From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 105 Bored, I'll Fight the Japanese

Shortly after Ye Xiao left, at the FBI branch in Olympus.

Griffin, with a stern face, silently pushed open the door to an office.

"Griffin?"

Charles, another senior manager who was looking at the report in the room, frowned in displeasure.

He wanted to say something more, but when he looked up and saw Griffin's left arm in a sling, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"That's rare. Who injured you?"

"That Dongda student surnamed Ye."

Griffin, abandoning his usual gentle and refined gentlemanly demeanor, resembled a defeated fighting rooster, hanging his head, his eyes lifeless, and replying in a muffled voice.

"You secretly went to see him? Wait, didn't you stay inside?"

Charles couldn't help but feel curious: "You're a veteran who's fought your way through countless missions unscathed, how could you have been wounded by him?"

"That kid is really weird."

Griffin shook his head: "Can you believe it? I didn't even get a true reading of his skill level just now."

"So, do you still think he's a suspect?"

Charles suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"It's hard to say."

Griffin's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hostile glint: "I tried to get him to come with me, but he seemed very resistant; I don't know if he was genuinely against it or not."

Before arriving in Washington state, Griffin and Charles had already begun gathering a great deal of intelligence.

One of them is a veteran of the battlefield, and the other is a genius student. Both of them worked their way up from the lowest-ranking agents to their current positions, which is completely different from Louise, who relied on her family's support.

In these complex cases, they keenly noticed Ye Xiao as a key figure.

Since Arthur's case, it seems that almost all the violent incidents that have occurred in Seattle and the surrounding area are related to Ye Xiao.

To put it simply, you're involved in almost every crackdown on prostitution, so what excuse do you have?

Even if Ye Xiao has a special identity, previously cooperated with the police station, and later had an ambiguous relationship with Louise.

But at this critical moment, they still need to ensure internal security first.

Griffin lit a cigarette, took a puff, and looked at his old friend Charles with a quiet expression.

"I sacrificed an arm to get that person out of trouble, how's your investigation going?"

Charles shook his head with a wry smile.

"I have already sent people to his community, and the people there worship him like a saint, and it's genuine."

"He runs a hamburger shop and often helps the poor in the community and surrounding area. He also frequently tutors children in the community."

Hearing this, Griffin looked somewhat surprised and asked, puzzled.

"Is he here in America to do good deeds?"

"It's the same at the school. Apart from some Japanese exchange students who have some complaints, the rest of the students think that Ye Xiao is an excellent student in both character and academics."

"And what's even more unbelievable is that guy is a genius! He barely attended any classes in college, yet he still managed to get an A+!"

Charles spread out the intelligence summary in his hand, his face suddenly enlightened.

"In other words, this kid is smarter than me, stronger than you, and has incredible luck."

Griffin looked at the intelligence report, his brow furrowed, utterly perplexed.

Could Ye Xiao really be a genius?

While Griffin and his group were having their secret rendezvous, Ye Xiao followed Guy back to Seattle.

"I'm sorry, Ye, the pressure from above is immense this time."

Guy said with a hint of apology, "The robbery that night was truly shocking. The whole country is watching. If it can't be resolved quickly, it will have a very negative impact on Miss Louise."

Guy hadn't expected that Ye Xiao would be so determined to stand on Louise's side.

He initially thought Ye Chi was merely after Louise's power and was only associating with Rachel to curry favor.

Their home.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiao was willing to turn against Griffin and the others for Louise.

Guy asked himself honestly, if it were him, he could never have been as composed as Ye Xiao.

"Please, Ye."

Arriving at the forensic lab, Guy parked the car and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Miss Louise really needs your help right now."

Ye Xiao gleaned very important information from Guy's words.

Louise is in a very dangerous situation and desperately needs his help.

This gives Ye Xiao a great deal of room to maneuver.

"Don't worry, I understand."

Ye Xiao looked like he had a duty to fulfill, got out of the car, strode into the forensic office, and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Ye Xiao."

"Come in."

Hearing Louise's weary voice, Ye Xiao pushed open the door and immediately saw Thompson's corpse lying on the gloomy dissection table.

"Damn it, is that bastard provoking me?"

