Chapter 1 01: Big case


Chapter 1 01: Big Case

The sirens are buzzing.

Rainy and dark clouds shrouded the place.

Kita Senju Station Exit.

The symphony of the Metropolitan Police Department, SAT, and ambulances created a tense atmosphere. The water on the ground reflected the blue and red flashing lights. People passing by gathered around the human wall and talked about it. Some people would rather be late and hold an umbrella to watch the excitement, taking photos and tweeting along the way.

Several reporters were standing in front of the cordon, wearing raincoats, facing the camera, holding microphones and telling them the information they had just learned.

In the footage, heavily guarded, heavily armed SATs and assisting police officers guarded various positions. From time to time, medical staff carried stretchers to carry out the wailing injured people and put them into ambulances.

"Chief Noguchi, the information about the perpetrator is out."

At this time, the subway platform was a mess.

There were dropped mobile phones, briefcases, ties and other objects all around. From this scene, you can immediately imagine how big the riot was and how panicked the crowd was.

This situation usually occurs in crowded places, because most of the people injured in the stampede will be more than the number of direct casualties.

The only exception is today. More people died from the murderer than were injured in the stampede.

Noguchi Yushi looked away from the corpse of the perpetrator on the ground, which was surrounded by his colleagues from the forensic department and the forensics department. He took the file and briefly glanced at it. Not only was his frown not relieved, but he took the entire file with him. His face wrinkled up.

Sato Kafeng, forty-five years old, is an insurance practitioner, at the level of deputy section chief. He is a good man, has a wife, and has no children. His social circle is concentrated among colleagues. Everyone he knows says he is a normal office worker. I've never seen him get angry because he's not in good health and doesn't do any exercise like fitness. Totally an ordinary person.

"First investigate his company and colleagues, and then see if he has been in contact with anyone who is not in his circle of friends recently. Also, list his wife as a key surveillance target."

"Yes!"

Noguchi Yushi took a deep breath and stepped into the open train door. What he saw was like a Shura hell of flesh and blood. The smell of blood rushed towards his face, and a large amount of blood sputtered. It was sprinkled all over the glass, walls and even the roof of the carriage. The blood collected on the ground was like a pool of water, dripping along the edge of the door.

Even the head of the Investigation Section No. 1, who often dealt with various murderers, suffered a huge visual and mental impact. I heard that several newcomers to the forensic department also suddenly lost their ability. I couldn't stand such a "fresh and hot" scene and vomited directly.

His eyes swept over the stumps that had just been marked with difficulty, and he made a low voice.

"Ordinary people, huh."

Shiraishi Hang considers himself an ordinary person.

He doesn’t think he will be the protagonist of this world, even if he is a time traveler, but when he travels to a different world like Tokyo, his identity is not that of a high school student, which means that he may be a soy sauce character. The manga only has two pages of scenes, and the anime only has three minutes of footage.

Maybe, not even a lens.

So he has been living cautiously.

I was afraid that I would do something outrageous and be wiped out by some ordinary high school student who would appear out of nowhere and represent the moon.

Fortunately, the person whose soul he possessed was a Nite.

There is almost no social circle, and I have to rely on my brother for support a lot of the time.

But unfortunately, this man's memory has nothing of value at all.

And there are many versions of suicide notes in the memo, and it seems that he will definitely die suddenly or commit suicide.

In general, there is nothing to introduce. It can be summed up in one sentence: a shunner who has lost the courage to face interpersonal relationships and communication.

His brother also hated him, but he had long since lost the power to preach. But in the end, the family affection made him still pay for water, electricity, broadband and other expenses for his brother every month. The house left by his parents after his parents died was also given to his brother, and he rented a house near his work.

It’s not an exaggeration to call him a good brother in Tokyo. He is fully worthy of his status as an older brother.

Simple interpersonal relationships allowed Shiraishi to be replaced quietly.

And he also began to study his "superpowers".

A superpower that seems to have appeared because of his time travel.

Parasitism and symbiosis.

He can vomit several thumb-sized parasites per week, depending on his nutritional intake, but there is an upper limit.

After someone takes it, he can choose to parasitize or symbiote it.

Parasite is a complete control, but it is difficult to control the main body and the parasite at the same time. After parasitism, the parasite can also be used to produce new parasites, but strictly speaking it is transferred from the main body, so the more parasites that do not exist, the more parasites will be produced.

The other is symbiosis.

The parasite can share its abilities other than parasitism with the symbiote. At the same time, it gives the symbiont the opportunity to mutate and then feed back its abilities to the original owner. This is a mutually beneficial relationship.

But as mentioned before, Shiraishi Hong is cautious, so even the experiments are conducted on small animals such as mice, cats, and crows. Even dogs are of no use. After all, stray dogs cannot be encountered. It would be inappropriate and expensive for him to suddenly buy a dog. In the nearly one year since time travel, he has not dared to attack anyone. This is not because he has a noble sense of morality, but because he is simply worried about ordinary high school students in Tokyo.

The information he learned about this world is not his original world at all. The technology is still a little more advanced, so he is worried that this is a certain novel or animation plane, peaceful Tokyo. There are many strange people with different abilities and extraordinary methods hidden there, as well as the student protagonists who are just starting out but have unlucky luck.

His plug-in, which requires someone to eat a bug alive to work, is no match for these monsters.

This situation lasted until the past two months.

One of the stray cats he lived with was captured and abused by a group of children.

Burned, whipped, and stoned.

In pain and laughter, cats mutated.

