Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"Are people missing?"

In this era where almost no secrets exist, finding someone is incredibly easy, and missing persons cases, which used to be so prevalent, are now rare. Surveillance is ubiquitous, and personal information is readily available.

Lin Yan also remembered that missing persons were a common occurrence in his world, such as cases of missing children, which were cases of abduction and trafficking.

Approximately 20 children go missing each year, but only 0.1% are ever found. This means that child abduction occurs every day on average. Only 0.1% of rescued children are reunited with their parents. The others either die in accidents, are too young, or cannot be found.

Among them was the sensational "Aunt Mei trafficking case".

"Kimiko Hayama, 32 years old, single, with no fixed occupation. He is taciturn and rarely talks to others. He always keeps to himself and has almost no close relatives or friends, which makes our investigation difficult."

Ginoza said.

"Unemployed people... Are there still people who don't have jobs?" Tsunemori Akane's worldview was once again shaken. Although she had already seen the abandoned area, where many people were unemployed and unstable factors in this society.

"But this is a residential area in a society governed by the rule of law, not one of those abandoned places... Why..."

But this is indeed an ordinary residential area.

How could the people living here be unemployed vagrants?

“We investigated this person’s personal accounts and found that he could receive huge sums of money from the affiliated companies that provided the services, which would have little impact on his life.”

Ginoza explained.

Teng gave a meaningful smile and whistled.

"With such a large sum of money, and it's all earned effortlessly, who would want to go out and work and be bossed around? Only a fool would do that."

Teng said.

This is quite true.

A life free from worries about food and clothing can indeed make many people give up their jobs. After all, no matter what kind of job it is, you have to be ordered around, restricted, and bound by rules and regulations. You also have to put in the effort and even encounter unhappy or unpleasant things. Of course, it's not as good as being carefree and independent.

I can sleep until I naturally wake up every day and do whatever I want.

"Could it be that he went on a trip? That's a possibility. Maybe he's on a round-the-world trip, or maybe he wants to stay in a certain place for a while..." Tsunemori Akane guessed. She really couldn't think of any other reason why someone could disappear for so long.

"impossible."

This idea was immediately rejected by Ginoza.

“Once he leaves the room, he will be recorded by street scanning. As an inspector, you should know that this is a city, and street scanning is so dense and widespread. It is very difficult to avoid street scanning... And the strangest thing is that his account has not had any spending records in the past two months.”

Street scanning did not capture it.

The account has no transaction history.

How did this person manage to do that? It's like they vanished into thin air. If they were truly a tourist, there would be no need to avoid street scanning, and it's impossible for them to have no spending records.

Therefore, Tsunemori Akane's conjecture is completely unfounded.

After all.

Tsunemori Akane was still an inexperienced surveillance officer.

"Just die."

Lin Yan's words were simple and direct, and Teng agreed with them: "Perhaps this Ye Shan has really been murdered."

A pair of sharp eyes flickered, and Ginoza adjusted his glasses. "We haven't gathered enough information yet, so let's not jump to conclusions."

cautious.

Be even more cautious.

This is Ginoza's style of doing things; he will never draw any conclusions lightly without seeing the evidence with his own eyes or meeting Hayama in person.

"Is the interior projector broken?" Lin Yan asked seemingly casually. It seemed that no one else had considered this question before. It was common sense that no home or building was without an interior projector.

common sense.

These became details that were easily overlooked.

"Oh, I'll try."

Ginoza found the panel manual operation and opened the system.

In an instant, the layout and atmosphere of the entire room underwent a dramatic transformation, turning the originally cold and even somewhat morgue-like room into a magnificent and luxurious space.

This room now feels like a normal room, a completely different world from the previous one. From the luxurious velvet carpet to the crystal chandelier, everything exudes opulence. However, a closer look reveals differences, or rather, glaring details.

That was an isolated sofa.

The projection was slightly offset.

"What's going on? Why doesn't this sofa have a projector?"

Tsunemori stared at the unusual sofa, her face full of confusion; it certainly seemed out of place.

"The projection is just decoration after all. It can only be used if it overlaps with the real chair." As he spoke, Lin Yan sat down on the sofa. In fact, everyone could have guessed what he was trying to say; he just wanted to sit down.

At this point, noise was generated in the projection.

"This sofa has clearly been moved."

"I see……"

Ginoza turned off the projector, and the luxurious room instantly vanished, leaving it quiet and lifeless once more.

Teng and Yiye moved the sofa.

Lin Yan bent down and tapped the floor, and the sound from the floor was normal, except for a scratch on the floor.

Ginoza was also observing.

"Is it to cover up this scar?"

"That's it?"

Lin Yan expressed his doubts.

He shook his head.

"Let the forensic machine scan and determine if a fight has taken place here. There will definitely be subtle evidence left behind, such as human skin tissue, small nail fragments, or hair, which can all become clues for our investigation."

He carefully observed every detail.

Those sharp eyes gleamed with a keen light, shining like a kind star in the darkness.

In the corner, he found a piece of leftover tape.

"Just as I guessed."

