First, the bodies had to be collected before the next day. Then, such a large number of bodies, some of which were missing limbs, some were torn into pieces, and some were half-roasted, were transported back to the police station and handed over to the local police. They were asked to identify the victims based on information such as fingerprints, and then to retrieve the video footage to see whether these people had contact with other people when they were active as humans. Then, they would further investigate the overlapping people they had contact with to determine whether they had been infected.

But this is Japan, and it is impossible to lock people up like they do next door. This is also one of the reasons why the Japanese police's efficiency in handling cases is generally not so ideal.

Although it is said that it is because of the belief in the morality of the local people, the low crime rate and good public security, and the respect for human rights and privacy, it is only installed in places where littering is likely to occur, such as by rivers and in shopping malls, and not on residential streets and most small roads.

But everyone knows that this is actually to save money. If they really want to install surveillance cameras in every city street and community like the one next door, it will not be a small expense, and they may also be scolded by some people. After all, financial practitioners will come up and scold the police if they see them standing downstairs of their company.

Japanese politicians will not do such thankless things as this. If politicians who want to gain reputation don't do it, don't expect civil servants to make the final decision.

This also led to the situation that when Light Yagami discovered that two targets seemed to have entered the unmonitored area from time to time, he would have to send people to the scene to see if there were any businesses, or even ask the business owners, which was a very inefficient investigation method.

As a result, he was still busy dealing with the matter at the local police station.

The policeman guarding the door came in with a serious face.

"Your Excellency, a group of reporters have arrived at the door. They want to question us about the follow-up to the assassination of a parliamentary candidate on the street yesterday and demand an explanation.

They also said that citizens witnessed a large number of our personnel repeatedly entering and leaving the Metropolitan Police Department last night, transporting unidentified materials. I have already asked my colleagues to stop them, but if this continues, it will definitely create a bad reputation for our department."

The first half of this sentence was addressed to Light Yagami, the "imperial envoy" from above, and the second half was addressed to the local chief who had a related interest.

By the way, the policemen who let people in casually yesterday have been dispatched by Light Yagami to patrol the streets near the incinerator that is full of strange smells, so these people did their job quite well today.

A hint of impatience flashed in Light Yagami's eyes.

"Why not just drive them away?"

The policeman who came to report took a look at the officer who seemed too young in the police system, and then looked directly at his direct superior.

The local sheriff was also a little hesitant.

"Well...we have to deal with these people too. Otherwise, it might damage the reputation of our entire Metropolitan Police Department. Otherwise..."

The local sheriff almost said, you are just leaving after handling the case, but my political career has to continue!

This made Light Yagami even more unhappy, but he still used his skillful acting skills to pretend nothing had happened.

"Then go and give the interview, and don't leak the news of the operation.

We still have to deal with the follow-up here, otherwise if they start fighting we won’t be able to follow up, which would be troublesome.”

But the next sentence was a little too much for him to bear.

The sheriff frowned and used euphemisms to hint to Light Yagami not to offend these uncrowned kings.

"Well, we've been helping disperse the crowd for two days now. Could you please stop and wait until we've made a breakthrough in our investigation before taking any further action? If this gets out of hand, it'll be very troublesome for the various commanders as well."

Looking at the local old sheriff beside him, Light Yagami's expression has not changed much for a long time.

However, he felt something was wrong. The operation of transporting corpses last night was indeed large-scale and might be discovered. The businessman did not find anything strange yesterday, and it was expected that the other party would expose the matter to the media.

Even with Light Yagami's understanding of these insects, they would definitely use the death of their subordinates as an opportunity to try their best to let the media lead the story that it was his opponents who did it behind his back, in order to gain more support and fame for him.

But in all this reasonable situation, it seemed like someone was obstructing them. Light Yagami thought about it in reverse. If their opponents did this, what would be the benefit? The purpose of doing this seemed to be to make them run around in a hurry and paralyze the progress of the investigation.

