The Scavengers

Before 6:16 on June 13

Xiao Mo really wanted to bring the child over to teach him a lesson.

After the police officer left, Xiao Mo was just about to close the door and go up to the second floor, when a group of neighbors who had been poking around the door squeezed in immediately, asking Xiao Mo if he knew anything, and some of them saw the boy entering before he was hit by a car. Xiao Mo's shop.

Xiao Mo glanced at the surveillance screen, and found that the child was sitting on the ground on the second floor, and seemed to be assembling something in his hands.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Mo hurried upstairs.He is not afraid of children playing with his things, but he is afraid of children getting hurt. There are many dangerous things on the second floor, and children have no adults to watch them. Once something happens in his shop, he will definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

The neighbors who squeezed in made Xiao Mo busy with him, and six or seven people casually pulled over the folding chairs leaning against the corner, stood or sat, and chatted among themselves.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Mo moved closer to the child.

The child didn't look up, "Working part-time."

"Huh?" Why couldn't he understand what the kid was saying?

The child ignored him, and his small hands took out all kinds of normal or abnormal tools from the backpack that he carried with him, and assembled a Transformers alarm clock that was about to be formed in his hand extremely dexterously and skillfully.

"Okay, it's done! I don't have the right tools, so I can only install some simple ones for you, but they are definitely worth 50 yuan. Now can you give me that charger?" The child put the assembled deformed alarm clock Handed it to Xiao Mo, put away the tools and some extra parts, and got up from the ground by himself.As for the plastic case of the alarm clock, he threw it on the ground.

Xiao Mo didn't speak, and first took a closer look at the transforming alarm clock in his hand. If he read correctly, this transforming alarm clock is a combination of a Transformer that looks [-]% new but can no longer transform, and a most ordinary small alarm clock. made.

"This alarm clock can be transformed, and I don't have time to make it too complicated for you. When you transform it into a human shape, the alarm clock can only be displayed on the chest, and when it becomes a car, it can be displayed on the top."

Xiao Mo fiddled with it a few times, and it really did exactly what the child said.

drink!Just a short time ago, the child transformed the Transformer, which was originally incapable of deformation, into one that not only can be transformed smoothly, but also has a clock function.

Prodigy?

Xiao Mo looked at the child.

The child's expression remained the same, and he even winked at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo felt that he was worrying in vain just now, this brat didn't look like he was affected, probably he was too young to understand what death meant?

Since the child was not affected, Xiao Mo didn't want to make him think about it, scratched his head, thought for three seconds, then put the deformed alarm clock on the shelf, without saying a word, just hugged the child to Go downstairs.

No matter what the kid's background is and what his plans are when he comes to his shop, now he can only take one step at a time.I hope it's not some despicable adults who want to use children to do something, if that's the case, he will never spare those people!

The stinky kid was very strange, he didn't even struggle when he was picked up, not only let Xiao Mo carry him down, but also put his arms around Xiao Mo's neck.

"Boss Xiao, whose child is this?" Seeing Xiao Mo carrying the child into the counter, the curious neighbor asked casually.

"A friend." Xiao Mo said vaguely.Turn on the computer game and pour a glass of water for the child.

The child closed the game page with contempt, first checked the computer configuration and various additional hardware and software devices, then opened the command box, and entered a lot of commands that Xiao Mo couldn't understand.

Xiao Mo sighed and let him go.Turning around and stepping out of the counter to deal with his curious neighbors.

The child's sense of existence seemed to be extremely weak. He was sitting there, but he didn't arouse the interest of the neighbors. As for the question the clothing store proprietress just asked, everyone stopped caring about the child and only asked the traffic police to Xiao Mo. What's going on in the store, do you know something.

In a few words, Xiao Mo explained clearly how the child went to his store to buy a watermelon knife but was rejected by him.

The neighbors were dissatisfied, and asked him some random questions, such as the child's expression at the time, the tone of his voice, and how he reacted when he refused to sell the knife. He was more like a criminal police than a criminal policeman.

Just when Xiao Mo couldn't bear these problems and wanted to chase her away, the cell phone of a girl from the barber shop in the neighborhood rang, she ran out to answer the phone, and ran in after a while and shouted excitedly:

"It's terrible! Something big happened!"

"What's the matter?" Everyone asked curiously.

The kid continued to play with his computer without looking up.

Xiao Mo looked at these people with a bitter face, it seemed that he would not even think about doing business this afternoon.

"The child who was hit to death, his parents are also dead!"

"Ah?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Xiao Zhang, tell me what's going on?"

Xiao Mo was also shocked by the news.

