"Impossible!" Yuan Xiaotian immediately retorted.

"Xiaotian, be reasonable." Xia Qiang lowered his voice. "You should understand the consequences of being taken away by a ghost during a mission."

"Our mission this time is to ensure the safety of Young Master Lin and Miss Lin. Apart from that, I won't allow any of you to take risks!" Xia Qiang said in a tone that left no room for argument.

After observing for a moment, Jiang Cheng spoke, "I think we can take a look at Wang Jie's death scene. There might be clues there."

Jiang Cheng's suggestion was met with everyone's approval. After all, continuing to search here would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

During their previous conversation, "Wang Jie" had told them that her company was located in the south of the city, called Yourun Mansion, and was said to be quite famous.

When they stood in front of Yourun Mansion, they realized that it was many times better than their previous office building. The large floor-to-ceiling glass windows looked very impressive.

Not far from the gate stood two policemen, one of whom was holding a notebook and occasionally looking down to record something, while the other was asking the security guard questions.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them, the group sneaked into Yourun Mansion separately.

They still didn't take the elevator, and everyone chose to go up the stairs.

"Wang Jie" mentioned that her office was on the 10th floor, and the murder... also took place in front of the iron door of the 10th floor's fire escape.

A police officer stood in front of the fire escape on the left side of the building, and the door of the fire escape was also cordoned off. In contrast, the entrance to the fire escape on the right side was very ordinary.

"It seems that the murder happened in the left fire escape. We'll go up the stairs from the right." Zhou Tong said. Her voice was sweet, but her expression was serious.

When they reached the 8th floor, Xia Qiang signaled everyone to stop. They could vaguely hear voices from upstairs.

Xia Qiang listened for a while, then turned around and winked at the man in the trench coat who was walking at the back.

Jiang Cheng remembered the man's name was Feng Jie.

Feng Jie nodded and walked upstairs alone.

Jiang Cheng noticed that Feng Jie's left hand was always in his pocket. He hadn't seen him take it out since they met.

About a few minutes later, a burst of footsteps came from above, from far to near. The footsteps were rather messy, obviously more than just Feng Jie alone.

Soon, three figures appeared before everyone's eyes.

The first was naturally Feng Jie, followed by two police officers.

One of the police officers in front looked to be around 45 years old, with a sturdy build and graying temples. The other police officer was relatively thin, and must have been over 50 years old, with sharp eyes and an outstanding temperament. He was clearly an experienced veteran police officer.

"Captain Xia, right?" The police officer with graying temples stepped forward, extended his hand, and introduced himself, "I'm Wu Bin, the captain of the city's criminal investigation team."

"This is Team Leader Zhang from the forensic team," Wu Bin introduced the old police officer next to him.

"Captain Wu, Team Leader Zhang," Xia Qiang nodded slightly, as if to greet them.

"What's the situation up there?" Xia Qiang asked very naturally.

Hearing this, Wu Bin's face turned bitter, and he said to his old partner, "Lao Zhang, this is your specialty. Why don't you introduce the situation at the scene to Captain Xia?"

"Since we've arrived at the scene, please take a look yourself, Captain Xia," Team Leader Zhang's voice was rather hoarse, revealing a sense of helplessness.

Then Wu Bin and Team Leader Zhang walked up the stairs, with Xia Qiang following behind them.

But after noticing that a group of people were following, Team Leader Zhang's face became hesitant. "With so many people going in, it's difficult to ensure that the scene won't be damaged. It's best to..."

"It was my oversight." Xia Qiang turned around and arranged, "Zhou Tong, you and Xiaotian stay behind." Then, he looked at Lin Muyun and Lin Muwan with a meaningful look, "You two stay behind too."

To this, Lin Muyun simply nodded and said calmly, "We'll wait here. Be careful."

Lin Muwan was still close to her brother, holding onto Lin Muyun's arm with one hand.

Jiang Cheng looked at Wu Bin, and also at Team Leader Zhang from the forensic team, a strange glint flashing in his eyes. They seemed to have a high level of recognition of Xia Qiang, they would introduce the case to Xia Qiang, and even take him to see the crime scene.

If this was the real world, Jiang Cheng could understand if the Xia family's influence could achieve this, but... this is a mission.

How did Xia Qiang do it?

No, that's not right!

It's not Xia Qiang, it's... Jiang Cheng shifted his gaze to Feng Jie, who was walking on the edge.

It's Feng Jie! It was after he went up that he called Wu Bin and Team Leader Zhang down.

Feng Jie's left hand was still in his pocket, as if he was deliberately concealing something.

After walking for a while, as they were about to reach the end of the corridor, Jiang Cheng smelled a faint scent of blood.

Even though he was mentally prepared, the scene that suddenly appeared before him after turning a corner still surprised him somewhat.

Fatty even widened his eyes and sucked in a breath of cold air.

A female corpse was lying face down in front of the iron door, surrounded by blood.

From the clothes, it was exactly Wang Jie whom they had seen!

Blood splattered everywhere in a radial pattern. The walls, the ceiling, and the adjacent security door were all stained red. The gruesome scene seemed to transport people to hell.

It was hard to imagine that there could be so much blood in a person's body.

Everyone understood what "Wang Jie" meant when she described the person being split in the middle when they saw the corpse.

A huge, terrifying wound started from the right shoulder and continued to below the deceased's left abdomen. If it weren't for the last bit of skin connecting them, it would have almost split the entire person in half.

A deep dent was left on the ground, right at the position corresponding to the wound.

"One hit kill." Wu Bin stared at the corpse and said coldly, "This strike caused not only a cutting wound, but also extensive tearing fractures. Apart from that, there are no other obvious wounds on the deceased's body."

"What's the murder weapon?" Huai Yi asked.

Team Leader Zhang took a deep breath and slowly shook his head. "To be honest, we don't know. Judging from the wound alone, the murder weapon isn't very sharp, but it has a terrifying volume and mass. What fits this description would be an axe or something, but..." He paused, his face a little unsightly.

He had been a police officer for nearly 30 years, and had participated in many major cases. He had found the body, but couldn't determine the approximate murder weapon. This was the first time he'd encountered this.

"But it's not an ordinary axe." Jiang Cheng touched his chin and continued, "It should have a long handle, somewhat like a fire axe."

Hearing this, Team Leader Zhang shook his head. "We thought of that too, and we brought a fire axe to simulate it, but it wouldn't cause this kind of horror..."

Jiang Cheng squatted in front of the corpse without hesitation, staring at the exaggerated dent on the ground, and interrupted, "Of course an ordinary fire axe wouldn't, but if it's magnified several times, it should be about the same."

Hearing what Jiang Cheng said, the breathing of Wu Bin and Team Leader Zhang became rapid at the same time. They didn't continue to stare at Jiang Cheng, but instead looked at Xia Qiang in unison.

Xia Qiang nodded and said in a very formal voice, "It was done by those things."
