Urban Witcher

At that time, several roommates testified that he had been in the dormitory last night, lying on the bed and playing games. At the time of the incident, the classmates who lived in his upper bunk did not hear any abnormal movements. Based on these, the possibility of homicide can basically be ruled out. "

Xie Yuqing murmured, "Did he go out halfway?"

"There are surveillance cameras in the corridor, we checked, and he didn't go out at night." Qi Chen paused, and said: "The autopsy report said that he died of sudden cardiac arrest, but he had no history of heart disease. In addition, The deceased's muscles were atrophied, his limbs were convulsed, and his epidermis showed signs of scorching, all of which are consistent with the characteristics of death caused by high-intensity electric shocks."

Electrocuted to death...

Xie Yuqing thought about it.

Qi Chen is still narrating: "The strange thing is that after investigation, the power interface of the dormitory where the crime happened is normal, and there is a leakage protection device. Even if you want to insert your finger into the socket, you can't do it. The wires are also intact and not damaged. Moreover, There are no high-power electrical appliances in the dormitory, the only electrical equipment he can touch is the VR game console in his hand..."

Xie Yuqing was about to speak when she heard this, Qi Chen seemed to guess her thoughts, and said first: "That game console is charged, even if it is discharged instantly, no one will be killed by the electricity, besides, there is no sign of any leakage at the scene. .”

"He had no possibility of being electrocuted, but he was electrocuted to death, does that mean?" Xie Yuqing asked.

Qi Chen nodded, "This is the most paradoxical part of the whole case."

Xie Yuqing picked up the water glass, took a sip, and said, "Then what clues are there?"

"We visited his roommate and found an important situation. Since about last week, he became obsessed with a game and recommended his roommate to play it together, but the roommate couldn't find the game from the VR game store. I played it with his VR, and they all said it was too difficult and too scary—it was a horror game, so they all gave up. Wang Ziqiang played this game every day, followed by a demon, and his spirit became weaker and weaker , During the day yesterday, my roommates were afraid of his sudden death, so they dragged him out to eat, but he was out of his mind, and kept saying that he would have to pass the customs for one more night."

If there is no characteristic of death by electric shock, then this is an accident of sudden death caused by playing games together, but now... everything has become complicated.

Is it because of this that he found himself here?

Xie Yuqing was thinking about it when there were several knocks on the door, and then the door was pushed open. Xie Yuqing looked up and saw that it was Director Yang, and immediately stood up to say hello.

"Xiao Xie, have you read the case report?"

Xie Yuqing nodded, waiting for the next article.

Director Yang held a document in his hand, handed it to her, and said, "Look at this again."

Xie Yuqing took the document suspiciously, opened it and looked, it was a form with some information written in each column, she read it from the beginning:

On November 23, 2034, XDing City, XVIII Middle School discovered a bizarre death case. The deceased, Zhu Qiang, was found dead at home, wearing a VR game device. According to the investigation, Zhu Qiang was a teenager with Internet addiction. He loves online games. About two weeks before the incident, he became obsessed with an online game, and then became obsessed. At the time of the incident, he had been staying up all night for several days... What is unexplainable is that when the deceased died, his body showed signs of being electrocuted , this case is still unsolved.

Xie Yuqing took a breath, then looked down, and there were such reports. To sum it up, the cases were roughly the same. Some people played games, fell into obsession, and then died accidentally. And without exception, they were all electrocuted to death. .

There was even an extreme case where a middle school student, in order to play this game, was under strict supervision by his family. He lied to his family that he was going to a summer camp, but he went to an old country house and bought enough snacks for a few days. play games inside...

The body was discovered by neighbors who smelled the smell a few months later. They also died of electric shocks, but the strange thing is that the old house has been cut off for a long time because it has not been occupied for a long time. Later investigations revealed that during the few days when the boy was hiding in the old house and playing games, he secretly went to a classmate’s house in the same village to recharge his batteries...

In another case, the deceased was also a student. He died while playing games in the attic at home. There was no electricity, no windows, and the door was locked. His parents didn’t see him coming out at noon the next day, so they broke in and found the child's body.

After reading it, Xie Yuqing felt that the whole person was not well, and murmured: "If this is a serial case, it is really weird. In some cases, the deceased was in a room without electricity, so only outsiders broke into it." , using things to electrocute people to death, but some cases happened in a closed space, and it is impossible for outsiders to break in... How did that person be electrocuted to death?"

"That's why I transferred you from the anti-narcotics team to investigate this case." Director Yang met Xie Yuqing's surprised gaze and said, "Don't stare at me, it's not that I don't know about the cases you were in charge of in ** before. , now this case can only be handed over to you."

"Do you suspect that this is a supernatural event?"

Director Yang was silent for a while, then bowed his head and said: "I am not suitable to say this in my capacity, but I have consulted some of the detectives who handled these cases, and the replies I got were that they couldn't start. At least I can confirm that in this case, many There may be unnatural forces present."

unnatural force...

Xie Yuqing shrugged and said, "I'm an anti-narcotics agent. You can ask me to be a guest agent occasionally, but I can't do anything about this kind of case."

Director Yang said: "You don't want to decline. The higher authorities attach great importance to this case. Except for you, I can't think of anyone who can handle this case. If it can be ended here, it is a great achievement. If it can't be solved, there must be another case in the future." New kids were killed, just imagine."

Xie Yuqing was silent for a long time, and said, "I will try my best."

"I don't want to hear this."

Xie Yuqing smiled, "I will definitely solve the case, that's fine."

Only then did Director Yang cheer up, patted her on the shoulder and said, "I believe in you! I will give you the greatest authority, no matter what you want to investigate, all departments will cooperate with you!"

After Director Yang left, Xie Yuqing looked up at Qi Chen with glowing eyes, and said, "You seem very excited."

"Ahem, Captain Xie, I haven't handled such a case for many years."

Xie Yuqing sighed and said, "This case is very troublesome."

"Back then, none of the cases we handled were troublesome, and didn't they all be solved in the end!"
