Chapter 81 Assistance
The next day, the Fifth Hospital
The Municipal Investigation Bureau has sent documents, specifying that the patient detained here, Luo Di, will be the "assistant" ” identity to help them deal with a relatively special abnormal event.
Once completed, it will not only prove that Roddy's strange behavior during the hospitalization is meaningful, but also prove that his spirit is basically stable and he can contribute to the country.
Of course,
Even if he is an important person designated by the Bureau of Investigation, Roddy still needs to pass a basic mental test before being discharged.
[Psychological Examination Room]
Luo Di passed all the tests, and his communication with the attending physician was completely normal.
It is completely different from the erratic eyes and strange conversations without warning when he was admitted to the hospital two months ago. It seems that the whole person has really fully recovered.
In this case,
The doctor also signed his name on the appraisal form, and Roddy could leave the hospital temporarily.
Putting his heavy hiking bag on his back, Luo Di took the elevator downstairs.
If you don’t count the last time he was discharged from the hospital during a coma, this is the first time he has left the hospital since he came to Pluto City.
Who knows, I happened to meet the dean in the lobby who was about to go upstairs.
Maybe the dean also knew that Luo Di would leave the hospital temporarily today and waited here in advance.
"Rody, be careful when you go to assist the investigation bureau this time.
Although our Pluto City is least affected by the corner, some strange things will occasionally happen. If you feel that your mind is unstable, take medicine in time. Please take medicine or come back for consultation, don’t hold on.”
“Okay, Dean.”
The Dean looked at Luo Di who was walking away, and looked at the backpack behind him. Thinking back to the strange thing that happened in the office yesterday.
Today’s farewell, he actually wanted to take the opportunity to check his backpack,
After watching Roddy pass through the security inspection machine at the hospital gate, he immediately came to the side of the security inspector and asked to review the scene of his backpack passing through the machine.
Sure enough, there were just paper balls inside, and even the smiling face and the signature given to the dean were clearly displayed on the high-definition screen.
"Although Rody is a connector, it is impossible for him to turn a paper ball into a human head out of thin air. And even if he does change, it is his own private matter. As long as he can be sure that he is mentally stable and can serve the country Just do the work.
Oh, I’m about to retire, it’s time to go back and enjoy my old age, and stop burdening the hospital.”
The director rubbed his bald head. Take the elevator back to the office on the third floor.
It happened that the janitor was cleaning the office, and the dean came forward to say hello politely, and motioned to wipe away the blood stains left by Roddy as much as possible.
"Dean, where do you put this thing?"
"What thing?"
"This is a ball of paper with some blessings written on it. ”
The cleaning lady who was cleaning the area between the sofa and the bookcase unexpectedly found a paper ball,
Looking at the paper ball held in the cleaning hands,
the old dean slumped down in his seat.
Thinking again of the black hair and white skin he saw at that moment, the dean His heart rate immediately spiked.
But it didn't take long for him to stabilize. He lit a cigarette that he hadn't smoked for a long time and looked out the window with a relieved expression.
……
[Pluto City Investigation Bureau]
Different from Jupiter City, it is a ring-shaped structure with an apron in the middle and covers an extremely large area.
This is just a dark gray high-rise building in Brutalist style. The helipad is on the roof. Although the area is not comparable, the overall building is towering into the clouds, huge and deep, giving visitors a huge impression. visual pressure.
As a fringe city, Pluto City has fewer abnormal incidents, but they seem to be responsible for handling other things here. The number of employees in the Investigation Bureau is no less than that in other urban areas.
Another thing to mention is,
Jupiter City is dominated by Chinese people, while Pluto City is dominated by Italians, accounting for more than 70% of the total population.
[Face Recognition]
Acquired Luo Di’s facial information in less than half a minute.
An Italian man with black curly hair took the initiative to greet him. Although his clothes were very mature, his appearance should not be more than 27 years old.
“Hello~”
A very poor Chinese greeting, a signature smile, and a very firm handshake.
Rodi responded when shaking hands: "Just speak the language you are good at, I can understand it."
The man originally wanted to switch to Italian, but he chose the last choice. Common Russian.
"Marco Rubio, trainee investigator.
Thank you very much Mr. Roddy for coming to assist our authorities in handling a relatively special abnormal incident. The time spent in handling the incident will be taken up by me. Come pick you up.