[Strange Power][Rigid Body]

This ordinary garden cat broke free from the tight rope, and amidst the cry, it pawed a child, scraping off strips of skin and flesh, leaving deep blood marks.

Even clothes can't stop the sharp cat's claws, just like a piece of paper against a samurai sword.

The children ran away crying, and the cat only caught up with one of the children, the one with the most vicious tactics.

He poked one of its eyes with a branch, and it took away one of his eyeballs with its claws in return, and then made several ridiculously high jumps in full view of everyone, leaving several witnesses Only the wailing and heartbroken child was left in the viewer's field of vision. In the end, the incident even made the news.

No one has seen this cat since, or it could be that there are too many similar cats, and the relevant departments can only be forced to do so, and symbolically arrest a batch of them for euthanasia, and that’s it. This angered many animal rights activists, who protested around the shelter every day, and even the process of sheltering and euthanasia of stray dogs was interrupted.

Shiraishi Hangtou has received symbiotic feedback. This feedback is not simply based on the increase in strength, but is adjusted based on the user's physical condition.

He tried it, and it was probably enough to lift an ordinary car, a little over a ton.

For humans, it is indeed a veritable monster.

This ability also complements the rigid body. After all, the force is mutual. You have the ability to smash the concrete with one punch, and at the same time, your bones are almost broken.

The rigid body is to increase the density of skin, bones and muscles, improve physical defense, and avoid the situation of killing a thousand enemies and damaging a thousand.

With these two abilities, Shiraishi Hang started to be a little bolder.

He turned his attention to a special club that he had learned about few times in the past year.

“I’m just an ordinary housewife. I just couldn’t contact my husband at night and saw the accident on the news, so I thought of coming to the police station. I don’t understand why you have to ask me these questions. Irrelevant question, what happened to my husband? Can I see him? Please, please——"

The two policemen in charge of the inquiry The members looked at each other.

Behind the one-way see-through glass of the interrogation room, standing was Yushi Noguchi, who was on the subway in the morning. As the head of the Investigation Section 1 of the Criminal Department, this case is of extremely egregious nature, and even the Ministry of Public Security does not want to fight for it. The main control power was to establish a joint investigation department in name only, and the leadership fell directly on him.

As the wife of the perpetrator, Mrs. Sato immediately arranged for people to stay on guard and try to dig out some information. However, the logic of this wife's behavior was indeed similar to that of an ordinary housewife.

I did some housework at home for a while, then cooked, ate, and took a nap. After I woke up, I practiced dynamic dance with the TV channel for a while. I bought groceries around four or five o'clock. I started making dinner at five-thirty and finished it. Later, when I saw that my husband hadn't come back, I called to inquire. If I couldn't get through, I called my colleagues and the company.

Those people did not know that Sato Kafeng was the murderer of the subway attack that shocked the country today. They only informed his wife that police officers were collecting Sato Kafeng's information from them today.

So the anxious wife hurried to the nearest police station to inquire about the situation.

The police officer monitoring her had no choice but to report to the section chief, so she was taken to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the current inquiry began.

Yushi Noguchi picked up Mrs. Sato's special information analysis that had just been printed out and was still warm.

[Have the habit of participating in certain club activities, and the bank statement has a fixed amount of money that is regularly transferred to a fixed account, which is suspected to be a donation. 】

【I have experienced suicide and have slight difficulty in moving my left leg. Neighbors and store employees who frequented the store proved that I had symptoms until the day before yesterday, but since yesterday, June 5, I have found that there seems to be no difficulty in my left leg. , he made running movements when he came to the police station, and reported to the surveillance police officers as if they were ordinary people, and there was nothing sinister about him. 】

【I had a miscarriage, and my medical records showed that I could no longer have children. It was only after that that I participated in club activities. 】

【I went out on the morning of June 5th and was suspected of participating in club and group activities. The destination was near Kita Ayase. The specific location and related groups have not yet been clarified. 】

[Analysis point 1: Mrs. Sato was unable to give birth due to miscarriage, so she had the idea of ​​​​suicide, but she did not succeed. Instead, she suffered from leg problems. In the end, she was targeted by some kind of club and became a member. 】

[Analysis point 2: She participated in a club activity on June 5. When buying groceries that afternoon, an acquaintance employee noticed that she had inconvenience in her legs and feet. That night, Sato Kafeng did not go home for dinner. On June 6 Early that morning, an unimaginable tragedy occurred, and there must be a connection between them. 】

[Analysis point 3: The relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Sato is very deep. It is recommended not to reveal that Sato Kafeng is dead. For the sake of her husband, thoroughly understand where she went and what she participated in on June 5. The activities of the club, where the headquarters is, what strange things happened, what exchanges I had with my husband at night, how my legs and feet got better.]

[Analysis point 4: To be on the safe side, it is recommended to deploy a firepower team to be on standby at any time. 】

"Tell her that her husband is currently under serious suspicion and cannot meet with her yet. Now she needs to cooperate with the inquiry. If her husband is innocent, only by doing this can we help him get rid of the suspicion as soon as possible."

The superior's instructions came through the earphones. After listening, the male police officer said in a gentle tone: "Mrs. Sato, your husband is currently suspected of being involved in the case. I think you also hope that he can get rid of the suspicion as soon as possible, so you should cooperate with us. Please answer our questions truthfully, so that you can have a chance to help your husband."

Mrs. Sato looked pale, gently pulled the corners of her clothes with her hands, lowered her head for a while and then said: "Please. Keep asking.”
