Chapter 13 Murder
Dead people.
Many people died.
That's what people are talking about this morning.
When Simon went out in the morning, he saw many mounted policemen speeding past outside the street, and a police steam train, which was only available in the inner city, passed by.
There are also police stations in the outer city, but these police stations basically only manage a few important areas in the outer city.
The police never come to chaotic places like Shunnington streets, and they don't dare to come.
Even if a murder occurs, if no one reports it, the police will turn a deaf ear and pretend it never happened.
Today there were so many mounted police officers and police steam vehicles equipped only for the inner city police station. It was definitely a serious incident on the streets of Hunnington.
The police in the inner city are all very conscientious, and it is impossible to mobilize them unless there is any major incident.
Simon was curious and followed him.
The mounted police and the police steam car were parked at the end of Shunnington Street, which is the area bordering the lower town, that area of uninhabited shabby houses.
The police cordoned off the housing area and even blocked the road.
Dozens of police officers were searching around the shabby housing area.
The melon-eaters on the streets of Shunnington stood more than ten meters away, poking their heads and talking about it.
Simon saw some policemen carrying out corpses one after another from the housing area. The corpses were lined up on the roadside. There were quite a few of them. It looked like a lot of people had died.
Simon listened to the discussions of the people around him and learned some things.
It was the homeless people and drug addicts in this no-man's land who were brutally murdered last night. The death toll has now reached twenty-one.
Because no one lived around the dilapidated housing area, other residents on the streets of Shounington did not notice the abnormality last night.
Not only that, the bodies of those homeless people and drug addicts were extremely damaged, as if they had been bitten by something. A large number of their bodies were torn into pieces, and a large amount of skin and flesh tissue disappeared.
Everyone speculated that it might have been done by pollution monsters.
Nothing is simple when it comes to pollution monsters.
No wonder the inner city police are also out in force.
Simon squeezed out of the crowd and went to Papa Manning's restaurant.
Many people in the restaurant were talking about the murder in the shabby housing area.
Simon found that York was there, and he and Father Manning were talking quietly. Simon walked over, sat on the bar, and ordered a glass of beer.
"Dad Manning, you are well-informed. Were the murders over there caused by pollution monsters?" Simon asked in a low voice.
"Why do you ask?"
"I'm just curious, can't I tell you?"
"It's not that I can't tell you. Let me tell you, you should be more careful lately." Father Manning probably planned to pay him a little because he earned a thousand yuan in the past two days.
"The police are basically sure that the murderer is a pollution monster, and there is more than one. So until the police solve the pollution monster, you'd better not go out at night, and you should be careful even at home."
Simon gasped. Once a pollution monster appears on the streets, it will definitely be a disaster. If it cannot be caught in time, there is no telling how many people will die.
"Could it be that the people on the streets of Hunnington are contaminated?" Simon asked quickly.
"That's not clear."
After a while, shouts came from outside. It was the voice of the police, which meant that all the idle people on the street should go back to their homes, and the entire street would be searched immediately, hoping to find traces of the pollution monster.
The guests in the restaurant immediately stood up and left, very cooperatively.
"Go back quickly. Those police are not kind people. Don't let them break into the house by force."
"I'll go back now." Simon nodded and left immediately without even drinking the beer in the glass.
A mounted policeman was riding a big horse across the street, holding a big lama and shouting. The people who were used to eating and watching on the street were very cooperative and walked home.
It's not that people in Xiuning Street are easy to talk to. In areas like Xiuning Street, there are very few people who are easy to talk to.
It is true to describe this place as a poor place with unruly people.
Normally, the police would not dare to come here. You know how hard the people here are to talk to.
But things are different now, something big has happened.
Even the most vicious gangsters on the streets are frightened by the suspected appearance of pollution monsters.
Moreover, there are a large number of armed policemen here in the outer city, and people have been sent from the inner city. No one dares to cause trouble at this juncture.
"Simon, Simon, what happened outside?" Dem leaned on the window and shouted to Simon.
"It's none of your business. Stay at home and take good care of your sister. When the police come to check, you should take the initiative to open the door and let them check, you know?"
Dem nodded without knowing why.
When Simon returned home, Simon had a severe headache looking at the books on the bookcase.
Good guy, there are a lot of books about the mysterious side. Anyone who reads them will find them strange.
If the police linked him with the pollution monster, it would give me a headache just thinking about it.
The most important thing is the notebook hidden at home. It would be really bad if it was discovered.
There were so many people outside now, and there were mounted policemen walking around the streets, it was hard for him to find another place to hide.
Ten minutes later, Simon heard footsteps outside the door and saw four policemen with loaded ammunition standing outside through the window.
Simon opened the door and first saw a tall female police officer.
The female police officer wore a black leather jacket and tight jeans, which perfectly highlighted her long legs and her figure was very hot.
He is 175cm tall, a little taller than him.
His facial features are as exquisite as those of a star, and he has a heroic aura that cannot be concealed.
There was a sharpness in those blue eyes.
Simon was amazed by her appearance.
The female police officer took out an ID as soon as she came up.
"Hello, I am Sheriff Kasha. Because of the case, we need to search your room. Please cooperate."
Simon saw four tall male police officers standing next to her, the long guns in their hands pointed slightly at Simon. If Simon made any abnormal behavior, they would not hesitate to subdue Simon, and even kill him.
Sheriff, in the outer city, one sergeant manages a police station.
The position is very high.
To become a police sergeant at a young age, one must either have a very deep background or rely on unspoken rules to get to the position.
No matter which one, Simon can't afford to offend him now.
"Of course, no problem, please come in."
Two male police officers walked in first and stopped at the door.
Sheriff Kasha walked in, first scanned the entire room, and then took out a palm-sized compass from the pocket under her leather jacket.
Portable mana meter.
It's exactly the same as the one in old Ethan's hand.
This beautiful female police chief actually had a portable magic energy measuring device. Simon estimated that she was from the inner city.
Being a police sergeant in the inner city is an even more extraordinary status.
Kasha took the compass and first scanned Simon's body. After finding no magic energy, she scanned every corner of the room. This was to measure whether there was magic energy in the room.
If there is magic energy, whether it is related to the murder or not, you will be in great trouble.
Fortunately, there are no more mana ores in his house.
Even if there was any residual magic energy, the shadow ghost would have swallowed it long ago.
Kasha found nothing, she put the compass away, and the other four policemen breathed a sigh of relief.
Kasha's eyes fell on the bookcase next to the bed, and Simon's heart tightened.
Kasha picked up a book and flipped through it casually. After flipping through several books in succession, she walked up to Simon and asked casually: "They are all about occult books. Do you like the occult side very much?"
