Chapter 280: Such An Amazing Person

Lu Siya stared at the wound for a long time before she looked at the other two corpses and asked skeptically, “Are you sure it was a one hit kill?”

“I’m 30% sure.” Meng Chao gestured about. “Based on the guesses on the forum, these biochemical pets were infected with mutated rabies or zombie virus, which is why they went completely out of control.

“Let’s say they were infected with mutated rabies. Think about it, what sort of state should they be in?

“That’s right. Their eyes should be red. They should growl and bare their teeth. They should look savage and subconsciously knock against walls and the door. In other words, they should look very terrifying.

“When their masters see their pets acting like this, would they stand around like idiots and wait for them to bite them? Of course they would struggle, run, or fight back.”

While Meng Chao spoke, he bared his teeth and pretended to lunge at Lu Siya.

“As they struggle fiercely, the biochemical pets’ central nervous systems would be severely affected. It would not be easy for them to find vital spots so accurately. Even if they manage to land a bite on a vital part, if the owners struggle fiercely, their wound would be in the shape of a tear, not a cut. There should be wounds on their limbs, and they should be severe, because if the owners were in a panic, they would have used their hands to block attacks and kicked at the monsters.”

Lu Siya nodded. She appeared contemplative. “What if the owner fell asleep?”

“A few days ago, Blessed Paradise went through a fog invasion, and a rat horde appeared in their area. Over the past few days, there were remnants of it running around. The residents are in a state of high alert, so they wouldn’t fall asleep so easily,” Meng Chao said.

“Even if the old man in his sixties and the woman in her forties had waning strength and did, the third victim was full of vigor and at the prime of his life. It’s impossible for him to sleep so deeply that he’d lose track of his surroundings and wouldn’t hear the growl of a beast.

“But look at the third victim’s throat. You can see this very precise cut.”

Under Meng Chao’s guidance, Lu Siya looked at the wound closely.

She frowned and said, “The flesh there has been completely eaten.”

“That’s right. That’s the key.” Meng Chao snapped his fingers and said excitedly, “After he was killed with just one blow, the pet noticed that the wound was too precise, so it decided to eat all the flesh around the wound. Even so, it left behind clues. Look at the spot between the two cervical vertebrae. Isn’t there a very faint laceration there? That’s a mark left by canine teeth!”

Lu Siya removed her sungla.s.ses.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled in the morgue.

She narrowed her eyes and observed for a moment before she nodded and said, “I can see it. It’s even thinner than a strand of hair, and it’s only half a millimeter long. I suppose you can consider this a laceration. So?”

“So, based on the depth of this laceration, the angle, the length, and various other factors, we can make an a.n.a.lysis and determine that this is definitely a perfect one hit kill!” Meng Chao said confidently.

“Are you really able to decipher so much information from this insanely small cut... no, this laceration?” Lu Siya asked skeptically. “Why can’t I tell the difference between this laceration and all the other wounds?”

“I can’t tell the difference between the hundreds of stones underground either. So, if you ask me to differentiate them, I would rather trust you when it comes to that,” Meng Chao said.

Lu Siya thought about it, nodded, and said, “Continue.”

“Next is the tears on the limbs,” Meng Chao said. “There is no doubt that there are a lot of tears on the limbs of the three corpses, but the tears on the third corpse are the lightest. Many of the tears were not done just once, and they overlap with a lot of bites.

“This means that while the third victim was still alive, he put up the lightest resistance. When he was attacked, there was no longer any strength left in his limbs, and he did not have any strength to fight back.

“He’s a middle-aged man at the prime of his life and a machine master who controls construction machines all year long, but you’re telling me that his resistance was weaker than that of an old man in his sixties and a woman in her forties when he ran into a monster attack? How could that be?

“It’s very simple to explain, though, because after the first attack that targeted his neck artery, spinal nerves and cervical vertebrae, he lost too much blood and his nerves were damaged. His limbs became weak, and he couldn’t launch any effective counterattacks.

“And here’s the interesting part. After the third victim died, the biochemical pet, which should have gone into berserk rage, seemed to have realized that it killed a little too cleanly and swiftly. So, it deliberately ate the flesh the fatal wound left on the victim’s neck and bit the tears on the limbs until they were a mess so that it could cover up that the tears were too light.

“But it ended up exposing more of its deeds the more it tried to cover them up. When the victim was alive, the wounds it left behind while it bit into the victim had slight differences compared to the wounds it left behind after the victim died. A normal person might not be able to tell, but it would definitely not be able to escape my eyes!”

Lu Siya cast a deep look at Meng Chao and mumbled, “Are you saying that this is a biochemical pet that knew how to destroy evidence and disguise the crime scene?”

“I don’t know whether it’s a biochemical pet or something else. I only know what the corpse told me.”

Meng Chao went to the other corpses and opened their abdominal cavities before he continued, “Last of all, look at the three corpses’ abdominal cavities. After killing the victims, the three biochemical pets started eating them. Their first target was definitely the soft and juicy organs. So, they ended up causing a mess in the victims’ organs, but don’t you think that the third victim’s organs are broken into even smaller bits and that the biochemical pet ate way more than necessary?”

Lu Siya frowned a little. “Ate more than necessary? What do you mean?”

