Qin Luo watched from the side, astonished. Uncle Feng was truly extraordinary!
Miao Zheng was already trembling with fear. If he wasn't a police officer, he would have collapsed on the ground.
"It's just a chain reaction of the joints. Don't be so nervous."
"Besides, there are many ways to make a dead person move."
Uncle Feng put the female corpse down and comforted Miao Zheng.
He looked at Qin Luo in astonishment. Qin Luo seemed completely unaffected, which made him curious.
After all,
Qin Luo was too young. Anyone would be terrified seeing this scene.
But Qin Luo wasn't. Maybe this kid knew something.
"Wow, you know so much, Senior!"
Miao Zheng gasped, feeling a mixture of fear and disbelief.
"Uncle Feng, the autopsy report says the deceased's head was pierced by some kind of sharp object, but we can't find any tool that matches the wound."
Qin Luo pointed to the deceased's head. As a time traveler, he clearly remembered.
It was a sorcerer from the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect. They used ice talismans to control the walking corpse, allowing it to move like a normal person.
Uncle Feng nodded and examined the wound on the deceased's head, but he couldn't find anything unusual.
"Maybe this is the fatal injury. Perhaps we should have the forensic pathologist open the deceased's skull and take a look."
Uncle Feng thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"Senior, Officer Qin, let's head back to the police station. Officer Lin is in charge of this case, we can ask his opinion." Miao Zheng thought for a moment and then introduced Lin Jun Xian.
He was the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team at the police station. While he was Miao Zheng's good brother, he was also his superior.
"Alright." Uncle Feng nodded.
Qin Luo had no objections. He was just here to see the corpse. Besides, he would be staying at the precinct to investigate this case.
Soon,
The three of them arrived at the police station.
Uncle Feng saw Lin Jun Xian taking advantage of his subordinate while she was reporting. He didn't have a good impression of him.
"Senior, Officer Qin, this is Officer Lin."
Miao Zheng introduced Lin Jun Xian to Uncle Feng and Qin Luo. Lin Jun Xian glanced at the two of them, then looked at Qin Luo, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Headquarters must think we can't solve this case, so they sent a rookie here. Qin Luo, right? If I were at the General Bureau, I could be a star officer too!"
Lin Jun Xian spoke without restraint, but he had reason to be upset.
In this area, his investigative abilities were second to none. He was naturally unhappy with Qin Luo's sudden transfer here.
Imagine, just when you finally get a big case, headquarters sends someone to steal the credit. Anyone would be frustrated.
"Don't say that. Officer Qin is here to help us. Besides, you didn't see what happened just now."
"Senior was amazing! He just lightly tapped the female corpse a few times, and she stood up. I felt like I was dreaming."
Miao Zheng gesticulated, recounting what happened.
Lin Jun Xian dismissed it with a roll of his eyes, glaring at Miao Zheng: "You weren't dreaming, you were sleepwalking. You're like a storyteller."
"Alright, make that corpse stand up for me to see! As law enforcement officers, we must have evidence for everything we say and do."
Miao Zheng retorted. Qin Luo watched Lin Jun Xian with a smirk. This guy was hostile towards him and Uncle Feng.
"It did move. Just now in the morgue..." Miao Zheng tried to explain.
But Lin Jun Xian interrupted him with a harsh tone: "Shut up! Listen, Uncle Feng, Officer Qin... if you have any insights, you can tell Officer Ma. I can handle this case by myself."
Uncle Feng's brows furrowed deeper, radiating an overwhelming aura of pressure.
Qin Luo glanced at Lin Jun Xian and said calmly, "Alright, let's go to the office then. It's crowded here, and everyone has work to do."
"No, we'll talk here!" Lin Jun Xian insisted. This was his territory.
"Alright, if you want to hear it, you'll take responsibility for the consequences." Qin Luo didn't give in.
"This case is my responsibility!" Lin Jun Xian's voice turned cold. "If you're not cooperating, and you're putting on airs here, then please leave."
"Haha, putting on airs? If this case wasn't so strange, and if the Chief hadn't asked me to come several times, do you think I would be here?"
Uncle Feng's voice was cold, and he didn't give Lin Jun Xian any face.
"Alright, since you're both a senior and a star officer, tell us your insights, let everyone listen."
Lin Jun Xian immediately called on everyone from the police station to come over.
Qin Luo looked at him coldly. This guy just wanted to stir up trouble. He would call for more people to support him and refute Uncle Feng.
He would get more attention and the support of everyone, making them believe he was right.
