Chapter 197 Observation Application
——Two hours after the incident——

Hui Yuan was sitting in the interrogation room of the police station, looking at the ceiling, bored.

Of course, not as a prisoner, but as a witness who was invited to fulfill his civic duty of cooperating with police inquiries.

But the problem is that he has been waiting here for two hours, but no police officer has come to him to start questioning. All he can hear is chaos in the corridor outside.

Hui Yuan had a reasonable suspicion that he might have been accidentally forgotten.

Of course, it’s not like he did nothing during these three hours, such as——

Hui Yuanchu once again clicked Zhe Lukui's profile picture in the E system and initiated a communication connection.

Then, just like the previous times, the message "The other party has left, may not be in the service area or is in a silent task state, please try again later" slowly scrolled, but the communication was never connected.

He changed Arthur to contact Lili again, but got the same result.

...What have these guys been doing?Hui Yuanchu thought to himself helplessly.

Zorukui had indeed informed him specifically a few days ago, saying that in order to prepare for the arrival of the supervisor, she needed to make some preparations and would disappear for a few days.

But Arthur and Rei Li, who had been idle for tens of thousands of years, also disappeared. What happened?

Hui Yuanchu suddenly felt a hurt feeling of being abandoned by his companions.

But in short, Hui Yuanchu started trying to contact the group an hour ago, but also received no reply.

After confirming the current situation again, Hui Yuan's patience was somewhat exhausted.

Just force a breakthrough and rush out?It doesn't matter if he is mistaken for an escaped criminal, because the firepower of the regional police headquarters does not look very strong...

Huiyuan began to seriously consider the feasibility.

Anyway, no matter what happens, Zhelu Kui will definitely handle it properly afterwards.he thought optimistically.

--squeak.

Finally at this moment, the door to the interrogation room finally opened.

Hui Yuanchu raised his head and looked at the person who came in. Both of them were stunned.

Huiyuan suddenly understood what the police station was doing after waiting for a long time.

The thallium hero tortured and killed the man named Yoshikawa in the street. This was definitely a vicious criminal case.Therefore, since the action of Huo Thallium Hero and Hui Yuanchu had been restricted, the police department considered that the incident would be handed over to the headquarters sooner or later, so they simply did not promote the next step, but reported it directly and started waiting.

The next two hours were probably just waiting for the Search Section [-] to arrive at the scene, handover, and then the Search Section [-] to collect clues from the scene again.

Then, Shanshan, the leader of the case, arrived late and came to question the witnesses.

But this time, it was still Hui Yuan's old acquaintance - the Nakano Police Department.

Nakano Police Department also saw Haiyuan Chu, and his expression suddenly became extremely complicated. The first thing he said was: "Why is it you again..."

Hui Yuanchu shrugged and said, "I don't want to either. Even if you invite me to eat pork chop rice, uncle, I don't want to come."

"Who will treat you to pork chop rice? I still want to eat it myself."

Since they were acquaintances, Hui Yuanchu didn't want to be too verbose. He went straight to the topic and planned to tell what he saw——

But as soon as it started, the Nakano Police Department suddenly made a gesture and said: "Stop!"

"what happened?"

"I don't want to hear it. Anyway, this matter has been handed over to you. I don't want to waste my precious hair thinking about your unreasonable things."

"...Wait a minute, when was this case handed over to us?" Hui Yuanchu asked in surprise.

"Who knows? But when I saw you appearing, I knew that sooner or later this case would become your case. When has it not been like this?"

Hui Yuanchu quickly explained: "Uncle, I think you have some misunderstandings... This time, this matter really has nothing to do with the group. It's me personally. I'm really just passing by."

The Nakano Police Department didn't believe it at all: "Don't think it's a joke, who would believe it."

"Why don't you believe it?"

"There are doubts everywhere. For example, why do you happen to be working in that place and have a relationship with the criminal suspect?"

"Working part-time is of course because of lack of money." Hui Yuanchu rolled his eyes.

"How could the people in the group be short of money? Therefore, you must have other purposes there." Nakano Police Department retorted forcefully, then raised his shoulders and raised his nostrils to the sky, "Isn't this a very simple reasoning?"

"..." Hui Yuan was speechless.

