In the underground building in Luo Chu, the corpses of two replicators were placed on the stage.
One of them was the replicator who was shot in Crescent Harbor two days ago, and it was in the highest degree of decay; the second one was the replicator that Sangou stabbed with a Phillips screwdriver, and it failed to survive in the end.
There was another person alive, imprisoned in another glass cover, the one who was captured alive by Star City No. 2 Hospital on the previous day.
The degree of decomposition of the second corpse was slightly better than that of the first, but not much better. Judging from the facial features alone, the recognition is already very low.
Han Yiming was smoking a cigarette on the side.
Luo Chu held his chin and narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.
There were only three dogs, circling around the second corpse, looking at the corpse from time to time.
The replicator either voluntarily changes back to the original possessor, or it will only change back to its original form if it is killed.
Jiang Yue and the others can basically put this into practice.
"Second brother, this person looks familiar to me."
"oh?"
There was a rather dull atmosphere at the scene, because Sangou's words were completely broken.
"Sangou, can you take a closer look?"
"His face is too rotten, so I'm a little unsure, but his general appearance always feels familiar. The most important thing is that I must have seen his clothes somewhere before."
This replicator corpse is wearing a spring and autumn sweatshirt. The pattern on the chest is quite distinctive, it is a fierce lion.
It is normal for such a recognizable jacket to leave a memory in your mind if you take a look at it.
But where have you seen it?
Sangou racked his brains and tried to think.
"I must have seen this person when I was in town. I have no impression of seeing this person when I came to Star City." Sangou murmured.
"Think about it again."
It's been almost a week since Sangou came to Star City. If he really wasn't someone he had met in Star City, it would have been at least a few days ago if we look back.
Although he doesn't have Jiang Yue's photographic memory, Sangou has a very strong memory at his age.
"I remembered, yes! It's him!"
"Second brother, I really know this man. He is from Xingcheng and runs a paint shop in Yunxi Town. On the evening of the first day of Qingming Festival, I went to my sister-in-law's shop and bought two bottles of good wine. He said he would go back to the city the next day. Celebrate the holidays.”
"My uncle also handed him cigarettes at that time. He may have thought that the cigarettes given by his uncle were not good, so he hung them in his ears and did not smoke."
Luo Chu's eyes lit up: "Okay! Sangou is indeed a lucky general. This news is so timely."
"Old Han, there is news about the three dogs. Is it not difficult to find out their identities?"
"No problem, I'll do it."
Han Yiming quickly joined the special department and started working in a hurry without even having time to take a day off.
This unexpected news cheered everyone up.
Finally found a clue.
If you continue to follow this clue, more clues will surely surface.
"Xiao Jiang, why are you looking so sad? Are you not optimistic?" Luo Chu was surprised to see Jiang Yue's brows furrowed, as if he wasn't too excited.
"I'm thinking, why did this replicator come to my house? Is it an accident, or is it a premeditated action to specifically target my house?"
"The replicator's actions, so far, seem to be randomly selecting targets, right?"
"Not necessarily." Jiang Yue shook his head.
"Previous evidence shows that there should be only one replicator in our community, and it's him." Jiang Yue pointed to the first corpse.
"After he was eliminated, our community stopped yesterday."
"So, I speculate that this replicator should have found our community from somewhere else."
"What evidence is there?"
"Intuition." Jiang Yue has a general understanding of the habits of replicators. They usually stay in a certain place and their range of activities is not particularly large.
If it's a random crime, then that's it.
But if it was not a random crime, but a premeditated attack on his family, then Jiang Yue must carefully consider whether his identity has been exposed.
"Second brother, look at that replicator..." Sangou pointed at the imprisoned replicator.
This replicator was still disguised as Dr. Zhang. His eyes were red at the moment, and he was banging outwards from time to time in the glass cover. He looked extremely restless.
"Second brother, what's wrong with him?" Sangou was confused.
Jiang Yue turned around and asked Luo Chu, "Has it always been like this?"
Luo Chu also looked surprised: "Until last night, I haven't opened my mouth, and I look like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. Who knows what's going on right now?"
