"What, too frightened?"
Looking at the forensic report, Cao Kun almost spat out the pan-fried buns he was chewing.
"That's right, the cause of death for both of them was indeed excessive blood loss, but they were also experiencing unprecedented fear. Although no autopsy was performed, I can tell you from my decades of experience that their muscles were extremely contracted, and their faces were contorted in a terrifying manner. They would never have had such expressions unless they had experienced something extremely horrific. There shouldn't have been any screams from them in the surveillance footage, right?"
Cao Kun nodded in agreement.
"That makes sense. When people are in extreme fear, they can't make a sound at all, and their whole body becomes stiff in an unnatural state. I'm just curious, since they're stiff, how could they fight?"
The forensic doctor touched his glasses frame, still completely baffled.
"If their family agrees, I'd really like to perform an autopsy on them. I want to see if their adrenal glands are secreting large amounts of catecholamines," the forensic doctor Liu continued.
"An autopsy? Forget it, let's not complicate things with foreign cases."
Cao Kun quickly dissuaded Liu the forensic doctor from his idea and then asked, "Old Liu, are there any other clues?"
"That's all. Without an autopsy, these are the conclusions I can draw." Forensic doctor Liu shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help.
"Alright then, let's do the case closing report."
Although some doubts remain, the existing evidence and clues do not point to any suspect, and due to certain reasons, Cao Kun had no choice but to close the case quickly.
The case closure report issued by the Municipal Bureau was impeccable.
Extensive investigation work was carried out, and all those who needed to be questioned were questioned. No one was found to be a suspect. Furthermore, there were no direct clues about third parties in the room or on the two individuals. This formed a perfect closed loop in the case, and the public was quite satisfied with it.
The case was solved the following morning after it was discovered at night. The team's efficient and rapid work earned Cao Kun and his colleagues a banner of appreciation from the Four Seasons Hotel.
Gao Feng, who has been closely following the case's progress, also saw a video of an interview with Cao Kun on local news.
"Sigh, it's really unpleasant to be the only one sober when everyone else is drunk."
His intuition told him that the two deaths were definitely not a simple case of fighting and brawling; everything else was just a facade.
His suspect was Robert, and he was very curious about how Robert had gotten the two into a fight.
Suppose the key point in Wu Mei's case is that thumb ring. Wu Mei's long-term contact with that thumb ring caused her mental problems, leading her to accidentally kill her husband and dismember his body. Then what was the medium between these two people and Robert?
Or perhaps Robert didn't use any intermediaries this time, but instead took direct action himself?
"Both of them had met Robert before the fight, and Robert was the one who arrived at the room first and then sent a message to the other person. His goal was to get the two of them together and then use some means to make them start fighting."
If we assume this, Robert is closely linked to this case, and could even be somewhat connected to the Wu Mei case.
While Gao Feng was worrying about how to continue investigating Robert, the Zhongshan suit group that had appeared in Shennongjia also arrived in Shanghai.
The three of them happened to be staying at the Four Seasons Hotel, where Robert was staying. Even more coincidentally, the woman in the lead was staying in the same suite on the seventh floor that Gao had previously occupied.
Why are they here?
What is the purpose?
Should we investigate Gao Gao's case or the case of Robert's colleague?
Everything remains unknown.
July 3, light rain.
The investigation into the ring was forced to a standstill. After Robert's colleague got into trouble, the guy went straight to the company dormitory and stopped going back to the hotel.
The factory's internal surveillance appears to be very strict, and it seems impossible to sneak in at present.
The last time I tracked him, it aroused my senior brother's vigilance and suspicion. It seems I have to think of another way.
Suspicion: Robert possesses some kind of device that can make people lose control, similar to the principle of radiation, except that the medium is the human eye;
I need to obtain Robert's professional information from my senior or Xia Weiwei, without arousing their suspicion.
I updated my notes; Gao Ang wants to play a couple of rounds of Auto Chess.
After all, it's a game I've played for over a year; it's not that easy to just give up.
I logged into my Steam account as usual, and instantly a bunch of pop-up messages came in.
Unsurprisingly, they were all friends or strangers I'd met while playing chess before, and they were all quite surprised to see me log in.
"What, you're back again?"
"Hurry up and start streaming, it's been so long since I've seen a God Summoning build."
"Many of the brothers in the group have left, let's start the live stream quickly, I'm starving."
After replying to all the messages, the 2GB game update was completed, the Auto Chess game was also updated, and a new season had started.
Unfortunately, his highest ranking in June was Fortress, so he didn't receive the Giant Bird Crown reward, and he also received far fewer candies.
I familiarly opened OBS, logged into my live streaming account, and started streaming. The long-awaited Angbaye live streaming room was open again.
Some viewers who had followed the account immediately received a notification in the public chat. Upon checking their following list, they quickly joined the chat.
"Holy crap, didn't the streamer go back to inherit the family business?"
"The new season has started, and I haven't fulfilled the goals I set last season yet."
"Uncle Ang, you've finally arrived! I haven't even known who to watch live streams with lately..."
