I have found out your real name

Chapter 106 The Death of the Mermaid
Lilia led him around the group of strange-looking guys, and Li Wu noticed that the underside of the four walls of the hall deformed with mechanical beauty as someone approached, unfolding dazzling pieces of various colors like a Rubik's Cube being rapidly restored , and finally formed a hole like a door frame.

At the very beginning, the stone man plunged headlong into a certain hollow, and from the visual effect, it seemed that the wall opened a deep mouth and swallowed him in one gulp.

They came to the opposite side along the central axis of the hall, and people next to them passed through the wall from time to time, adding a train waiting room-like atmosphere to this noisy hall.

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

Li Wu followed her into the open door ahead.

When passing through the darkness, he had a feeling of déjà vu: the reality was broken up like flowing water, sealed in a corked glass bottle and shaken well, and then unfolded into a new landscape.

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

The technology used in this obviously surreal building, and the enchantment formula used by the countermeasure bureau to intercept the monsters in the negative realm, wouldn't they actually have the same underlying principles?
A conference room with an ordinary appearance appeared in front of me. There was a long oval table in the center of the room. Disorganized papers and photos were scattered on the table like snowflakes. The strange smell of nicotine and incense permeated the air.

A man in a suit, who looked more like a person sent by a commercial agency than a public security agency, sat cross-legged on one side of the long table, closed his eyes and stretched out his hands, and muttered words, adding a bit of magic to himself.

Sitting in the corner of the room was a strong and fierce man with carp-like tattoos on his arm protruding from the plaid shirt.

On the top of the heads of these two people are written [Empathy Ability Person] and [Isokami-gumi head brother Mermaid] respectively.

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

Among other things, Sheditou is equivalent to the brothers of the leader of the Jidao organization. For Li Wu, the man in this corner is equivalent to writing on his forehead that he is a gangster.

And it probably wasn't a human being, it reminded him of Xingchuan's joke when he visited the aquarium before, but he didn't expect to meet a mermaid this time.

But the subject of the interrogation obviously wouldn't be so honest, Lilia turned her head and explained: "That technician who assists in the investigation, and Mr. An Tang here, can be regarded as... relatives of the victim."

When introducing the underworld man, she hesitated for a moment.

"The group leader's daughter is my niece, of course it is a kinship relationship."

The man named An Tang sat up from a chair that looked extraordinarily small compared to him, and stretched out his bony right hand to Li Wu, "An Tanggang."

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

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

As soon as An Tanggang finished speaking, the man in the suit on the opposite side of the table suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily, grabbed the mineral water in front of him and poured it down his throat.

"His ability belongs to the ESP (Extraordinary Perception) department, and he can restore the situation of the victim within a certain distance at the time of the crime based on the data carrier that recorded the scene."

Lilia explained in a low voice.

Li Wu still remembers that Class Nine's classification of superpowers is based on parapsychological terms and is divided into two fields: extrasensory perception and psychokinesis.

The former is the special cognitive ability possessed by oneself, such as synaesthesia and precognition; the latter is the ability to interfere with the outside world by willpower, such as telekinetic power, creating high and low temperature environments, and so on.

The man in the suit wiped his mouth roughly, and spit out continuous words and sentences at the speed of a machine gun: "The murderer knows our method of investigation, and kept beyond the limit perception distance throughout the whole process. The fatal injury is not the flame burn in the abdomen but mechanical Sexual suffocation."

"The deceased was walking in the alley with no abnormal expression. He was suddenly lifted by an invisible linear object and blocked the gills of the fish, and finally died. After death, he was attacked by a long-range fireball."

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

Lilia also sat down at the conference table indifferently, sinking into the big leather office chair.

She raised her hands formulaically, and said to An Tanggang: "We will continue to investigate later."

"Continue to investigate?"

Hearing this, An Tang just grinned the corners of his mouth like a giant bear about to choose someone to eat, "I heard that Class Nine has been with ordinary people for too long, and has acquired a weak bureaucratic habit."

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

"The Isomi group needs an answer as soon as possible... Ugh!"

Halfway through the harsh words, Li Wu pressed his shoulder.

"If you have something to say, communicate well with your madam. Don't be so impatient, uncle."

An Tanggang's face was covered with blue veins, and a few fish scales burst out from his neck from time to time.

He maintained a constipated expression and tried to move forward, but like a game character who hit an air wall bug, he could only lift his legs on the spot, rubbing against the ground in vain, and then was pushed back to its original position like a badminton in front of a bulldozer where you sit.

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

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

He turned his back to the two of them, and then got out of the hole in the wall in desperation.

"Actually, he didn't dare to do anything on the spot, otherwise Class Nine would have a reason to attack the Rock Sea Group."

Lilia lifted her feet off the ground, pressed the edge of the table and turned the seat that 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 you see it?"

"It's better to say that I hope you can come and see it."

The information on the paper was full of technical terms, so he skipped it for now, and the photo was a female corpse taken from multiple angles.

His skin was dark, probably from some kind of visual makeup, and a stiff fish tail was exposed in the white cloth covering his lower body.

The exposed abdomen had scorched black scars.

Li Wu is now more or less an expert at playing with fire, and he can tell at a glance that it is the trace left by the high temperature.

"So the deceased is the daughter of the boss of the Jidao group?"

"A mermaid underworld family based in Hanayacho."

Lilia replied, "I think it has something to do with the recent surge in superpower crimes. But now we need to investigate further, and I will notify you if it is found to be related to the normalization meeting."

"Didn't you say that the cause of death was suffocation? I don't seem to have seen the Yoshikawa line?"

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

"It means that the deceased didn't realize the existence of the [rope] at all. After all, judging from the perceived situation, the murderer used an invisible linear object, and the effect may be caused by thoughts or the like."

Lilia speculated.

The two discussed this matter for a while, but Li Wu didn't have any constructive opinions, so he quickly proposed to resign first.

When leaving, Miss Detective said that he 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 glance back.

It is still an ordinary building with a square shape like a seal, and there is only an ordinary blue sky above, 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 are dormant in the everyday world.