And if that is the case, the other party has a clear grasp of their actions.

But when he thought of this, a strange look appeared on his face.

Because he suddenly thought that even if the entire team he brought was paralyzed, it would not have much impact on the actual situation.

Chapter 333: Why are you still playing chess?

Get rid of the conclusion in your head that you are not important at all.

He glanced at the police chief, and after he had done justice, he pulled his hands away to deal with this insect.

Light Yagami continued to speculate that if all this was man-made, then suppose there was a guy named X who had a reason to do so.

Then X definitely thinks that he is the main force and can influence the team's decision-making.

Then if I go out with my teammates, I will definitely be followed by paparazzi.

Even blatant stalking is aimed at making you alert and further restraining yourself completely.

Light Yagami waved his hand and called two people over.

"We're leaving through the back door. This is no longer a good place to conduct orders. Let's get back to the car."

When he got in the car and left, he soon found that there was a car following them.

The thoughts continued, there was no point in controlling us, it was only a matter of time before we continued our investigation and covert investigation.

Then, if X exists, he will start to act, either by creating something that can only be done when our combat power is controlled, or by starting to put pressure on the Metropolitan Police Department, making it impossible for us to make any major moves and forcing us to be at their mercy, thus achieving the goal of delaying time.

What's the point of delaying? The guy before was highly suspicious. If he delays, he can become mayor. Although he is not a parasite, it cannot be ruled out that parasites use methods such as controlling family members to make humans serve them.

If that's the case, then he's trying to prove his innocence?

Should we create a "Parasyte attack?" If X exists, we can ask who in the car behind us instructed them to follow us, and there is a high chance we will get a clue.

All you have to do is control them, torture them, and then blame everything on the parasite.

No, the people around me are not my confidants, and they will not accept the fruit of this poisonous tree as evidence.

However, if they want to do something now, this is their best time.

Maybe he's attacking me, or maybe he's trying to divert attention. So what should I do now...

My thoughts end here. I can't continue thinking in this way. If I continue like this, the possibilities and doubts will only increase.

What we should do most now is to strengthen the inspections at the entrances and exits of each city, but we don’t have enough manpower here, and if we take any action, we will be discovered by the other party.

However, the fact that the cards are being monitored may not necessarily be exploitable. Even if my guess is false, it is just a waste of time.

“Call and ask where the mayor’s house is who came yesterday, and then we’ll go over there.

Then order the first group separately to drive directly to the city government, the court, and the wealthy area, each with a police car. Tell the local police that they have made a major discovery and rush to the scene immediately. If they find that they are being followed, they don't need to worry.

The second team will stay at the police station and observe whether anyone inside goes to the restroom or other places to report the incident. They will also monitor the nearby road surveillance to see if anyone hastily leaves home.

After giving the order, Light Yagami looked at his mobile phone, opened the email address he used to contact Kirito, typed a string of words but did not send them.

Soon after, he began to wait for a reply in the car. Whoever couldn't hold back and appeared on the road at this time would be the general.

Light Yagami sneered, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Hirokawa Tsuyoshi sat on the sofa with a frown on his face, his expression full of solemnity.

Why was there no warning of this action? The Metropolitan Police Department's informants hadn't sent any information either. Could it be that their informants had been eliminated, exposing themselves?

The other party's vehicle was heading straight for me. Was it a random patrol here? Was it an arrest? Or was it a test?

Damn it… Should I leave someone behind to protect my safety, or move immediately?

No, I need to calm down.

"Hurry up, contact the reporters and have a few come interview me, the friend and boss of the victim of yesterday's case.

Then you all go into hiding.”

Even though I still can't figure out what the Metropolitan Police Department's strange methods are.

But he made a bold decision without hesitation.

He gambled that without any evidence, no one except Americans would dare to arrest him for no reason in front of reporters from capitalist countries.

The flag bearers on both sides played chess vigorously, guessing all the actions of the target that might or might not exist.

