Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

The sushi restaurant is located on one of the busiest commercial streets in San Francisco. The location is superior, and the rent is naturally not cheap. However, as mentioned earlier, the sushi chef of this sushi restaurant, Jiro Ono, is one of the most famous sushi chefs in the sushi industry. Therefore, opening such a branch in San Francisco, with Jiro Ono's signboard, is not afraid of making ends meet.

In fact, this sushi restaurant has been open for three years, and it is a very famous Japanese restaurant in San Francisco, even though it is full of customers every day. The No. [-] victim, Kevin Marcus, was invited here by his boss. When eating, it was the third anniversary of this sushi restaurant.Previously, Jiro Ono, who was behind the scenes and made sushi by his apprentice, rarely showed up and made sushi for the guests once. It can be said that there were many customers in the sushi restaurant that day.

However, Kevin Marcus's bizarre madness and the bloody incidents of being shot dead by the deputy sheriff still brought a lot of negative effects to the sushi restaurant. It had to be closed for three days to rectify, which also brought visible economic losses to the sushi restaurant.

Fortunately, this is an era of information explosion. Not to mention that Kevin Marcus died three days ago, even if it happened one day ago, ordinary people may not be able to accept it. Therefore, when the sushi restaurant reopens, people like The guests of Japanese cuisine don't have any grudges to visit.

It's just that Jiro Ono left San Francisco after the accident that day and returned to Tokyo, Japan because of his old age.

Lin Ning and Andrew entered the shop, and were led to the conveyor belt sushi table by the waiter. After sitting down, Lin Ning took the brochure of the sushi shop, flipped through it leisurely, and folded his hand in front of the pullover Andrew in , said, "Ever had sushi?"

Andrew still said with a blank face: "Are you chatting with me?"

Lin Ning: "Otherwise? We can't just sit around like this before the conveyor belt sushi is served, it will look very dry, and this is one of the social rules recognized by the general public. Of course, if you don't If you are willing to talk to me about topics that most people would talk about, then you can start a new topic."

Andrew's lips moved: "Okay."

Then, they chatted about the problems he encountered while programming.This has always been Andrew's favorite thing. Sometimes he would rather write codes at home for several days than go out to bask in the sun or make friends. When he goes out to eat with his family, it is usually his parents. Talking non-stop, he's traveling in space, programming on his virtual computer.It is still quite new for Andrew to meet a like-minded real person in reality, but he is not friendly to the guests sitting around them.

They were dumbfounded.

Fortunately, the sushi was served one after another, and Lin Ning was really hungry.The pizza originally ordered at Andrew's house, because she encountered sexual abuse.avi, she just continued to investigate, and let the pizza cool down by itself, and finally had to put it in the refrigerator at Andrew's house, and waited for them to It was the same situation when they came to the NEMESIS San Francisco branch, not to mention that after they came out of the branch, they rushed to Mr. Smith's house. It was already evening and the usual meal time was over.

It's time to refuel.

As for the taste of the sushi in this sushi restaurant, Lin Ning has never eaten sushi before, but she can judge that the ingredients are fresh and there is no "baiting".

Andrew has never been very picky about food, he just couldn't figure it out.

After they left the sushi restaurant, Andrew looked at Lin Ning with a calm expression: "You seem to have come here for dinner."

Lin Ning: "You can remove 'seems'."

Andrew: "...?"

Lin Ning took him into the car and explained to him after the car drove out of the parking lot: "Now we know that Kevin Marcus was chosen by the people behind the scenes because he knew something he shouldn't know. If we kill people and silence them, then there is no such thing as bizarre death. Taking a step back, even if there are other possibilities there, there is no supernatural power in this world, and there is no such thing as the fact that we are living in the matrix now. The reason why Kevin Marcus went crazy, I think there are several situations, one is that he was hypnotized, and someone in the sushi restaurant triggered a certain point, which made him lose his mind."

Lin Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Secondly, he was drugged with psychedelic drugs, and this psychedelic drug was not within the detection range of the equipment in the morgue, or this psychedelic drug could quickly pass through the body. The metabolism quickly disappears in the victim's body, which will also make it impossible for the coroner to detect it."

"Or there are other unknown circumstances. I need to watch the surveillance video of the day-there are two surveillance cameras in the sushi restaurant, one of which is at the cashier, and the other is on the shelf in the store. I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble to the guests.” Lin Ning said noncommittally.

Andrew: "What about Michael Adams?"

