As a girl in the Faculty of Environment, Lin Manluo had never even seen the corpses of cats and dogs in school before, not to mention the corpses of human beings. Since coming to the library, her psychological endurance had been constantly refreshed, and now, she actually had to personally retrieve the bones out of the waste pool! This scene was truly unforgettable that she would have nightmares if she wasn’t careful.
Qin Lu’s face also turned pale, but she still didn’t have the heart to back down, instead she gently reached out her hand and squeezed Lin Manluo’s left palm, cheering her senior sister up.
Lin Manluo stiffly summoned the vine again.
The waste water pool was very corrosive, but fortunately her vines could continue to grow and spread, she searched again according to the location where she had just fished out the bones, and soon fished out some more bones.
Jiang Pingce looked at the increasing number of bones around his feet and said towards Liu Zhaoqing, “Senior brother, can you put these broken bones together?”
Liu Zhaoqing simply stepped forward, quickly wrapped several layers of thick gauze on the outside as gloves, picked up the bones on the ground, and said, “Of course I can, what was fished out just now was the calf, upper arm, that is, the limb part. No spine found… Did the murderer shred the body after the killing?”
Xin Yan said with a cold face, “Even if the chemical can corrode away the body, it won’t break all the bones. The murderer should have killed the person and then cut the human body into several parts before throwing it into the waste water tank, so that the body can be corroded as soon as possible.”
Yue Xingwen endured the nausea and frowned. “It seems that the murderer is not only out for revenge, but is also a psychopath. I think that Zhou Qiqi’s suspicion has become lower, a girl in her twenties should not have so much strength to move the body of an adult man, and cut the body into several parts and throw it into the waste water tank.”
At this moment, Liu Zhaoqing suddenly said ‘hey’, squatted down, carefully touched the fracture surface of the bone with his hand wrapped in gauze, and then concluded, “Where the bones are broken, there is no comminuted fracture, the cut surface was very clean, and it should be quickly cut off with a sharp tool.” He straightened up, looked at Yue Xingwen and explained, “That is to say, the murderer did not chop the corpse like a butcher chopping meat, but chose a very sharp tool to split the body.”
Yue Xingwen said suspiciously, “Could it be that the murderer still understands medicine?”
Liu Zhaoqing shook his head, “That’s not true, if the murderer understands medicine, it should be cut like this, a lot of the bones are cut off from the center, it should be an amateur. I prefer that he has tools that can quickly split the body. Ordinary knives and axes could not have chopped the bone so neatly, but rather the chainsaw we use in surgery can saw through the bone quickly.”
Qin Lu’s hand trembled slightly, and he said in a trembling voice, “Chain-chainsaw horror movie? Is this turning into a horror movie?”
Thinking of a person lurking in a Chemical Factory, dragging the body here in the middle of the night and sawing it, Lin Manluo’s heart couldn’t help but tighten. She exhaled softly, quickly adjusted her emotions and continued to search for scattered human bones in the wastewater tank.
Suddenly, her vine entangled a relatively large piece. Lin Manluo gently pulled it, realized that something was wrong, and immediately said towards Yue Xingwen, “Xingwe, I don’t know what’s over there, it doesn’t look like the weight of bones.”
Yue Xingwen immediately cautiously raised his right hand to summon the Idiom Dictionary, staring at the dark brown waste water tank surface. “Senior sister, be careful, slowly pull it over.”
Lin Manluo’s vines could stretch, shrink and strangle their prey according to her commands, so she could pull the thing to the edge of the pool without much effort.
Qin Lu leaned over to take a look and almost fainted on the spot!
Xin Yan averted his gaze with a sullen face, and Liu Zhaoqing once again burst out in foul language, “Fuck! Fresh corpses that haven’t finished decaying!”
Jiang Pingce had always been calm, quickly overcame the psychological barrier, and squatted down to observe the bloody mass.
When Liu Zhaoqing saw that he was observing very seriously, he couldn’t help but say, “Jiang Pingce, don’t you feel disgusted?”
Jiang Pingce said lightly, “It’s quite disgusting, but we have to hurry up and solve the mystery.”
Yue Xingwen also stepped forward and squatted beside Jiang Pingce, carefully observing while carefully analyzing, “It seems this person has not died for a long time, and the chemicals in the wastewater tank have only corroded the face, and haven’t had time to corrode to the bones. It happened that senior sister fished up the upper body.”
Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice, “Can you confirm the identity? Could it be Chen Xiumei, who resigned today?”
Yue Xingwen actually had a vague premonition, since the three people who resigned before were killed, would aunt Chen Xiumei, who resigned today, also be killed? Fresh corpses were found in the wastewater tank today. It was easy to think of Chen Xiumei, who left the factory in the afternoon.
However, the body was so corroded and bloody that there weren’t many pieces of intact skin, and it was impossible to see the face.
Yue Xingwen observed for a few moments, suddenly his gaze fixed on the neck of that corpse. Jiang Pingce keenly noticed Yue Xingwen’s gaze and reached out to point to the neck. “Is this jewelry?”
Yue Xingwen frowned and said, “Senior brother Liu, please give me some gauze.”
Liu Zhaoqing quickly wrapped several layers of protective gauze around Yue Xingwen’s gloves. Yue Xingwen then stretched out his hand and picked up the thing hanging on the body’s neck to take a closer look. The light there was dim, it was too hard to see, and Xin Yan couldn’t light the spirit lamp, so Yue Xingwen squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a few moments, and an image suddenly flashed through his mind——
Chen Xiumei did wear a necklace around her neck when she brushed past him with her plate in the employee canteen this morning.
