Chapter 441: Dawn Housekeeping

at the same time.

Cangyang City.

Three o'clock in the morning.

"No, not until tomorrow."

Yi Lin called Yuan Zhiye back.

He faintly felt that he was missing something.

In fact, his idea is also very simple to say.

If the "murderer" is divided into two parts, the "perpetrator" and the "murder weapon", only one of them needs to be solved.

Since the perpetrator can't be found, killing his murder weapon can also achieve the goal of stopping this incident.

To put it bluntly, it is to deal with the huge number of leeches that are entrenched and multiplying in the complicated sewers.

The adjective "massive" is used here.

After a full assessment, Yi Lin even thought that the "huge amount" was not enough to describe the horror of the numbers of this group of leeches.

Just like the locust plague in history.

A single locust is just a tiny insect that can be rounded and flattened by hand, and can even be strangled to death by pulling out its intestines and tying a bow around its neck.

But once the locusts have formed a certain magnitude, it becomes a disaster.

Wherever the plague of locusts passes, not an inch of land is left.

So is this leech.

Not to mention the leech army controlled by someone behind the scenes.

The night is still long.

Yi Lin couldn't imagine how many innocent people would die if she waited until dawn.

Although Yi Lin was reborn, she never put herself in the position of the savior.

He admits that he has a selfish side.

Yi Lin is just trying to find a way so that she and the people around her can live to the end and witness another completely different future.

But at this point, with the ability to intervene, watching countless innocent ordinary people die, Yi Lin's conscience seems to be a little bit off.

Every apostle seems to go through a process of mentality transformation.

After going through cruel trials again and again, visiting strange and strange worlds, climbing out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the longer the apostles live, in this repeated "time travel", will gradually put themselves in the world. "Ordinary people" are the very different opposites.

Perhaps it is not accurate to say "opposite".

But "apostles" and "human beings" have long been unable to be placed on both sides of the balance.

Accustomed to seeing life and death, disregarding life, this is the mentality of every apostle in the later period.

So is Erin.

undeniable.

In one case after another, the life and death of ordinary people who had nothing to do with him could not cause Yi Lin to have too violent mood swings.

Speaking of which, creatures like "apostles" are like deliberately trained "soldiers", a product of tragedy.

but--

Yuan Zhiye was a little worried: "But there's so much movement in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it can't be covered up."

"No way, that's Zhao Yulong's headache. What does it have to do with me?" Yi Lin waved her hands without any psychological burden, dispelling Yuan Zhiye's worries: "Besides, just say that there are parasites in the sewer. Just come to help clean up the parasites. Believe it or not, it's their business, and Zhao Yulong will be responsible for all consequences."

Wang Bing: "..."

Yuan Zhiye: "..."

After Yi Lin gave an affirmative answer, Yuan Zhiye immediately contacted the Deputy Bureau of the Cangyang City Police Department who had formally taken over the matter not long ago, and mobilized all the staff currently available at the fastest speed.

As the instructions were issued one after another, in the dark night, piercing sirens gradually rang out, as well as flashes of red and blue lights.

"Your approach is quite simple and rude."

Gu Tianqing smiled.

indeed.

Yi Lin's actions, in Gu Tianqing's eyes, were simple and rude, without any sense of beauty.

But if it is an ordinary leech, it is the most effective.

What are leeches afraid of?

One is exposure.

This is also the reason why the leech army almost always appears at night.

The second is...salt.

As we all know, leeches are afraid of salt.

"Normal" leeches have no skin protection on their body surface, and the high concentration of salt outside the body will form an osmotic pressure difference between the inside and outside of the leech mucosa, which can cause a large amount of water loss in the leech in a short period of time, and it disappears instantly.

If you don't believe me, do an experiment. Soak a limp leech in slippery salt water, and the leech will harden after a while, and it will be gone after a while.

Yi Lin and Oda Mai had slipped into the sewage treatment station ahead of time, and directly sealed off the drainage outlet. At present, the drainage pipeline in the entire Cangyang City has completely turned into a water storage pipe that can only enter and cannot exit. Yi Lin's idea is that only need to use a large amount of salt water and pour it into the sewer can completely kill this group of people. "Killer Leech".

"But,"

After understanding Yi Lin's thoughts, Gu Tianqing put on brand new black gloves again, and smiled: "Will it really go so smoothly?"

"What do you mean?" Yi Lin asked subconsciously, but soon Yi Lin came to her senses and said in surprise, "You have already done the divination?"

"No, it consumes too much, so I dare not do divination at will." Gu Tianqing shook her head with a sincere expression.

Under Yi Lin's remote mobilization, the city's police forces began to act.

They divided into teams one by one, and visited each community one by one, preparing to dump the high-concentration salt water into the sewer.

If the plan goes well, the leeches breeding in the sewer will go through a process from soft to hard and then completely dead in an instant.

"Do you have any thoughts about the leech man himself?"

After the whole city was busy exterminating pests, Gu Tianqing, Yi Lin, and Oda Mai, the three serious apostles, calmed down instead.

The rest is hard work, and they don't need to do it themselves.

