The first floor of the North Headquarters of the Barton Police Department. The noise here is different from usual. The detectives are all looking languid, lying on their desks. Coulson’s head is floating on the water, jog up and down, he is too sleepy! His bright forehead occasionally hits the tabletop, and he will wake up at this time. The pen in his hand quickly fills in a few words in the form in front of him, and then his eyelids are closed again and continue to float up and down like water.

“Wake up! Coulson! Detective Coulson!”

Coulson felt that his inhuman shoulder was pushed by someone. A shivered sat up and shouted: “The report will be written immediately Ok! Write it right away!”

But when he looked towards the form in front of him, he saw that he was half-dreaming and half-awake in his graffiti, which was far from the text report of the surveillance mission last night!

“hmph!” The report in front of Coulson was picked up: “Are you going to hand this stuff up! My three-year-old daughter is more talented in painting than you!”

Coulson pushed aside the seat, stood still, and the sleepiness had disappeared thoroughly. The person in front of him was the Chief of Police Barton, and Coulson was just a detective from the North District homicide group. This was his superiors superiors superior -Director of Cologne.

“The Chief of Cologne! I’ll rewrite it right away!” The arrival of this great character is more effective than ten cups of coffee!

“No need.” Director Cologne crumpled the graffiti and threw it away, waving his hand, “I asked your partner, what happened yesterday.” Cologne glanced at the table opposite Cologne. James, nodded.

James was putting a donut into his mouth at this time, Cologne browsed slightly wrinkle, he didn’t understand why the only son of General Lance was different from the rumors. It is said that he is a calm young man who has honed his’steel’ will in the army, but what Cologne now sees is just a Second Generation Officials who is gluttonous but lacks ethics.

“Attention everyone!” Cologne ignored James for the time being, raised the volume, and awakened the dizzy detectives. When everyone saw this great character, they immediately became energetic. , Stood up one after another.

“Everyone worked very hard for three consecutive days all night. I already know that no suspicious incidents have happened. Now everyone, go back and have a good rest, and the written work can be done later! Thats it, its gone. Come on!”

The exhausted detectives are all sighed in relief, pack up their things, and get ready to rest. Of course, when the sun goes down, they will appear on street corners, in cars, and around bars, monitoring Barton City at night.

“Coulson, James, you come with me.” Cologne turned and walked to the homicide group leader’s office on the first floor.

The group leader is not there, only a young man with a gray hat is sitting in the middle, looking a little restrained.

Detective Coulson habitually observes the thin man, and begins to build a profile: lack of exercise in muscles, pale skin, slightly wider lower body, loose buttocks muscles. He is a person who has been sitting in the office for a long time. .

“This is Detective Coulson and Detective James (Lance).” Cologne began to introduce: “This is an employee of the North District Communications Bureau of Barton Telecom, Mr. Fitz.”

The man named Fitz stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the two nervously, “Just call me Fitz.”

Coulson has guessed about it this week. , There is a communication problem in Barton North. Occasionally, the telephone between the government and the citizens may not be able to get through. Just yesterday, the two senators visited. The smooth communication between Barton City and the outside world is very important, and the problem of poor communication has become an important issue.

This was originally outside the scope of the Barton Police Department. Coulson wondered why this man named Fitz came to the murder group.

Cologne nodded to Fitz, “You take the two detectives to the scene.” Then he turned to Coulson and said seriously: “Remember, we don’t want what you see next Rumor! If the Barton Daily gets a little noise! I will take your police badge!”

Coulson startled and salutes immediately: “Yes! Chief!”

At that time, Cologne’s gaze was aimed at James, frowned, but did not speak.

The three people got out of the police station and got into Fitz’s car. This is an old van with the’Barton Communication’ logo printed on the door. It seems that the vehicle eliminated by the city government was bought by this Fitz.

“Detectives, have you had breakfast? I know a great burger restaurant.” Fitz’s voice was a little nervous, and his hands holding the steering wheel were shaking. He was looking for a topic Relax yourself.

“Don’t be nervous, you are safe.” Coulson saw too many such people, and he could guess that this nobody had clearly seen something that shouldn’t be seen. In fear, he came to the police station for help, but what he saw would have a bad effect, so the Chief of Cologne issued a confidential order for this mission.

