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

"Same as last case."

Xi Wei spread out a map on the table. He took out the marker pen next to him and drew a crooked line on the map.

"The surveillance video shows that this time the victim set off from home at 2:30 in the morning, passed by Ningfu Road, went through the shrine, Linglan Middle School, and Fight Club. Then he disappeared around the corner of the surveillance, and reappeared at 4:10 in the morning , was witnessed at the scene of Yamada Shoichi's death."

"Witness?" Jian Shenxiu interrupted her and tapped on the table with her fingers.

"Shangichi Yamada's death was in an alley that no one usually goes to. Was he witnessed there at 4:10 in the morning?"

"Yes." Xi Wei nodded affirmatively.

"We brought back the people at the scene and took the record. The investigation showed that the victim this time made an 'inhuman scream' at that time. Witnesses said that they were eating skewers at the barbecue stall on the opposite street and heard The voice rushed over. When I saw the victim sitting on the ground covered in blood, I was so frightened that I immediately called the police.”

"Bring me the map. Give me the pen. Which BBQ place?"

"This one."

Seeing that Shenxiu pulled the map, he picked up a pen and circled the store that Xi Wei pointed out, then looked at another point on the map that represented the crime scene less than two centimeters away from it, and frowned.

"Separated by a wall."

"Yes, and there is surveillance on that street, and the surveillance video confirms their statement. This testimony is credible." The young female investigator nodded.

"The last time Yamada Shoichi's route was—"

Jian Shenxiu drew another line on the map. It was the route that appeared in the surveillance before the last victim, Shangichi Yamada, was killed.

After the route is drawn, it can be clearly seen that the routes of the two people are on both sides of the Seser River, and there is no overlap at all. But the location where it was finally discovered was in the same place. The straight-line distance between the location where the two last appeared in the surveillance and the location where they were finally found was about one kilometer. But they are two completely different directions.

"..."

Seeing that Shenxiu didn't speak for a while, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

The place where they talked was the Bureau of Investigation conference room at 6 a.m. Last night, I saw that Shenxiu had just led a group of elites from the search bureau to raid the harbor and got some key evidence. After the sun rises, the news of last night's operation will appear on the tables of the major forces. At that moment, many well-dressed dignitaries will point to this news and scold the eighteen generations of ancestors who have seen Shenxiu. However, Jian Shenxiu didn't care about such things at all, and only wanted to think about how to send them to meet their ancestors.

But at this time, the case suddenly changed unexpectedly, and a new victim appeared at the place where the last crime happened. The news came so suddenly that Shenxiu had no choice but to take Xiwei to the hospital without stopping, not even taking his usual assistant Marchesias in time - he arranged another task for him.

So now there are only him and Xi Wei in the entire conference room. After the harbor operation, everyone else was assigned the same mission as Xias, and they have not returned yet.

The milky white light sprinkled from the ceiling of the meeting room, shone on the two of them, and cast a slightly empty shadow on the ground.

"Have you read the victim's file this time?"

After a while, Jian Shenxiu made such an inquiry.

"I see." Xi Wei nodded.

"The victim's name is Zheng Zong. He is a young man who has not yet graduated. He is studying art at Sisyphus Academy. He has nothing in common with the previous victim except that they are all men, and there is no intersection in life. The case happened After that, you asked us to investigate the communication records of the two people, and the result is that there is no intersection. These two people should not know each other."

"No, that's not what I'm talking about."

Seeing Shenxiu shaking his head, he reached out to open a certain file on the tablet next to him, and then pushed the tablet in front of Xi Wei.

"Although it is obvious that it is still the same person, Zheng Zong is a fat man weighing 180 kilograms on the file. His last physical examination in school was a month ago, and he weighed more than 90 kilograms at that time." Jian Shenxiu said softly. Said.

"And the Zheng Zong we saw in the hospital ward just now has a thin body, and should only weigh about 70 kilograms. The thin one even has a jaw line."

"..."

