On Amiya's side, after explaining the configuration here, Chen Huijie looked at the white rabbit in the Rhodes Island uniform with a puzzled look.
"Are you from Rhodes Island?"
"Ok?"
Froststar recalled what Tallulah had told her before, sighed, and nodded.
Who would have thought that Chen Huijie looked at Shuangxing, then looked at Tallulah, then quickly stepped forward and slapped the latter on the forehead.
"Ah! Huijie, what are you doing!"
Too busy to thank Teacher Tom for his friendly dubbing, Tallulah looked at Chen Huijie in disbelief.
It's been more than ten years. Even more than ten years ago, you never hit me on the head! I was the one who hit you!
"It won't happen again."
"What do you mean it won't happen again?"
Tallulah's forehead was covered in sweat. Ahahaha, what do you mean by "never again"? "Never again what"? Tallulah didn't understand.
"Humph."
Chen Huijie said nothing, but turned around, and the slender dragon tail slapped Tallulah with a snap, making the latter groan and hug her calves and dance a solo dance on the spot.
"Rhodes Island, that alien Flame Demon transformer you were talking about just now ran away to the slums, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Huijie nodded, then took out a photo from his arms.
Meanwhile, Froststar walked past Tallulah and chuckled, "You're exposed."
"what?"
After saying this, Frost Star walked towards Amiya and the others without caring about Tallulah's reaction.
"Wait for me."
Tallulah rubbed her calf quickly and hurried after him.
When I walked over to them, I saw Amiya taking the photo from Chen Huijie and looking at it carefully.
"It's definitely him. Although I didn't see it clearly at the time, the facial features should be correct."
"Who is who?"
Tallulah squeezed in between Amiya and Froststar, while Ace and Scout looked at the photo on the other side.
He was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
His face looked a little haggard, and the conspicuous Originium crystal near his chin and throat revealed his identity.
"This guy……"
Chen Huijie took the photo back and pointed at the person's face in it, then looked at everyone with a serious look.
"After analyzing the street surveillance footage at the time, we found that although the monster only briefly untransformed in mid-air before being swept away by a shadow, we were able to match the only facial features with the location of the Originium crystals and conclude that it was this person."
At this time, Ifrit, who had just escaped, was still wandering through the streets of the slums, worried that she was in such a hurry to get out that she forgot where to search for the fire-breathing monster and defeat him to prove that she was not a child. However, she did not notice that behind her, a man who looked exactly like the one in Chen Huijie's photo was following her.
"This person is..."
"Huang Xinteng, who contracted mineral sickness three years ago due to a factory operation error, currently lives at 132 Pingxin Avenue in the slums."
Following behind Ifrit, the man stared at the girl's back. He felt that something was attracting him from the girl.
"Huang Xinteng..."
"Well, we suspect that he is the transformed one of the Alien Fire Demon."
Chapter 50: The Sins of the Slums
"Is this Mr. Huang's home? Does he really live here?"
Amiya, who has entered the slums, looks at the dilapidated residential building in front of her. Through the broken windows, she can see that there is a lot of dust inside. It is obvious that few people live there. There is not even the most basic property management. It is a completely abandoned building.
and……
Perceiving the emotions around her, Amiya felt a lot of fear and disgust.
That is the sentiment of the ghetto dwellers.
Amiya glanced at the people who were looking at her and the others through the cracks in the window, and silently glanced at Chen Huijie, whose face was not very good.
"Let's go in."
Chen Huijie didn't say anything else, but led the team into the dilapidated residential building. Rhodes Island and others looked at each other and nodded, then followed. Among them, a small team of Royal Guards officers from the Linguang team were left outside to guard and pay attention to whether the suspect would come back from outside.
After entering the residential building, Tallulah finally lost her patience.
"Huijie, Longmen's attitude towards the infected..."
Chen Huijie slowed down his pace, but soon sped up again.
"In Longmen, if a citizen shows symptoms of oripathy, they must immediately go to a local hospital for a diagnosis within one calendar day. After receiving a diagnosis, they must leave the city and move to the slums. Except for those who are truly broke and brave enough to live there, the rest of the population in the slums are infected."
Tallulah pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but Chen Huijie spoke faster.
"The slums are a quarantine zone for infected and normal people. Although gangs are rampant here, there are various troublesome public security issues, and supplies are relatively scarce. The Guards rarely intervene in matters here, but..."
Chen Huijie took a deep breath, then turned her head to look at Tallulah, her sister who now runs an organization for the rights of people living with the virus.
"This is the best effort Longmen can make. After all, Longmen is still a city for normal people."
A normal...city...
Tallulah was silent.
The atmosphere in the entire team became depressing.
"Ah, well, the Longmen authorities' actions are understandable. They're for the benefit of the majority, to ensure their safety. Well, I can imagine the trade-offs Mr. Wei made. But, Sister Tallulah, when Rhodes Island was first established, we applied for cooperation with major cities in various major countries.
Roughly a year ago, Rhodes Island reached a medical insurance partnership with Longmen for those infected in the slums. They established an office in Longmen and conduct monthly physical examinations for those infected in the slums to ensure their health.
Tallulah's expression softened slightly, and Chen Huijie spoke again upon seeing this.
"This is true. A year ago, the still-unknown Rhodes Island applied to cooperate with Longmen on medical care for infected people. Initially, it wasn't accepted. It was only after Dr. Filin personally approved it with Commander Wei that the application was finally approved. At least over the past year, the medical conditions for the infected people in the slums have indeed improved significantly."
As they talked, they had already arrived at the fifth floor of the residential building where Huang Xinteng lived as recorded. There was a whole row of apartment rooms in front of them. Chen Huijie walked forward and stopped at the fifth door on this side of the stairs.
"Okay, this is it."
