After receiving Qingshan's message, Bai Hezheng quickly contacted Southwest University and confirmed that a week ago, a Japanese named Yamada Chiquan had signed a joint research agreement with Southwest University in the name of a professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Tokyo, intending to study the colorful-armed scarab beetle near Wenzhou County in Shuzhong. This morning, Professor Yamada Chiquan and the 18 researchers he brought with him followed two students from the Department of Entomology into the mountains and have not returned yet.
When Bai Hezheng heard the name Yamada Chiquan, his heart was in turmoil.
As early as the early 1990s, the Qilin Special Forces had a young wood and water dual-element mutant. He had no healing ability, but he could use his ability to stimulate the rapid growth of plants and produce vegetables and fruits. Although the output was not large, the combat team did not have to worry about water supply with him, and he was a very good auxiliary system.
Unfortunately, when a special mission to capture a criminal with super powers was over and the team was about to return to the headquarters to report, the team members discovered that the criminal with super powers had left the team at some point and was missing, and the communication equipment could not be connected.
The other members of the team immediately searched the area and it took them a day and a night to find the body of the young mutant in a dry well.
The young man was cut open from the throat to the lower abdomen with a knife, but there was not a drop of blood in the dry well. The team members took the young man's mutilated body back to Qilin headquarters for an autopsy. The forensic doctor found that his internal organs were still alive when exposed outside the body, proving that he was cut open alive in an extremely cruel way.
Logically speaking, such an exaggerated wound would cause heavy bleeding, but the deceased's clothes were not stained with blood at all, and there was not much blood left in the body, as if it had been sucked away. This is puzzling.
The deceased's internal organs were not damaged, except for a black burn mark the size of a little fingernail in the small intestine corresponding to the dantian position below the navel. The black spot was hidden behind the greater omentum in the abdomen and could easily be overlooked if the autopsy was not meticulous.
The brutal murder of a member of the Qilin Special Forces within Chinese territory has infuriated Chinese officials, who demand a thorough investigation. Members of the same unit as the deceased have been repeatedly questioned and interrogated. While fratricide has been ruled out, no one can clearly pinpoint when the deceased left the team. With no leads, the investigation has reached a critical juncture.
Bai Hezheng had just taken over Qilin and was preparing to make a big move, but he didn't expect to encounter a rare unsolved case that had not been seen in a century. Not to mention that Qilin was in panic and the atmosphere was restless because of this incident, the pressure on him from above was also not small.
Bai Hezheng was not convinced and was determined to find out the truth. He repeatedly analyzed the situation at that time. He thought that the perpetrator must be a superpower, as he could take away a living person without anyone noticing from under the nose of a combat-type superpower. There was no recorded activity of superpowers in China near the scene of the incident. However, there was a Japanese tour group that had an encounter with the plainclothes team.
Bai Hezheng suspected at the time that the Japanese Jiuju sect was causing trouble in China under the guise of tourism, and immediately mobilized Chinese agents to secretly investigate the identities and backgrounds of all members of the tour group. Only one person named Yamada Chiizumi had suspicious information.
According to investigations, Yamada Chiizumi was a monk when he was young. After returning to secular life, he worked in a foundation, working from nine to five and keeping to his job. However, precisely because his resume was too clean, it made people feel that it was not real.
Just as the agent was following Yamada Chiizumi and planning to dig deeper into his life background and experience, Yamada Chiizumi was killed in a car accident.
This series of coincidences could not help but make Bai Hezheng suspicious, but the suspect died, the clues were cut off, and the unsolved case was left unresolved. However, Yamada Chiizumi's name was deeply imprinted in Bai Hezheng's mind.