However...some people had no intention of playing chess at all.

"Ouch!"

[Nohara Xiaobai: Anomalies have been discovered in the residential areas surrounding Miller's Hometown Amusement Park!]

Several parasitic beasts who hurriedly left Hirokawa Tsuyoshi's house didn't pay any attention at all. A puppy on the side of the road wagged its tail as they passed by.

After the others left, Xiaobai kicked the military package he had taken off when he smelled the smell into the telephone pole.

[Sato Kazuma: I'm the closest, catch up, I'll be there soon]

Even if they didn't run, there would be no point, as the undead searching the wealthy areas would quickly discover them.

Xiaobai chased them all the way, acting like a stray dog looking for food.

As a result, I saw a few people entering a park. It seemed that they didn't plan to leave too far, and the source of the smell didn't move much.

Knowing that these creatures were all valuable creatures with eyes on the back of their heads, Xiaobai didn't want to rush in and arouse suspicion, so he continued to wander around the park exit as if looking for food, pretending to sniff the ground.

However, Xiaobai, who was paying close attention to the smell, suddenly heard several approaching footsteps.

It turned its head and looked up, and saw several human children. It moved its position and continued to lower its head to pay attention to the changes in the smell in the air.

But the next moment, he felt someone approaching from behind, and a child actually picked it up.

Xiaobai was afraid of hurting the child, so he did not resist.

He looked at the children with some confusion.

The next moment, the child in front of him raised it up.

"Let's have a competition! Tie him up to the sand over there and throw rocks at him to see who can hit him the hardest!"

The child holding it spoke to the two companions beside him.

"Okay!"

"Come on, I won't lose!"

The two children nodded repeatedly. The leading child was overjoyed and took out a skipping rope and tied it around Xiaobai's neck.

Xiaobai was very anxious and quickly used his claws to resist.

"You guy!"

The leading child looked unhappy and threw Xiaobai directly against the wall next to him.

"Hey! Kids! What are you doing?"

Suddenly a rough voice sounded.

Xiaobai suddenly realized that the smell was very close to him. He opened his eyes and saw a big hand grabbing the small hand that was grabbing the back of his neck.

A parasitic beast was looking at the children with an unhappy expression.

"It hurts! You stinky uncle!"

The child quickly let go, and when Xiaobai was free falling, he was caught by the parasitic beast, who squatted down and put him on the ground.

The little ghosts were very dissatisfied, but they were also afraid of the adult male appearance of the parasitic beast, so they could only make faces and raise their middle fingers.

While Xiaobai was extremely nervous, the parasitic beast saw the little ghosts running away and turned around without making any move. It walked back to its original position and sat down.

"Humans are truly a species that is inherently evil."

One of the parasitic beasts saw its companion coming back, and seemed to be talking to its own kind because there was no one around except a puppy.

"Indeed, they keep everything they like to eat in captivity, putting a price on the lives of other creatures, yet claiming their own lives are priceless."

The person who returned agreed.

Seeing that the three people were not wary of him, Xiaobai simply walked in, pretending to be a little flattering because he was rescued, and approached them.

Chapter 334: What is the most important thing in life?

"What do you think we are living for? Human food doesn't make us happy, human games don't give us pleasure, and as a boarder, we can't feel the pleasures of the human body either."

A parasitic beast on a chair looked at the park in front of it and asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it's really like Hirokawa Tsuyoshi's theory, that we are the immune system created by the Earth to eliminate humans."

Another parasite came up with an idea.

"Go get some humans to eat tonight."

The parasitic beast that helped Xiaobai out at the beginning answered dully.

After hearing his words, the parasitic beast looked at its fellow creatures in surprise.

"No, no, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that we were born into this world, living in the bodies of humans, yet we cannot understand most of the pleasures humans enjoy. It's as if we were born with defects. How can a special life like us find the meaning of our own existence?"