Chen Huijie looked at the house number on the door and compared it with the information in his hand, and finally confirmed that this was the address left by Huang Xinteng in the Guard Bureau's information.
However, because it happened several years ago, the Guard Bureau has no records of changes in residents in the slums, so even Chen Huijie cannot guarantee that the other party has moved in the past few years.
knock knock knock.
Chen Huijie knocked gently on the door, but there was obviously no response from inside. Chen Huijie knocked again, and finally turned around and shook her head at Amiya and the others.
Obviously, there is no one in the house at the moment, so what should we do?
Everyone had the answer in their hearts. The officers of the Imperial Guard looked at Chen Huijie, who nodded, and they immediately took out their tools.
Click click click.
Accompanied by the sound of two door locks being pried open, the Royal Guards police officer who picked the lock reached out and pushed the door open, revealing a messy room inside.
"Haha, Huijie, your Guards Bureau is really full of talented people."
Tallulah glanced at the Royal Guards officer who was picking the lock and couldn't help but tease him.
The police officer touched his head embarrassedly. After all, it was not a good idea to tell others that a police officer could pick the locks of six doors.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Sometimes, the Imperial Guard Bureau inevitably encounters some difficult situations when handling cases. For example, now, we naturally need to use some unconventional methods to solve them."
The one who started to explain was the tall ghost named Xingxiong. Talulah didn't know her very well, as they had only met each other twice. However, judging from the way they addressed each other in daily address and their conversation just now, Xingxiong should have a very good relationship with her sister.
"Prying the lock is a relatively peaceful method. If I encounter suspects who refuse to open the door, I usually just break it down and get in."
Chen Huijie's words made Amiya feel ashamed.
At present, we just think that Huang Xinteng is a suspect. He can actually open the lock and even break down the door. Are the Longmen Guards always so tough in handling cases?
"Ah, little leader of Rhodes Island, well, don't worry about it. Normally, we would contact the property management of the residential building or the local street for such situations. We usually don't open the door and enter directly like this. Isn't this an emergency?"
Xingxiong's explanation did not make Amiya feel at ease, and her perception of the Lungmen Guard Bureau changed slightly.
No one present wanted to pursue these details, so the members of the Guard Bureau, led by Chen Huijie, immediately filed in and began collecting evidence throughout the room.
On the Rhodes Island side, Doberman, who had experience in this area, walked in behind Amiya, followed by Talulah and Froststar, while the Snow Monster Team and Ace Team were on standby outside.
"Lin Guang, this is Ace. What's the situation outside?"
Ace asked Lin Guang outside into the radio.
"This is Linguang. There's nothing unusual outside, but there are still many infected people from the slums gathered here. They seem curious about our actions. Should we disperse them?"
Ace walked to the window of the building. There was a whole long window in the corridor of this residential building, and he could see directly outside.
Through the window here, Ace could see some infected people outside watching the commotion here.
This isn't a good thing, but does Lungmen's law enforcement have such a bad reputation around here in the ghetto?
"Don't be so surprised. In this land, even in Lungmen, which is relatively tolerant of the infected, the situation for those with oripathy isn't very good. After all... ha."
Scout seemed to be about to say something next to Ace, but he seemed to notice that there were police officers from the Guard Bureau looking at him, so he just sneered and stopped talking.
"This is!"
Suddenly, a scream was heard in the room. It was Amiya's, which made Ace and Scout alert and they walked in immediately.
"Amiya, what happened?"
Scout walked over quickly and saw Amiya staring at a small brown bottle in her hand with a look of shock. It was a syringe bottle. Scout was familiar with it. He had seen it in the medical department of Rhode Island when watching the doctors dispensing medicine.
Doberman, who was beside Amiya, was also looking at the medicine bottle in Amiya's hand with a serious face. Chen Huijie came over and took the medicine bottle. When he saw the name of the medicine on it, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Wait, Officer Chen, I need to see Dr. Kelsey to confirm this."
Amiya said as she opened the communication terminal and prepared to call Kal'tsit who was negotiating terms with Wei Yanwu at the moment. However, just as the call was connected, Chen Huijie spoke.
"No need. I've seen this kind of medicine before. I know it."
But Amiya seemed not to hear and still stubbornly waited for Kal'tsit to answer the call.
It wasn't until Kal'tsit answered the phone and heard Amiya's description that she made a judgment after a brief silence.
"Your judgment is correct."
In an instant, the atmosphere in the whole room became depressing.
"Morphine, an opioid analgesic, has a very strong and selective analgesic effect. It's often used to treat severe pain caused by trauma, surgery, burns, etc., but..."
There was a rare hint of anger in Kal'tsit's words, which made Wei Yanwu beside him raise his eyebrows.
"but?"
"Morphine is highly addictive and is more familiar by another name than painkiller."
"..."
"..."
"poison."
Chapter 51 I don’t want money, I want you
"Controlled drugs, what a great discovery."
After taking a look at Amiya, who seemed to be still immersed in Kal'tsit's judgment, Chen Huijie took the small medicine bottle from her hand with a gloomy expression.
"Xingxiong, can you find out which hospital this leak came from?"
Chen Huijie handed the medicine bottle to Xingxiong, who took a look and smiled.
"Old Chen, are you kidding me? If those hospitals in Longmen could just check their inventory of controlled drugs like these, wouldn't they know who lost them? Unless they were imported from overseas medical institutions... ah, sorry, I'm not talking about you guys in Rhodes Island."
Xingxiong said with a smile, but halfway through his words, he realized that what he said could easily lead to speculation, so he immediately apologized to the Rhodes Island staff.
"No, it's okay, Officer Hoshiguma, but..."
Amiya looked around the obviously dirty and messy room.
This is a house where an infected person lived, and morphine was found in this house. Does that mean he used it?
Use morphine for pain relief?