“We still don’t know where we are going?” Coulson tried to put down his tone as much as possible, “Fitz, you may be able to tell us about our destination first.”

“Well. Well, we are going to my friend’s house, his name is David. Uh, to be precise, yes, to the basement of his house…”

This guy’s hands were shaking more and more, and his expression became scared.

“I, uh, I found something, it looks a lot like David, but I’m not sure…”

Coulson frowned, honestly Said that he didn’t understand what Fitz was trying to express. One hand put Fitz’s trembling hand holding the steering wheel to help him stabilize the direction of the van, and he asked: “David, this friend of yours David, is he in the basement of his house?”

“No…this is where I am not sure…” Fitz has confusion and fear on his face, “David is now working ……”

“What does David do?”

“Like me, we work in the Barton Telecom Bureau. We are colleagues and friends……”

Coulson thought for a while and asked: “The thing you saw, the thing in David’s basement, is it alive?”

Fitz shook his head: “No , Sir. Thats the thing Ive seen, dead to death…”

“Fitz. Where is the burger shop you mentioned?” James sitting in the back seat suddenly said Question: “I’m hungry, I need food.”

Coulson turned his head in irritation and looked towards James, but he looked towards James with no emotion in his eyes.

“Freak.” Coulson murmured and stopped talking.

This is not the first time Coulson said this. When he first discovered this guy’s amazing appetite, he expressed such feelings. But at the time, this was just a veteran’s ridicule of the rookie, and then over time, it has been almost a week since becoming a partner with James, such ridicule became a mantra.

James got a Hegemon as he pleased. Coulson didnt care about the partner. Gradually, he also figured out the temper of this Second Generation Officials. As long as he was given food, he would not Get in the way. So when the van parked in front of Fitz’s friend David’s house, Coulson ordered James to stay behind while still dealing with Hamburg.

“During this time, many citizens reported problems with telephone lines.” Fitz took Coulson, found the key on the eaves of the door, and entered David’s house. “So I often turn around in the city. , Check the wiring and other issues. David is not good at these tasks, so he stayed in the control room.”

The two walked through the living room. This is a very ordinary two-story residential building. Living room, kitchen, bedroom on the second floor. The furnishings and decorations are also normal.

The basement door is under the stairs on the second floor. Fitz opened the door and came out with a hint of coldness.

“Davids house was inherited from his parents, so he has a big basement!” Fitz led the way and went down: “Every Wednesday night, we will come here with friends.’ Dragon and Underground City’Game…”

“What game?” Coulson asked subconsciously.

“Uh, a role-playing game… In short, when we came yesterday, we found that David was not at home.” Fitz turned on the light in the basement, and as he said, this basement is very Big. Unlike the ordinary persons basement storage, this basement is filled with foam swords and capes and hats of various colors…

Coulson roughly imagined that game. Two more characters were added to the profile of the character-nerd (dead house).

“David is always the’Master of Underground City’. Without him, we cannot play the game.” Fitz walked in one direction and continued: “So we waited for a while, but He never showed up. After his friends gave up, they left.”

Coulson observes all around, he also has character costumes, but the type is not magician, elves, but doctors, nurses, etc. Judges, prisoners, etc… you know?

“David has never missed Wednesday’s game night, so I am a little worried.” Fitz has walked towards a horizontal wooden box. He opened the lock and flipped the lid of the wooden box. Revealing the white freezer inside, “So I stayed a little longer. Then I found this.”

Fitz opened the freezer door.

Detective Coulson approached and took a look.

No wonder the Secretary of Cologne does not want this to be made public. Because so far, all the 12 missing victims are x women. And now, lying in this freezer is a Barton City, a harmless citizen with a proper job.

“Why do you think this is your friend David?” Coulson frowns, the head of the corpse, and most of the Avatar have disappeared. Because of the freezing, the forensic doctor could not confirm the time of death.

Fitz trembling extend the hand points, pointing to a certain place: “Tattoo, David likes to be the’Master of Underground City’, so he tattooed’DM’ on his body…”

Coulson looked at the two letters, sighed, and patted Fitz on the shoulder: “I’m sorry.” Although Fitz had always used the “like” before, but with such tattoos as testimony, this person has already It can be confirmed that it is his friend David.

Coulson closed the freezer and took Fitz with his red eyes to the side: “Now, tell me about the’David’ who is still working.”
