Chapter 1165 It Will Rain Tomorrow so You Don’t Have to Go Out

Early the next morning, Qianshu came to the door happily, and then took Mugeng shopping.

The reason why Qianshu was so active and enthusiastic was simple. Duanmu Huai not only asked her to be responsible for purchasing daily necessities and clothing that Mugeng needed, but also asked her to be responsible for buying furniture for his family. After all, although Duanmu Huai had money, he was not interested in wasting time on such places. When he went shopping with his mother before, Duanmu Huai knew that women were the kind of people who could go shopping for a whole morning for a chair, just to find out which one was the most cost-effective.

The worst thing is that when you feel like your feet are about to break after walking, your mother, who has compared a circle, thinks that the discount at the first store is the most cost-effective... So you have to go back to the beginning bitterly. For Duanmu Huai, this is a complete waste of time, isn't it...

MMP, going shopping with a woman is PTSD for Duanmu Huai.

So this is equivalent to Duanmu Huai throwing Qianshu a black card, telling her that you can buy whatever you want, I just want the result, and it doesn't matter how much money it costs. Anyway, Duanmu Huai also has a lot of gems. If he has no money, he can just exchange them directly. He doesn't have to worry about not having enough money to live.

For Qianshu, isn't this the best way to satisfy his shopping desire? He can buy whatever he wants. What could be more enjoyable than this!

What? You said the things you bought are not hers?

Haha, it sounds like how many things women buy when they go shopping are what they usually use...

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

After Qianshu took Mu Geng out, Duanmu Huai also went out to the DA headquarters. Qianshu and Mu Geng went shopping on the street, while Duanmu Huai went to the DA headquarters to investigate the magical girl incident with Yutong Lingno.

The reason for choosing the DA headquarters is that the DA headquarters has the largest surveillance system and information collection system in the city. If you want to thoroughly search the entire city, you naturally need big data analysis and support.

And first of all, it is the target of big data, and Duanmu Huai is ready for this.

"The girl who died of weakness?"

"That's right."

Facing Yutong Lingno's question, Duanmu Huai nodded.

"I learned from editor Tengchuan that he had asked forensic doctors and learned that similar incidents had occurred all over the country. Most of the victims were girls, with no external injuries or signs of taking medicine. They simply died. Therefore, the police could only give the explanation that they died of weakness... At present, these girls who died of weakness are likely to be sacrificed magical girls. So, I want to see how many people died of this reason."

"I know."

Yutong Lingno nodded, and then quickly tapped the keyboard. Soon, a map of the entire city appeared on the big screen in front of the two of them. Then, one by one, light spots emerged from it and quickly spread out on the map.

"Also, witches will manipulate others to enter the barrier and devour them. These people are generally regarded as either suicide or missing in the real world. The number of suicides and missing persons is also counted."

"No problem."

"Finally, arrange them in chronological order and let's see... Oh, this is really interesting."

"Yes, this is really interesting."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's sigh, Yutong Lingno also nodded with a serious expression. Frankly speaking, if these data are separated, they all look like unrelated events. However, when the events that are relatively concentrated in the same area are separated and arranged in chronological order, a very obvious feature emerges.

"The first deaths were all girls, and they were no older than 18 years old, mostly between the ages of ten and sixteen."

Staring at the death cases arranged on the map, Duanmu Huai's voice was low.

"This really fits the characteristics of a magical girl."

"Yes, I never thought that we would miss such a clue... ..."

Staring at the screen, Yutong Lingno also gritted her teeth. The reason why these were connected so smoothly is very simple, that is, the time interval between these cases is not long.

Simply put, if a girl died on August 5, then within two months after the girl's death, various suicides, accidental deaths and disappearances will occur in this area.

If it is a region, then you can blame the region for having bad feng shui.

But if similar situations occur in several districts in a city, you can't say that all of them have bad feng shui.

And because the police's internal data was used, not public information, the cause of death of these girls was not the kind of "weakness death" that fooled the media and their families.

Rather, the cause of death was unknown.

That's right, in each area, the first girl who died had an unknown cause of death.

