American comic Gotham, the sheriff of Arkham

Chapter 16: Suturing the Corpse

As soon as Naegi arrived at the sewage treatment plant, Bastian in his pocket jumped out, landed on the ground and ran towards the sewer.

Miao Mu followed behind and looked around. There were fewer homeless people before, but now there are some new faces.

The homeless people looked at Miaomu's black police uniform and shrank into the shadow of the iron frame with some fear.

"came back."

Otis, who was sitting in the sewer, looked at Bastis who was running over, smiled and touched its fur.

"What body was found?" Miao Mu asked as he walked over.

Seeing Miaomu, Otis quickly stood up and pointed inside the sewer and said, "I found it on the filter net of the second-floor sewer. It took a little effort to get it out."

Miao Mu looked at Otis's haggard look, patted him on the shoulder, and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay. By the way, I'll return your gun. I encountered something running very fast on the road and used a few bullets on it."

Otis hurriedly handed the Glock 17 pistol to Naegi, who waved his hand.

"No need. This gun is for you to use for self-defense. By the way, what did you encounter?" Miao Mu asked curiously, glancing at Otis' shoulder, which was still wrapped in a bandage.

"I don't know, but it wasn't a mouse. It moved very quickly, like a ball, and it cut me."

Otis recalled the thing he encountered in the sewer, shook his head, and put the Glock pistol away.

"By the way, I went to the police station but couldn't find you, so I asked Bastian to look for you. Did something happen to you?"

"Haha, it's nothing. I just got cheated by someone. I'll get it back later. I'm not that mean."

Naegi replied with a smile, and without any explanation, he walked into the sewer, with Otis following behind.

There was a peculiar stench floating in the sewer, not the stench of sewage, but the smell of decay.

Not long after walking, Miaomu saw the body that Otis had mentioned. There was a lantern hanging next to it. Under the light, the body looked very large, like a mountain of flesh.

Just one look at it made Naegi's stomach churn, but unfortunately there was nothing in his stomach to vomit out.

The body turned white and swollen in the water, and it looked like a giant. The body hit the filter net of the sewer, and the soaked flesh was squeezed into pieces like tofu by the filter net.

There was also a rotten smell that was very pungent.

Miao Mu raised his hands to cover his nose and mouth, frowning as he looked at the pieced-together body. Yes! Piece-together.

The corpse had four hands and three legs, and its face, swollen and deformed by blisters, was sewn with several pieces of skin, as if several people's faces were sewn into one.

The stitches on the body were tightly squeezed inside due to the expansion of the flesh, just like a patched rag doll.

"Pervert..." Naegi said with a frown.

"The murderer has not been found. There are many places in the sewers that even rats dare not go to, but it should be in the Arkham District. I found some things. Look."

Otis walked to the wall and picked up a bag from the shadows. He held it over to the lantern and opened it. Inside was a pile of saws, drill bits, and sewing wire.

Without exception, they were all stained with dried blood.

Miaomu looked at the things inside, bent down and picked up a small stainless steel hand saw, which was used to saw bones.

After thinking for a while, Miaomu threw the saw in.

"Call the police and leave the body to them."

"what?"

Otis looked at Naegi with some surprise, as if asking why he called the police if he was a policeman.

"I was suspended from work, and I just called the police to let someone else investigate."

Miao Mu clapped his hands and looked outside the sewer, the only bright spot in the dark sewer, and asked curiously:

“I see a lot more homeless people outside.”

"Indeed, I gave them some money before. They all became homeless due to some reasons. Many of them returned home after getting the money, but..."

Otis smiled somewhat bitterly, "There are still many people who are homeless and have no choice but to stay here."

Miao Mu nodded silently, turned to look at Otis, and asked: "What about you? Do you have any ideas?"

Otis shook his head. He had no idea about anything and no goals or direction when he came out of Blackgate Prison.

If he hadn't met Naegi, he would have collapsed long ago.

“It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Instead of giving them money, you should help them build something so that they can survive here with their own abilities.”

Otis looked at Naegi, not quite understanding what he meant, but he believed what Naegi said.

Miao Mu smiled and said, "Let's go, let's call the police first."

Two police officers were holding cameras and taking pictures of the stitched body. The Arkham police response time was still very fast.

It arrived in less than ten minutes.

However, when Ma Yisi, who was in charge of the police response, saw the person who called the police, his face turned as black and smelly as a donkey's, but he did not say any bad words to Miaomu and the others.

Some rumors about the Red Hood robbery that occurred in the Costley area were also circulating in the police circle, and Mayis had a general idea of ​​it.

A police car in Arkham district that was riddled with bullet holes was also fished out of the Gotham River. Although the rumors were somewhat false, Mays no longer had the heart to curse.

As for the two people who went to chase the Red Hood gang, they stopped the other side's bus, killed two people and captured one alive.

Haha...this joke is really not funny.

"How was the body found?" Ma Yisi pinched his nose, stood beside the car, and looked at the body from a distance.

The two policemen who took the photo were vomiting all over the place. Looking at their appearance, I'm afraid they will have nightmares at night.

Miao Mu stood nearby with his arms folded, and said nonchalantly: "A local homeless man called the police. He was washed up from the sewer."

"..."

Mais frowned and squinted at Naegi, "Why are you here?"

"I was suspended from work and was chatting with my friends here, and I found out. What's wrong? Do you suspect I did it?"

Naegi asked, tilting his head.

"...No." Mais said with a dark face.

"What should we do with the body? Should we call a forensic doctor to check it out?" Miao Mu continued to ask.

Ma Yisi looked at Naegi like an idiot. Forensic doctor? Do they have that kind of thing in the Arkham branch?

And is this monster human?

But after thinking about it, Ma Yisi opened the door of the police car, got in, lowered the window and waved to Miaomu.

Miao Mu turned his head and looked around, as if Ma Yisi was not greeting him.

The corner of Ma Yisi's eye twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Come here! I'm calling you!"

"Mr. Officer, what can I do for you? I am just an ordinary citizen during my suspension."

Miao Mu walked over and teased with a slight smile.

Ma Yisi stared at him and pointed at the body pulled out of the sewer. "You are now suspended. You are responsible for keeping an eye on this body. I will report to the director. If it is appropriate, a car will come to take the body away."

"Sorry, I refuse."

The smile on Naegi's face disappeared and he said with a cold expression.

"Why?" Mais asked puzzled.

"The person who found this body is in our Arkham District. Someone might come here to kill and silence the witnesses. Look at me, look at them, and who knows what will happen."

As Miao Mu spoke, he pointed at himself and the two police officers who were vomiting at the water pipe. His words made Ma Yisi feel a chill down his spine.

"Chop off the hands and feet and sew them together like a rag doll. I don't want to face such a lunatic. I will die!"

Miaomu shouted in shock, frightening Ma Yisi.

"What do you want?"