Xi Wei was taken aback for a moment, she really ignored this question. This is an occupational disease. Law enforcement agencies have to identify a large number of photos every day, and a person's image can be greatly changed even if he just changes his hairstyle. In addition, the photos in their files are often several years old. The span, so the difference between the profile and the real person is quite normal in their eyes. Therefore, on this basis, these law enforcement officers have their own logic for identifying images. They will subconsciously look for the iconic features of the target that are not easy to change, such as eye distance, bone shape, and some characteristic scars. On the contrary, some obvious places are habitually ignored.

For example, the most basic and the easiest to change - fat and thin.

"etc……"

So Xi Wei reacted immediately after hearing Jian Shenxiu's reminder, and immediately turned on her own tablet to call up the surveillance video that was coming before. The resolution of the surveillance video is not high, but the general figure is not difficult to recognize. Zheng Zong's figure was still obviously bloated at 2 o'clock in the morning today. He was wearing a white shirt and had obvious sensuality on his cheeks.

Then she called up the video from the body camera of them in the ward at 5 a.m. from the file. This time the video was much clearer, and the emaciated and lifeless face of the patient on the hospital bed soon appeared on the screen.

"this……"

She took screenshots of the two videos separately and put them side by side on the screen of the tablet. Both the surveillance video and the law enforcement recorder will automatically mark the time. Looking at the two pictures with the time on the screen, she was stunned.

2:47:21 AM.

5:23:53 AM.

two photos.

the same person.

Less than three hours.

180 Jin and 140 Jin.

"Obviously this has something to do with the [weirdness] in the mist. Common sense can't achieve such an effect, and liposuction surgery has a recovery period." See Shenxiu leaning back slightly in the chair. "It's just that I don't know what kind of weirdness it is yet."

Only forces beyond common sense can do this.

The search chief turned his gaze out of the window. Naturally, the windows of the meeting room did not have as wide a view as the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, but he could also see part of the orderly street scene of Yukimizawa.

Xue Jianze seems a little quiet now, the sun is still below the sea level, and only a touch of elegant light white is blurred on the distant skyline. At 6 o'clock in the morning, the city is about to wake up, but the streets are already There is a constant flow of traffic.

At this moment, the dust is about to rise, and the lights have just stopped.

Most people in this city have no idea what kind of fog they are shrouded in.

"The situation is getting more and more complicated." The young female investigator sighed. "Mysterious mist, treacherous and weird... From [Yong Ye] five years ago to now... Today's Xue Jianze is really troubled."

"It's just the beginning." However, facing Xi Wei's emotion, Jian Shenxiu just said indifferently, he didn't even look back at her expression, his words were blunt and serious.

"The new order after the chaos is extremely fragile. This fog-shrouded city needs the Search Bureau to do more to avoid greater misfortune."

"yes--"

In a place that Jian Shenxiu couldn't see, the girl curled her lips silently, and the voice of answer seemed a bit reluctant, as if she didn't expect such an answer.

"..."

Then neither of them spoke, and the conference room was silent for a few seconds. Only the antique hanging clock on the wall is still ringing on its own, making the usual clear and orderly sound.

"Let's talk." Finally, the topic changed, and it was rare that there were only these two people in the office. Xi Wei didn't want to let go of this opportunity. After much hesitation, she decided to muster up her courage and speak out suddenly.

"Master Inspector, uh..."

She seemed to want to say something, but she was embarrassed in the middle of speaking, not knowing how to continue.

"Huh?" Seeing Shenxiu turning her head, her red pupils swept away calmly, only seeing Xi Wei's embarrassing expression there, and she didn't understand what she was hesitating about. But he didn't like this time-wasting behavior, so he snorted coldly:

"Speak up if you have something to say."

"Ah-um...uh..."

Xi Wei was obviously startled by Jian Shenxiu's cold snort, and seemed even more hesitant for a while, and after seeing Shenxiu staring at her with those terrifying red eyes for a second after another, she finally shrank her neck , pinching the corners of his clothes repeatedly with both hands under the table, and said cautiously:

"Well, Chief Inspector. I've worked a lot of overtime during this period. This month..." The girl's pretty face was flushed, her brows were shy.

"Is there overtime pay?"
