"Miss, we are closing now, please go back quickly!"

Niya stared blankly, holding a bottle of wine with one hand, and smiled helplessly.

"What will happen if I let you drink for a while?"

Hawke scratched his head and looked at the time. At 3 a.m. on July 3, 2234, the only customer in the shop was Niya, who was lying drunkenly on the bar.

There have been a lot less people in the city recently, and many people are very careful when traveling. The occurrence of 13 bombings has completely thrown the entire city into chaos. The harm caused by the bombings is huge. People everywhere are panicked. The economy has been hit hard by the continued occurrence of bombings.

The administrative department has carried out strict large-scale control and inspections on the middle level. Hazardous substance detectors have been installed on most streets. Some places with a large flow of people must also be inspected one by one.

"I'm a waste!"

Nia smiled helplessly, and Hawke laughed.

"Okay, after you finish drinking this bottle, hurry up and go back."

Niya laughed, and with a bang, the wine bottle in her hand fell to the ground and shattered. Hawke frowned slightly, watching Niya stand up unsteadily to get new wine, but helplessly I can only bring her a new bottle of wine.

"How about quitting? After all, even the business department can't catch those crazy people, how can you..."

Suddenly Niya started to rub against him, grabbed Hawke's collar with one hand, and then glared at Hawke fiercely.

"Listen carefully Hawke, I will definitely catch those lunatics with my own hands."

Niya said, unscrewing the bottle and taking a sip. Hawke knew that Niya was in a bad mood. No one would be in a good mood if this happened. Hawke had seen too many things. It is clear that the criminals this time are unusual. This kind of crime that is not motivated by money or power is very terrifying.

The reason why the other party has been able to succeed many times is because there are secret helpers. These helpers are probably ordinary people on the street, and the business department can't find any evidence at all.

Everyone is powerless in this matter. Congress has issued a bounty of up to 1 million. Many private detectives have participated in it, as have many mutant guilds. But no matter how everyone investigates, , there is still no clue at all, there are more than 3,000 suspects, but there is no indirect or direct evidence to find the collaborators of this h.d.l criminal organization.

This matter has evolved into a very thorny problem. Chemistry professionals in various fields have conducted effective analyzes based on some information published by the industry department and on-site experimental analysis of explosives, and have come to a conclusion. A bomb-making criminal has very professional chemical knowledge. Although the bombs he makes are not powerful, their effects are significant and can always surprise people.

This matter has gone from the very beginning to the fact that the administrative department tried its best to cover up and suppress it, and it has become a matter that is being discussed by the whole people. However, the targets of this criminal's attack are not fixed, and there is basically no connection between the targets of the attack, and there is no Conflicts of interest.

The range of explosions is all in the middle level. There are currently no problems in the lower and upper levels. Most of the rich people in the upper levels will carry powerful mutant bodyguards with them. Even if explosions occur around them, S-class mutants can still use telekinesis and A scab created by the body to protect the client.

As a result, a large number of high-level mutants once again obtained a large number of jobs. Many wealthy people in the middle level could only hire some mid-level mutants, and even low-level mutants. The income of mutants began to rise again.

Only the mutants of the Lightning Skull Guild are still continuing to investigate the explosion. The industry clearly recognizes their strength. They have already had the strength of S-level mutants, but they have never taken the mutant exam.

Nowadays, the definition of the wages of mutants is quite vague, and basically few people in the field care about it, because now Congress has begun to launch a phase one vaccine against the violent alienation genes of mutants. This kind of The vaccine requires monthly injections and is not cheap.

It has been more than three years since there has been an incident of mutants going berserk. In the past, the policies against mutants have basically begun to be artificially relaxed. In addition, as long as mutants do not cause trouble, there will be no problems. .

Looking at Niya who was still laughing but already drunk on the bar, Hawke could only get up and clean up. He smiled helplessly. This was already the fifth time that Niya was drunk in his bar. Unfortunately, Hawke could only carry Nia to the lounge at the back and let her spend the night on the sofa.