Lin Ning didn't say anything quickly this time, but frowned slightly: "I always feel that something is not harmonious, and I have to sort it out. Oh, by the way, I checked that his body was placed in the In the morgue of the San Francisco Police Department, the autopsy report has not yet been submitted, so do you want to take a night tour of the morgue?"

Andrew: "...your after-dinner entertainment is really unique."

Lin Ning: "So I just invite you politely."

Andrew: "..."

It's just that I was speechless, and when the moment came, Andrew followed up fearlessly.Lin Ning thought for a while and said, "At that time, there will be a living person who can talk, which is quite a good experience."

Andrew suddenly didn’t want to go.

However, he had to finish what he had done on his knees, so he appeared outside the morgue at night.Of course there is no coroner in the morgue at this time, and they don't have a coroner on night shift, and only the security guards can walk around. No one would be happy to be here, and no one would come in at night.

The night in San Francisco is very cool, and from time to time there is a breeze that blows the fallen leaves.

Andrew bit his lip, looked at Lin Ning with a calm face and said, "What is our current behavior, using your professional terms?"

Lin Ning pushed open the door of the mortuary, motioned for Andrew to come in quickly, and said, "The security of the mortuary is too lax, so what we do is not considered an illegal intrusion."

Andrew: "Ha!"

Lin Ning smiled at him, and handed him a pair of rubber gloves, and she had already put on the rubber gloves herself, and slightly pressed the cuff buttons, and the cuff buttons that looked like crystals immediately gave out a soft click. The white light then illuminated the dark morgue.

Following the light, Andrew saw clearly the freezer and the dissecting table not far away. He put on the rubber gloves silently, as if he had lost all his energy in arguing with Lin Ning.

Lin Ning quickly found the second victim, Michael Adams' body, and pulled him out of the freezer.It was said earlier that he was shot and killed in a gang fight, so his body didn't look very pretty.

This is said as if someone's corpse would look good.

cough.

Anyway, Lin Ning was pulling the body of victim No. [-] out of the freezer, moved the shadowless lamp standing next to the dissecting table, turned off the light on her cufflinks, and let only the light of the shadowless lamp shine. come over.Only then did Andrew move over slowly, but he was still standing a few steps away, avoiding looking directly at the corpse.

Lin Ning said abruptly, "He hasn't been dissected yet."

Andrew: "So?"

Lin Ning thought about it for a while, 36 hours have passed since Michael Adams was shot to death, but his body has not yet been dissected. Adams.Furthermore, the direct cause of Michael Adams' death is related to the two major gangs in San Francisco. The San Francisco police will definitely fight with these two gangs. If the apparent balance is to be maintained, then Michael Adams' death is likely to be trivialized. up.But according to the pattern, the death pattern of Michael Adams and his friend Kevin Marcus can be attributed to the same pattern, that is, the seemingly unreasonable madness first, followed by the killing, although the former It was the encounter with the deputy sheriff, who was a gangster in scuffle.

This model can link these two seemingly unbelievable cases together. Not to mention, the two victims are still connected. They are not only friends, but also connected by the sexual abuse. by the same person, or by the same group.

Lin Ning thought about victim No. [-] again, that is, Kevin Marcus was not found to have hallucinogens in his body by the autopsy, and the sexual abuse. The sheriff shot him dead in accordance with the formal procedures. The sum of all kinds of things made the San Francisco Police Department not divergent thinking. It is normal to treat these two cases as a serial case, or maybe they didn’t treat it as a murder case—— It's not that this kind of situation has never happened, and it's even not uncommon.

Lin Ning's thoughts turned back and forth and returned to emptiness. She reached out and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse to the bottom.Originally standing by the side and using the air as a virtual keyboard, Andrew, who was writing a program, couldn't help but look over, but after he saw it clearly, he covered his mouth reflexively, looking at his face, he felt that he wished he could faint immediately.

Lin Ning: "!"

For a while, there were only the sound of Andrew's sudden heavy breathing and Lin Ning's faint breathing in the morgue.

Lin Ning said in a deep voice, "Go outside and wait for me, okay?"

Andrew didn't confront Lin Ning again this time. He came to the entrance with small steps. At this moment, he paid respect from the bottom of his heart to the police, forensic doctor and other relevant personnel whom he hadn't paid much attention to before.

And what kind of terrifying picture is it?

It turned out that apart from the gunshot wound on Michael Adams' body, there was also a piece of muscle missing from his left thigh. The missing part was as big as a palm, and the thigh bone could be vaguely seen in the deepest part.And this is still a scene under death and freezing, the blood will no longer flow out, and the muscle tissue is also gray-white, and the missing place is just like a sunken piece of ice, not bloody, even bloody. The creepy and extremely disgusting scene of stretching the veins, that is, when the victim No. [-] was still alive, his thighs would show the extremely terrifying scene.

