On the morning of November 21, 2145 AD, the 312th day after the sun "disappeared", the surface temperature at this time had approached minus 100 degrees Celsius. Except for the depths of the ocean, there were no living things on the surface of the earth...
"This strange and boring civilization is gradually falling into the abyss on the edge of struggle... Once upon a time, people praised and praised it, thinking that this was destined to be a golden age! But now, this civilization has accelerated into the bottom... The so-called
Progress, the so-called education, seems to be no different from the people who used to drink blood. Even if they break out of the earth, they will still be the natives rowing in the universe!" The man with leaky teeth laughed and said all the nonsense.
Chen Shuang stood outside the door and looked at the two men on the surveillance screen.
"It's always been like this, one is talking nonsense and the other is telling stories." Chen Shuang's deputy, Li Yalin, has not slept a wink for three days and nights.
In order to find the real culprit as soon as possible, the entire task force is working continuously.
Chen Shuang listened silently.
"In addition, we have also targeted three suspects, two of whom have been successfully captured so far, and the whereabouts of another one are unknown." After speaking, Li Yalin handed over the crystal plate.
Chen Shuang took it and saw that they were all young people under the age of twenty, including a beautiful girl who looked harmless.
After briefly scanning the identity information of these three people, Chen Shuang asked: "What did the Qingshui family say?"
"Rang Qingshui is still on the first axis, and Masato Qingshui...she doesn't even know that there is a Qingshui Gen in her family." Li Yalin smiled bitterly and said: "I think...this line is a bit
It’s too complicated, so we took a long detour.”
Hearing what her assistant said, Chen Shuang didn't express an opinion, but she didn't think that it was a long way round to find out Shui Huan based on that bizarre story. On the contrary, that might be the only way to find out the truth.
"So, are there any new clues about Takahashi Yinji?"
Li Yalin thought for a while and replied: "Not yet."
"Well... well, you continue to stare here. If you find anything new, remember to notify me in time. Also... if the people from the first central axis want to come and take over, you can delay it for now. Do you understand?"
Li Yalin was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "I understand."
"Yeah." Chen Shuang patted Li Yalin's shoulder and sighed: "Yalin..."
"Um?"
"You said... is that Takahashi Yinji really still alive?"
Li Yalin frowned and thought for a while before saying: "I'm not sure, but if he is really still alive, he is indeed an old monster."
Chen Shuang smiled slightly when he heard this: "You're right, old monster!"
…
On the way to Qingshui Masato's residence, Chen Shuang opened a secret communication channel, and after a while, a lot of news poured in.
The first is about the recent state of the people.
More than 100 people were killed in tragic circumstances. If this matter is not handled well, it can easily trigger a round of panic. If someone with a deliberate intention adds fuel to the fire, it may even lead to riots.
But what surprised Chen Shuang was that those "warriors of the country" who had not completely cleaned up the situation not only did not use the topic to show off, but were more honest than usual.
This is naturally a good thing for the guardians of order like Chen Shuang, but the question is... why?
In addition to these, Chen Shuang is also paying attention to the latest developments after the special service team was disbanded and reorganized.
These reserve personnel, who had previously remained anonymous and existed as ordinary people, did not do anything suspicious after taking over the work of the special service team.
While Chen Shuang felt at ease, he was also using his private equity power to secretly investigate whether there were more similar "reserve personnel".
However, no new discoveries have been made since the private power she recalled began to operate.
After listening to these reports, Chen Shuang closed the communication channel, closed his eyes and began to think about the series of recent events.
First, missing persons attracted the attention of inspectors.
Then the "Warriors of the Country" were exposed, and one of the two key figures had his throat cut, while the other was captured without mercy.
Although Chen Shuang had suspected her intention to arrest Mary Li from the time she was arrested, until she was executed, Chen Shuang made no new discoveries, which made people a little unpredictable.
Logically speaking, based on Chen Shuang's understanding of former agents like Mary Li, their desire to survive is extremely strong, and the more dangerous the situation, this desire to survive can even stimulate their inner potential.
Chen Shuang couldn't believe that a "famous" former international agent like Mary Li could be captured alive with just a few hypnotic gases.
But believe it or not, she was caught and executed.
This matter is basically over...
But unexpectedly, just a few days later, Chen Shuang's superiors suddenly ordered the dismissal of the existing members of the special service team, and at the same time, a large number of reserve personnel hidden among the ordinary people were added to the special service team.
Through this incident, Chen Shuang realized that his every move might be being monitored at all times.
Although Chen Shuang was a little unhappy about this, he could only carry out the order dutifully...until...Chen Shuang's husband suddenly visited.
This man who abandoned his wife and children many years ago and followed an old Taoist priest into the mountains to learn mysteries has been elusive since his divorce from Chen Shuang.
Chen Shuang gradually got used to it, but he didn't expect that after the disaster, he could come and leave as he pleased.
Moreover, the timing and purpose of its appearance are quite intriguing.
With his help, Chen Shuang discovered an astonishing secret, a strange and even somewhat unbelievable truth.