"No matter how much you investigate, there will be no results, even in a short period of time!"

Accompanied by a female voice full of laughter, Hawke scratched his head. After the door of the tavern was pushed open, Mo Xiaolan walked in first, followed by Gene.

"I'm just going to clean up now, why are you two bastards here again?"

Hawke said as he put down the broom, pulled up his dress, and then leaned over. Gene smiled helplessly and stared at Niya lying on the bar.

"I think it would be better for you to do something. This little girl is quite confused now."

Hawk said, Gene could only smile helplessly.

"I've been a little too busy lately."

"Yes, you are busy every day, 24 hours a day, but what are you busy with? In my opinion, you are lazy."

Gene said nothing, walked to the seat next to Niya and sat down, then took the unscrewed wine from Niya's hand, took a big sip, and then threw it back to the angry Mo Xiaolan.

"Those bastards in the Operations Department are all pig-brains."

Mo Xiaolan sat on the right side of Niya angrily, and then looked at Hawke.

"I know, you want to eat barbecue, right? You sit down for a while."

Mo Xiaolan was about to explode. If this case was placed in the past, it would be very easy to find clues, but it is not possible now. It is very chaotic. Many of the staff below are afraid of taking responsibility, so when reporting some investigations, they will omit or deliberately tamper with some things, including the suspect's testimony, etc.

This is what makes Mo Xiaolan the most angry. As long as the first few cases of this case can be carefully and strictly searched, some traces can still be found, but under the chaotic management of the Operations Department, coupled with various problems in the city, it is too difficult to figure out this matter now.

Fragmented and incomplete information is always everywhere in the city. This is more complicated than the case in which the Hillman family used AI to commit crimes in the past. At least the Hillman family's crimes in the past can be traced, but because it involves urban issues, the Operations Department can't do anything at all.

The current case is too ordinary. It looks ordinary to Mo Xiaolan. A madman who has mastered dangerous chemical knowledge is constantly making bombs, and then some people put the bombs in designated places, and then the bombs explode. The case itself is not complicated, but it is complicated that there is no entry point.

Some of the businessmen who died in the explosion had too many people who had grudges with them, from top to bottom. It may be that an ordinary employee in the company put down the bomb, but people are born to lie. So many people are lying intentionally or unintentionally, just because they don't want to have anything to do with this matter. Even if some people have been investigated for grudges with the deceased, all this is not enough to convict.

Mo Xiaolan knew this clue in the ninth toy factory explosion. If he couldn't predict the next move of the criminal, he would never be able to catch him.

There were too many people who had a grudge against the toy factory. On that day, the factory took back toys from more than 60 stores in the city. More than 60 people were all practitioners in the toy industry. The things that caused the explosion and triggered other chain explosions were in one of the toys in the more than 60 toy stores. Although they have been found, it is unknown from which toy store the toys were taken back.

Those stores were acquired by merchants through legal investments such as the stock market. All the toys in the stores belonged to the toy factory. Because they had not paid for the goods, they had to be taken back. At the beginning, the contracts signed with those stores were very loose. The store operators could get a year's supply of toys by investing in the stores as qualifications, and then settle accounts at the end of the year.

Most people were deceived into the game by such unprecedented conditions and finally suffered losses. The stores also lost money because of the sluggish stock market.

These more than 60 people hated the merchants in the toy factory, and now in just one month, the group of toy merchants has suffered huge losses.

The situation is now completely chaotic. Mo Xiaolan can't find the direction of investigation at all. There are too many complicated reasons for this chaos. It seems to be a simple but extremely complicated case.

"What should we do now? We have reached a dead end!"

Gene said with a smile. Mo Xiaolan pressed his forehead. There are many rumors about the wise man at the bottom, but he seems to have nothing to do with this case, because he is a guy who provides planning and then charges some planning fees.

Where the wise man lives and where he is active is also a big problem. Gene and Mo Xiaolan have squatted in some places, but the wise man has never appeared.

