Chapter 1375: Chapter 1284: Violent Queen 7

Liu Shuangshuang carefully examined the small fragment in her hand. This little fragment was white, with a bit of black at the edges, where it curved downward with a smooth arc.

Tang Feng and Liu Shuangshuang stared at the item together, pondering over what it might have come from. This fragment was obtained from the victim’s fingernail, suggesting it must be something significant.

"The material is just ordinary plastic, seen everywhere. What exactly is this thing? Since the victim grabbed it desperately before dying, it surely has a direct connection to the murderer."

Tang Feng examined the small piece, his brow furrowed tightly, while Liu Shuangshuang watched the fragment with a familiar feeling, yet couldn’t quite recall what it might be.

After staring at it for a long time without any conclusion, Tang Feng let out a sigh and said to Liu Shuangshuang, "The DNA test results are out.

Fortunately, these victims had DNA profiles stored that can be used to identify them.

The forensic autopsy report is also available. The wounds on the bodies are from human and canine bites.

The varied sizes of the bite marks are due to different sizes of dogs, and human and canine saliva was extracted from the bite marks on the wounds.

Intelligent lifeforms have no physical characteristics, which indicates the murderer isn’t an intelligent creature. The human bite marks on the wounds belong to the same person, confirming human involvement in the case.

However, there should only be one human; this human is very skilled in training dogs or owns a pack of dogs."

"There’s a human, and dogs are involved. The murderer in this case is likely a human, or perhaps it was a collaboration between humans and intelligent beings.

Regardless of whether intelligent lifeforms were involved, the absence of marks left by them on the corpse means there were no such creatures present.

This intelligent being might be controlled by a human as an accomplice or may have manipulated humans to be the real culprit, but whether it’s the main or secondary perpetrator, its strength is certainly weak."

Liu Shuangshuang flipped through the documents in her hand, her brows furrowing deeper as she went along. She pulled out two victim files and placed them in front of Tang Feng.

"Brother Tang, we’re probably dealing with a brutal human, not a brutal intelligent creature. Look at these two victim profiles, one of them was an ancient martial cultivator.

This is the person with the foreign object extracted from under their nails, who could gouge out a large piece of plastic with their fingernail. Although plastic isn’t very hard, an ordinary person couldn’t do this - their finger skill must be remarkable.

The other was an extreme sports enthusiast, often visiting extremely dangerous places. Both were not weak ordinary people. The fact that someone managed to kill these two indicates the perpetrator’s combat ability must be exceedingly strong."

After glancing at the files, Tang Feng said, "Looks like even if this case was done by humans, the criminal police shouldn’t handle it - it’s too dangerous, we need to take care of it."

As the two were talking, a member walked over carrying a stack of files, addressed Tang Feng and Liu Shuangshuang: "Captains, the detailed profiles of these individuals have been thoroughly investigated.

The homes of these deceased weren’t far from the city, and those not originally from here were locally employed. Among the deceased, three were females, and the rest were males. Although their gender varied, they all shared a common trait: they liked to gamble."

Gambling! Liu Shuangshuang had a sudden flash of inspiration, finally recalling why the fragment seemed familiar. She turned to Tang Feng and exclaimed, "Brother Tang, doesn’t this fragment look like a piece of a dice?"

"Dice?" Tang Feng picked up the piece and scrutinized it closely. Indeed, the fragment resembled the corner of a dice, and the small black dot seemed like the ones on dice.

Tang Feng instantly opened the computer and compared the picture of a dice with the fragment in his hand. "It really is a piece of a dice, but why would the victim have a piece of dice in their possession?"

Liu Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow. "Could it be, this dice itself is an intelligent lifeform? These murdered individuals, all avid gamblers, frequently interacted with dice, thus easily getting enticed by it. Gamblers generally have weak willpower.

Just a single dice surely can’t murder someone. It’s likely it was misleading humans or being controlled by them to help lure victims, allowing the murderer to strike."

Tang Feng started tapping the keyboard, "Let’s investigate. Dice-shaped intelligent lifeforms must be rare, check the archives to see if there are any records of such beings registered, and let’s rule them out one by one."

Upon checking, Tang Feng found there were three dice-shaped intelligent lifeforms, one of which had accompanied its owner overseas for half a month and was ruled out, leaving just two suspects.

These two dice-shaped intelligent lifeforms are in a suburban area of a neighboring city and in a villa district near the city.

The dice owners of these two intelligent beings are both male and share a common interest: gambling.

Tang Feng and Liu Shuangshuang decided to first visit the nearby villa district. Upon arrival, they heard the sounds of card games.

Upon entering, Tang Feng and Liu Shuangshuang found four individuals playing cards. On the table, a bright white dice bounced up and down, clearly indicating it was an intelligent lifeform.

They presented their identification, and Liu Shuangshuang and Tang Feng approached to inspect the dice-shaped intelligent lifeform, noting it was intact with no missing parts or visible repair signs, suggesting it wasn’t the perpetrator’s dice.

Nonetheless, out of caution, Tang Feng questioned the dice’s owner—a plump middle-aged man. "Do you only have this one dice, or is there a second one?"

The Special Handling Office No.1 has always been synonymous with mystery, so anything connected with it signifies a serious issue, making the dice’s owner glance nervously at Tang Feng and Liu Shuangshuang.

Upon hearing Tang Feng’s question, the middle-aged man replied anxiously, "Dice-shaped intelligent lifeforms are rare, how could one be so lucky to have two, just this one."

Tang Feng nodded and did a circuit around the room with Liu Shuangshuang. Finding nothing suspicious, they left and conducted a survey nearby. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The neighbors were familiar with the middle-aged man, knowing he doesn’t own dogs and even has a fear of them due to being bitten during childhood, leading him to dislike them.

His biggest daily hobby is gathering people at home to gamble, assigning his dice-shaped intelligent lifeform to deal cards and handle activities. Given his tight schedule, he likely isn’t the murderer.

Since this middle-aged man couldn’t be the murderer, the suspect in the suburban area of the neighboring city raises the probability of being the perpetrator.

To be cautious, Tang Feng summoned around ten team members, and with Liu Shuangshuang, they drove to the suburbs of the neighboring city. From afar, they heard chaotic dog barking, exchanging glances with serious expressions.