That is, Zou Ming, who was once diagnosed by forensic doctors as having his throat cut to death, was most likely shot to death with bare hands at close range.
Chen Shuang didn't know who killed him, and her husband didn't say either.
But her husband told Chen Shuang a key point, that is, this guy is extraordinary and he should be considered a "friend".
After going through the above events, Chen Shuang suddenly realized that she might have been inadvertently involved in an incident that was more complicated and dangerous than what she had seen or imagined.
At this time, Chen Shuang had three choices.
The first choice is to think nothing and let nature take its course. This is what most people think, and it may also be the most beneficial choice for Chen Shuang.
The other two options may put Chen Shuang in danger.
The second option is to summarize all these things and form a report and submit it, and implore the organization to send an investigation team into the shelter to solve the mystery. The advantage of doing this is that it is in compliance with the rules. No matter what the organization does next, Chen Shuang will
correct.
But the problem is that in this way, Chen Shuang, who has become a malicious person, is very likely to expose himself and become a "fool" who is exposed to others' calculations.
Why do you say that?
This can be traced back to Chen Shuang's battle with the "Warriors of the Country" in Antarctica many years ago.
At that time, Chen Shuang captured three "Warriors of the Country" alive and accidentally discovered that not only did they have special identities, but the sources of their weapons and equipment were also very suspicious, so she reported these findings.
Unexpectedly, instead of being praised by his superiors, Chen Shuang's move was scolded by his own boss.
As for the reason... After being asked by others, Chen Shuang realized that the original problem lay in the batch of weapons and equipment of suspicious origin.
These "warriors of the country" found in the shelter this time also hid a lot of weapons and equipment of unknown origin as before. Considering the safety of the people, Chen Shuang naturally wanted to collect them as much as possible and investigate them one by one.
Clean up hidden dangers.
However, in the report, Chen Shuang deliberately avoided the issue of the source of these weapons and equipment, and even directly took the responsibility for his negligence in allowing these items to enter the base.
From the perspective of Chen Shuang in the past, doing this was firstly irresponsible, and secondly, it was just a hot-headed attempt to cause trouble for himself.
What I didn't expect was that after reading the report, her superiors, instead of punishing Chen Shuang accordingly for the negligence she mentioned, instead thought that she acted quickly and reliably, and that the matter was handled in a timely and appropriate manner.
commendable.
Through this incident, Chen Shuang felt even more that things were unusual.
At the same time, she also understood that if she compiled and reported all these findings, it was very likely that she would be dismissed with a piece of paper and the matter would be settled.
So the second option was the one Chen Shuang gave up first.
But it was against Chen Shuang's conscientious and responsible nature of justice to act like she hadn't seen anything done and turn a deaf ear, so she decided to make a secret deployment according to the third option.
This third option is a bit of a gamble, and is even more dangerous than the first two options.
First of all, Chen Shuang almost "blatantly" and "secretly" recalled all the dismissed personnel and gave them new tasks in a private name.
Although these people no longer have weapons and equipment in their hands, they are still the best soldiers. Even without weapons and equipment, they are still very powerful when they are gathered into an organization.
Chen Shuang's move can be said to be a serious violation of regulations, even illegal!
But she just wanted to test it. Who should she test?
Naturally, it was the superior organization that was observing her every move.
Judging from the situation in the past few days, the superiors have tacitly approved of Chen Shuang's actions, or... although Chen Shuang has raised his own power privately, he has not done anything extraordinary. The superiors are still observing and are not
I plan to rush to clean up.
Chen Shuang also knows it well, and at the same time, her private recruitment of power is indeed not for personal gain or to engage in retaliatory sabotage.
Her purpose of bringing back these people who had been dismissed was to continue to investigate the cause of "Zou Ming"'s death, or... she wanted to find out why Mary Li was willing to be captured alive! What kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of "The Warrior of the Country"!
Are there any greater hidden dangers beneath this tranquility?
This is Chen Shuang's purpose.
But what Chen Shuang never expected was that just as she made up her mind and put it into action, a major case occurred.
This case is the most serious serial murder case in all shelters in mainland China since the disaster!
The extremely vicious gangsters used unimaginable horrific methods to brutally kill one hundred and thirty-seven innocent civilians. The perpetrators also dismembered the bodies of all the victims and arranged them into shapes with unknown meanings.
The challenges encountered during the investigation phase of this case can be said to be unprecedented.
First of all, there are three problems before Chen Shuang.
First, why did the murderer choose to commit the murder two hours before work started, and how did he brutally kill 137 civilians without anyone noticing? And? He even had time to kill these innocent victims.
dismembered and arranged into figures?
This is impossible in theoretical models.
Regarding this point, other investigators of the investigation team have the same doubts as Chen Shuang.
After on-site investigation and criminal investigation deductions, the investigation team led by Chen Shuang believed that this was a premeditated and vicious terrorist attack involving multiple people. There was definitely not just one perpetrator, even if all the deceased were strangled.
, all the victims' bodies were dismembered in a uniform manner, and it cannot be determined that this was a crime committed by one person in terms of time.
