Chapter Ninety-Seven: Investigation (Part II)
On closer inspection, the plant grew out of the inside of the corpse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What did you find?" Spiritbutterfly asked Soldao.
Thor frowned, picked up a short leg broken from a chair on the ground, and flicked the corpse's head.
This is, everyone guess the true face of the corpse - an ugly face, with that iconic bald head, who is not the Caleban they are looking for?
Yun Qi took a deep look at the spirit butterfly and said, "It seems that a woman's sixth sense is quite effective. ”
Lingdie sneered: "I have been helped by Caleban and have been a bodyguard for a long time, although Caleban is a widow and a little virtuous, but after all, we don't get along too much. And Caleban's ability positioning ability happens to have a certain tacit understanding with my psychic power, and in the dark, I can sense anything unexpected from him. ”
Yun Qi nodded, and it was precisely because of Caleban's sudden death that Lingdie sensed that something was wrong, and under the confirmation, it really came true.
"It looks like your friend has offended a very strong person." The more Thor looked at the corpse, the more frightened he became.
"What is the cause of death?" Spiritbutterfly asked.
"Prima facie, there are no bruises left by the impact of heavy objects on Kaleban's bare head, and there are no external injuries on his body, strange, how did Caleban die? Could it be a good thing for mutants to do? ”
A phenomenon that cannot be explained by common sense, people are used to pushing the results on mutants.
"Impossible, if it was done by a mutant, with Caleban's positioning ability, he would turn around and run away before the danger was near. I've been with Caleban for so many years, and I've seen him escape mutants no less than a hundred times. "The spirit butterfly is like a few treasures.
"No less than a hundred trips, and it seems that I feel more and more that mutants did it." Thor stubbornly persisted.
"It's all said that it's impossible, no matter how Caleban dies, it is impossible to die at the hands of mutants. His perception of danger is no worse than that of ability positioning. Unless it is an ordinary person with no special abilities, he can easily approach Caleban. ”
Regarding Lingdie's words, Yun Qi had reservations: "Maybe this time, Thor's words are closer to the answer." ”
As he spoke, Yun Qi pointed to the hideous wound on Kaleban's chest and said to Sol: "You just said that Kaleban has no external injuries, and it is not all right, at least except for this scar. ”
Looking at the chest stretched open by the plant, Thor wondered, "You mean, this is the real cause of Caleban's death?" That...... It's incredible! ”
At present, it seems that there is only one possibility left.
"Spirit Butterfly, among the people offended by Caleban, are there any mutants who can manipulate the growth of plants?" Thor immediately narrowed down the criminals to those who had offended Caleban.
Spirit Disc shook his head: "Because Caleban can save the day every time, in fact, I have been with him for a long time, and I don't know exactly what he offended those people, but when he was drinking in a bar, I occasionally heard about it, but there are no mutants who can manipulate plants." ”
"That's weird." Thor was out of clues.
Yun Qi stood aside, quietly thinking about something.
Plants, seeds, these two names were all too familiar to him.
Because he was worried that Caleban would be used by those guys, he would follow the spirit butterfly through the spatial crack.
That's right, it's a good thing done by the people of the Blood Alliance.
Thinking of the scene he had seen in the basement of the hospital before, coupled with the seed planted in Professor X's heart, Yun Qi was sure that all of this was done by the guy from the Blood Alliance, who had never shown up.
But there is one thing that Yun Qi can't understand.
The reason why he came to take a look before was that he didn't expect the people of the Blood Alliance to kill Caleban.
According to common sense, the people of the Blood Alliance should have kidnapped Caleban and then tried their best to force Professor X to find out where Professor X was hiding.
But now, they directly killed Caleban like a beast by killing the hospital police, which is too hasty.
"Is it because Caleban has an eccentric personality and would rather die than give in?" After all, Yun Qi has limited time to contact with Caleban, and there are so many weirdos in this world, maybe this is really possible.
However, after asking the spirit butterfly who was familiar with Caleban and Thor, Yun Qi immediately denied this possibility.
"Would you rather die than give in? What are you kidding to say that Caleban is a cunning, fickle guy who would rather die than give in? That's just a joke. Thor suddenly realized that his words were a little disrespectful to the deceased, and immediately apologized to the spirit butterfly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to discredit Caleban ......"
"There is no need to explain, although Caleban has been kind to me, but over the years, I have also been a bodyguard for a long time, and the kindness is almost repaid, so although your evaluation just now is bitter and mean, it is basically in line with Caleban's personality."
With the evaluation of Spirit Butterfly and Thor, the possibility of "Caliban refusing to give in and being brutally killed by the people of the Blood Alliance" was immediately overturned.
As a result, Yun Qi became more and more clueless.
"It's not torture, so why kill Caleban?"
For a while, Yun Qi fell into a blind spot in his thinking.
"Thor, can you tell how long Caleban has been dead?" Or Lingdie, I asked first.
"Time of death? The approximate time of death of a dead person can be determined by checking the liver temperature. But ......"
"But what?" Spiritbutterfly asked.
"However, if the cause of Caleban's death was really caused by plant growth, then it may be difficult to check the liver temperature."
Perhaps afraid that the spirit butterfly would not understand, Thor used the wooden strip of the chair leg to open Calyban's cracked ribcage.
"You see, the corpse is stretched open, a large amount of air enters the chest cavity, the temperature has become normal, and it is no longer possible to judge the time of death by the temperature of the liver."
Thor's words make sense.
"Isn't that clueless?"
Even the time of death could not be judged, and the investigation was like a fly without a head, without any direction.
"Not necessarily." Yun Qi said.
"Do you have a way?" Lingdie asked hurriedly.
Before, she kept saying that her friendship with Caleban had been broken, but in fact, she was just hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.
Otherwise, it would not be possible for Spirit Butterfly to come over to find out as soon as she sensed that something was wrong with Caleban.
"Don't forget, when did you sense that something was wrong with Caleban?"
Yun Qi's words made the spirit butterfly who fell into sorrow wake up like a dream.
Yes, since the sense of ominousness has been fulfilled, the time of death can be roughly deduced.
"Well, Caleban must have been killed in ......," Lingdie was saying when suddenly there was a noise of footsteps outside the closed gate.
"Oh no, someone came in." Thor whispered.
At this moment, there was a loud bang at the gate, and the three-inch-thick steel plate gate was blown open by explosives.
In the already small underground room, smoke suddenly filled. (To be continued.) )