"Didn't any of the people who watched the fun know the kid? I heard that the kid lives in Xinxin Jiayuan behind the park across the street from us. She works in a machinery factory in Yuanyuan. My mother is also surnamed Liu, and she works in the Haomeiduo supermarket in Xinxinjiayuan." The barber shop girl probably rarely gets so much attention, her face flushes with excitement, and her speech is surprisingly fast.

"Xiao Zhang, speak slowly."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Xiao Zhang slowed down his speech, "By the way, I heard from my friend that the child's grandparents are still alive, but they don't live with them. Also, I heard that their house was demolished and divided. There are four suites, one of which was sold a while ago, and the living conditions of the family are pretty good."

listen!This information is fully collected.To be honest, Xiao Mo admires these three aunts, six wives, seven men and eight men, as long as you chat with them for a while, you will find that even the special investigators of the National Security Bureau are not as good as them.

"Ding, the recovery training program is complete. Please accept the first recovery task of the first level, the new scavenger Xiao Mo. Task content: Before 23:45 midnight at China Standard Time today, recover Liu Wang and Liu Yan. If the task fails, you will accept Punishment, success will be rewarded."

Xiao Mo turned his head suddenly, there was no one else at the counter.

So who is talking to him?

The rigid and cold voice continued: "Guidance for the new scavenger, if necessary, you can call out the mission target map guide, as well as the detailed introduction of the mission. It's over."

Xiao Mo pressed his ear with his palm, could it be that his otitis media has recurred?This time it was so serious that I heard auditory hallucinations twice?

Otherwise, how could there be some recovery training system that allowed him to recover Liu Wang and his wife?Reclaim the body?

Xiao Mo laughed.Although he was puzzled, he didn't take this matter seriously.The main reason is that there are too many people now, and it is difficult for him to do or say something in particular.

Xiao Zhang continued: "Someone knew the child's family just now, but they couldn't contact his parents, so they ran directly to his house with the traffic police, but no one opened the door, and they looked for the child's grandparents, so they dare not tell his grandparents What happened, they were only asked to contact the child's parents, but it was said that they couldn't get in touch, and then the child's grandparents took the keys to their house to open the door. Open the door..."

Xiao Zhang began to whet everyone's appetite.

"Find out that his parents are dead?" The person who answered the call was the owner of the hardware store, a middle-aged man with a bald head, surnamed Yin.

Xiao Zhang was a little annoyed at first when someone answered the call, so it was fine if it was Boss Yin, but he still gave him a ginkgo eye.

"I heard from my friend that I didn't feel it through the door at that time, but when I opened the door, I smelled a strong stench. The police and traffic police who came at that time refused to let everyone in, and drove away everyone who followed. .”

"Just a bad smell? Didn't see any dead people? Then how can you be sure that someone died? Or are both husband and wife dead?" Xiao Mo interjected and asked.

Xiao Zhang saw that it was Xiao Mo who was asking the question, and his voice immediately softened three points, "My friend said that someone was guarding the door all the time, and later I heard the child's grandparents crying loudly inside the house, calling for their son, daughter-in-law and so on. I only guessed that the parents of the child should be dead."

Xiao Zhou, the barber who came with Xiao Zhang, glared at Xiao Mo unhappily.Hmph, an old man, don't think that having a house and a car can make old cows eat tender grass!

"Do you know how he died?" Xiao Mo asked without paying attention to Xiao Zhou's gaze.

Everyone is also very curious about this.

It's a pity, Xiao Zhang shook his head, "My friend hasn't found out yet. I heard that the body hasn't been shipped out yet. When he called me just now, the forensic doctor just arrived."

"Oh, what a crime, what a nice family." A young couple who opened a clothing store both sighed.

"That's right, why is it so good, the whole family is dead?"

"Let me tell you," the female owner of the milk tea shop lowered her voice mysteriously, "I heard that when the child was hit by a car, several people saw it, and some of them said that the child was hit on purpose."

"Really? How could you be so young..." Boss Yin didn't believe it.

"Do you think it will be..." Everyone made several guesses in one breath.

"No way? These speculations are too bloody!" Xiao Zhang refused to accept these claims.

"What is impossible? Is there anything impossible in this society now?"

Everyone was chattering, each guessing the real reason for the death of three members of this family.

Xiao Mo has been silent since he asked the question just now. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the child's abnormally red eyes.

Finally, the neighbors who had enough gossip left contentedly, and Xiao Mo didn't have the energy to continue the business, so he closed the store directly.

He felt very sorry for the middle school student and his family, but they were not related to him after all, so he let it go with a few sighs.

The others also had the same thought as Xiao Mo, thinking that this matter just passed away.

"What should come will always come, and you can't escape even if you want to."

