CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 52: HE’S CLEARLY A MAGE!

"What?!"

When Zhang Feng said this,

everyone around was taken aback.

Liang Yongcheng and his wife’s pupils suddenly constricted!

Zhang Feng, who had been observing their reactions, immediately noticed that Liang Yongcheng’s wife stepped forward and tightly grabbed the corner of Liang Yongcheng’s clothes.

Liang Yongcheng’s body also shook heavily.

But of course, Officer Ma and Officer Hu were confused!

Officer Ma even asked Zhang Feng:

"Forensic Doctor Zhang, have you met Liang Yongcheng’s daughter before?"

Damn, met Liang Yongcheng’s daughter before...

But that’s right.

Because, if he hadn’t met their daughter, how could she have "told" Zhang Feng herself?

However, that’s not what Zhang Feng meant.

Based on his calculations, and the behavior of Liang Yongcheng and his wife, Zhang Feng had basically confirmed it.

He turned to Officer Ma and said seriously:

"Officer Ma, do you remember why we came to this grain and oil store?"

"Of course." Officer Ma nodded and said directly:

"You said there were traces of cadaveric gases on the oil..."

As the words reached this point, Officer Ma’s voice suddenly stopped.

He then turned directly to shout at his team members:

"Seal the scene immediately, put up a cordon, call the precinct to send over support!"

"Search the grain and oil store!!"

Not only did Officer Ma understand, but Officer Hu and Lin Rui, who came along, understood as well.

Just now, Zhang Feng said Liang Yongcheng’s daughter, missing for more than a year, was in the grain and oil store behind them.

And the bulk cooking oil here was contaminated with cadaveric gases.

Doesn’t that prove that Liang Yongcheng’s daughter is dead, and her body is in this grain and oil store?!

"What are you doing?!"

Liang Yongcheng’s urgent shout resounded.

"Why are you searching my store?!"

"And who the hell are you, kid!!!"

Liang Yongcheng, extremely agitated, glared at Zhang Feng:

"Who the hell are you, eh?!"

"On what grounds do you say my daughter is in my store?! And you even mention a body?! My daughter disappeared elsewhere, how could she be dead in my store?!"

Seeing the almost hysterical Liang Yongcheng, Zhang Feng said calmly:

"Let me correct you on one thing."

"Since I first saw you, I never mentioned the word ’body’."

"I only said your daughter is in your store, how are you so certain she’s a body?"

"Whoosh!"

At the moment Zhang Feng finished speaking,

Officer Hu and Officer Ma’s cold gaze locked onto Liang Yongcheng!

That’s right, Zhang Feng hadn’t mentioned anything about a body or death!

Yet when Liang Yongcheng heard about the search of the grain and oil store, he reacted so violently.

And he brought up the word "body" himself.

This Liang Yongcheng... has a big problem!!

The bystanders being driven away in the distance immediately started pointing and whispering in this direction.

"Oh my god! Little Liang’s daughter is dead, not missing?"

"Goodness, if Little Liang’s daughter died in his store, doesn’t that mean Little Liang and his family killed their daughter?"

"Unbelievable, didn’t expect it at all, Little Liang with his honest appearance could do such a heinous thing?"

"What a beast!"

"Really, he really didn’t mention a dead person, Little Liang actually brought it up himself? Seems like it’s mostly true!"

"..."

As the saying goes, people’s words are frightening.

These were all old neighbors and regular customers.

The way they talked, made Liang Yongcheng seem to realize the problem with what he said.

A flash of confusion clearly appeared in his eyes, his cheeks turned pale.

But he still stiffly opened his mouth:

"I..... no, I..."

"It’s him!!!"

As if grabbing a lifeline, he pointed at Officer Ma and said loudly:

"You didn’t say, but he just mentioned cadaveric gases!"

"Cadaveric gases come from corpses, don’t they?!"

"Doesn’t that imply that my daughter died in my store?!"

Let’s be honest, Liang Yongcheng’s reasoning sounded a bit forced, but indeed it was reasonable.

"And also!"

Now, it seemed Liang Yongcheng was trying hard to disassociate himself, or something, changing the topic, he said:

"You also just said it was my daughter who told you personally!"

"I ask you, if my daughter is already dead in my store, how could she speak to you?!"

You have to admit, Liang Yongcheng’s attempt to divert attention was quite successful.

After a brief silence, the topic amongst the distant onlookers instantly shifted:

"Little Liang is right, if his daughter is really dead, how did she tell that young man personally?"

"Right, who is that young man anyway, he’s not in uniform, he can’t be an officer, right?"

"Could it be the police took care of Little Liang’s daughter, purposely saying she’s dead, worried Little Liang would cause trouble, so they’re framing him as a murderer?"

"That’s very possible, they could definitely do such things!"

"Who is this kid? How can he talk so freely?"

"Could he be the real murderer of Little Liang’s daughter? So he’s making false accusations?!"

"Makes sense, he must have killed her, then hid the body in Liang’s place, bringing the cops to frame him!"

Another wave of alarming words from the crowd!

But, aren’t the bystanders just fair-weather friends?

And Zhang Feng ignored these comments completely.

Because he simply didn’t care.

After all, actions speak louder than words!

He said to the furious Liang Yongcheng in front of him:

"Haven’t you always been curious about who I am?"

"I can tell you, my profession is a forensic doctor..."

Upon hearing this from Zhang Feng, even Lin Rui instinctively pursed her lips.

Others might not know, but she was aware, Zhang Feng wasn’t a forensic doctor at all, but a mage!

But such an astonishing revelation, Lin Rui definitely wouldn’t spill at this moment.

And Zhang Feng’s voice continued:

"Our duty as forensic doctors is to let the victim’s body speak, to uncover the truth of the case."

"So... is there a problem with me saying your daughter told me personally?"

No problem, of course not!

Both Officer Hu and Officer Ma nodded in agreement.

A forensic doctor should indeed let the body speak!

If a forensic doctor can’t do this, what use is there?

But they overlooked one thing.

That is, although forensic doctors can let the body speak, they need to see the body in person, conduct a thorough autopsy, and only then submit an autopsy report!

But damn it, the body, we don’t even know where it is yet!!

Officer Ma and Officer Hu, because of Zhang Feng’s extraordinary display in previous cases, genuinely respected and trusted him, not overthinking it.

And Liang Yongcheng, because it seemed like his little secret was being uncovered,

was incredibly nervous, how could his thoughts be clear now?

Hearing Zhang Feng’s words, his heart almost leapt out of his throat.

At this moment, Zhang Feng even added fuel to the fire with a provocative tactic, saying:

"Mr. Liang, why are you so opposed to us searching your store? Is it because you have a guilty conscience?"

...
