A muscular and towering figure leaped high like a cannonball, unleashing a heavy punch with the force of a thousand pounds! His opponent, however, dodged frantically at the brink of life and death. The deadly fist landed on the hard slaughtering platform with a deafening metallic wail! Gao Jin’s eyes flickered slightly as he regained his composure. Then, his gaze fixed on a makeshift wall built from fire-resistant bricks not far away. In the center of the wall, there was a massive hole with a diameter of over two meters. Broken bricks scattered outside, as if a giant siege hammer had struck them head-on. On the wall directly opposite the hole, someone had used the victim’s blood to paint a huge and horrifying smiley face. The smile was twisted and manic, more like a flaunt, even more like a blatant provocation. As it was, no matter how brutal and fierce an ordinary murder case is, it typically wouldn’t involve the Special Search Team. But this kind of destructive power, beyond normal comprehension, and the inhuman death condition of the victim had clearly surpassed the scope of conventional crime. The police immediately reported to the East Capital Police Headquarters, which then relayed to the Special Search Team, issuing an order for investigatory assistance. Hearing that the crime scene was in Guilan District, Gao Jin immediately connected it to the capture operation he was in charge of last night. He volunteered to take over the case. He couldn’t even spare a moment to rest, rushing over with his trusted subordinates, hoping to find new clues. Zhou Liang suddenly pointed to a part in front of the hole and questioned: "Captain Gao, Officer Liu, doesn’t this area seem a bit unusual?" Gao Jin heard the words and looked over. It was a cement floor of about a dozen square meters, looking exceptionally "clean" compared to the bloody mess surrounding it. Though not spotless, it clearly lacked the splattered blood and scattered fragments of bones and flesh, as if someone had deliberately cleaned it. In the wall corner facing this area, more tools, debris, and body parts were piled. Liu Yuan saw this, assuming Zhou Liang was questioning his professional competence, quickly explained: "Our team is very professional, never would make the rookie mistake of tampering with the crime scene." "This area, according to the forensic pathologist’s speculation, might have been affected by last night’s strong winds, blowing through that hole causing this effect." Zhou Liang walked closer to the area, observed carefully, then shook his head in disagreement: "If it was wind, from an aerodynamics perspective, the airflow should be diffuse and wouldn’t form such a distinct fan-shaped area." "Moreover, you see, the accumulated shape of the debris looks more like it was repeatedly impacted by a continuous and strong directional airflow." Gao Jin nodded in approval, agreeing with Zhou Liang’s judgment. Ali scratched his head in confusion, joining the analysis: "Could it be the murderer clearing traces? Otherwise, how could the ground be made so clean?" "But... why only clean this part?" "This isn’t cleaning the scene." Gao Jin spoke slowly, voice low: "It’s the aftermath formed in battle..." As he spoke, his eyes deep, fell again on the deep fist mark on the slaughtering platform. At this moment, "ring ring—", an urgent ringtone abruptly sounded. Liu Yuan immediately apologized, took out his phone from his pocket. He walked aside to answer, deliberately lowered his voice to avoid disrupting the scene, but the surprise in his tone still came through. He seemed to be on the phone with a subordinate. "The police car we lost in Wenchuan District last night has just been found on Silver Lake Road..." "Alright, bring it back first, make records for inspection and handover, report to me after I return..." Hearing the words "police car", Gao Jin’s eyes moved. "A missing police car?" A moment later, Liu Yuan walked quickly back, and upon seeing Gao Jin’s question, he explained: "Last night our district police station received orders to cooperate with your department’s operation for blockades and alerts, right?" "One of my colleagues had his patrol car requisitioned by someone claiming to be an officer from the Special Search Team, saying it was to pursue a serious criminal." "That officer even showed his credentials at the time, seems... also had the surname Zhou." "After the colleague returned, he immediately reported, but we verified with higher-ups and found no requisition record." "However, now that the car is found, that officer must have been busy with important matters, and forgot to register and return it." Saying this, he inadvertently glanced at Zhou Liang standing behind Gao Jin. Zhou Liang’s expression changed slightly, and his neck shrunk unconsciously. Then, exchanged a glance of surprise with Ali beside him. Fortunately, Chief Gao only glanced at him mildly without further questioning. This made Zhou Liang release a slight sigh of relief. Gao Jin’s attention was entirely focused on the doubts within the case at hand. His gaze deep and eerie, scrutinizing the corpse hanging on the iron hook and the blood painting on the wall, his mind rapidly turning. The murderer and the victim clearly were not ordinary people. Especially the murderer, the sheer physical destructive power demonstrated left Gao Jin questioning, even wearing Reproductive Armor, he could only barely manage it. This suggested that the person’s strength might be on par with his own. Is it a vendetta between power users, or is there another hidden agenda? Gao Jin inevitably linked this case with last night’s mission.
