Chapter 25: Ten Million People Watch Me Cut People Open

(Begging for support, fifth update)

Two dissections in one day—isn't that workload a bit much? Besides, it's already very late now; it's nighttime.

Everyone got in the car and headed back.

In the car, Old Liu gave these people their scores. Unusually, he didn't give Xiang Qinqin too many points—out of a perfect five, Xiang Qinqin herself got three.

"Why didn't you prioritize checking the area around the victim?"

Xiang Qinqin said softly, "I saw everyone else checking, so I felt there was no need for me to check."

Old Liu was speechless. He said, "Alright, I more or less get it now. Nothing else to say—three points for you isn't unfair."

Chen Fan got angry and said, "What's that supposed to mean, Old Liu? If you keep this up, I'm going to be mad. Xiang Qinqin is under my protection."

Saying that, he pulled Xiang Qinqin straight into his arms.

Xiang Qinqin's face instantly turned red, like an apple.

Old Liu said, "She made a mistake, so a low score is perfectly normal."

"She was just thinking about the case. In her mind, everyone was cooperating."

Old Liu said, "But it's also a competitive relationship. Kindness is a virtue everyone should have, but in the workplace, kindness has no meaning—you'll just get bullied. You know that better than I do."

Chen Fan had nothing to say. Old Liu was right.

The others didn't speak.

Qu Yiling thought for a long time, feeling that she seemed to have done something wrong.

In the observation room, Old Zhou said, "You guys didn't understand it?"

Boss Yang said, "I think I get it now. The others just treated this crime scene investigation as an exam, but Xiang Qinqin genuinely hoped she could help someone."

Old Zhou said, "Right, but Xiang Qinqin's approach wasn't quite right. This kind of pointless searching really does waste a lot of energy. Generally, a kitchen doesn't need that much wiping—you only need to look near the sink or the stove area to find fingerprints. What Old Liu deducted points for was that she overlooked common sense."

Huh????

Gao Ye said, "I thought the deduction was because Xiang Qinqin wasted time."

"It's not about wasting time. A crime scene investigation needs people like Xiang Qinqin, but how to save time during a forensic investigation is something every forensic examiner needs to work on."

"Actually, everyone else went to the bathroom and the bedroom—that saves more time."

Teacher He said, "Doing things seriously is never wrong."

Old Zhou said, "Nobody said it was wrong. Keep watching—Old Liu has his own inner scale when it comes to things."

After they got back, Old Liu took Chen Fan to change clothes and said, "Are you guys going to observe or assist?"

Someone nodded.

Xiang Qinqin said, "Um, I'd like to go compare fingerprints."

Old Liu didn't say anything and looked at the others.

Qu Yiling said, "I'll go compare fingerprints too. I'll help Xiang Qinqin."

Cheng Ruofei said, "I'll assist you guys."

The other two guys also said they'd assist.

Then Old Liu and Chen Fan changed into their clothes.

A man and a woman lay flat.

At this moment, the number of viewers in the livestream was skyrocketing.

The operations staff looked at the backend data and said, "Director, we've broken the record—ten million people online at the same time. The platform says the pressure is too much; the servers are about to crash."

The director said, "That engaging?"

"Cutting open a person every minute—even I'd want to watch."

That was a fair point.

Chen Fan looked at the murdered woman in front of him, took out a ruler, and started measuring.

"Show some respect for the body."

Old Liu reminded him.

"I told you it was C+. I told you I wasn't wrong, but you guys didn't believe me."

????

Wait, did I open this the wrong way?

"No, bro, are you still hung up on your special talent?"

"Damn, you guy—every step of yours is outside my calculations."

"No, bro, it's already this late and you're still hung up on whether your earlier size call was right?"

"This pretty boy is quite the stubborn one."

Old Liu simply stopped talking and said, "That thing of yours is actually pretty useless."

"It saved a lot of trouble. Otherwise, how would you guys have checked the underwear?"

Old Liu said, "Maybe the killer was an admirer of this woman, so fingerprints and such could naturally be left on the underwear."

": Do you believe that?"

"Forget it, I don't believe it either. Start cutting."

Old Liu seemed to get a competitive streak and began cutting quickly, going with a Y-shaped incision.

Chen Fan made a single cut and sliced straight open.

Then, the livestream viewers couldn't stay calm.

Old Liu's speed was already very fast, and with two guys assisting, it was basically top-tier within the industry.

Chen Fan, on the other hand, didn't care. He cut open the belly, took out the five organs, and handed them straight to Cheng Ruofei beside him.

"Weigh it."

The first weighing hadn't even finished, and the second one was already taken out.

Then, Chen Fan took a saw and went snip-snip, cutting the bones apart.

"Weigh it."

"Drug test, seal the bag."

"Are you a pig? How are you so slow? I've already finished cutting, and you've only sealed two bags?"

At this moment, Chen Fan, wearing latex gloves, bummed a cigarette off someone, sat beside the dissection table, and quietly started smoking.

A hand stained with fresh blood, paired with a cigarette, smiling eyes, and that comfortable expression on his face.

This guy is absolutely, absolutely a pervert.

Ten million people watching online at the same time is definitely unprecedented, yet Chen Fan only needed a few minutes to make all of them stop watching.

The director was about to explode with rage.;

"Couldn't you dissect a little longer? What great traffic that would be."

The operations manager said: "But, many of them were actually passersby who never even entered the livestream room; the real number of people is even more than this."
