Dragon's Companion

The main brain was damaged, and even the central chip that stored information inside was also missing.

Could it be that Jiang Jiyao found something during the search in the main brain room, and the murderer was so eager to attack him, and then took away the chip?

Thinking of this, Luo An hurriedly took out a bag of Jiang Jiyao's belongings that Jiang Chen handed over to him yesterday. It contained a communicator, an optical computer, a signature pen, a water cup, an epaulet, a work permit, a wedding ring, and There is a torn uniform recovered from the scene.

It should be that after the mutant was dug up, he couldn't maintain his human form, and when he turned into a dragon, his clothes were torn apart.

The entire uniform was almost beyond recognition, a pile of debris was swept out and put into a sealed bag, and some dust could still be seen on it.

Luo An picked up the sealed bag and looked at the black and white uniform of the Ministry of Justice. Unfortunately, I don't know if I can see him wearing it in the future.

However, in the next second, he suddenly paused his gaze, held the bag close to his eyes, so that it was not obvious, but when facing the sun, he could see that the fabric of a piece of black cloth was reflective, and the uniforms of the Ministry of Justice were all matte. Material, that piece stood out in a pile of non-reflective fabrics.

After discovering this, Luo An quickly found a piece of sterile paper and spread it on the table, opened the sealed bag, and poured out all the debris.

Finally found the reflective black cloth.

He picked it up with tweezers and compared it with other fabrics again, and found that the fibers of the two materials were not the same thickness.

There is a cuff line on it that looks like it was ripped from the collar.

Luo An unfolded the folds in the middle of the cloth, and was pleasantly surprised to find that a corner of the cloth was still stained with a blood spot the size of a thumbnail.

He quickly found the bag and sealed the piece of fabric inside.At the same time, he began to simulate the scene of the crime in his mind.

At that time, the murderer stabbed the knife into the back of Jiang Jiyao's neck. Jiang Jiyao reacted and immediately stretched out his hand to attack him. This blood spot was left because of an injury on his face.

If this is the case, directly extract the DNA of this piece of blood and compare it with the empire's blood base information database, and the real culprit will be found soon.

Luo An took the sample and turned around to leave. Halfway there, he stopped. He looked at the rag in his hand and slowly smiled.

"I found the evidence!"

Luo An took the sealed bag and walked to the office of the Forensic Procuratorate. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to announce the good news.

Liu Xian didn't care, only Shen Du, Yi Wenjie and two security officers, after hearing what he said, they both stood up.

Yi Wenjie looked at the sealed bag in his hand with some doubts: "What is this?"

Luo An: "Yesterday Jiang Chen handed me a bag of Jiang Jiyao's belongings, including a uniform of the Ministry of Justice, but I found a rag in the sealed bag that did not belong to the uniform."

He waved his hand and showed a smile: "And there is a blood spot on it."

The successive accidents had made everyone depressed for a long time, and Luo An's discovery was undoubtedly exciting news.

Yi Wenjie excitedly took the rag from his hand, looked back and forth: "This cloth is really similar to our uniform, Luo An, you are so careful."

Luo An smiled: "That's natural, details determine success or failure."

Speaking of this, he paused: "But I have something to do later, Wen Jie, you and Brother Shen, whoever you have time to help me extract the DNA of the blood stains, if it's not Jiang Jiyao's, then it can only be the murderer Yes, after the results come back, I will apply for a comparison with the blood bank information database, and I will be able to screen out this person soon."

Just as Yi Wenjie was about to nod, Shen Du also came over: "I'll do it. There are still two hours left, and my speed is just enough to catch up before I get off work."

Yi Wenjie knew that Shen Du's anatomy and tests were relatively good, and he was indeed more experienced in operation than himself. Since he said so, he had no choice but to give him the sealed bag: "Okay, I'll give it to you."

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Luo An went out and came back to the underground cold storage. He thought that Shen Du should be doing experiments in the laboratory at this time, but when he entered, the door of the laboratory was open and there was no one there.

And the lights were still on.

Luo An stretched out his hand to turn off the switch, and couldn't help frowning, which obviously didn't conform to Shen Du's habits.

After a while, Yi Wenjie also came in to look for Shen Du, but only Luo An was there, and asked strangely, "Why are you alone, where is Section Chief Shen?"

Luo An: "I just came in too. Brother Shen seems to have just left for something. I'll wait for him here for a while."

Yi Wenjie nodded knowingly, Luo An's eagerness was understandable, after all, it was related to the real culprit of this series of murders, if he could be found this time, it would be regarded as revenge for the boss.

