Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 73: Being Blackmailed

"Have you found out the cause of their death?" Meng Zhiling transformed herself into a professional detective. After checking one by one, she took off her gloves and handed them to the "assistant" beside her.

"No, we've checked everything they ate and everything they had access to last night, and there's nothing suspicious at all. Even the pool water was up to standard. There were other guests at the time, but only these five people showed signs of this. There's nothing on them that would conflict with the chemicals in the pool water, so all suspicions have been ruled out. But that's precisely why we're so worried. We don't even know the cause of death, so where do we even start?"

Yuan Yongkai frowned, it seemed that he had really encountered a big case this time.

"Well, let's arrange for someone to dissect the deceased's head immediately. I think we should get some results." When Meng Zhiling was checking the corpse just now, she accidentally saw a termite on the ground, and she had a bold guess in her mind.

Yuan Yongkai is now willing to listen to anything. For this difficult matter, he simply wants to try his best. What's more, it is the opinion of the goddess in his mind, so he naturally arranges people to do it immediately.

After two hours, the autopsy personnel finally walked out of the makeshift "operating room" vomiting and with pale faces. When they came out, the wonderful feeling of seeing the light of day again made everyone cherish their lives even more.

"How is it?" Meng Zhiling pulled Yuan Yongkai, anxiously wanting to confirm her guess.

Because Yuan Yongkai didn't want Meng Zhiling to witness something as unpleasant as an autopsy, he went in to observe himself and asked Meng Zhiling to wait outside. In fact, he didn't know that she had probably seen more dead people than many people had seen living people in their entire lives. She also forgot what major she was studying now. But Meng Zhiling knew that he meant well, so she didn't insist.

Anyway, she was just waiting for the confirmed answer, so she was not in a hurry.

"Have you guessed something a long time ago?" Yuan Yongkai's face was not very good. Although he was not as pale as the young forensic doctors, his expression was more serious than before.

"Were there large numbers of termites found in their brains?" Looking at Yuan Yongkai's expression, Meng Zhiling knew that her guess might not be wrong at all.

"Yes, but it is obvious that these termites entered their bodies a long time ago. It is obvious that it happened in the past few days. How did they do that?" Now they finally knew the cause of death. Single termites have no aggressiveness at all, but when they grow in groups, their power can be imagined. The saying "a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole" refers to termites, not to mention a person's head. If they want to break it, it will only take a few minutes.

In addition, when several people were swimming, the water temperature of the swimming pool was higher than body temperature at night. The termites that had just taken up residence in their bodies must have struggled and fled like a group of frightened bees. As a result, several people bled from all seven orifices, had convulsions all over their bodies, and finally died of bleeding and pain.

However, finding the murderer and the time when the murderer committed the crime was a hundred times more difficult than this matter. No wonder Yuan Yongkai's face became even more serious and ugly.

"I don't know how they did it, but let's think about it. Who had the strongest motive for the simultaneous deaths? And who benefited the most? And who had the ability to allow termites to enter the deceased's brains without their knowledge, thus causing their deaths?"

In fact, Meng Zhiling is not good at deducing and analyzing cases. She is better at killing people. She appreciates this "great" murder case from the perspective of a killer. Such means, it must be said, are indeed brilliant and simply perfect. It does not cost any soldiers or any activity funds. It is so simple to destroy the lives of five people at one time.

Even she had to admire the killer's skill. It was precisely because of this that she had no way to investigate, because now she didn't even know whether the other party was a third type of person. If he was an ordinary person, he certainly didn't have such great ability.

"I've actually looked into this. The five deceased were all businessmen. They had all, to varying degrees, offended different types of people. We've investigated these individuals, but none of their enemies were enough to spurious motives for murder. However, these five individuals share one thing in common: ten years ago, they collaborated. Back then, they weren't as successful as they are now. The government donated a Hope Project to build a bridge across the Pu River in western Taiwan to make it easier for local children to get to school and home. However, the bridge collapsed two years ago for some reason. Fortunately, there were no casualties, so we didn't investigate further."

Yuan Yongkai still had a frown on his face, looking helpless!

"Let's start with the cause of the bridge collapse. It may have caused some casualties at the time, but we are unaware of it. Perhaps it is because this incident is inexplicably involved with these five people. This is just my personal bold guess." The woman's unique sixth sense told her that the bridge collapse must be related to today's murder. As for what kind of relationship it is, perhaps it will soon come to light!

After Meng Zhiling's gentle reminder, Yuan Yongkai's frown finally relaxed. With this clue, he believed that the real murderer would be found soon.

