Chapter 281

A familiar voice rang in his ear. Chen Fan looked at the skill in front of him and fell into deep thought. The skills given this time were not few.

Because the category given this time was about chemistry.

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained the skill: One Cup of Water to Blow Up a Building.]

[One Cup of Water to Blow Up a Building: When your chemistry talent is maxed out, the world you see is full of danger, and you yourself are extremely dangerous. Simple chemical items, household goods, can all become weapons. A cup of water, some flour, or even simple lime can become a weapon to kill people.]

[Skill Extension: You can even hand-craft a nuclear bomb, right?]

Screw your mother, hand-craft a nuclear bomb? Why don't you fly to the sky while you're at it.

However, Chen Fan roughly understood what kind of skill this was. To put it bluntly, this is a terrorist's skill.

Chen Fan even felt that this might be a conceptual-level skill; among it, there really wasn't much that could be used.

Chen Fan really had no interest in pure chemical research, but if you told Chen Fan to craft a simple plastic explosive or something, Chen Fan could craft one for you in minutes.

Here, Chen Fan arrived at the Forensic Institute.

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, he saw Old Liu talking to someone.

Old Song said: "Regarding yesterday's kidnapping, it seems it really won't be possible to sentence them for much..."

Chen Fan said: "It was like that to begin with. By the way, what is your purpose for coming here?"

"It's just the case. In this case, it's already confirmed that the person is dead. The body is being sent here; you can perform the autopsy later."

Chen Fan said: "Let my apprentice do it..."

Liu Mengyan, who was eating, looked up and said: "Huh?"

Chen Fan said: "That's right, go ahead. It's an old tradition; start with a body to warm up. For a forensic doctor, it's very normal."

Alright.

Afterwards, when the body arrived, the deceased was a woman.

Liu Mengyan wore a mask and then performed the autopsy according to the textbooks.

The audience watched Liu Mengyan's awkward movements and said: "Wait, something's not right. Liu Mengyan is not right here; this woman isn't disgusted."

"Yeah, I just realized this woman seems... not disgusted."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, could this really be a natural-born psychopath?"

Old Liu looked at Little Liu and said: "This apprentice of yours is not quite right."

Chen Fan said: "I read the file. It's similar to hyperthymesia; she sees many things, and her brain has flashbacks. I estimate she has flashed back countless times, so she wouldn't feel disgusted."

"That must be very exhausting."

Chen Fan said: "One's own talent is also a curse, so it's normal..."

Liu Mengyan looked at the liver and said: "Death by poisoning. The poison, I am still testing..."

Poisoning?

This case was not right.

Chen Fan and Old Liu quickly put on masks. Here, Liu Mengyan said: "Are you two going that far?"

Old Liu said: "When testing any poison, one must be careful because it can easily react with the human body and then become an infectious disease. This is very serious. If it really breaks out, we'll probably have to live inside here."

Poison testing; here, they quickly discovered the substances contained within, but this substance could not be bought.

This was a controlled item.

Then, the topic began to become serious.

Old Song said: "This thing can't be bought, right?"

Several people nodded one after another, indicating yes.

"Then where did this thing come from? How come? Is this woman a legendary badass? Did a killer come to kill her? From abroad? That's not right either; can't you not get in from abroad?"

Chen Fan said: "I do know of some plants that contain these things. Refining them isn't troublesome, but this plant is also considered to be from abroad."

Plants?

Old Song was speechless and said: "Then you guys go to the deceased's home and take a look."

Several people nodded and drove directly to the scene.

At this time, the house had been cleared out. The husband was comforting his daughter, while the old mother on the side was crying.

Chen Fan looked at the old mother, then looked directly at the window, looked at the flower pot, and said: "What was in here before?"

The man said: "This, it was just a flower. It died a while ago, so I threw it away."

Chen Fan said: "Your wife died of poisoning. This poison is generally rare in the country; it's a prohibited item. And it appeared in your home. What do you do for a living?"

"I am a chemistry teacher..."

Chen Fan looked at the man and said: "Since you are a chemistry teacher, you should know what things are poisonous..."

"I do know, but this refining requires steps, and it is very cumbersome. This thing is not that easy to refine. Besides, why would I refine this for no reason?"

Chen Fan picked up a magazine on the table at this moment.

He said: "What is this magazine?"

The man said: "It's just a foreign magazine I usually subscribe to..."

Chen Fan had a dark face and handed it directly to Liu Mengyan. Liu Mengyan scanned the magazine and found a page where the fingerprints had increased.

More fingerprints meant it was read often, and the plant on this page happened to be the plant on the man's windowsill.

Looking at the path of the fingerprints, Chen Fan quickly locked onto a person.

Old Song understood in a second, handed the handcuffs to the mother, and said: "Come with us."

The crying woman stopped instantly and said: "Why are you arresting me?"

Chen Fan said: "Fingerprints. You read this page many times. I think you still don't understand what these mean. You can actually look up a dictionary, but I really don't understand what you are trying to gain, going through all this trouble to kill your own daughter-in-law."

The old woman said: "This woman deserved to die. She shouldn't have come to our family. What kind of family is ours? What qualifications does she have to enter..."

At that moment, the daughter and husband were silent at the same time.

The man grabbed his mother and said: "What did she do wrong that you had to treat her like this? Mom, why? She's already like this, what more do you want?"

The mother said: "She can't cook, she can't clean the house. What's the use of a woman like this..."

The man said: "So what if she can't? She married down to me. She didn't come to our house to work. They only have one daughter in their family. She didn't do chores at home. She came to our house to work, didn't you ask?"

"Anyway, I think the previous woman was pretty good..."

Chen Fan looked at the old mother and said: "Actually, you aren't angry about her work, you're just angry that she is very beautiful..."

In an instant, the whole room fell silent.

"The previous woman, you found her, right? You found an ugly one. Are you doing it for your son's sake, or is it a woman's competitive desire?"
