Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

Messy footsteps kept ringing in the dark alley, along with Zheng Zong's panting sound like a broken bellows. Before this day, he never thought that one day he could pant his voice like this, and he never thought that he also had the potential to run like this.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

He was almost out of breath, and the burning pain spread in his lungs, and every time he took a breath, the trachea seemed to be rubbing against sand and gravel. The saliva became extremely sticky between the throats, and every time he took a breath, he worried that he would be blocked by his own saliva in the next breath.

In this situation, even a sage doesn't care about social morality, but he doesn't even dare to stop for a second to catch his breath and clear his throat. His legs were extremely heavy, as if there were two stones tied to his legs, but at this moment, even with an elephant tied, he only wanted to take another step forward.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

The empty alley was unusually quiet, as if he was the only one in the huge space, his panting echoed wildly between the walls on both sides. Occasionally, one or two phosphorescent lights illuminate his figure, and only cast his own shadow running wildly on the wall.

It was as if nothing was chasing him at all, as if nothing was threatening him at all.

However, he himself knows, he himself knows what is behind it!

That's a monster! real monsters! It's lightning fast and silent! It seems that this kind of thing should not have been discovered by him from the beginning, but before the monster had time to adapt to its new body, it inadvertently revealed its flaws, and when the chest was agitated, it would produce fleshy ears at an extremely low frequency. Visible heartbeat!

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

He ran for his life in a hurry, but he didn't know where he could go. He thought he was familiar with the terrain but had no idea where he was at the moment. Adrenaline pumped out of his body crazily, supporting him to scurry through the labyrinth of alleys like a headless chicken with his exhausted body. , However, this aimless escape suddenly won the end, he stepped into a puddle, staggered at his feet, and fell to the ground in the most embarrassing posture.

"vomit--"

He finally couldn't take it anymore, lying on the ground and retching. It took him more than ten seconds to vomit to clear the sticky phlegm in his throat, and then he barely stood up with his trembling legs, leaning on the wall next to him.

And it wasn't until now that he realized that something was wrong.

Yesterday's rain stopped long ago, but why is there still so much... rain on the ground?

He raised his hand and squinted his eyes, but the moonlight in the sky was too weak after passing through the mist, no matter what he couldn't see clearly what the viscous liquid that slipped on him and stained his whole body was.

Then, as if he heard what he was thinking, the "wall" he just supported moved, and the "wall" overflowed and cracked from the gap, and the two huge eyes were like two shining yellow headlights Illuminates things in the alley.

So he finally saw clearly...

He looked at himself tremblingly all over. that suit...

Scarlet [rain].

"Ah, ah... ah----!!!"

...

"Woo--"

The black special car of the Search Bureau whizzed through the traffic, and slammed to a stop at the entrance of the hospital.

"What's going on?" Jian Shenxiu slammed the door down and yelled at the people who came up to meet him. "Don't tell me your cordons were eaten by dogs!"

"The cordon is intact." The investigator bowed his head and admitted his mistake, whispering.

"By the time we arrived at the scene, a large number of people had gathered, and the footprints were too chaotic to determine how he got into the scene. The only thing that is certain is that he did not pass the cordon. Probably over the wall methods like that."

"Where's the surveillance video?" Jian Shenxiu had an ugly expression. "Didn't you be asked to install surveillance at the scene at that time?"

"We intervened, but there was fog in the city last night." The investigator also seemed helpless. "The monitoring didn't capture anything."

"Search Chief."

Xi Wei got off from the other side of the car. They heard the news just after they came back from the port area. In this case, a clerk was needed, so she came with Jianshenxiu's car.

"It was said on the phone that the victim was not seriously injured this time, let's see if we can get something out of him directly."

She seemed timid when she spoke, seeing that Shenxiu usually only took Xia Si to travel. Although they are all his subordinates in name, for most investigators, they rarely have the opportunity to act together with the chief investigator, except for Markesias, they all lack such experience.

"Why don't you go in and check on the victim first?"

"...you wait here, if you have any news, let me know immediately." Seeing Shenxiu knew that there was nothing to ask from him, so he said directly to the investigator who came to pick him up, and then turned his head to look behind him Xi Wei.

"Xi Wei, you and I go up to see the victim."

"Yes!" The girl looked a little surprised and said loudly.

"..." Seeing her like that, Shenxiu hesitated for a moment. He knew that this girl was capable, but he usually took Xias as his partner. They had rich experience and cooperated tacitly, and they had a deep understanding of how to act in any situation. Xi Wei may indeed have excellent abilities, but such things as experience do not mean that enough ability can make up for it.

But Xia Si is not here now, and it will take at least an hour to call Xia Si from his position. Jian Shenxiu is very patient, but he doesn't like wasting time.

"Have you packed your things?"

