Chapter 492 Fluorescent Powder and Psychological Profiling: The Forensic Lab's Reverse Hunt
The dark forensic room was deathly silent.
Night Owl's muscles tensed instantly, the poison wire in his hand was quickly retracted, and his right hand flashed to his lower back, where he pulled out a Glock pistol equipped with a silencer.
His prized stealth skills were exposed right under his nose.
How is that possible?
What Night Owl didn't know was that he was facing a monster with a full-map cheat.
As early as this afternoon, Lin Chen had already activated [God-level Psychological Profiling].
He took advantage of the domineering and ruthless corporate culture of Tianqiong Group, as well as Chu Tianxiong's vindictive personality, to perfectly construct a model of the opponent's next move in his mind.
Since Tianqiong has been targeted by Ye Qingcheng in the business world and its meteorological trap has been broken, it will inevitably send out top-notch physical cleanup personnel.
In order to gain the upper hand, the assassin's primary target would definitely not be Lin Chen, whose combat strength is unknown, but rather his vulnerable side.
Su Qingge lives in the police station compound, which is heavily guarded; Su Ke'er is accompanied by Lin's mother; and Lin Chen has turned Ye Qingcheng's manor into an impregnable fortress.
Jiang Tingxue, however, often worked late into the night alone in the forensic lab due to her professional habits. Moreover, the forensic lab was located in a remote corner of the building, making it a perfect kidnapping target.
Therefore, Lin Chen had already been waiting outside the forensic room.
Furthermore, to prevent the assassin from escaping using the darkness, Lin Chen sprayed an extremely thin layer of industrial-grade "fluorescent developing powder" along the ventilation openings of the forensic room and along all the necessary paths leading to the doors and windows before nightfall.
This powder is completely invisible to the naked eye under normal light, but as long as you wear special night vision goggles, anyone who steps on the powder will leave a footprint that is as bright as a neon light in their vision.
At this moment, in the darkness.
Lin Chen was wearing a pair of individual night vision goggles, standing quietly in the shadows behind the door of the forensic room.
In his vision, the fluorescent powder on the soles of the Night Owl's shoes looked like huge green targets lit up in the darkness, clearly revealing the opponent's position and posture.
"Lin Chen..."
The owl lowered its voice, letting out a beast-like growl from its throat.
He held the gun, moving the muzzle rapidly in the darkness, trying to pinpoint the source of Lin Chen's voice.
"Tingxue, crouch down under the dissection table, cover your ears, and don't make a sound."
Lin Chen's voice rang out again, this time seemingly coming from the other side of the room.
Although Jiang Tingxue was scared, hearing Lin Chen's voice instantly gave her a sense of security.
Without any hesitation, she immediately crouched down and squeezed into the gap of the sturdy metal cabinet under the dissection table.
Night Owl's hearing is extremely sharp, and he instantly pinpointed the location where Lin Chen had just made his voice.
Without any hesitation.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The silenced pistol spat out three faint tongues of fire in succession, the three bullets shooting in a triangular pattern towards the corner where Lin Chen had made his voice.
The bullet struck the metal instrument cabinet, sending sparks flying.
But there was no one there at all.
[God-level Parkour], in full swing!
Lin Chen's body transformed into a silent afterimage in the darkness.
His coordination and explosive power reached the limits of human ability. Using the walls and the edge of the autopsy table as leverage, he moved like a ghost defying the laws of gravity, performing incredible three-dimensional maneuvers in the confined space of the forensic lab.
Cold sweat beaded on the owl's forehead.
His prized ability to pinpoint sounds was completely ineffective against Lin Chen.
There wasn't even a sound of clothes rubbing together when the other person moved!
He felt he was no longer the hunter who controlled life and death, but prey trapped in an iron cage, being toyed with by an ancient beast.
"Come out! What kind of skill is this, pretending to be a ghost!"
Night Owl's composure began to crack; he leaned against the wall, his hand gripping the gun trembling slightly with tension.
"As you wish."
Lin Chen's icy voice rang directly in Night Owl's ear this time!
They were so close that Night Owl could even feel Lin Chen's breath hitting his neck!
The owl was terrified, and every hair on its body stood on end.
He turned around abruptly and raised his hand to pull the trigger.
But it was too late.
Lin Chen's left hand, like an iron clamp, gripped Night Owl's wrist holding the gun with extreme precision, and his thumb pressed hard on the nerve cord.
Clang.
The pistol fell limply to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Night Owl felt a chill on his neck.
A gleaming, sharp scalpel, normally used for dissecting corpses, was already pressed steadily against his carotid artery.
The blade had even sliced through a layer of oily skin on his body, causing a trickle of warm blood to seep out.
"Believe it or not, if you move your body, blood from your major arteries could spray straight up to the ceiling."
Lin Chen's voice was completely flat, as if he were stating a basic physics fact.
The owl was stiff as a board, like a frozen statue.
He didn't even dare to swallow, for fear that the bobbing of his Adam's apple would cause him to bump into the blade.
Fear, an unprecedented fear of facing death, completely consumed this top assassin of the Sky Dome Group.
He finally understood why Chu Tianxiong had said that Lin Chen was someone not to be trifled with.
This man isn't a policeman at all; he's a monster in human skin!
"This...this is impossible...how could you see me...?"
The owl's voice trembled violently.
"Smack."
The operating lights in the forensic room were turned on again.
The blinding light made the owl instinctively squint.
Lin Chen stood behind him, holding a scalpel in his hand, his eyes as cold as if he were looking at a corpse.
Instead of answering Night Owl's foolish question, he raised his right leg and kicked Night Owl hard in the back of the knee.
"thump!"
Night Owl's knees buckled, and he knelt heavily before the dissection table where Jiang Tingxue had just been working.
