Chapter 365 The necessity of solving the case, meeting Fu Luo again
"Addiction? That's too bad..."
Lin Yu immediately sighed.
"It's not just about addiction," Li Hua sighed. "Because its addictiveness is so strong, once withdrawal symptoms occur and the drug isn't satisfied, it's very likely to lead to an almost insane desire to attack."
"Even the strongest of wills can be broken...it can even affect animals."
"That's why we say that if it were to spread, it would likely affect tens of thousands of people – and that's even a conservative and optimistic estimate."
Lin Yu also nodded: "If this effect really exists, coupled with its infinite proliferation characteristics... theoretically, in the worst case scenario, this thing can even destroy the existing social order."
"But why not destroy such a dangerous thing?"
In response to Lin Yu's question, Li Hua immediately responded.
"We also asked the people from the Players' Mutual Aid Association the same question, but the answer was... it can't be destroyed."
"Can't be destroyed?"
Lin Yu was stunned.
"Yes, Carrot initially tried many methods, but even if he destroyed it at the molecular level, and even used all kinds of advanced weapons he took out from the replica, the result was... it would absorb energy from the surrounding environment to regenerate."
"It will take at most a week to fully recover."
As Li Hua was speaking, Liang Ye also came up with a new idea.
"Shit, then why not just throw it back to the [Instance] world?"
"There's also the risk of it being acquired by another player," Li Hua said calmly. "The risk level of this thing is too high."
Hearing this, Lin Yu sighed: "That's really a headache..."
This [Super Genetically Modified Radish] was just like the SCP containment object he had seen in middle school.
It seems that there is no better way except to "contain" it and prevent others from getting access to it.
And after this thing was lost...
It's a bit scary indeed.
"Shit, I can only hope that no one has eaten it yet, or that the player who stole it doesn't have any plans of revenge against society."
Liang Ye rubbed his eyebrows and said.
Li Hua nodded. "We've also been collaborating with other 'Order' branches in other places over the past few days. Currently, the sale of carrots in Haicheng is gradually being regulated... Although it's likely futile, it's definitely helping a little."
Lin Yu also agreed with this approach.
Although it sounds abstract, in the face of a crisis where the consequences of tragedy are difficult to reverse, as long as there is a one percent chance that it can have a slight effect, then even the most troublesome measures will be meaningful.
"No matter what, I will do my best to investigate the truth and find the lost [Super Genetically Modified Radish]."
"Let's get back to the case. Given the current situation, how many suspects can 'Order' identify?"
As Lin Yu spoke, Li Hua began to think.
"Because this event is hosted by the Hunting Club and co-managed by us, Order, so putting aside the possibility that a high-level player used a [prop] that could deceive everyone and pull off a perfect crime, there are currently only eight potential suspects."
"Because there are only eight players who have access to the carrot living in the penthouse suite and know his identity."
"First, there are 'Cassia' and 'Lotus', two colleagues from the 'Players' Mutual Aid Association'."
When Lin Yu heard this, he nodded slightly.
These two people are indeed highly suspicious - most of the information in the current report is compiled based on the testimony of the two people, and has only been preliminarily cross-checked with the evidence at the scene, and the possibility that the two people are lying cannot be completely ruled out.
"Next are the three people sharing the penthouse suite with Luobo... The Hunting Club has booked almost half the hotel, and Luobo is a kind person, so he's already greeted the other residents."
"Those three are Seagull of the Night Watch, Bai Lian Steel, the administrator of Fengcheng in Liao Province and the leader of the Shanhai Society, and the bounty hunter Cress."
"These three suspects are minor, but they cannot be completely ruled out."
Li Hua pushed his glasses and said.
Lin Yu didn't say anything, but just silently memorized the three names.
Liang Ye frowned upon hearing this: "There's Cress in Xiba. I don't think we need to investigate the murderer. It must be this Xiba!"
Li Hua coughed lightly and said, "Comrade Liang Ye, please don't make judgments based on personal emotions."
Liang Ye shrugged: "I'm not serious. I just said some bad things behind your back."
Li Hua was helpless and continued to look at Lin Yu: "As for the last three suspects, two are the leaders and senior executives of the 'Hunting Club' for this 'auction', 'Ming Wang' and 'Huang'."
"There's another one... 'Kite', who came from our 'Order' to assist."
Li Hua announced the names of the last three people.
"Although these three even include one of our comrades, they are definitely not a small suspect."
"Furthermore…except for Cassia Seed and Lotus, none of the eight individuals mentioned above were able to provide any alibi for the two hours before and after Radish's death."
Lin Yu heard Li Hua's words and recorded them silently.
"Because no one can prove their innocence, it's difficult to narrow down the suspects..."
Originally, this kind of "murder case" involving players would involve many factors to consider due to the existence of [props].
Now the eight most suspected people are unable to provide valid alibis, which is really adding insult to injury.
"Any ideas, Comrade May?"
Lin Yu shook his head.
"Not yet. We have to get to the scene and meet all the suspects before we can make a preliminary judgment."
During the conversation, the car slowly stopped.
Lin Yu glanced outside the car and saw that it had stopped at the entrance of a magnificent hotel lobby.
The car door opened, and before he got out, Lin Yu saw a handsome man waving at him excitedly at the hotel entrance.
The man looked very funny in his nightcap and silk pajamas.
"Hey! Hey! May! Here!"
A voice with a Henan accent sounded, and the guy standing at the door was naturally Fu Luo!
Fu Luo came forward in the hotel's disposable slippers, looked at Lin Yu who got off the car, and patted his shoulder vigorously.
"You're finally here, brother... This case is really too difficult, so I quickly called you over to help."
"You've already read the information on the way, right?"
Lin Yu nodded: "I took a quick look... Why, you've seen the scene but still have no idea?"
Fu Luo shook his head: "Of course not, I already have a preliminary idea, but I want to hear your opinion... So, before you have seen the scene, I will not interfere with your thoughts with my own."
"I believe that although this case is troublesome, if we two brothers join forces, we will be invincible!"
