"Is this so? Thank you, Xia Yin, and Yuetong. I didn't expect you to be able to bring me such good news."

Ai Li put down her phone with a smile, and then looked at the computer screen in front of her. She did not expect that it would be such a coincidence that she had just made a taunt on TV, and the other party actually took the bait... And according to Xia Yin's report, this

A group of people were stupid enough to blow themselves up on the street?

Hmm...could it be a trap? Or is my IQ too low?

All in all, let’s take a look at the monitoring first... Oh, I found it.

Ai Li reached out and typed a few times on the keyboard, and soon saw the surveillance video emerging on the screen. She watched the three teenagers gathered in front of the TV in the shopping street to watch her speech, and then one of the three

The golden retriever delinquent jumped to his feet and blew himself up...

"Well... let's first investigate the personal information of the three people."

Ai Li stared at the surveillance in front of her, and then typed on the keyboard again. Soon, as the scanning was completed, the personal information of three people appeared in front of Ai Li.

"First of all...oh, I remember seeing her."

Looking at the photo of the girl with twin tails in uniform in front of her, Ellie narrowed her eyes. If she remembered correctly, it seemed that when Kamoshida harassed Suzui before, he was right next to Suzui, and then he ran away when he saw Kamoshida.

According to the information, this girl’s name is Takamaki Anzu, she is a Japanese-American returnee, and she currently works as a part-time model. Ellie also did a special search and found that she has no connection with other victims of late-night TV incidents.

, but Suzui Shiho, the victim in the Kamoshida Incident, was good friends with him.

Then there is the golden retriever delinquent. His name is Sakamoto Ryuji. He is a delinquent boy in school. His parents are divorced and he was once a member of the track and field team. Like Takamaki Anzu, he has nothing to do with the victims on late night TV, but according to the report

It shows that Ryuji Sakamoto once had a conflict with Taku Kamoshida, and was injured by the latter in the name of "self-defense" and forced him to withdraw from the track and field club.

Does that mean these two people have nothing to do with the late-night TV incident?

Looking at the information in front of her, Ai Li frowned, and then she clicked on the third person's information again.

Ren Amamiya is also a transfer student, but unlike the others, the other person has a criminal record. The crime is intentional harm to others. The victim is a director of the Artificial Island Management Association...Shido Justice?

"Um?"

Seeing this, Aili suddenly became energetic.

If she remembered correctly, Shido Masayoshi was a member of the board of directors of the Artificial Island Management Association, just like the murdered director Tanaka.

This is interesting!

Director Tanaka's death was related to shadow time, and now, another person who can enter shadow time is related to another director's criminal case. This is definitely not just a coincidence!

Any weak clue is likely to be the key to solving the mystery of the entire case, so after learning the news, Ellie immediately left Artificial Island No. 12 and came to the Central Police Station on the island. She first

What needs to be investigated is the injury case involving Ren Amamiya and Masayoshi Shido.

However, during the process of reviewing the case files, Ellie once again discovered a doubt.

That is, the main content recorded in the entire file is that Amamiya Ren and Shido Masayoshi had a conflict due to a quarrel, and then injured him. However, there is no record of why the two quarreled. Of course, if you look at it on the surface, this is just

An ordinary street fight would be nothing if not for one of the parties being a council member.

But this in itself is very strange. According to Ellie's investigation, Shido Masayoshi and Amamiya Ren have no interpersonal relationships. The two parties do not know each other, and there is no conflict at all.

So could it be that he, a director, had nothing to do and got into a fight with a high school student on the street?

Is your brain lame or kicked by a donkey?

So soon, Ai Li found the police officer who was responsible for investigating the case at the time and asked again.

"Nakamura Police Department, I want to know the details about case No. 1145."

"No. 1145?"

Hearing Ai Li's question, the Nakamura Police Department's expression changed slightly.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ellie, that... I don't remember this case very clearly..."

"Do you remember the fight between the Lion Boy Justice Director and a high school student?"

"Yes, yes, I remembered."

Hearing this, Nakamura Police Department nodded quickly and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

"This is just a small case..."

"Yes, I'm very curious. Why did Director Shidong get into a fight with a high school student in the street? They must be strangers to each other. What's the reason?"

"This...this..."

"If you feel embarrassed, then I'll let the media ask, how about that?"

"No no no no!!!"

Hearing Ellie's threat, the Nakamura Police Department hurriedly waved his hand. Unlike the policemen in the remote areas of the No. 12 Artificial Island, as a member of the Genkami Island Central Police Station, he knew that Ellie was ruthless, among other things.