And Lin Ning carefully observed the incision, and can conclude that it was cut away by the victim No. [-] before his death.

This can also explain why the body movements of the victim No. [-] are so uncoordinated in the video that Andrew found earlier, that is, the video of the victim No. [-] Michael Adams being chased by a ghost before his death. With his muscles removed, he was still able to run wildly, and he didn't get dizzy or even go into shock due to excessive blood loss. Thank goodness.

and many more.

This is a sticking point.

No matter who cut off victim No. [-]'s thigh muscle, he must have the knowledge of human blood vessel tissue and muscle tissue, and may also have certain medical knowledge, so that he can cut off a piece of victim No. [-]'s thigh muscle and treat Victim No. [-] received simple medical treatment and let Victim No. [-] escape.

As for the purpose?

It is nothing more than prolonging the time of abuse victim No. [-] so that he or they can get more pleasure.And if they choose to do this, they should let the victim No. [-] tell about the sexual abuse.avi, has anyone else seen it?If there were, they would definitely hunt them down to the end.

However, as Lin Ning's speculation progressed to this point, more doubts sprung up like mushrooms after rain, causing her thoughts to scatter.This is not conducive to her continuing to follow the clues, so Lin Ning took a deep breath, stopped all kinds of "threads" in his mind, and then focused on the body of victim No. [-].

Lin Ning did not conduct an autopsy on the victim No. [-]'s body. She didn't want to startle the snake, and at the same time, she didn't think it was necessary. Instead, the wound on the victim's No. [-] thigh would reveal more clues.

Thinking of this, Lin Ning took out the spherical scanner, which was only the size of an ordinary marble. Once it was released, it emitted fluorescent blue light to scan and record the body of victim No. [-] in all directions. These data will be It will be uploaded to the White Queen's database synchronously, and three-dimensional restoration can be performed at that time.

After doing all this, Lin Ning took back the spherical scanner, pushed the body of the victim No. [-] back, and moved the shadowless lamp back to the original place, that is, to remove the traces of their presence, and this brought obvious problems to the mortuary. Andrew, who was not used to it, left.

After returning to the NEMESIS San Francisco branch, Lin Ning asked the White Queen to prepare a glass of warm milk for Andrew.

The White Queen did not forget to prepare a glass for Lin Ning, and Lin Ning looked at the glass of milk as if he had seen some scourge: "I don't need it."

White Queen: "Don't be so childish, Emilia."

Lin Ning: "...It has nothing to do with being childish or not. It has a direct relationship with whether I like it or not. I hate milk."

The White Queen: "Maybe you like coffee with sedatives? Your spirit has been tense. I think you need to relax your nervous system and stop it from running at high load."

"It's not like I didn't do this before," Lin Ning muttered, and finally raised his hand in surrender, "Ordinary milk is fine."

White Queen: "If that's what you wish."

Lin Ning: "..."

When he turned around, Lin Ning became tougher, and stuffed another glass of warm milk into Andrew's hand, "Go to sleep after drinking, boy."

Andrew also took the glass of milk obediently, hesitated for a while and said, "So this is your job?"

Lin Ning: "If you specifically mean close contact with corpses from time to time this time, I can tell you responsibly, no, this is not my daily work routine. I usually don't need to be in close contact with corpses, but I will often encounter corpses." to criminal incidents." She said, looking at Andrew, who was quite depressed, and said with a smile: "If what I saw and heard today left any psychological shadow on you, then I can tell you about this paragraph. The memory is downloaded, I mean the kind that is cut and not pasted back.”

Andrew rolled his eyes a little: "I thought it would be an amnestic."

Lin Ning laughed twice, "Good night, Andrew."

Lin Ning did understand what Andrew was talking about about amnestics. It was from "Men in Black", where the black-clothed police detectives in charge of dealing with alien affairs had an amnestic stick that could erase those who saw aliens. human memory.However, when Lin Ning and Andrew mentioned memory downloading, they were not joking. In the last world, the clones of the umbrella company were rampant. After being cloned, the clones of Dr. Part of the memory, there are tools for recording memory, and there is a corresponding technology for downloading memory, and this kind of technology sounds a lot like the black technology of science fiction movies, no wonder Andrew cheered up and came back.

·

After Andrew went to rest in the guest room of the villa above, Lin Ning continued to stay in the underground base, and the White Queen was projected beside her, not only for a short time as before when Andrew was there, but as before when there were only the two of them. Lin Ning's side.

