Chapter 1376 Investigation Team (Scroll from top to bottom)

After becoming a detective, Duanmuhuai also handled some cases, but this commission was quite unexpected by Duanmuhuai. Unlike other cases that only require one or two people to solve, this case not only involved three detectives from the Detective Association, but also three police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department to jointly handle the case.

I have to say that this posture is not easy to mess with.

As for the reason, Duanmuhuai had already heard from Yuko Shionji on the way here. To put it simply, March City, where area B is located, was found to have a large number of missing cases. The number was higher than the average, which triggered the police. Attention from the viewing room.

Of course, in a large and medium-sized city, there are a lot of missing people every year, and missing cases are different from serious cases such as homicide. To be honest, if they are not found at the time, they will basically be listed as unsolved cases later. After all, the police force is limited. Instead of wasting energy on a disappearance case with few clues, it would be more cost-effective to solve a theft case. So in this world, generally speaking, detectives are responsible for most disappearance cases - after all, detectives are just idle.

It's just that there will be a horizontal line in any city. If the number does not exceed this horizontal line, it is considered a normal range, and if it exceeds it, it is abnormal. This is also the reason why this matter was exposed - the mother of a missing person wanted to find her child, but the police found nothing, and there were no clues when looking for detectives. The mother may have missed her child too much and had a problem. She suffered from paranoia and believed that the police and detectives were trying to deal with her, so she approached reporters to expose her.

As a result, when the reporter investigated, he found out - good guy, the cumulative number of missing cases in March City in a year has actually caught up with big cities like Tokyo!

Is this a big deal?

Don’t reporters just want big news? So I sent it out decisively.

After all, the police and detectives didn’t do anything, and conspiracy theories were involved, so it was all set to become popular!

In fact, this news really went viral, so it was the turn of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Detective Association to be worried.

After all, this report not only talked about the situation in March City, but also speculated that there was a huge human trafficking network within March City, and the missing people were all captured and sold. The reason why the police did not act was because the local police were connected with this human trafficking network and provided them with shelter!

What the reporter did was a big news, but now the Metropolitan Police couldn't sit still and decisively sent people to investigate the matter.

Originally, this was supposed to be an internal matter of the Metropolitan Police Department and had nothing to do with the Detective Association. However, after learning about the incident, the Detective Association investigated - Oh boy, many detectives in March City have disappeared!

I'm here to watch the fun, not to be the fun myself!

Since the matter involved detectives, it was natural that the Metropolitan Police Department could no longer handle it. So in the end, the two parties came together to form a joint investigation team and took the Shinkansen to March City to thoroughly investigate the matter.

The Metropolitan Police Department sent an old policeman in his fifties with two young men. The same goes for the Detective Association. In addition to Duanmu Huai, there are two other detectives. One of them is a female high school student known as the idol detective. The other one is a fat uncle who is called a food detective.

As for Duanmu Huai...well, I understand everything.

The two parties exchanged information on the road, and then came to March City.

This is a medium-sized city, not too big, not too small. It is surrounded by mountains, but it seems quite secluded.

After identifying themselves, the group came to the March City Police Station and met the police chief.

"Ah, welcome to March City."

Facing the people in front of him, the police chief of March City seemed very enthusiastic. He stood up from behind his desk with a smile and greeted everyone enthusiastically.

"I didn't expect that everyone would actually come to such a remote place. It's really beyond my expectation."

"No more gossip, Director."

As a representative of the Metropolitan Police Department, the old policeman was the first to speak. He took a step forward and took out the document.

"We are here on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Detectives Association to conduct a joint investigation. We also hope that you can cooperate with us."

"Of course, of course we will cooperate."

Facing what the old policeman said, the chief seemed very enthusiastic and seemed to know everything he wanted to say.

"Very well, then we want to meet with the investigative reporter, no problem."

"this………"

Facing the old policeman's request, the chief seemed a little embarrassed.

"I'm afraid this won't work..."

"Why?"

"Because a few days ago, the investigative reporter fell off a cliff while driving drunk and died."

"Why?"

Everyone was surprised when they heard the director's answer.

"Dead? Where is the body?"

"The body has been cremated..."

"So fast?"

The old policeman stared at the chief, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"This man was cremated just a few days after his death. Isn't it too illogical?"

