A young boy from the 1970s, separated from his family, fled famine and led his younger brother into

At eight o'clock the next morning, Su Nianci appeared on time at the door of Professor Chen Guang's private laboratory.

Located on the second basement floor of the teaching building, this place is more secluded and secure than a typical anatomy lab.

The heavy lead door, the surveillance cameras flashing red lights on the walls, and the two armed guards standing at the entrance all highlight the extraordinary nature of this place.

Su Nianci was only allowed to enter after showing the special pass that Professor Chen had given her.

The laboratory was much larger and more advanced than she had imagined.

Various sophisticated instruments, which she had only seen in her previous life and which could never exist in this era, were neatly arranged.

The air was filled with the strong smell of formaldehyde and disinfectant.

At this moment, besides Professor Chen Guang, there were three young men in white coats in the laboratory.

They all looked to be around thirty years old, with sharp eyes and a calm demeanor. They were clearly not ordinary graduate students, but more like experienced military doctors.

Upon seeing Su Nianci enter, a barely perceptible look of surprise appeared on the faces of the three of them.

Clearly, they hadn't expected that the "extremely important new member" Professor Chen mentioned would actually be a young girl.

"You're here?"

Professor Chen Guang waved to her.

"Come on, let me introduce you."

He pointed to Su Nianci and solemnly said to the three military doctors, "This is Comrade Su Nianci, the youngest member of our project team and the core member I have the most faith in."

Then, pointing to the three military doctors, he introduced them to Su Nianci: "These three are Dr. Zhang, Dr. Wang, and Dr. Li from the General Logistics Department of the PLA. They are all top clinical surgical experts in our country."

"Hello, uncles." Su Nianci greeted them politely.

Although the three military doctors were filled with doubts, they still nodded politely.

They are all soldiers, and obeying orders is their duty.

Since Professor Chen values ​​this child so much, there must be a reason for it.

"Alright, enough chit-chat."

Professor Chen Guang's expression turned serious.

He led the group to a stainless steel dissection table in the center of the laboratory, covered with a thick layer of sterile cloth.

"This 'teacher' has a very special identity."

Professor Chen's voice was deep and solemn.

"He was a meritorious reconnaissance officer we sent behind enemy lines to carry out the highest-level mission, codenamed 'Flying Fish'."

"He was found on the border two weeks ago after completing his mission, but he had already lost his vital signs."

"The preliminary autopsy report from the forensic pathologist indicates that he died from an acute myocardial infarction."

As Professor Chen spoke, he lifted the white cloth.

A young and strong male body appeared before the crowd.

The deceased looked to be under thirty years old, with bulging muscles all over his body and his skin covered with scars of all sizes. Each scar seemed to tell a story of his harrowing past.

"However," Professor Chen changed the subject, "the pathology department of the military general hospital conducted a section analysis of his heart, but found no pathological changes to support myocardial infarction."

"That means he didn't die from a heart attack!"

"What?!"

The three military doctors exclaimed in surprise at the same time!

"Then... what was the cause of death?" Dr. Zhang asked anxiously.

"I don't know." Professor Chen shook his head, his face filled with solemnity and confusion.

"There were no obvious external injuries on his body, and toxicology tests were negative. We investigated all possible causes of death, but we cannot explain his death."

"One of our top agents died so mysteriously on his own soil!"

"The higher-ups take this matter very seriously and have issued a strict order: the true cause of 'Flying Fish's' death must be determined within three days!"

"This concerns the honor of our fallen comrade, and even more so, whether we can find clues about the spy organization codenamed 'Water Ghost' lurking within our ranks!"

Water ghost!

Upon hearing those two words, Su Nianci's eyes narrowed sharply!

Her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly, and she couldn't breathe!

Water ghost!

That mysterious spy organization that killed her biological father, Su Weiguo!

She never dreamed that she would hear that name she hated so much again here, in such a way!

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

Was there any connection between the death of "Flying Fish" and the death of her father?

Could this be a new type of assassination tactic commonly used by the "Water Ghost" organization?

A method of murder that even modern medicine cannot detect?

In an instant, Su Nianci's eyes changed!

That cold corpse was no longer just a specimen whose cause of death needed to be determined in her eyes.

It was her only and most important clue in finding her father's killer!

She must find out the truth!

At all costs!