White Queen: "You need to rest, Emilia."

"I don't think I can sleep, my head is about to explode." Lin Ning said sitting cross-legged in front of the clue wall, "This case may be far more complicated than I thought. At first I thought it was Jane White's family, After learning the truth about her death and deciding to take justice for herself; then I thought the suspects who killed Jane White murdered Kevin Marcus and Michael Adams to keep the secret from leaking out - well, this one The definitions are still the same, but the possible suspects involved are beyond my imagination."

"In the case of Michael Adams, who had a thigh cut off before his death, and 36 hours after his death, his body still hadn't been autopsied, and the anomaly hadn't been reported, I don't think This is normal, especially as the deputy coroner who performed the autopsy on Kevin Marcus."

Considering that the deputy coroner has medical training and understands human muscle tissue and vascular tissue, Lin Ning pursed her lips and put forward another conjecture about the cause of Kevin Marcus' death: "Maybe Kevin Marcus It's not that he wasn't given psychedelic drugs, nor was it a new type of psychedelic drug, so that he couldn't be detected, but that he was indeed drugged with psychedelic drugs that could be detected, but the deputy coroner did not truthfully write him down. In the autopsy report, or he did not perform an autopsy. And considering that Kevin Marcus' body has been sent to the funeral home for cremation, we can't verify this at the moment."

"And considering that the deputy coroner is affiliated with the San Francisco Police Department, I have to wonder whether the deputy sheriff who appeared at the sushi restaurant was a coincidence or intentional? After all, there were three people including the photographer in the Sexual Massacre .avi. "

As a police officer who represents justice and the law, it is not uncommon for people to kill people. For example, BAU met a deputy sheriff before. He has an "angel of death" complex, that is, he wants the victims to be in danger and then rescues them.In this case it was the deputy sheriff who shot the victims so that he would be the first to arrive at the scene of the accident and thus the first to save the victims.If he doesn't, he makes it look like he kills people randomly, which is also called a hero murder plot.

However, this example is different from today's case. The deputy sheriff in the example did not think that he was killing people, but saving people. The nature of killing and silence has become even worse.

But then Lin Ning's speculation was overturned by the information she found.

It turned out that before and after Jane White and her two girlfriends disappeared while traveling in Central Europe, neither the deputy sheriff who shot and killed Kevin Marcus at the sushi restaurant nor the deputy coroner who was in charge of the autopsy had no record of leaving the country. In the near future, there have been no suspicious and large sums of money in the deputy coroner's bank account, which also ruled out the possibility of the deputy coroner being bribed.

It was as if Lin Ning had just had two suspects, and they were ruled out in an instant.

Lin Ning was not discouraged by this, except that she was using the timeline before and after Jane White's disappearance instead of the timeline in which she was actually sexually tortured to death, and the "threads" she currently has "Not just this one. "I previously speculated that Kevin Marcus used his computer repairman to see the .avi from the customer's computer, so I think the computer repair shop will have a record of the customer. My dear, check it first Check this out."

"There is no electronic record," the White Queen said later.

Lin Ning: "?"

The White Queen added: "Signs of artificial destruction have been found."

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows, and saw his boss along the photo of Kevin Marcus on the wall of clues. Lin Ning raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where's the boss of the repair shop?"

The White Queen: "He and his family left the country the day after Kevin Marcus's accident and are checking their entry records in other regions."

The White Queen's voice sounded again after a while: "I found out, they went to Switzerland with a tourist visa."

Lin Ning: "!"

Is it a coincidence that Jane White and her girlfriends included Switzerland in their trip to Central Europe?No, if the computer of the participant who sexually killed .avi ended up in this computer repair shop, even if the boss didn’t see this .avi, then after his clerk and his friend who usually had PY transactions with his clerk died strangely , wouldn't there be doubts?Lin Ning doesn't think that the people behind the scenes are the type who would rather let a thousand people go than kill one by mistake.

But what does it have to do with CEIBS?

On the map, Lin Ning circled Central Europe (the full name of Central Europe is Central Europe, which is one of the five geographical divisions of European countries, including Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland) with a red circle, and described more over again.

The mystery continued to expand, but Lin Ning felt that it wasn't that there was a lot of fog, but that if she worked harder, she could grasp the main line and clear the clouds.This feeling lifted Lin Ning's spirits, she sat up straight, and said to the White Queen: "Restore the record that the computer repair shop was artificially destroyed, and I want to save the owner of this sexually tortured and killed .avi computer. I wouldn't be careless enough to take my computer to a computer repair shop, so honey, after you fix your customer records, make a list of the week before Kevin Marcus's accident, and note that because of accidents such as accidentally leaving Water was spilled on the keyboard, or it was repaired by their boss or family members, that is, they didn't know the password of the computer."

