Chapter 177 145. "I also want to read the curriculum"
This is an era with the rise of forums on various topics.
Adult citizens can publish and browse various contents at will according to the classification system when they do not directly interfere with the human rights of others.
It is now the day before departure. At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Ming has just packed his luggage. The page for receiving the entrustment heard a notification sound of receiving the message——
It was sent by the entruster. The information came and he was actually online now, which was something that rarely happened in my memory.
The middleman who bought blood from Li Dang was always online, and would occasionally send him small advertisements. The client's online name was automatically generated, and the message content was "You can contact this account after arriving in the new world. I will arrange a private meeting," along with a folder.
The folder contains brief information about this case. It can be seen that it has been organized for easy understanding of the case.
In addition to the victim's personal information, and a very blurry photo, he felt a little uncomfortable looking at this photo. He tried hard to distinguish it and could tell that it was an altar, but it was not the same as the altar. The religions he knew were all different.
"Then you put it this way, I am somewhat interested in going to the new world. If we arrange a meeting, will I meet you in person?" Li Ming replied as he typed on the keyboard.
“Do you expect to see it?”
In the dialog box of the man who bought blood, this sentence popped up.
"Of course it is expected. After all, you should know what kind of person I am..." Li Ming paused, "Although curiosity killed the cat, I still feel that this is something I should know. ”
“Then you’ll see.”
The man’s profile picture dimmed and there was no response.
Li Dang sneered to himself. He glanced at the screen of his mobile phone. This was a group chat formed by friends who had gone to the new world together, and there was a man named Tsukishima in it. He seems to be the one who organized this trip.
Tsukishima posted a few words in the group -
"How can we recognize each other when we get together tomorrow? It's best to decide where to live in advance. The local group passed it. The proposal of everyone staying in a hotel together makes it convenient to go to the exhibition by car, and the one marked with a star is where the exhibition is held, and there are slightly fewer people in the afternoon.”
Attached is a random photo of New World City. The map is slightly yellow in color and looks like an ancient scroll that has been stored for a long time, which makes people feel suspicious.
Li Dang raised his eyebrows and did not speak in the group. Instead, he continued to cover himself with a thin quilt and prepared to go to the new world tomorrow.
It is rare to have a good night's sleep without any disturbing dreams.
Li Ming finally had a good sleep, and in the afternoon of the next day, everyone gathered at the predetermined location, went to the hotel, put away their luggage, and then took the car to the exhibition.
The regular clothes Tsukishima wears are no different from those he usually sees, except that the pink shirt he wears seems to be An Tingyan's work clothes, and he is carrying a large cylindrical backpack.
"We are just here to visit the exhibition... We don't have to carry such a heavy and big backpack, right?" Sato, the more active one among the group, asked with some confusion and surprise, "And we are not camping or anything. , just bring some luggage.”< br>
"That's right, just bring some luggage. Just because of personal reasons, I need to bring this item that can help me out of the difficulties. I am a little unsure of myself."
Tsukishima With a calm smile on his face, he said lightly.
"Items to tide you over? When you say this, I'm a little curious. Can you tell me about it or show it to me?"
Li Min raised his eyebrows and stared at the moon in front of him. Island, trying to read something from his face.
"Li Dao is better not to read it. After all, this is my private item, and I don't want you to be affected by me." Tsukishima smiled, "My bad luck is contagious by nature. For our safety, let’s not do this.”
For our safety.
Why do these four words sound so familiar? It seems like I've heard it somewhere before, but just remembering it gives me a headache. Is this a threshold?
"If you say that, I can't help it." Li Ming spread his hands. "In that case, we will continue to visit. As long as you don't mind the weight, you can continue to carry your backpack."
Everyone entered the spacious hotel lobby with their luggage. There were two waitresses working shifts at the front desk. Time difference clocks from different countries were hung on the wall. There was an introduction to the New World on the wall behind it, as well as excellent employees. Display board, on the right is the cafeteria.