By the way, it was the Jade Buddha!
There was a saying among the people that ‘men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha’, and people who wore jade Buddha either believe in Buddhism originally, or something happened halfway through and they wanted to wear the Jade Buddha to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.
At that time, he also thought, Chen Xiumei had a guilty conscience and always had nightmares, so she begged the jade Buddha to keep her safe?
The red rope hanging from the Jade Buddha was indeed very similar to the red rope that remained; And the shape of this thing in the palm of the hand was also very similar to the Jade Buddha, except that the jade had been corroded by more than half, leaving only a piece the size of a broken fingernail.
Yue Xingwen said firmly, “This is Chen Xiumei’s body! The Jade Buddha necklace she wore around her neck, which I saw with my own eyes this morning. Although it’s partially corroded, the chain and the shape of the pendant match exactly what I remember.”
Jiang Pingce nodded in agreement. “En, I also saw the Jade Buddha necklace she wore today. In this way, Chen Xiumei was killed by the murderer after leaving the Chemical Factory, who carried her body to the wastewater treatment workshop, cut it into several parts and threw it into the wastewater tank. Since the body hadn’t been thrown into the tank for long, it hadn’t been corroded clean, so we were able to fish it out.”
Lin Manluo remembered that she took her resignation letter and said to her boss, ‘I want to go home and find a leisure job’. At that time, she tried to maintain her calm, hurriedly packed her luggage and left…
Unexpectedly, she still couldn’t escape the murderer’s poison!
A good living person, now actually turned into this bloody appearance. Lin Manluo resisted the urge to vomit, continued to fish in the wastewater tank and soon fished up other parts.
Liu Zhaoqing pieced together all the parts, and actually discovered four corpses.
He spat while putting it together. “I’ve been studying medicine for so many fucking years, this is the first time I’ve ever put together a broken corpse. Luckily, I’ve finally managed to find all the body parts of the four deceased.”
Lin Manluo couldn’t cry or laugh. “Senior brother, stop joking. I don’t want to dream of fishing for corpses.”
Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice, “Is senior brother sure that they are all together?”
Liu Zhaoqing nodded. “En. The four corpses are intact, they should be the four people who resigned and disappeared. It’s not bright enough right now, and if we move out during the day, I can analyze who is who based on height and body type.”
At this moment, Xin Yan suddenly walked next to Yue Xingwen and said in a low voice, “Can you show me that Jade Buddha necklace?”
Yue Xingwen spread out his palm and handed the Jade Buddha to him.
Xin Yan took it through the gauze, looked down for a moment, and said, “As long as what Chen Xiumei bought is not a fake glass imitation, then the Jade Buddha should be polished from natural jade, and there are not many chemicals that can corrode jade…”
Jiang Pingce stood up and asked Xin Yan, “Can you determine what kind of chemical it is?”
Xin Yan thought for a moment before raising his head and looking at everyone. “It should be hydrofluoric acid.”
Seeing that the students were puzzled, Xin Yan explained in a low voice, “This is a very corrosive acid, which can corrode metals, glass and objects containing silicon, and the main component of jade is silica. Silica itself is an acid, and it’s usually difficult for ‘acid’ to react with it, but it can chemically react with hydrofluoric acid to form silicon tetrafluoride gas.”
Jiang Pingce, who was also a science student, immediately understood when he heard this. “In most cases, it’s ‘acid’ and ‘alkali’ that react to produce ‘salt’ and ‘water’. It’s not common for acid and acid to react. From this point of view, the corrosive agent added to the wastewater tank is likely to contain ‘hydrofluoric acid’, otherwise, it won’t even corrode the jade.”
Xin Yan nodded. “That’s right. Hydrofluoric acid is the kind of thing I just prepared during the day today.”
Yue Xingwen’s eyes lit up. “Could it be, is this the task that Lin Yusen arranged for you? He asked you to do hydrofluoric acid preparation experiments and give some experimental data?”
Xin Yan said, “At that time, Ke Shaobin analyzed that it should be a side quest released by the NPCs in the online game, and doing it correctly will give a bonus score for the final clearance, and doing it wrong will not affect the clearance. Now it doesn’t seem like a side quest.”
He paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, “It’s the main quest.”
Yue Xingwen gently clenched his fists. “Lin Yusen is a senior student of the Faculty of Chemistry, he knows the preparation methods of various chemicals, and he lets you prepare hydrofluoric acid. Is it because he discovered something, or is he… the murderer?!”
As soon as Yue Xingwen said this, suddenly a piercing alarm sounded in his ears.
Didi, Didi——
The decibel sound of the alarm was extremely high, almost piercing the eardrum into the depths of the mind. The noise made the six people have a headache, and at the same time, Ke Shaobin, who was far away in the dormitory, also heard the alarm, and the chat channel came from Ke Shaobin’s worried chat: “Are you alright? Where’s the alarm coming from?!”
Xu Yishen also said, “Listening to the sound seems to be the direction of the wastewater tank?”
Xin Yan’s face changed suddenly and said, “It’s bad, Qin Lu retreated quickly!”
As soon as his words fell, Qin Lu immediately took out the globe and directly teleported everyone into the distance.
The next moment, there was a loud noise in their ears——
The wastewater tank actually exploded in an instant!
The sky was ablaze against the dark night sky, the tongues of fire were raging, and smoke rolled out.
They would have been burned to ashes at this point if they had run even 1 second slower!
