Su Mu, with a serious expression, detailed his astonishing conclusion about the use of flying needles as a method of murder to Captain Zhao, an experienced and meticulous leader of the criminal investigation team.
Upon hearing this conclusion, even Captain Zhao, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but show a troubled expression, feeling that the matter was extremely tricky.
Captain Zhao furrowed his brows tightly, his gaze deep and worried. He slowly spoke, "The method of using flying needles is incredibly covert. Without exceptional skills and precise control, it would be impossible to achieve such a feat.
This clearly indicates that the murderer is definitely a concealed expert!
More importantly, he or she seems to have an intimate understanding of the victim's situation; otherwise, it would be difficult to execute such a precise murder plan."
After saying this, Captain Zhao let out a heavy sigh.
Beside him, Su Mu nodded seriously in agreement with Captain Zhao's assessment and added, "Upon further examination, I found that there was still a lingering scent of a particular herb on the victim.
After identification, it was confirmed that this herb is called 'Heartbreak Grass,' which is known for its potent toxicity. Generally, people wouldn't dare to touch it lightly."
Hearing the name "Heartbreak Grass," a look of confusion appeared on Captain Zhao's face as he inquired, "Heartbreak Grass? What makes this herb so special? Why was it found on the victim?"
In response to Captain Zhao's question, Su Mu calmly explained, "Actually, while Heartbreak Grass is indeed toxic, it is also a valuable medicinal herb.
As far as I know, Heartbreak Grass has the effect of numbing nerves and alleviating pain.
Therefore, I boldly speculate that the victim may have been using this herb for a long time or that their profession had some connection to herbal medicine."
Captain Zhao swiftly organized personnel to launch an operation aimed at thoroughly investigating the victim's professional background and complex interpersonal relationships.
Meanwhile, another team was tasked with conducting a comprehensive search throughout Jianghai City and its surrounding areas, leaving no stone unturned in order to determine whether there was any illegal cultivation or trafficking of this dangerous plant.
Meanwhile, Su Mu was equally busy, not pausing for a moment.
Without hesitation, he stepped once more into the chilling atmosphere of the morgue, fully focused on examining the deceased's body.
Upon meticulous observation, he keenly noticed several slightly prominent old calluses on the fingers of the corpse.
However, the locations of these old calluses were unusual, starkly contrasting with the typical characteristics found in individuals who had engaged in heavy physical labor for extended periods.
"These old calluses..." Su Mu murmured softly, his brow furrowing slightly as he fell into deep thought.
After a moment, a spark of insight flickered in his eyes, and he pondered aloud, "It seems more like marks left from long-term manipulation of certain objects." In an instant, a bold idea surfaced in his mind—acupuncture!
Could it be that this unfortunate deceased had been an acupuncturist in life?
Or perhaps someone who frequently engaged with and utilized acupuncture therapy?
To verify this hypothesis was not mere speculation, Su Mu plunged into a vast sea of medical texts, eagerly flipping through pages in search of relevant information.
He tirelessly studied detailed accounts of the unique techniques and operational habits of acupuncturists, repeatedly comparing them with the old calluses on the deceased's fingers.
Moreover, he diligently collected various acupuncture tools, carefully examining their surfaces for any possible signs of use.
His efforts were not in vain; after a long and arduous endeavor, a series of clues gradually began to crystallize.
Through meticulous comparison, Su Mu's once vague conjectures became increasingly certain.
Indeed, the seemingly inconspicuous old calluses on the deceased's fingers were the result of years spent manipulating delicate silver needles.
"It appears that the deceased was likely a professional engaged in acupuncture!" Su Mu informed Captain Zhao of this significant discovery with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this news, Captain Zhao wasted no time and immediately dispatched personnel to conduct a thorough investigation of all acupuncture clinics and traditional Chinese medicine practices in Jianghai City and its surrounding areas, focusing particularly on those acupuncturists who had gone missing or whose identities were unknown.
While Captain Zhao was busy organizing the investigation, Su Mu continued his work without pause.
He understood that to uncover the truth hidden behind this case, he needed to analyze the residual toxins from the plant known as "breaking intestines" found in the deceased's body.
Carefully, he extracted a sample of the toxin from the body and promptly sent it to the laboratory for a series of meticulous tests and analyses.
Before long, shocking results emerged before everyone’s eyes.
It turned out that the toxin found in the deceased was not simply unprocessed natural breaking intestines but rather a carefully concocted mixed poison.
This unique mixed poison not only retained the paralyzing effects on the human nervous system inherent to breaking intestines but also contained several highly corrosive toxic components.
These additional toxins acted like catalysts, significantly accelerating the decomposition of the body.
Faced with such a cruel and cunning method of murder, even the well-informed Su Mu couldn't help but sigh deeply, remarking, "This perpetrator is truly devious; to cleverly cover up their heinous acts, they resorted to such a vicious method to manipulate the crime scene..."
Despite the complexity of the case, Su Mu gradually pieced together a vivid reconstruction of the harrowing events that transpired during the incident, based on the clues left at the crime scene, the condition of the deceased's body, and detailed analysis of the toxin sample.
In life, the deceased had been a highly regarded acupuncturist, known for his exceptional medical skills and modest fame within his profession.
However, for reasons unknown, he unfortunately offended the ruthless killer and ultimately fell victim to a brutal fate.
According to the investigation at the scene, it is highly likely that the murderer used an extraordinary flying needle technique to swiftly take the victim's life.
Moreover, in a bid to cover their tracks and destroy evidence, the killer heartlessly abandoned the body at a desolate construction site overgrown with weeds.
Even more despicable, the murderer meticulously concocted a mysterious mixed poison, intending to accelerate the decomposition of the body and thus interfere with the police's investigation.
Although the clever and astute Su Mu had successfully obtained some important clues, the crucial evidence remained elusive, like trying to grasp smoke.
At this moment, the urgent task was to quickly ascertain the exact identity of the deceased; only then could they follow the leads to delve deeper into uncovering the true identity of the killer and their hidden motives.
As Su Mu and the experienced Captain Zhao immersed themselves in solving the case, Ye Qiu was equally diligent and unrelenting.
This brave and determined woman tirelessly searched for every possible clue that could aid in cracking the case.
She diligently moved between various herbal markets in Jianghai City, carefully questioning every vendor and leaving no stone unturned regarding any illegal sales of the deadly herb.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu also made special visits to several esteemed traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in town, humbly seeking their knowledge on any acupuncturists skilled in using the unique flying needle technique.
At this moment, Ye Qiu and Su Mu were like close comrades fighting side by side, united in thought and effort, working tirelessly to uncover the truth behind this perplexing case.
They firmly believed that as long as they maintained their unwavering faith and persistent determination, given time, they would surely bring the elusive murderer to justice and vindicate the victim who died unjustly.
