13 kg.

13000 grams.

No one knows what kind of weight, what size, or even what form the so-called Scarlet Beast exists.

Chu Zhiyong didn't want to say anything more about this, changed into casual clothes and left the unit.

"Let's go back to each unit to check the working environment and accommodation, and then gather for dinner?" Qin Ci's suggestion was approved by everyone, and then they unanimously set the "meal" location at a cafeteria next to the police station.

So Qin Ci took his newly-accepted apprentices Ji Sun, Su Benxin and Yu Ji to the central hospital.

Zhao Yanbao took Chi Lei and Zhu Haowen to the Cocoon detective office to report.

The remaining police officers: Ke Xun and Mu Yiran from the Criminal Investigation Department, Lion and Xiao Qinxian from the Forensic Department, and Wei Dong from the Household Registration Department.

At this moment, the five people looked at Rowe who was "homeless" a little blankly.

"You were left? Why didn't you say anything just now?" Wei Dong even thought of using his position in the household registration department to get a temporary job for his partner.

Rowe took out his credentials, and saw a few words written in the work column: freelance.

Different from the round red badges of everyone’s ‘Heart City Central Police Station’, Rowe’s work permit is stamped with an eye-catching rectangular square stamp, and the red letter on it reads: Outside the heart city area.

"What does this mean? Why didn't you just ask?" Wei Dong was anxious.

Rowe still maintained his usual calm: "I asked, but no one seemed to hear it at the time."

Ke Xun also found it strange that when the old policeman was assigning work just now, he broke his fingers and followed the count of the number. He clearly counted thirteen, but he still dropped Rowe.

Mu Yiran pondered: "It seems that Rowe is a special character in this game."

No one can guess what is special at present. Rowe himself can’t say it well, but his words afterwards make everyone a little heavy: “Chu Zhiyong didn’t tell us whether the so-called Scarlet Beast is inside or outside the city.”

"Since our work is arranged in the city, the Scarlet Beast is naturally within our work range." Ke Xun looked at his companion, "Even if the beast runs out of the city, it's not like you. Freelance?"

Xiao Qinxian held his thin arms and stood aside: "If this is really an endless stream game, then the prey is likely to be hidden among us, and it has hidden characteristics different from everyone."

This statement seems to be alluding.

"Suspiciousness is a big taboo of teamwork." Mu Yiran didn't look at Xiao Qinxian, but his serious tone had silenced him, "Everyone go to the dormitory first."

There are three dormitories, divided according to departments, each with two single beds.

"My buddy, don't you mind if three people share a house?" Wei Dong asked Lion, planning to move a bed to make a triple room.

Lion spoke with a slight accent of crooked nuts and said, "Du Keyi, oh, I used to sleep with a group of snow-horned deer on an ice field. In contrast, the environment in Zheli is simply heaven."

Xiao Qinxian puckered his mouth secretly. Just now, he was still complaining that these rooms were too simple and smelled of smoke.

So, Mu Yiran and Ke Xun, the two criminal investigation departments, lived in one, Xiao Qinxian lived in one by himself, and the other three men lived in one.

Ke Xun looked at the police uniform hung on the wall of the dormitory. I don't know when it had been put on the work bronze medal, with his name and a string of codes written on it. Ke Xun put on his uniform and tried it. The size was just right.

It's a pity that there is no full-length mirror in the room. Ke Xun buttoned on and looked at himself: "This is the first time I wore a police uniform. It is the realization of my childhood dream..."

Ke Xun saw that Mu Yiran didn't make a sound, so he turned around and saw that the other party was looking at him for an instant.

"You put it on and show me." Ke Xun involuntarily said that he put another uniform on the wall on Mu Yiran. Even if he was not dressed neatly, it instantly added a rare heroic spirit, which made his heart jump.

Mu Yiran's hand effectively stopped Ke Xun from continuing to dress himself, and his voice was slightly muted: "There will be business in a while."

"Self-denial" has always been one of Mu Yiran's characteristics that attracted Ke Xun. Now the other party is wearing a police uniform with a clear eye, but he speaks forbidden words in an undoubted tone. The charm value simply bursts into the universe canopy.

Ke Xun touched his waist and wanted to make a gun action to further "coerce" the opponent, but he actually took out a pistol. The cold, hard touch made people suddenly alert.

Mu Yiran also took out his gun and took a closer look: "The gun is live."

"Is it more excited with a gun?" Ke Xun touched the gun, softening the slightly nervous atmosphere.

There was a knock on the door, and then Wei Dong was seen pushing the door in, walking in and covering his eyes: "What are the two bad policemen, I haven't seen anything."

Ke Xun stood up: "We have guns, raise our hands."

Wei Dong's gaze came through his wide fingers: "It's too unfair for me to rely on. Why do you have a gun but I only have a ballpoint pen! The oil is almost running out."

Ke Xun discovered that Wei Dong was also wearing a police uniform: "You have the temperament of Xiao Zhang like this."

