Chapter 280 - Such An Amazing Person (2/2)

“The first two biochemical pets might have gone mad, but the marks they left behind while they ate their food did not break out of the normal pattern for canine-type monsters.

“But the third victim’s abdominal cavity has been eaten until it’s a mess. Even so, there are still too many organs left. They haven’t been eaten by the biochemical pet, and that doesn’t make sense.”

Lu Siya sank into deep thought. “What do you think is the reason?”

“There are three reasons I can think of.” Meng Chao raised three fingers. “First, this biochemical pet doesn’t like eating organs, and this is just an imitation. It never went out of control like the other two biochemical pets, and everything it did was done while it was in perfect control of its body.

“Second, perhaps it has some sort of deep grudge with its owner, and that’s why it left its owner in such a mess. You can say that this is the same as humans when they cut up their hated enemies into thousands of pieces.

“Third, this is a cover. Regardless of whether it bit into the victim’s limbs or abdominal cavity, its goal was to wipe out the real wounds through the flesh that the victim would be sure to miss its attacks.”

As she listened to Meng Chao’s speech, Lu Siya could not hide the surprise and admiration in her eyes. She gasped in amazement. “Meng Chao, I’m beginning to be unable to get a read on you. I’m starting to really look forward to working with you.”

Meng Chao coughed dryly and said, “What I said just now is my opinion. I don’t have concrete proof. The experts from the other organizations can absolutely get completely different conclusions based on the same marks. Before we get to the truth, I can’t prove that my guess is correct.”

“It’s fine. I trust you,” Lu Siya said. “I can tell you three pieces of information. First, the three biochemical pets who went out of control were indeed infected with mutated rabies, and it’s a completely new subtype that has never been seen before.

“Second, the biochemical pets who attacked the first two victims have incredibly well hidden injection marks in their ear canals. The third biochemical pet had the same virus, but there were no signs of injection in its ear canal.

“Third, this victim who was killed in one hit was a member of Heavenly Works Machines. The company he works for has been competing for an incredibly important deal with Spirit Creations Creatures, a company that modifies biochemical pets. The profit involved in this reaches such astronomical numbers that it’s enough to cause many people to go mad for it.”

Meng Chao was slightly stunned.

Lu Siya was really amazing. This was secret information, but within just one day, she managed to get a hold of it.

Also, the mutated rabies that the three biochemical pets were infected with were brand new subtypes? He did not know about it yesterday.

As he thought about this, Kindling flashed at the corner of his eyes, and a line of words appeared.

[Increased progress for the Mystery of the Supernatural Beings by 1%. Current progress: 2%. Increased contribution points by 500.]

‘My guess is right!’ Meng Chao became high-spirited. ‘The murder by pets in Blessed Paradise is indeed related to the Supernatural Beings!’

“We don’t have much time left. If you have something else to say, we can do that while we talk.” Lu Siya tapped her watch and said, “You’re right. There is value in examining this case in-depth. We will have to work hard to figure out the truth before the adjudicator court.”

Meng Chao hesitated for a while before he asked, “Can’t we give the adjudicator court this clue and work with the secret police?”

“The adjudicator court has always been displeased with the formation of the abnormal beast research department. They think that we’ve weakened their authority, so there’s no way they will work with us.”

Lu Siya cast a glance at Meng Chao. “As for you, the adjudicator court will definitely welcome you if you provide them with a clue, but who knows how much they will trust you? It’s also impossible for them to let a freshman like you to get involved.”

Meng Chao thought about it, and he felt that what Lu Siya said was logical.

If this were a normal case, he would be considered to have done the duty of a good citizen by providing the police, adjudicator court, the abnormal beast research department, or other such government organization with a clue.

But since this was related to the Supernatural Beings, he wanted to get closer to the truth.

After all, there might not be anyone else in this era who understood the Supernatural Beings more than he did.

“Let’s go.” Lu Siya observed his expression and could tell his determination. She dragged the white cloth over the three corpses and quickly walked outside. “We don’t have much time left. There are also amazing people in the secret police, and they will discover clues of the marks as well. Then, they will be ahead of us in the case.”

Meng Chao followed her and asked, “Will they?”

“Yeah.”

While Lu Siya walked, she said, “I heard that they used an expert of the secret police when they dissected the three biochemical pets yesterday, which is why they managed to find the needle marks at the depths of the biochemical pets’ ear canals.

“The person who performed the dissection yesterday is Master Sun Yufeng, a veteran harvester from the monster research center. Even he overlooked the details near the eardrums. The other harvesters also hadn’t heard of such a secretive technique.

“In the end, a very young expert who seems to have come from the secret police pointed it out.

“He knew about such a tricky method, so it’s most likely that he has personally used this method before. He’s not a harvester, so he’s definitely a top-class assassin. With such an amazing person around, it’s highly likely that he will turn into our competitor, and who knows who will end up getting the prize?!”

“Oh…”