Because they are the same, just now Jiang Chen gave him a serial call and asked him several times if the DNA test report came out.

The two were bored waiting, and they also walked around the underground cold storage to chat. Yi Wenjie has been here longer than him, and has a richer background understanding of many samples than him.

Moreover, Luo An found that although he was usually a dense talker, he explained clearly and logically. He listened carefully to the key points, and his language style was humorous and witty, which made people absorb the information unconsciously after listening to the jokes.

Luo An was a little surprised, but at the same time praised without hesitation: "You are really good at eloquence. If you had hosted the last week's meeting, I would not have fallen asleep."

Yi Wenjie smiled and said modestly: "You're flattering me. In fact, I also practiced it. Before I became a legal prosecutor, I was a former legal consultant. I often had to answer clients' questions, and my words got worn out over time."

"Forensic consultant?" Luo An also knew something about it before, and it seems that the salary is higher than that of the forensic inspector, and there are more subsidies for frequent assignments.

"Then how did you become a forensic inspector later?"

"Oh, forget it."

Yi Wenjie waved his hands helplessly, with a sentimentality that could not be mentioned in the past, looked at the door outside, and said in a low voice: "It's not because of a broken mouth. I used to be outspoken, saying what I thought, and sometimes the speaker had no intention If the listener has a heart, he will offend someone for no reason, catch me and transfer him directly to the Forensic Prosecution Division, and I will do this for three years."

Luo An nodded, thinking to himself that it was true, Yi Wenjie was not a man of wealth, and his words were very secret.

It is easy to be calculated by some people with ulterior motives.

Luo An: "Then do you still want to call back?"

Yi Wenjie immediately shook his head: "I thought about it before, but of course I don't want to now. Everyone is so nice. Is it stupid for me to transfer back and let them bully me?"

Before they knew it, the two of them chatted and walked to the end of the cold storage. Looking at the samples in the No. 0001 freezer, Luo An stopped.

Yi Wenjie also glanced into the freezer: "I brought this sample back from the palace with Section Chief Shen."

"The palace?"

"Ah."

Yi Wenjie recalled carefully: "At that time, there were several samples in that room, and they all deteriorated due to improper handling. This one is not bad, so we brought it back for reference."

If it was brought back from the battlefield or any other place, Luo An might not be so curious, but it happened to be the palace, which has to be thought-provoking.

And not one, but several.

Luo An: "How many were there in the room at the time, can you still recall what those samples were like?"

I didn't expect Luo An to be quite interested in this matter, but it's been too long, and my memory is a little fuzzy.

Yi Wenjie frowned and thought about it for a long time, and finally said uncertainly: "It seems that there are three, one adult male, and two children. One child's stomach was cut open, and the other seemed to be mechanically asphyxiated, with trauma to his head. There are also bruises on the neck."

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo An who was beside him, only to realize that his face was so ugly that he quickly stopped his voice and asked him if he was not feeling well.

Luo An shook his head, his mind suddenly matched what Jiang Jiyao had said.

Ordinary people would instinctively resist corpses, but the Dragon Emperor was able to store them in the palace and admire them all the time. Judging from his vicious and vicious prey when he was young, it is not difficult to guess that the samples were made into people who must have hated him very much.

And the fiancée back then did not hesitate to break the engagement with the prince and marry a slave, which was a great insult to him.

Presumably he also hated this slave to the bone, wishing to eat his flesh and drink his blood to relieve his hatred.

This is easy to check in.

Princess Asa had a slave husband and they had three sons.

If the remains of her husband were stored in No. 0001 freezer, then the two children mentioned by Yi Wenjie are likely to be two of the three children.

Luo An looked at the male corpse in the glass cabinet, with his eyes wide open, looking at the "攵" on his cheekbones, suddenly his heart shivered.

For a slave, perhaps his name is the greatest insult.

Because before the abolition of slavery, slaves who were auctioned were not allowed to have names, and could only be distinguished from other slaves by a one-character code name, and future generations were not allowed to have surnames, and had to be slaves for generations.

If you guessed right, 攵 should be the slave code name of Princess Asa's husband.

Luo An was lost in thought when Yi Wenjie's communicator suddenly rang. He thought it was Jiang Chen who called again to remind him to report. Just as he was about to say that Section Chief Shen was not here, he heard Liu Xianyi's voice.

"Where are you guys? Shen Du was beaten unconscious, and the samples and test results were taken away!"

When the two arrived at the scene, Shen Du was lying on the bed with gauze wrapped around his head and he was still awake.

