Lu Siya stared at the wound for a long time before she looked at the other two corpses and asked skeptically, “Are you sure it was a one hit kill?”

“I’m 30% sure.” Meng Chao gestured about. “Based on the guesses on the forum, these biochemical pets were infected with mutated rabies or zombie virus, which is why they went completely out of control.

“Let’s say they were infected with mutated rabies. Think about it, what sort of state should they be in?

“That’s right. Their eyes should be red. They should growl and bare their teeth. They should look savage and subconsciously knock against walls and the door. In other words, they should look very terrifying.

“When their masters see their pets acting like this, would they stand around like idiots and wait for them to bite them? Of course they would struggle, run, or fight back.”

While Meng Chao spoke, he bared his teeth and pretended to lunge at Lu Siya.

“As they struggle fiercely, the biochemical pets’ central nervous systems would be severely affected. It would not be easy for them to find vital spots so accurately. Even if they manage to land a bite on a vital part, if the owners struggle fiercely, their wound would be in the shape of a tear, not a cut. There should be wounds on their limbs, and they should be severe, because if the owners were in a panic, they would have used their hands to block attacks and kicked at the monsters.”

Lu Siya nodded. She appeared contemplative. “What if the owner fell asleep?”

“A few days ago, Blessed Paradise went through a fog invasion, and a rat horde appeared in their area. Over the past few days, there were remnants of it running around. The residents are in a state of high alert, so they wouldn’t fall asleep so easily,” Meng Chao said.

“Even if the old man in his sixties and the woman in her forties had waning strength and did, the third victim was full of vigor and at the prime of his life. It’s impossible for him to sleep so deeply that he’d lose track of his surroundings and wouldn’t hear the growl of a beast.

“But look at the third victim’s throat. You can see this very precise cut.”

Under Meng Chao’s guidance, Lu Siya looked at the wound closely.

She frowned and said, “The flesh there has been completely eaten.”

“That’s right. That’s the key.” Meng Chao snapped his fingers and said excitedly, “After he was killed with just one blow, the pet noticed that the wound was too precise, so it decided to eat all the flesh around the wound. Even so, it left behind clues. Look at the spot between the two cervical vertebrae. Isn’t there a very faint laceration there? That’s a mark left by canine teeth!”

Lu Siya removed her sunglasses.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled in the morgue.

She narrowed her eyes and observed for a moment before she nodded and said, “I can see it. It’s even thinner than a strand of hair, and it’s only half a millimeter long. I suppose you can consider this a laceration. So?”

“So, based on the depth of this laceration, the angle, the length, and various other factors, we can make an analysis and determine that this is definitely a perfect one hit kill!” Meng Chao said confidently.

“Are you really able to decipher so much information from this insanely small cut… no, this laceration?” Lu Siya asked skeptically. “Why can’t I tell the difference between this laceration and all the other wounds?”

“I can’t tell the difference between the hundreds of stones underground either. So, if you ask me to differentiate them, I would rather trust you when it comes to that,” Meng Chao said.

Lu Siya thought about it, nodded, and said, “Continue.”

“Next is the tears on the limbs,” Meng Chao said. “There is no doubt that there are a lot of tears on the limbs of the three corpses, but the tears on the third corpse are the lightest. Many of the tears were not done just once, and they overlap with a lot of bites.

“This means that while the third victim was still alive, he put up the lightest resistance. When he was attacked, there was no longer any strength left in his limbs, and he did not have any strength to fight back.

“He’s a middle-aged man at the prime of his life and a machine master who controls construction machines all year long, but you’re telling me that his resistance was weaker than that of an old man in his sixties and a woman in her forties when he ran into a monster attack? How could that be?

“It’s very simple to explain, though, because after the first attack that targeted his neck artery, spinal nerves and cervical vertebrae, he lost too much blood and his nerves were damaged. His limbs became weak, and he couldn’t launch any effective counterattacks.

“And here’s the interesting part. After the third victim died, the biochemical pet, which should have gone into berserk rage, seemed to have realized that it killed a little too cleanly and swiftly. So, it deliberately ate the flesh the fatal wound left on the victim’s neck and bit the tears on the limbs until they were a mess so that it could cover up that the tears were too light.

“But it ended up exposing more of its deeds the more it tried to cover them up. When the victim was alive, the wounds it left behind while it bit into the victim had slight differences compared to the wounds it left behind after the victim died. A normal person might not be able to tell, but it would definitely not be able to escape my eyes!”

Lu Siya cast a deep look at Meng Chao and mumbled, “Are you saying that this is a biochemical pet that knew how to destroy evidence and disguise the crime scene?”

“I don’t know whether it’s a biochemical pet or something else. I only know what the corpse told me.”

Meng Chao went to the other corpses and opened their abdominal cavities before he continued, “Last of all, look at the three corpses’ abdominal cavities. After killing the victims, the three biochemical pets started eating them. Their first target was definitely the soft and juicy organs. So, they ended up causing a mess in the victims’ organs, but don’t you think that the third victim’s organs are broken into even smaller bits and that the biochemical pet ate way more than necessary?”

Lu Siya frowned a little. “Ate more than necessary? What do you mean?”

“Let me put it this way. If we eat a steak the size of a palm, we will usually cut it into around twenty pieces. The smallest piece would be the size of a beef cube. Very few people would cut it hundreds of times and turn it into ground beef,” Meng Chao said. “I’ve researched the mouths, teeth, esophagus, and digestive organs of many canine-type monsters. I know the ideal amount of food for them.
