Director Chen and Old Man Bai were old friends, so they didn't have the mood for idle chit-chat. After exchanging greetings, he led them straight to the autopsy room. The entire police team followed closely behind, but they only dared to discuss in hushed tones, fearing that Director Chen would notice and chase them out of the autopsy room. This case was too bizarre, and no one wanted to miss this crucial moment.
The autopsy room already had the forensic pathologists in charge of this case waiting, two veteran forensic pathologists plus four assistants. As soon as Chen and others entered, they didn't say a word, lifted the white cloth on the dissection table in front of them, revealing the appearance of the victim.
She was just a girl of sixteen or seventeen, the age of flowers, but forever frozen in this moment. Due to long-term freezing, the corpse presented a pale blue color, and there was a certain degree of decay. Except for a few forensic doctors, almost everyone showed some discomfort, but Xiao Jingchen's eyes widened, she struggled slightly, Bai Xijing understood and put her down, she immediately ran over with a patter, but was stopped by a quick-witted forensic assistant.
"Halt, young one! This isn't a place for you to play, hurry up and get out!" The older forensic doctor said disapprovingly, his tone wasn't too heavy towards the child, but his gaze turned to Bai Xijing was extremely unpleasant. "The autopsy room is a very sacred place, how could you bring a child in here?"
Bai Xi gave him a chilly glance, her mouth curving into a sarcastic smile. The forensic doctor felt her disdain and glared at her, wanting to shoo her away, but was stopped by Chen's airy words: "Let her through."
As soon as this was said, not only the forensic doctors and assistants, but also other police officers were shocked. She's just a child, boss, let her get close to the corpse... is that really okay?
Xiao Jingchen raised her head and glanced at the assistant who was blocking her way, then turned around and easily dodged his obstruction to arrive at the autopsy table. The autopsy table was only about waist-high for an adult, but it was almost as tall as Xiao Jingchen's head. She stretched out her hand to grab the edge of the autopsy table and lightly jumped up, effortlessly landing on top of the table.
The autopsy table is two meters long, and the deceased is only about 1.6 meters tall, so there is a gap at both ends of the feet and head, which is enough for Xiaojing to stand on.
She squatted beside the woman's head, her big eyes seriously and carefully examining the female donor from head to toe. She was clean and tidy, with almost no external injuries, except for a small indentation about the size of a green bean on her chest bone, which would not be noticeable if one did not look closely.
Xiao Jingchen was stunned and stared blankly, this is...
She stretched out her small paws, and Bai Xijing quickly took a pair of gloves from the side table and put them on her. Xiaojing smiled sweetly at her foolish father, then gently pressed down on the small indentation on the chest bone of the corpse, causing the woman's entire chest to collapse inward.
The two forensic doctors' pupils suddenly contracted, their eyes filled with inquiry as they looked at Xiaojingchen, and in just one glance, they discovered the key point. Was it a coincidence?
Although every police officer present had heard the autopsy results more than once, the slightly younger forensic doctor explained responsibly, "In this case of 111, all the deceased died in a very strange way. They had no external injuries and their internal organs were intact, but their entire skeleton was completely shattered, yet still maintained its original shape. It looks like a normal corpse, but as soon as you touch it, the characteristic of having no skeletal support will appear."
The old forensic doctor sighed and said, "I've been a forensic doctor for so many years, but this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. I completely can't understand how the murderer shattered all of the victim's bones without leaving any wounds."
"It's 'Xīng Máng'." The milky voice was laced with a hint of solemnity, and before others could react, Chen Zong's spirit jolted, and he hastily asked, "Have you seen it?"
It wasn't until then that everyone finally realized that the so-called last witness was not any of those five adults, but this child who looked like he might not even be qualified to attend elementary school. Although everyone thought it was a bit unbelievable, nothing could be more unbelievable than this murder case anyway.