Seeing that there were a lot of blood stains on the clothes, it must have been severely beaten.

The hard-won evidence was snatched away like this, and everyone's mood fell into an unprecedented loss. It would be fine if there was no hope, but God had to give them hope and then let the hope fail.

There is a huge gap between the excitement of being about to watch the clouds and see the moon, and the disappointment of returning to the pre-liberation overnight.

Luo An knowingly asked: "Still not monitoring?"

The crowd nodded.

Luo An smiled: "It's okay, I can find him without surveillance."

As he spoke, he turned around and told Yi Wenjie: "Notify the entire Ministry of Justice to the conference hall, I have something to say."

The employees who were working were notified and rushed to the conference hall one after another. As soon as they entered the door, Jiang Chen took the scanner and entered the fingerprints to sign in one by one.

After everyone arrived, Luo An glanced at the sign-in record, and then at everyone in the audience, chuckled lightly, and took the megaphone from Jiang Chen: "I checked the sign-in result, and clock in for work today Everyone is here. Very well, then I have one more thing to say."

Luo An took the loudspeaker and walked to the high podium, his eyes circled around the crowds of people below the stage, and finally fixed his eyes on a certain place, saying every word: "The murderer is among you. "

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room was like a duck's nest lit with firecrackers. Everyone subconsciously looked at the people around them, constantly suspicious in their hearts.

What's more, he got up directly, wanting to find an open place to sit far away, in case the murderer would take himself hostage in order to protect himself later.

In the midst of the noise, Luo An just looked at a certain place in the audience and remained silent. After the audience gradually became quiet, he suddenly raised his finger and pointed to someone in the middle: "The person who knocked out Section Chief Shen and snatched the samples and reports Is that you?"

Everyone looked in the direction that Luo An pointed, and found that it was a monitoring administrator of the Supervision Section. He was suddenly identified by Luo An, his face turned pale with fright, he got up and shook his head and said, "It's not me! I was just now In the monitoring room, I have never seen Section Chief Shen!"

Luo An followed the steps, walked to him step by step from the stage, and asked as he walked, "Then why are your hands yellow?"

Hearing what Luo An said, he quickly lowered his head to look, and found that his fingers were stained with a layer of orange, he explained: "This is from eating at noon, what does it have to do with whether I am a murderer or not?"

"Did you eat something?"

Luo An stood in front of him and laughed, even though his face was so glamorous, his hairs stood on end, "Then tell me, what are you having for lunch, is it from the cafeteria or the lunch you brought yourself? I’m from the cafeteria, so I’m going to investigate what dishes can stain your hands like this today, if you brought it yourself, please show me the lunch box, I’ll extract the food waste.”

The young man who was pretending to have an innocent face, was sweating profusely from Luo An's series of questioning.

But Luo An bent down and lowered his head, looking straight into his eyes from below: "Let me tell you, I applied a special powder on the sample belt, as long as it comes in contact with the skin, it will change color."

Speaking of this, he raised the hand holding the young man: "It's this kind of orange. I was looking at you when you stretched out your hand to take your fingerprints just now, did you notice?"

"..."

Luo An threw down his hand, and said to Jiang Chen, "Take him to the interrogation room."

Every time a case happened, the monitoring would fail inexplicably. How could there be such a coincidence, and it should have been suspected that there was an inner ghost.

It's just that people are prone to fall into stereotyped thinking. The victims of the previous digital case also suffered power outages at home every time the case happened.

Let them all get used to thinking that the murderer would destroy the electricity before committing the crime, completely ignoring the fact that someone in the Ministry of Justice may be responsible.

Sitting opposite, Luo An looked at the pale-faced young man in front of him, and passed the water glass in his hand: "I read your information, graduated from Imperial University of Technology, and it is still No.1, and it is not easy to get in. You also know that the Ministry of Justice If you are frank and lenient and resist strict, I will stop playing around in circles, who ordered you?"

The young man glanced at the water glass in front of him, and was silent for a moment: "If you want to extract a confession by torture, hurry up."

Just now when he was identified in the conference hall, he still looked terrified, but when he was taken to the interrogation room, he immediately calmed down.

Facing the row of armed guards behind him, they didn't change their expressions.

Luo An raised his eyebrows: "You are quite loyal."

At this time, a tragic woman's scream suddenly sounded from next door, and the young man who was sitting calmly on the chair suddenly raised his head in surprise, and nervously looked at the wall behind Luo An: "You, you arrested Xiaoxiao too! "

Luo An was noncommittal: "Could it be that you don't know how to listen to yourself?"

