Chapter 217 Where Is the Girl?
“Yes, Old Peng, what if you lose?” Xu Tingfei looked at Peng Jun with a meaningful smile on his face.
“Humph!”
Peng Jun snorted, “If I lose, I also admit that I am not as good as you.”
“You needn’t do it. There is a consensus among the top seniors of the army of Celestial Empire that you’re not as good as me. It doesn’t matter if you admit it or not.”
Xu Tingfei’s words made Peng Jun very angry. “How can you degrade me like that?”
Before Peng Jun retorted, Xu Tingfei went on to say, “I don’t blame you for being very rude to Liu Feng, a senior colonel of our top secret army. But, how dare your guards be so disrespectful to a senior colonel? So, if you lose, I just want you to apologize to Liu Feng solemnly and seriously.”
“You, you ask me to apologize to your subordinate?” Peng Jun’s face turned red again, and he violently breathed with anger.
“Can’t you accept to make an apology to a senior colonel? If I were you, I would accept it.” Xu Tingfei indifferently said, “In the training of top secret army, if I make a mistake, I will take the initiative to apologize to all officers and soldiers, and make a profound summary, so that I and my top secret army can become stronger and stronger.”
“Well, if I lose, I’ll apologize to him.” When Peng Jun said this, his eyes were already full of anger.
“Very good.” In the room, Liu Feng stood up in front of Sikong Nian’s corpse and said while observing, “Now we can start the competition. The two forensic experts came first, so let them talk about the results first. When they’re done, I’ll tell you what I have found.”
“Liu Feng, don’t act on impulse without due consideration. You only have been observing for a short time.” Xu Tingfei was a little anxious now.
Liu Feng smiled and said, “Care is more important than time for professionals. We can start now.”
“Since Liu Feng said we can, let’s start.”
Peng Jun showed a triumphant sneer on his face, and then pointed to the two forensic experts in the room and said to them, “Tell us the results of your on-site inspection, and don’t bring shame on me.”
“Yes, let me begin.” A slightly chubby military forensic expert said, “The deceased should be in his early 40s. He is 1.73 meters tall. His body is stiff. I judge that he has been dead for more than two hours. The cause of death is asphyxia. I suspect that the deceased was mugged, because there are no wounds on his throats. As for clues, I think the murderer is probably an acquaintance of the deceased, because there are no obvious signs of struggle in the bed.”
Another forensic expert said, “Let me add something. The deceased rested with his jacket whose pockets have been captured, which shows that the murderer wants to get something from him. This is an important clue to find the murderer. Also, the reason why we think the murder is the acquaintance is that the room was closed, and there are no signs to show that the door and window were opened by an external force. It’s quite possible that the murderer is among us...”
When the forensic expert said that the murderer was among them, the atmosphere inside and outside the room became grave.
“Good.”
At this time, Peng Jun did not seem to consider who the murderer might be. He first praised his forensic experts and then said while looking at Liu Feng, “Young man, my forensic experts said very carefully, and they spoke a little fast, leaving you little time to continue to inspect the scene. What else can you say?”
At this time, everyone’s eyes were focused on Liu Feng, even all the members of the Heavenly Sword outside also came closer to them.
Liu Feng raised a finger with a smile on his face and said, “First of all, what I want to say is that the two forensic experts are really useless.”
“Wow!”
Just the first sentence of Liu Feng caused the uproar.
“Liu Feng, what did you say? Even if we are competing, you shouldn’t attack us personally!”
“Well, since you said that we are useless, please tell us what we didn’t find.”
The two forensic experts, who responded most intensely, hoped that they could kill Liu Feng at once.
And Peng Jun stared at Liu Feng with a fierce look.
Liu Feng went on to say, “Even if the murder was an acquaintance of the deceased, wouldn’t the deceased struggle when his nose and mouth were covered? There is only one possibility that can explain why there is no trace of a struggle. That is Sikong Nian was killed instantly.”
“It is impossible. There were no obvious new wounds on the corpse.”
“Liu Feng, you pretend to understand now. It’s an insult to both of us to compete with a layman like you.”
Two forensic experts insulted Liu Feng again, in a tone of contempt.
But Liu Feng completely ignored them. He squatted down and gently moved Sikong Nian’s head.
On seeing that, everyone frowned, and the two forensic experts even widened their eyes.
“Did you see it? He has been dead for more than two hours, and his body has begun to stiffen, but his neck is still not stiff. This shows that the veins on both sides of his throat are broken.” As he spoke, Liu Feng suddenly raised Sikong Nian’s chin.
Click
Everyone could hear a small click at Sikong Nian’s neck. It seemed that something inside, which was apparently severed but actually connected, completely disconnected.
Then came the magical scene.
When Liu Feng loosened his hand, five red spots appeared slowly on Sikong Nian’s neck, which looked like bruises caused by being grabbed by a hand.
