"Where should we start?"

"I think we should start from the technical side. Someone with such skills shouldn't be unknown. Even though Hedan is vast, there must be traces to follow. Perhaps we should extend the timeline to five years ago, or even further back," said Li Xin. "By the way, are doctors in Hedan specifically categorized?"

Christie nodded, then paused in surprise, "Specifically categorized?"

"Yes, those involved in dissections, besides doctors, are there similar professions within the Church?" Li Xin had just thought of it. Dao Yuan Continent was different; it wasn't only doctors who performed dissections.

Upon hearing this, Christie's pupils contracted, instinctively becoming sharp. Her voice slowed down, "The profession of a doctor originally belonged to the internal profession of the Church Court, only later spreading among the public and appearing in the vocational subdivision of the Canon Law School. If we talk about experts, they definitely still reside within the Church. No one knows the human anatomy better than the doctors in the Church."

Dealing with the Fallen and heretics, dissection is a common technical method. The insights of the departments responsible for judgment and research within the Church Court aren't something ordinary doctors can compare to. With the spread of Hex-Tech and the strong promotion of the Celestial Principle School, the profession of a doctor developed among the common people.

Suddenly, Christie shook her head again, "It shouldn't be. The Funeral Attendant would also think of it. They would certainly conduct an internal investigation. If in the past, the pressure wasn't enough, under the current circumstances, the King has issued a strict order. The Church Court must also take drastic measures for a thorough investigation."

Li Xin chuckled, "Maybe so, but I'm not familiar with that."

The Church Court and royal power are two different systems. Externally, the Funeral Attendant should be serious, but having the Funeral Attendant investigate the Church Court is just laughable.

Within the Church Court, those responsible for this kind of research or execution aren't generally within the grasp of the Funeral Attendant.

Christie also realized, "I'll provide this idea to the Funeral Attendant. What you said is indeed a possibility. With such techniques and obsession, it's more likely to appear within the Church Court. We can even look for targets among those who have left the Church or traitors in recent years."

"That's a thought, but what I'm curious about is the motive. I looked at the targets and outcomes of cases close to the primary culprits from five years ago and recently. They all involve the Awakened, and sometimes it's the heart, sometimes the liver, sometimes the intestines, and some other strange body parts, either singular or multiple, with recurring patterns."

Christie frowned slightly, "What are you trying to say?"

"Could it be a picky eater Abyssal Fallen?"

Christie appeared slightly uncomfortable, "It shouldn't be. The Fallen are not picky eaters. You can see the consequences for those attacked by the Fallen. Once they come into contact with Spiritual Ability and flesh, they go insane with devouring; there's no picking and choosing. Don't underestimate the power of the Earth Mother Goddess Court. There are definitely those hiding in the dark in Hedan, but they have to tuck their tails between their legs."

Li Xin nodded, "Pure academic discussion, the real culprit is hateful, but we also can't let those who take advantage go."

Christie nodded as well. In fact, those who commit crimes in the chaos use even more brutal methods. Those girls aren't Awakened. Christie's murderous aura was strong; at this moment, Christie didn't look like a secretary but really had a bit of the Funeral Attendant's vibe.

"Whether it's the primary culprit or the ones that emerged later, we have to catch them. We can't overlook the medical school of the Canon Law School either," Christie said.

"All are clues, but the King hasn't given much time," Li Xin said.

"Five days is just the time given to the Funeral Attendant. If the Funeral Attendant can't solve it, they will naturally change people. The culprit must be found!" Christie stated.

Li Xin thought about it too, but this primary culprit was indeed quite bold.

"I heard you gave up on food reporting?" Christie said, looking at these dossiers, everyone felt oppressed.

"I'd rather write stories. The requirements for food are a bit too much." Li Xin just wanted to earn a little money.

"That's fine too, focus on one field and see the effect later," Christie quickly distanced her emotions from the case, her charming demeanor returning as she stretched her waist, "Ah, my waist is sore from all the meetings."

Li Xin looked at this slightly exaggerated proportion, combined with the unintentional brush-off from a couple of days ago, "Sis, do you need me to massage you? I'm good with my hands."

"You little fellow, trying to take advantage of your sister," Christie laughed. "Simmons thinks highly of you. Have you considered developing yourself well in the Saint Grace Canon Law School? The George Family seems like it only has one old Count left, but a dead camel is still larger than a horse, and they're still influential in Hedan."

"I haven't thought that far ahead. A few months ago, I was still in the Celestial Capital, and now I'm in Hedan. Who knows where the future will take me? But I'm a golden bachelor, anywhere I go is home."

"That's great, you're young but have a laid-back personality, what a pity."

"Pity what?"

Christie laughed but didn't answer. That lazy aura suddenly vanished, "Alright, go do your thing."

A woman's heart is like an autumn sky. Just now, things were moving towards an ambiguous direction, and suddenly, it cooled down. Li Xin closed the door, and the entire editing room looked busy, but actually, everyone was paying attention to any slight movement, even sizing up Li Xin, as if trying to find evidence of wet clothes on him.

Unfortunately, Li Xin wasn't afraid of shadows being crooked, greeted Old Wu, and then slipped away.

Back at the inn, he changed into the Saint Grace Canon Law School uniform, moved quickly to catch the lunch at the Canon Law School, and just as he went downstairs, he bumped into Dragon Mother, "Dragon Mother, you wouldn't be waiting for me, would you?"

"Oh dear, Master Xin, what are you saying? You look really handsome in this outfit," Dragon Mother gazed at Li Xin intently.

Li Xin shivered, skirting around her, "Dragon Mother, hasn't David come back yet?"

"That scoundrel, whenever he goes out to sell himself, takes quite a while, selling to anyone, isn't it still selling? I don't know what you people are thinking, clearly, there's a shortcut, but you choose to take a longer path," Dragon Mother hinted desperately, thinking, Da Li Dragon is not small, quite a few of the good ones have real skills, but why don't they dare to face me properly? I'm not someone with high demands, nor do I look down on men who live off women."

"Dragon Mother, David is selling art, not selling himself."

"Hmph, let's see how he'll manage when his youth is gone!" Dragon Mother stormed off indignantly, "Ma Liu, Ma Liu, you fool..."

In the whole of Da Li Dragon, only Ma Liu delighted in Dragon Mother's scolding and beating, feeling that being scolded is love. Looking at the scrawny Ma Liu, just a third of Dragon Mother's size, Li Xin couldn't help but picture the scene. Damn, he quickly shook his head; this was too restrictive.

Waiting at the door for an open vehicle, looking at the Dragon Mother restaurant sign, really wondering how Dalivin painted it so heartlessly. Who knows how many regulars were tricked into entering by that painting? Upon falling victim, customers couldn't help but tease, but Dragon Mother didn't care, just thinking they were jealous.

Eventually, it even had a kind of reverse publicity effect. It became a topic. When people spread the word about the dining experience, they couldn't help but mention the contrasting boss lady. Where there's talk, there's attention, a lucky coincidence.