"What?" Xiao Mo closed the shutter door and turned around.Was that what the child said just now?

"Brother, I've changed my mind. How about adopting me? I'm very capable." The child poked his head out from behind the computer screen.

"..."

At the same time, the third floor of a residential building in Xinxin Jiayuan.

Originally planning to contact the parents of the child who was hit, all the traffic police who were in the traffic accident were withdrawn and replaced by criminal police with live ammunition.

"The special transport vehicle will arrive later. According to your instructions, six special police officers will escort the vehicle." Wang Cheng walked to the forensic doctor Qian Yunkai and said in a low voice.

Qian Yunkai frowned like Chuanzi, and forbade other criminal policemen from approaching the two tied up in the bedroom.

"What's the matter with Liu Wang and his wife? They look like... do they have some kind of infectious disease?" Wang Cheng, who was wearing a mask, went around and couldn't help asking Qian Yunkai.

"do not know."

"You are the most powerful forensic doctor in our city, don't you know?"

"It's the first time I've seen this kind of disease." Qian Yunkai tentatively stepped forward to take pictures of the couple.

The flash went off, causing the couple to struggle.

"Heh, this is pretty tight, although the technique is unprofessional. Yunkai, who do you think this couple was tied to a chair and gagged?"

"His son." Qian Yunkai calculated that it was almost time, put down the camera, and turned to look at the test results he had just done.

Wang Cheng was startled, "How do you know?"

"Guess."

"..." Wang Cheng rubbed his covered nose, not daring to tease Qian Daforensic doctor any more, and instead carefully looked at the bound Liu couple.

I saw that the two people were swollen all over, like corpses soaked in water for three days. If Liu Wang's parents hadn't identified them, no one would be sure that they were really Liu Wang and his wife.

If it was just swollen, it might not be called terrible, and it wouldn't make Qian Da's forensic doctor frown like that.

In addition to swelling on the surface of the couple's body, huge yellow pustules appeared on the skin.

Most of these pustules were located on the lower body, but some developed on the abdomen and back.

The pustules haven't broken yet, which is why the criminal police and the forensic doctor dare to stand in this house.

But the stench coming from the two of them was already similar to that of a dead person who had been dead for a few days. If the air conditioner hadn't been turned on in the room, the weather in mid-June would definitely have spilled outside.

The couple were strapped back to back to two armchairs.

Judging from the strangle marks on their bodies, they have been bound for at least a day or so.

According to Qian Da's forensic doctor, there were not many signs of struggle and friction on the couple's bodies, and the binding should have been performed voluntarily.

Just why gag?Are you afraid they will call for help?But if he was bound voluntarily, why did he call for help?If he called for help, how could he be tied up voluntarily?

Doubt [-], why didn't they send them to the hospital like this?Where are the people who bound them?Is it really their son?That is, the young Liu Yu who didn't know whether he committed suicide or was hit to death?Does Liu Yu know anything?

Question [-]: Why didn't Qian Da's forensic doctor let him remove the blockage in the mouths of Mrs. Liu and his wife?Maybe all the answers are in the mouths of the couple.

Wang Cheng was puzzled and could only wait silently with his colleagues for the arrival of the special transport vehicle.

"Wang Dui, do you feel that the room is getting more and more stinky? Can we go out and wait?" Interpol Xiaolei covered his nose.

Before Wang Cheng answered, Qian Yunkai raised his head when he heard the question, "No! Those who have already entered are not allowed to go out! Xiao Chen, call the disease center and ask them to send two closed cars. Hurry up." !"

Assistant Xiao Chen was frightened, and quickly took out his mobile phone to make a call.

The other detectives were also taken aback, especially Xiaolei, whose expression changed at the time, "Forensic Doctor Qian, don't scare me, what disease do these two people have? We won't be infected too, right?"

Qian Yunkai didn't answer, but just nervously stared at the simple detection tool in his hand, waiting for the result to appear.

The result came out, Qian Yunkai looked at it for a while, then slowly closed his eyes...

"Yun Kai?" Wang Cheng took a step closer to him.

Qian Yunkai took a deep breath and opened his eyes, "You can inform the special transport vehicle and the special police not to come."

Wang Cheng frowned, listening to Yun Kai's tone, he didn't think it was a good thing, on the contrary...

Qian Yunkai turned to all the criminal policemen present and his assistant, Xiao Chen, and said, "My test told me that the Lius and his wife should be suffering from metal poisoning, but you have also seen that, except for the fact that the oral cavity cannot be checked for the time being, the couple is now suffering from metal poisoning. The pathological features manifested on the body are quite different from those of metal poisoning.

