Zhang Feng's signature command, urgent as edicts, echoed out.

His pupils were already glowing with the usual pale blue light.

But this time, the glow in his pupils was much more solid.

The talisman in his pupil was also clearer.

This was all due to earlier, as the case of Lv Dong had provided him with a replenishment of Spiritual Qi and growth in cultivation.

This allowed his Open Celestial Eye to work more freely than before, enabling him to see more things.

Moreover, the case of Lv Dong was not completely over yet; his cultivation might increase significantly by the time it concluded.

Now, the scene in front of Zhang Feng had changed.

Everything in the room seemed to turn gray.

While several clusters of different brightness clearly indicated unusual occurrences in the house.

His cultivation had indeed improved, although he only saw clusters of light.

Unlike during the case of Xu Yizhong, when the Open Celestial Eye showed Xu Yizhong himself.

That was entirely because he saw through Xu Yizhong's ashes.

If Zhang Feng of old had his current level of cultivation, he would probably have seen not just Xu Yizhong but perhaps even Lv Dong, who took the box, quite clearly.

Currently, without ashes or the victim's soul, being able to see these light clusters was already a huge improvement.

Among them, the strongest was a cluster of red light.

It appeared particularly conspicuous in the surrounding gray environment.

Zhang Feng slowly approached the front of the red light cluster.

He reached out a finger and lightly touched the light cluster.

The next second, the light cluster dispersed, condensing into a long thin red line, extending in one direction.

Zhang Feng nodded slightly to himself and murmured,

"It seems... the victim was killed here..."

Following this, Zhang Feng followed the thin red line, slowly moving into the separate washroom:

"After the victim was killed, the killer dragged the body to the washroom...."

The red light cluster regathered in front of the toilet in the washroom.

At this moment, the red light cluster gently trembled and unexpectedly split into a yellow light dot that floated out of the washroom.

Zhang Feng immediately followed.

He saw the light dot floating into the kitchen and then suddenly descending.

It landed steadily on the cleaver on the knife rack.

At this point, all the light clusters disappeared, and the surrounding scene turned gray again.

Zhang Feng nodded slightly.

Blinked, and the light in his eyes vanished.

Everything around returned to normal.

Almost immediately, Zhang Feng quickly walked to the door and opened it.

A few people outside were eagerly waiting, seeing Zhang Feng open the door.

The most anxious was Qin Huan; she directly stepped forward and asked,

"Forensic Doctor Zhang, how is the situation?"

Zhang Feng didn't answer her question but asked,

"Do you have gloves?"

"Gloves?" Qin Huan was slightly stunned, then quickly nodded,

"Yes!"

She then called over a subordinate, presumably a forensic doctor under her command, who took a pair of gloves out of a box and handed them to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng put on the gloves and beckoned them,

"Follow me."

Qin Huan reacted the fastest, taking a swift step to follow.

Her eyes were full of expectation and seriousness.

A few people followed Zhang Feng all the way into Xiao Wu's kitchen.

They saw Zhang Feng pick up the cleaver he had seen earlier from the knife rack.

Then he raised it, facing Qin Huan and Wu Di, said,

"Look at this cleaver's chipped edge...."

He paused briefly for them to take a closer look, then continued,

"This slightly inward-curved arc wasn't caused by slicing but because of..."

"Chopping!" Qin Huan uttered the word.

Clearly, she had understood Zhang Feng's meaning.

So Zhang Feng directly nodded and said,

"I suspect this cleaver is the murder weapon, and it's also the tool used to dismember the body...."

By the time Zhang Feng finished speaking here,

Wu Di, standing behind Qin Huan, said, with a slight tremor in his gaze,

"So this case is really a murder case, not just a simple disappearance?"

Listening to Wu Di's words, the look in Qin Huan's eyes became more serious.

Zhang Feng nodded without any hesitation and said,

"That's right."

"But...." Wu Di, still showing a trace of hesitation, said slowly,

"Can we conclude it's a dismemberment case just by this chipped edge? What if the knife was chipped from chopping pig or cow bones?"

Wu Di's speculation was not without reason.

No wonder he's Officer Hu's disciple.

Indeed, he has some talent for noticing details.

But Zhang Feng confidently said,

"It's simple: take this knife back and run a DNA test on any residue. It's easy."

"Besides the victim's DNA, the murderer's should be on it too."

At this moment, Qin Huan also spoke somewhat hesitantly,

"Given that the murderer killed and dismembered, processing the body with a sack leaving no trace, this cleaver must have been cleaned. Would there still be residue?"

Zhang Feng smiled confidently and said,

"Officer Qin is right, but... Officer Qin missed one point."

"The human skeleton is very hard; the cleaver was chipped like this. The murderer must have used a lot of force. With enough force, there must be some small impediments in this wooden handle."

"And because it's a wooden handle, it's harder to clean."

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, the eyes of Qin Huan and Wu Di immediately brightened.

"Makes sense, makes sense indeed!"

"No wonder you are Forensic Doctor Zhang!"

"Forensic Doctor Zhang certainly saw details we missed!"

Wu Di even gave Zhang Feng a thumbs up and said,

"No wonder you're the forensic doctor my mentor admires so much!"

Damn it, where did Wu Di learn this flattery?

Just for this, really?

Does Zhang Feng make so much sense?

Indeed, somewhat.

But his confidence wasn't due to that.

His absolute confidence, of course, came from his Open Celestial Eye.

The last clue from the Celestial Eye landed on this cleaver, proving it must have investigative value!

So, Qin Huan and the others will certainly find corresponding clues on this cleaver!

Qin Huan certainly wouldn't be like Wu Di, giving Zhang Feng such a sycophantic speech!

She had already turned around.

Her voice sounded somewhat excited, directly shouting outside,

"Someone! Someone, quick!!"

"Take this cleaver to the tech department for examination!!"

Immediately, the cleaver in Zhang Feng's hand was taken away.

Later, Qin Huan's urgent voice came,

"Thank you, Forensic Doctor Zhang. Let Wu Di stay with you to express our gratitude. I need to go back to the bureau for the investigation results."

Let Wu Di stay with Zhang Feng... couldn't you at least choose a woman? Seriously...

However, Zhang Feng didn't mind that and said to Qin Huan,

"No need. I'll go to the bureau with you to avoid any unforeseen circumstances."

"That would be great!" Qin Huan certainly accepted happily!

No one expected, though, that the unforeseen circumstance Zhang Feng casually mentioned actually happened!
