But there's no Batman in the real world!

"First, I have to ensure my own safety."...

Chapter 30 Terrifying Speculation

[June 26, sunny day.

The white sphere has another effect on enhancing the human body: it dramatically improves reaction speed, allowing the user to quickly dodge Liu Zhuo's attacks.

Its resilience is extremely strong; Liu Zhuo's all-out attack caused no damage to its body whatsoever, and the pain was extremely reduced, almost negligible.

After putting down his pen, Gao Ang began to worry again.

His reaction time is good, which is easy to understand. It's just that his nervous system is stronger. It's like a child hitting an adult; the child's movements appear to the adult as slow motion.

But when the pain disappeared, he became a little frantic.

If things continue like this, won't I become a cold-blooded animal who doesn't know pain or suffering?

"Smack!"

Gao Ang slapped himself hard across the face.

"Holy crap, that hurts!"

Grinning and rubbing his cheeks, Gao Yang actually had a big smile on his face.

"It seems that my worries just now were all just scaring myself."

Picking up the pen, I continued writing:

The pain receptors have not disappeared; it is very likely that the external force that triggers the pain receptors is insufficient, which is why there is no corresponding pain.

However, his own strength had been mutated, exceeding the range of ordinary people, which is why the slap he just received caused pain.

This is easy to understand. It's like a butterfly slapping an elephant. The elephant certainly won't feel anything. This doesn't mean the elephant doesn't feel pain, but rather that the force of the butterfly is negligible compared to its size. However, if the butterfly were to slap itself with its trunk, it would probably scream in pain.

After eliminating his fear of becoming a cold-blooded person, Gao Ang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was immersed in the thrill of crushing his opponents in the Dota Auto Chess game, Xia Weiwei's call came unexpectedly.

"What are you doing?"

"Live stream!"

"Come to the scene." He then hung up the phone.

Gao Ang looked completely bewildered, his face full of question marks. What was going on? How could an outsider like him be allowed to be present at the scene?

Although he didn't understand why, he was still a little excited. If he hadn't been delayed by online live streaming, he would most likely have become a glorious people's police officer.

Most of the courses he took in college were related to real-world cases, but he had absolutely no interest in civil or commercial disputes.

A real man must face the dripping blood and the cruelty of life head-on.

After hurriedly saying goodbye to his fans, Gao Ang shut down his computer and drove his beat-up car to the address Xia Weiwei had sent him.

"Following your logic, we visited the family that held the funeral, and the response we received was not encouraging."

Cao Kun found a relatively quiet corner, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and whispered to Gao Ang.

"What happened?"

“A few days ago, when they were holding a funeral, Wu Mei (the wife of the missing man Zhang Jianping) offered to use their storage room. Since there were many relatives and neighbors, they agreed.” Cao Kun took another puff of his cigarette and continued.

"According to them, they bought nearly 500 kilograms of raw meat, which they put in the freezer in the storage room on the first floor of Wu Mei's house."

"Has the freezer been checked?" Gao Ang pressed.

"We checked, and there was blood from the missing person in the freezer, as well as some remaining flesh and tissue." At this point, Cao Kun swallowed hard, as if his bad premonition had come true.

Hearing this, Gao Ang felt a little nauseous, even a bit vomiting.

"Has the situation escalated?"

"We dare not expand the scope of this; too many people are involved, and it could lead to a major incident. We didn't even dare to put up any barriers at the scene; we had to sneak in." Cao Kun also felt extremely troubled. He didn't even dare to report his speculations. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his five years as a police officer.

"The most urgent task is to interrogate Wu Mei and find the whereabouts of the body as soon as possible."

"Captain Hou personally conducted the interrogation."

"Then why did you call me over here?"

"You gave me the direction, and now the truth is pretty much out. Can't I even vent to someone?" Cao Kun glared at him before stubbing out his cigarette and heading back to the scene.

"Can I go take a look at that storage room?" Ang Gao felt he should do something, whether for his senior brother or for the ordinary people.

"Come with me."

This is not an old neighborhood; the buildings are only about three to five years old, and all the buildings look brand new.

The layout of the floors is quite interesting. The first floor is all storage rooms and garages. Some families have combined the first and second floors, making it look like a duplex. Wu Mei's family did not do that. The storage rooms are just storage rooms, and the garage is in another building.

As Cao Kun said, the storage room was not sealed or cordoned off. Cao Kun knocked on the door with a rhythmic knocking style, which was probably their internal code.

The storage room door opened a crack, revealing Xia Weiwei's pale face. "Team Leader Cao."