In the end, he just said such words, which was a rare reminder for him. Xia Si will definitely do these things well without his telling, but he doesn't know if Xi Wei is also prepared for this.

Spend tens of seconds reminding the assistant, and spend an hour waiting for Xias to come over. In his view, this is a good deal.

"It's all ready."

The girl is full of confidence holding the handbag, even if she is really not confident at this time, she still has to show a confident look. Seeing Shenxiu willing to spend tens of seconds to tell her and seeing Shenxiu willing to spend five minutes watching her repack things are two completely different concepts. If that scene really happened, he probably would rather go up with the recording pen by himself.

Seeing that Shenxiu himself is a Sherlock Holmes-style genius who cares about everything, so being his assistant does not require more genius-like abilities, he only needs to understand his habits and prepare everything for him. At this point, no one has ever done better than Marchesias.

"good."

Sure enough, after hearing this reply, seeing Shenxiu, he turned his head and walked into the hospital without looking back. And Xi Wei had expected this for a long time, seeing that the prestige of Shenxiu was widely known in the search bureau. There are very few people who have actually served as his assistant, but everyone is not afraid to judge him with the harshest attitude.

So she simply saluted the colleague who was waiting here, and immediately followed up. She is 1.6 meters tall, which is not short among girls, but she has to trot to keep up with Shenxiu, who is 1 meter tall. . Soon the figures of her and Jian Shenxiu turned into two small dots in the eyes of that colleague, and disappeared behind the corner door.

"Young." He sighed subconsciously. There are always newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers and dare to challenge the experience and lessons of their predecessors. He would rather stand here than help Jian Shenxiu, not to mention that it takes less than an hour for the two above to finish handling the matter, even if he is a standing guard. Ten hours would be enough to serve as an assistant to that kind of devil.

"I hope the Chief Inspector can see that she is a girl, and he will be more gentle."

He took out a cigarette from his pocket, he had been suffocated to death in the hospital without smoking. At this moment, the action of flicking the cigarette and lighting the fire was exceptionally smooth, with a sense of melancholy that a delicate flower that had just stepped into society was about to be destroyed by the cold society.

...

"How is he doing now? All I can see is some blood on his face."

Through the glass window of the ward, Jian Shenxiu looked at the person sitting there in the ward, his brows slightly raised. He just felt that the scene in front of him was really different from what he expected.

The phone was in a hurry and there were too many things to explain clearly, so he only heard the information that "the victim appeared again at the scene of the case and has been sent to the hospital, and his life is not in danger at present". It's just that the victim in the first case was found to be "fragmented" at the end, so even if he said "not life-threatening", Jian Shenxiu didn't have much expectation for his state.

However, the scene he saw at this moment was quite different from what he had expected. The victim was not only quite "complete" but could even sit on the hospital bed by himself. Go straight to see you can't even see any injuries on him, except for the obvious paleness and vacant eyes.

He just sat there quietly, with dots of blood on his face, staring blankly at the air in front of him. The doctor next to him walked back and forth without attracting his attention, but just opened his dull eyes with exhaustion that seemed to overflow.

"The blood didn't belong to him either. He didn't have any major wounds on his body. From the scene, he plunged headfirst into the scene of the previous victim's murder, and it seemed to have splashed from the ground." Xi Wei whispered beside her while holding her briefcase Speaking of.

"The doctor said that he was frightened. The examination showed that there was no injury, but the sudden excessive exercise caused loss of strength, and it will be fine after a period of recuperation."

"Blood will freeze in five minutes in the air. The last victim has been dead for two days. Why is there still blood splashing from the ground?" Jian Shenxiu frowned and expressed dissatisfaction with this conclusion.

"Have the blood stains on his body and his belongings been checked?"

"It's sent for inspection, and the inspection report hasn't come out yet. If genetic comparison is needed, it will take three hours at the fastest." Xi Wei said quickly. "If it is a gene source that is not in the gene bank, it may take about three days."

"What about surveillance?"

"Someone has been sent to intercept the surveillance video of each block at that time. Now we are identifying the route the victim came from, and I believe a conclusion will be drawn soon."

"Get to the conclusion as soon as possible." Jian Shenxiu nodded and looked at the people in the ward.

"When can I go in and ask him?"

He doesn't seem to care much about the victim's life and death, but the victim who is still alive can provide him with more clues.

"After a while..." The girl raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist. "A minute or so."

"The doctor is sedating him. You have about ten minutes after that. The doctor needs to arrange for him to sleep and rest. The next time he wakes up should be twelve hours away."

This is the preparation work that even seeing the gods can't pick out the thorns, and her work is quite perfect. What's particularly good is that it's all about her communicating the message as she walks up the stairs. When standing at the entrance of the hospital, she didn't know more about the situation than Jian Shenxiu, but when they arrived at the door, she had already fully understood the situation here, and could answer all of Jian Shenxiu's inquiries calmly. She trotted along the way to keep up with Jian Shenxiu's pace while making various phone calls to contact various parties, and Jian Shenxiu didn't even slow down for this.