Seeing the familiar scrolling comments, Gao Ang was genuinely a little moved. He could now somewhat understand why those celebrities were so keen on exposure.
He's just a small-time streamer, yet he has so many followers and so much praise. Imagine how much more popular those big stars are with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of fans. Wouldn't their fans elevate them to the heavens?
The thrill of satisfying vanity, the exhilaration of being admired, is more stimulating than any orgasm.
"Brothers, long time no see. Some things have happened recently. They say I'm going home to inherit the family business. Inherit my ass! Inherit the family's five and a half acres of land?"
After adjusting the microphone, Gao Ang greeted his viewers briefly.
"Wow, five and a half acres of land! The streamer is a big landowner!"
"If this were in Shanghai, we'd be eating our fill of rent."
“My family only has three acres of land, and it’s the kind of barren, wild land where the saplings are almost starving to death.”
Fearing his viewers wouldn't believe him, Gao Ang logged into his WeChat account and showed them a photo his mother had sent him.
"I wasn't lying to you, was I? We have land contract certificates, so we're certified people too."
"Wow, that's fucking amazing."
"Showing off wealth, blatantly showing off wealth."
"Your certificate isn't good enough. My free certificate is much more reliable. Are you envious?"
After the game update was complete, I created a room for myself first.
"It's a new season, let's get started. Everyone, let's go, password and room number."
I've glanced at the recent updates, and there aren't many major changes, except for the addition of the Four Wizards synergy. The Four Wizards effect activates the highest number of units in the only synergy on the field.
The highest number of units that can be combined is either nine elves, nine warriors, nine mages, or nine assassins.
After thinking for a while, Gao Ang had a general idea of the lineup to choose from.
Warriors are tough, but lack damage output; mages have strong burst damage, but lack a front line; assassins have impressive critical hits, but are most vulnerable to elemental mages.
But elves are different; the Four Wizards can be said to have been tailor-made for the Nine Elves.
The Great Tree has Druid attributes, allowing it to quickly reach three stars; for damage output, there's Windranger and Templar Assassin; among the Wizards, there's Dark Seer, and if you add Doom... wow, it's practically a cheat code for climbing the ranks.
"Guys, I just came up with an invincible lineup, let me show it to you. Our goal today is simple: one day at Fortress."
Gao Feng had considered this when deciding to set the goal of building a fortress.
The new season has only been going on for a little over two days, and the highest rank is only Fortress 3, with only 32 people reaching the Fortress rank.
A game has eight players, and these fortresses can at most form four games. Then we have to exclude some players who can't play together due to other commitments, so there are even fewer fortress games.
But the bishops are different; they need at least several hundred people.
The "ding-dong" sound was actually a message from Lao Wan.
"You started broadcasting without even saying anything?"
"Aren't you afraid something might happen to you...?"
"It's almost the weekend, what could be going on? Help me rank up."
"Wait a minute, you turn on the computer first, I just started playing a game."
Upon seeing Gao Yang's reply, Lao Wan was speechless for a long time.
I've already cursed this guy to death in my heart: a terminal case of male chauvinism, a true straight man.
But his hand obediently tapped the super fire, and he fired five shots in quick succession.
"Thanks to my husband for the five super fires, love you, mwah! I'll carry you to the next rank, mainly because my lineup was too lucky this game."
It's not really a problem with the lineup; it's mainly a problem with the positioning and ranking.
This is the first match, and it's a points-based game. If it were a casual game, Gao Gao would have quit immediately.
If someone quits halfway through the points-based system, and they're considered to have reached the top eight in the game, then their ranking must be terrible.
"I've followed this straight male streamer."
"I admire the anchor's integrity in not bowing down for a pittance. I love it!"
"Master Ang, if I were you, I would have crashed Wanhuang's rocket."
Ang Gao suddenly found himself enjoying the feeling of joking and playing around with his fellow viewers, and occasionally chatting with Lao Wan.
"We've passed wave 15 of the wolves, brothers, let's start the magic trick!"
Big tree, come on! Four of them right away.
Fengxing, come on! Three right away.
Come on, TA! There are three of them too.
In 30 seconds, the fake Jiu Jing is formed directly.
Three stars for the Big Tree, two stars for the Wind Rider, and two stars for the TA.
As for Merck and Doom, we'll have to wait for the next wave.
"Hey Ang Laoba, you still say you didn't cheat?"
"Chang Wei, you still say you don't know martial arts?"
"The Magician, the Magician is back in action."
"I shouldn't have entered this room, I shouldn't have gotten into this mess."
The chat was filled with excitement, but the game itself was filled with screams of agony.
In wave 16, the first-place player, who was at full health and had become a god, directly encountered Gao's almost fully formed fake nine-spirit team. As expected, Gao broke Gao's winning streak, not only giving away money but also losing 18 health.
"Ruthless, absolutely ruthless!"
"Master Ang has initiated roll call mode; all gods, please step aside."
It has to be said that the satisfaction of seeing someone scream after you've bleed them is really addictive.
However, during the card-drawing process, Gao Ang made a new discovery.
