Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

He decided for once to trust his instincts that there was something wrong with the song and the female singer.

Soon, the singer's wiki homepage popped up on the computer. However, what surprised Li Ang was that there was a large blank space on the wiki interface, and there was not even a photo of the singer himself.

"Is she an Internet singer...the one who has never shown up before..."

Isn't this completely no place to start investigation?

Just when Li Ang felt a little troubled by this situation, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind, "Why, Leon, are you also interested in Rui-chan?"

Chapter 32 Strange murder case

Without even turning around, Li Ang knew that the person speaking was Oreki Yuhito.

"...I heard her song on the radio this morning, so I just cared a little bit about it."

"I originally wanted to check up on this singer, but I didn't expect that she has released so little information to the outside world... Are seniors familiar with her?"

"Don't call me senpai, just call me Hisahito," Oreki Hisahito waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm not very familiar with you, so I've only been following Rui-chan for almost two years."

Almost two years?If I remember correctly, it is recorded on the wiki... that this singer first started his activities two years ago?Isn’t this very familiar?Li Ang didn't know what to complain about.

However, if he could find such an old fan of Liu Yi, Li Ang might be able to get some clues from him.

"I'm a little curious, are all online singers like her? I mean... they don't even reveal any information about their identity. This seems a little different from the idols I know." Li Ang asked.

"Rui-chan should be considered a special case," Oreki Yuhito thought for a moment, and then said, "Leon, do you know? The world of idols is very cruel."

Perhaps because he felt that he had found a friend with similar interests, Oreki Yuhito began to talk endlessly about Li Ang, "After all, only a very small number of people can sign contracts with big companies, and the remaining idols must go through very cruel processes. It takes competition to get a chance.”

"Internet idols are the lowest level in this industry. After all, underground idols still have a place to perform, while Internet idols have nothing. Even if the songs can be spread widely through the Internet, it still requires a lot of luck."

"Being able to release his own album, Rui-chan has achieved the ultimate in being an Internet idol," Oreki Yuhito said with a hint of admiration in his tone. There are very few Internet idols who can do such a thing. "Generally speaking, Internet idols Idols should promote themselves as much as possible and then find ways to sign with big companies, but Rui-chan didn't do that, so I say she is a special case."

"But regarding Rui-chan's identity... I don't have any clues at all."

Oreki Yuhito touched his chin and fell into deep thought, "Judging from her voice, Rui-chan should be very young, about 20 years old. She may even have just gone through the period of voice change."

"Rui-chan is a native of Sagazaki City. Judging by her age, she should be a high school or university student."

"Because she is an online singer, she should not have an agent. Her social network accounts are most likely managed by herself."

"Judging from the time she releases new songs and updates every time, she can basically rule out college as an option. Only high schools have such a strict time schedule."

"In this way, the scope has been narrowed down to several high schools in the city. Although the updates of Rui-chan's updates are not very frequent, there are still many updates with approximate locations. Based on these locations, the trajectory of Rui-chan's activities can be drawn. , and then you can determine which school she attends..."

Oreki Yuhito seemed to want to continue his analysis, but as soon as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by others.

"Don't use what you learned on things like this! Idol otaku!"

Mirai Kuda, who was working nearby, had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two. When Oreki Yuhito began to speculate on Rui's identity, she couldn't help but complained loudly, "It sounds like a pervert... Please Please don't make a declaration of crime in the police station, okay? I really wanted to rush up and cuff you just now."

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I just did that subconsciously." Oreki Yuhito scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "Sorry, Leon, please don't tell anyone else what you just said."

"Well, I know, I won't tell anyone."

Li Ang nodded. He had already written down all the analysis Oreki Yuhito had just made.

After all, Oreki Yuhito is a member of the Search Section 1, so his analytical skills are guaranteed. What's more, he is one of the first batch of fans of Riuki. If nothing else, what he just analyzed may be Riuki's true identity.

Is it very likely that he is a high school student... This range is already very accurate. If Li Ang is willing, it will take at most two to three days to determine the true identity of Liu Yi.

But Li Ang was a little undecided about what to do after confirming his identity, and he only had doubts about Liu Yi.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Ang decided to put the singer's matter aside first and start checking from the radio broadcast. After all, the greeting on the radio was what Li Ang paid most attention to.

Next, Oreki Yuhito pulled Li Ang and talked a lot about Rii, and Li Ang also chatted with him again and again.

Time passed little by little, and just when Li Ang thought that today's work time was going to end, a burly middle-aged man rushed in from outside and shouted loudly, "Oreki! Kuta! Something happened." Got it!"

"Section Chief Ishii!"

The two of them stood up from their seats in a flash, which also made Li Ang understand the identity of the middle-aged man in front of him, who was the head of the Search Section [-].

After rushing into the office, Section Chief Ishii also noticed Li Ang in the office, and the expression on his face gradually softened.

