"Leon, why are you so sure?"
Brea looked at Rowe Mall with a confused look.
"Intuition." Leon replied.
"Uh..." Brea instinctively didn't believe it.
In fact, Leon told the truth.
His intuition told him that there must be something abnormal in the shopping mall that had not yet opened.
The places where the deceased's crime occurred are all over the prosperous areas of the city, but if marked on the map, it is not difficult to find that Rowe Mall is located in the center of the deceased.
Venice police discovered this, too.
As Brea said before, the police have thoroughly investigated the mall.
In order to avoid being gossiped about by others, the mall investors also took the initiative to increase the number of security guards. If the suspect is not a fool, it is definitely impossible to hide in the mall again.
But what if the suspect is not a human being?
The police will not direct their investigation towards abnormal phenomena at all, but Lyon will.
He drank the remaining coffee in the cup, then threw it into the trash can not far away, and advised Brea:
"Brea, just leave the rest of the investigation to our Interpol."
Finished.
Leon took out the .45 caliber HK USP pistol from the quick-draw holster on his waist.
Loaded.
About insurance.
Re-holster the gun.
After completing the above process, Leon took out his special agent mobile phone and applied for support from the Venice branch, then walked towards Rowe Mall.
"etc!"
Brea quickly grabbed Leon's right wrist to stop what she considered to be some unclear and irresponsible behavior, and said slightly angrily:
"Leon, this is Venice. No matter what, it's not your Interpol's turn to take over everything, right? Or do you, the Interpol, know something inside? I'll go with you."
"..." Leon did not answer.
However, intelligence personnel are equipped with UEN-001 (silver rod of memory erasure), which is used to help witnesses immediately and erase the memory of abnormal phenomena.
Even though Leon and the intelligence officers who graduated at the same time were all interns, they still had UEN-001 and exclusive sunglasses.
Thought for a moment.
"Okay, but you have to let go of my hand first. Brea, do you still want me to buy you a cup of coffee? Haha." Leon said with a hint of teasing.
Brea let go of her hand, but she was too lazy to pay attention to Leon's teasing.
He is handsome, and he is also very friendly, but Leon always gives her the feeling of a scumbag. It is impossible for her to have feelings for Leon anyway.
"Hey, woman."
Seeing that Brea didn't pick a fight with him and walked towards the mall ignoring him, Leon couldn't help but laugh at himself.
soon.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of Luo Wei Shopping Mall.
The security guard guarding the door just glanced at their IDs and let them enter the mall to investigate.
And the security foreman personally accompanied them in the investigation.
Perhaps to save electricity bills, or to conserve electricity, there are not many working lighting equipment in the mall.
When encountering dark areas such as storage rooms, bathrooms, stairwells, etc., Leon and others also need to turn on flashlights to provide light.
There was nothing useful to find on the first floor of the huge shopping mall.
In physical stores that are under renovation or have been completed, the floor tiles are covered with dust caused by the renovation, and there are also a large number of disposable packaging bags and empty cartons.
Dirty and messy.
But this is all normal.
In some stores that have been renovated, the internal shelves are already filled with products and covered with a layer of transparent dust-proof cloth to prevent dust from contaminating the goods.
It seems that they are waiting for the day when the shopping mall opens.
No one was found on the first floor, so Leon, Brea and the security foreman continued to the second floor.
The second floor is dedicated to men’s clothing and sports brands.
The decoration here is basically completed, the floor tiles are much cleaner than those on the first floor, and there are many mannequins for displaying clothes, which are randomly placed in the aisles by the staff.
The mall is not open now, and there are only Leon and others and security guards patrolling from time to time, so I don't feel that these messy mannequins are in the way.
But when they passed by an area full of suit shops, behind them, a male mannequin suddenly moved.
There was no wind or earthquake, it was the mannequin that was moving.
At the same time, its head twisted slowly, its dull eyes fixed on Leon's back, and then...
The mouth quickly split open, exposing the tooth-like tissue inside.
Immediately afterwards, all the male models in this area seemed to be alive, and silently followed behind Leon and others.
Leon and the others who were walking in front were not aware of it yet.
"Did I say the two police officers have finished their investigation?"
The security foreman seemed to dislike the second floor, especially the motionless mannequins, so he seemed a little impatient.
"..." Leon did not answer.
"We can just check it ourselves. You don't need to follow us." Brea replied.
"Hey, okay, you two police officers are busy first, but don't touch anything, even the police will have to pay for it."
The security foreman gave instructions to the two of them before leaving, and then returned the same way, preparing to leave this somewhat creepy second floor.
?
"I remember, it didn't look like this just now. Wait...why are they still opening their mouths?"
The security foreman didn't go far before he noticed something strange about the mannequins.
"Ah————!!!" A scream came from behind Leon and Brea.
? ? ! !
The two men immediately turned around and saw the security foreman's limbs being violently torn off by the mannequins.
"Pfft!" Blood immediately sprayed on the floor.
"Crack!" There was also the sound of bones being broken.
"Help me...save me...save..."
The security guard was still calling for help from Lyon and the others, but the blood loss was too fast, and he finally closed his eyes completely and fell into a coma...
until death.
"No!" Leon drew his gun angrily and shot.
"Bang! Bang!" HK USP's gunfire suddenly spread throughout the shopping mall.
"Bang~crack~!" The mannequin penetrated by the .45acp warhead made a sound like ceramic being shattered.
Moreover, black viscous liquid was flowing from the gunshot wound.
But this was not enough to stop the mannequins' actions.
Seeing this, Leon immediately aimed at the mannequin's head and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Snapped!"
"Wow~!"
This time, the mannequin's head was smashed, and its entire body shattered into pieces, and black liquid splashed on the floor and the body of the security guard's neighbor.
As a police officer, Brea immediately took out his gun and prepared to assist Lyon in dealing with the current situation.
"This...! Leon! What is going on!"
But after she saw the tragic death of the security guard next to her and those mannequins that could only appear in ghost movies, the uncanny valley effect reached its peak.
Suddenly, all the mannequins cast their dull gazes on them.
