Caitlin paused and pointed to another location on the report. "But that's not the point... Look at this."
Li Lin picked up the report, looked at the place she had pointed, and read softly, "The cause of death includes acute degradation of skin tissue, corrosive liquefaction, and fatal crossbow wounds?"
The more Li Lin read the report, the more familiar it seemed to him, until he saw the words "fatal crossbow wound" and realized what was happening.
This seems to be a report about the miasma rat... No, it's about the source of the plague, Tucci?
If it is indeed the murderer of this serial murder case, we must act quickly to eliminate it.
This guy mutated into a giant plague rat because he was contaminated by alchemical poison that was accidentally discharged into the sewer.
Tucci's hatred for humans is extremely strong, and he wants to overthrow humans' rule over the world.
Although it is just its delusion, it has basically no way to communicate normally, and keeping it will only be a disaster.
Li Lin put down the report and raised his eyebrows slightly. "What did the two survivors say in their confessions?"
Caitlin took out another confession report and handed it to him, explaining:
"One of the survivors had part of his body liquefied by the alchemical venom. He has lost his jaw and is unable to speak. He is currently receiving treatment and is being fitted with an augmented prosthetic body."
"Another survivor was Valorie Orlante, a wastewater analyst at the factory, but she... well, how should I put it, she was so frightened that her nerves collapsed."
Caitlin sighed. "She actually said that the attacker was a giant rat with a crossbow and threw glass bottles filled with alchemical poison at them..."
"But how could a mouse possibly read romance novels and label the bottles of fingers and toes it collected with dates and moods?"
Hearing her description, Li Lin nodded secretly.
There is no doubt that the murderer is Tuqi.
He glanced casually at the report again and then threw it on the table.
Now that we know who the target is, there's no point in looking at this thing. There's no useful information on it anyway.
But soon, another question emerged in his mind: "By the way, Kate, since the case report states it so clearly, why did Sheriff Grayson entrust you to solve this case?"
Caitlin looked back at Li Lin and said helplessly, "According to the investigation team's judgment, the murderer is short in stature and can get into the sewer where normal adults can't get in. He must be a dwarf.
"But he seemed to have sensed the investigation team was heading for his hiding place, so he fled early... He most likely escaped to the middle or lower levels of the trench, and the investigation team lost their lead."
"So... your case is to investigate the murderer who crawled into the sewer?"
Li Lin couldn't help but laugh, and Caitlin rolled her eyes at him, feeling speechless.
"Huh, why else would I come to you for help?"
