Chapter 744: The cruel black industry chain; the unknown elements in the heat
Qiu Quan sighed: "The situation on Yuedao is complicated, and various black industries are rampant. All forces that have been entrenched on Yuedao for a long time are involved in it, including the Yuedao government itself, which is also a link in these industrial chains.
As far as I know, Shunli Ocean Trading Company has close cooperation with the government of Tsukishima. Many of the unclaimed bodies on Tsukishima were dealt with by the government and then cleaned up by this company.
There was no need for Qiu Quan to elaborate on how to deal with the bodies.
As an area where human trafficking, organ trading, pornography, gambling and drug industries are highly concentrated, Tsukishima has become a world-famous black zone.
According to unofficial statistics, more than 50% of the permanent residents on Tsukishima are involved in the black industrial chain.
The trafficked people first flow into various irregular pornography and gambling industries. Most of the local people are the eyes and ears of the major forces, always monitoring the words and deeds of these "goods". And many of them are descendants of the people who were trafficked here. Their descendants will also enter the black road that they have relied on for generations in order to survive.
There are no nominal slaves on Tsukishima, but there are people everywhere who have no personal freedom or rights.
When they are alive, they are free labor and the medium for the spread and expansion of the black industry; when they die or do not die but meet the requirements of the "buyers", their lives will end and the needed parts of their bodies will end in another way.
Such inhumane things seem unbelievable to the people of Middle-earth, but such things have been going on on Tsukishima for a hundred years.
And this place, together with Spimago in Sunny Country, is just one of the dark areas in the world.
Middle-earth's usual strict public security and leading economic level make it difficult for most of the people in Middle-earth to imagine these shocking realities.
Qiu Quan then gave Chang Le a copy of the internal information about the smooth ocean trade achieved through their previous cooperation.
After reading it, Chang Le roughly connected the whole incident in his mind.
For a long time, the mutants have been hiding with the help of these black industry forces that are difficult for the Middle-earth officials to penetrate and investigate. Tsukishima is likely one of the concentrated hiding places. The people behind the scenes control the mutants by spreading "heat" in the black industry chain of Tsukishima.
But something happened two months ago. Some crocodile-like beastmen from Tsukishima entered Middle-earth and massacred the people of Middle-earth.
The reasons that led them to take action in Middle-earth can be summarized into two.
First, they need human body parts. In this case, either there is a problem with the available people on Tsukishima, and they have to enter the neighboring Middle-earth, which fits the situation of "rough burial" and "transportation away" in the case. Or the person behind the scenes deliberately let the mutants enter Middle-earth to test.
Second, what they need is "heat". Tsukishima's "heat" may be out of supply, and they are looking for more heat, or a substitute. Then, the human body they took may have some connection with "heat".
But no matter which specific situation it is, Middle-earth has begun to be targeted by the mutants. At the same time, this is also an opportunity for Middle-earth to follow the clues and find the mutants.
"Bones, brain, origin...heat...mutation..."
Chang Le always felt that she had overlooked something, and the flash of inspiration that day, a voice in her heart told her that it was crucial, but the more she thought about it, the harder it was to remember.
She was having a headache when she heard some noise coming from the Dragon Tomb.
Chang Le entered the Dragon Tomb because Shen Xiu had passed the test of the trial ground and was ready to start blood purification.
Because this step involves the inheritance of the Dragon Tomb, it is different from the ordinary supernatural power purification in the new plan, so it will not work according to the ordinary method. Chang Le, the Lord of the Dragon Tomb, must assist, which is equivalent to authorizing Shen Xiu at every step.
Chang Le handed over the matters to Xue Wuwang and others, and then entered the Dragon Tomb.
……
Huan Bo accompanied forensic doctor Jiang to visit several more scenes, while Captain Hu and other detectives visited the workplaces and relatives of the missing persons.
It was not until the evening that everyone returned to the mudflats of Triangle Port.
"The work here has basically been completed. We will return to the bureau tomorrow and take all these away." Forensic Doctor Jiang pointed at all the evidence and the remains of the victims.
Huan Bo nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Xiao Fu to clean up as well."
At this time, Fu Heqing came in, rubbing his eyebrows.
"I'm here, just in time," Huan Bo said, "I'm going back tomorrow, remember to pack up."
Fu Heqing responded, fatigue visible on his face.
The case involved too many things, and the victims' experiences were too shocking, so Fu Heqing had basically had no rest in the past few days.
Seeing this, Huan Bo handed him a cup of coffee and asked, "Are you still testing the mutant's blood?"
Fu Heqing gulped down a few mouthfuls before saying, "No more. Today, we examined other traces left on the bones, but found no clues related to the murderer. In the afternoon, Xiao Sun sent us a copy of 'Hot Fire' for our investigation. He lent it to us for two days, so I started the test as soon as possible."
"We in Cuiweiyuan only have information about this thing, but no real thing. I don't know much about this kind of thing, so I didn't know how to start, so it took me a lot of time. However, it's not that we didn't find anything."
Captain Hu immediately asked: "What new discoveries have you made?"
Fu Heqing said: "I just think the composition of the hot fire is a bit strange. I detected not-so-trace amounts of carbon, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other elements in it. It is a bit unreasonable for these to appear in 'hot fire'.
First of all, it is possible that they mixed it with other things when selling it. But if this possibility is ruled out, I suspect that there are other key ingredients in the Heat that have been overlooked.
But the tests in the past few hours can only reach that level. It will take time to figure it out completely, and I don’t know if this will be an effective clue.”
Captain Hu was a little worried because there were no effective clues, but he was not discouraged. He said to Fu He Qing: "We can't let go of any clues now. Since we have found something new, we will have to trouble Mr. Fu again."
Fu Heqing smiled and said, "This is what I should do. Everyone hopes to solve the case as soon as possible."
While chatting about their discoveries during the day, they ate a bite and prepared to rest.
Fu Heqing was not too sleepy at the moment, so he continued to study the Heat.
Huanbo and another agent kept watch.
Originally, Captain Hu wanted to keep watch, but Huan Bo knew that he had been under pressure from all sides and had to pay close attention to the progress of each team's actions. He was much more tired than him, so he replaced his shift.
Compared to Captain Hu, Huan Bo stayed awake because of his strong physique and the nocturnal habits of snakes.
His head was clear, but his eyes were closed, and he was sitting on a rock, looking like he was asleep.
It was the middle of the night, the stars and the moon were silent, and the blockaded port was utterly silent. Only the sparkling sea surface illuminated by the lights made a rumbling sound along with the layers of light waves.
In the cool sea breeze, two "things" that landed with warmth were infinitely magnified in Huanbo's perception.
