Chapter 364 The Source of Disaster
Lin Yu flipped through the tablet quickly and soon finished reading the overview compiled by "Order".
can only say……
As expected, the organization includes a large number of police officers and soldiers, and the reports they write are concise, neat, and even beautiful.
Useful information was neatly listed on the tablet, and pictures helped Lin Yu sort out all the information.
The deceased was "Luo Bo" from the "Players Mutual Aid Association", which Lin Yu had confirmed before.
He arrived at Haicheng South Station by express train at four in the morning last Friday, and then, led by the "auction" staff, also known as the "hunting club" operators, he checked into a five-star luxury hotel in Haicheng West District.
As the founder of the "Players Mutual Aid Association", Luobo was highly valued and was arranged to stay in the highest-standard executive suite with a river view on the top floor of the hotel.
The suite had two bedrooms and a living room. Two members of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" accompanied Luobo on this trip. One was a "third-level" "thug", codenamed "Lotus"; the other was a "second-level" "craftsman", codenamed "Cassia Seed".
According to the arrangement of the "Hunting Club", Luobo originally lived in the master bedroom of the suite, but according to what Lotus and Cassia said, Luobo felt that he would be fine living in the second bedroom alone, so he gave the master bedroom to them.
Although the two did not agree very much, they finally agreed under the insistence of Luobo.
The "Player Mutual Aid Association" seems to know that the most important [item] that Carrot is carrying this time is very dangerous, so they are also more cautious.
Although nominally participating in the "auction", the buyer had actually been contacted through the "Hunting Club" before participating - a non-staff member of the "Order", similar to "Tycoon" and "Forbolo". Although an informal member of the "Order", their long-term cooperative status can also guarantee the reputation of the buyer to a certain extent.
The buyer's code name is "Zhu Rong", his occupation is also "farmer", and he is from Lancheng, Long Province in Northwest China.
The [prop] that Luobo is actually selling will not go through the auction process, it is just a cover-up.
The above is the background of Luobo’s coming to Haicheng.
In short, during the three days he stayed in the hotel, Luobo continued to move around normally every day.
His daily routine has always been very regular. He gets up at six in the morning, does morning exercises, has breakfast, and then starts to deal with organizational work. Then he watches TV dramas for a while in the afternoon. After dinner in the evening, he washes up and goes to bed at about ten o'clock.
Until Monday... that is, last night, around ten o'clock, Cassia seed and Lotus took over the shift.
After staying up all day, Cassiae was ready to wash up and go to bed, leaving Lotus to watch over him in the living room.
And just when the two of them were changing shifts... Luobo, who was supposed to wash up and go to bed, walked out with his mobile phone in a somewhat abnormal manner and went to the balcony to make a call.
Lotus observed for a while and found that the call didn't seem to go through, and then Uncle Carrot returned to the room.
At that time, Hehua just thought that Luobo had called home but the call went through. Seeing that his expression was normal, she did not ask too much about his privacy.
It was not until 2:15 in the middle of the night that Lotus suddenly woke up on the sofa in the living room and realized that she had fallen asleep inexplicably.
According to Hehua's recollection, the last time he was conscious was when he was watching short videos on his mobile phone, which was around 1:40.
In other words, he was probably unconscious for thirty-five minutes at most - which felt a little abnormal to Lotus.
So, Hehua went to call Cassiae in the master bedroom first, and then he unexpectedly found that Cassiae was awake and reading in the room.
After hearing Lotus say that she fell asleep inexplicably, Cassia also took it seriously, so the two decided to check on Radish's condition.
Because they didn't want to disturb Luobo's sleep, the two of them quietly opened the door of the second bedroom and observed through the crack first.
Although Radish was lying in bed perfectly fine...
But the room was unusually quiet, even breathing could not be heard, which made Lotus feel very uneasy.
So he ignored Cassiae's objection, pushed the door open and walked in, while trying to wake up Luobo.
then……
After approaching, he confirmed that Luobo had lost vital signs.
Breathing and heartbeat completely stopped, and body temperature dropped to the lowest level.
After discovering all this, Lotus and Cassia immediately called the person in charge of the "Hunting Club", as well as the "Order" members who came to assist in the management - one of them was a "doctor" by profession and was actually the chief physician of a Class 3 hospital.
After attempts to revive him, he was confirmed dead.
The preliminary judgment is that if there is no external interference or distortion, the time of death should be between 1:15 and 1:45.
It just happened to overlap with the time when Lotus described herself as being "drowsy".
There were no obvious external injuries on Luobo's body, and although his expression looked a little painful, there were no signs of excessive struggle.
A careful examination of the cause of death revealed that it appeared to be sudden cardiac death.
However, although Luobo is very old, his body functions have always been healthy and he has not shown any signs of overwork recently. This is of course very unreasonable!
What's more, after going deeper... I found that although there was nothing abnormal with the body, there was still some residual ability similar to "curse" in the soul.
There is no doubt that this is most likely the work of a player.
At the same time, after inspection, it was discovered that the key [prop] that Luobo was carrying was also missing - now even the motive is clearer.
After Lotus explained the whole story to the members of "Order" and made a request.
The Haicheng branch of "Order" immediately took over the matter and blocked the news.
"That's the whole story."
Looking at the last sentence of the document, Lin Yu silently closed the tablet.
"Huh...it's quite a troublesome case."
This is a less than standard locked-room murder case.
Why is it not quite standard...it's not just because the gatekeeper Lotus took a nap.
More importantly, surveillance and top-floor windows are of no significance to high-end "players".
Although "Order" has not yet detected any traces of the use of "props", it cannot be completely ruled out.
"I already understand the basic situation. Anyway, before I go to the scene to investigate further and communicate with Forboluo, I still have a question."
Lin Yu looked at Li Hua.
Li Hua nodded: "Ask."
"What kind of lost prop is it that makes us so nervous?"
"Liang Ye only said that the thing might cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people, but I need to know more specifics."
Hearing Lin Yu's question, Li Hua nodded.
"To avoid unnecessary trouble and prevent intelligence theft, we have not directly mentioned this in any of our written reports, especially electronic reports."
"But I can tell you face to face."
"The lost item is called [Super Genetically Modified Carrot]."
Hearing this name, Lin Yu was stunned for a moment: "Ah? This thing... is so powerful?"
Li Hua nodded again.
"This thing is a carrot that can multiply indefinitely. Just provide it with energy, and it will expand and divide in a controlled manner."
"That doesn't sound like a big deal," Lin Yu said, puzzled. "You said... this thing is even controllable."
"No, the growth and proliferation of this thing can be controlled, but... it is very, very addictive."
Li Hua sighed.
"It's tens of thousands of times more potent than any addictive drug known to this world... Moreover, this addictive property is effective on most living things."
