I have found out your real name

Chapter 106 Death of the Mermaid

Lilia led him around the strange group of guys. Li Wu noticed that the lower sides of the four walls of the hall were deforming with mechanical beauty as someone approached, as if they were being unfolded into dazzling fragments of various colors like a rapidly recovering Rubik's Cube. , eventually forming holes like door frames.

At the very beginning, the stone man plunged into a certain cavity. From the visual effect, it looked like the wall opened a deep mouth and swallowed him in one gulp.

They walked along the central axis of the hall to the opposite side. From time to time, people came in and out through the wall, adding an atmosphere like a train waiting room to this noisy hall.

Lilia knocked on the white wall in front of her and announced a three-part phrase: "Chiyo City, Case No. A025621, Discussion Room No. [-]."

Li Wu followed her into the open door ahead.

As he walked through the darkness, he had a familiar feeling: reality seemed to be scattered like running water, sealed into a corked glass bottle, shaken well, and then unfolded into a new landscape.

A strange thought passed through Li Wu's heart like lightning.

The technology used in this obviously surreal building and the barrier spell used by the Countermeasures Bureau to intercept the negative realm monsters are not actually the same in underlying principles, right?

An ordinary-looking conference room appeared in front of him. There was a long oval table in the center of the room. Miscellaneous papers and photos were scattered on the table like snowflakes. The strange smell of nicotine and incense filled the air.

A man in a suit, who looked more like a dispatched person from a business agency than a public security agency, sat cross-legged on one side of the long table. He closed his eyes and stretched out his hands, and muttered something, giving himself a bit of a badass temperament.

Sitting in the corner of the room was a sturdy and fierce man, with a carp-style tattoo on his arm peeking out from his plaid shirt.

On the heads of these two people are written "Person with the ability to empathize" and "Isokai Group Shadi Head·Mermaid" respectively.

In this scene, Li Wu believed that these two people were the next subjects of interrogation.

Apart from anything else, She Ditou is equivalent to the brother of the leader of the Yakuza organization. To Li Wu, the man in this corner is like having his status as a gangster written on his forehead.

And it probably wasn't human. It reminded him of Xingchuan's joke when he visited the aquarium before. He didn't expect that he would actually meet a mermaid this time.

But the subject of the interrogation was obviously not going to be so honest. Lilia turned around and explained: "The technician who is assisting in the investigation, and Mr. Antang here, are... relatives of the victim."

When introducing the gangster man, she hesitated.

"The team leader's daughter is my niece, of course we are related."

The man named Antang sat up from the chair that was extremely small compared to him, and extended his thick right hand to Li Wu, "Antang Gang."

He didn't ask who Li Wu was. After saying hello, he looked at Lilia.

"I want to know how long it will take for the results to come out?"

As soon as An Tanggang finished speaking, the man in a suit across the table suddenly opened his eyes, gasped and grabbed the mineral water in front of him and poured it into his throat.

"His ability belongs to the ESP (Extraordinary Perception) system. He can restore the situation of the victim within a certain distance at the time of the crime based on the data carrier that records the scene."

Lilia explained quietly.

Li Wu still remembers that the classification of superpowers in Lesson [-] is based on parapsychological terms and is divided into two fields: extrasensoryperception and psychokinesis.

The former is the special cognitive ability one has, such as synesthesia and precognition; the latter is the ability to interfere with the outside world with willpower, such as telekinesis, creating high and low temperature environments, etc.

The man in the suit wiped his mouth roughly and spat out a series of words at the speed of a machine gun: "The murderer knew our method of investigating the case and stayed outside the extreme sensing distance throughout the process. The fatal injury was not the flames on the abdomen but the mechanical Sexual asphyxiation.”

"The deceased was walking in the alley with no abnormal expression. He was suddenly lifted up by an invisible thread-like object and blocked his gills. He eventually died. He was attacked by a long-range fireball after his death."

After saying so much in one breath, he rushed through the wall as if in a race, completely ignoring the other people present.

Lilia also sat down at the conference table completely nonchalantly, sinking into the large leather office chair.

She raised her hands in a formulaic manner and said to Antang Gang, "We will continue the investigation later."

"Continue the investigation?"

Hearing this, Antang Gang grinned the corners of his mouth like a giant bear that was about to choose someone to devour, "I've heard that Jiu Ke has been hanging out with ordinary people for too long and has contracted weak bureaucratic habits."

The carp tattoo on his arm jumped as the muscles bulged, and then the skin was covered with blue-black scales.

"Isokai-gumi needs an answer as soon as possible...ugh!"

In the middle of his harsh words, Li Wu held his shoulders.

"If you have any questions, please communicate with Madam. Don't be so hasty, uncle."

There were blue veins on An Tanggang's face, and a few fish scales popped out from his neck from time to time.

He maintained a constipated expression and tried to move forward, but like a game character who had hit an air wall bug, he could only lift his legs in place, rubbing the ground in vain, and then was pressed back to its original position like a badminton in front of a bulldozer. Sitting position.

As the hands that reminded him of the pressure of deep water moved away, the mermaid suddenly stood up.

"...We will also conduct an investigation and find the murderer on our own!"

He said with his back to the two of them, and then he got out of the hole in the wall dejectedly.

"Actually, he didn't dare to do anything on the spot, otherwise Section [-] would have had reason to attack the Isokai group."

Lilia lifted her feet off the ground and turned around on the edge of the table, which was too wide for her. "But I should still express my gratitude. Thank you, Mr. Li Wu."

"You still speak so seriously."

Because there were only acquaintances left, Li Wu casually walked to the conference table and looked through the papers and photos, "Can I see it?"

"Rather, I hope you can come and take a look."

The information on the paper was full of professional terms, which he ignored for the time being. The photo was a female corpse taken from multiple angles.

His skin is dark, probably because of some visual makeup, and a stiff fishtail is exposed from the white cloth covering his lower body.

The exposed abdomen had charred scars.

Li Wu is now more or less an expert at playing with fire, and he can tell at a glance that they are traces left by high temperatures.

"So the deceased is the daughter of the leader of the Yakuza group?"

"The mermaid yakuza family based in Hanaya Town."

Lilia replied, "I think it is related to the recent surge in superpower crimes. However, further investigation is needed now. If it is found to be related to the Guiyihui, I will let you know."

"Didn't you say that the cause of death was suffocation? I don't think I saw the Yoshikawa Line?"

He remembered what the empathic person had just said, and showed off the knowledge he had learned from detective novels.

"It means that the deceased was not aware of the existence of the [rope] at all. After all, judging from the scene perceived, the murderer used an invisible linear object, and the effect may be caused by telekinesis or something like that."

Lilia speculated.

The two discussed the matter for a while, but Li Wu didn't have any constructive opinions and quickly proposed to resign.

When leaving, the detective said she was busy reporting the case, so he returned to the first floor of the Central Police Station from the elevator in the dome hall.

After leaving the police station building, he couldn't help but look back.

It is still an ordinary building that is as square as a seal, and there is just an ordinary blue sky above it, but through its elevator, you can enter a mysterious space that seems to be in another world.

Li Wu once again realized how abnormal things lurk everywhere in the daily world.