“Liu Feng, what’s the matter?” Xu Tingfei asked, staring closely at Sikong Nian’s neck.
Liu Feng said, “It’s Vein-broken Hand, a very powerful Finger Skill in Celestial Empire. It won’t injure the skin, but break the veins. People, whose power of fingers has reached the Level of Great Completion, will have great internal strength. They can break one’s veins, and destroy the inside of one’s throat, leaving no wounds on the surface. In fact, it can kill people instantaneously.”
After explaining this, Liu Feng looked at the two forensic experts again. “I believe that you have not found the fingerprints of the murderer. On the neck of the deceased, the murderer has left the most important clue. I hope that you did not destroy the fingerprints of the murderer just now.”
At this moment, the faces of the two forensic experts were very red. Just now they were still saying that Liu Feng was a layman and that it was an insult to them to compete with Liu Feng, but now they were proved wrong by Liu Feng.
This was not the end. Liu Feng grabbed Sikong Nian’s wrist and gently shook his hand.
Everyone could see clearly that Sikong Nian’s body was stiff, but his wrist was flexible.
Xu Tingfei asked again, “What’s the matter?”
“This shows that the deceased died an hour ago, not two hours ago. The veins of people, who have suffered the Vein-broken Hand, will be broken and disconnected, and the meridians will be blocked. Their bodies will stiffen fast, but the ends of their bodies will not stiffen so fast.”
Liu Feng stood up again and asked the members of the Heavenly Sword outside the door, “Who of you knows how to extract fingerprints?”
“I know”
Chengying Sword and Moye Sword took a step forward at the same time.
“Very well, you two come and extract the fingerprints of the murderer.” When Liu Feng said this, he was walking to the door.
“Wait a minute. We also know how to extract fingerprints.”
“We brought the extract powder, and now we can...”
Two military forensic experts volunteered to help them, but before they finished their words, Liu Feng suddenly turned back and sharply stared at the two forensic experts, which made them unable to speak at once.
“Do you know why I said you were useless from the beginning?” Liu Feng said rudely, “Because I suspect you have something to do with the murderer, how can I let you extract fingerprints?”
“Bullsh*t!”
“How can we be related to the murderer? Liu Feng, you can suspect our professional skills, but you can’t suspect our personalities.”
The two forensic experts became very excited, and peeked at Peng Jun secretly, as if they were asking for help from their master.
“Liu Feng, they came with me. They are the military...” Peng Jun also immediately spoke, but he was obviously not as arrogant as before, and even was somewhat unconfident.
“Oh?”
Liu Feng sneered and said, “It’s okay that two forensic experts from the army can’t recognize the Vein-broken Hand. But why didn’t they found the human body skin in the nails of the left index finger of the deceased? It is not a matter of whether they are professional or not. They don’t want to check carefully, and want to cover it for the murderer. If they’re not professional, I will not say they are useless. But they have no personality, so I said they are useless.”
At this moment, the two forensic experts could not say a word. And it seemed that gloominess appeared in their eyes.
Peng Jun was silent, too. He looked at the two forensic experts with a terribly cold gaze.
Chengying Sword and Moye Sword had entered the room and started their work.
Moye Sword was checking Sikong Nian’s left index finger at this time and said aloud, “Yes, there’s human body skin here. It must belong to the murderer. Besides fingerprints, we can also extract the murderer’s DNA.”
At this time, Liu Feng had already walked outside the door. As he passed Peng Jun, Liu Feng indifferently said, “You needn’t apologize to me. I can’t afford it. If you want to apologize, apologize to my old captain.”
“You...” Peng Jun was extremely angry now.
Liu Feng seemed modest on the surface, but in fact he was somewhat disdainful. Brother Feng disdained to hear Peng Jun’s apologize. If Peng Jun wanted to apologize, he could apologize to the person who bet with him. Brother Feng was unwilling to pay any attention to him.
“Alas!”
Peng Jun sighed, waved his one hand, and said, “Forget it. Liu Feng is generous, and I don’t want to be a villain. It’s a pity that Sikong Nian, a super-outstanding scientist, died. His death is a loss of the country. The results of his research are likely to fall into the hands of the murderer, and we must...”
“Research result... the murderer...”
Liu Feng, who wanted to return to his lounge, suddenly stopped, and turned back to say, “Captain, where is Sikong Luo? She is the daughter of Sikong Nian. Is she here or has she gone to a safer place?”
“Er...” It seemed that Xu Tingfei did not care about Sikong Nian’s daughter. Suddenly, his guard came to him and whispered in his ears. Then he was suddenly enlightened and said, “I forgot that little girl. She’s still here. Ah, she still doesn’t know the news about her father’s death.”
“Where’s the girl, Captain?” Liu Feng was really anxious now. When he rescued Sikong Nian from the plateaus of old-growth forests, Sikong Nian said something to Liu Feng alone. Some important things could be lost, but the girl must not be lost.