Soon there were louder screams from the next door, women's voices were often higher than men's, and the door of the next door was also opened, as if deliberately letting everyone in the corridor hear her screams.

The sharp voice echoed in the empty corridor, as if the walls of the room were shaking with the scream.

The young man gradually grasped the corner of the table, and the restraining ring on his wrist rattled along with his shaking body.

"It's useless for you to catch Xiaoxiao! She has nothing to do with this matter! You let her go!"

Luo An completely ignored his resistance, leaning on his head and laughing: "Isn't the scream of my beloved also very pleasant?"

After speaking, he squinted his eyes and leaned back on the chair comfortably, as if he wanted to use the scream as a lullaby.

The young man glared at him angrily, with cold sweat constantly breaking out on his forehead, and finally a scream from the next room stopped abruptly, and the young man slapped the table: "Let her go! I'll tell you everything I know."

Luo An opened his eyes at once, sat up straight, and felt that he was so happy that his work was over.

Before pushing him into the interrogation room just now, he asked Jiang Chen if he had anyone with whom he had a good relationship in the Ministry of Justice. Unexpectedly, this kid was quite sullen. He had a crush on a female colleague in the same department for half a year and still dared not confess.

With the mentality of giving it a try, he asked them to take him to the next door, and pretended to let out some screams, to try this kid's attitude, but he didn't expect that he really had a deep affection for this girl.

It's a pity that the girl didn't seem to have any thoughts about him. Hearing that it was for interrogating him, and there was a bonus for cooperating, she agreed without saying a word.

This kid is really miserable.

The young man looked at the table, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Let me first explain that I can only tell you what I know, because the organization has rules, everyone is connected to the offline, and no one can leapfrog to the top, so I don't know who the top person is."

Luo An looked at the recording interface on the optical brain screen and rubbed his forehead, and even went online to contact offline, how did it look like a pyramid scheme.

He nodded, indicating to continue.

"My informant is in the Ministry of Justice. We haven't met each other in person. We contact each other in the tea room through a beverage bottle. He will write the task in the packaging of the beverage bottle and throw it into the trash can. I will pick it up again and execute it." The time, place and what to do will be written on it.”

Luo An looked up at him: "Where's the drink bottle?"

Youth: "Put it in water and dissolve it after reading it."

Speaking of this, he added: "I have received it three times in total. The first time was the night the second prince was robbed, the second time was yesterday afternoon, and the other time was just now. But the first two times he just let me Turn off the monitoring at a certain point, only this time it's for me to grab something."

For the convenience of disposal, the garbage in this world is made into materials that are soluble in water. As long as it is put into the recycling water tank, it will automatically dissolve. When the solute is saturated, the system will automatically evaporate and filter the solute inside, and then purify it for recycling.

I didn't expect the other party to take advantage of this.

Next, the young man confessed to the fact that he committed the crime, and also carefully explained what happened at that time, but he didn't mention the organization.

Obviously avoiding it deliberately.

Seeing that he kept talking about other things, Luo An directly interrupted: "Then how many people from your organization do you think there are in the Ministry of Justice?"

The young man's expression froze, and he shook his head after a while: "I don't know."

Seeing the corner of Luo An's mouth twitching, he changed his words nervously: "There should be a few, but I really don't know who they are."

Luo An: "Then why did you join that organization, and what benefits did they give you?"

The youth shook his head: "There is no benefit, everyone joins voluntarily."

Hearing what he said, Luo An couldn't help being a little surprised.

Originally thought it was a reactionary organization that advocated that as long as they could unite to overthrow the royal family, they would promise them prosperity, wealth and rank.

Didn't expect it to be of any benefit.

Then why did they join in one after another, even at the expense of their lives?

It is an eternal truth that people do not destroy themselves.

He didn't believe that without any reason, the murderer let these people sacrifice their lives for him.

Luo An watched the movement of the young man biting his lower lip tightly, as if nervous, but also as if he was restraining himself, not to say anything.

Luo An handed him a cup of hot water again: "Don't be nervous, I think you are still a child who came out of an orphanage. It is not easy for your adoptive parents to raise you so big. Do you want me to arrange for you to be with your family before you go to prison?" See you?"

"No need!" Hearing that he was going to see his adoptive parents, he suddenly became irritable.

