White then lifted the burlap sack covering the body.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe could see that the corpse looked exactly the same as the Qi Kangle he had seen before.
Meanwhile, in Gu Xinghe's own live stream room.
He also heard the viewers discussing that Qi Kangle's live stream had been shut down.
For Qi Kangle, his death also meant the loss of his identity as a player.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe was examining Qi Kangle's corpse.
There were several deep wounds on it, which seemed to correspond exactly to the news he had heard earlier that the deceased had been stabbed multiple times.
However, Gu Xinghe did not see any trace of blood on the surface of these wounds.
After a person dies, the blood naturally stops circulating and flowing.
However, what puzzled Gu Xinghe at this moment was not that there was no blood seeping from the wound.
Instead, these wounds, which appear to be extremely large, seem to have never had any blood flowing out.
Even though his clothes were pierced, the wound looked perfectly clean, and there wasn't a trace of blood on Qi Kangle's body.
Gu Xinghe did not believe that this was the "humanitarian concern" shown by the sheriffs for the deceased.
At this moment, seeing the gaze fixed on Gu Xinghe, White began to explain.
"When we discovered the case this morning, the condition of the body was also very strange; it was as if all the blood in his body had been drained."
In other words, the sheriff was well aware that it was more like a deliberate murder.
The current murder case seems like a bizarre event in this world.
They probably also knew that neither the theft of the painting nor the murder was related to the other four players.
However, based on the various clues uncovered in the investigation, these individuals are undoubtedly the perfect targets for framing.
Putting aside his thoughts about White's inner monologue, Gu Xinghe continued to observe the corpse before him.
Without the two people beside him intervening, he directly pressed down on Qi Kangle's body.
Qi Kangle's body muscles had clearly become stiff and showed signs of rigor mortis.
However, the absence of any foul odor from his body suggests that Qi Kangle's death may not have occurred more than 24 hours ago.
In the world before Gu Xinghe's transmigration, a forensic doctor once said—
The corpse is the last language of the dead, and the process of dissecting the corpse is the process of communicating with the dead.
However, in this strange world, there are no professional forensic doctors to conduct thorough investigations.
Gu Xinghe was not a professional forensic doctor, but his purpose was clearly not to find the exact time of the other party's death.
Thus, he now has another way to communicate with the dead.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe felt the pocket watch he always carried with him warm up slightly as he approached the corpse.
Therefore, it is clear that the seemingly clean corpse without any bloodstains does indeed have some kind of "contamination" attached to it.
But thinking about his next move, Gu Xinghe felt that he was really becoming more and more like a detective.
He's still the kind of paranormal detective who communicates with the dead.
Thinking this, he still touched Qi Kangle's already stiff fingers—
It was a dark night, and there weren't many streetlights on the streets.
Among them, a few lamps, dilapidated from years of neglect, flickered incessantly in the night, attempting to bring a final glimmer of light to this darkness.
As the sky grew darker and pedestrians hurried home, they dared not linger on the street.
He had no choice but to quicken his pace on the deserted street and hurry towards the hotel.
But just then, he saw a man wearing a black hooded coat walking towards him.
Because of the dim lighting and the completely dark sky, he couldn't see the face of the person in front of him.
But surrounded by empty streets, he felt a sense of comfort, realizing that "there are still people in this world."
Just as this person was about to pass him by, he saw the man in black suddenly pull a small knife out of his pocket.
"puff--"
The sharp dagger plunged directly into his abdomen.
At that moment, he felt a strong chill due to the loss of blood.
It wasn't the feeling of something slipping away, like water dripping from a wound onto the ground.
Rather, it's a more intense feeling of blood being swallowed and drained.
At this moment, he pressed his hands against his wounds, trying to hold onto the dagger to prevent further blood loss.
But the knife left his body without hesitation.
It seemed to be to speed up the process of absorbing blood.
The repeated stabbing motions, "plop—plop—plop—", completely rendered him unable to resist.
He felt his body growing colder and colder, and his thoughts slowly came to a standstill.
With a heavy thud, he collapsed to the ground.
And all the blood in his body was drained away.
...
Since being beheaded, Gu Xinghe is now experiencing a rather thrilling way to die.
In the foreseeable future, he feels that his experience may not be reduced as a result.
Perhaps later, he might even be able to write a book titled "108 Ways for Humans to Die".
The experience just now was undoubtedly Gu Xinghe's personal re-enactment of the scene before Qi Kangle's death.
Compared to indirectly learning about Qi Kangle's experiences before his death from his own live stream, the experience of "empathy" is undoubtedly much more direct.
