When she was attacked by the power of Nagasaki Soyo's mental imagery, Toyokawa Shoko experienced the power of mental imagery that was enough to completely deceive the senses and reach the mind to shape dreams.

This gave Shoko Toyokawa a good reference for creating a machine that stimulates nerves to simulate reality and create a virtual world.

Although when it is actually used on Yutenji Wakamugi, the scene created still has many loopholes and the scene transitions are extremely unnatural.

But this is also a huge progress made by Shoko Toyokawa in the organic combination of further development of her own mental imagery and the techniques she has mastered.

Besides... this kind of equipment that can create realistic illusions actually has more uses than just simulated combat...

Shoko Toyokawa considered the feasibility in her mind and came up with a new plan.

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 172: Detective Case

"Silver debris..." Nagasaki Suyo picked up a piece of silver-gray debris as big as a fingernail from the ground with some charred marks, pinched it between her fingers, and observed it carefully in front of her eyes.

"That's right, this is nitrocellulose." Nagasaki Suyo said to Kaname Lenai beside her.

When the fire incident in the harbor area had basically been settled, the "bass" Nagasaki Suyo of the Lost Group and the "guitar" Kaname Lenai of the team once again came to the harbor area.

Of course, they didn't come here today to hang out in such a place, but Nagasaki Suyo, as the "Best" in the team, came to the harbor area together with Kaname Lenai, who had witnessed some strange things in previous incidents, to conduct further clue investigation.

At this moment, they were near the house where the two had encountered the ninja before, and where Yao Le Na had seen the man who looked like a "firefighter" adding fuel to the fire.

The combination of "Bass" and "Guitar", who are both familiar with flammable materials, are naturally the most suitable candidates to investigate in this direction.

Compared to the practical ninja Kaname Rakuna who is proficient in using various flammable materials, Nagasaki Suyo is more sensitive to various "unique" items because she was previously involved in the distribution and sales of materials for Nagasaki Industry.

For example, the nitrocellulose found at a fire scene is definitely not the kind produced by burning wood-fired houses.

According to Nagasaki Suyo's understanding of construction wood, wooden building materials are more likely to produce carbonized ashes after burning - which are the remains of most of the burned houses in this area.

However, the place found by Nagasaki Motoyo and Kaname Rakuna at this time had some remains that were obviously not the result of normal wood burning.

Moreover, based on the silver honeycomb shape of the debris, the possibility of it being a plastic product can be ruled out.

Nitrocellulose is a very dangerous substance. Even in New Tokyo, it is a dangerous chemical that requires special transportation conditions.

According to Nagasaki Suyo's understanding, this thing can be widely used in military incendiary agents.

Its fiber mesh structure can wrap liquid combustion agent to form a gel state, while providing a continuous oxygen supply environment.

Normally, there shouldn't be any remnants of this kind of stuff in a fire in a residential area.

This thing not only catalyzes combustion reactions, but it is also an excellent combustible material itself. It can quickly release a large amount of heat energy when decomposing, quickly raising the temperature of the burning flame to over 2,000 degrees Celsius!

"No wonder such a big fire could start, sweeping across the entire area of ​​New Tokyo in an instant." Nagasaki Suyo said with emotion.

Then, Nagasaki Suyo used a black cloth to block the light next to the debris, turned on the built-in flashlight in her mobile phone, and shone a dim light on the silver-gray debris left over from the burning.

Sure enough, in the shaded environment, the debris showed a faint blue light.

This is the phosphorescence effect of nitrate.

From a physical point of view, the residue after combustion is undoubtedly derived from the combustion products of nitrocellulose.

If military incendiary agents mixed with nitrocellulose were involved, there would be a good explanation for why the fire in the harbor area spread so quickly.

Nitrocellulose is powerful enough to make smokeless gunpowder, and its strong combustion properties are enough to cause a catastrophic fire in a short period of time.

Moreover, there will not even be any obvious smoke produced in the early stages of combustion, which is enough to allow the fire to spread rapidly without being noticed.

Normally, the spread of a normal fire, even in an environment like the harbor area where many wooden houses are used, has a limit, and it will not be as uncontrollable as the previous fire in the harbor area.

Nagasaki Suyo frowned in thought and asked Kaname Lenai, "Lena, do you remember the specific origins and transportation methods of those people you met? Is there anything special about them?"

Yao Le Nai shook her head. At that time, she was only concerned with finding clues about "ninja" and did not pay attention to such details.

Just being able to remember the location where strange people were seen appearing in the harbor area and bringing Nagasaki Suyo here afterwards was already a good thing to be able to find this special burning residue.