"This is also the request of his relatives. After all, because he fell off the cliff, his whole body has become **** and bloody, and he is unrecognizable... Therefore, we can only be cremated as soon as possible..."

"......So, we want to meet the mother of the missing person, can we arrange it?"

"This is not a problem, but I must remind everyone in advance that perhaps because she is too anxious to find her child, she is currently emotionally unstable and is receiving treatment at Aomori Mental Hospital..."

"…………"

Although the director behaved very respectfully, everyone's expressions had become much gloomier at this moment. After all, those who can join the joint investigation team are not fools. Of course they understand what the police chief is doing.

He is demonstrating to himself! The investigation team hasn't arrived yet. One of the two people who exposed the city's shady story is dead and the other is crazy. They say it's a coincidence. You won't even believe it!

Good guy, this city is really lawless!

"Then we can investigate here."

"Of course, I have already given instructions to my men. Please feel free to investigate. If you need our assistance, just ask!"

After hearing the chief's answer, the old policeman didn't say much, just nodded silently, and then turned around and left with everyone. When they walked out of the police station door again, the old policeman was already livid - the other party's obviously naked and barely concealed attitude was simply a threat!

But no matter what, the investigation must continue.

"Now it seems that it is difficult for us to get help from the police station."

After finding a seat at a nearby family restaurant, the old policeman spoke.

"At present, we can only conduct our own investigation... What are your plans?"

"Um………"

Facing the old policeman's questioning, the gourmet detective touched his mustache.

"I plan to go find some familiar detectives in this city to get information and see what's going on."

"I'm going to a mental hospital."

Duanmuhuai also gave his decision. After all, in the world of Cthulhu, a place like a mental hospital is a treasure trove. Regardless of good or bad, something will definitely come out.

"I went to the streets to inquire about the disappearance. The information is not complete yet. Maybe I can get more clues from the students."

The idol detective girl also gave an answer.

"I see."

After hearing the three people's answers, the old policeman nodded.

"We will go back to the police station and ask them to sort out the missing files again. I don't believe it. Nothing can be found!"

The people here are all professionals. After making the decision, everyone immediately dispersed and went about their own business. Duanmu Huai also drove to the mental hospital in the suburbs of March City, intending to meet the man who was imprisoned here. woman.

Shionji Yuko also gave the information she collected in a timely manner.

"Yamada Miko, 43 years old, housewife, was admitted to Aomori Mental Hospital three days ago because she had violent tendencies and attacked others without any reason... Well, the procedures were very normal and went through very smoothly without any problems."

"The biggest problem is that there is no problem. Otherwise, why would you be so eager to put others in a mental hospital?"

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly when he heard Ziyuanji Youzi's introduction from his cell phone.

"I want to see what tricks the light of the universe is up to this time!"

While he was talking, the door of Aomori Mental Hospital was already in front of him. Duanmuhuai parked the car aside, then opened the door and got out of the car, walking towards the mental hospital - but he only took a few steps when he saw Sansi. A well-trained man rushed over with an explosion-proof fork and stood in front of Duanmu Huai.

"Stop, who are you? What are you doing here?"

The leading security guard held an explosion-proof fork, widened his eyes, and tried to show a fierce look to Duanmu Huai, but unfortunately, in Duanmu Huai's eyes, the explosion-proof fork they held was actually no different from plastic and torn paper. Before, it was not easy for Duanmuhuai to enter a place like this, but the situation is different now.

"I'm a detective!"

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai took out his detective license.

"This time I came to the mental hospital for investigation. Please be honest!"

"Detective, detective?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the security guards were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. Soon, one of the security guards turned around and left. After a while, the security guard came over with a doctor in a white coat.

"Are you a detective?"

Looking at Duanmuhuai in front of him, the doctor wearing glasses immediately took out a flannel and wiped his glasses, then stared at the license in Duanmuhuai's hand again, and looked back and forth between the photo on it and himself.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see Ms. Miko Yamada. Because she is currently being held here, I request to meet with her to discuss in detail."

"Miko Yamada, ah...that lady."

After hearing Duanmuhuai's request, the doctor thought for a moment, then nodded as if he suddenly understood.

"I understand. Our hospital also has the obligation to assist in the investigation, but... I think you may not be able to ask anything from her."

"What's the meaning?"

Duanmuhuai's face darkened and he stared at the doctor in front of him, who just smiled.

"You only have to see her with your own eyes to know.
