He was especially astounded by Chi Jiao, who was already an intern manager at such a young age. Calm and composed, she was slowly replaying the surveillance footage in the morgue frame by frame, looking carefully for clues. The corners of his lips twitched.
An Cheng suspected that the members of 117 did not have the fear gene, so they didn’t know what fear was.
The Esper who committed the crime this time was extremely vicious. He dared to frame the father of a 117 intern manager. That Esper must really have a death wish.
Beitang Lie kept making all sorts of comments. Chi Jiao kicked and scolded him. “Shut up. I think I heard something. Don’t disturb me.”
Beitang Lie didn’t dare to aggravate her. He immediately covered his mouth in fear of being kicked again.
Chi Jiao turned up the volume of the surveillance footage. Before Fang Xiaowei started moving, she could vaguely hear a “squeaking” sound. The noise was especially soft and difficult to detect unless one listened carefully.
“What’s going on? Is it a rat?” An Cheng asked with uncertainty.
“Rats will be much louder than this. Besides, how can there be rats in the morgue?” Huo Chen asked.
Chi Jiao seemed to be in deep thought. She tapped her fingers on the table as she listened to the squeaking sound repeatedly.
However, no matter how carefully Chi Jiao listened to it, she still couldn’t recognize the sound. Helpless, she could only give up and continue watching the other surveillance footage.
The surveillance footage showed how stiffly Fang Xiaowei crawled out of the freezer and fell to the ground. She then struggled to continue to crawl outside. It was only when she reached the door of the morgue that she stood up with the help of the wall. She then opened the door and walked out.
In the next second, the footage switched to that of the corridor. Fang Xiaowei perfectly avoided everyone and arrived at the back door. She left as if nothing had happened. From the beginning to the end, Fang Xiaowei’s expression was calm. Although she encountered a few people on the way, no one realized that a dead person had just walked past them.
The footage captured by the surveillance cameras came to an end. Chi Jiao looked at Fang Xiaowei’s stiff back and fell into deep thought. “We can confirm now that this has something to do with Espers. The Esper controlled Fang Xiaowei’s corpse after killing her.”
“Boss, control-type superpowers are very rare. Most Espers don’t have such abilities,” said Beitang Lie.
Control-type superpowers belonged to the same type as Chi Jiao’s. This kind of superpower tested one’s mental strength. It was much rarer and harder to control than ordinary superpowers. But at the same time, it was also stronger.
“Go and check the records first. Investigate all possible suspects and carry out an investigation,” Chi Jiao said decisively.
“There’s something I can’t figure out.” An Cheng raised his hand. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he hurriedly continued, “Think about it, how is this Esper controlling a dead body?”
“That’s right. Won’t the Esper require contact with the controlled party? We can confirm that no one else has touched the corpse except for our people and you,” Huo Chen said.
“These are all questions. We can only carefully investigate and gradually find out the truth. Officer Huo, please send me a copy of the footage and the case file. Beitang Lie and I will go to 117 to get information on the Espers.. We will take over this case from now on,” Chi Jiao said calmly.
