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

Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau, Forensic Autopsy Room.

This is the quietest and coldest place in the entire building.

Under the enormous operating lights, the "Vitruvian Man," whose skin had been peeled off, lay down quietly on the cold stainless steel dissection table, silently telling of the fear and despair before death.

Jiang Tingxue, wearing a white coat, mask, and goggles, was meticulously conducting a post-mortem examination.

Beside her, Bai Ye, also wearing the same full protective suit, held a steaming cup of freshly ground coffee and was extremely attentive to Jiang Tingxue, trying to show his "professionalism" and "gentleness".

"Tingxue, look, the skin tissue remaining under the deceased's fingernails, after preliminary testing, shows that the DNA does not match the deceased."

"This means that he must have had a fierce fight with the murderer before he died."

"The ruptured muscle fibers are clearly caused by a sudden, violent tug, which further confirms my deduction that the killer possesses superhuman strength."

As Bai Ye spoke, he handed a cup of coffee to Jiang Tingxue, a smile he thought was charming on his face.

"You've been busy all morning, you must be tired. Take a break and have a cup of coffee to perk yourself up."

"These are top-quality Geisha coffee beans that I specially brought from Colombia, and I ground them for you myself."

Jiang Tingxue frowned in disgust, and was about to refuse when the door to the dissection room was pushed open from the outside.

Lin Chen walked in with a calm and composed gait.

"Oh? Consultant Lin is here too?"

When Bai Ye saw Lin Chen, a barely perceptible hint of malice flashed in his eyes, but his face immediately broke into an even warmer smile.

He casually filled another cup with coffee from the machine next to him and then handed it to Lin Chen with a smile.

"Consultant Lin, you've really worked hard."

"You must have put a lot of effort into these two cases, right? Here, have a cup of coffee to perk you up."

Bai Ye's demeanor was extremely sincere, and his eyes were extremely earnest, as if all the conflicts at the meeting and the crime scene had never happened.

however!

Just as Lin Chen reached out and took the cup of coffee!

"Buzz—!!!"

The [God-level Danger Perception] deep within his mind instantly issued an extremely sharp and piercing alarm!

This coffee is highly poisonous!

"System, [God-Level Sense of Smell] activated!"

Lin Chen gave a low shout in his heart.

In an instant, the rich and mellow aroma of coffee was broken down and filtered in his nasal cavity!

Among thousands of complex aromatic molecules, he captured with remarkable precision a faint, subtle scent with a hint of bitter almond.

Arrow poison tree extract!

An extremely terrifying neurotoxin originating from the rainforests of Southeast Asia!

This toxin is colorless and odorless, and can dissolve into liquids extremely quickly. Once it enters the human body, it will immediately paralyze the heart muscle, causing cardiac arrest, and it is extremely difficult to detect in routine autopsies!

Bai Ye, that heartless madman!

He actually wanted to poison himself in the police station's forensic lab, right in front of Jiang Tingxue!

This is no longer a test!

This is a desperate act of silencing someone!

Lin Chen slowly raised his eyes and looked at Bai Ye.

Under the gaze of a master-level micro-expression analyst, a flame, a mixture of anticipation, tension, and bloodthirsty fervor, was burning deep within Bai Ye's seemingly calm eyes!

He's waiting!

Once Lin Chen drinks this cup of death!

"Ha, you want to see me die?"

A strange and icy smile appeared on Lin Chen's lips.

Under the extremely shocked gazes of Bai Ye and Jiang Tingxue, Lin Chen looked at Bai Ye's expectant eyes without the slightest hesitation or even a trace of fear!

He tilted his head back and drank the cup of highly poisonous coffee, enough to kill an elephant, in one gulp!

"Glug! Glug!"

The scalding liquid slid down his throat into his stomach without leaving a single drop!

An uncontrollable surge of ecstasy erupted from Bai Ye's eyes!

died!

This thorn in his side who has repeatedly ruined his plans and made him lose face is finally going to die!

He could almost see Lin Chen clutching his chest, collapsing to the ground in agony, foaming at the mouth, just seconds later!

however……

one second.

two seconds.

ten seconds.

……

A minute passed.

Instead of collapsing, Lin Chen smacked his lips with great pleasure, his face showing an expression of intoxication, as if he were savoring fine wine.

"Hmm, the coffee is good, but it's roasted a little too long, which slightly affects the floral and fruity aroma of the Geisha beans."

fine?!

Bai Ye's face froze instantly, as if struck by lightning, his mind going completely blank!

How is this possible?!

He used an ultra-concentrated dose that could instantly knock down three adult bulls!

Even a god would die on the spot if he drank it!

This man... what kind of monster is he?!

Just as Bai Ye's mind was shaken and his worldview was completely shattered!

Lin Chen moved.

He held an empty coffee cup and slowly walked up to Bai Ye, the distance between them less than half a meter.

Lin Chen leaned forward slightly, close to Bai Ye's ear, his deep eyes fixed on Bai Ye's eyes.

"[God-level Hypnosis], activated!"

Lin Chen's voice became extremely low and hoarse at this moment, filled with a strange magic that struck the depths of the soul.

"Dr. Bai, the coffee is indeed very good."

"but……"

Have you been having trouble sleeping lately?

"I keep dreaming about those people whose blood you drained and whose skin you peeled off, standing by your bedside, screaming... asking for your life?"

"boom--!!!"

Lin Chen's words, like a curse from hell, pierced the deepest source of fear in Bai Ye's mind!

Bai Ye's pupils instantly dilated to their maximum size!

Lin Chen, who was standing before him, seemed to have vanished.

Instead, there were the female staff member he turned into a mummified corpse, the surgical expert he skinned and made into a "Vitruvian Man," and the innocent souls he brutally murdered in Paris, London, and Baltimore!

They were all contorted in rage, covered in blood, and stretched out their withered or bleeding hands, screaming shrilly at him!

"Give me back my life—!!!"

"ah--!!!!"

Bai Ye let out a bloodcurdling scream that sounded inhuman and was filled with extreme terror!

He trembled violently as if he had seen a ghost, and suddenly retreated!

"Bang! Crash!"

In his panic, he knocked over the metal trolley behind him that was filled with various dissection instruments, and fell to the ground in a very disheveled state.

He frantically retreated on the ground, using both his hands and feet, until his back hit the cold wall, leaving him with nowhere to go.

He clutched his head, looking at Lin Chen, who was unharmed and giving him a devilish smile, with utter terror, like a madman.

At this moment, his psychological defenses were completely shattered by Lin Chen in the most cruel and direct way!

One drop... two drops...

A foul-smelling yellow liquid slowly flowed down the leg of his expensive trousers, pooling into an extremely glaring...urine stain on the white floor tiles.
