Chapter 41: Cutting In

After fusing the ghost baby, he had only eaten steak once, and not at a Western restaurant, but in the villa where they were staying at the time.

At that time, he completely lost his desire for ordinary food, and he felt disgusting about anything he ate, so Liu Yanmin and Leng Yue bought a lot of food in various ways to let him try it.

As a result, after trying it all, he found that all he could eat was red fruits and vegetables, and half-cooked steaks.

Although he didn't feel sick and vomited after eating the steak, he hadn't eaten it again since because the meat was hard and tasted a little weird.

So now, after suddenly remembering this incident, he didn't know why, but inexplicably felt that there was something wrong with the steak he ate at that time.

This suspicion was without warning, Xia Qi shook his head strangely, thinking that after this incident was successfully resolved, he would be able to determine what he was eating at that time by ordering another authentic steak to eat.

At half past 10 o'clock in the morning, Xia Qi and the three of them divided into two routes according to the previous division of labor, and Chu Mengqi went to contact the major media to report the incident to the citizens in disguise.

Xia Qi and Leng Yue went to the Criminal Investigation Brigade and asked the Criminal Investigation Brigade to unite with the police stations in various districts and listen to their dispatch together.

After coming to the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Xia Qi got a few new pieces of news from here.

From last night to now, Chenghua District has received 3 more alarms, more precisely, 3 more zombie homicide cases, all of whom died without exception are the families of the corpses.

However, at present, it is still limited to two districts, Chenghua District and Xingwang District, and there is no similar thing in the other three districts of Tongliu City.

Compared with the three cases in Chenghua District, there are obviously more cases in Xingwang District, and more than 10 cases were reported yesterday alone.

These more than 10 reported cases were all found at the scene of death without exception, and judging from the degree of decomposition of the corpses at the scene, the earliest had been dead for nearly a month, and most of the later ones were four or five days ago.

After seeing these new information, Xia Qi's face did not show much surprise, because in his conjecture, there were far more people who died than the police had identified.

The entire Tongliu City was shrouded in a haze of death, although those ordinary citizens did not know about it, only that Tongliu City had not been very peaceful recently, and there had been a number of homicides, although the murderer was not found, but the suspect was basically identified.

Now when you open the local station in Tongliu City and go to various local Internet cafes to surf the Internet, there will be information about the wanted people of two people, and it is clear that these two people are the initiators of the recent series of murders.

He also called on the public to report to the police immediately once they find clues, and if they help the police solve the case, they will get a generous bonus.

If Xia Qi hadn't entered the underworld, hadn't experienced so many things, and hadn't dealt with the police so many times, he might have thought that the police were really not far from solving the case, but in fact, after his questioning, the two so-called suspects were simply two people who couldn't be found, because these two people were shot for murder four or five years ago.

The reason why this kind of fake news is released is nothing more than to appease the people, so as not to cause panic among the people.

But anyone knows in their hearts that if this incident can be calmed down, then everything is easy to say, and if it does not calm down, but it becomes more and more serious, then the situation will undoubtedly develop in a worse direction.

All the pressure is on the side of the criminal investigation team, as well as the two dispatches of Chenghua and Xingwang, who only give them a week to solve the case, although a special case team has been set up and additional people have been sent over, but a few days have passed, and they only have a few more records of the informant than before.

And these records, far from being useless in solving crimes, make them even more clueless.

It is precisely because of the current anxiety of the police that Xia Qi's contact with them will become simple and practical.

To put it bluntly, the work card is just a proof of disguised identity, and it cannot completely dominate these power departments, at most, they can only use the fake identity disguised by the work card for them, and try to get these power departments to cooperate.

But the premise of cooperation is undoubtedly that these people feel that they can really help them.

Xia Qi has never had the habit of covering up for the existence of the underworld, and he has not hidden the spirit of the existence of supernatural things, so he said that their identities are specially responsible for solving supernatural events. After that, everything becomes simpler.

Because in the eyes of these ordinary policemen, the secret services are powerful and mysterious representatives, so they will be too surprised to hear anything from their mouths.

And they are also aware of the strangeness of this case, in fact, there has been no clue is the biggest proof, so when Xia Qi revealed his fake identity and promised that as long as they cooperated, they would soon be able to solve the case, and he and Leng Yue immediately enjoyed the treatment like saviors.

Subsequently, under Xia Qi's explanation, the police in Tongliu City began to gather those who reported the crime, and began to conduct collective questioning as Xia Qi ordered.

After staring at the surveillance video for a while, Xia Qi got up and walked into another small conference room.

There were a total of 5 people sitting in the conference room, both men and women, and there was no doubt that these people were the few people he had screened out from the list of informants that Chu Mengqi had handed over to him.

These people are not like other people who report crimes, either by accidentally seeing zombies hurting people, or by having friends and relatives missing.

To put it simply, they are all family members of those who have been mutinied, and they can also be said to be relatively lucky people.

Because the mutants didn't kill them, they either fled in time, or the mutants happened to have other targets at the time, so they let them go.

After Xia Qi walked in from the outside, he subconsciously smelled the smell in the conference room, and then he frowned and introduced himself to a few people:

"My surname is Xia, and I am the person in charge of this case, but unlike those police officers outside, I believe what you said when you called the police at that time, and I also believe that one of your family members or friends has indeed become a zombie and almost killed you."

After hearing Xia Qi's words, the expressions on the faces of the five people were different, but none of them looked very good-looking, especially the two women among them, not only did their faces look very bad, but their faces were even a little purple.

"I've already said what I need to say, I still have things at home, can you let me leave now?"

One of the women, after gritting her teeth and hesitating for a moment, looked up at Xia Qi and asked. (To be continued.) )