Louise stared at the corpse and said angrily.

However, there were no security cameras like those at Tokyo University around the scene, and apart from the body, Louise collected very few clues.

"What did the forensic autopsy report say?"

Faced with his own criminal behavior, Ye Xiao showed no sign of distress and calmly asked...

"It's all here."

Louise glanced at the poor forensic doctors who hadn't slept for days and were on the verge of collapse, then casually handed the report to Ye Xiao.

"Mechanical external force compressing the neck leads to mechanical asphyxiation."

As Ye Xiao looked at the report, he skillfully put on gloves and checked each item against the report.

Thompson was still alive when he was hanging in the car that night.

Therefore, Ye Xiao had not yet had a chance to touch the corpse.

When his fingers touched Thompson's neck, a familiar feeling surged into Ye Xiao's chest through his fingers once again.

[Extracted Orange Master Seed - Cunning]

An orange one?

Ye Xiao couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

However, statistically speaking, more than thirty people died that night.

Among them, Thompson was the highest-ranking manager, had the best education, and was the smartest.

Therefore, the quality of the extracted seeds is better.

It seems we need to recruit more talented people in the future.

I think these top students are great!

"How's the look going?"

Just as Ye Xiao was pretending to inspect, Louise suddenly asked a question.

"I haven't figured it out yet."

Ye Xiao shook his head, then quickly put on a surprised expression.

"But I heard that everyone except him committed suicide that night. Is that true?"

"That's right."

Louise gritted her teeth and nodded wearily.

She has been thinking for the past few days about how to get more than thirty people to commit suicide.

This is just too bizarre.

Apart from the Jonestown massacre in the 70s, Louise had never heard of such a large-scale mass suicide in America.

What's even more bizarre is that those thirty-odd people were security guards.

Are they just going to stand by and watch the robbers steal their valuables and then commit suicide?

Ye Xiao thought about it and realized that he really couldn't find any reasonable explanation.

After all, even if he told Louise that it might be a superpower like mind control.

Louise might even suspect that he plays too many video games and believes that monsters like Yuri really exist in this world.

Just as the two were in silence, Ye Xiao's phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at it.

"I'm going out to answer a phone call."

"Um."

After leaving the dissection room, Ye Xiao went to a quiet place.

"Ye, something terrible has happened!"

Hearing Qin Mo's urgent voice on the phone, Ye Xiao frowned slightly.

"What happened?"

"Someone came to the school to investigate you today, and those guys didn't seem to have any good intentions."

Could it be the FBI?

Ye Xiao recalled what happened at noon and vaguely guessed that it might be a trick played by the two new supervisors, who were investigating him behind his back.

"How is the situation?"

"Not particularly good."

Qin Mo's tone was somewhat anxious: "Of course we all said good things, but I heard those Japanese devils said bad things about you!"

"Oh? What did they say?"

"They said you rarely attend classes, your grades might be inflated, and there's suspicion of plagiarism in your papers."

.

Qin Mo grew angrier as she spoke: "Damn it, it's none of their business! They're just sour grapes. If they're so capable, why don't they try to get on the professor's good side too!"

However, Ye Xiao wasn't that worried.

After all, given Professor Erich's temperament, he would definitely clean up Ye Xiao's mess to save face.

With the help of senior students like Williams, the school probably won't let the FBI find anything.

With Louise's help, the previous dealings with corpses were cleaned up completely.

This task has now been handed over to a new forensic doctor by Ye Xiao.

This way, you can make money while reasonably avoiding risks.

Who exactly is saying bad things about America?

Americans are absolutely brilliant at making money through dishonest means!

Although those Japanese posed no threat to him.

But Ye Chi just happens to be in need of a stepping stone right now!

Anyway, it's raining and I'm bored anyway, so I might as well beat the kids.

Since they've already brought it all, we can't refuse their kindness, right?

"Ye, are you alright?"

Hearing Qin Mo's concern, Ye Xiao smiled calmly.

"It's nothing, I've just been craving cornbread lately."

"What?"

Qin Mo was completely confused.

This is such a big deal, and now you're telling me you want to eat cornbread?