, as long as Aili releases this news and then tells the media that she was the one who handled this case, then he will be in big trouble!!

Not to mention anything else, just being chased and intercepted by the media every day will kill people!

"In fact, I actually remember this case very clearly. The person who called the police was Director Shitong. He called the police claiming that someone was violent to him, and then..."

"It's all written in these cases. Let's talk about some things that are not in the cases."

Ellie interrupted the Nakamura Police Department's speech.

"What did the boy named Ren Amamiya say?"

"Well...he said he saw a drunken Shitong director harassing a woman passing by, so he went to stop her, but the woman couldn't stand and fell down and hit her head..."

"Where is that woman?"

"………………"

"So you didn't investigate at all and just convicted Shitong based on his testimony?"

“…………I’m so, so sorry!!!”

Looking at the Nakamura Police Department who lowered their heads to her, Ellie felt no fluctuation in her heart. This is also normal. Magic attack masters like her and Nangong Nayue are under the direct jurisdiction of the country, and ordinary people have no right to control them. But Shitong Zhengyi is an artificial island.

The director of the management association, to put it bluntly, the artificial island management association decides how much budget the police station has to allocate every year. In addition, this is not a big case in itself, it is just an ordinary fight. You are offended for such a trivial matter.

Of course, the directors of the Artificial Island Management Association were unwise, so they had no choice but to let the powerless high school students take the blame.

It was not difficult to prove what the Nakamura Police Department said. Even if Shido Masayoshi was crippled, he would not be able to harass women in public. So Ellie directly found the surveillance route that day, and then locked the single woman in the picture to find her for questioning.

, and the other party also confirmed that it was indeed Shido Masayoshi who went to harass him, and the high school student tried to stop him. Then Shido Masayoshi stumbled to the ground, and then he fell. Shido Masayoshi became angry and threatened to retaliate.

That high school student, she felt scared and ran away.

That's it?

After figuring out the cause and effect of the entire case, Ellie was speechless for a while. She originally thought that there was some grudge between Ren Amamiya and Masayoshi Shido, or whether Masayoshi Shido would be Ren Amamiya's number one.

No. 1 victim, but failed to turn to Director Tanaka. Now it seems that this is a typical urban novel where the protagonist is slapped in the face and cannot pretend to be cool...

What a waste of time.

Ren Amamiya's criminal record was wiped out easily, and Ellie flipped through the information in front of her in boredom. Now it seemed that there might be something wrong with her intuition. She originally thought there was some connection between them, but it seemed to be just a coincidence...

Huh? What is this?

Just when Ellie was about to read through the message of Lion Boy's Justice again and call it a day, she suddenly spotted an entry.

Cognitive learning.

What the hell is this?

Seeing this, Ellie immediately became interested. It was really interesting. She knew science and Ke Xue, but she had never seen He Xue.

Thinking of this, Ellie immediately accessed the intranet and started searching. Obviously, the research that Shido Masayoshi can handle is not a simple thing, but for Ellie, who has MAX hacking ability, mere confidential information is not at all

Question, not long after, Ellie investigated the research report on "Cognitive Mysteries" from the intranet of the Artificial Island Management Association.

"...The research on cognitive psychology based on the heritage of '138' is directly funded by the Artificial Island Management Association. The specific goal is to study how cognition operates, affects reality and changes the cognition of others..."

After browsing through "Cognitive Mysteries" in general, Ellie has some understanding of this research. Simply put, it is a theoretical study of how the subconscious psychology and will of the public affect reality, and how it affects and changes the will. To put it bluntly, it is a bit

It is similar to the research direction of psychology and mysticism.

This is interesting.

According to Ellie’s experience, shadow time, Tartarus, another self, Persona, these are almost all related to personality, psychology and subconsciousness. And "cognitive mythology" is a theoretical study that specializes in the study of subconsciousness and psychology.

, but this research is currently closed, and Ai Li cannot find any more information on the intranet.

Not only that, according to the above records, research has been completely suspended. The original chief researcher, Wakaba Isshiki, died in a car accident, and several affiliated research institutes have also been closed one after another.

Among them is the Kirijo Research Institute which was closed due to the accident.

Oh.

Seeing this, Ellie's eyes lit up. She still remembered Kirijō Mitsuru's words that the shadow time on the twelfth artificial island came about after the Kirijō Research Institute explosion.

And the Kirijiao Research Institute is actually a subordinate research institute of "Cognitive Hexology"?
Chapter completed!