He nodded to Leon and said, "Are you Leon Kennedy? I originally planned to hold a welcome ceremony for you today, but unfortunately another accident happened."

"But it won't have much impact. No matter what position you achieve in the future, it is very important to accumulate experience on the front line... Will you come with me?"

At this time, Section Chief Ishii seemed to have thought of something, and then asked, "By the way, can you shoot?"

"I have already obtained a gun permit." Li Ang replied.

"Okay, Oreki, take him to the equipment department to get a set of equipment, and then we'll set off immediately." Section Chief Ishii said without any doubt.

"Get equipment?"

Oreki was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned very ugly, "Did there appear a new victim?"

"Yes," Section Chief Ishii took a deep breath. "Not long ago, a new victim appeared, but this time the situation is different."

"This time, we might be able to catch the murderer of the serial murder case."

Li Ang cried out in his heart.

If he remembered correctly, the entire Resident Evil series began with a bizarre serial murder case that occurred in the city.

Chapter 33 Facts of the case

"...Come with me, the equipment department is over here."

Section Chief Ishii and Mirai Kuda were taking the time to sort out the things they needed to bring for the operation, while Hisuhito Oreki was responsible for taking Li Ang to the Equipment Department to get a set of equipment.

On the way to the equipment department, Li Ang asked, "The section chief has already planned to take me with him. Can you tell me what's going on now?"

Hearing this, Oreki Yuhito hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay... I didn't expect the section chief to be so decisive. It seems that our manpower is indeed somewhat insufficient..."

"Actually, it's like this. Starting about three months ago, some corpses with extremely miserable death conditions began to be discovered in Sagazaki City."

"The first deceased found was a 26-year-old young woman at the foot of the cliff of Honglizhou Waterfall. Her body had multiple fractures, a large number of bite marks, and some of her body organs had been eaten. "

"Originally we thought this was a very common accidental fall off the cliff. The cliff of Honglizhou Falls is very steep. If an inexperienced person climbs it, the possibility of slipping and falling is quite high. There are also bite marks on the body. It is thought that the smell of blood attracts nearby beasts.”

Oreki Yuhito shrugged and said, "You know, the environment here is quite well protected. There are indeed some large beasts moving around in the mountains on the outskirts."

"Let me guess, the forensic autopsy report later should have overturned the simple conclusion you came to when surveying the scene. The bite wounds on the woman were left when she was alive. She did not slip and fall. But he fell off the cliff to avoid something."

"I guess the forensic doctor should have also found some other evidence on those wounds, such as... traces of human saliva, or teeth marks."

Hearing what Li Ang said, Oreki Yuhito couldn't help but stop, turned around and looked at Li Ang in surprise, "How did you guess that?"

"It's very simple," Li Ang smiled and replied, "The 'curious murder case' mentioned by the section chief before has made it very obvious. If it is a slip and fall, there is no need to use the word homicide to describe it, and if it is a simple murder Then he threw his body off the cliff, and later the body was eaten by wild beasts, so there is no need to use the prefix "Xunqi"."

"I guessed right?"

Oreki Yuhito was silent for a while before replying, "Your reaction is indeed very fast. You are worthy of being the elite of the professional group."

"You guessed it right. Those wounds were indeed left by humans. According to our reconstruction of the incident, the poor woman was disemboweled and part of her body was eaten alive while she was still alive. I don’t know what happened after that, but the woman suddenly broke away from the murderer’s control and fell off the cliff while escaping.”

"But the murderer didn't let the woman go. He chased her after she fell off the cliff and ate the rest of her organs."

"This is just the first victim we discovered. Later we discovered ten other victims one after another. The one the section chief discovered just now is already the No. 12 victim." Oreki Yuhito Clenching his fists tightly, his voice was full of anger.

No wonder it is called a murder case. Most people cannot accept this kind of death.

Twelve people... This is already a large number. The Sagazaki City Police may have concealed some information from the public. Otherwise, if this information were made public, it would probably cause public panic.

"So what information do we have now? For example, is the murderer a man or a woman? Did he act alone or in a gang?"

"The intelligence we have... is very little..." Oreki Yuhito's voice sounded a little dry, "The murderers always choose inaccessible places to carry out their operations, or simply in the suburbs far away from the city, where there is no surveillance at all. We are here There was very little evidence found at the scene.”

"But what is certain is that two or three of the murderers are likely to be members of the Feidiya family."

"Oh? How did you come to this conclusion?" Li Ang raised his eyebrows.

Doesn't it mean that there was no surveillance at the time of the crime, and there were very few traces left at the scene. It is understandable that the murderer was confirmed to be a gang. How did they determine the race of the murderer?

"Because we found several particularly rare biological toxins on the bodies of the victims. If our experts in the forensics section are not wrong in their analysis, only a small number of Phedians can secrete this kind of toxin." Oreki Yuhito replied.