"Don't worry, I won't inquire about things that shouldn't be asked. We have cooperated many times, and this time is the same. I will try my best to find you any information you want, and you can give me a vague answer afterwards." Nakano The police department continued to babble, then reached out and waved to Hui Yuanchu.

"...What?" Hui Yuanchu looked at his hand and wondered.

"Bring me the document that transfers the ownership of the case. Once you are familiar with it, you still have to go through the formalities."

"I told you that this time has nothing to do with the group! You have to believe me!" Hui Yuanchu finally couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the table.

The Nakano Police Department was stunned, and finally came to his senses, and touched his chin: "...It's true, that Miss Ori didn't come this time either..."

After a moment of silence, he looked up at Hui Yuanchu with a strange expression: "So, you are really... passing by?"

Hui Yuanchu roughly understood his mood.

This "passing by" was too weird.

In fact, he himself felt that... it was okay to encounter all kinds of strange incidents while working for the group. That's what the job was like.

But now, even if you go out to work and work, you will also encounter this kind of development, isn't it too——

Hui Yuanchu suddenly frowned... No, this was not an accident. Alyssa introduced the place of work, but Alyssa was the information given to him by the system, so in the final analysis... it was the system that guided him to participate in this incident. of?

...However, the task has not been triggered yet.

Hui Yuanchu looked at the system interface again and confirmed that no new side mission prompts appeared on it.

The Nakano Police Department opposite also smelled something unusual because of Hui Yuanchu's sudden silence.He had some misunderstanding, patted Hui Yuanchu on the shoulder, and sighed sympathetically: "Forget it, don't mind, as a subordinate, such things are common..."

"Anyway, since we can't hand it over for the time being due to various reasons, let this side be the investigating party." The Nakano Police Department's expression became a little more serious... but the middle-aged man collapsed again after a few seconds without being handsome, revealing He looked like he had a headache, "Ah... it's so troublesome... Then, come and talk about the situation at that time."

So Hui Yuanchu told everything that happened between him and Huo Thallium after they arrived at the small garden in the middle of the street, word for word, including what Huo Thallium said to him and the story he told him.

Nakano pressed his temple again, showing a painful expression of headache: "...It's over."

"how?"

"Is this a big news like 'massacre in the street'? Those media were originally crowding around like flies. If they find out that there is such a bloody story behind it, they will instantly smell the smell of blood. What a jackal! In fact, there are already voices scolding the police for not protecting Mr. Yoshikawa... If it is reversed at this time and the murderer is actually the victim, then——"

"Will they apologize and say they insulted the wrong person?"

"——Are you kidding me? Of course I turned my head. Why did the police fail to protect innocent people after the earthquake, which ultimately led to today's tragedy? The scolding is even heavier and more fierce!"

"Haha." Hui Yuanchu laughed twice without sympathy, "It's all true anyway, what do you have to complain about."

"Is this your attitude, little brother?"

"No, I think this is the attitude of the fire thallium hero." Hui Yuanchu shrugged.

Nakano sighed.

"No, forget about being scolded." His expression became serious, "Actually, something has been conveyed from above, and this matter needs to be dealt with coldly."

"Huh? Why?"

"Maybe I'm afraid of becoming a trigger... Although it is not directly related to the matter of the sister of the fire thallium hero, the recent 'post-disaster reconstruction three years ago' is an issue that is easily reminiscent of the former parliamentarian Toshizo Noda who was imprisoned. It is a sensitive topic of Wada Village construction. If someone wants to delve into it with a special purpose, I am afraid it will involve many big names who have nothing to do with it on the surface."

After a pause, Nakano shrugged again and said, "Actually, before I knew the witness was you, I originally came here to shut you up."

"As the only witness, there are countless media out there, waiting to pry words out of you with different purposes."

"Although the police cannot prevent you from meeting the media, it is reasonable and does not exceed their authority to warn you not to speak nonsense on the grounds that the case is unknown."

Hui Yuan nodded and then laughed: "Let me declare in advance that I do not intend to cooperate with you."

"I think so." Nakano shrugged, "I won't talk about other things, but at least he is definitely a man of his word."

"Well, since I promised Huo Thallium to publicize this matter, I will do it... By the way, how did you originally plan to silence me?"