If you look around, you can see the sign of Rat State Hotel. By the way, Rat State is the name of this hotel.
Li Dang looked around. Out of instinct, he began to look for some unusual details. In an inconspicuous position on the staff wall, there was a photo of a man with excellent appearance, marked below. The avatar is the president, whose name is Shenmu.
"Okay, we have been on the road for too long, so let's go to the cafeteria and have a good meal." Tsukishima said, having already picked up the cup in his hand and made a large glass of strawberry juice. And some Japanese fast food, "After we finish eating, we will take a rest in the car, and we will go to the exhibition soon."
Li Dang didn't have much idea about the cafeteria. He just chose the ramen he had always eaten, perhaps out of instinct, or because he already liked ramen.
Others in the queue looked at him with strange looks, because they had never seen a person eating at a buffet and would always choose the cheapest food.
“You have to know how to save, do you understand?”
Li Ming didn’t pay attention to these looks. After answering casually, he continued to deal with the big bowl of ramen in front of him.
“What a weirdo.”
Li Ming vaguely heard someone saying this, but he just sneered and continued to deal with it.
After lunch, everyone was waiting for the shuttle bus at the entrance of the hotel. The yellow-green sign was very conspicuous, and there were not many people queuing. The sun was warm.
The pick-up car came soon after, but the car with seats was swaying and making people sleepy, especially after lunch.
In the haze, Li Ming saw a hat appearing in the carriage. It was composed of a long transparent rod connected to a large half of a light sphere and a shining metal.
The rods are all the same gray color, and at the same time they are all radiating and gathered into a whole.
When Li Ming looked at it, he felt strangely that there were many eyes flashing between them, but when he looked carefully, there was nothing there.
Li Ming was looking for something in the rod, and the rod was also looking for something in his mind. The aggregate had submerged his body at some point, and he felt something being squeezed from his body. Peel it out.
Endless corpses litter the field. Seeing your loved ones die in front of you is like a nightmare.
These hallucinations were stirred in his mind, and they turned out to be experiencing sight. His breathing rhythm was gradually deprived of him. On the edge of suffocation, he suddenly thought of a question.
Why do you think this is a hat?
"The temporary parking point of New World Park has arrived. Please line up and get off the bus in an orderly manner."
After a short rest, everyone was suddenly awakened by the arrival announcement, and the shuttle bus braked for a while. After a while, it stopped smoothly. The open door could be seen from a distance, and the temporary white and blue plastic roof of the exhibition was erected.
"White and blue?"
Li Ming narrowed his eyes, not knowing what the meaning was, and showed a somewhat surprised expression.
"What's wrong, Li Ming?" Tsukishima said seemingly concerned, but if you look closely, you can see that his expression is mixed with guilt, and you don't know where it comes from.
"It's nothing, it's just a nightmare." Li Ming said coldly.
Tsukishima looked like he was deep in thought about something. After hearing this, he still didn’t say a word and got off the car behind him.
People were coming and going in the exhibition hall. Some young people were chattering about the content of this small exhibition. There was even a stall selling children's toys and taking photos at the entrance.
Although it is a temporary exhibition shed, there are quite a lot of people visiting here right next to New World Park. The ticket check-in queue is marked in large characters.
The exhibition shed was temporarily built, and there was a simple hand-drawn map at the door. It can be seen that there is only one road inside that connects the four exhibition halls -
"Case Restoration", "Photo Exhibition Area", "Physical Evidence Exhibition Area" , and the final "Special Exhibition Area".
There is also a line of small print on it: It is recommended to visit in order, 2,500 yen per person.
"Reduction of the case"
"It is only an inference based on surveillance and is not used as a basis for judgment of the case."
"At around six o'clock in the evening on the 10th of this month, the victim Kobayakawa set off from his home, took a shuttle bus to the theater, left the theater for some reason an hour later, walked into a nearby shopping street, and finally entered a surveillance blind spot."
