From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 340 - 256: The Same Intermediary

When Lu Heng was reviewing the case files, Chen Linian tried to ask, "Lu Heng, when you were in the Capital, did you find any superpower users above level 30 clashing?"

Lu Heng didn't plan to reveal the truth to Iron Blood, because not everyone at Iron Blood was necessarily loyal.

Since the Creator Organization had the capacity to invite a highly classified academician and even control a country's politics, infiltrating the Iron Blood Investigation Bureau was not an impossibility.

It wasn't that Lu Heng didn't trust Jian Qing and Chen Linian, but this secret couldn't be known by a fourth person.

In front of a powerful Spiritual Superpower User, no one could keep a secret.

Lu Heng continued to look at the case files, especially the lab report of 013.

When he saw the information on the lab report, his pupils dilated imperceptibly.

Because the lab report stated that 013's time of death was a week ago.

It meant a week before the time of testing, not a week from now.

But from the time 013 was killed to the time he was brought into the autopsy room, it wouldn't exceed 3 hours, how could he have died a week ago? fгeewebnovёl.com

"This report, doesn't it say that the body was still moving before it died that night? How could the time of death be a week ago?" Lu Heng pointed at the autopsy report of 013.

Chen Linian explained, "This is what's strange. The body could still move on the night of the incident, but the autopsy results showed that the blood coagulation had already been happening for a while. The coroner couldn't provide an accurate time of death, only vaguely determining it to be over a week."

In the past, this would be a bizarre and unsolvable case, but in the Abyss Era, it was entirely possible.

Jian Qing chimed in, "We asked you to come to see if you could help determine what might have caused this body, dead for a week, to still be active."

"There are many possibilities, a Soul Capturing Monster could do that," Lu Heng casually replied, continuing to read the report.

When a Soul Capturing Monster controls a human, it consumes the human's "soul". Technically, that person is already dead, yet they can still move under the control of the Soul Capturing Monster and exhibit signs of life.

When Lu Heng saw the photo of 013's body, he pointed to the heart area and asked, "There's a hole in the heart area, what weapon caused this?"

Chen Linian had already reviewed this case information back and forth many times and also discussed it with the coroner.

He shook his head and answered, "The coroner couldn't determine what weapon caused it, but it's certain that the heart is missing."

"The heart is missing?" Lu Heng continued to flip through, looking for more information.

The autopsy report only recorded that the body's heart was missing and didn't provide more information.

Jian Qing suggested, "Could it be possible that something ate his heart on the night of the incident?"

In the Abyss World, many Demons like to eat hearts.

Thus, this wasn't uncommon.

However, Lu Heng was certain that no heart-eating Demon had appeared that night.

If a Demon had appeared and removed and eaten 013's heart, it couldn't have gone unnoticed.

Lu Heng pointed at the photo of 013's body and asked, "Can we confirm the identity of this body?"

If they could confirm the identity, the investigation would be much simpler.

Chen Linian shook his head, "No identity information was found. Although DNA information was extracted, no match was found in the gene database."

Lu Heng quipped, "This body is burnt like this, and you still managed to extract DNA information; the technology is quite good."

013 was affected by Dragon Breath Slash and scorched by Dragon Flames, burnt black.

"We extracted the DNA information from the bones, but unless we find a matching gene, we can't confirm the identity," Chen Linian replied helplessly.

Lu Heng continued to flip through the case files for useful information, and while flipping, he asked, "Are there any other suspicious areas? Or did you find anything unusual at the scene?"

Chen Linian answered, "There was another body, although it was also scorched by flames, but from its appearance at the time of death, it was in Werewolf Form, so we could preliminarily confirm the identity of this body as Derek Wolf. Do you know him?"

Lu Heng looked up at him, a faint smile emerging on his face, and answered, "Kind of."

There were more than ten Da Xia superpower users who had returned from the Molten Lava Plain, people like Wang Zhehan and Zhao Liwen had seen Derek Wolf in Werewolf Form.

Another duty of the Iron Blood Investigation Bureau was to investigate information about the Abyss Battlefield; every time a superpower user returned from the Abyss Battlefield, they would be questioned.

Thus, Iron Blood most likely knew about the events that took place on the Molten Lava Plain.

Denying knowing Derek Wolf at this point would only expose him.

The Iron Blood Investigation Bureau having called him in for questioning was mostly to first confirm Derek Wolf's identity before suspecting his involvement.

"Where did you meet him?" Chen Linian continued asking.

"In the Abyss Battlefield, the Black Iron Dwarf's world," Lu Heng truthfully answered.

"How well do you know Derek Wolf?"

"Not very well, we just know each other," Lu Heng shrugged.

"Do you know if Derek Wolf had any enemies?" Chen Linian asked again.

"That... he had conflicts with many of our country's superpower users in the Abyss Battlefield," Lu Heng shrugged again.

When in the Molten Lava Plain, Derek Wolf had initially followed Charles Water and had conflicts with the Da Xia superpower users.

If that counted as making enemies, then there were quite a few.
