After eating and drinking tea, it's time to talk about business.
"Since about two weeks ago, strange things have happened in our team's territory." Shimonji Daolong calmly told Seiji, "Someone... froze to death."
"Frozen to death?" Seiji frowned slightly.
It is late autumn now. Two weeks ago, it would have been just late autumn. The temperature at that time was not so high that people would freeze to death.
Unless it's a very miserable bum, with very bad weather, and unfortunately not in good health...
In short, this should not be a normal situation.
"Yes, frozen to death, right at the corner of the street." Dao Long said, raised his hand and slapped three times.
A big man in a suit walked into the room, bowed his head first, then put an envelope on the table, and left.
... How many people are standing outside the door? Seiji was a little curious for a moment.
But for now let's look at the envelope first.
Shiwen Daolong took out a stack of photos from the envelope, took out the first one on top, and slowly placed it in front of Seiji.
In the photo is a young man in an avant-garde jacket and jeans, with a pretty haircut, curled up in a corner of an alley, hugging himself tightly, with a pale face, wide-eyed eyes, and an incomparable expression Terrified.
"This is the first one I found. I think you can see that he is not a homeless person with nowhere to go, nor is he a frail old man, but an ordinary gangster with bad conduct." Dao Long said .
"That's right, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the kind of person who should freeze to death on the street." Seiji nodded.
"However, he was really frozen to death... our people were looking for him for certain things, and when we found him, he was in this state, his whole body was stiff and cold, as if he had turned into ice." Dao Long said calmly.
"The subordinates reported it, because they felt that things were weird, so I judged that it was best not to meddle too much, so I reported it to the police anonymously."
"Later, according to the information from the police station, this weird corpse was just left alone! There was no investigation, no further investigation, and it was just dragged away and cremated."
Seiji frowned.
"What about the family of the deceased?"
"I don't know. This guy came here from outside a year ago. No one cares about his past and family, and he doesn't have any close friends... He belongs to the dregs that don't matter if he dies." Dao Long calmly typical.
Scum... The word does not have any contemptuous meaning to the team leader, it is purely telling the truth - no one will pay attention to it after death, and it has no value to others.
There are actually more people like this in society than most people expect.
In his previous life, Seiji also somewhat understood the darkness in this area, so he wouldn't make a big fuss at this time.
From Shi Wen Daolong's point of view, this is obviously the young man's knowledge in that area, and he must have learned it from his family.
"This is just the first one." Daolong continued, took out the second photo and placed it in front of the young man.
This photo is even weirder. An uncle with messy hair, bearded face, and almost naked body is stuck against a wall in a "big" shape. His face is also full of horror, and his teeth are clenched.
"This is the second one... Our people were also looking for him for something, but when they found him, they found that he was in this state. He was frozen to death just like the first person. His whole body was stiff and cold, and his flesh and skin were frozen to the wall. together, as if being welded together." Dao Long said calmly.
Seiji touched his chin.
"If I'm not mistaken, this one is also..."
"Scum, a hidden wanted criminal, also a guy who no one cares about when he dies."
"It's the same as the last one...same identity, same death method..."
Shiwen Daolong nodded, and silently put out the remaining photos one by one.
There were a total of five people, five corpses, and their death patterns were different, but they all had terrified faces and strange postures.
"This is all we have found so far... They are all scum, all frozen to death, and dying in unknown corners. If our people did not deliberately look for them, no one knows when they will be discovered. " Daolong said.
"Why are you looking for them?" Seiji asked.
"Because... a kind of 'drug'." Dao Long bowed his head slightly.
Seiji raised his eyebrows.
The so-called "drugs"... must be that kind of thing.
"Is this 'drug'... sold by them? And the 'quality' is good, or the 'price' is relatively low?"
Daolong was silent.
After a while, he spoke slowly.
"This 'medicine', our people failed to get the real thing, but according to the description, it seems a little weird."
"It's between solid and liquid. It's a small soft mass. If you put it on your palm, it will vibrate slightly by itself."
"After taking it directly, you will feel it moving in your stomach, and then you will feel hot all over your body, and then... it's like going to another world."
"If you watch from the sidelines, you will see that the user seems to be dead for about an hour, the breathing is extremely weak, and the body temperature drops very low, but then he can wake up and return to normal in half an hour."
Seiji frowned.
"You...have never seen this 'drug'?"
"Yes, never." Dao Long replied very positively, "This kind of thing appeared on our territory, of course we have to investigate."
"But the sellers you found are all dead, and they all died in this weird way."
"That's right, the search of their former residence did not find anything useful, and the clues were completely broken."
"The police turned a blind eye to this?"
"Yes, all bodies were disregarded and cremated without any kind of investigation."
"What price did they sell this kind of thing during their lifetime? And who did they sell it to?"
"They are sold to young people at one-third of the price of general 'drugs'... To be precise, they should be people under the age of twenty-five."
The scene fell silent.
"There are too many weird things about this matter, and the police are ignoring it, so you think it might belong to the extraordinary field?" Seiji said calmly.
Daolong nodded.
"This is the last possibility I can think of... So, I urgently want to know from the adults 'over there', what happened here... our Shiwen Group's territory? Or what is happening..."
The team leader sighed.
"An incident that can silence the police is not something that we, the people in the shadows, can touch."
"But... even if it's pedantic, even if it's stubborn, I think, since we're living on this land, we must know what's going on here."
"Only by knowing what happened can we try to protect ourselves, and what we want to protect... everything!"
"Lord Springfield... We are insignificant and insignificant existences in the eyes of the adults above, but just like ants have an order to obey desperately, we also have our own dignity and things that cannot be compromised."
Shi Wen Daolong finished speaking slowly, and then once again, sitting back, bowed to the young man in front of him.
"Here, I sincerely ask you... to point out the fog."
Seiji: "..."
Even if you beg me, I don't know, uncle! !
Seiji, who was expressionless, was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
