Chapter II Key Cases
It comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
Jin Maiji finished all the shrimp dumplings and fish fillet porridge in a few mouthfuls, and then quickly flipped through the documents placed on his desk.
After thinking for a moment, the boy picked up a document and left.
[Zombie attack at Kowloon Bay Saltworks]
Meng Fan paid attention secretly, then withdrew his gaze, picked up the documents on his desk and read them carefully.
Before leaving yesterday, he ordered his clerks to eliminate as much unfounded information as possible and screen out the cases most likely to involve supernatural factors.
Now, the matter has been settled.
All cases with direct evidence that it was indeed the work of ghosts were presented before our eyes.
Cases where the losses are not serious, and there is no corresponding evidence, or lack of basic logic, are placed in the most corner.
There is no way, among the entire ghost-catching team, the only people who are truly capable of subjugating demons and exterminating demons are Meng Fan and Jin McGee. It is true that the others have outstanding professional abilities——
Either his marksmanship is top-notch, his fighting ability is outstanding, or he is good at analyzing intelligence.
However, he lacked the corresponding means to deal with the ghosts, so he could only deal with them and obey the orders of his superiors.
In this case, there are bound to be omissions.
For example: Maplewood Mansion Haunted Case.
About half a month ago, residents living here successively reported to the police:
The room is haunted, and ghosts appear on the bed.
When riding the elevator alone late at night, I often find that there is an extra person suddenly appearing, looking pale and silent.
Since there were more than ten people reporting the crime, the police paid special attention to it and sent several spies to stay there for three consecutive days to try to find some clues.
The result was nothing.
I took the elevator many times late at night and never saw the so-called second person.
The same is true when sleeping. There is no ghost pressure on the bed. I wake up naturally after sleeping and I don’t know how fragrant it is.
Based on these survey results, psychological experts from this department gave the following explanation:
Most of the tenants in Maplewood Building are working-class people, and their lives are stressful. Long-term psychological anxiety can easily lead to "ghosts in bed".
In the same way, taking an elevator alone is also related to excessive mental stress.
The most important point is that television news and print media are overwhelmingly promoting ghost stories. Therefore, experts agree that all people in Hong Kong suffer from a certain degree of persecutory paranoia and like to make unreasonable associations with small things and spread fear to each other.
in short.
The haunted incident in Maplewood Building was simply ignored, lying silently in the corner eating ashes.
Meng Fan was concentrating on reading the first document. Twenty minutes later, he read it three times and understood every detail and word mentioned in it.
Yesterday afternoon when I went to Superintendent Ashin's office to perform his duties, I heard about the death of a brother in the police department.
Now, he saw more detailed information.
Deceased: The best brother in the police force
Cause of death: Zombie seeking life.
Time: noon.
This is what makes Meng Fan most confused.
You know, all ghosts and zombies are afraid of the sun. Even the previously killed Issey Miyake, which was blessed by the spells of the old ghosts and turned into a mutant zombie that is infinitely close to Western vampires, is still afraid of the sun.
But the female zombie who killed Brother Yi was able to walk freely under the sun without any influence.
What is going on?
Could it be that she is too cruel and profound, and has evolved to a state where she is not afraid of the sun?
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be!
According to Superintendent Ashin's description and the records in this file, the female zombie was hit by three individual rocket launchers in a row, just like a normal person. In the end, the guard used the magic sword he had left behind to kill her.
Ordinary people don't have magic power...
Therefore, in Meng Fan's analysis, this female zombie is not necessarily very powerful, but very special.
"No matter how prestigious the case is, it is better to solve this case."
Meng Fan closed the document, carried the shoulder bag with the canopy ruler, and walked out of the office.
"Sir Meng."
"Sir Meng."
Seeing the chief going out, the workers stopped what they were doing and said hello one after another.
"I'm going to the mortuary in the criminal investigation building next door. If you have any emergency, you can go there and look for me."
Junior brother Kim McGee is out on field duty, so it makes sense for him to stay in the department and respond to emergencies at any time.
What's more, Meng Fan didn't have any leisure time.
During working hours, he investigates the "murder case of Brother No. 1", which is the most important issue for his superiors. After get off work, he is dating Amin, and at the same time, he pays attention to the international counterfeit banknote case that may have hidden clues.
Watching the inspector go away, a police officer murmured:
"The mortuary? Brother Yi's body is parked there, and the female zombie seems to be there too."
Superintendent Ashin supervised the international counterfeit banknote case and did not stay in the office. Kim McGee went out to perform tasks. Inspector Meng, who was in charge of the department, now went to the mortuary, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
Everyone was talking a lot.
"Sir Meng must be investigating that big case."
"Hey, hey, tell me how long it will take for the inspector to find out the truth about Brother Yi's murder."
"Three days at most."
"I'll bet for a week."
Because the videotape of the demon subduing was released to the public yesterday evening, everyone was full of confidence in their superiors. After all, the grenade technique that Meng Fan showed at that time was indeed very capable of bluffing people.
The only exception is the parties concerned.
Meng Fan thought about it all the way, but he still couldn't figure out which type of zombie was not afraid of the sun, had a very low moral level, and would be stabbed to death by an ordinary person holding a magic weapon with a sword.
"Oh, I still don't have enough experience."
"If I have the opportunity to spend more time with my master in the future, he has spent half his life slaying demons and demons. He has seen a lot. He can tell some stories and experiences casually, and he might be able to come in handy in the future."
Muttering to himself, he came to the mortuary.
Cold.
dry.
Mixed with crying.
"Beautiful boy, come here to identify the body?"
On the bench at the door, an old man in formal clothes asked.
"One of our own." Meng Fan showed his police officer ID.
"Hello Inspector."
After saying hello, the old man continued: "Which cabinet do you want to check?"
"a001,a002."
"On the roof, please follow me."
The sound of keys rattling echoed in the corridor.
The two corpse cabinets Meng Fan mentioned contained a brother and a female zombie respectively.
Seeing is worse than hearing. As long as you come and take a look in person, you can tell what kind of zombie it is.
To be honest, if other people were killed, this case would have been closed long ago. After all, the murderer has been killed. But Brother Yi is different. At that level, he was suddenly assassinated by a zombie. If you think about it with your toes, you can guess that there must be a conspiracy behind it.
Home.
Dig it out!
This is the current most important task of the ghost-catching unit.
However, there are specialties in the industry, and the senior management also knows that it is easy for amateurs to lead experts to cause trouble, so they do not rush them, as long as they report progress from time to time.
"Inspector, the place has arrived."
