Chapter 231
Lin Huang spent the entire morning visiting the four sewer workers and got the same answers from all of them . They did not know much as the sewer was dark, hence they could not identify the genders of the deceased, let alone see the dead bodies clearly . The only thing they knew was that the first body was that of a man . They knew nothing about the rest . However, Lin Huang was glad that the four of them kept the secret pretty well, not even spilling a word to their wives, so it was unlikely that the news would leak to the public .
It was almost 12 noon when Lin Huang left Little Wang’s house . He was the last sewer worker that he visited . After lunch at a random store, Lin Huang summoned the Viridian Wolf and headed to the Union Government division . He was brought to the forensic department after the staff checked his license and investigation ID . When the door opened, there was a lady in black-framed glasses watching videos while eating snacks at her desk . The lady seemed young, about 17 or 18 years of age . Her face was small with sharp features . However, the glasses, which occupied half of her face, covered most of her features . She was indulging in a battle video that seemed like the Hunter Arena . As she watched, she was grabbing a box of food that was covered in red chili oil with her gloves .
Lin Huang knocked on the door . The lady looked at him uninterestedly . "You’re at the wrong place, this is the forensic department . "
"I’m looking for the forensic department . " Lin Huang smiled and walked over to the lady’s desk .
"Hi, my name is Ye Xiu . I’m an investigator sent by the Hunter Association . "
"Give me a second, let me finish this video . " The lady waved her hand at him .
As the background of her video was set to be semi-transparent, as he walked closer, Lin Huang could clearly see that it was the battle of himself defeating Yu Moli . It was his 90th battle . Lin Huang frowned as he watched the screenplay . Since the battle was ending soon, Lin Huang pulled a chair and sat across the lady while waiting for her to finish the video . Two to three minutes later, a golden glow flashed across the video . Soon, the arena announced Sword Genius’s victory .
"My prince charming is the best!" the lady screamed and paused the scene where Sword Genius was disappearing . She then kissed the screen with her oily lips . Lin Huang could not bear to see her disturbing actions . After turning off the video, the lady looked at Lin Huang who sat across her . "You’re from the Hunter Association? Show me your ID . "
Lin Huang projected his hunter license and the investigation ID from the Union Government .
"Following the protocol, I should check your work ID as well . "
"Go ahead then . " The lady projected her work ID from her left hand in an apathetic manner .
Her name was Liang Yin and she was 17 . It showed that she graduated from the advanced medical school of the Union Government majoring in forensic science . She was not wearing glasses on her working ID and she looked much prettier in her picture .
"Alright . " Lin Huang nodded after checking thoroughly .
Liang Yin then turned off the projected and said while eating, "Just ask whatever questions you have . If you’d like to see the dead bodies, we can do that after I finish eating this bowl of red chili lung slices . "
"What’s the investigation result of the four bodies? Was it done by Brain Eater?" Lin Huang asked directly .
"99% was done by the Brain Eater," Liang Yin replied while eating .
"How about the remaining 1%?" Lin Huang asked .
"The remaining 1% would probably be a lunatic who mimics brain eating cases . If that’s so, the person must have drilled a hole on top of the head and sucked the brain out using a straw . " Liang Yin proceeded to eat while she explained, her appetite not at all affected by the gruesomeness of what she was saying .
"Were all of the victims men? Besides that, are there any similarities among them?" Lin Huang asked .
"All of them were strong men and there were a couple of similarities . First of all, all of them were naked when they were found . Secondly, all of them were…having…intense sex before they died . Thirdly, all of them were well trained . Two of them were at bronze Level while another two were at silver level . The Hunter Association has confirmed that the four of them held Regular Hunter licenses . " Liang Yin was checking out Lin Huang as she spoke . As she was also a silver level, she could sense that Lin Huang was on the same level too .
From the sewer workers, Lin Huang already knew that they were all naked and Liang Yin had just confirmed it . After listening to her explanation, Lin Huang could confirm that the flesh of the Brain Eater was at least a silver level .
"Is it possible to determine which rank both the silver level victims were?" Lin Huang asked .
"One was silver level rank-1 . while another was rank-2 . We could tell that they did not struggle before they were killed . They should have been attacked when they were having sex," Liang Yin explained .
"Since it could pierce through a silver level rank-2’s skull, the Brain Eater should at least be a silver level rank-3 or even higher," Liang Yin added .
What she said at the end implied that Lin Huang would not be able to fight such a monster .
"Were there any wounds on the bodies?" Lin Huang ignored her insinuation and continued to ask .
"There were light wounds including scratches and whipping . Those should have been caused by the sex since they were just light surface injuries which were not fatal . " Liang Yin explained with her eyebrow raised .
"The only fatal injury was the hit on the head which pierced through the skull into the brain . "
"What was the time of death?" Lin Huang asked .
"The earliest one was four months ago while the latest one was a month ago . That’s about one body per month . Looking at the Brain Eater’s hunting habit, it would be doing it again within these couple of days . " Liang Yin answered .
Lin Huang noticed that she had finished her food so he said, "I guess you could bring me to the dead bodies now . "
"Sure, give me a second . " Liang Yin then threw the box filled with red chili oil into the trash can together with her gloves .
Lin Huang thought she was ready to go . However, she walked to the refrigerator and took out a few boxes . After a pause, she decided on one and kept the rest in the refrigerator again . With the box in hand, she then waved to Lin Huang . "Let’s go!"
"That’s food, isn’t it?" Lin Huang was speechless .
"It’s intestine gravy, would you like some? It’s delicious, you may try, but you can only have a piece," Liang Yin said .
"It’s okay, thanks," Lin Huang rejected her right away .