Although such a conclusion sounds silly, if it were to be heard by the common people, I'm afraid it would be called nonsense...
However, Chen Shuang and others came to such a conclusion after scientific and rigorous investigation, research and discussion.
Because the deaths of these one hundred and thirty-seven people... were really too similar...
In addition to the different shapes of the dismembered corpses, other... including DNA comparisons of suspicious meat scraps found at multiple sites... multiple pieces of evidence including the golden ratio of all 137 corpses when they were dismembered
All indicate that they are as "uniform" as lambs that have been uniformly processed by machines.
After the first problem appeared, the investigation team had not yet found the answer, and the second problem appeared.
If this is an organized and premeditated collective crime, it can even be upgraded to a terrorist attack.
So how does such a secret organization achieve a seamless process from premeditation to deployment to execution of the killing plan without revealing any clues?
Even if they are not engaged in criminal investigation, most people know that clues and evidence are needed to solve a case.
In criminal cases such as homicide, the time of committing the crime, the location of the crime, the method of committing the crime, the motive of the crime, and the tools for committing the crime are all points that must be paid attention to.
Now, the time, place and method of committing the crime have been clarified, but there are still no clues about the tools and motive of the crime.
No matter how accurate the autopsy report is, if you can't find the tools to commit the crime, you just can't find it... This cannot be vaguely explained through words.
In addition, the most important point.
Motive for committing the crime.
This is what worries Chen Shuang the most when he comes in.
…
"Now the two suspects who are most likely to be involved in this organized crime have been arrested, but from their confessions, there is no specific harvest yet." The deputy leader of the investigation team is the Public Security Bureau of Shelter No. 1.
Zhang Yenan, captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
He cleared his throat and projected the identity information of the two suspects in the center of the conference room.
"Fan Jilong, male, born on March 1, 2110, citizen serial number xxxxxx." After briefly explaining the identity information of suspect No. 1, Zhang Yenan looked at the crowd and said: "This is the storyteller. From him
We got some potentially useful clues from his mouth, such as... A similar thing happened in Kyoto, Japan more than a century ago, and... According to his story, there are two important people involved, one is Takahashi
Yinsi, one is..." Zhang Yanan did not continue when talking about the second person.
Everyone in the conference room had a tacit understanding and did not ask any questions.
"After getting these clues, we have contacted the relevant responsible persons of the Japanese Zhengxing government as soon as possible, but unfortunately... all the criminal investigation files archived in Kyoto, Japan have long been lost, and the backup data that exists in the archives
It was placed in the core database of Shelter No. 1 of the Omano Ecological Zone in the occupied New Tokyo City."
Hearing this, there were whispers in the conference room.
Chen Shuang also frowned, feeling that things were too coincidental.
Zhang Yenan coughed, and the conference room returned to silence.
"Uh-huh... I know this is a bit too coincidental, but it is indeed a clue. We have also entrusted our colleagues in No. 04 Vault, New Tokyo City's Wangye Ecological Zone, to go to No. 01 Vault to find these key backup data.
.”
Chen Shuang heard this and asked: "Team Zhang, I have a question. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"
"Well, please tell me."
"I have carefully read the resume of the criminal suspect named Fan Jilong. Before he was arrested on suspicion of committing a crime, he had been working in an area far away from the crime scene. Even if he got off work early that night and disappeared, it does not mean that he was
Participant, and the reason why he is currently being summoned as a suspect for investigation is entirely because he personally surrendered and broke into the crime scene and destroyed the body of a victim. This... don't you think it is unethical?
, and is there something fishy about it?"
As soon as these words came out, the venue became noisy again.
Some people have the same idea as Chen Shuang, but there are also some people who think that Chen Shuang should not mention illegal things at this time. In their view, extraordinary measures should be taken in extraordinary times, and it cannot be because there is no direct proof.
If it is proven that Fan Jilong was not a participant in the tragedy, he should not be locked up and subjected to twenty-four hours of torture.
The controversy is becoming more and more intense.
Zhang Yenan knocked on the table and said: "Okay, stop arguing. Is this the time to argue about these things?"
The conference room fell silent for an instant.
Chen Shuang was a little embarrassed. She looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, what I mean is..."
"What Captain Chen means is that Fan Jilong has taken the initiative to surrender and tell us stories. This is worth pondering! It should be treated with caution! Captain Chen, what I said...isn't it right?" Zhang Yanan grabbed it.
Chen Shuang’s words.
Chen Shuang smiled gratefully, nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I mean."
"Well, I actually have similar thoughts." Zhang Yanan stood up and walked around as he walked. He lit a pipe as he walked: "Before entering the shelter, Fan Jilong was an executive of a listed company engaged in second-hand car trading.
, his annual income is more than ten times that of everyone here...and I also heard that after the disaster, he spent all his money to settle his family in Hainan Shelter No. 3, while he chose to stay.
Here in Beijing, he took the initiative to apply to become a resource recycler... Such a good man who loves his family and is kind and righteous suddenly surrendered and said that he had killed someone, and told us such a strange story... Everyone... think about it...
