Sinmonger Chapter 2: Clean up
Crown County, HL North Division II.
Jim Malone is sitting comfortably in his office smoking a cigar, but the world’s uninvited guests love to come uninvited at times like this.
The phone on the table rang, and Malone reluctantly pressed the call button.
“Sir, Mr. Ness is here. He said he wants to see you immediately.”
“Let him in.” Malone hung up.
A few minutes later, the paper man directly pushed the door and walked in, skipping the courtesy of knocking on the door to say hello, walking to Malone’s desk and saying, “I need you to unseal a secret file.”
“Huh…” Malone let out a smoke ring: “Well, I’m not surprised at all, what do you want? A picture of the governor’s mistress?”
“Listen, Jim, I think I found it.” Paper Man said to Ma Long with a solemn expression: “The murderer of San Marco’s ‘Blood Midnight’ ten years ago.”
Ma Long took the cigar out of his mouth with a noncommittal expression: “You know that I work night shifts all year round to hide from you?”
Paper Man still ignored the other party’s ridicule: “I’m not joking.”
“Okay, I understand what you mean.” Malone stood up: “Tell me about the clues you have now.”
Paper Man said: “There was a murder at the Copper Parrot Tavern this afternoon. You will understand after watching the surveillance video.”
Ma Long said: “Okay, you wait.” He turned around and pressed the phone on the table…
HL’s work efficiency is very high, and it can be arbitrarily transferred to the archives of all surveillance video in the jurisdiction. After a while, the two watched the incident again on the huge screen on the wall of Malone’s office. After that, Malone ordered to go on, and sent an investigation team to transfer all the surveillance video of the hotel in the past week to analyze and study to see if there were any new findings.
The paper man looked quite excited, and said to himself: “The same height and body shape, cruel methods, this behavior that doesn’t take murder seriously at all, and the same kind of behavior that I got ten years ago. Those incomplete clues describe exactly the same, it must be him! If the DNA comparison is correct, then…”
“So what?” Malone poured a bowl of cold water on it: “The DNA we obtained ten years ago could not find any matches in the world’s databases. Even if the DNA comparison results are correct this time, we All I can know is that the murderous king came back ten years ago, and he still doesn’t know anything about other things.”
“Whether this kind of person has a legal identity is not important. The key is that we now have more specific features of his appearance, and we can start from the entry and exit records.” He interrupted: “This case does not require your intervention, just leave it to our HL.”
“What did you say?!”
Ma Long said: “If you have to check, you can.” He pointed to the door behind the paper man: “Go out and turn left, go to the end, find my secretary, and sign an irrelevant contract. A word is enough.”
Paperman said: “Jim, you know I’m not going to join HL.”
“Then you should also know how many people endure great pain to transform themselves into transformed people every year, just to play a chorus role in HL. Not to mention, they have to fill in the weight to calculate. Paper documents. I did everything for you years ago, and you still refuse to sign.”
Paper Man said: “We have talked about this topic many times, I like being a policeman, more free, and…”
Ma Long didn’t let him speak: “Since you want freedom, you won’t be able to enjoy any HL’s case-handling resources and authority. I’m giving you information out of personal friendship, because I have the right to resist some things. But Now we are talking about a wanted criminal who is dangerous level 4, and only those who bear ‘those four characters’ have the right to pursue them.”
“Then what if I have to investigate?” Paper Man asked forcefully.
Malone lit a cigar again and said, “Then go check it out. Just don’t get in the way of HL. This is my authority and I can give you the greatest tolerance.”
The paper man replied lukewarmly, “Thank you then.” Before he finished speaking, he left the door.
He had just walked for less than a minute when Malone picked up the receiver of the desk phone and dialed the encrypted number of the HL European headquarters: “I am Colonel Malone of the Second Division of the North, please pick up the general for me… Yes, I know it’s early morning, so you’d better wake him up quickly.”
…………
At the same time, the Phoenix Opera House, twenty meters underground.
“Well done, this underwater city of reflections, hehe…” Blood Owl said with a grinning smile: “It’s hard to imagine how much it would cost to build such an anthill-like complex interconnected tunnel under the whole of Venice. Time, human and financial resources, not to mention the scheming of the designer.”
In front of him was a man with an empty left leg below the knee. The other’s voice trembled with fear and despair: “Who are you?! There is no such person as you in the second division! “
The blood owl smiled and said, “So you Iron Commandments only sent a group of **** here? I walked all the way here~IndoMTL.com~ I didn’t meet a strong class. What, listen to you, Venice Is there no one better than me in HL? That’s a bit lonely… The city is really in decline now.”
The man seemed to understand, the blood owl was not someone sent by the high-level empire, he almost screamed frantically: “Why are you doing this?!!”
“Ah? What are you doing?” With an inexplicable expression on Xue Xiao’s face, he looked back at the blood and stumps that spread to the distance behind him: “Do you mean cleanup work? What’s this worth? You are howling with excitement? I just need a place where no one is disturbed to live and do some scientific research. You know, when you move into a new home, you should always clean up first, so that there are no snakes, worms, ants, etc. always in the eye. Climb out.”
“You…you…” The man didn’t know what to say, but he understood that the mad demon in front of him would never leave any living room, so he put his hand in his arms: “Today, you will steel Two senior priests of the precepts, thirty-six priests, and ninety believers were completely slaughtered… Casualties of this scale, the upper class will never sit idly by…” He held a pocket watch in his hand, which was on his forehead and chest. After drawing a cross once, he shouted: “My Lord is my mind, and my body is punished by God!”
Before he finished speaking, a burst of white light erupted from the pocket watch.
Xue Xiao knew what that meant, and in just a split second, he moved to the man’s side, forcibly tore off the man’s entire hand from his wrist, and shattered the man’s head with one foot.
The light of the pocket watch gradually dimmed and disappeared…
“I really hope they can come faster.” The blood owl stared at the broken corpse on the ground with bloodthirsty eyes: “I prefer to experiment with living bodies.”
