Medical Examiner Can Revive the Dead

Chapter 481 481: Beaten to the Punch?

The opened box was empty, and that could be overlooked.But the space beneath Qin Huan's hood was also empty!

Didn't that mean the hood was directly in contact with something?

Emm.....

Something's off, Qin Huan is acting very strange today.

Get moving!

Let's get out of here!

Zhang Feng, feeling both tense and alert, was preparing to sneak away carefully.

However, Qin Huan wasn't paying any attention here; it seemed she had completely forgotten about her attire.

And at the moment, she hadn't noticed Zhang Feng quietly trying to slip away.

Her attention was entirely on the open box in front of her.

At first, her eyes were filled with curiosity.

But after looking a bit longer, Qin Huan slightly frowned and softly said:

"Something's not right...."

"What's not right?" Zhang Feng had already stealthily made it to the doorway of the cell.

Suddenly, he heard Qin Huan's voice.

Zhang Feng was about to dash off.

After all, of course something's not right, you're the one who's off today!

But then, Zhang Feng realized that Qin Huan seemed to be talking about the box, not herself?

So, Zhang Feng paused, instinctively responding with a question.

Hearing Zhang Feng's question, Qin Huan snapped back to reality, turning her head to look at Zhang Feng in surprise, her first words being:

"When did you sneak over there?"

Indeed....

Just moments ago, the two of them were squatting together next to the box, now Zhang Feng was at least eight zhang away!

What's going on here?

"Uh..." Zhang Feng's expression stiffened.

But he couldn't just reveal the concerns in his heart, could he?

Wouldn't that just escalate the situation?

This won't do.

So, Zhang Feng deliberately made up a reason and said:

"It's nothing, I was just strolling around and ended up here."

"You go ahead, what isn't right?"

Zhang Feng feigned nonchalance as he walked back.

Qin Huan didn't think much of it, turning her head to point at the box in front of her and said:

"Look closely, this device for launching projectiles shouldn't match this box; it was added later."

Zhang Feng was initially taken aback and then his expression instantly froze slightly, saying stiffly:

"Well, of course.... "

"It must have been added by someone later, this kind of thing...."

"Hey!" Qin Huan reached out and patted Zhang Feng, saying:

"That's not what I mean, I mean...."

"This box had been opened by someone before, and then they added this mechanism."

Zhang Feng looked at Qin Huan with an odd expression; Qin Huan seemed off from top to bottom, inside and out, even in her head today.

Isn't that obvious?

How can you add a mechanism without opening the box?

Seeing Zhang Feng's strange look, Qin Huan realized Zhang Feng had misunderstood her.

"Sigh..."

So, Qin Huan sighed, then reorganized her thoughts and looked up at Zhang Feng's eyes, seriously saying:

"I mean, there's another possibility!"

"The ghost wasn't lying to you; the item you wanted is right here."

"But before you arrived, someone else got to it first, taking the contents and even installing a mechanism to trap those who came searching later."

"Oh?"

Once Qin Huan calmed down and sorted her thoughts, everything became clear.

This time, Qin Huan finally resembled her usual self.

It reassured Zhang Feng that Qin Huan hadn't been possessed.

His gaze returned once more to the empty box, contemplating, he said:

"Could there be a chance that the ghost later retrieved what's inside, then set up the mechanism, waiting for me?"

"That's also a possibility!"

Qin Huan nodded in agreement and continued:

"Now, we just need to figure out who owns this mechanism, and we're all set."

"But how do we investigate this without any clues?"

When Qin Huan voiced this, her brows furrowed.

But Zhang Feng's eyes lit up.

I'm experienced in this!

Qin Huan and her team would require all sorts of evidence, integrated and summarized, to find the culprit.

But for Zhang Feng, he just needed this item, didn't he?

And now, isn't the item sitting right in front of him?

So, Zhang Feng placed his hand on the projectile-launching mechanism.

He slowly closed his eyes.

"Zhang Feng you...." Qin Huan wanted to say something but saw Zhang Feng like this; she slightly pursed her lips and chose to stay silent.

Indeed, Zhang Feng began to harness his power.

Once he activates it, all problems resolve on their own!

At this moment, Zhang Feng closed his eyes, surrounded by darkness.

Only the mechanism in his right hand emitted a golden glow in this darkness.

Soon, from the golden glow, countless tiny, glittering golden dots emerged.

The golden dots quickly condensed into a beam of light.

This beam, just like when Zhang Feng sought people or objects before.

It extends in the direction leading to the target he wished to find.

When Zhang Feng saw how solid this beam was, he slightly pursed his lips and thought to himself:

"Is it that close? Inside the Special Ninth Bureau?"

Without further thought, Zhang Feng directed his focus.

The beam of light, just like before, condensed and spread slowly in one direction.

However, as time passed, Zhang Feng's brow gradually furrowed.

Then, he withdrew his right hand and opened his eyes.

But upon opening his eyes, Zhang Feng looked remarkably puzzled.

"What's wrong, Zhang Feng?"

Seeing Zhang Feng open his eyes, Qin Huan naturally had to ask right away!

"Did you find any clues?"

Judging by her demeanor, she seemed as serious and eager as if she were solving the case herself.

The work mode Qin Huan indeed reflected her usual self.

However, Zhang Feng slightly curled his lips, pointing in a direction inquired:

"What's beyond this wall....?"

"This wall?" Qin Huan turned to look in the direction Zhang Feng pointed and slightly curled her lips:

"That's the adjacent cell, laid out the same as this one, what about it?"

"What's in that cell?" Zhang Feng's question perplexed Qin Huan slightly, who then responded:

"Nothing, that cell is empty."

"But in the cell next door, Gao Xiao is confined."

"Gao Xiao?!"

Just as she said this, Qin Huan seemed to realize something, her voice slightly raised.

Then she exaggeratedly looked at Zhang Feng and said:

"Are you saying the one who set up this mechanism, who took the item first, is Gao Xiao?!"

Zhang Feng nodded, somewhat helplessly saying:

"Unless there's been an oversight, it should be him."

"But....." On Qin Huan's face were signs of tension:

"But he's been locked up all this time, how could he possibly come out, let alone do such a thing?"

"Could it have been done before we captured him?"

Zhang Feng shrugged:

"We'll have to ask him directly to find out!"