“Let me put it this way. If we eat a steak the size of a palm, we will usually cut it into around twenty pieces. The smallest piece would be the size of a beef cube. Very few people would cut it hundreds of times and turn it into ground beef,” Meng Chao said. “I’ve researched the mouths, teeth, esophagus, and digestive organs of many canine-type monsters. I know the ideal amount of food for them.

“The first two biochemical pets might have gone mad, but the marks they left behind while they ate their food did not break out of the normal pattern for canine-type monsters.

“But the third victim’s abdominal cavity has been eaten until it’s a mess. Even so, there are still too many organs left. They haven’t been eaten by the biochemical pet, and that doesn’t make sense.”

Lu Siya sank into deep thought. “What do you think is the reason?”

“There are three reasons I can think of.” Meng Chao raised three fingers. “First, this biochemical pet doesn’t like eating organs, and this is just an imitation. It never went out of control like the other two biochemical pets, and everything it did was done while it was in perfect control of its body.

“Second, perhaps it has some sort of deep grudge with its owner, and that’s why it left its owner in such a mess. You can say that this is the same as humans when they cut up their hated enemies into thousands of pieces.

“Third, this is a cover. Regardless of whether it bit into the victim’s limbs or abdominal cavity, its goal was to wipe out the real wounds through the flesh that the victim would be sure to miss its attacks.”

As she listened to Meng Chao’s speech, Lu Siya could not hide the surprise and admiration in her eyes. She gasped in amazement. “Meng Chao, I’m beginning to be unable to get a read on you. I’m starting to really look forward to working with you.”

Meng Chao coughed dryly and said, “What I said just now is my opinion. I don’t have concrete proof. The experts from the other organizations can absolutely get completely different conclusions based on the same marks. Before we get to the truth, I can’t prove that my guess is correct.”

“It’s fine. I trust you,” Lu Siya said. “I can tell you three pieces of information. First, the three biochemical pets who went out of control were indeed infected with mutated rabies, and it’s a completely new subtype that has never been seen before.

“Second, the biochemical pets who attacked the first two victims have incredibly well hidden injection marks in their ear ca.n.a.ls. The third biochemical pet had the same virus, but there were no signs of injection in its ear ca.n.a.l.

“Third, this victim who was killed in one hit was a member of Heavenly Works Machines. The company he works for has been competing for an incredibly important deal with Spirit Creations Creatures, a company that modifies biochemical pets. The profit involved in this reaches such astronomical numbers that it’s enough to cause many people to go mad for it.”

Meng Chao was slightly stunned.

Lu Siya was really amazing. This was secret information, but within just one day, she managed to get a hold of it.

Also, the mutated rabies that the three biochemical pets were infected with were brand new subtypes? He did not know about it yesterday.

As he thought about this, Kindling flashed at the corner of his eyes, and a line of words appeared.

[Increased progress for the Mystery of the Supernatural Beings by 1%. Current progress: 2%. Increased contribution points by 500.]

‘My guess is right!’ Meng Chao became high-spirited. ‘The murder by pets in Blessed Paradise is indeed related to the Supernatural Beings!’

“We don’t have much time left. If you have something else to say, we can do that while we talk.” Lu Siya tapped her watch and said, “You’re right. There is value in examining this case in-depth. We will have to work hard to figure out the truth before the adjudicator court.”

Meng Chao hesitated for a while before he asked, “Can’t we give the adjudicator court this clue and work with the secret police?”

“The adjudicator court has always been displeased with the formation of the abnormal beast research department. They think that we’ve weakened their authority, so there’s no way they will work with us.”

Lu Siya cast a glance at Meng Chao. “As for you, the adjudicator court will definitely welcome you if you provide them with a clue, but who knows how much they will trust you? It’s also impossible for them to let a freshman like you to get involved.”

Meng Chao thought about it, and he felt that what Lu Siya said was logical.

If this were a normal case, he would be considered to have done the duty of a good citizen by providing the police, adjudicator court, the abnormal beast research department, or other such government organization with a clue.

But since this was related to the Supernatural Beings, he wanted to get closer to the truth.

After all, there might not be anyone else in this era who understood the Supernatural Beings more than he did.

“Let’s go.” Lu Siya observed his expression and could tell his determination. She dragged the white cloth over the three corpses and quickly walked outside. “We don’t have much time left. There are also amazing people in the secret police, and they will discover clues of the marks as well. Then, they will be ahead of us in the case.”

Meng Chao followed her and asked, “Will they?”

“Yeah.”

While Lu Siya walked, she said, “I heard that they used an expert of the secret police when they dissected the three biochemical pets yesterday, which is why they managed to find the needle marks at the depths of the biochemical pets’ ear ca.n.a.ls.

“The person who performed the dissection yesterday is Master Sun Yufeng, a veteran harvester from the monster research center. Even he overlooked the details near the eardrums. The other harvesters also hadn’t heard of such a secretive technique.

“In the end, a very young expert who seems to have come from the secret police pointed it out.

“He knew about such a tricky method, so it’s most likely that he has personally used this method before. He’s not a harvester, so he’s definitely a top-cla.s.s a.s.sa.s.sin. With such an amazing person around, it’s highly likely that he will turn into our compet.i.tor, and who knows who will end up getting the prize?!”

“Oh...”