Nakano replied cheerfully: "The section chief's instructions are to find any reason to detain you for 48 hours. That's my mission. He didn't say what will happen next. But I think that the time I have earned, There will be a lot of room for maneuver.”

"I see."

"However, the section chief did not expect that an unimportant witness whose name he was not even interested in asking... was actually a member of the group." Nakano showed a gloating expression, as if he had forgotten which side he should help, " No one can detain you here."

Then he stood up, opened the door, and raised his chin: "You can leave. I will handle the subsequent procedures."

Hui Yuanchu did not stand up.

"I want to see Hero Huo Thallium." He made a request.

As he had just thought, it was definitely not an accident that Fire Thallium Hero happened in front of him.If he wanted to further explore the reason why the system involved him in this matter, then a face-to-face conversation with the person involved would definitely be the most direct way.

Nakano was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is unlikely."

"Although you are a member of the group and we cannot detain you casually, you must have a strong reason to intervene in our work."

...Oh, that’s right too.As a condition of being parasitic on this bureaucratic system, the group must still abide by certain rules during its operation.

Haiyuanchu recalled what he had learned from the last incident with Yukinoshita Saya.

...rules, rules...

Hui Yuanchu thought for a moment, but without any clues, he subconsciously pressed the wish button in the system——

Epinoia communication interface, the divination core quickly sent a link.

When Huiyuan initially clicked on the link, he found that it jumped to his Epinoia group's internal email interface.

...meaning, the solution is in these emails?Hui Yuan was a little surprised at first, but still had faith in the system and began to check the email carefully.

Hui Yuan had never cared about the group's internal emails, so the emails in his mailbox were all "unread" now.

In order of time, the three most recent letters are:
[Three hours ago (unread) - Sender: Automatic email, please do not reply:
Since the disposal commander (agent): Rei Rinno has entered the mission silent mode, the disposal team authority has been handed over to you as an agent. 】

[One day ago (unread) - Sender: Automated email, please do not reply:
Since the disposal commander (acting): Arthur has entered the mission silent mode, the authority of the disposal team has been handed over to Linno Reisato as agent.Attention, team members. 】

[Three days ago (unread) - Sender: Automated email, please do not reply:
Since the disposal commander Aoi Oro has entered the mission silent mode, the authority of the disposal team has been handed over to Arthur.Attention all team members. 】

Hui Yuanchu scanned three emails and understood the situation: this disposal team seemed to be just him, Zorukui, Arthur, and Lili.Therefore, after the first three people were unable to escape for some reason, the commander's authority to deal with the team fell to the last person, that is, him——

The cicadas screamed, and Hui Yuanchu suddenly had an idea.

"Uncle, wait for me for 10 minutes." He slammed the table and shouted, then closed his eyes and started searching frantically in the Epinoia interface.

Nakano's expression was confused, but he really didn't dare to move.
It wasn't until 10 minutes later that Hui Yuanchu opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his head and said to Nakano: "The documents you requested have been sent to your section chief's mailbox."

"Huh? What document...ah? You mean the jurisdiction transfer document?" Nakano reacted quickly, then rolled his eyes, "You also said that this matter has nothing to do with you..."

"No, it's not a 'transfer of jurisdiction', but an 'observation application'." Hui Yuanchu chuckled twice.

Hui Yuanchu has now become the commander (acting) of the disposal team.All the authority of the disposal team commander naturally revolves around the generation, disposal, and archiving of disposal instances and other related operations.

One of them is exactly what is currently available - "Event Observation Application".

When a case is suspected to be related to a disposal instance, but there is no definite evidence for the time being, the disposal team will apply to send out an "observer."

At this time, the military and police still have control over the incident, and they will continue to investigate the case in their own way.But in this process, the "observer" will have the right to share all investigation processes and information - and then based on follow-up intelligence, if the incident is really related to evil spirits, the transfer of jurisdiction will be formally initiated, and if it is not related, the observation will be terminated.

"In short, I will participate in your investigation as an observer in the case of Hero Huo Thallium." Hui Yuan put his hands under his chin and said confidently, "In this way, as an observer, meeting Hero Huo Thallium will be a matter of time." Isn’t it a problem? Of course, you can be there.”