"Professor Chen, may I... examine it myself?"

Su Nianci took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and spoke in an almost pleading tone.

"you?"

The three military doctors all looked at her with suspicion.

What kind of expertise can a five-year-old child possibly gain?

Professor Chen Guang nodded to her.

"sure."

He waved his hand, signaling everyone else to step back.

Su Nianci put on sterile gloves and stepped onto a small stool specially prepared for her.

She began her own "autopsy".

Unlike others, she didn't rush to have her heart or brain checked.

Her gaze traveled from the deceased's hair down to his toenails.

Not overlooking even the slightest detail.

In her previous life, as a top-notch, genius surgeon, she developed extremely rigorous and meticulous observation habits.

She firmly believes that any disguise will be exposed under the scalpel and microscope!

Time passed by, second by second.

The laboratory was unusually quiet, with only the faint hum of the instruments audible.

The three military doctors went from being dismissive at first to being surprised, and finally their faces turned solemn.

They discovered that this little girl's examination techniques were more professional and experienced than any forensic doctor they had ever seen!

Her techniques for examining lymph nodes, the order in which she palpated the abdominal cavity, and even the posture she used to protect the spine when turning over a corpse were all textbook examples!

This...this doesn't look like a child at all!

He's more like a master who has been immersed in this field for decades!

"Found it."

After an unknown amount of time, Su Nianci suddenly spoke. Her voice was not loud, but it made everyone present feel a jolt!

Everyone held their breath!

"What is it?" Professor Chen asked eagerly.

Su Nianci did not answer.

She reached out her small, gloved hand and carefully parted the deceased's thick hair.

Then, using tweezers, they picked something up from the back of his head near his cervical spine.

It was an ice needle, thinner than a strand of hair and almost transparent!

The ice needle was less than a centimeter long and shimmered with an eerie blue light under the bright laboratory lights.

Moreover, it is melting at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"What is this?!"

Everyone was stunned by this bizarre scene!

"If I'm not mistaken," Su Nianci's voice was as cold as if it came from the deepest hell, "this is a neurotoxin ice needle made from a highly concentrated extract of tetrodotoxin and tubocurarine."

"It is injected into the Fengfu acupoint at the back of the head using a special syringe. It melts instantly and the toxins directly affect the respiratory and cardiac centers in the medulla oblongata, causing the victim to experience respiratory and cardiac arrest within seconds, creating the illusion of an 'acute myocardial infarction'."

"This toxin has an extremely short half-life in the blood, making it almost undetectable by conventional toxicology. Moreover, once the ice needle melts, it leaves no trace other than a wound smaller than the tip of a needle."

"This is a...perfect, almost unbreakable assassination method."

Su Nianci's words sent chills down the spines of all the medical experts present!

As they watched the ice needle disappear from the tip of the tweezers, they felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!

This...this is an absolutely unprecedented and devilish method!

Professor Chen Guang was greatly shocked. He looked at Su Nianci and asked in a dry voice:

"How...how did you find out?"

Su Nianci pointed to the deceased's eyes, which were not completely closed.

"His pupils showed an extremely rare, pinpoint-like narrowing."

"These are not signs that a heart attack patient should have, but they are the most typical manifestations of the central nervous system being suppressed by a potent toxin."

"And..." Su Nianci paused, her voice tinged with pity, "I found traces of dirt and grass clippings under his fingernails."

"This shows that in the last moments of his life, he tried his best to leave some clues on the ground."

"He fought until his death."

After hearing these words, the three military doctors could no longer contain themselves and gave a standard military salute to their comrade on the dissection table!

Their eyes were red.

Professor Chen Guang's gaze towards Su Nianci had completely changed.

It was a complex emotion that mixed shock, horror, awe, and... ecstasy!

evildoer!

This is no longer just a monster!

This is God!

He is a true god bestowed upon the Chinese medical community by heaven!

He looked at the girl in front of him, and an absurd yet audacious idea began to grow wildly in his mind!

He suddenly strode to the secure phone in the lab, picked up the receiver, and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Get me to the General Staff Headquarters! Tell them I have something extremely important to report! It's absolutely urgent!"

He glanced at Su Nianci, then spoke into the microphone in a deep voice:

"Regarding 'water ghosts,' we... have made a groundbreaking discovery!"
