Indescribable cyberpunk

In the steaming hot pot restaurant, Zhu Jue looked at the mandarin duck soup pot in front of him. The heating device underneath was actually the same charcoal stove that he placed on the rooftop and used to eat barbecue.

"I'm telling you, this is what you want to eat in the winter. What this store emphasizes is a wild retro style. Look at this charcoal stove. It's an old thing from hundreds of years ago. His family is the only one on this street using it. It's the same as the induction cooker. The cooked food is just different, you can order whatever you want, it’s all on the screen, I’ll treat you.”

Wang Dong put his hands on both sides of the charcoal stove and clucked his tongue. On the right side of the desktop, there was a virtual screen activated by the desktop that floated, constantly switching pictures of various materials.

"Old Wang, didn't you say you had some information? It's not just to trick me into having a hot pot meal, right? If you really want to treat me, you can just send me a message. Why go to all that trouble?"

While he was talking, his fingers kept picking out various ingredients. He was also idle, eating hot pot as a pastime.

"Not just hot pot, I also collected intelligence. I specially contacted a friend at the outer city police station and asked him to get me a recent intelligence to look at this."

An audio-visual stick was handed over. After opening it, there were several computer screen pictures that should be taken, and Mavala's face appeared on the screen. Although it was only from the side, Donald could still barely recognize it.

"found it?"

"No, there are cameras everywhere in the outer city. Unless they go for plastic surgery, they will be discovered immediately as long as they go out on the street. This is the photo he was taken recently, but taking it doesn't mean he has been found. You Turn back."

He took a sip of the free hot tea and pointed at the screen.

Zhu Jue followed his instructions and pushed a few more photos. They were also photos of Mavala, taken at different dates and times.

"What's the meaning?"

So many photos were taken, but the police station didn't find this guy?

"These photos come from various streets in the outer city. This guy keeps moving, and he is very sensitive to cameras. He often disappears after being exposed once. Many times when the police arrive at the destination, he has already left and then appears. On another street, I saw him using this method to distract the police department."

"Is there something wrong with his brain? Didn't he hide at the construction site and be a coward? Now he suddenly wants to become a highly intelligent criminal, so he has to compete with the police station for wits and courage?"

A wanted criminal who ran away without a trace and had to stay in the outer city to show his face. Was he planning to make his debut in the criminal world?

"Look at these photos, there are eight in total, and the same person appears in five of them. This cannot be a coincidence."

Naturally, the cameras on the street could not only capture Mavala alone, but also captured some of the scenery around him.

A man with short blond hair and a white woolen coat.

"I suspect that this person is his accomplice. These two people have been wandering around the outer city. They must be planning new cases."

"It's not a plan. In fact, they are already taking action. Is this guy the companion that Mavala found? He has been wandering around the outer city. The time is consistent. There is no mistake."

In the past two days, Zhu Jue entrusted Li Qinglian to investigate many recent serial murder cases in the outer city. The death toll was updated almost every day. He also saw a lot of pictures from the scene. There were many corpses that had been bitten and eaten.

"You must have heard of the serial murders that are currently spreading in the outer city. One of the murderers is Mavala."

"How is it possible? Although Mavala killed people before, it was usually only one or two people. The intervals between the crimes were very long, just to provide for the gravel in his hands. However, the victims of this serial murder case have exceeded 20, and the time before and after In less than a week, the contrast is so huge, it’s unreasonable.”

Wang Dong knew something about Mavala. He was not a good person, but he was not a perverted murderer.

"I asked someone to investigate this case, and there were several corpses that showed traces of being devoured by sand snakes. Of course, more of them were bitten and torn by some kind of monster. That's why this second person appeared. It seems to me that Mavala must have teamed up with someone, and I don’t know what the fault of this guy is, and he actually cooperated with such a murderous maniac.”

Put the beef meatballs brought by the waiter into the hot pot, add two more pieces of meat and cook them. He casually clicked on TALK on his mobile phone, opened the Internet link he received from He Ye, and put it in front of Wang Dong.

"Wait a minute. According to what you said, he was involved in the recent serial murders. So where does he appear in these photos? Give me the audio-visual stick."

First, he turned on his order watch. As a first-level investigator, Wang Dong naturally paid attention to this serial murder and collected a lot of information. Naturally, there was no shortage of such things as the victim distribution map. Soon the screen showed A virtual map of the outer city appeared, with dozens of red dots expanding with ripples on it.

"Hey~ What are you doing? There are so many customers nearby looking at you."

He took the wind chime out of his backpack, dipped the beef slices in seasoning and put it into its mouth. When he looked up, he saw Wang Dong, who was looking at the photos on the audio-visual stick and clicking on the screen.

"As expected, you see, I marked the location where the camera captured Mavala on this urban map of the outer city. The locations where the eight photos were taken are very similar to the locations where the serial murders occurred. What's your guess? That’s right, Mawala is one of the participants in the case!”

"Of course it's correct. The person I asked for help is a top student from a first-class university. How come the route on the screen is in this state?"

After Wang Dong's annotation, Zhu Jue soon discovered that if the crime points in the entire serial murder case were connected, it would be an unclosed circle.

As mentioned before, the architectural layout of Yecheng is a ring. The center of the circle is the central area of ​​Yecheng, and the outer city is naturally the ring. As a result, the phenomenon shown in this picture, Mavala and his companions seem to be surrounding The crime was committed in the outer city area.

Wherever you go, kill wherever you go!

"According to this rule, maybe we can go to areas where they haven't gone yet to guard them!"

Zhu Jue thought of a way to wait and see.

"We are here now. I asked you to come here to eat hot pot today because this is the place where Mawala was last photographed by the surveillance camera."

Lift your finger and tap the center of the unclosed circle.

Bang!

On the street outside the hot pot restaurant, something heavy fell from the sky.

What followed was the screams and shouts of the crowd.

Wang Dong and Zhu Jue looked at each other.

Feng Ling lay on the front of his backpack and tried his best to get his head closer to the meat on the chopsticks that Zhu Jue was holding in his hand.

It's better to come early than to arrive by chance.
