After talking to Xia Hou, Lin Huang had a rough understanding of him. To put it simply, he was a nice guy, but there was something wrong with his brain.
After registering Xia Hou as an assistant at the Coalition government, Lin Huang was finally qualified to take part in the serial murder case.
"Brother Lin, now that we're done, let's go." Xia Hou turned around and walked towards the exit of the Coalition government's office building.
"Where are you going?" Lin Huang was puzzled.
"To the crime scene." Xia Hou turned around and looked at Lin Huang in confusion.
"Erm … The details of the case and the dead bodies of the victims are with the Coalition government. Aren't we going there now?" Lin Huang reminded him.
"That's true. If we go to the crime scene first, we'll have to come back," Xia Hou mumbled to himself and nodded immediately. "Let's look at the dead bodies first."
"Brother Xia, you can go to the morgue first. I'll go to the database and come back after I'm done with the information. "Lin Huang did not bother to drag Xia Hou to the database with him.
"Why are you going to the database? Didn't I share the case information with you when you were registering? "Xia Hou looked at Lin Huang in confusion.
"That's just the basic information. I still need to look for other information related to the case." The information that Xia Hou shared with them was sent by the Coalition government. There were only the case records and the incident report. Lin Huang and Bloody thought that the information was far from enough.
"Okay, let's split up." Xia Hou nodded and turned to walk in the direction of the morgue.
Lin Huang, on the other hand, brought Bloody straight to the archive.
The Coalition government's database was managed by a Amethyst Brain. In reality, it was not Lin Huang's first time seeing such a monster. The first time he saw it was when he was a librarian in the Division7 Martial Arts Academy library.
His body was like a giant blue brain wrapped in a layer of translucent purple jelly, floating on the dome of the database. The edges of its jelly-like body were covered with dense, pale purple tentacles, making it look like a huge jellyfish.
Lin Huang walked straight to a chair under a tentacle and sat down. Then, he quickly searched for the information he needed.
As soon as the Emperor's Heart Ring was connected to the tentacles, the Amethyst Brain identified Lin Huang's identity as an investigator's assistant and granted him access to the relevant inquiry.
"Previously, the information provided by the black market lacked a lot of information. To understand this case, we need more detailed information. Apart from the detailed records of the case and the autopsy report from the forensic doctor, you'll also need all the victims' detailed identities, including the victim's family and friends, as well as the victim's schedule and phone records before they died. "Bloody's voice came into Lin Huang's ears as soon as he sat down.
"Okay, I'll download all the information first and look at it when I get back to the hotel. Based on Xia Hou's character, I guess he won't be able to wait for long in the morgue. "Lin Huang immediately got into work.
After spending about ten minutes downloading all the information he needed, he got up and left the database.
When Lin Huang arrived at the morgue at the west end of the office building, Xia Hou was already looking at the fifth dead body.
"You're finally here." Hearing Lin Huang pushing the door open, he turned his head and looked at Lin Huang. He then waved his hand and said, "Come and look at this dead body!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Huang walked over quickly.
It was a muscular dead body of a man. His chest was completely cut open and both of his lungs were gone. The fatal wound was the heart that was cut in half inside his chest.
Looking at the dead body at such a close distance, Lin Huang could not help but frown. It was much clearer than the picture provided by the black market.
"Look at this incision and the incision where the lungs were removed. There's nothing extra at all." Xia Hou pointed at the chest of the dead body and said to Lin Huang, "This doesn't look like something a monster could do. It looks more like it was done by a human who is proficient in dissection."
Lin Huang glanced at Xia Hou. He did not expect this guy to be as bad as he thought. At least his observation and analysis skills were reliable.
After looking at the dead body according to the autopsy report and personal information, Lin Huang opened his mouth after a while, but he did not express any opinion on the dead body. "Let's look at the next one."
The sixth dead body was taken out of the cold storage. It was a headless body, and the part above the neck was irregular. Before it was cleaned by the forensic doctor, it should have been a bloody mess.
With just one look, Lin Huang could see how the dead man died.
"This one is really tragic. His head was blown off, and the flesh on the neck was like a flower." Xia Hou laughed, but he soon stopped smiling. "This way of death is different. It looks like it was done by a gunner."
Lin Huang checked the body again according to the autopsy report, and his frown deepened.
The seventh dead body was a fat man, but his body looked even more miserable. There was almost no good meat on his body, and there was a hole the size of a basketball on his belly. There was no internal organs inside.
"Tsk, tsk. This one is even worse. It looks like he was eaten by a group of small carnivorous monsters. Not only were his internal organs dug out, but many parts of his body have bones." Xia Hou paused. "This is obviously not done by a human."
He looked at the dead bodies one by one until he reached the sixteenth. Lin Huang turned back to look at the four dead bodies that he had not seen yet.
Xia Hou accompanied Lin Huang to look at them again, and the two of them left the morgue.
"What serial murder? It's obvious that it was not done by one person. Some of them are obviously done by humans, and some are obviously done by monsters, "Xia Hou mumbled as they walked out of the morgue.
"If it's not a serial murder, how do you explain the consecutive dates and the time of death according to the forensic report is around midnight?" Lin Huang retorted, "Don't tell me that the consecutive 16 days are just a coincidence?"
"The possibility of it being a coincidence is really low, but how do you explain the different methods?" Xia Hou thought for a while and asked another question.
"It seems like there are three possibilities at the moment. The first one is that it's not a person, but a criminal gang. The second one is that it's a copycat. Someone knows what the first murderer did and imitated the time of the crime to create the subsequent killings. The third possibility is that the murderer could be a person or a monster with a high level of intelligence, and it purposely created a different crime method, "Lin Huang told Lin Huang what he and Bloody came up with.
"It can't be a monster that can perform such an autopsy, right?" Although he agreed with the three possibilities that Lin Huang suggested, Xia Hou still had to ask about the details.
"It's possible for a monster with a high level of intelligence to be able to do that if they've spent a long time with humans who are good at dissecting, or if they've been taught how to dissect by humans," Lin Huang explained again.
"The probability should be very small …" Xia Hou pouted. He thought that Lin Huang was completely wasting his time.
"It's indeed a small probability, but the probability isn't zero. We can't rule out such a possibility." Lin Huang was serious about this.
"Since we've seen the dead bodies, what should we do next?" Realizing that Lin Huang's analysis of the case far surpassed his, Xia Hou decided to give up on being the leader of the investigation. He felt that following Lin Huang's train of thought was much easier than using his brain.