Rather, it was fortunate that Kaname Rakuna and Nagasaki Suyo were able to arrive at this place so quickly to conduct another investigation.

if not……

This residue produced by the burning of nitrocellulose will quickly dissolve and disappear without a trace when it comes into contact with water.

If it rains in the harbor area, the crucial information that can be found in the burning residue will be destroyed.

Of course, the climate in this area is indeed quite dry now.

At least there is no sign of rain in the next two days.

"Lena, let's stop here for now." Nagasaki Motoyo put away her phone and carefully put the debris into the glass bottle she brought with her.

The harbor area is now in a state of disrepair and reconstruction work is in full swing. There are many people and eyes, so Nagasaki Suyo and Yao Lena must be cautious when they come here today. There is no need to stay in this place for too long, so as not to attract unnecessary attention and alert the enemy.

Nagasaki Suyo and Kaname Rakuna rode in an inconspicuous black car and quietly drove away from the harbor area.

Outside the car window, the wreckage of buildings ravaged by flames looked like giant black beasts, silently telling the tragedy of yesterday.

While driving the car, Nagasaki Suyo was thinking about the next direction of investigation in her mind.

At least this special burning residue that appeared in the harbor area has pointed out a good starting point for Su Shi's investigation.

Since such flammable and dangerous goods can be obtained, the fire incidents in the harbor area must involve the participation of chemical or military-related companies.

Fortunately, because the combustion residue will dissolve in water, the other party will not care too much about the disposal of the residue, giving Nagasaki Suyo and Kaname Lenai the opportunity to track them later.

Even in this rainless weather, the combustion residue will deliquesce in the air.

If the municipal staff in the harbor area had delayed their investigation even a little, it would have been impossible to find such residues at that time.

In this way, those behind the Harbor District fire would not leave any evidence that could be traced back to them.

Of course, at this moment, even without the intervention of departments representing social justice, the Mi Zi group, as gang members, are already digging out the truth behind this incident.

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 173: Further Exploration and Report

In the Lost Child Group's meeting room, Nagasaki Motoyo was using a tablet computer to browse information about a company that produces highly dangerous chemical products such as nitrocellulose.

Nagasaki Motoyo's fingers tapped and slid across the screen of her tablet computer, selecting chemical companies that had conflicts of interest with insurance companies, such as equity holdings, and filling the names of these companies into a spreadsheet.

At the same time, the door to the Lost Group's meeting room in RING was opened, and Takamatsu Touma, Shiina Tatsuki, and Chihaya Aine walked in.

All three of them looked a little tired.

While Nagasaki Motoyo and Kaname Rakuna were investigating the disaster site, Takamatsu Touma, Chihaya Aine and Shiina Riki were also busy collecting information from the fire brigade of the Emergency Management Bureau of the Port District.

After Nagasaki Suyo and Kaname Rakuna found evidence of the use of dangerous chemical products in the port area, they told this to their colleagues who were investigating matters related to the fire department.

Therefore, the focus of the investigation by these members of the Lost Child group shifted to checking the movements of fire trucks during the period of the fire in the Harbor District.

As for why there is a sudden need to check the movements of the fire truck?

This shift in focus may seem a bit too sudden to many people.

However, this is actually a reasonable direction of investigation for the members of the Lost Child Group.

After realizing that the fire in the harbor area was caused by the use of a combustible containing nitrocellulose, Nagasaki Suyo believed that this combustible also required good transportation conditions in order to quickly spread the fire to the entire area when a fire occurred.

Nagasaki Suyo initially speculated that those who started the fire in the area were not the kind of pyromaniacs who had lost their minds and enjoyed starting fires.

Therefore, while ensuring mobility and concealment, there is also a need for a relatively safe and reliable way to transport and use nitrification combustion aids.

As for the mode of transportation...

This matter was quickly agreed upon by several people in the Lost Child group during their discussion.

Of course it’s a fire truck!

It is really ironic that after this disaster, the disaster-relief equipment that was used to save people from the fire disaster was actually deemed by a few gang members to be the best accomplice in setting fire to the city.

There is no way, the fire truck is simply the most suitable equipment for loading and spreading combustible liquids.

All you need to do is replace the "fire foam additive" used by fire trucks to extinguish fires with a combustion agent containing nitrocellulose that can quickly ignite flames. The rescue equipment that can save lives can be seamlessly transformed into a flame-spreading death god.

Therefore, several members of the Lost Group, who had already had doubts about the fire brigade under the Emergency Management Bureau of the New Tokyo Port District, immediately decided to check their fire-fighting equipment.

Of course, as female high school students, the three of them have no authority to do such a thing.

After all, this is the fire station! Is it your place to mess with public property?

