Chapter 123 The Emergence of Special Cases
Chapter 123 The Emergence of Special Cases
You can't deal with a framework if you're within it.
Just as that saying goes—
They must obtain the power to defeat the world from outside the world.
If Yao Qing continues down the same path as before, her achievements in this life may be limited to that of a lowly police officer.
As for investigating cases that have already been shelved?
Don't even think about it.
It's simply impossible to get any results.
But, should we say she was just lucky or what?
A strange creature has appeared.
This is both a danger and an opportunity.
The old framework is destined to be shaken by the strange creature.
And this is the opportunity that Yao Qing can seize.
After Liu Ren pointed it out, Yao Qing didn't say anything more.
He remained quiet the whole way, seemingly deep in thought.
Fortunately, she is a good driver.
Even if you're doing two things at once, they won't interfere with each other.
However, the other two people sitting in the car were completely bewildered.
"Brother Liu, what are you talking about?" Fang Qian asked.
Chang Bingyu remained silent; she was always very quiet.
When performing tasks, it is basically a machine that follows orders.
"It's nothing, just a private matter concerning your sister Yao Qing," Liu Ren said evasively, offering no further explanation.
They found a small restaurant, and as usual, Liu Ren took over the food expenses during the mission.
Just after we finished eating, Ding Chen sent me a message.
[Ding Chen: The location of the mutant has been determined; it's here.]
[Ding Chen: But something's a little strange...]
[Liu Ren: What's strange about it?]
[Ding Chen: It's hard to say, you guys come over first.]
[Liu Ren: Okay.]
After finishing their meal, Liu Ren led a group of people to the location sent by Ding Chen.
Ding Chen arrived before them, greeted them, and said, "According to the surveillance footage, that mutant is in this family's house."
"Huh? Does that mean this family is doomed?" Yan Ling asked instinctively.
"No, no." Ding Chen shook his head. "Well... come in first."
With a strange expression on his face, he led his men into the courtyard in front of them.
There was only one old woman in this family.
Upon seeing Ding Chen, he greeted him, "Officer Ding, have you found the criminal?"
"Uh, not yet." Ding Chen shook his head and asked, "Grandma, what about that girl who's staying at your house?"
"Oh, you mean swallows?" The old woman looked suddenly enlightened, then called out into the house, "Little Swallow!"
A short while later, a little girl came out from inside.
"What's wrong, Grandma?" she asked innocently.
"Officer Ding is looking for you," the old woman replied, then turned to ask, "Officer Ding, what do you want with Xiaoyan? Did you find her family?"
"Yes, can you let her come out for a moment?" Ding Chen nodded.
"Xiao Yan, go ahead." The old woman raised her hand.
"Oh……"
The girl, known as "Xiao Yan," followed Ding Chen outside.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" she asked, looking up at Ding Chen.
"..." Ding Chen remained silent, offering no response, but instead looked at Liu Ren.
The latter met his gaze, then looked down at the little girl in front of him.
"Tell me about the situation," Liu Ren said.
Although he was speaking to Ding Chen, his gaze was fixed on Xiao Yan.
"Yes, that's how it is." Ding Chen unconsciously took a step back. "The surveillance footage shows that the monster disappeared after entering this area. I investigated and found nothing unusual. The only thing is that there's a little child in this Lakers' house. According to the old woman, she only recently appeared and doesn't know how to get home, so she's staying here."
Everyone understood what he meant.
They all immediately showed expressions of disbelief.
"No way..." Liang Nian looked Xiao Yan up and down several times. "This child looks like a normal person no matter how you look at her."
“Ah, that’s what I thought too.” Ding Chen nodded and explained, “However, I took a picture and had my colleagues in the cybersecurity department check it with the Tianyu system. This Xiao Yan’s real name is ‘Shu Yan’. But she died three days ago.”
"...Dead? How did he die?" Liang Nian's expression gradually changed from disbelief to horror.
"Died from the invasion of a strange creature, but no body was found..." Ding Chen replied.
"..."
The air became incredibly quiet for a moment.
Shu Yan still looked up at the adults in front of her.
His face was full of confusion.
It was as if they had no idea what the adults in front of them were talking about.
"What should we do?" Ding Chen asked Liu Ren.
“She may have become a possessed person,” Liu Ren said objectively. “Although in typical cases of possession by supernatural beings, there are usually no bodies left at the scene, the fact that she can still stand here is enough to say something. What kind of footage did the surveillance show?”
“It’s a monster,” Ding Chen said. “Although it has a humanoid shape, it’s not human at all.”
He has a similar appearance to most deformed individuals.
"...Can a mutant turn back into a human?" Yao Qing suddenly asked.
The person being questioned was also Liu Ren.
After all, he is the most authoritative person among everyone present.
It can be said that no one understands the supernatural better than Liu Ren.
“Based on the information provided by Ding Chen, it has already completely degenerated and cannot possibly return to human form.” Liu Ren shook his head.
"Then how do you explain this one in front of you?"
"It might be an exception."
"Then what should we do?"
Yao Qing's question left the others completely baffled.
To be honest, this was the first time they had ever seen anything like it.
Previously, when following Liu Ren on missions, I never encountered a situation where I didn't know whether or not to use a knife directly.
"...It's very simple. Whether it's a possessed or a mutant, when stimulated by external forces, they can no longer maintain their 'normal' appearance." Liu Ren produced a small knife.
"Wait, wait! What are you planning to do?" Ding Chen was startled and asked quickly.
"Try it with a knife and you'll know the answer."
"You're going to use a knife on such a young child?!"
“She’s not ‘such a small child,’ she’s a monster.” Liu Ren said coldly.
"...But it's not confirmed yet, is it?"
"So isn't this exactly what I'm trying to confirm?"
"..."
"Get out of the way. It's just a small cut, it won't kill you," Liu Ren said coldly.
“…Yes.” Ding Chen had no choice but to give up trying to stop him.
"Ugh, sir, what are you going to do—" Shu Yan looked frightened and shrank back.
But Liu Ren quickly grabbed his arm, and he couldn't break free.
"Let me go!" Shu Yan struggled.
His expression looked very pitiful.
This caused more than half of the bystanders to waver.
"Hmph, whether you're a demon or a monster, show your true form."
Only Liu Ren remained unmoved, and with a single stroke, he cut a gash several centimeters long on Shu Yan's arm.