"Thank you for your hard work today. Do you have time to have dinner together?" Yuan Yongkai and Meng Zhiling said as they walked out, just as they encountered the cold rain coming towards them.

"Haha, you guys are chatting and laughing here under the guise of work, do you think it's okay?" Leng Yu stared straight at Meng Zhiling. If she could kill with her eyes, Meng Zhiling knew that she would have died a thousand times.

"Leng Yu..." Yuan Yongkai looked at Meng Zhiling worriedly. He knew that he would always owe the deceased girl an explanation, but he didn't want Meng Zhiling to be hurt because of something that had nothing to do with her, so he called Leng Yu with a bit of blame.

"Miss Leng, I don't know why you are so hostile to me. I want to say that I, Meng Zhiling, may not be a gentleman, but I will definitely not tolerate others looking down on me for no reason. If you don't like me today, it's okay. You can leave. I think our team should be able to operate normally even without an emotional loser like you!"

Meng Zhiling really couldn't stand Leng Yu's sarcastic look, nor could she stand the unclear injustice. In the past, she didn't want to bother with her because of Yuan Yongkai's face, but she actually treated her savior like this. Meng Zhiling really couldn't bear it anymore!

"You...what gives you the right to say that?" Leng Yu was so angry at Meng Zhiling's words that she gritted her teeth. If she could beat Meng Zhiling, she would have attacked her long ago. Now, she could only run away in embarrassment.

"Oh..." Yuan Yongkai sighed helplessly and looked at Meng Zhiling.

"Why are you looking at me? Did I say something wrong? I just don't understand why you recruited a young lady like this into the team, just to improve her looks? You're not bad at all!" Meng Zhiling rolled her eyes. She didn't think what she said just now was wrong at all, and continued to add fuel to the fire!

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. I'm going to go see that girl." Yuan Yongkai was helpless again. He was a very competent team leader...

Meng Zhiling pouted. She didn't expect that coming out to help would end up causing trouble for herself. She was really unhappy.

When I arrived at the underground garage, I saw a young man standing next to my car from a distance. His lean figure and handsome face were simply stunning.

"What's wrong? My dear disciple, are you drooling at the sight of your master? But judging from your skinny figure, I might be interested if you keep me for another two years!" Qin Yu had not appeared for a long time, and Meng Zhiling almost forgot his existence.

"Get out, you old rogue!" Meng Zhiling roared without any courtesy. Although she sounded kind, the old rogue's nature came back to her. She was almost deceived by his handsome appearance just now, and he even made her want to pounce on him and take advantage of him. She was really blind!

"Master, I have returned from traveling around the world. What should I do if I have no place to stay?" Qin Yu revealed the purpose of his visit in one sentence. He was so shameless.

"Since you have money to travel around the world, don't you have money to buy a house?" Meng Zhiling said with contempt. She knew that this old rogue came to find her, and he must have come to make trouble for her. Damn it, it was all his fault for not checking the almanac before going out today!

"Yes, I've spent all my savings traveling around the world, so I'm coming back to live with you? I think it's very comfortable to live with you. After all, I used to be a member there, and now I'm just going home." Qin Yu shamelessly attacked again. He didn't know what method he used, but he opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"You old rogue, come out here! Believe it or not, I can put you back inside your beloved jade in a minute?" Meng Zhiling was so anxious that she jumped up and down. If she really took him back, her house would probably be demolished by the two men. She couldn't even imagine that scene!

"Do you think you have the ability to seal me? Be good and come in quickly. I, the master, can't drive." Qin Yu threw a charming smile and "seduced" Meng Zhiling.

Meng Zhiling was helpless. It seemed that she was being blackmailed today and could only accept her fate.

When backing into the parking space, Meng Zhiling felt that the end of the world was approaching. If the black car next to her wasn't Qiao Surong's, whose car was it?

She looked at Qin Yu resentfully, "Are you sure you want to go upstairs? Even if I live with my boyfriend, wouldn't you find it inconvenient?"

Having said that, it depends on how self-aware he is.

As expected, Meng Zhiling was not disappointed at all. He calmly opened the car door and got out. Looking at Meng Zhiling who was still standing there unwilling to get out, he said, "I don't think it's inconvenient at all. Besides, a teacher is a father for life. As an elder, I have to help you check and see what kind of character you have."

Qin Yu once again relied on his seniority and spoke in a down-to-earth manner. Only when Meng Zhiling looked at his handsome face did she not feel that it was incongruous.
