Chapter 742: The murderer's purpose? Crocodile's ability to transform into a beast; Tsukis
After hearing that the corpse had non-coincidental missing parts, Chang Le asked, "Is the deceased a supernatural being? Is his origin damaged? Are there any signs of modification on his body?"
Huan Bo said: "Among the three batches of victims who died at different times, there were both ordinary people and people with special abilities. Some of the people with special abilities had their essence damaged or missing, and there were only scars of cruelty on their bodies, no signs of experimental transformation."
He paused and said, "Le Le, are you suspicious of the mutant experiment?"
Chang Le nodded: "But from this point of view, we are not going to capture them for experiments."
Huan Bo said with a headache: "The most crucial and most confusing thing now is why the murderer dug out those parts of the victim's body, and what those parts were used for. If it was the origin, the heart, or the brain, then it is entirely possible to speculate in the direction of supernatural powers, but now there are a few bones missing, what can the bones be used for?"
"At least it's definitely not a temporary hobby." Chang Le said, "Fifty people in two months, and they kept it a secret until now. It must have been the person behind the mutant who ordered it."
"But what is their purpose?"
Huan Bo couldn't figure it out: "They are willing to take a part of the victim even if it means exposing the mutant's tracks. Could it be that the person behind the scenes who manages the mutants is a pervert and has a quirk like collecting corpses?"
Huanbo is already trying to expand his thinking.
"Quirk...quirk?"
Something suddenly flashed through Chang Le's mind, but disappeared before he could catch it.
When Huan Bo mentioned the word "quirk", a related term flashed through her mind, but she didn't even see it clearly.
Helplessly, Chang Le had to let them continue their exploration and told them to be careful:
"It's unlikely that this was a spur-of-the-moment plan. They kept it a secret for two months, but suddenly there was such a big mistake. Either they deliberately exposed it and lured you into a trap; or it was accidentally exposed, and they will definitely try to erase as many clues as possible. In any case, they may take action against you, so you must be careful."
Huan Bo said, "Don't worry. Changfeng and I are both ninth-level masters here, and Xiao Fu can also protect himself. We can take care of each other, so even if they attack, it won't be a big problem."
Chang Le was also confident in the cultivation of the three of them, so he hung up the phone.
Chang Le thought for a moment and asked Xue Wuwang, who was temporarily handling all matters on behalf of Luo Xuan, to sort out the information about mutants collected in recent years that might be related to Shazhou City.
After Xue Wuwang received the order, Chang Le returned to the Dragon Tomb.
……
When Huan Bo returned to the temporary office tent, he found that only Team Leader Hu and others were not there. When he asked about their whereabouts, Forensic Doctor Jiang told him:
"Oh, because many of these bones have traces of being soaked in seawater, it is suspected that they were placed near the ships in the port or in underwater warehouses. So Captain Hu went back to investigate the warehouses and ship usage records in the port, and will send people to search suspicious places later. After all, it is impossible to handle such a large number of bones without leaving any traces."
Huan Bo thought: "We have only found 19 people so far, so there are still more than people missing.
The latest batch of deaths happened five days ago. When Wu Zhicheng got into trouble that day, the entire Shazhou City was under martial law, and all imports and exports were strictly checked. The bodies were placed here, which means that some of them, especially the latest batch, were not dealt with in time, and there must be some left in Shazhou City. If we can find those people, it will be of great help in solving the case."
He thought for a moment and asked the person in charge: "Which companies are behind the major ports in Shazhou City?"
The person in charge then gave him the details.
Huan Bo handed a copy to Captain Hu and glanced through it himself. "Those who cannot be processed in time will be buried on the spot. As for the destination of those who have been processed, it is nothing more than transporting them inland or out by sea, both of which must go through the channels of these companies."
Another whole day passed.
During this period, Wu Zhicheng's situation has been reported to his family, but because his body still needs to cooperate with the investigation, it cannot be buried for the time being.
His parents cried so hard that they wanted to see their son but were stopped and told that the body looked ugly. They guessed that their son had suffered a lot of torture before his death, and they collapsed and fainted several times. Fortunately, both of them were reasonable people. After their emotions eased a little, they begged the authorities to solve the case as soon as possible and give their son justice.
The couple had only this one son, who aged a dozen years overnight. When they walked out of the detective bureau, their backs supporting each other were heartbreaking to see.
Everyone devoted themselves to the investigation. Captain Hu led his men to check the suspicious port ships and warehouses in Shazhou City day and night.
On the other side, Changfeng and Fu Heqing's testing found clues.
After Changfeng detected the energy traces at the scene, he confirmed that this was a crocodile beast ability. The prototype of this beast ability was the Siamese crocodile, which was mainly distributed in the Moon Island in the southeastern sea area and the Sunny Kingdom south of the South China Sea. There was no such crocodile beast ability in the Middle-earth.
In addition, through the inspection of half a piece of scale armor, it was confirmed that it was the beast ability evolved from the Siamese crocodile. It was also confirmed that there were abnormalities in the energy fluctuations. Its energy was extremely unstable and could no longer be completely classified as a human ability. It was confirmed that the murderer was indeed a mutant who had undergone relatively serious mutations.
Fu Heqing tested the metal crystals left on Wu Zhicheng's body and found that the DNA and energy on them were successfully matched with the traces left at the scene. He also found drug components in the trace blood on them. Later, he confirmed that the name of this variety is "Hot Fire".
"Heat!" The agent's face changed, "This thing is a new species in the past few years, mainly in the equatorial countries south of the South China Sea, the southern part of the Meli Federation, and the eastern part of South America.
Captain Yang and I have previously destroyed a hideout that had just moved to Middle-earth, and we conducted tests on the confiscated hot fire. This thing has supernatural powers!"
Huan Bo was surprised: "Huh? This thing can have super powers?"
The agent thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good wording.
Chang Feng continued, "Let me tell you, I have learned about this thing. It contains a small amount of supernatural power that can calm the nerves. Compared to ordinary types, this one, which targets supernatural beings such as supernatural beings, will have a greater addictive side effect.
However, the calming effect is only temporary. Long-term use will increase the dependence on the soothing effect of the supernatural power. In the end, if you quit, in addition to the normal withdrawal reaction, you may also experience the possibility of losing control of your supernatural power. "
"Wait!" Captain Hu keenly caught a clue, "Then will the mutants also have the same effect after taking it?"
Chang Feng nodded: "Not only that, it will make them more dependent, and the side effects will be more serious. Because the mutants themselves are too highly mutated, it is difficult for them to control themselves, and they are often affected by the pain of the mutation. This heat can suppress their pain more effectively than any other species.
But at the same time, once they try to quit, the backlash of the mutation will be doubled, and they may completely become inhuman monsters! "
Huan Bo narrowed his eyes slightly: "And now, someone is providing this disgusting stuff to the mutants. These mutants are deliberately abusing humans."
Everyone present was horrified.