And according to my test results, the metal content in the bodies of the couple has already exceeded the standard.No, it should be said that any ordinary human with such a large amount and variety of metals in his body should have died seven or eight times long ago. "

After listening to Qian Yunkai's explanation, instead of being nervous, everyone let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was just metal poisoning, and it was okay.Only Wang Cheng looked at Qian Yunkai frowning, waiting for his next words.

"But……"

Wang Cheng looked at the sky, thinking that I knew you would have a big turning point.

"I hate it." An older detective murmured.

"Me too." Xiaolei said with a sad face.

Everyone nodded with sympathy.

But what should be said is still to be said, Qian Yunkai looked around at the six colleagues who were staying in the room, and said very apologetically: "I just did a test for myself just now."

Wang Cheng and all his colleagues felt a sense of fear.

"Unfortunately, in this short period of one hour, the metal content in my body also exceeded the standard." Sighing, Qian Yunkai continued: "Although it has not reached the level in the body of a couple, it is not something that healthy people can have. Yes. And I can say with certainty that an hour ago, the metal content in my body was absolutely at a reasonable value."

The assistant Xiao Chen asked Qian Yunkai with his mobile phone, "Mr. Qian, Director Qian of the Disease Center wants to talk to you personally."

Qian Yun paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand, "Give me the phone. Also, Xiao Chen, please do a simple metal content test for everyone."

"Yes."

Xiao Chen conducted metal content tests for the criminal police, including himself, while Qian Yunkai explained the situation of Liu and his wife and his judgment with the department heads of the disease center.

In the end, the test results came out, and as Qian Yunkai expected, the metal content of all the people present exceeded the standard.

Qian Yunkai was silent for a while, and then said to the person on the other side of the phone: "It is suspected that there are at least two ways of infection, contact infection, and airborne transmission."

A gasped voice came from the other side of the phone, "Are you sure the air can also spread?"

"We had a total of eight colleagues here, two of whom were guarding outside the house and six of them inside. Only Xiao Chen and I came into contact with Mrs. Liu and his wife, but according to the test results so far, the other four colleagues who have not come into contact with the patient There was also metal poisoning.”

"..." The other side was silent.

"So now I suggest," Qian Yunkai said slowly, "Immediately send someone to test all the residents of Xinxinjiayuan Building [-], Liu's parents, and randomly check one hundred other residents of Xinxinjiayuan. As far as the scope of the virus spreads, the whole territory of the area shall be closed and isolated until we find out the cause of the disease, the source of infection, and the treatment method.”

"Okay, I will send out immediately..."

"It's broken!" Qian Yunkai's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head and said anxiously to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, you should immediately have the young man's body under control, just say what I asked, and let the morgue be sealed for storage. And all colleagues who have been in contact with the juvenile are temporarily isolated, don't tell them the reason."

Wang Cheng's face also became very ugly, "But apart from people from our lineage, there were quite a few ordinary people who came into contact with young people at that time."

Qian Yunkai squeezed the palm of his hand tightly, took the mobile phone and hurriedly explained to the opposite party about the boy who was killed, focusing on the relationship between the boy and the Liu couple, as well as the boy's strange behavior.

Wang Cheng was also busy calling the bureau, and this matter became more and more troublesome.

After Qian Yunkai explained the boy's affairs, he hesitated for nearly ten seconds before saying, "I personally suggest that the incident be upgraded to a red alert."

"Red? This... I need to have a meeting with the relevant personnel first."

"Dad, I can't wait for this!"

"I know, give me 5 minutes. You can send the test results to a computer immediately. The more detailed the data, the better."

"learn!"

Hearing Qian Yunkai spit out the words "red alert", everyone present knew that trouble was serious!

the other side.

After brewing and brewing, Xiao Mo, who was about to ask the child about his details, suddenly shuddered.

The child looked up at him.

"It seems a little cold, maybe the air conditioner is turned too low."

"Cold? Don't you think summer came early this year, and it's hotter than usual? It's only June and it's 36 or [-] degrees!"

"Hiss, but I really feel cold, you can see my goosebumps popping out."

The child poked the small particles that emerged from the surface of the skin with his hand, and pinched them with his little fingernails.

"Hey, hey! Let me show you but I didn't ask you to pinch it. You don't hurt, I hurt!" Xiao Mo lifted the little paw that didn't know how heavy it was, and rubbed his arms to increase the temperature of the air conditioner.

The child tilted his head, rubbed his fingers, put them under his nose and sniffed again, his face was a bit puzzled, and he looked at Xiao Mo's back with an indescribably strange gaze. Suddenly, the child's With a raised brow, he ordered:

"Hey, let me see your eyes!"
