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

In the afternoon, a small patch of dark clouds suddenly gathered in the suburbs of Jiangcheng City, which had been clear.

The dark clouds arrived without warning, appearing out of nowhere, quickly obscuring the sunlight and plunging the entire suburbs into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled rumble of thunder came from afar, and the air was filled with a damp and oppressive atmosphere.

The police station received calls almost simultaneously: a murder had occurred at a top-tier golf course in the suburbs!

Lin Chen and Su Qingge led their team to the scene.

The closer you get to the stadium, the stronger the acrid smell in the air becomes—a pungent odor mixed with blood and charcoal that makes you want to vomit.

The scene has been cordoned off by stadium security, but police cars and ambulances have blocked the entrance.

When Lin Chen and Su Qingge arrived at the 18th green, they were met with a shocking sight.

The deceased was a middle-aged man who lay on the lush green lawn, his body charred black and his face unrecognizable.

His body was severely carbonized, his skin cracked, revealing his bare bones.

The strong smell of burning in the air was coming from him, as if he were a roasted corpse.

"It's General Manager Wang!"

A stadium worker, his face ashen, pointed at the body and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Wang Defa, the new energy tycoon of Jiangcheng City!"

A metal golf club lay scattered nearby, its shaft blackened by the heat, with even traces of melting at the tip.

Li Mingyu took the lead and rushed to the body. He was wearing gloves, but he didn't dare to touch the body directly. He just circled the charred corpse twice.

"Team Leader Su, this case is too simple!"

Li Mingyu said this to Su Qingge with great confidence, his tone carrying a sense of smugness at having discovered the "truth".

"The deceased was swinging a metal golf club during a thunderstorm when he was struck by lightning—it was purely accidental! I checked the weather forecast; there was indeed localized severe convective weather just now!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the dissipating clouds overhead, as if providing "scientific evidence" for his judgment.

The surrounding police officers nodded in agreement.

After all, this looks like an extremely unlucky divine retribution.

While rare, it's not unheard of for someone to be struck by lightning while swinging a metal golf club on an empty golf course.

"Indeed, the thunderstorm came very suddenly and was concentrated in the area around the stadium."

A technician echoed this sentiment.

"Judging from the degree of charring at the scene, it is a typical lightning strike injury."

Su Qingge frowned as she looked at the charred corpse and scattered golf clubs, but did not rush to conclusions.

Her gaze swept around, and she felt that something was amiss.

Lin Chen stood at the edge of the green, not approaching the corpse.

Although his [God-level Danger Perception] did not issue an alarm because the fatal danger had passed, he could sense that there were still extremely deliberate traces of human intervention left at the scene.

It was a sense of incongruity, a force that didn't belong to nature.

He glanced coldly at Li Mingyu, his tone carrying an undisguised sarcasm.

"An accident? Captain Li, if you don't need your brain, you can donate it to someone in need."

Li Mingyu was taken aback by Lin Chen's words, and his face turned bright red.

"Consultant Lin, what do you mean? Do you think this wasn't an accident? Do you think someone can control lightning to kill people?"

"In an open area, a human body might attract lightning, but shouldn't you check what's within ten meters of him?"

Lin Chen did not answer Li Mingyu's question directly, but simply pointed to the grass around the corpse.

Li Mingyu looked in the direction Lin Chen pointed, and saw nothing but lush green grass and a few sparse shrubs.

He became even more resentful.

"What's around here? Just grass and a few short trees, isn't it?"

"snort."

Lin Chen snorted coldly and ignored Li Mingyu.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and in the air, besides the smell of burning, there seemed to be a very faint trace of a chemical odor that did not belong to nature.

[Mastery of God-level Meteorology] and [Mastery of God-level Physics] were operating simultaneously in Lin Chen's mind.

He began to build a microclimate model of the entire golf course in his mind.

He visualized all the data in his mind, including air humidity, temperature gradient, wind direction, and air pressure changes.

He can "see" the tiny particles in the air that are invisible to the naked eye, "sense" the flow of the wind, and even "calculate" the conditions for the formation of lightning.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the dissipating dark clouds overhead before settling on a grove of trees at the edge of the stadium in the distance.

Seeing Lin Chen's thoughtful expression, Su Qingge knew that he must have discovered something again.

She gestured to the other officers not to disturb Lin Chen for the time being, then walked to his side and asked softly.

"Lin Chen, have you discovered something?"

Lin Chen did not answer immediately; he simply walked towards the corpse.

Instead of examining the body itself, he crouched down and carefully observed the grass around it.

A large area of ​​the grassland was scorched, forming an irregular circle.

However, Lin Chen discovered that the charred area was not uniform, but rather radiated outwards from the body, with several areas being significantly darker in color.

"Team Leader Su, notify the technical department to take samples from these scorched grass areas for analysis."

Lin Chen pointed to the areas that were charred even more deeply.

"In particular, it is important to test for any chemical residues."

Su Qingge immediately understood and turned to instruct the technical staff to take samples.

Li Mingyu looked at Lin Chen's actions, pursed his lips, and muttered to himself.

"That's just making things complicated. It was just struck by lightning, what kind of chemical residue could there be?"

Lin Chen ignored Li Mingyu's mutterings.

He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the entire field once more, finally settling on a small hill not far away.

There was a dense forest on the hillside, right where the wind was blowing.

He knew this was definitely not a simple accident.

This was a meticulously planned murder, a perfect crime disguised using the forces of nature.

The killer not only possessed profound knowledge of meteorology and physics, but also had access to some unknown technology.

"Let's go take a look at that grove of trees."

Lin Chen said to Su Qingge.

Su Qingge nodded and, with several police officers, followed Lin Chen toward the grove of trees.

Li Mingyu watched their retreating figures, feeling resentful but not daring to say anything more. He could only follow behind, muttering to himself, "What nonsense about ghosts and gods? People still believe in this these days."

However, Lin Chen's gaze grew even colder.

He knew that the real killer was far more terrifying than Li Mingyu had imagined.
