Chapter 447 - Chapter 447: Consecutive Murders (2/2)

Seeing this compound, Chen Yu couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

This substance is a very powerful sedative; just one drop can knock out a dozen elephants.

Chen Yu immediately placed his palm on the abdomen of the deceased.

“I understand, it was double the adrenaline!”

The security captain was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood.

The amount of hormones that the human body can withstand is limited; one dose of adrenaline can enable a dying person to regain physiological function, but double the adrenaline can cause hormonal imbalance or even collapse.

Moreover, hormonal substances like adrenaline are rapidly metabolized once they enter the human body.

Additionally, the victim had been dead for nearly ten minutes; those substances would have already transformed into microscopic molecules, undetectable by tests.

“Mr. Chen, should we search the whole ship to see who has a large quantity of adrenaline?”

The security captain immediately made a decision to conduct a widespread search, but was stopped by Chen Yu.

“Searching now will only startle the snake, and there’s no need to hide adrenaline; it can be extracted from the bodies of marine fish!”

The security captain sighed helplessly; there was already widespread chaos on the ship. If they couldn’t catch the murderer soon, the passengers might riot, and the consequences of that were unthinkable.

“Mr. Chen, what should we do now?”

Chen Yu didn’t respond immediately, instead staring at the fragments of the Crystal Ball on the ground.

The cause of the victim’s death had been found, but how did the murderer inject the victim with adrenaline?

Both Luckne from earlier and the current victim had no apparent needle marks on their bodies.

There was only one explanation: someone had forced the victim to drink a large amount of adrenaline.

However, this substance usually has a pungent odor; even if the murderer and victim knew each other, the victim wouldn’t willingly drink something so foul-smelling.

As the two were examining the scene, another crisp sound of shattering came from not far away. A sleazy-looking middle-aged man was standing on the deck.

His eyes were dull, and large amounts of Crystal Ball fragments scattered around him, his body also gradually stiffening.

Chen Yu’s pupils dilated abruptly, and he rushed over.

Before he could reach him, the man had already collapsed to the ground, breathless.

Sharp screams followed; several passengers nearby, chilled to the bone, scattered in terror.

They hadn’t seen what happened at all; they only heard the sound of a Crystal Ball shattering, then the man fell down.

Such a bizarre scene could be explained only one way: a curse!

Chen Yu’s forehead was practically knotted with worry; how could there be one death after another like this?

According to normal criminal psychology, in a confined space, a murderer would not commit multiple crimes in quick succession; doing so would only increase the risk of exposure.

Unless, the person was intent on dying.

By the time Chen Yu got to the deck, the man had utterly lost all signs of life, having died in the same manner as the previous two individuals.

Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly noticed a faint purplish-red mark on the neck of the corpse.

This mark rapidly faded in front of his eyes and eventually disappeared completely.

Chen Yu’s breathing suddenly became rapid; he had figured it out all at once.

The real murder weapon was the Crystal Ball!

There must have been a dose of adrenaline hidden inside the Crystal Ball, and before coming into contact with the Crystal Ball, the victim’s body must have already contained a dose!
