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

After dismissing Li Mingyu and his group of "main investigators" who had been led astray, Lin Chen did not linger at the bloody crime scene.

He declined Su Qingge's invitation to return to the bureau for a case analysis meeting, citing the need for "independent thinking space," and drove his RS7 back to the Municipal Public Security Bureau alone.

The city police building, the independent office of the criminal investigation consultant.

This is a private office specially granted to Lin Chen by Director Lu Zhenhua, with the highest level of security and network access.

"Click".

Lin Chen locked the heavy office door behind him, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

He walked to his desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down. The lazy, playful expression on his face had vanished, replaced by an unfathomable coldness and indifference.

"1.9 meters tall? Left-handed? Butcher?"

Lin Chen leaned back in the comfortable ergonomic chair, a cold, extremely disdainful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Trying to mislead me with such a kindergarten-level logic trap? Ridiculous."

He turned on the supercomputer in front of him, which had military-grade specifications, and gently placed his long, strong fingers on the keyboard.

next second.

"System! [God-level Hacking Skills], Full Power Unleashed!"

Lin Chen let out a low shout in his heart, and his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change in an instant!

In his deep eyes, it seemed as if billions of data streams were flashing wildly!

He is no longer the cynical criminal investigation consultant, but has transformed into the God of the Internet, who controls all the rules of the virtual world!

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta—!!!"

Lin Chen's ten fingers transformed into an indistinct blur on the keyboard!

The sound of the keyboard being struck was no longer a monotonous noise, but had become an extremely violent symphony of death, full of destructive and creative power!

On the computer screen, countless complex code windows refreshed like a waterfall. All kinds of firewalls and data barriers were like paper in front of Lin Chen. He tore them apart and crushed them instantly with an extremely violent and unreasonable attitude!

He didn't bother investigating that damn slaughterhouse; that would be a complete waste of time.

His goal was extremely clear from the very beginning—Interpol's top-secret dark web database!

A serial killer like Bai Ye, who is extremely arrogant and has a perverse "artistic pursuit," could not possibly be a first-time offender!

Behind his impressive resume as a returned overseas student, there must be hidden bloody sins!

"Buzz—"

The computer emitted a soft beep.

In less than three minutes, Lin Chen had successfully breached Interpol's seven-layer encryption firewall and silently infiltrated the dark network that gathered the world's top crime information.

The database contains a vast amount of information.

But for Lin Chen, who possesses god-level hacking skills, all of this is like a beautiful woman stripped naked, with no secrets whatsoever.

He set three extremely precise cross-filtering keywords:

Miniature vacuum pump

[Death caused by ultrasound]

Vitruvian Man

"Enter!"

As the Enter key was pressed, the massive database began its frantic search.

Just 0.3 seconds later!

Three cold case files marked "Top Secret" and "Unresolved" suddenly appeared on the screen!

The first incident occurred five years ago in Paris, France.

A ballerina was found dead in her apartment, her blood drained, and her body arranged in the pose of the famous painting "Sleeping Venus".

The second incident occurred three years ago in London, England.

A violinist was found dead backstage at the Royal Concert Hall, skinned alive, his body suspended by wires and arranged in the shape of Michelangelo's sculpture "David".

The third incident occurred a year ago in Baltimore, USA.

A female medical student was found dead in the school's anatomy lab, her death strikingly similar to the first mummified corpse case in Jiangcheng!

The three cases, spanning Europe and America, seem to have no connection in timeline, but the methods used in the crimes are strikingly consistent!

A perverse pursuit of art!

Perfect anatomical knowledge!

And that elusive, traceless modus operandi!

"It really is you, Bai Ye..."

Lin Chen looked at the files on the screen, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

This is not enough; these are merely circumstantial evidences and cannot form conclusive proof enough to definitively smear Bai Ye.

Lin Chen's fingers flew across the keyboard once again.

Following the lead from the Baltimore case, he violently hacked into an encrypted forum hidden deep within the database, a forum dedicated to the illegal trade of drugs and medical devices.

In this forum, all traders use pseudonyms, and their IP addresses are redirected and disguised dozens of times, making it harder to track them than finding a needle in a haystack.

But this was no challenge for Lin Chen!

He wrote an extremely aggressive tracking code that relentlessly traced back along the network lines!

Finally, after cracking 32 fake IP proxy servers, he locked down an account codenamed "Doctor White"!

A cruel smile slowly crept onto Lin Chen's lips.

He reviewed all the transaction records of this account.

A shocking discovery!

Just six months ago, this "Doctor White" anonymously purchased a huge quantity of extremely rare, potent nerve-blocking agents specifically used for neurosurgery using Bitcoin on a forum!

And the last real IP address used by this account during the transaction was ultimately analyzed by Lin Chen...

Its physical coordinates clearly point to—

Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA: Neuroscience and Anatomy Laboratory!

The place where Bai Ye used to work!

A preliminary chain of evidence has been formed!

"The game is over."

Lin Chen closed all the windows, deleted all traces of his intrusion, then leaned back in his chair and exhaled a long smoke ring.

He took out his phone and dialed Jiang Tingxue's number.

"Where is Tingxue?"

"In the forensic lab, a preliminary examination is being conducted on Director Wang's body... Bai Ye is here too."

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Tingxue's voice sounded tired and disgusted.

"Wait for me, I'm coming right away."
