Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 111 The Entrustment of the Leather City Security

Li Lin explained the reason for Silko, and revealed his ambition to him a little bit, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

After all, after what happened a few years ago, Silko still has a grudge against Uptown.

Seeing that the Picheng people, especially those upper-class families, were deflated and even lost control of the upper city, he naturally agreed with both hands and feet.

After discussing this matter, Shirko immediately asked people to start selecting a location for the arsenal, and began to collect the materials Li Lin needed.

After the affairs of the arsenal were properly arranged, Li Lin went back to Gilaman's house and fished with Caitlin for a few days.

After that, he continued to study the problems of aerial combat robot storm and biological armor.

Less than half of Piltover's current basic power system has been replaced, and the wired telephone has just started, and the foundation is not stable.

Therefore, he temporarily put aside the research progress of communication base stations and communication satellites.

These things need to invest a lot of time and energy, as well as human, material and financial resources.

Li Lin is going to wait for his level to increase a bit, and see if it will be unlocked in the [Essence Store].

Dining room at Gilaman's house.

Li Lin had just finished his lunch and was about to go back to his room to sleep and continue to improve his research in the afternoon.

But when he walked out of the restaurant just now, he met Caitlin who was not supposed to be at home at this time.

"Huh, Kate? Don't you have a case today?"

Li Lin took advantage of the situation and wanted to hug Caitlin into his arms for a kiss, but she deftly avoided her and gave her a glare.

"Stop making trouble, mom is still inside." Kaitlyn reminded in a low voice, "I came here specially to find you today."

"Looking for me?" Li Lin raised his eyebrows, noticing her hesitant expression, "Did you encounter any problems with your case?"

Caitlin smiled sweetly, "As expected of me, your detective thinking hasn't regressed yet."

"Compared to you, I'm still far behind. I'm not made for this job." Li Lin shook his head helplessly.

After all, after learning Caitlin for so long, [Skill Panel] also has two more skills [Basic Fighting] and [Gun Mastery].

Just as she was talking, Caitlin heard movement in the room, waved to Li Lin, turned around and left.

"Come with me, let's go to my office. This case is quite special. It was entrusted to me by Sergeant Grayson."

"The Piltover guard?"

Li Lin frowned and thought about his familiar background.

At this point in time, there seems to be no big event?
Could it be that the butterfly effect caused by his time travel caused the Ionian murderous maniac, Kada Jhin, known as the "Golden Demon", to be released by Kushuo in advance to destroy Piltover?
"This case...is it a serial murder case?"

Caitlin turned around in surprise, "Huh? You can see this?"

Really...

Li Lin's heart sank unavoidably.

Fortunately, Caitlin's follow-up explanation allowed him to rule out this idea: "It's just from the Zaun trench area... Oh, this is not a place to talk, so don't ask."

She took a few steps forward, as if she suddenly thought of something, she turned her head and said, "By the way, remember to put on your power armor."

……

……

Catelyn's detective agency on Griwell Street.

Li Lin, who had taken off his power armor, was sitting on Caitlin's office chair, frowning as he checked the case file from the Law Enforcement Department that Grayson had given her.

【HIVE accident report】

[Case number code: serial murder]

[Case Status: Unresolved]

[Investigation Specialist: Rolle, P.]

【…】

He glanced casually, and found that this case was inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Before thinking too much, Caitlin came to Li Lin with two cups of freshly brewed hot tea and put down the cups.

She put one hand on Li Lin's shoulder, and supported the desk with the other, half bent down, her smooth hair drooping, exuding a faint fragrance of violets that made him a little fascinated.

Li Lin had no choice but to push back the hair on the side of his face. Caitlin's unintentional teasing made him unable to concentrate.

"Kate, if you are like this, I won't be in the mood to read the case file."

He put his arms around Caitlin's slender waist and exerted a little force.

Accompanied by the girl's soft exclamation, she suddenly sat in Li Lin's arms.

"Stop making trouble, Li Lin~~ Serious business matters."

There was a bit of resentment in Caitlin's tone, but the expression on her face betrayed the true thoughts in her heart.

She still enjoys the intimacy with her lover regardless of each other.

However, Li Lin could distinguish the importance of the matter, and teased Caitlin for a while, then stopped, continued to hug her and continued to check the agent's report.

"The location of the incident was an oil tank factory that had an accident on the upper level of the trench."

Caitlin laid out another report on the table, "Originally this kind of very common alchemy accident would not be reported to Piltover Law Enforcement Department, but this time the incident is different."

Her pale slender fingers moved, and she clicked on several paragraphs in the middle of the report, "The person who reported the report was the factory's private security, saying that several workers in the factory suddenly disappeared.

"Sheriff Grayson sent an investigation team to the scene and found two survivors and six corpses in a cave filled with toxic suspended particles and alchemy poison.

"Three of the corpses were incomplete, and there were signs of rodent gnawing on their bodies, and they were initially determined to be plague rats that like to scavenge.

"The time of death of the two corpses was around this morning. The cause of death was an explosion in the alchemy facility. The other corpse was still warm. It didn't take long for it to die."

Caitlin paused for a moment, then pointed to another location in the report, "But that's not the point...you read this."

Li Lin picked up the report, looked at the place she just pointed, and read softly: "The cause of death includes acute degradation of skin tissue, corrosive liquefaction, and fatal crossbow bolt wound?"

The more Li Lin read the report, the more familiar he felt. It was not until the sentence "fatal crossbow arrow wound" made him realize it.

This seems to be a report about the Miasma Rat... oh no, it's the source of the plague, Twitch?

If the murderer of this serial murder is really it, he must act quickly to get rid of him.

This guy was mutated into a giant plague rat because he was contaminated with alchemical venom that was randomly discharged into the sewer.

Tucci's hatred of humans is extremely strong, and he wants to overthrow the rule of humans over the world.

Although it is just its delusion, it is basically unable to communicate normally, and it will only be a disaster if it is kept.

Li Lin put down the report and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What about the confessions of the two survivors?"

Caitlin took out another confession report and handed it to him, explaining at the same time:

"One of the survivors was partly liquefied by the alchemy venom. He has lost his jaw and can't speak. He is currently receiving treatment and fitted with an augmented prosthetic body."

"The other survivor is Valorie Orante, a sewage analyst at the factory, but she... um, how should I put it, she was overly frightened and her nerves have collapsed."

Caitlin sighed, "She actually said that the one who attacked them was a big mouse with a bow and crossbow, and even threw a glass bottle full of alchemy poison at them...

"But how can a mouse still read romance novels and label the collected finger and toe bottles with dates and moods?"

Hearing her description, Li Lin nodded secretly.

The murderer is that Tucci didn't run away.

He glanced casually at the report a few more times before tossing it on the table.

Now that I know who the target is, it is useless to look at this thing, and there is no useful information on it anyway.

But soon, another question emerged in his mind: "By the way, Kate, since the case report is so clear, why did Sergeant Grayson entrust you to solve this case?"

Caitlin looked back at Li Lin and said helplessly: "According to the investigation team's judgment, the murderer is short in stature and able to get into the sewer that normal adults can't get into, so he should be a dwarf.

"But he seemed to have sensed that the investigation team was going to his hiding place, so he fled ahead of time... It is very likely that he fled to the middle or lower layer of the trench, and the investigation team's clues were cut off."

"So... your case is to investigate the murderer who got into the sewer?"

Li Lin couldn't help laughing, and Caitlin, who was speechless, gave him a blank look.

"Hmph, otherwise why would I come to you for help?"