Fortunately, Chihaya Aine, Takamatsu Touma and Shiina Tatsuki are not ordinary young students after all.

As gang members, they naturally don't care whether what they do complies with the management regulations and rules.

The three of them directly chose to sneak into the garage where the fire trucks were parked at the Haigang District Emergency Management Bureau, and carried out the investigation they wanted in the form of illegal intrusion.

This time the investigation went smoothly, but it was a little tedious.

The three of them first completed the investigation of the building layout of the Emergency Management Bureau, and then Chihaya Aine went to steal and investigate the use and dispatch records of fire trucks on the day of the fire in the Harbor District and in the days before.

Takamatsu Deng and Shiina Riki were to forcibly enter the material warehouse of the Emergency Management Bureau Fire Department.

Finally, the three of them went together to find the more suspicious fire water tankers parked in the garage.

Although the fire brigade did not have any strict defenses, the few of them did not encounter any situations that required a fierce battle.

However, in order to maintain secrecy and prevent the whereabouts of the three-person team from being noticed, this undercover investigation is still rather troublesome.

The person among the three who was least adapted to this kind of action was actually Shiina Tatsuki. After all, the requirements of this action were to avoid unnecessary battles as much as possible, and also to act as secretly as possible without exposing their whereabouts.

Chihaya Aine is particularly adaptable to this kind of stealthy action, after all, she is already a veteran in this area.

During this operation, Aine also served as the action guide and taught Takamatsu Touma and Shiina Riki some tips on how to hide their bodies.

As for the final action, it actually went quite smoothly.

Needless to say, for Chihaya Aine, a thief who was already accustomed to breaking into houses and picking locks, this action was just a repetition of some skills that she had already mastered.

As for Shiina Riki and Takamatsu Touma, there were several times when they were almost seen sneaking in.

Fortunately, as a mind-awakener, Takamatsu Deng's ability of [Lost Star] is quite convenient.

Takamatsu Deng used his ability to move objects through the air, cleverly creating cover for the two of them and blocking any sight that might be looking at them.

Compared to bullets that are fast and have great momentum, it is actually not very difficult for Takamatsu Deng to move some objects that are not too heavy.

Although he was used to changing the trajectory of light objects such as bullets, Gao Songdeng's application of mental imagery was unexpectedly smooth when moving heavier objects.

This may also be due to the fact that Takamatsu Deng's mental imagery power has grown through so many events and battles.

In short, during this operation to infiltrate the Emergency Management Bureau in the harbor area, Chihaya Aine, Takamatsu Touma and Shiina Riki finally successfully completed a secret investigation.

As for the results of the investigation...

There is no doubt that among the personnel of the fire brigade of the Emergency Management Bureau of Haigang District, there are people who are closely related to the fire in Haigang District!

In the water tanks of several fire trucks parked in the garage, the three found traces of "incendiary agent"!

It would be a bit of a misrepresentation not to call the tanks of those fire trucks "water tanks."

After all, it is a double-layer stainless steel tank, and the interlayer is filled with a large amount of inert gas as a protective measure.

Normal fire trucks will never be equipped with such "high-end stuff" with excess performance.

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 174: Heartfelt Destiny

Chihaya Aine hasn't had much gang work to do these past few days.

After all, it had been previously investigated that there were indeed people within the fire brigade of the Haigang District Emergency Management Bureau who had deep connections with the Haigang District fire, so the progress of the investigation from this aspect had basically come to an end.

Under the current circumstances, the best that can be done is to directly find out those firefighting members who carried out the arson operation in the harbor area.

If it is out of justice, perhaps it would be a good choice to directly expose the list of these people at this step.

After all, in this way, the true faces of those ugly people who set fire to the city and caused many people in the port area to lose their homes and even their lives in that short period of time will be known to more people.

Of course, at this point, further investigation into the forces behind the scenes can be said to have come to an abrupt halt.

It is foreseeable that after directly exposing these "firefighters" who committed arson, this entire group of people will be quickly sent to prison due to the current high attention of the Harbour District fire incident.

This is certainly a good thing.

Judging from the current situation, the Lost Child Group only needs to expose this incident on any media platform in the name of "anonymous insiders", and these beastly guys will immediately receive a punishment that is enough to be called "disgrace".

In this way, those who caused the disaster to countless people in the harbor area can receive some of the punishment they deserve.

Moreover, as the whistleblower of such explosive news, the Lost Child Group can also receive a large amount of information fees from the media that want to publish this news.

Unfortunately, the five members of the Lost Group did not choose to do so.

The reason is very simple. If it is just to vent one's anger, it is enough to disclose the information of these executive-level people. It can even bring a considerable amount of financial compensation to the five members of the Lost Group.