"Which Xiao Zhang?" When Wei Dong was thinking about whether it was Zhang Dongjian or Zhang Yixing, he heard the other person say: "Just that, the policewoman from the household registration department, is it Zhang?"

Well, it was so easy for me to wear police uniforms and actually wear out the temperament of a female policewoman in the household registration department. This is no one.

Lion also stood at the door and interjected: "Wow, we have one more white coat than Nimen, and one more pair of domestic latex powder-free gloves."

Wei Dong nodded: "You made it."

After some preparations, everyone changed back to their previous casual clothes, and a group of six people came to the cafeteria opposite the police station.

"Careful analysis, many things here are not standardized," Rowe said of his own thoughts, "For example, this police station, the agency settings inside are very confusing, it is not clear whether it is the police station or the criminal police team, the clothing and the police badge. Not quite right."

"This is the heart city, which cannot be measured by normal standards." Ke Xun said.

This is in the painting, and all the irrationalities are explained.

Rowe thought of the wild cartoon setting in the previous painting. At this moment, the real sense of the city is really hard to find.

"Oh I thought I was still in China," Lion looked at the restaurant's Chinese-style decoration. "Oh, I want to eat snail noodles with soy milk."

"Your mouth is quite heavy." Wei Dong patted his international friend on the shoulder.

A few minutes later, the other two groups arrived. Qin Ci looked at the cash register: "We don't have cash. Everyone has only one card in their pocket."

Everyone is the same, so they use their cards to spend.

The waiter took the Qin Ci card and swiped it: "Your card has a limit of 40 consumptions, and now there are 39 remaining."

39 times, starting from tomorrow morning, if you eat three meals a day, you can eat a total of 13 days.

"Did you find it? There is no price at all, and it is completely card consumption." Mori girl Chi Lei whispered, "That is to say, after 13 days, our consumption quota is used up, it is simply difficult to move."

Mu Yiran waited for a while at the checkout counter, and then walked towards the table after hearing that Rowe's consumption quota was the same as everyone's.

Now that the meal was over, there were very few people eating. Everyone sat down at the largest round table and talked while eating.

Although the current situation is a bit weird, these newcomers have not experienced real danger after all, so they still have a lot of appetite when they are tired.

When Xiao Qinxian heard that the dormitory of the hospital is a high-end apartment, and that the dormitory of the detective's office is located on the second floor of a garden villa, he felt a little sigh: "Our place is small and cloudy, and it has a bad smell."

"We'd better find some clues before dark, even if there are clues." Qin Ci brought the words to the topic.

Although it is often novices who die the first night, old members do not want to speculate the rules through death cases.

"At present, our professional scope is very concentrated: police station, hospital, detective agency," Rowe is speaking this time. "Obviously there will be cases here, and they are criminal cases involving criminal investigation and forensic medicine."

Everyone thought it made some sense, only Xiao Qinxian smiled slightly: "These are just speculations. The task we have to accomplish is actually already clear, and that is to find the Scarlet Beast." He turned his gaze to Rowe unceremoniously. , "I didn't understand why the old police spoke to us covertly, until I realized that someone was not a local, and if this person was present, there were some things that I could not say clearly."

A few people outside the police station were stunned by one sentence, and only Zhao Yanbao said: "I went back to the inspection office. Only twelve people were assigned to work. What about the other person?"

Xiao Qinxian sneered: "I don't understand why these people want to cover up for him. His ID shows that he is an outsider. I really don't know which organization he belongs to. We have an outsider present in our conversation today. what happened."

Rowe wasn't annoyed, but generously put his credentials on the table for others to see.

Zhao Yanbao carefully observed it again: "Outside the heart city area? Freelancers? Does this mean that once the beast leaves the heart city, we can also go outside to hunt? Rowe is exactly this person with a special identity."

Xiao Qinxian interrupted Zhao Yanbao: "Are you really when the Scarlet Beast is a physical beast such as a tiger and leopard? I think this is a game similar to Xman. We need to find out the alien."

Ke Xun and Wei Dong were uncomfortable hearing these words. They were about to push each other back, but they listened to Zhu Haowen slowly saying: "At present, it is certain that the Scarlet Beast is 13 kg, which is 26 kg. What the lady said, if this beast is really among us, it will not be too heavy, it should be the lightest one."

Xiao Qinxian looked down at his thin body, startled with anger.

Everyone had different expressions for a while, and they didn't speak, but ate their food.

Mu Yiran, who finally broke his silence, turned his gaze to Su Benxin, who was sitting opposite: "Does Boss Su know about the painter Yubei Country? The painting "The Scarlet Beast" is not for sale in the art gallery. There should be a reason. Right."

Su Benxin did not immediately answer, his eyes darkened slightly: "This painter has passed away, and "The Scarlet Beast" is the last work of his life."

"Departure?"

"Yes, Yubei Country died two months ago."