Being idle is also idle, taking advantage of other people's absence, Gu Tianqing asked with a smile, as if trying to reason about the murderer's identity.

Yi Lin frowned: "Actually, it stands to reason that the clues exposed by the leeches so far are enough to deduce his identity. It is nothing more than those few special people who can get the victim's residence information through some channels. It’s just an industry. In addition, among the targets selected by the leech man in the early stage of development, almost none of the homes are equipped with advanced AI housekeepers, so it can be seen that he is even familiar with the layout of the house.”

Yi Lin thought for a while, then continued, "Do you remember the twelfth deceased?"

"Otaku?" Gu Tianqing thought for a while, and quickly extracted the one Yi Lin mentioned from among the many dead.

"Yes, that's the only dead person who left a video of the murder." Yi Lin habitually picked the cold and delicate skin on her forehead, thinking: "I noticed something very strange at that time, a large number of murderous leeches were draining water from every corner. After the mouth came out, the camera was covered immediately."

After pondering for a few seconds, Gu Tianqing stretched out two fingers: "There are two doubts."

Yi Lin nodded: "First, why does the other party know the layout of the camera so well, just like my own home?"

Gu Tianqing said with a smile: "The second is the purpose. The scene is already so obvious that leeches killed people, and he didn't deliberately cover up the traces of leeches entering the scene, so his behavior of covering up the camera is undoubtedly superfluous."

Yi Lin and Gu Tianqing remembered at the same time, at the end of that video, the muffled voice that came from the covered screen.

--"not enough."

The two fell silent at the same time.

Oda Mai was even more silent.

That's her nature.

When there is nothing to chop, she is too lazy to speak.

Generally, when speaking, most of them are shouting the name of the move.

Intertwined clues intertwined in Yi Lin's mind.

Erin closed her eyes.

The ground plan and three-dimensional map of Cangyang City, centered on the Cangyang City Police Station where Yi Lin was located, flashed through Yi Lin's mind one by one.

In Yi Lin's thoughts, it was as if she was condescending, overlooking the city from the perspective of God.

"Police station."

"Hospital."

"The delivery point of the logistics company."

"..."

In the bird's-eye view, building marks flashed in front of Yi Lin.

Just for a moment.

Yi Lin kept silent, a small "reading needle" was condensed from her fingertips, and she stuck it on her forehead.

"Super memory!"

The brain works faster.

The city buildings flashed through Yi Lin's mind like a slide show thirty times fast forward.

With one mind and two tasks, the information of each deceased is intertwined into a network diagram in Yi Lin's mind.

suddenly.

"Chenxi housekeeping?"

A name came into Yi Lin's "field of vision", and in an instant, countless messy clues seemed to be cut in the middle by a knife, completely cut off, leaving only a straight line.

"So it's here that I overlooked!"

Yi Lin's pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked at Gu Tianqing: "The house of the dead otaku is too clean!"

Gu Tianqing was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly: "I see."

"Walk!"

Yi Lin got up straight away and walked outside the house.

Oda Mai, who had been expressionless all the time, saw that Yi Lin finally made a move, her eyes lit up, and she followed up happily with a knife in her hand.

Gu Tianqing smiled and took two steps.

But the pace gradually slowed down.

When Yi Lin rushed out of the police station with the fastest speed, Gu Tianqing had already hidden in the darkness again.

...

"Sure enough, that guy..."

Yi Lin noticed Gu Tianqing and persuaded her to go back.

As expected.

He came to Cangyang City with an ulterior purpose.

The reason why they can barely cooperate is because they have the same goal.

"Old Yuan, how are you doing?"

While calling out Night Dire, Yi Lin huddled with Oda Mai's ass and contacted Yuan Zhiye at the same time.

"Everything is going well." Yuan Zhiye's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of nervousness: "There are barely enough people. After everyone is in place, you give an order, and everyone is poured with concentrated salt water at the same time... to death. !Drown those bastard murderous leeches!"

"With the fastest speed, help me check a local enterprise in Cangyang City, Chenxi Housekeeping!"

Yuan Zhiye's rhythm was already tense.

Yi Lin took the blame again... No way, Yuan Zhiye could only bite the bullet and search for information.

After a while.

"Chenxi Housekeeping, a new company registered in Cangyang City last year. It has developed very quickly. In a short period of time, hundreds of service points have been set up in the entire Cangyang City. Oh, the business scope is quite wide, normal Door-to-door cleaning, moving services, abnormal massage, dog walking, cooking, chatting, playing, and playing games...there are all kinds of services, and the business is really comprehensive!"

Yuan Zhiye's voice became more exclaimed: "According to the customer's comments... most of them have a good service attitude, fast door-to-door, skilled skills, beautiful skin, etc. By the way, the team leader, why did you suddenly check this housekeeping company? Could it be—"

"Be confident, remove the word Mo Fei! Hurry up and check this housekeeping company, is there any salesman who has taken all the orders of the deceased! Hurry up!"

After Yi Lin finished speaking, she immediately hung up the phone, turned on the gas pedal, and Dire turned on the "Dark Night Mode", galloping recklessly along the road in the city like a black lightning bolt in the dark night.
