"Their internal organs and brain marrow have been shattered!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ge couldn't help but laugh: "Ridiculous, their bodies show no external injuries, and we've already scanned them with machines. The internal organs are intact!"
Li Chuan nodded: "That's what's so astonishing. There's no visible sign of injury on the outside or inside, yet their organs and brain marrow are in utter disarray."
"There's only one possibility in such a situation: they were killed by a master whose True Qi is highly cultivated!"
"To be able to release external True Qi with such precision into the victim's body, causing their organs to shatter without breaking - this level of Qi control is extremely sophisticated and difficult to detect, even with the most advanced instruments."
"Unless we perform an autopsy on the corpses."
This was something Li Chuan couldn't understand.
These two old people looked like very ordinary common folk, just a bit shameless.
Why would such a master target two insignificant ants like them?
It's simply beyond comprehension.
Li Chuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what kind of force would go to such lengths.
Could it be aimed at him?
The Yamamoto Family from Japan?
But the method doesn't resemble the techniques used by the Japanese.
There's something else: if this force has such a master, they could confront him openly. Why go to such lengths to kill two ordinary people and frame him?
Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, even Chen Ge was speechless, because what Li Chuan said was so absurd. True Qi?
What does he think this is, a cultivation world?
However, the manner of these two people's deaths was indeed very strange. As a forensic pathologist, she'd seen all kinds of corpses, and today was the first time she'd encountered such a case.
Li Chuan: "If you don't believe me, you can dissect them, take out the organs, and see for yourself if it's as I said. Based on your experience, once the organs are in front of you, you should be able to see."
Chen Ge looked at Li Chuan with doubt; she didn't trust what this guy was saying, thinking he made up such an elaborate excuse just to defend himself.
She thought for a moment, then said, "I can't believe what you're saying at the moment. Let's wait for the stomach fluid and blood test results first."
Li Chuan wasn't anxious because once that report came out, it would be enough to prove his innocence.
His main concern now was who the real culprits were and what their motives might be.
If they were enemies, why act in such a manner?
Because a master of such caliber wouldn't bother using these means to kill.
Just as Li Chuan couldn't come to a conclusion, the test results arrived.
As he expected, everything was normal.
Zhao Donglai said, "Officer Chen, I think we should trust Li Chuan."
"There are things in this world that can't be detected by scientific means."
Zhao Donglai had great trust in Li Chuan.
But Chen Ge, because of preconceived notions, didn't have a good impression of Li Chuan. She looked at him, and he gave her a slight smile.
"Ahem..." Chen Ge thought Li Chuan's smile was a bit creepy, but given the circumstances, perhaps an autopsy was the only way to know the truth.
As a forensic scientist, she had the responsibility to solve this mystery.
Although she wasn't fond of Li Chuan, as a police officer, Chen Ge had her principles; she wouldn't wrong anyone because of personal likes or dislikes.
With that in mind, Chen Ge took out her tools and began to perform the autopsy on the two bodies.
Because the scene was quite gruesome, Chen Ge gave Li Chuan a look, signaling him to step outside.
However, Li Chuan just shrugged and didn't say anything, indicating with his eyes for Chen Ge to proceed.
Chen Ge was a bit surprised because not everyone could endure such work as an autopsy.
An hour later.
Chen Ge stared at the heart in her hand, deep in thought.
Everything turned out just as Li Chuan had said.
"Strange, how exactly was this done?" Chen Ge's eyes showed confusion, incomprehension, and solemnity. "All these organs have varying degrees of fragmentation."
Li Chuan put on gloves, took the heart from Chen Ge's hand, and after looking at it for a while, his expression changed too!
Because the opponent actually used True Qi to turn the inside of the heart into powder, yet miraculously preserved the external integrity.
"Why would they do this? Was it really aimed at me?"
Li Chuan murmured to himself.
Before this, he thought it might have been revenge from Yamamoto Ichiro's people. Their branch's Yin Yang Gu Insect was very powerful and could do this.
But now it seemed that it wasn't caused by any Gu Insect.
It was real True Qi!
The level of True Qi refinement was no less than his own, potentially even greater.
It should belong to a Grandmaster!
If the opponent was really after him, then this matter was clearly going to become very troublesome.
He didn't even know who the opponent was. He was in the light, and the enemy in the dark, ready to strike at any moment.
Seeing Li Chuan's troubled expression, Chen Ge asked with doubt, "Do you know something about this?"
Li Chuan: "It's no use saying it out loud, and you wouldn't believe it anyway."
Chen Ge was unimpressed: "What do you mean by that? You came in here with a prejudice against me. Do you look down on women? Do you think I can't do this job well?"
Li Chuan didn't expect Chen Ge to be so sensitive and react like this.
Feeling helpless, Li Chuan said: "If I say the opponent is a cultivator trying to target me, would you believe it?"
"I believe..."
Chen Ge started to speak, then swallowed the rest of her words. What was she saying?
Such nonsense, who would believe that!
But seeing Li Chuan's amused expression, Chen Ge's mind suddenly caught up: "I believe! Of course I believe, aren't you talking about a Qi Gong Master! That I can believe!"
