from night city

The internal investigation went nowhere.

Lidya Su also guessed this.

There are not only Arasaka senior executives in North Oak, but also dignitaries from other companies.

You Arasaka, a high-level executive died, and everyone gave you a favor by locking you down for three days. It’s your ability to find out things, and you can’t blame everyone if you can’t.

After all, North Oak is not Arasaka Beach. Everyone who lives in North Oak is either rich or noble, and no one is shorter than anyone else.

Secondly, Tanaka was a senior member of the R&D department. After his death, countless people in the R&D department were eyeing this position.

Rather than investigating the truth, these guys are more concerned about who will succeed Tanaka.

Although they couldn't say it directly, in their hearts they wanted to thank the assassin who killed Tanaka.

Otherwise, when Tanaka retires from this position, we still don’t know that we will have to wait until the end of the Year of the Monkey.

This can be regarded as the disadvantage of raising Gu in Arasaka.

Seeing that the investigation storm over Arasaka was gradually subsided, Su Xiao asked Mitch and Scorpion, the people they found from Adecado, to go back.

Of course, Su Xiao paid all of the five hundred euros daily salary for one person that was agreed in advance.

Although they were originally only planned to stay at Stone Ridge Mountain for two days, they ended up staying there for almost a week.

But Su Xiao kept his promise and paid the daily salary for the number of days he was supposed to, and would never deduct the salary.

In this way, not only the Adecados who received their salaries were grateful to Su Xiao, but even Panan, Mitch and Scorpion, the regular employees who had signed long-term contracts, also felt that their faces were bright.

They all feel that they are following the right person.

Lidya Su helped him solve David's trouble.

Just when he was about to take David to the trauma team hospital to see Gloria's condition, his phone suddenly rang.

It's River calling.

"Hey Sue, I need your help."

Lidya Su raised her eyebrows: "I wanted to help you from the very beginning. I thought you were going to treat me to dinner because of what happened last time."

He was joking, but River on the video call didn't laugh along with him.

So Lidya Su also put away her smile and said seriously: "What's wrong? Something happened?"

"It's not convenient for me to tell you this on the phone. Let's meet offline."

"Okay, then let's meet at "Fat Fat Chicken Wings"? "

Fatty Chicken Wings is where they last met and where they first met.

But River had a different proposal.

"No, come to the valley area. I'll send you the specific address."

"Okay, see you later."

……

In the evening, Su Xiao went to the agreed meeting place.

When he was still far away, he saw River's iconic pickup truck parked on the side of the road.

Lidya Su walked over and knocked on the car window.

River, who was sitting in the driver's seat as if thinking about something, was awakened by a sudden knocking sound.

He turned around and saw that it was Lidya Su, so he helped Lidya Su open the car door.

"Come up."

Su Xiao sat on the passenger seat, said nothing, and took a look at River first.

The latter was still wearing the same coat as before, so he was well dressed, but he obviously looked less energetic.

It was as if something had happened that made him feel tired and haggard.

River tiredly said hello to Lidya Su.

Su Xiao nodded and said: "How did you end up like this?"

Then, as if something had occurred to him, he said, "Is it because of the matter investigated by Mayor Ryan that you were put in a bad position? But I remember, aren't you going to bring that matter up?"

Lucius Lane, who fought for the independence of Night City, died some time ago.

Although the TV news said that he died at home because of the implant, in fact, someone deliberately wanted to kill him and tampered with his Mewtwo headband.

Because there are many people behind the scenes, it is far beyond the reach of River, a young police detective.

At that time, Su Xiao suggested to River not to disclose the results of their investigation to the public, otherwise it would only harm himself.

Although River felt very painful - because it went against his original intention of joining the NCPD - he finally followed Su Xiao's suggestion.

After that, the two had no contact with each other.

Therefore, Lidya Su felt very strange.

If River did let him go, as they had agreed to do, his superiors would be less likely to give him little shoes to fill.

So what's going on with River like this now?

"It has nothing to do with that matter. It's something else. Let me show you something."

With that said, River sent a video to Lidya Su.

This is WNS news.