Jiang Yue stared at it for a while, then suddenly said: "He is afraid."
"Afraid? What are you afraid of?"
"Afraid of what we're doing."
Luo Chu was reminded by Jiang Yue and his mind turned around.
Rubbing his chin, a glimmer of wisdom flashed through the slender eyes behind the lenses.
"You mean, we found their flaw? Is he afraid of being exposed?"
Jiang Yue nodded.
Although several replicators have been killed one after another, these cases always give people a sense of being clueless.
It's like whack-a-mole, one hammers down in the east, and another pops up in the west. One after another, it can't be suppressed at all.
This replicator was captured alive and put into a desperate situation. He never showed any fear, but now he looked panicked. What was he worried about?
It's obviously not personal safety, but something far more important than personal safety.
what is that?
Jiang Yue guessed that it must be the group behind it, the whole group behind it!
Inferring this point, it is even more certain that the replicator is by no means an individual working alone. There must be a strict organization and close communication behind it.
Of course, now that the words are unfounded, we still have to wait for the results of Lao Han's investigation.
Faintly, Jiang Yue seemed to have touched a thread. This thread was currently invisible and insubstantial, and could not string together all the details for a while.
But Jiang Yue had an intuition that once all the clues were connected, the truth would come to light immediately.
In town, Star City!
At present, all the evidence and all the cases are limited to these two places.
When Jiang Yue was thinking, Lao Han excitedly pushed open the door and walked in, holding a piece of information in his hand, which was obviously the result of his investigation just now.
"Found this person's information."
"He is indeed from Star City, and lives in Yaoguang District."
"And, he did open a paint store in your town."
"We contacted his family and said that he had been in Star City these days and just left the house in a hurry this morning."
Jiang Yue suddenly interrupted: "Wait, his family said he just went out this morning?"
"Yes." Old Han replied.
Jiang Yue's face turned dark at that time.
When I went out this morning, the time was obviously right.
His intuition came true again.
He had previously felt that this replicator was not in their neighborhood before, but came from somewhere else.
This message from Lao Han confirmed his guess.
According to the principle of proximity when a replicator commits a crime, if this replicator is lurking in the Fluolight District, there is no reason to go to the Tianquan District where Jiang Yue's family is ten kilometers away to commit a crime.
There is no doubt that the longer the journey, the greater the risk.
So, why did this replicator travel such a long distance to find his home?
Is there any special reason here?
It's a pity that now that there is no evidence, it is obviously impossible to pry his mouth open again.
Old Han handed the information at hand to Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue glanced at it and asked, "Can you confirm that this body is this person?"
"It's basically confirmed because his family said they couldn't contact him and his phone was turned off. I've asked someone to locate his phone. Once his phone is found, we may be one step closer to the truth."
As Old Han said, the replicator closed in the glass cover kept hitting the glass with a ferocious expression, looking even crazier.
"As long as you have a rough guess about your identity, it will be much easier to verify. By extracting hair and blood and comparing it with the database, you can completely lock the identity. Here in Luo, doing this is much more efficient than the police station, right? ?”
"One hour." Luo Chu said concisely.
He walked up to the replicator with great interest: "Now is your last chance to confess. Do you really think that we will just keep you in prison politely? The reason why we haven't done anything to you now is because you still have value." , when you lose this bit of intelligence value, what do you think..."
"Ho! Bah!"
Through the glass cover, the replicator's eyes looked fierce, and a mouthful of thick phlegm was sprayed towards Luo Chu.
The poor glass cover blocked Luo Chu's gun.
"It seems that you are still worried about not seeing the coffin." Luo Chu laughed ferociously, walked to the side, unlocked a mechanism, and several red and green buttons appeared.
Snapped!
Luo Chu slapped one of the red buttons with one hand.
Sizzle!
A strong current suddenly surged in the glass cover.
The replicator immediately collapsed to the ground, its whole body twitching like chaff, like a sheep going crazy, and white foam kept overflowing from the corners of its mouth.
Luo Chu was obviously measured, and after a few seconds, he let go.
The replicator was lying on the ground, moaning softly, but the unruly and ferocious look on his face not only did not diminish, but actually increased.