Xiao Jing dust nodded, his meaty paws pointing at the small indentation on the chest bone of the corpse. "This is a star seed. Once 'Starlight' is used, the power that bursts out instantly will follow the star seed into the skeleton and then spread in all directions, causing the entire skeletal structure to collapse."
For some reason, when they heard Xiao Jingchen's description, all the police officers subconsciously touched their chest bones and felt a chill run down their necks.
He Mingbo couldn't help but ask, "What is 'Starlight'? A kind of weapon?"
Xiao Jingchen shook his head, "It's a kind of kung fu, a type of inch force."
Several police officers almost burst out laughing. Kung fu? Inch force? The little guy thought he was filming a martial arts movie, it's too funny.
Director Chen glanced at the police officers with a serious expression and asked softly, "Do you know who would use this kind of kung fu?"
Xiao Jingchen nodded, and Chen Zong and He Mingbo's eyes lit up at the same time, expectantly and anxiously staring at Xiao Jingchen. But unexpectedly, Xiao Jingchen's paw turned and pointed to himself, saying "I will."
"Pfft——" Finally, someone couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out, and it wasn't just one person.
Xiao Jingchen tilted her head slightly, and she could clearly feel the suspicion and ridicule from the crowd... She pouted, a nun doesn't speak nonsense, everything she said was true. With a wronged look at Bai Xijing, just as stupid dad was about to voice his support for his beloved daughter, Xiao Jingchen suddenly knelt on one knee in front of the autopsy table, her waist slightly arched, muscles tense, her claw-like fists raised beside her ears, her index finger joints slightly protruding from her fist, forming a phoenix-eye shape. She looked seriously at the police officer who was smiling the brightest and said, "Do you want to try? I promise not to hurt your life."
The little policeman's smile froze on his face, he stared straight at Xiaojingchen's fist, and for some reason, he felt a wave of pain in his bones, he was startled, hastily shook his head, and shrunk his neck to hide behind the crowd.
Although everyone didn't understand how a seasoned police officer could be scared by a little kid, they also didn't dare to underestimate Xiao Jingchen again.
Xiao Jingchu jumped down from the autopsy table, threw away his gloves and walked back to Bai Xijing's side, stretched out his hand to grab his little finger tightly. Bai Xijing suddenly felt a bit of pain in his finger bones, "Hey girl, can we wash our hands first?"
Xiao Jingchen completely ignored her silly father's inner monologue and stood obediently by his side, being a well-behaved good child.
Having waited for half a day without seeing the little guy continue to explain, He Mingbo couldn't help but ask, "Can you confirm who the murderer is?"
Xiao Jingchen shook his head, and the crowd couldn't help but feel disappointed. However, Xiao Jingchen dropped a bombshell, saying, "I only know that the murderer's Xingmang skills are far from being mastered."
"How did you know he didn't get it home?" The older forensic doctor woke up from his shock and subconsciously retorted, "I've examined the body, the deceased's skeleton was completely pulverized, with the largest piece not exceeding three centimeters. Can this still be called 'not getting it home'?"
Xiao Jingchen silently let out a sigh and explained kindly, "The key to mastering martial arts doesn't lie in the damage it can inflict, but rather how much of its essence one has grasped. Although he shattered bones, at the same time, the person died. The 'Starlight' itself was never meant for killing."
Everyone looked enlightened, and unknowingly, these seasoned detectives were completely controlled by Xiaojing's rhythm, even their thinking was led by her nose.
"Xīng Máng" is a killing skill? This is a good question!!
"Xīng Máng" is what Ming Rán Shī Zhí taught, but Jié Chén thought that Ming Rán Shī Zhí was an outsider, and a monk shouldn't break the killing precept. So, he believed that the "Xīng Máng" he taught couldn't possibly be used for killing. However, completely forgetting that "Xīng Máng" was actually a skill Ming Rán Shī Zhí knew before becoming a monk, Jié Chén unconsciously fooled everyone including himself.
Everyone present who was breathing believed in Xiao Jingchen's words and even left a deep impression on them!!!