"……what happened?"

"The methods used to make Hayama Kimihiko disappear from this room without a trace are nothing more than bloodless killings such as strangulation, poisoning, and electrocution..." Lin Yan spread his arms and looked around, then said, "If the entire room is well protected, for example, by laying down soluble paper, and then carefully disintegrating the body until it can be flushed down the sewer, then a person can disappear into thin air without anyone noticing. Although it is a bit troublesome, it can be done quietly without leaving any evidence."

A wave of nausea washed over her, and Tsunemori hurriedly ran away, intending to go to the restroom but then backed out, dry heaving to the side. The bloody, horrific scene was already flashing through her mind; how could this naive young girl possibly withstand such a shock?

Think about it carefully.

He also felt that Lin Yan's analysis made a lot of sense.

This is the only way to make someone disappear without anyone noticing; otherwise, even if they are put in a bag, they will definitely not escape being captured by street scanners.

At this moment, Lin Yan fell into deep thought, then suddenly spoke up, "It's strangulation."

If it was a confrontation, more traces would be left. "If it was an attack from behind, then scratches would likely be left on the ground. Such a perpetrator must be bold, meticulous, and knowledgeable. The fact that he left a small flaw could be due to a lack of experience, or perhaps it was his first time committing a crime."

"We cannot make a judgment without evidence."

Ginoza maintained the same attitude; he would not make a judgment easily before seeing concrete evidence. To call it caution was actually a bit too stubborn.

"Conquering the land...it should be a piece of cake for him, right? Gino, you know nothing about a hunting dog's sense of smell."

"you……"

Ginoza tried to stop it, but it was too late.

"Since you say it's dismemberment, then check the sewers. If that's the case, you'll definitely find something." Ginoza was actually burning with anger inside, wishing he could have a good argument with Lin Yan right now, but he suppressed his anger and maintained a calm exterior.

He took the intelligence terminal and walked out of the room.

Teng turned on the computer.

"That's that guy's online avatar, right?" Lin Yan was referring to Ye Shan's online virtual avatar. Chang Shouzhu looked over and her eyes showed surprise. It was Talisman.

“talisman……is it…”

"do you know?"

“No…not really…” Tsunemori Akane nodded and shook her head, which puzzled those around her. She continued, “I’ve seen this image before.”

"When?"

"This morning..."

If Hayama Kimihiko had already been murdered, then why would he have seen his virtual avatar—talisman—at that time? This was a contradiction in itself, and Lin Yan began to have doubts. Had something gone wrong in his reasoning? Although he could see this problem from a god-like perspective and learn about this unfamiliar world through the system, he still had doubts.

But Lin Yan did not do that.

after all--

Sometimes, the real fun lies in exploring slowly.

……

Comprehensive Analysis Class Laboratory.

The criminal investigation team was all gathered together, and Tang Zhidu Zhien looked solemn. After a moment of contemplation, he continued, "Based on the results of our lovely forensic machine, we have discovered abandoned dismembered remains, so Lin Yan's professional judgment is beyond doubt... Please give a round of applause."

applause.

Teng was the one who took the most photos.

"That's the key point. Since Ye Shan is dead, who is managing his virtual avatar and making such a fuss about it?" Rokugozuka said, stroking his chin. This was indeed the point of doubt for everyone.

Who would use a virtual avatar whose owner is already dead?

Won't that just cause a lot of trouble?

"Could this become a new urban legend..." Teng said with a grin. Rather than calling it an urban legend, it's better to consider some more realistic scenarios, such as who might have replaced Ye Shan in using this virtual avatar.

"Before his disappearance, Hayama had used a disguised IP address for various purposes. The various accounts of his virtual avatars were also made more coded and complex. Therefore, it is still uncertain who used his account. Although it can be done with time... it is probably not guaranteed that this will become a clue in the case."

"What about tracing the connecting lines?"

"You could try, but..."

Tang Zhidu operated the computer with one hand, while holding a cigarette in his right hand, skillfully smoking it, looking quite content.

“There are signs of an agent involved. These gray areas are mostly used for counter-intelligence... We can’t alert them. This is our only clue.”

"Is he really stupid to use this virtual image of Yeshan so openly, or is he just trying to cover it up?" Teng, with a lollipop in his mouth, winked at Tsunemori Akane. This guy really never sits still for a moment.

“Even so, he is the prime suspect. Perhaps we can find clues on this guy…” Lin Yan had a hunch that the person using Ye Shan’s virtual avatar was definitely the prime suspect, without a doubt.

"Or we could avoid alerting them and contact them using virtual avatars, perhaps... we could follow the clues and find the source..."

Lin Yan continued.

This plan was approved by everyone, especially Ginoza, who nodded and said, "Good, we'll proceed with this plan. But who should be in charge of implementing it and making contact with Hayama?"

"Yeah, who's going to do it?"

"who?"

Almost everyone raised this question at the same time: now that the plan has been finalized, who will actually implement it?

After some discussion, the personnel for this operation were finally determined.

Inside the medical room.

All equipment is ready.
