then threw it into the trash can not far away, and advised Brea:
"Brea, the rest of the investigation can be left to our Interpol."
Finished.
Leon took out the .45 caliber HK USP pistol from the quick-draw holster on his waist.
Load the gun.
About insurance.
Put the gun back into the holster.
After completing the above process, Leon took out his special agent mobile phone to apply for support from the Venice branch, and then walked towards Rowe Mall.
"Wait!"
Brea quickly grabbed Leon's right wrist, stopped what she considered to be some unclear and irresponsible behavior, and said slightly angrily:
"Lyon, this is Venice. No matter what, it's not your Interpol's turn to take over, right? Or do you, the Interpol, know something inside? I'll go with you."
"..." Leon did not answer.
However, intelligence personnel are equipped with uen-001 (silver rod for erasing memory), which is used to help witnesses immediately and erase the memory of abnormal phenomena.
Even though Leon and the intelligence officers who graduated at the same time are all interns, they still have uen-001 and exclusive sunglasses.
Thought for a moment.
"Okay, but you have to let go of my hand first, Brea, do you still want me to buy you a cup of coffee? Haha." Leon said with a hint of ridicule.
Brea let go of her hand, but she was too lazy to pay attention to Leon's teasing.
He is handsome, and he is also very friendly, but Leon always gives her the feeling of a scumbag. It is impossible for her to have feelings for Leon anyway.
"Hey, woman."
Seeing that Brea didn't bother him and walked towards the mall with an attitude of ignoring him, Leon couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Soon.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of Luo Wei Shopping Mall.
The security guard guarding the door just glanced at their IDs and let them enter the mall to investigate.
Moreover, the security foreman personally accompanied them in the investigation.
Perhaps to save electricity bills, or to save electricity, there are not many lighting equipment in operation in the mall.
When encountering dark areas such as storage rooms, bathrooms, stairwells, etc., Leon and others need to turn on flashlights to provide light.
There is nothing useful to find on the first floor of a huge shopping mall.
In physical stores that are under renovation or have been completed, the floor tiles are covered with dust caused by the renovation, and there are also a large number of disposable packaging bags and empty cartons.
Dirty and messy.
But this is all normal.
In some stores that have been renovated, the internal shelves are already filled with products and covered with a layer of transparent dust-proof cloth to prevent dust from contaminating the goods.
It seems that they are waiting for the day when the shopping mall opens.
Finding nothing on the first floor, Leon, Brea and the security foreman continued to the second floor.
The second floor is dedicated to men’s clothing and sports brands.
The decoration here is basically completed, the floor tiles are much cleaner than those on the first floor, and there are many mannequins for displaying clothes, which are randomly placed in the aisles by the staff.
The mall is not open now, and there are only Leon and others and security guards patrolling from time to time, so I don’t feel that these messy mannequins are in the way.
But when they passed by an area full of suit shops, behind them, a male mannequin suddenly moved.
There was no wind or earthquake, the mannequin was moving on its own.
At the same time, its head slowly twisted, its dull eyes fixed on Leon's back, and then...
The mouth quickly split open, exposing the tooth-like tissue inside.
Immediately afterwards, all the male models in this area seemed to be alive, and silently followed behind Leon and others.
They haven't noticed Leon walking in front yet.
"Did I say the two police officers have finished their investigation?"
The security foreman seemed to dislike the second floor, especially the motionless mannequins, so he seemed a little impatient.
"..." Leon did not answer.
"We can just check it ourselves, you don't need to follow us." Brea replied.
"Hey, okay, you two police officers are busy first, but don't move anything, even the police will have to pay compensation."
The security foreman gave instructions to the two of them before leaving, and then returned the same way, preparing to leave this somewhat creepy second floor.
"I remember, it didn't look like this just now. Wait...why are they still opening their mouths?"
The security foreman didn't go far when he noticed something unusual about the mannequins.
A scream of "Ah————!!!" came from behind Leon and Brea.
The two men immediately turned around and saw the security foreman's limbs being violently torn off by the mannequins.
"Pfft!" Blood immediately sprayed on the floor.
"Crack!" There was also the sound of bones being broken.
"Save me...save me...save..."
The security guard was still calling for help from Lyon and the others, but the blood loss was too fast, and he finally closed his eyes completely and fell into a coma...
Until death.
"No!" Leon drew his gun angrily and shot.
"Pah! Pah!" The sound of hk usp's gunfire suddenly spread throughout the shopping mall.
"Bang~crack~!" The mannequin penetrated by the .45acp warhead made a sound similar to that of ceramic being shattered.
Moreover, black viscous liquid was flowing from the gunshot wound.
But this was not enough to stop the mannequins’ actions.
Seeing this, Leon immediately aimed at the mannequin's head and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Pa!"
"Wow~!"
This time, the mannequin whose head was smashed was shattered into pieces, and black liquid splashed on the floor and the body of the security guard's neighbor.
As a police officer, Brea immediately took out his gun and prepared to assist Lyon in dealing with the current situation.
"This...! Leon! What is going on!"
But after she saw the tragic death of the security guard next to her and those mannequins that could only appear in ghost movies, the uncanny valley effect reached its peak.
Suddenly, all the mannequins cast their dull gazes on them.