Luo An pretended to be surprised: "Why don't you want to see them? I don't think their financial conditions are very good. They still give up everything they have to give you to God. There is no difference between you and your own children. Are you not grateful at all? Or"

There was a slight pause in the voice: "Are you ashamed of them? You know that crimes against the empire are punishable by one sentence. I'm afraid your adoptive father's job will be lost, and your younger brother will not be able to enter the imperial capital's university next year, but you still do this knowing that .”

Luo An stared at his sweaty face: "So why did you join this organization?"

Youth: "I voluntarily."

Luo An: "I ask you why."

Youth: "...no reason."

Luo An smiled and nodded: "It seems that you still want to see your parents. Also, there are some things that are hard to say to outsiders, and you can only speak to your relatives."

Luo An gestured to the jury assistant next to him: "Contact his parents."

"Don't!" The young man resisted directly this time, but his body was fixed on the chair, and as soon as he struggled with his hands, the electric current generated by the restraining ring stinged him for a while.

Looking at the communicator brought by the assistant, he burst into tears: "Don't tell them, I said..."

He tightly grasped the armrest of the chair under him, his hands seemed to be shocked out of control, and kept twitching: "Everyone in that organization has one thing in common, they are all..."

Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot passed over his head, and he saw a black hole in the temple of the young man in front of him, and the bullet passed through his head and directly shattered the glass cabinet opposite.

The young man's head hit the table with a bang, and a deep red pool of blood bloomed under his head.

Luo An quickly stepped back while holding the totem on his wrist, but he didn't expect that the guard who killed the young man with a gun did not attack Luo An, but turned around and aimed the black muzzle at his head.

Then with a bang, he fell to the spot.

Hearing the gunshot, the guards downstairs quickly sent more people in, and Luo An was also escorted out as quickly as possible.

Looking at the guards standing in a circle around him, Luo An was thinking, how many of these people in front of him belong to that organization?

Jiang Chen was shocked when he heard the news. At that time, the minister had told him to take good care of Luo An. Now the minister didn't know when he would be able to recover. If something happened to Luo An again, he didn't know which side to take care of first.

Jiang Chen supported Luo An: "Are you all right?"

Luo An shook his head, recovering from the shock just now, "Quickly check the background of the surveillance administrator who died just now and the guard who committed suicide. I want their personal information right away."

After Jiang Chen responded, he looked back again: "Don't let the guards follow me for now."

It was obvious that killing him was the best choice for the guard just now, but the guard didn't. He killed the young man who wanted to betray the organization, and then committed suicide, but he didn't attack him.

Is his thinking too narrow, or did the people above explain this on purpose?

Including those thugs who sacrificed themselves to protect the second prince, the few seconds that person hesitated when drawing the number 2, and the strange behavior of the guard now.

The murderer seemed to have his own rules while killing people.

He was attacking them, and he was protecting them in a strange way, contradictory, but also true.

Luo An frowned slightly, what exactly did this mean.

……

When he returned to the judicial inspection department, everyone was waiting for him in the office. They were shocked when they heard the gunshots upstairs, but the security department issued a notice, and everyone sealed the doors and windows and stayed where they were. I was worried that I couldn't go up to find Luo An.

Liu Xianyi took Luo An's arm and looked around, "Are you okay? Let people from the Penalty Division interrogate this kind of matter later, and you can just watch it in the monitoring room. How dangerous it is."

Luo An smiled: "It's just as dangerous to let others go. Whoever's life is at stake, I happened to help others test the water."

He glanced at the office and found that Shen Du's seat was still empty, "Brother Shen is still awake?"

Liu Xianyi sighed: "I woke up, but the wound on his head had just been stitched up. The doctor said it's best to rest in bed, so I let him lie down and go home directly. I was just about to pack his things for him when I heard the sound coming from the building. The last shot was fired, and then we were separated here."

As he spoke, he took the bag in his hand and walked over to continue packing.

Shen Du's things are not too many, but sometimes in order to go home and work, he would carry the optical brain back and forth, and there are some literatures he often refers to. This injury probably needs to rest at home for a while. He brought back everything he could use, otherwise he would be embarrassed to ask his colleagues because of his character, and he would have to drive over to get it with his own injuries.

Luo An also went to help, usually he worked with Shen Du for a long time, and he was also familiar with the things he used frequently.

He opened the drawer to look for Shen Du's signature pen, but when he took it out, the cap of the pen caught something, and he brought out a black velvet box.

The lid of the box was not fastened very tightly, and the contents inside were thrown out along with the box body with a clatter.

Luo An quickly bent down to pick it up, but was stunned when he touched it.

A wide ring in ivory with a cutout oriole bird.