The enemy is moving in secret, and what is their purpose? This is the most troublesome point, or they have no purpose at all.

"I think you should have a good chat with this girl."

Mo Xiaolan looked at Nia who had begun to snore, and Gene just shook his head.

"If she can't find a way out, no matter how much I say, it's meaningless."

A whiff of fragrance came, and the two looked at the plate of barbecue in Hawke's hand, and immediately got up and found a small table to sit down. Hawke put down the barbecue in his hand, walked over and carried Nia, and she groaned and stared blankly.

"I..."

"Okay, go to bed quickly."

Hawke pressed Nia's head and threw her roughly on the sofa in the lounge. After picking up a blanket to cover her, he put a bottle of water aside and returned to the tavern.

"The real sin is often hidden in people's hearts!"

Hawke muttered, and Gene and Mo Xiaolan looked at him, and then Hawke laughed and said nothing more.

Gene nodded.

"We can only take one step at a time."

Mo Xiaolan stared at Gene.

"I can investigate it myself, Gene, you should continue to go to the barrier area."

Gene hummed.

Hawke stared at Gene in a daze. He was not lying when he said that Gene was being lazy, because Gene now gave him the feeling that he had lost his goal. So apart from investigating some crimes every day, he did nothing else and completely numbed himself in this way. This was unlike the Gene that Hawke had known for almost a century.

It seems that Alpha's matter has a great impact on Gene. Hawke sighed helplessly, walked over and patted Gene on the shoulder.

"If you are too tired, take a good rest for a while and visit your old friends."

Gene hummed.

Hawke was still a little worried, because there are too many problems in the city now. Obviously, if Gene just came forward, it might be solved, but after thinking about it, Hawke seemed to understand that many things cannot be solved by Gene coming forward.

The biggest problem now is Brandon, the head of Section 9, who is already on the verge of stepping down because of the problem of pricing power and a large number of behind-the-scenes transactions, which have been noticed by the parliamentarians' factions.

"Establish Section 13, Gene, and find some capable people."

Hawk said suddenly, and Gene shook his head for a while and said with a smile.

"Capable people? What will the result be?"

Hawk said nothing more, because Mo Xiaolan's eyes dimmed.

"Okay, sorry, I shouldn't mention this kind of thing. I'll have a good drink with you."

Hawk said and sat over.

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Niya woke up from her sleep. Everything in front of her was a little blurry, but she still grabbed the water beside her. After drinking a whole bottle of water, she covered her aching head and stood up staggeringly. As soon as she opened the door of the lounge, Niya saw Hawke cleaning.

"What time is it?"

"It's already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, you idiot, get out of here quickly. If you get drunk again next time, I will throw you directly into the garbage dump in the back street."

Niya sat at the bar with a smile, leaned over and took out a can of cold beer from it. After drinking it all in one go, she stretched her limbs comfortably.

Then Niya took out her mobile phone, paid Hawke 100 yuan, took some dried meat, put it in her mouth and chewed it, and planned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Continue to investigate."

Hawke grabbed Niya.

"Don't get involved in this matter anymore."

Niya shook Hawke's hand off.

"I know my limits."

Looking at Nia leaving, Hawke shook his head with a serious expression. Nia is very similar to her sister Alpha, especially in stubbornness, but Nia is really not as smart as Alpha, including the ability to handle things.

It's just that Nia has a little advantage that Alpha doesn't have. Hawke discovered this after contacting Nia many times. Nia's heart is much stronger than Alpha.

Walking on the street under the scorching sun, Nia was holding a hamburger in her hand, eating while walking, with a cigarette in her left hand. When she woke up this morning, Nia remembered something and now it is necessary to confirm it.

Zhang Qian's son once contacted her when she was following Zhang Qian. At that time, Nia casually went up to talk to her and pretended to ask for directions. The 8-year-old child was very lively at first, but the moment he saw his mother, his eyes and face changed, and he seemed to be a little afraid of his mother.

