Three hundred and eighteen chapters together again
Since today was the weekend and he didn't have to go to work, Mai Fan started cleaning the one-third of an acre of land that belonged to his grandfather after checking the tavern.
But he forgot what unit he joined and what the nature of his work was.
No, he didn't go to the work unit, and the team members from the work unit had already come to look for him.
"What? Can't you go to that mysterious market only at night?"
Officer Jing and Feng Xiaoju shook their heads and said to Mai Fan: "We discovered the movement of the five-pointed star again."
"This time, it appeared in an ordinary home on the outskirts of the city."
"The male owner of that house is a little special, but because he didn't show it obviously, even we noticed that he was strange."
"This is just the owner of a farmhouse business in the suburbs of Beijing. He owns the hill behind and grows ordinary fruits and vegetables."
"It's probably purely natural ingredients. The produce from his side are fresher and more delicious than those from nearby vegetable farmers or orchards."
"But it's not so exaggerated as to end the world of immortality."
"Otherwise we wouldn't have discovered his existence until now."
What then? You haven’t discovered this person yet, so what will happen to him?
Officer Jing gave the answer to Mai Fan's question: "Although we didn't find it, the person behind the summoning five-pointed star found him."
"That's right. When we received the alarm and rushed to his courtyard, we tried to investigate why he was killed. Based on the confessions of the surrounding neighbors, we discovered something strange about the victim."
"Then based on the feedback from our comrades in investigation and inspection, we discovered the special characteristics of the crops around him and the small animals raised in the yard."
"It is precisely because of these discoveries that we understand why this person was targeted and ended up like this."
"Then we will judge and analyze based on this doubt point, and we will be able to understand the meaning behind this symbol and why the perpetrator used this method and means to commit the crime."
"We haven't found out the general direction of the matter. After all, it happened last night when we were away."
"But it's very strange in some places. These people don't seem to care about the victims of their crimes being discovered by us."
"They didn't even bother to deal with the unique flora and fauna in the victim's home."
"Are you saying that the people behind you are really not afraid?"
Mai Fan had a different view. He asked Officer Jing: "The time is still short. I have an immature guess."
"The time for the victim's death was too short, or we discovered that the victim was killed too quickly."
"If my guess is correct, within a few days after the death of the victim, those animals and plants that became special due to his superpowers will return to their own appearance, and will no longer be special than ordinary crops or animals.
Sex."
"It's a return to basics, because the root of what makes them different disappears."
"I also suspect that the person who committed the crime is not Chinese at all."
"Because even the most stupid Chinese people know how difficult it is for a big case not to be discovered in a big city where cameras are everywhere and big data privacy is transparent."
"Probably only in places like foreign countries where public security is chaotic, it takes a long time for people around to notice someone's death."
"But here, if a crime is committed at night, the police will be called the next morning."
"The person you are talking about still runs a farmhouse. Although it is not the peak tourist season and it is not a holiday, this person still lives in the suburbs."
"But his crops are so famous, I can't guarantee that anyone will come here specifically to buy flowers, fruits and vegetables."
"How could people abroad have thought that after being exposed so quickly, it might only take three days, or even one day, for those magical factors to disappear from these things."
"When we find out, we may just attribute them to an ordinary murder case. If the source is not discovered by me, and because of my specialness, I attracted your team..."
"The case in the suburbs of Beijing can at best be classified as one of the major perverted serial murder cases."
"There is no victim in your database. Apart from people praising the naturalness of things around him, there must be no clues that he is a person with supernatural powers."
"By this time, the real murderers will have achieved their original purpose."
"It's just that we need to figure out one thing now: whether the victim's superpower was obtained by the person behind the five-pointed star."
"It would be okay if not, but if there is..."
Mai Fan looked at the person opposite him with a serious face, which would cause panic among our entire group.
A man or even a group of madmen has mastered the method of plundering the abilities of others...
"Do you think we can still live a stable life without being exposed to the general environment of ordinary people?"
"Once a person with superpowers becomes panicked, the damage they can do under the influence of fear is much greater than that of ordinary people."
"Are the people above us ready to face all this?"
"Even if our country, China, has the ability to appease this situation, you have seen it through the mysterious bazaar. Do you think so many foreign countries can do it?"
"What happens when they can't?"
"This world... is going to be in chaos!"
After Mai Fan said this, Officer Jing and the other two fell silent.
It's not impossible for these things to happen, but what can they do? That area is not even the responsibility of their group.
Thinking of this, Officer Jing stood up and began to communicate with the person in charge of the other party.
Feng Xiaoju came over to make some preparations for tonight's action.
After all, Mai Fan's tavern has obtained the qualification to settle in, and his identity provides them with great convenience in continuing their investigation.
But even though they were mentally prepared, when Officer Jing and Feng Xiaoju entered the tavern again, they were still stunned by the extra garden inside.
"How can you expand the capacity here?"
Mai Fan answered confidently: "Aren't there people around you who have space? If not, you have seen those Internet articles about one acre of land and one well."
"Those farming articles, maybe the victims who were killed might also have such things."
"It's even more gorgeous and awesome than my shabby tavern. Their luxurious space can be upgraded. Why can't my shabby tavern have an extra piece of land?"
When Mai Fan said this confidently, everyone thought it was right, so they no longer had any other questions and started to prepare individually.