Nodding, Cao Kun squeezed in sideways, followed by Gao Ang, and Xia Weiwei quickly closed the door.

There were no visible guards outside, but inside they were on high alert. The forensic doctor was busy with all sorts of equipment. Cao Kun took the lead, putting on shoe covers and hairnets, and led Gao Ang to look at the freezer.

"There was only some evidence in the freezer; there were no traces anywhere else."

"You mean this isn't the primary crime scene?" Gao Ang squinted, trying to gather all the scents from the storage room.

"It doesn't seem like it, but we can't rule it out. We'll have to wait for the forensic doctor's conclusion."

Where is that piece of flesh tissue?

“Here,” Cao Kun said, having complete trust in Gao Ang, especially since it was Gao Ang who had provided the clues and directions. He led Gao Ang directly to a small portable cooler.

"The first piece has already been taken back for testing and it has been confirmed to be Zhang Jianping's. These were the pieces that were later found at the bottom of the freezer."

Gao Ang didn't reply, carefully discerning the smell of the few pieces of meat inside. To ensure the integrity of the evidence, there were no other extra smells in the refrigerator, only the smell emanating from this piece of flesh.

It's more accurate to say it smells like blood than meat. The smell of meat is much fainter than that of blood. And because everyone's physical condition, living environment, and nutritional intake are different, the smell of blood varies in fundamental nature.

These things were automatically distinguished by Gao Xiang's olfactory system. Since he entered the storage room, he had built a small database in his brain, and after smelling the scent of this piece of flesh, he began to automatically identify it.

It could be due to the long duration of the event, or it could be due to the airflow caused by people coming and going. The same odor molecules are distributed everywhere in this space, making it difficult for him to find the path for the odor to dissipate.

According to the most basic logic, if an object emits an odor, and there are no external factors interfering, the closer to the source of the odor, the stronger the odor molecules will be, and the more obvious the odor will be for ordinary people.

Gao Ang originally planned to follow this direction to see if he could find other clues, but it seems quite difficult at the moment.

"Um?"

As they walked, Gao suddenly caught a whiff of several different spots. The odor molecules around these spots were relatively fixed, and there were no obvious signs of interference from external factors.

"Senior brother, there's something strange about that place. What's that?" Gao Ang asked, pointing to a hole in the wall.

Cao Kun leaned closer, squinted at it for a few moments, and said, "It looks like a hole made by an expansion bolt."

"The hole is new, but the screws are missing."

"Xiao Zhang, come over here and check," Cao Kun called out in a low voice.

Not long after, Xiao Zhang gave his answer: "There are blood components around the cave, but we'll have to wait for the test results to find out the specifics."

"Phew," Cao Kun breathed a sigh of relief upon making the new discovery. "Not bad, junior brother!"

Gao Ang ignored him and closed his eyes to start tracking the aura again.

This storage room was just a temporary collection point for the blood. No matter how the murderer disposed of the body, this was definitely not the last crime scene. There would definitely be another location. As long as there was another location, the murderer would definitely have a transportation route, and these odor molecules would inevitably remain around this route.

It has been ten days since the victim went missing, and it's unknown how long these odor molecules can remain, especially with the recent strong winds and heavy rains...

Let's try anything, even if it seems hopeless!

Gao Feng concentrated his energy to block out all other auras, retaining only this unique molecular aura. He then gestured for Xia Weiwei to open the storage room door and slowly walked out.

Sure enough, this aura almost completely disappeared as soon as I stepped outside. Fortunately, a tiny bit of molecules remained active, but most of these remaining molecules were lying on the ground. This is understandable, since it had rained and the rainwater washed away impurities in the air, including these molecules.

The erosion is not scary; as long as it is not eliminated, there will still be traces to be found.

Xia Weiwei couldn't stand the oppressive indoor environment, so she came out for some fresh air. She saw Gao Ang crouching down with his head down, as if he was looking for something on the ground.

On her first field assignment, she encountered such a difficult case, and the dual pressure, both psychological and physical, made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

The pressure from this case is even greater than the pressure she felt when her parents were murdered.

She was studying abroad at the time, and when she rushed back after receiving the news, all she saw were her parents' ashes after cremation.

She didn't know if her parents had suffered any hardships before their deaths; at least, the forensic autopsy report didn't mention it.

Zhang Jianping, on the other hand, seemed even more pitiful. According to the team leader's speculation, he might...

While Xia Weiwei was reminiscing about the past, Gao Ang made a new discovery.
