Chapter 330 Corpse
The moment Lan Yuncheng stepped into the bedroom, he keenly sensed the faint remnants of supernatural powers in the air. The remnant is extremely faint, like a wisp of smoke, and will be ignored if you are not careful.
Only those who have supernatural powers at level four or above and extremely keen perception can catch this subtle abnormality. Those who came to investigate here before were all ordinary people. They did not have such supernatural perception abilities, so they naturally could not discover the abnormalities hidden in this bedroom.
The three of them conducted a meticulous search in the bedroom, leaving no corner untouched. Soon, they identified the source of the residual supernatural power - the bed.
"What should I do?" It was the first time for Lan Ximeng to participate in such a suspenseful and challenging "detective" operation. She felt nervous and excited, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.
Lu Lige closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, trying to deeply explore the mystery of the remaining supernatural power. However, after a moment, she shook her head helplessly, a look of regret on her face, and said: "Unfortunately, I still can't find out the specific situation of this supernatural power."
Lan Yuncheng frowned slightly, thought for a while, turned his gaze to Lan Ximeng, and said decisively: "Xiaomeng, you go!"
"Me?" Lan Ximeng pointed at herself in surprise and asked doubtfully, "But if I make this ability disappear, how can you investigate it?"
"Since we can't find out anything now, just give it a try. Maybe you will make an unexpected discovery." Lan Yuncheng looked indifferent and encouraged Lan Ximeng to give it a try.
"Okay." Lan Ximeng no longer hesitated. She faced the bed and concentrated on using her special abilities. Time and again, she continued to release her supernatural powers, trying to dispel the stubborn remnants of supernatural powers. However, this remnant was extremely tenacious. Even though Lan Ximeng's ability could make Lan Yuncheng's ability disappear for a second after being upgraded to level four, she still spent her abilities many times and failed to completely dissipate this remnant.
Lan Ximeng couldn't help but mutter, "This ability is too powerful." The owner of this ability that can make her so exhausted must be extremely powerful.
"Wait!" Just as Lan Ximeng was about to use her supernatural powers again, Lu Lige suddenly spoke up to stop her. Lan Ximeng immediately stopped what she was doing obediently. Lu Lige used some supernatural skills on the bed, and then a disgusting stench hit his nose. On the originally empty bed, a black figure slowly emerged.
Seeing this sudden scene, the faces of the three people became solemn at the same time.
"Could this be the missing Bai Zhu?" Lan Ximeng covered her nose, her eyes full of disbelief. She didn't expect that her employee would die in her own home, and that the body would be hidden by someone using supernatural powers. It was obvious that they didn't want people to find it.
Lan Yuncheng did not speak immediately, but looked at Lu Lige and asked seriously: "Did you feel anything special when you solved the illusion just now?"
Lu Lige's face looked very ugly at the moment. She answered seriously, "The same as Bai Zhu's." In the world of superpowers, everyone's superpowers are unique and have their own unique aura. As for Bai Zhu's supernatural aura, Lu Lige had already memorized it, so she could determine the source of this aura.
"What?" Lan Ximeng didn't react for a moment to understand which "Bai Shu" Lu Lige was referring to. The image of the powerful Bai Shu who was thought to be dead quickly flashed through her mind.
When Lan Yuncheng heard Lu Lige's answer, his expression turned ugly. They always thought that in that extremely tragic self-explosion, there was no chance that Bai Zhu would survive. However, he was now shocked and disturbed to find traces related to Baishu in this seemingly ordinary bedroom.
"We have to report this news to our superiors." Lan Yuncheng was well aware of the seriousness of the matter. When he thought of a level nine "madman" lurking in the Tianquan galaxy, he felt extremely anxious.
The three men carefully took the body away along with the bed, and then carefully checked the kitchen and bathroom to make sure no clues were missed. After confirming that everything was correct, they returned to the special department of Tianquan Star together.
"Is what you said true?" Liu Delai stared at the body undergoing a forensic autopsy on the operating table with a frown on his face. The corpse was obviously a male, and judging by his height and body shape, he was very similar to the missing Bai Shu.
"Yes." Lan Yuncheng answered firmly. He believed in Lu Lige's judgment.
"Then we have to act immediately." Liu Delai rubbed his eyebrows, looking tired and helpless. This matter is really tricky, with endless troubles and a headache.
A moment later, the autopsy results were officially released. The forensic doctor looked solemn as he reported to Liu Delai, Lan Yuncheng and others: "According to the DNA test results of this person, it is confirmed that he is Bai Shu who was born on March 4, 2002 on Planet S of the Tianquan Galaxy."
This result was within everyone's expectations. After all, based on the various signs found on the body before, the identity of the deceased could be roughly inferred. However, the forensic doctor's next words were like a bombshell, shocking everyone present.
"He died at around 5pm on March 30, 2025. There were no obvious wounds or scars on the body of the deceased. Strangely, his heart was missing, and it was the loss of the heart that led to his death."
"Can you tell how his heart disappeared?" Lan Yuncheng frowned, his heart full of doubts. He never expected that the body was missing its heart. If Bai Zhu is really still alive, what use does he have for this heart?
The forensic doctor pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose and said seriously, "Based on the analysis of the fracture, the preliminary judgment is that it was cut open by a knife. But the strange thing is that there is no sign of opening the abdomen of the deceased. In my opinion, this is most likely caused by the use of supernatural powers or some special medicine."
"How is that possible?" Liu Delai instinctively questioned this speculation based on his years of experience in handling cases. In his opinion, even those criminals who were engaged in illegal organ trafficking would never waste precious medicine to heal the wounds of the dead.
"What is the use of this heart?" Lan Yuncheng murmured to himself, but he really couldn't think of what the heart could be used for.
Lan Ximeng, who had been listening quietly, suddenly made a bold guess: "Do you think this Baishu who was born and raised in the interstellar space could be the descendant of Baishu from Blue Star?"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Lan Ximeng, motioning for her to continue speaking.
“Isn’t this often written in novels? The body parts of blood-related people may become great tonic medicine.” Lan Ximeng blinked her big eyes and looked at everyone seriously. The fact that Bai Zhu doesn't dare to come out now means that the injuries on his body have not healed.
After hearing this, Lan Yuncheng felt that the idea was a bit absurd, but he believed that any possibility could not be easily missed. He instructed the others, "Compare the DNA of this body with that of Bai Shu and Bai Ye."
"Do you really believe it?" Lan Ximeng herself felt that this guess was a bit outrageous, and she just said it casually on a whim.
"Maybe? If it's true as you guessed, then we have one more clue to track down Bai Zhu's whereabouts." Lan Yuncheng looked determined. His most urgent task at the moment was to find out Bai Zhu's whereabouts and solve this series of mysteries.
Soon, the DNA comparison results came out. Just as Lan Ximeng guessed, there was indeed a blood relationship between them.
After more than ten thousand years, I can still find my relatives. I wonder how Bai Zhu and Bai Ye will feel when they hear this news.