Later, I will tell you the details of the incident and then direct you to your temporary residence. "
Rodi asked: "Don't a mentally ill person like me need to live here with you? "
"Now that you have passed the discharge test, you are no longer a patient during this period. Most importantly, the incident that requires your assistance is related to the temporary accommodation arranged for you, so please take a seat. "
"No need to go to the archives or your office? ”
Marco shook his finger, "No need, I have brought the relevant documents, we just need to talk in the lobby, efficiency comes first.
Besides, the Investigation Bureau prohibits non-internal personnel from going to other floors.
This is an event document. If you don’t understand something, you can ask me at any time.”
The two sat on opposite sides of the sofa in the hall, separated by a marble table.
A document bag that was not too thick was pushed over,
Marco suddenly realized something and stood up and bowed, "Oh~ I'm sorry! I didn't notice your physical condition, please allow me to open the file for you."
"It's okay, I still have one hand. Convenient. ”
Rodi opened the document bag with flexible finger movements and took out the internal documents, which were recorded in official Russian.
≮The case of missing men in the Chinese neighborhood≯
Overview: From 2023.08.05 to the present, a total of four people have disappeared in the Chinese neighborhood, including a foreign Chinese tourist who came to Pluto City.
There were no problems with the corner inspection in the Chinese neighborhood, excluding the disappearance caused by physical corners.
The missing persons are all young men aged between 18-22 years old, with Chinese nationality.
Investigators have launched a blanket search of the neighborhood but have not found the source of the disappearance.
......
After a brief look, Luo Di understood what the other party meant.
"You want me to "disappear" too?"
"Yes, you meet the criteria of a victim very much. With your strength, you can handle this incident from the 'inside'. Of course, you have "Right to refuse."
Rody suddenly stuck his head forward and stared directly at the investigator in front of him, "I can take it. But I have a condition."
Facing the pressure from Rody, Marco still maintained a professional smile, "Our authorities will try our best to satisfy you, just tell me."
"Since the incident is handled by me alone, if there is a dummy behind it, the other party's "pituitary gland" belongs to me, and everything else does not matter. ”
"Wait a minute, I need to ask the higher-ups for instructions."
Marco immediately sent a string of messages and received a quick response,
"Well! As long as you investigate and handle the incident independently, After the pituitary gland is recovered, the corresponding [pituitary gland] can To give it to you. Of course, this matter needs to be registered in your personal file.”
Rodi then poured out four more documents. The memory card has the Chinese names of the four missing persons written on it.
"What is this card?"
"A collection of videos taken by local surveillance 24 hours before the disappearance. You can take a closer look when you go back."
Luo Di nodded, "The basic situation I already understand. Give me the key to your residence and I will go there myself. That’s fine. If you, the investigator, are sent there, it’s very likely that the snake will be alerted.”
“Indeed, please go to the residence as soon as possible and try not to go to irrelevant places.”< br>
“Okay.”
Just when Rody was about to stand up and leave, the other party's palm fell gently, landing on the left shoulder of the missing arm.
“A mutilated body may cause you to be excluded from the [incident target]. After all, the four missing people are all able-bodied.
Director Wang also talked about this when he contacted us before, You seem unwilling to wear mechanical prosthetics."
"Yes."
"How about this?"
Marco took out a suitcase that he had prepared long ago from beside the sofa, opened it and faced Roddy.
There is a human arm inside. At least on the surface, it looks like a real flesh and blood structure.
“This is a relatively cheap bionic arm. It does not have the combat characteristics of a mechanical prosthesis and is only used in daily life.
This arm was commissioned by Director Wang and is designed according to your body shape It is made with perfect proportions and can meet daily requirements.
As long as you put it on, your appearance will look like a normal person. Do you want to try it?
Although you may be repelled by foreign objects that are not your own body, I still suggest you consider that a complete body is more in line with the standards of a victim. "
Speaking of this, Marco also moved closer to his face,
"I heard, Roddy, that you hate corner-related things very much. I believe you have been in the hospital for two months. Feeling hungry and thirsty? You shouldn't miss this opportunity.
There is one more thing. Director Wang has repeatedly asked me to give it to you personally. ”
The mezzanine of the box where the bionic arm was stored was opened, and a very familiar smell of corpses immediately ran out...