This is just the result of Yutong Lingnai's analysis and investigation of the data of this city in recent years according to Duanmu Huai's request.

"I didn't expect that such a terrible thing would lurk here for so long?! I haven't received any similar reports at all!"

"That guy seems invisible to ordinary people."

Duanmu Huai recalled the time when he first came to this world and was approached by QB on the street. There were people coming and going around, but no one looked at the animal that could speak human language. It is very likely that, as QB said, only the selected people can see it... Well, for an organization like AAA, it is indeed a very difficult problem.

"What should we do now? Should we investigate all places?"

"There is no need to make it so troublesome."

Duanmu Huai shook his head, rejected Yutong Lingno's proposal, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the screen.

"Look carefully, most of these incidents lasted for one to two months, and then there was a break. If I am not mistaken, the witch who caused the incident here should have been eliminated by the magical girl, so there will be no more trouble. In this way, even if we investigate, we probably won't get anything. So I suggest the opposite, starting from the back."

"Back?"

"Yes, it will be about this week. Lock these areas, and then filter the areas where similar incidents occurred in one week again."

Soon, the icon on the map changed again, narrowing from several areas to two.

"What's next?"

"Wait."

Duanmu Huai pulled the chair next to him and sat down, staring at the screen silently.

"If the witch is going to act again, there will definitely be people who want to commit suicide or disappear in these two areas. We just need to focus on the surveillance cameras in these two areas. Of course, if we can meet a magical girl by the way, it will be even better, and we don't have to go around collecting intelligence."

"……………It seems that this is the only way."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's proposal, Xitong Lingno was stunned for a moment, and found that this seemed to be a relatively reliable method... Or, in other words, they didn't have much better methods. After all, Duanmu Huai can only deal with witches. Although Xitong Lingno has eliminated demons, she is still very cautious when facing this kind of monster whose true identity is unknown, so as not to overturn.

Fortunately, this kind of thing does not require two people to watch. As long as the conditions are given, there will naturally be DA staff to handle it. Duanmu Huai took the opportunity to change the machine and watch Qianzhu and Mu Geng go shopping and fishing through the surveillance.

I don't know if the two of them are unaware of the existence of surveillance or don't care. At least on the surface, they seem to be having a good time. Qianshu is as excited as a golden hair, running around the streets with Mugen, going to this store and that store, and every time she goes out, she will have an extra big bag in her hand. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai also silently breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't go, otherwise, at the end of Qianshu's shopping, he might have triggered PTSD and died on the street.

For example, when choosing cosmetics, according to Duanmu Huai's idea, just find a store and buy it.

As a result, Qianshu dragged Mugen to the East City to buy lipstick, the West City to buy blush, the South City to buy earrings, and the North City to buy skin care... Aren't they all cosmetics? Do you have to buy them in four stores?

Can't you just buy them all in one store?

"Report!"

Just when Duanmu Huai was secretly complaining, suddenly, the DA staff who was responsible for monitoring the urban area spoke immediately.

"There is something unusual in area C-16!"

"Let them out."

After hearing the report, Yutong Lingno immediately gave the order, and then saw the big screen flash, and then a dim, narrow alley appeared. Then, several men and women in suits who looked like office workers appeared from one end of the alley, and walked weakly towards the end of the alley as if they were summoned by something.

Then... they just disappeared from the screen and there was no trace of them.

"What's going on?"

Yutong Lingno also cried out when she saw this scene. This is normal, because this alley has a camera at the entrance and exit, which is mainly used to monitor the intersection, so there will be a blind spot in the middle of the alley. Although it is a blind spot, it is actually only a few meters. In theory, if a person disappears from the sight of camera A, then he only needs to walk five or six steps at most to reach the eyes of camera B.

However, after these men and women disappeared from the shooting range of camera A, several minutes have passed, but they have not been seen in the shooting range of another camera B!

"This, this is............!"

"Let's go."

Before Xitong Lingnai could react, Duanmu Huai had already stood up and walked towards the elevator.

"It's time to act."