"very good."

Jian Shenxiu gave a rare evaluation of praise. He didn't have any more questions to ask, and with both hands behind his back, he observed his target through the glass—even if a person didn't speak, the countless details on his body revealed the characteristics of this person anytime and anywhere. Skilled law enforcement officers should be good at grasping this information, and Jian Shenxiu is one of the best.

At the same time, Xi Wei also won a minute for herself—it was said to be a minute, but there were only forty seconds left after the conversation ended. When seeing Shenxiu observing the victim in the ward, she also stood at the side of the inspector and silently observed this man. Usually, few people have such an opportunity, but she won it for herself through her excellent ability. These forty seconds.

What kind of person is this? Xi Wei was a little confused looking at his silhouette, not to mention that there are many legends about this chief inspector in Xuejianze City, and even the employees of the NAVI government themselves know little about this chief inspector. Jian Shenxiu, like the search bureau he led, rose rapidly in the order reorganization after the chaotic era of fog, and quickly became the core link of the NAVI government. Before the chaotic era, no one had heard of seeing the gods and the search bureau, but after the order was reorganized, the search bureau directly became one of the core structures of the NAVI government. From all kinds of crimes to the mysterious "weirdness" in Xue Jianze, they investigate everything, and they separate the three powers in the government from the parliament and the court.

And if we talk about the search bureau, the investigators in it are composed of elites from various departments before, and there are traces of its rise. Then seeing Shenxiu himself is even more confusing. He existed as a search officer at the beginning of the search bureau, and was promoted to search chief in less than a year. In a very short period of time, this mysterious man used his ability to conquer the elites and assassins assembled from various departments in the search bureau. Before anyone could react, he was already in power. In terms of rank, he was second only to the speaker of the parliament, and even equal to the chief inspector of the court.

However, even with such an inexplicable promotion and search bureau, no one in the search bureau questioned it. The establishment of this institution was initially strongly integrated by him, and naturally it also revolved around him. Unlike the inspector general who has to listen to the opinions of other prosecutors, the speaker is also responsible for wrangling with other members of parliament. Seeing that Shenxiu spoke out in the search bureau, every time he sat alone in the upper seat at the search bureau meeting, someone could see the sharpness in the red pupils, majestic as if looking at him. It rises like a mountain, like a sword of sky fire hanging above the nine heavens, making people afraid to look directly at it.

Rumor has it that the search bureau is a monster organization, and the people in it are all elite monsters that make people frightened, and Jian Shenxiu is the king of these monsters. He stood at the head of the meeting room with his hands behind his back, like King Solomon standing indifferently in front of his golden throne, surrounded by devils in front of the steps, and with a command, a demon god would push open the temple door and dive out of the hole.

The search bureau is responsible for investigating the fog and weirdness in Xue Jianze, but the legendary experience of the chief searcher is also one of the weird things that people talk about in private.

"Let's go."

I don't know when the forty seconds have passed, the doctors filed out from the ward and made a "please" gesture to Jian Shenxiu, and Jian Shenxiu also stepped forward unceremoniously. He knew that Xi Wei had just [observed] him—just like he observed the victim this time [observed]. But he didn't care. The superior is the guidepost on the way forward for his subordinates, and he should bear the gazes of his subordinates anytime and anywhere. The time she bought for herself by relying on her ability deserves such a reward.

"……yes."

Xi Wei collected her thoughts, followed Jian Shenxiu quickly, and closed the door of the ward behind him. At this time, all the doctors and nurses in the ward had been evacuated, and only the victim was left alone to face the two of them.

It was a young man with a thin body. He was sitting on a hospital bed, wearing a hospital gown. His head was slightly lowered and his hair was hanging down, making his complexion even more pale. He looked better after the sedative, but was still shaking. Xi Wei could see goose bumps on his face, neck and all the exposed skin, which meant that the muscles pulled under the hairs were trembling involuntarily, telling the deep-rooted fear.

"Tell me." The chief inspector walked straight up to him, like a sharp ax that split a turtle's shell, or a strong light piercing the darkness. Forcefully pierced his release line, forcing the devastated victim to speak.

"What do you see?"

"Heh, heh, heh heh heh—"

However, the victim suddenly let out a toothache laugh, and there was a fine sound between the laughter, which was the sound of the molars colliding when the mouth was trembling.

He raised his head and met the two of them with blank eyes.

"Don't look in the eyes at 2:30 in the middle of the night..."

He grinned convulsively, and the figures of the two were reflected in his lifeless pupils.

"Meet, get up, fog~~~~"
