In parks and abandoned dark alley corners, frozen bodies were placed in body bags.

Multiple corpses appeared one after another, but there was no solemnity or seriousness on the faces of the people. There were only sighs and mourning when looking at these corpses.

These people did not die from being killed by someone, but from the cold wave that just hit yesterday.

Unlike the first body found, the well-dressed young man, these people all have one thing in common - they are homeless.

They were homeless and didn't have enough warm clothes. In the freezing temperature last night, they eventually lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

It may be hard to imagine, but this is indeed a problem in Neon.

These homeless people are all people who went bankrupt in those years. Some of them may have been wealthy or popular.

But after that night, they could only be nameless homeless people who dared not show themselves in front of the world and could only hide in the dark corners of society and survive.

Then, in today's abnormal cold wave, they finally came to an end, and the days without a clear future also came to an end.

"Why..."

They don't know what to say to these people. In fact, Japan has charities and volunteer groups dedicated to helping them. If they had asked for help, they would definitely not have ended up like this.

But they were too scared, so even when they encountered a cold wave that was rare in several years, they chose not to ask for help.

After Karasawa and his team returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, they also received specific information from Officer Megure about the number of deaths caused by the cold wave.

Apart from the unlucky guy who was suspected to be drunk, the other seven people who froze to death were all ragged homeless people.

But no matter what their status was during their lifetime, everything returned to dust after death.

Even though we know that there is a high probability that the eight people froze to death due to the cold wave, the necessary procedures cannot be disrupted.

After all, so many people died at once. Even if you know it is a fact, you need sufficient evidence to support it before you can characterize it. Otherwise, no one can take responsibility if something goes wrong.

The fact that so many people froze to death at once did attract the attention of the Metropolitan Police Department, who were also afraid that someone had committed a crime and taken the opportunity to mix in the bodies to make it look like an accident.

Therefore, the eight frozen bodies were dissected almost simultaneously in the morning. Due to lack of manpower, some of the bodies were even transported to the medical university to ask some professors who had cooperated with the Metropolitan Police Department to help.

The purpose is to find out the truth as soon as possible. If everyone really died from the cold wave, the Metropolitan Police Department will immediately announce it to the public. And if anyone takes advantage of the situation to commit a crime, they will never be let off!

Because the autopsy also takes time, after receiving all the bodies and collecting evidence, Tang Ze and others returned to the office to wait for the autopsy report.

“It’s so cold…”

As soon as he got back to the office, Takagi immediately ran to the air conditioner to warm himself up. "I feel like I'm in a refrigerator today... How many degrees is it?"

"About four or five degrees below zero." Tang Ze searched today's temperature on the computer and replied.

“It’s so cold!?”

Gao Mu shuddered involuntarily after hearing the temperature. "No wonder so many people froze to death. It's daytime and the sun is out, and the temperature is still this high. Wouldn't it be even colder at night?"

"yes."

Miwako Sato looked at Takagi unhappily and said, "I told you it was going to get colder, and you were still wearing such thin clothes."

"Hehe..." Gao Mu scratched his head embarrassedly: "I thought about you coming to pick me up today, and I forgot about it in a panic."

"You're so smooth-talking!" Sato Miwako gave Takagi a cold look, but anyone could see that the two were showing off their affection in public.

Of course, as an engaged man, he was not among the abused singles. Instead, Chiba next to him suffered hundreds of times the critical damage.

It's a good thing that Shiratori followed Inspector Megure and led another team out. There was a homeless man who froze to death and was too far away, so they haven't returned yet. Otherwise, seeing this scene, I'm afraid I would have turned black directly...

At noon, everyone naturally had lunch in the restaurant. Soon after everyone had filled their stomachs, Uncle Dengmi called and asked Tang Ze and others to come and get the autopsy report.

This was because there must be something wrong with the first body they found and the bodies of the other homeless people.

As for what's wrong...

"What?! You said your heart is frozen!?"

After listening to Uncle Tomi's report, Takagi and Sato Miwako couldn't help but scream, and even Karasawa couldn't help but frowned.

"Is it really this cold?" Gao Mu shuddered involuntarily. "Even the corpse's heart is frozen?"

"Hasn't this happened with other things?" Tang Ze confirmed again.

"No."

Uncle Dengmi shook his head and said, "This is why I called you here. There is alcohol in the deceased's body, and it can be confirmed that he had drunk alcohol before his death.

But part of his heart was frozen like jelly, while the other homeless people's hearts didn't have that condition."

"I remember that if someone froze to death, the ice would start from the outside of the body and then gradually spread to the blood and internal organs, right?"

Tang Ze frowned and looked at Uncle Dengmi: "So, Uncle, you think there's something wrong with this matter. Was it murder?"

It is normal for the other party to have such thoughts. After all, among the eight deaths in the accident, seven of the homeless people had no heart problems, and only the office worker Tatsuo Shimoda who died in a drunken accident had signs of a frozen heart.