White Queen: "No problem."

Lin Ning performed a three-dimensional restoration of the data scanned by the spherical scanner in the mortuary, and Michael Adams' corpse appeared next to him "like death", and then Lin Ning activated another The program that analyzes the wound to determine the murder weapon has it analyze what caused the scar on Michael Adams' thigh.

After the program was activated, it took some time for the results to come out. Lin Ning took advantage of this time to hack into the hidden camera of the sushi restaurant and retrieve the surveillance video of the day.This process is relatively fast. Lin Ning connected the surveillance video to the virtual screen and watched it at eight times fast-forward. It also captured the process of Ono Jiro holding the sushi, cutting the sushi and arranging the plate. It can be seen that Ono As a leader in the sushi chef industry, Jiro is very smooth in the process of making sushi.

Soon the surveillance video came to the time when Kevin Marcus came to the sushi restaurant with his boss and family, but Lin Ning did not continue to play it, but turned back the time for more than ten seconds and found an acquaintance.

No, it should be said that she knew the identity of the person, that is, Andrew's principal, the grandfather with his grandson who appeared in another surveillance video.

Lin Ning pressed the pause button and started investigating the old principal.Previously, Lin Ning only regarded him as a witness and did not conduct a detailed investigation. Now it seems that the old principal may not be innocent.Soon the old principal's file was retrieved by Lin Ning. Lin Ning's eyes stayed on the column of the home address, and then on the 91st Street where the second victim, Michael Adams, was shot to death, on the map of San Francisco. marked at the same time.

Lin Ning twitched the corner of his mouth, how did the old principal take his grandson to spread out three blocks away?Even the straight-line distance between the two is twelve kilometers.

At this time, the program for judging the murder weapon through the incision responded. Lin Ning looked at the list of the most likely murder weapons it listed, and the sushi knife ranked first, with a matching rate of 95.9%.Lin Ning looked back at the video tape of the sushi restaurant, checked the custom-made sushi knife used by Jiro Ono, and entered the data into the system, and then the matching rate became 99.9%.

"This is the meaning of 'the murder weapon is it'." Lin Ning said and nailed Ono Jiro and his sushi knife to the clue wall, and moved the old principal from the witness column to the accomplice.

This also explains another suspicion, that is, the second victim, Michael Adams, seemed to be chasing after a scourge, but behind him were only the old principal with his grandson and the deputy sheriff driving a police car. It is the old principal with his grandson and the deputy sheriff who is driving a police car.

It's just that Lin Ning couldn't find a point that could connect the old principal, the deputy sheriff, the deputy coroner, and Ono Jiro together. At this time, it was the turn of the White Queen, who is omnipotent in the online world, to appear.

The White Queen not only restored the customer records of the computer repair point that had been artificially destroyed, but also found out a suspect who was most likely to be related to the case, a photographer Gary Craig - it was his who sent the computer to be repaired. Wife, the reason was that she accidentally spilled water on the keyboard and the computer crashed, and she didn't know the power-on password of her husband's work computer. What's more, the photographer Mr. Around the time White and her girlfriend disappeared, they went abroad to Central Europe!

Central Europe, Central Europe again.

Lin Ning pressed his chin, and silently said the word Zhongou several times, his eyes skipped over the clue wall, and a thought gradually became clear: "I want to know whether these people have been to Zhongou at any time in the past, which one?" Any country can."

The answer is yes.

And they all went to the same country.

·

When Andrew came down the next day, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he was dazzled by the photos and papers with various words on the floor.

Andrew: "??"

He just went to sleep.

"Amelia?"

The White Queen projected: "You should keep quiet, Emilia just fell asleep an hour ago."

Andrew subconsciously snapped back: "I think you should be thankful that I don't have the habit of being surprised, otherwise you and Emilia can enjoy my screams at this time."

The White Queen's tone remained unchanged: "I can silence your voice the moment you scream."

As soon as Andrew opened his mouth, Lin Ning got up from the only sofa in the huge hall, and said vaguely: "Andrew, believe me, you don't want to know how you will be silenced."

Andrew: "..."

Lin Ning lost his sleepiness, scratched his hair, and the White Queen, who seemed to be on edge, and Andrew said, "Good morning."

White Queen: "Good morning, Emilia. Do you want to watch the morning news as before?"

Lin Ning nodded, but after browsing the morning news for a while, her expression became serious, "Help me connect to my dad's phone."