"Remember when you were a victim just now? She ran away after part of her body was eaten, and then fell off the cliff."

"When an average person is injured to that degree, it is very difficult to even maintain consciousness, let alone escape. According to expert analysis, the toxin should have a very powerful anesthetic effect, so the victim can survive even if he is seriously injured. Run away."

"I see, I have a general understanding of the situation."

The victim is eaten...the paralyzing venom...sounds like some ancient hunting practice.

What is this?A collective activity of a small group of cannibal enthusiasts?It’s been 1095 years now, who still retains this ancient habit?

However, Sagazaki City is completely isolated from the outside world, so it is not incomprehensible that some people would retain this ancient habit.

"The festival is coming soon, I hope this can all end before the festival starts... I'm so fed up..."

Oreki Yuhito murmured quietly, but his voice still fell into Li Ang's ears.

Festival... Faced with this somewhat unfamiliar word, Li Ang remained silent.

Li Ang has not forgotten that according to his identity setting, he is also a native of Sagazaki. The previous series of questions are not surprising, but if Li Ang suddenly asks what the festival is, it would be too suspicious. .

What Oreki Yuhito said just now should be the festival to worship the great god mentioned in the story. Regardless of whether this has anything to do with what Li Ang wants to investigate next, Li Ang is ready to investigate the relevant information.

Li Ang followed Oreki Yuhito all the way through the maze-like police station. After passing through several corridors, they finally came to the equipment department located in the corner of the police station.

"We're here. Please wait a moment. I'll go talk to the administrator and ask him to prepare the equipment you want."

Oreki Yuhito stopped, turned his head and said to Li Ang.

Chapter 34 Tracing

After standing aside and waiting for a while, within a few minutes, Oreki Yuhito brought Li Ang a brand new set of police equipment with Li Ang's name on it.

"Here you go, please keep this set of equipment carefully and return it to the equipment class after completing the mission."

Putting the equipment in Li Ang's hands, Oreki Yuhito said this.

"Returning...the weapons also need to be returned?"

Li Ang saw a small 'pistol' placed in the center of the equipment.

"I don't know about that," Oreki Yuhito shook his head, "The specific arrangement depends on the wishes of the section chief, but these are extraordinary times, and the section chief is likely to apply to the higher authorities to equip all of us with handguns. .”

Although the appearance is very similar to the weapons in Li Ang's memory, they are essentially two completely different things.

In the world of Terra, the name of this weapon is "Handgun". It is essentially a special-shaped staff that uses a very delicate operation method to launch etched ammunition. Except for the Sakota clan, few people Someone can play with this weapon.

As for what's going on with the guns in this world, Li Ang doesn't know.

After scanning the inside of the weapon through perception, Li Ang discovered something very interesting. The structure of this gun was very similar to the pistol that Li Ang knew, but there was an additional structure inside that Li Ang had never seen before.

From there, Li Ang could sense a faint reaction of Origin Stone, and those bullets were simply solid metal ingots. Not surprisingly, it was that structure that provided the power for the bullets.

Since the Source Stone does not exist in this world, how was this gun made?If you think about it carefully, it is indeed full of loopholes.

Under the guidance of Oreki Yuhito, Li Ang went to the locker room and changed into this equipment.

In addition to the gun, the police station also issued him an electric baton.

In addition, the quality of the combat uniform is also quite good. It is made of a special fiber and has good stab resistance. There is also a thin layer of padding inside the combat uniform and some important joints. metal plate.

Although this layer of metal plate seemed to be broken with a poke, Li Ang tried the defensive power of this thing and found that the defensive ability of this layer of metal plate was actually similar to that of a one centimeter thick metal plate. As far as police equipment is concerned, this The defensive capabilities of things are already quite good.

Since Li Ang needs to avoid using Origin Stone skills as much as possible, this set of equipment is a very good supplement.

When Li Ang came out of the locker room, Oreki Yuhito had already put on the same equipment as him and was waiting outside. Seeing that Li Ang had come out, he walked over and said, "The section chief just told me to let us go directly Assemble outside, they are ready to go, we will go directly to the crime scene.”

"Then let's go quickly." Li Ang didn't waste any time and ran downstairs with Oreki Yuhito.

As soon as they walked out of the door of the police station, they saw the van parked in the open space in front. Li Ang and Oreki Yuhito entered the van from the back door one after another. There were five people in the van including them.

"Matsuo, let's go!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Section Chief Ishii ordered, "Turn on the sirens and rush to Nakano Park as quickly as possible."

The driver of this car happened to be Taku Matsuo, who had had a relationship with Li Ang before.

As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the two vans rushed out at a speed that was not suitable for their size.

"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon," Matsuo Taku greeted Li Ang warmly, "By the way, you don't mind if I smoke a cigarette, right?"

"Don't smoke in the car!"

Before Li Ang could answer, Section Chief Ishii scolded him, and Matsuo Taku could only smile and put the cigarette case back again.
