Chapter 745 Not More Than Twenty Four —-2

Why else would someone target a young woman and snatch everything from their body? It was obvious that someone was manipulating this from behind but why? And for what? She did not think that this was done by Chen Chu Chu because that woman was truly very precautious, it would be impossible for her to make such a novice-like mistake.

Before seeing this body she thought that it was just Chen Chu Chu who was playing around with the women of this world for the sake of beauty and what not but now that she saw that the corpse was empty from the inside as well,  she seemed to have realised that it was much worse than such a small thing like exchanging beauty with the young women.

And that Chen Chu Chu was not the only one behind this matter, there was someone else with her. She just did not know the motive of this person along with the motives of Chen Chu Chu!

She looked down at the corpse and a grim look flashed through Song Yan's eyes, there were times when humans were more dangerous than beasts and demons, especially ones that were blinded by their greed.

Right now, it looked like she had to try her best and get closer to the motive of the persons who were involved in this entire thing.

Old Master Yan was not stupid either, he had seemed to have realised that something sinister was taking place inside the military district which was why instead of closing this matter as a case related to parasitic demons, he called the experts and then brought the corpse of the old woman to the examination building where the examiners started to do a microscopic examination of the bones that were covered by the sagging skin of the corpse and it took them more than four hours to finally come to believe the result that they were seeing.

They all stared at the bones that were in front of them and exchanged a look of disbelief before the head examiner rubbed his forehead and walked out of the examination room where Old Master Yan along with Yan Bao was waiting, Commander Chen who heard that a similar case like that of his wife had taken place immediately rushed over to the examination building where he was standing next to Old Master Yan.

Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng sat on the waiting chair while the head examiner looked at Old Master Yan and then said with a heavy voice, "It is true, from the examination I can see that the woman even though she looks like an old woman is actually a young woman. Her hair might have turned white under the presence of the liquid in which it was covered and the skin that is loose and sagging is actually molten and deformed but because of abrupt drying, it seems to have turned similar to that of an old woman…. At least from the microscopic examinations, this body is not older than twenty-four."

When Old Master Yan and Commander Chen heard that the body really belonged to a young woman they were stunned. Does this mean that the person who was behind this deliberately made the corpse look like this and then left it behind to confuse them?

Commander Chen who lost his wife to an unfortunate accident similar to this one couldn't help but ask in a sombre voice, " This body why was it half molten than completely like my…" he trailed off but the head examiner understood his word and gave him a sympathetic look before he took the report from his assistant and started speaking,

" This liquid that we found on the body of this woman is actually a lot less potent than the one we found on your wife's corpse, Commander. As for why this body was dried up instead of being thrown aside, this is something that I cannot explain for the moment."

Commander Chen gritted his teeth, on the other hand, Song Yan's eyes flashed as she looked at the corpse that was lying inside the examination room. At first, she was only slightly doubtful but now she was certain that the person behind this killing was different—— was it Chen Xi?

Her eyes flickered as she remembered the younger Chen sister, she had been focusing on Chen Chu Chu so much that she seemed to have forgotten that Chen Xi was adopted along with Chen Chu Chu as well.

She turned to look at Fu Yu Sheng who was looking solemn as well and her brother on the other hand was looking at the happenings in front of him with his arms crossed, just now he stayed silent because he was too swept up by such turn of events but now he couldn't help but shiver as he thought about what was going on in this place.

Commander Chen exchanged a few more words with the head examiner before he took his leave while Yan Bao had to leave as well since he had some business to attend to, Old master Yan who was returning with them looked more serious than ever as he stayed silent for a long time.

Which caused the three of them to stay quiet as well, it was only when they were nearing the Yan residence that Old Master Yan opened his mouth and asked a question that was weighing on his head since the examination, " Yan Yan, why is it that only women are being attacked, those guards even though they were attacked…they were only missing their internal organs and their corpses were fine."

Song Yan pursed her lips as she thought over many things as she tried to fragment her answer in a way that will not startle Old Master Yan, only then did she open her mouth and replied, " This might be because a woman's body holds more yin energy and maybe the attacker is a woman as well since the women who were attacked were missing something like their eyes and skin…maybe it's for the sake of maintaining their good looks."

Old Master Yan was scared out of his wits after hearing Song Yan's answer but then he heard her say, " And since the victims are all women, it will be better if sister-in-law Mei, stays inside the house all the time… or else I am afraid …. All I can say is that a woman with a child is even more tempting to such beings, grandpa Yan."