< br>"At about 2 a.m. the next morning, the victim was killed. The cause of death has not changed yet. After the surveillance footage was released, no suspicious person was observed. At about 4 a.m., the victim's left arm was abandoned in New World Park. The surveillance footage A message appears on the screen What I saw was a low silhouette wearing a hoodie and a peaked cap, too blurry to be identified."
"[Surveillance footage is attached here]"
"Six o'clock in the morning, right. The arm was discovered by citizens who came for morning exercises, and the police were immediately called."
"[The image of the witness is attached, also in black, and the name is the same as everyone knows, Suzuki Otozaki. 】》
This part ends here.
There was a rustling sound behind him. Li Ming listened carefully and found that it was a heterosexual couple chatting in the distance.
“Ah, it’s the witness, he’s an actor, right?”
“You’re confused, it’s a twin, this is another one, you know what kind of rumors the actor seems to have Right? It’s about private life.”
“So the witness this time is Suzuki Otozaki, she is the elder sister of the twins, and she is also the witness this time, and the younger sister is a theater actress, she... ”
"She had a gangbang party."
What an interesting piece of gossip.
Li Meng did not say anything and continued to read.
"Photo Exhibition Area"
A small temporary exhibition hall. Black and white photos are hung on the wall. The theme and introduction of the shooting are marked under the photos. There is nothing special, even the scene. It's not a particularly extreme type among the ones he's seen.
At a rough look, it can be roughly classified into the following groups: the drag marks of the footprints around the bloodstains near the crime scene, surveillance screenshots, the discovered stumps and appearance, and close-ups of the fractures.
A close-up of the broken limb is very uneven. It was cut with a single-edged knife. In addition, there are traces of what appear to be tooth marks at the broken edge.
Nearby environment and blood stains: The blood stains are almost completely invisible. It seems that they have been cleaned, and the murderer's DNA may be attached, making it difficult to extract.
Drag marks: It can be seen that the drag marks are deliberate, but they are quite messy, as if they were made to cover shoe prints, or were left with a backpack or clothes.
The other photos are nothing special.
Tsukishima, on the other hand, first went to check the close-up of the stump, and then he looked thoughtful, which made people suspicious.
"Evidence Exhibition Area"
The first is the belongings of Kobayakawa Town——
The missing person's work tag: The photo looks like a middle-aged man, although his temperament Boring, but with comely features.
Wallet: According to the introduction, it was found at home, and it contained photos of pet cats.
A ticket for a play: It was last week's New World Theater Center Hall, Shakespeare at 7pm. The ticket was in a checked state, and you could even see traces of multiple tickets stacked together for check-in.
A sleeve of overalls: you can identify him as a toll station staff.
A low-end watch: It looks very ordinary, but it still reads.
After reading this, Li Dang turned his attention to the corridor. In front of it was a message board and a huge gashapon machine.
This is not so much an exhibition hall as it is a corridor. The message board posted on the organizer recommends tourist spots for case lovers [near the street where Kobayakawa disappeared under surveillance], [First Witness Suzuki Otozaki’s home], [the park where the body parts were found], and finally [New World Theater].
In addition, the messy drawings on the big white board were filled with complaints about gashapon machines cheating money, and some of them even started chatting.
"How did I hear that the person who died was a woman? Who would want to read it if there is no class?"
"The woman is missing."
"I heard that the woman was The one who disappeared from the Mouse Island Hotel has long heard that the hotel is haunted."
"I want to see the lesson too."
Li Ming squinted his eyes. These messages could be said to be meaningless, but he still cast his eyes on the whiteboard, because he might be able to see that there were deeper secrets buried inside.
"The ceiling next to it is leaking...damn it!"
"The Rat State Hotel is haunted? Isn't that where the woman who was murdered in the previous part of this case disappeared from? I don't think so. Whoever reports the answer is said to be anonymous."
"If you want to see the small hall in front, remember not to look at the sun immediately after going out."
In addition to the whiteboard, there is also a huge gashapon machine with a gashapon machine hanging on it. A brand——
"Randomly draw peripheral items, 6,000 yen each time."