Although this is just a little bit of Nia's intuition, based on Nia's own experience in the past, a child so old is afraid of his mother, which Nia can't understand.

Soon Niya came to the school where Zhang Qian's son was studying. The school would be over at 5 o'clock. Niya planned to wait outside the school for Zhang Qian's son to come out, and then go directly to ask. Niya didn't like this kind of roundabout investigation method. If you have any questions, just ask directly.

Niya found a drink shop opposite the school and sat down, and then waited. After two long hours, the school was over. Niya got up and ran over immediately. Soon she saw a child talking and laughing with his classmates. Niya followed him quickly.

"Hey, do you still remember me, little friend?"

Niya didn't beat around the bush and went straight over. Zhang Qian's son looked at Niya in confusion, but soon smiled and nodded.

"You are the sister who asked me for directions before."

After a while, Niya took Zhang Qian's son to a snack bar and got him some snacks.

"Thank you, sister!"

Zhang Qian's son looked at the tattoo on Niya's arm from time to time, and asked with some envy.

"Sister, you are from the Lightning Skeleton Guild!"

Niya hummed, and after the things were brought up, Niya spoke directly.

"Today, I just want to ask you about your mother."

As soon as Niya opened her mouth, Zhang Qian's son's face suddenly changed.

"Nothing, I just want to ask you, what are you afraid of?"

Zhang Qian's son shook his head, lowered his head, and put down the things in his mouth.

"If there is anything, you can tell me, I can help you."

Zhang Qian's son turned his head blankly, then immediately stood up awkwardly, said thank you again, turned around and left the store, Niya could only chase him, but she disappeared.

After a while, Niya followed the child to the garden behind the apartment building. Many children were waiting for their parents to get off work here, and Zhang Qian's son was the same. Niya just waited quietly by the side.

More than ten minutes after the sun went out, Zhang Qian came back. As soon as she saw Zhang Qian, her son greeted her with a smile on her face. The mother and son looked happy. Niya became suspicious, and for a moment she thought of Zhang Qian before. Due to her son's weird behavior, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it. After watching the mother and son return home talking and laughing, Niya could only stand downstairs and watch quietly.

An indescribable strange feeling lingered in Niya's heart. Then Niya found a bench in the park and sat down. While eating, she looked at various investigation reports within the guild, but there was no Any harvest day.

Didi didi

"What's wrong?"

"We have planned to officially stop investigating Niya."

As soon as Olivia finished speaking, Nia said angrily.

"What's the meaning?"

"If this continues, everyone's life will have problems. We have been investigating for three months, and no one has any income for three months!"

Niya held the phone tightly and was speechless for a moment. She had no way to direct everyone to investigate this bombing case for free, and she didn't know when the results would be obtained.

Especially for such a time-consuming case, Niya knew very well that everyone had been exhausted in the past few months, including herself. She had no income for several months, and most of the money she spent was given by her mother. my own.

"It's okay if you want to investigate alone. We will also collect all useful information during our work."

"I know."

Niya said and hung up the phone. She bit a cigarette helplessly and looked up at the neon buildings in the distance with a dull expression.

At this time, Niya noticed the apartment building in the distance. Zhang Qian's son ran out from the back door. He looked around, carrying something in his hand, and then ran quickly. Niya walked away. Zhang Qian's son is at least 500 meters away, but she is a mutant and can see clearly.

Niya stood up immediately and fell into the invisible state. She quickly followed.

Zhang Qian's son walked directly through the park, then bypassed a community and entered an old city. He soon disappeared into an alley. Niya stared at Zhang Qian's son quietly. He seemed to be waiting for someone. , no one would notice such a child in such a chaotic street.

Soon Niya noticed a strange movement in the air. It was a mutant. Niya clenched her fists. At this time, in front of Zhang Qian's son, a man wearing a large hoodie appeared. He held something in his hand. The thing was handed to Zhang Qian's son. The child immediately put the thing into his schoolbag, turned around and ran quickly.