This way, he could drive Uncle Feng and Qin Luo out of the police station and handle the case alone.
Qin Luo didn't want to make things worse. Although they had different opinions, no one was wrong. He didn't want anyone dragging him down.
Besides, Lin Jun Xian would later almost kill him and even lose Uncle Feng's artifact.
Therefore, he needed to keep him at a distance.
"Uncle Feng, I'll speak."
Qin Luo stepped forward and said calmly, "Chen Zhu Zhu was already dead before you fired your gun. The Chen Zhu Zhu you saw was just a dead person!"
"Pfft, haha, Officer Qin, are you telling a joke?"
"So you're saying that the person I saw was a ghost?"
"As a law enforcement officer, you're spreading superstition here, Qin Luo. You're a star officer, how can you be so superficial!"
Lin Jun Xian snorted. He was indeed a rookie who got here through connections.
His reputation and abilities didn't match at all!
"No, she's just dead, not a ghost." Qin Luo shook his head.
Lin Jun Xian felt he had found Qin Luo's weakness. Seeing everyone whispering, he sneered inwardly, his voice several tones higher.
"Officer Qin Luo, you're a disappointment. You're a star officer, and you tell me that a dead person can move the double lions?"
"Besides, it's the 1990s. You're young and you're not focusing on evidence. You're talking about all this nonsense, are you upholding your badge and your responsibility?"
"Should we call a few Taoist priests to give her a proper burial?"
Lin Jun Xian was relentless, not giving Qin Luo a chance to retort.
Uncle Feng's eyes gradually turned cold, his fists clenched tightly, he could barely control himself from giving him a beating.
"You just have little knowledge. And she's not a ghost, she can't be given a proper burial." Uncle Feng said coldly.
"You two... are beyond reason."
Lin Jun Xian looked at Uncle Feng and Qin Luo, feeling overwhelmed.
"Alright, if she's not a ghost, and she was already dead before I fired my gun, then tell me..."
"What is she? She can't be a zombie, right?"
Qin Luo shook his head and took out the autopsy report: "Look for yourself, and this thing is not a zombie."
"A zombie is a corpse that's been dead for a long time and becomes stiff. That's a zombie."
"A corpse that's dead but not stiff, is a walking corpse... The Chen Zhu Zhu you saw is a walking corpse."
Qin Luo spoke confidently. Uncle Feng was astonished at Qin Luo's knowledge. It's no wonder he broke through to the Blood Refining Realm in one night.
He was truly gifted. Uncle Feng was full of admiration.
"Correct, my opinion is the same as Officer Qin's. I suspect someone used a walking corpse to move the double lions!" Uncle Feng said solemnly, his voice strong and resolute.
Lin Jun Xian looked at the autopsy report in his hand, as well as Qin Luo and Uncle Feng's opinions. He stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape, shaking his head frantically.
"Impossible, how is that possible... Time of death seven days ago!"
"The autopsy report must be wrong. Stop pretending to know things, Qin Luo. You're a star officer, are you really going to bring this unscientific stuff out? Do you think your superiors will believe it?"
Lin Jun Xian gritted his teeth. Even with the autopsy report, he wouldn't believe it.
Qin Luo shrugged and shook his head: "No, it's our education. We've been told that many things don't exist. If something is unreasonable, then it doesn't exist."
"I know it's hard for you to accept now. That's why headquarters sent me down. I hope you don't interfere with my investigation in the future, and don't investigate privately. I'm afraid you might be killed, and we'll lose a good officer."
Qin Luo's tone was serious.
Lin Jun Xian was furious, but he had no choice. Qin Luo was now the lead investigator of this case.
But he was extremely unwilling. Investigations relied on evidence. When did ghosts and walking corpses become evidence?
Just wait, once you and that old man fail, we'll see who's laughing.
He snorted coldly, ignoring them, and continued to organize the case himself.
"Sorry, gentlemen. Officer Lin is like that, he likes to focus on evidence."
Miao Zheng immediately smoothed things over for Lin Jun Xian. Then he looked at Qin Luo.
"Officer Qin, you probably don't have a place to stay here. If you don't mind, come stay at my place."
Uncle Feng interjected.
"No need, Officer Qin has agreed to stay at my place. Besides, I don't have a car to go back. It's convenient for Officer Qin to give me a ride."
Qin Luo looked at Uncle Feng and nodded: "Then I'll trouble you. I'll also go see A Lian."
"You still have some conscience. Come on, we'll investigate together tomorrow." Uncle Feng glared at Qin Luo.
Qin Luo nodded and the two got into the car, heading towards the clinic.
