You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Jiang Tingxue looked at his perfect profile and those deep eyes that seemed to see through all illusions, and her heart fluttered.

She nodded obediently and immediately got to work.

The deceased was Wang Jian, male, 45 years old.

"The preliminary autopsy showed an open skull fracture and rupture of multiple organs, consistent with death from a fall."

As she spoke, she handed Lin Chen a brand new set of gloves and a mask.

Lin Chen did not make a move immediately.

He simply stood beside the corpse and closed his eyes.

[Godlike Sense of Smell], activated!

[Divine Medicine], activated!

In an instant, the strong smell of formaldehyde, blood, and the peculiar odor emanating from the corpse in the autopsy room was deconstructed into countless independent streams of information within his nasal cavity.

Most of the unpleasant odors were filtered out instantly.

In the end, he accurately detected two extremely faint yet incredibly clear odors!

It has the smell of bitter almonds.

Although masked by the strong smell of alcohol and blood, it was still like a firefly in the dark, impossible to hide.

Cyanide!

The other flavor, however, is more subtle.

It was a chemical fragrance with a peculiar sweetness; even if an ordinary person smelled it, they would only assume it was the residue of perfume the deceased had used in life.

However, in Lin Chen's [God-Level Medicine] knowledge base, this smell points to a name that sends chills down one's spine.

Commonly known as "obedience water".

A potent drug that can cause temporary confusion, muscle relaxation, and short-term amnesia in a person!

Lin Chen frowned.

The simultaneous appearance of two poisons is no coincidence.

He opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and pointed his gloved hand at the severely deformed abdomen of the deceased Wang Jian, which had been ravaged by the impact.

"Cut it open here."

His voice was devoid of any emotion, as calm as a scalpel itself.

"Take a look at the stomach contents."

"it is good."

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Tingxue picked up the scalpel and, with precise and steady movements, cleanly cut open the corpse's abdominal cavity.

An even more pungent smell wafted out.

The intern assistant turned pale and almost vomited on the spot, quickly covering her mouth and retreating to the side.

Jiang Tingxue seemed oblivious, carefully using tweezers to remove some partially digested residue from her stomach and place it on a tray.

When she saw those things clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in her clear, cold eyes.

"Is this... residue from a hangover cure?"

Moreover, there was a large amount of hangover cure residue that was almost completely undigested!

A cold smile curled at the corners of Lin Chen's lips.

"Would someone who is preparing for a social event and has taken a lot of hangover remedies beforehand really drink themselves to the point of having a blood alcohol content of 200mg?"

Jiang Tingxue's heart trembled violently, and she instantly understood what was happening!

"He wasn't drunk at all!"

Lin Chen nodded, his voice making the temperature in the entire dissection room seem to drop a few degrees.

"That's right."

"The alcohol in his blood was forcibly injected intravenously with a syringe after his death!"

"As for the truth behind the fall..."

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the dead man's stiff corpse, as if he could see Wang Jian's despair in his last moments before death.

"The killer first used a drink mixed with 'obedience water' to make him lose consciousness and his body was out of control."

"Then, he was given a small amount of cyanide neurotoxin, which caused temporary paralysis of his muscles, making it impossible for him to even turn the steering wheel."

"He watched helplessly as his car plunged off the cliff, and there was nothing he could do."

"Until the last 0.5 seconds, as the effects of the poison subsided slightly, his survival instinct allowed him to regain a sliver of control over his body, and he slammed on the brakes with all his might..."

"Unfortunately, it's all too late."

Lin Chen's reasoning sent chills down Jiang Tingxue's spine and made the intern assistant's skin crawl!

This is hardly a traffic accident!

This was clearly a meticulously planned, heinous, and perfectly executed murder!

Jiang Tingxue took a deep breath, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Lin Chen had changed from joy and admiration to utter awe!

She immediately turned around and picked up the sample.

"I'll have toxicology tests done immediately!"

Ten minutes later.

An expedited toxicology report has just been released.

Every single piece of data in the report precisely confirmed all of Lin Chen's previous speculations!

Trace amounts of cyanide and gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (the main component of "obedience water") were indeed found in the deceased's body!

……

Inside the meeting room.

The atmosphere was as oppressive as the sea before a storm.

Li Mingyu was restless, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He kept glancing at the door, while frantically praying that Lin Chen wouldn't find anything.

"Squeak—"

The meeting room door was pushed open.

Lin Chen and Jiang Tingxue walked in one after the other.

All eyes instantly turned to them.

When Li Mingyu saw Lin Chen's calm and expressionless face, his heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart.

He stood up, putting on a brave front but looking weak inside, barely managing to maintain his last shred of dignity.

"How's it going, Consultant Lin? What did the test results show? Is it the same as I said, just a simple drunk driving accident?"

Lin Chen didn't even bother to look at him.

He walked straight to the conference table and threw the lab report, still warm from the printer, in front of Li Mingyu.

"Snapped!"

The sound of the paper hitting the table was crisp and loud.

"Deputy Captain Li."

Lin Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"This is what you call...an accident?"

Li Mingyu's body trembled violently.

His hands trembled as he picked up the report.

When he saw the glaring words "cyanide," "gamma-hydroxybutyric acid," and "hangover cure residue," he felt dizzy and his vision blurred.

The report in his hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, making it impossible for him to hold onto it.

"Splash—"

Papers were scattered all over the floor.

It also shattered his last shred of pathetic self-esteem.

Inside the meeting room, the way all the police officers looked at Lin Chen had completely changed.

It is a heartfelt, absolute worship and faith in the strong!

"This is outrageous!"

After reading the report, Director Lu Zhenhua slammed his fist on the table in anger and stood up abruptly!

"This is not an accident, this is murder! This is a blatant provocation against our Jiangcheng police!"

"check!"

The old team leader, Zhang Zheng, also had a face full of anger, and his voice was strong and forceful.

"This must be thoroughly investigated! We must find this heinous killer!"

Amidst the fervent excitement of the crowd, only Lin Chen slowly walked to the window.

He looked out the window at the bustling city, his eyes becoming incredibly deep.

Wang Jian, Deputy Director of Security Department, Ye's Group.

This identity is too sensitive.

This whole thing was aimed at Ye Qingcheng from the very beginning.

Lin Chen took out his phone and, without hesitation, dialed Ye Qingcheng's number.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Feed?"

Ye Qingcheng's voice came through, carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.

"Wang Jian is dead."

Lin Chen got straight to the point, his voice steady.

"It was murder."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a deep breath that was barely suppressed but still clear.

When Ye Qingcheng's voice rang out again, it had become icy and chilling, carrying the fierce killing intent of a business queen.

"I see."

"There will be a charity gala dinner tonight at the International Convention Center."

"As originally planned, Wang Jianhui would personally hand me a revised list of core security personnel before the banquet began."

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted!

He immediately realized the crux of the problem!

"Where is that list?"

There was a hint of coldness in Ye Qingcheng's voice.

"It's gone."

"They couldn't find it in Wang Jian's car, home, or office."

Lin Chen instantly understood the killer's true purpose.

Killing is merely a means to an end.

Taking that list is the real goal!

The killer took the list so he could plant his own people at tonight's charity gala!

That so-called charity gala was nothing more than a trap set against Ye Qingcheng!

"Send me the address of the dinner."

Lin Chen made a decisive decision, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"I'll go with you tonight."