Niya was far away. She watched Zhang Qian's son run out. After hesitation, Niya grabbed Zhang Qian's son. In an instant, Zhang Qian's son was startled.

"What's inside?"

While asking, Niya had already opened Zhang Qian's son's schoolbag and took out a lumpy metal object from it. Niya's eyes widened, and Zhang Qian's son looked at Niya in horror.

Whoosh

Along with a violent sound of breaking through the air, Niya jumped back. The man in the hoodie snatched away the metal object in an instant, and then bowed down.

"You bastard, you're looking for death!"

Niya was instantly ejected in front of the mutant who was about to take off, and her fist had already been smashed. Their eyes met for a moment. Niya's fist was blocked by the opponent's arm, and red particles were floating in the air.

"It's you!"

For a moment, Niya's eyes widened in anger. The moment the opponent slid out, she had already pursued him again, and punched him with both fists wildly. Although Niya had never seen this man with a square face and a tattoo on his cheek, she Niya will never forget these eyes.

boom

Andur grabbed Niya's fist, making a crunching sound, and the two telekinesis forces collided in the air.

"You bastard of the Hillman family! Long time no see, I didn't expect you to still be alive!"

Andur was a little panicked at this time. He had been exposed, but now he had to escape.

The street suddenly became chaotic due to the fight between the two. At this time, Niya felt something on the side. She subconsciously avoided it, but the other party had jumped up and left very quickly. Niya pressed For some reason, there was nothing on the side of her forehead, but Niya instinctively felt that someone was attacking her from the side.

A streak of purple particles floated out from the back of Niya's head, and then gradually disappeared into the air. Niya jumped to the roof, and the mutant could no longer be seen.

Niya immediately took out the phone, but the next second, Niya felt something strange. She looked at Zhang Qian's son who was already frightened and overwhelmed.

Niya knew very well that once the call was made, Zhang Qian's family would be doomed.

"I can only solve it independently."

Niya took out a cigarette angrily, lit it and took a puff, then fell to the ground, pulled up Zhang Qian's son, and quickly took him away from the crowd of onlookers. before people come over.

Within a few minutes, Niya returned to the park with Zhang Qian's son. The child was already pale with fear.

"Tell sister, what exactly did your mother ask you to do?"

Zhang Qian's son shook his head silently, as if he had done something wrong. Niya clenched her fists angrily, and waves of anger kept rising from the bottom of her heart.

After hesitating, Niya decided to handle the matter alone. She didn't intend to let others handle it because that guy killed Grace. Niya trembled with anger, and red particles kept emerging.

However, at this time, on the top of a building opposite the apartment building, Ran Zhi looked at Niya silently, Tom stared at her with a serious face, and Andur sat aside with a guilty look.

"She shouldn't notify anyone."

Ran Zhi said, Andur looked at Ran Zhi in confusion, and he laughed.

"After all, that girl is as stubborn as her sister, and you are her enemy. She will definitely want to catch you independently. The most important thing is that she will definitely sympathize with Zhang Qian's experience."

Ran Zhi said with a smile.

"It's only 4 at most. We must solve the matter. That stupid girl will definitely be exposed."

"Any plan, wise man?"

Andur asked, and Ran Zhi nodded.

"The plan is actually very simple. Just let her chase you, and the final outcome is that nothing can be caught. People with obsessions are very scary and also very stupid."

Ran Zhi clenched his fists, and Andur stood up.

"We must act quickly. After all, this matter may not be left unresolved. You will definitely be exposed, and before being exposed, we have to destroy most of the evidence."

Thom nodded in understanding.

"You mean the mother and son!"

Ran Zhi nodded.

"This is necessary. Only the dead will not speak. Listen carefully Andur. Everything that comes next is crucial to you and to our future plans. You must be patient. Do you understand!"

Andur hummed.

"How did you feel about the fight just now?"

Ran Zhi asked, and Andur said with a smile.

"That girl is not my opponent!"
