The noise and shock of the hospital were left behind by Lin Chen.

After handing Li Mingyu, who was out of danger, over to Su Qingge for care, he didn't linger for a moment; his figure vanished into the night like a ghost.

The overwhelming rage had now transformed into a chilling killing intent.

Zhao Tiansheng, you have crossed a line.

I will not only kill you, but I will also make you experience true despair before you die.

……

Half an hour later, at the Archives of the General Administration of Customs.

The area has been completely cordoned off by the police.

The colorless and odorless nerve gas in the air had long since dissipated, but the shadow of death still loomed over the quiet building.

Jiang Tingxue, dressed in a white protective suit, was leading several forensic doctors and trace evidence experts in a tense investigation at the scene.

When she saw Lin Chen walk in, a hint of worry flashed in her clear, cold eyes.

"Honey, you're here."

She quickly went to meet him, lowering her voice.

"The situation on site is very tricky."

She pointed to the ventilation ducts and fire sprinklers on the ceiling.

"The other party is an extremely professional 'cleaner'."

"After releasing the toxic gas, they injected highly oxidizing chemical reagents through pipes to thoroughly clean and destroy the entire ventilation system and the inside of the nozzles."

Jiang Tingxue frowned slightly, her face showing a hint of seriousness.

"We extracted all the residue samples, but the analysis showed that only some common cleaning agent ingredients remained."

"The toxic gas evaporated too quickly, and the cleanup was too thorough, leaving almost no valuable clues."

Professional cleaners, perfect crime scene.

This is almost an unsolvable deadlock.

Any criminal investigation expert would likely be helpless in this situation and would ultimately classify it as an unsolved case.

However, they were facing Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's gaze didn't even glance at the ventilation ducts that had been repeatedly examined by countless people.

He simply stood quietly in the center of the archives and closed his eyes.

[God-level Sense of Smell]! Activated!

[God-level Insight]! Activated!

[God-Level Trace Evidence Identification Technique]! Activated!

In an instant, the image of the entire archive in his mind underwent a complete transformation!

In the air, those trace gas residues that have long since dissipated and cannot be detected by the naked eye or instruments, measured in molecules, are recaptured, analyzed, and reconstructed by his god-like sense of smell!

In that space, the trajectory of every speck of dust and the microscopic traces on the surface of every object became crystal clear under his godlike insight!

At this moment, his brain seemed to transform into a time-reversal machine!

At the time of the incident, the diffusion path of the toxic gas sprayed from the nozzle, the changes in concentration, the chemical reactions with other substances in the air... all of this was transformed into an incredibly detailed, dynamic three-dimensional image, perfectly recreated in his mind!

"wrong……"

Lin Chen frowned slightly.

He "saw" that the deadly poisonous fog, during its spread, reacted with something at an extremely special, microscopic level!

He suddenly opened his eyes, and two terrifying beams of light shot out from his deep eyes!

His gaze passed through rows of huge filing shelves, and finally, with remarkable precision, settled on a very inconspicuous potted green ivy placed in the far corner of the archives to purify the air!

That potted green ivy looked no different from any other ordinary green plant, still with lush foliage.

But Lin Chen saw a fatal flaw!

He strode over.

Jiang Tingxue and the other experts were stunned, not understanding what he was going to do.

Lin Chen squatted down and activated [God-level Horticulture Mastery] and [God-level Botany].

He reached out and, with extreme care, picked up a seemingly ordinary green ivy leaf.

To the average person, this leaf is lush and vibrant, full of life.

But under Lin Chen's god-level insight, which was comparable to a high-powered electron microscope, he could clearly see that on the surface of this leaf, around the countless tiny stomata responsible for photosynthesis, there were extremely tiny spots that were already turning yellow and dying, which were completely invisible to the naked eye!

"Found it."

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

He stood up and handed the leaf to Jiang Tingxue, who looked puzzled.

"Tingxue, immediately use the highest precision mass spectrometer to extract the stomatal residue from this leaf."

Lin Chen's voice was filled with an unquestionable certainty.

"In order to increase the stability and penetrability of this military-grade nerve gas, a very special stabilizer—high-purity sulfur fluoride—must be added during the synthesis process."

"Sulfur fluoride itself is non-toxic, but it has a fatal characteristic: it reacts with chlorophyll in plants in a very special and irreversible oxidation reaction, thereby damaging the cell structure around the stomata of the leaves and forming these microscopic yellow spots!"

Lin Chen paused, his gaze sharp as a blade, sweeping over all the experts present who were utterly shocked.

"This sulfur fluoride, with a purity of up to 99.99%, is subject to the strictest level of national control due to its industrial and military sensitivity."

"In the entire capital city, there is only one chemical plant qualified to produce and store it!"

Lin Chen spoke slowly and deliberately, uttering the name that ignited his murderous intent.

"—Yuanyang Chemical, a subsidiary of Tiansheng Group!"

boom!

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Jiang Tingxue reacted instantly. Looking at the green ivy leaf in her hand, her clear and beautiful eyes shone with an unprecedented light!

Flawless!

This is an absolutely flawless deduction!

Who would have thought that in a perfectly cleaned crime scene, the final clue to solving the case would be hidden on the most inconspicuous plant leaf!

This is no longer about solving a case!

This is art! This is a game-changer!

"Zhao Tiansheng..."

The cold killing intent in Lin Chen's eyes boiled once again.

"I've finally caught you by the tail."

The proof is like a mountain!

This time, he will crush this high-ranking "Earl" and the dirty chemical empire behind him into dust!