"Dude, what's so good about that stuff?"

Qin Mo said urgently, "You'd better come back and deal with this matter quickly, I'm afraid they'll make a big fuss again."

"Okay, I understand."

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "After I finish these things, I'll treat you to some cornbread."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiao returned to the dissection room.

Louise looked up and asked, "Who called?"

"A classmate."

Ye Xiao paused, then suddenly said, "By the way! Do you remember Da Guan Youxiang from before?"

"That Japanese-American exchange student who did drugs? Why are you suddenly bringing him up?"

"I just think we might be able to find some clues from those Japanese-American exchange students who are doing well in Japan."

Louise crossed her arms and asked after a moment of silence.

"Why? Is there any reason?"

"Think about it."

Ye Xiao glanced at her and said, "Didn't they develop a drug that could drive people insane? And then Osaka Yusuke's teacher, Savely, had connections with Congressman Rocky."

"So, could their classmates also be developing related drugs that could drive people to madness, cause hallucinations, and ultimately lead to uncontrollable suicide?"

When Ye Chi said this, his matter-of-fact expression, coupled with his status as a top student at the University of Washington, made Louise somewhat agree.

The case of Old Rocky is still unresolved.

The prosecutors seemed only interested in covering up the scandal, hastily scapegoating Rocky and then leaving it at that.

Moreover, what Ye Xiao said seemed to make a lot of sense.

Since there's no other way out now, why not continue the investigation?

"Let's go then."

Louise took off her gloves and left first, followed closely by Ye Xiao.

Looking at Ye Xiao's retreating figure, the others in the forensic room were extremely envious.

Louise values ​​a student who doesn't even have a formal position so much; what will happen after he graduates?

Louise's car was a black Porsche Panamera, its streamlined body making it particularly eye-catching and perfectly matching her impatient personality.

Ye Xiao instinctively went to the passenger side, but couldn't open the door.

He looked up in confusion, only to be met with a glare from Louise.

"What are you looking at? Do you think I'm your driver?"

Louise tossed her a car key and said angrily, "Get in there."

"...

'

Ye Xiao did not respond, but only glanced at Louise silently.

Today he's driving a car, but in a couple of days he'll be driving her!

On the way to school, Louise crossed her arms and closed her eyes to rest.

Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Xiao also took out the seed and pressed it against his chest.

As the orange seeds merged with his mind, he immediately felt a strange power surge into his brain.

Willpower: Level 3 (3→16)

Mental ability: Level 3 (3→21)

That's a smart person indeed; these seeds are really powerful!

Ye Xiao immediately felt refreshed, as if he had drunk a whole bottle of Red Bull, and felt that his mind was full of endless energy.

Just then, another screen of light appeared in front of him.

[Acquired Trait: Telekinesis - Ability to move any object or creature using mental power]

Goodness, they even have telekinesis?

If you have enough brainpower, wouldn't you be able to fly?

Is it really necessary to become Superman now?

Ye Xiao tried looking out the car window.

With the aid of his mental abilities, he felt his vision become exceptionally clear.

A single glance revealed that almost the entire street was under their gaze.

While waiting at the traffic light, Ye Xiao keenly noticed a suspicious-looking black man among the pedestrians crossing the road in front of him.

He pretended to bump into the Mexican man across from him who was playing on his phone, and in that instant, he reached into the man's pocket.

Is he a seasoned thief?

It's perfect for testing new capabilities.

Ye Xiao smiled and then put his mind to work.

The wallet that the black guy had taken out, under the control of some mysterious force, actually returned to the Mexican guy's pocket.

"Damn it, what do you think you're doing!"

Old Mo was hit and became extremely angry.

But when he turned around, he found that the black man had already run far away, completely unaware that his wallet had almost disappeared.

The black man, pleased with himself, hid in an alley, intending to check how much he had gained.

However, when he reached into his pocket, his expression suddenly changed.

Wait a minute, where's my wallet?

He clearly remembered putting his wallet in his pocket!

As a result, his large trouser pockets were empty, and even the American herbal medicine he always carried with him was gone!

Damn it, have I run into a master?

The black guy's face changed, and he looked like he'd seen a ghost.