"Hi everyone, I'm Arif Iqbal and this is WNS News."

"Today's news: NCPD inadvertently captured a dangerous kidnapper and murderer while performing a routine inspection."

"The incident occurred at the intersection of 7th Avenue and 15th Avenue. The following is video taken by police at the scene."

The screen suddenly switched to the screen of the law enforcement recorder on the NCPD police car.

From the footage recorded by the law enforcement recorder on the police car, it can be clearly seen that two NCPD officers, holding pistols, approached a car parked in front of the police car from both sides.

"Get out! Hands up!"

The person in the car may have been drunk, so he sounded a bit drunk when he spoke: "It's okay, officer, don't be nervous..."

"shut up!"

One officer nervously walked to the left window of the car, while another officer came to the right side of the car.

When he saw clearly the tragic situation inside the car, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

随后跟上面汇报道：“我们这儿有一起10-53和一起10-54，重复，一起10-53，一起10-54。”

These two are criminal content code names, the purpose is to avoid causing panic or leaking secrets.

10-53 means someone is unconscious, while 10-54 means there may be a dead body.

At this moment, the car owner opened the door and ran away.

However, he was not able to run very far. The police officer standing on the left side of the car subconsciously shot him down.

The police officer who fired the shot looked at his colleague. It was not until the downed car owner lay on the ground and stopped moving that the two police officers slowly stepped forward.

The video from the NCPD's body camera ends here, and the screen returns to WNS News Channel.

"The boy in the video is LeVar Martinez, now 17 years old. His parents reported him missing more than a month ago."

"NCPD has been searching for his whereabouts but has found nothing."

"It wasn't until an employee at the gas station called the police that a person who went to the gas station to refuel seemed to have something wrong with the car he was driving. After hearing the news, the nearby police officers arrived, and then the things in the video happened."

"Unfortunately, by the time NCPD rushed LeVar to the hospital, his life could not be saved. He went into severe septic shock and his body could not hold on."

"Forensic reports indicate that the minor was injected with large amounts of hormones, anabolic steroids and stimulants."

"At the same time, NCPD also found the belongings and genetic material of seven other missing boys in this car."

"Unfortunately, no further clues were found beyond this."

"The owner's name is Anthony Harris, but compared to this name, he has another nickname, and he prefers to be called Peter Pan."

Chapter 275 What Neverland?Dead memories are starting to attack me (3K)

Peter Pan, from the Scottish novelist and playwright James Matthew Barley, is the protagonist of the novel "Peter Pan".

He is a cute little boy with a mouth full of pearly baby teeth and a suit made of leaves and tree pulp. He does not want to grow up and will never grow up.

In the book, Peter Pan takes the runaway children to the magical "Neverland", experiences various adventure stories with them, and enjoys a free and unfettered childhood life.

Sounds like a pretty fairy tale, right?

But in the original version, the story was not so beautiful.

In other words, it is very cruel and completely dark.

fairy tale.

In the original version, Peter Pan still brought children to Neverland, but he couldn't tolerate his friends growing up.

Because this is against the rules.

Therefore, the number of children on Neverland is different every once in a while. It is not that they have returned home, but that Peter Pan has killed them in a vicious way.

What makes people even more uncomfortable is that when Peter Pan did these things in the original version, he did not realize that he was killing someone, nor did he feel that this was a cruel act that should never be done.

And this is the early setting of Peter Pan.

And the criminal who abducted the missing child actually gave himself the nickname "Peter Pan".

It's hard not to worry about the remaining missing children who have not been found.

"Although the criminal, nicknamed Peter Pan, was not killed in the shooting, he was also in a coma and has not yet awakened from the coma, so he is currently unable to be interrogated."

"For the follow-up development of the incident, please continue to pay attention to WNS news."

The video ended here. Su Xiao finished watching the video and said to River.

"So, you are troubled by this case? Hasn't the criminal who abducted the child been arrested? What else do you have to worry about? Are you afraid that he has an accomplice?"

But River's answer made Lidya Su even more confused.

"No, actually before this video, I didn't know he existed at all, and I had never been in contact with him."
