In the morning, Lin Huang visited the four sewer workers and the answers he got were basically the same.
The four of them didn't have much information. In the dark, they couldn't see the corpses clearly. They didn't even know the gender of the four corpses. They only knew that the first person they dragged out was a man. Other than that, they didn't know anything else.
However, Lin Huang was relieved that the four of them kept their mouths shut. They did not even tell their wives about it so it was unlikely that the news would spread.
It was almost noon when Lin Huang left Xiao Wang's house. He went to a random restaurant for lunch. After lunch, he summoned the Viridian Wolf and headed to the Coalition government's division.
The staff of the Coalition government brought Lin Huang to the forensic lab after seeing his investigation certificate and hunter's license.
The door of the forensic lab was open and a young lady with black-rimmed glasses was watching a video while eating snacks at her desk.
The lady looked like she was about 17 or 18 years old. Her face was very small, and her facial features were very delicate. However, a pair of black-rimmed glasses occupied the upper half of her face, concealing much of her originally outstanding appearance. She was watching a video of a battle. The background of the video looked like the Hunter's Arena. She was eating a box of food that was soaked in red chili oil while watching the video.
Lin Huang knocked on the door. The lady looked at Lin Huang and said, "You're in the wrong place, this is the forensic lab."
She then turned back to the video and ignored Lin Huang.
"I'm looking for the forensic lab." Lin Huang smiled and walked to the lady's desk, "Hi, I'm Ye Xiu, an investigator from the Hunters' Association."
"Give me a minute, I'll finish watching the video." The lady waved her hand at Lin Huang.
The background of the video was semi-transparent so Lin Huang could only see it clearly when he got closer. The battle that she was watching was the one where he defeated Yu Moli in the Hunter's Arena. Seeing this battle, Lin Huang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He also noticed that the battle in the video was coming to an end, so he simply pulled a chair over and sat across the desk, waiting for the girl to finish watching the video.
About two to three minutes later, a golden light lit up on the screen. Soon, the arena announced Sword Genius's victory.
"My idol is the best!" The girl let out a sharp scream and paused the video at the moment when Sword Genius' body was about to disappear. Her oily red lips kissed the virtual screen.
Lin Huang simply couldn't bear to look at this tragic scene.
After turning off the video, the girl looked at Lin Huang who was sitting opposite her. "Hunters' Association? Let me have a look. "
Lin Huang projected his hunter's license and the Coalition government's investigation certificate and said to the girl, "As usual, I should check your work permit too."
"If you want to take a look, then take a look." The girl didn't care and used her left hand to project the work permit.
The girl's name was Liang Yin and she was 17 years old. It showed that she graduated from the Coalition government's Advanced Medical College and majored in forensic science. On the work permit, she did not have her glasses on and she was indeed prettier than she was now.
"It's done." Lin Huang nodded after taking a closer look.
Liang Yin then turned off the work permit and continued eating. "Go ahead and ask if you have any questions. If you want to see the corpses, you'll have to wait until I finish this bowl of chili oil lung slices."
"What's your conclusion about the four corpses? Are you sure it's Brain Eater? "Lin Huang asked directly.
"There's a 99% chance that it's Brain Eater." Liang Yin replied casually while chewing on her food.
"What about the remaining 1%?" Lin Huang asked.
"The remaining 1% could only be a psychopath who imitated Brain Eater. If that's the case, they'd have to use a sharp object to drill a hole in the head and stick a straw in to suck out the brain. " Liang Yin continued to eat her lung slices as she spoke. It did not seem to affect her appetite at all.
"Are the four corpses all male? Other than that, are there any common characteristics? "Lin Huang asked again.
"The victims are all strong men. There are a few common characteristics. Firstly, when the corpses were discovered, they were all naked and had no clothes on. Second, all of them had intense … erm … mating behavior before they died. Third, all of them had a cultivation level. Two of them were bronze-level and the other two were silver-level. The Hunters' Association has confirmed that all four of them are members of the Hunters' Association with a Regular Hunter License. "Liang Yin sized up Lin Huang as she spoke. Liang Yin was a silver-level as well and she could sense that Lin Huang was a silver-level as well.
Lin Huang had heard about the fact that the corpses were naked from the sewer workers and Liang Yin had finally confirmed it. What Liang Yin said confirmed Lin Huang that the body controlled by the Brain Eater was at least a silver-level.
"Can you tell which silver-level the two silver-level victims were?" Lin Huang asked again.
"One of them was a silver-level rank-1 and the other was a silver-level rank-2. From the way they died, they did not struggle before they died. They must have been attacked when they were mating." Liang Yin explained and added, "The Brain Eater must be at least a silver-level rank-3 to be able to pierce through the skull of a silver-level rank-2. It might be even stronger."
What she said was a hint to Lin Huang. It was obvious that she felt that Lin Huang's ability was not enough to deal with such a monster.
"Are there any other injuries on the corpses?" Lin Huang did not care about her hint and continued to ask.
"There are some minor injuries including scratches and whip marks. They must have been caused by mating. They're just superficial wounds, not fatal." Liang Yin raised her eyebrows and explained. "The only fatal injury was on the head. It pierced through the skull and into the brain, causing death."
"What about the time of death?" Lin Huang continued to ask.
"The earliest one died four months ago and the latest one died a month ago. There's one every month. According to the Brain Eater's hunting habits, the next attack should be within a few days. "Liang Yin gave an answer.
"Can you bring me to the dead body now?" Lin Huang noticed that Liang Yin had finished eating the lung slices, so he requested to see the dead body.
"Sure, give me a moment." Liang Yin closed the box filled with chili oil and threw it into the dustbin. She took off her gloves as well.
Lin Huang thought that she was ready to leave. However, she walked to the fridge and took out a few boxes. After a careful selection, he only kept one box and put the rest into the fridge.
She then waved at Lin Huang and said, "Let's go!"
"This is food too …" Lin Huang was speechless.
"Braised intestines. Do you want some? It's very delicious. I can give you a piece, but only one, "Liang Yin said generously.
