Chapter 573

Containing a corpse that had been turned into a specimen.

The corpse's eyes were not closed; they were wide open, as if frozen in the instant of death.

The moment he saw the corpse.

Chen Fan's mind instantly flashed back to a memory.

The surroundings were dark, but he could still make out the outlines of trees, indicating the scene was somewhere in a forest.

Then.

Chen Fan heard the victim's pleading voice.

"Please, don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll give you a lot of money—just let me buy my own life."

But the killer ignored her, slowly tightening the rope around her neck until she was strangled to death.

The vision ended quickly, lasting only three seconds.

This scene was filled with despair; even Chen Fan felt a moment of dizziness, as if he were suffocating.

Fortunately, Liu Mengyan noticed Chen Fan's odd state and interrupted his thoughts: "Teacher? What's wrong? Why suddenly…?"

Chen Fan shook his head and said: "Nothing, just something suddenly came to mind."

Liu Mengyan did not press further.

Instead, Chen Fan sank into another train of thought.

When he had examined the corpse in the autopsy room—only the head and arms remaining—he had not flashed back to these memories.

It was only seeing this specimen that brought him the most desperate three seconds.

Could it be…

That this skill has triggering conditions?

That not every corpse can trigger it?

Chen Fan shook his head; now was not the time to ponder this.

The female officer had stopped screaming and was taken away to rest.

Li Tian and Xiang Qinqin moved the human specimen out of the box.

But once they moved it out, they realized there was more beneath the box.

Inside were not just one human specimen, but many other badly damaged body specimens.

Such as an arm, a leg…

All of them were parts of human bodies.

So many specimens stored in the same box, and so well preserved.

If these hadn't been found in the killer's home…

No one would have guessed such an ordinary-looking person could be such a dangerous killer.

"These limbs don't appear to belong to the same person," said Lao Song.

Chen Fan nodded and said: "This hand and that leg belong to the same person—they both have tattoos identical to the tattooed woman in the video."

"And this ear—it has a black mole, the same as the woman in the video whose intestines were ripped out alive."

"And this ear has a mole on it; it is the same woman whose intestines were ripped out alive in the video."

Chen Fan was about to continue when Li Tian interrupted him.

"Don't say any more, don't say any more—you'll get this livestream shut down."

Chen Fan finally looked at the camera.

"Aaaah! Chen Fan's looking at the camera! No, Chen Fan's looking at me! How could such a coincidence exist? Chen Fan must like me!"

"Unbelievable—can some of these crazy fans please leave? At such a serious moment, saying this kind of thing—do you even respect the dead?"

"Damn, how handsome is this guy? Those eyes are meant to kill someone, right?"

"I'll admit it—Chen Fan has about three-tenths of my looks."

"Pfft! You shameless liar—who the hell pees yellow to splash him?"

"I've seen so many twisted killers, but never one who turned victims into specimens—this denies them even peace after death."

"Do you think if this guy is Chen Fan's fan, maybe Chen Fan has similar tendencies?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Can Chen Fan possibly be the same as a killer? Chen Fan would never stoop to being a murderer."

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could Chen Fan be the same as the murderer? Chen Fan would never deign to be a murderer."

Before everyone could pull all the limb specimens out of the box,

Before anyone could take the preserved limbs out of the box.

The officers checking the kitchen also discovered another horrific sight.

One of the officers led Li Tian and the others to the kitchen and gestured toward the freezer.

The freezer was small, the kind most common in rural areas over a decade ago.

The freezer door had already been opened by others; inside, besides some frozen meat, was a black bag.

The bag had been opened, and inside were several human secondary sexual characteristics.

The bag had already been opened; inside were the secondary sexual characteristics from several people's bodies.

Everyone fell silent at the sight.

Everyone fell silent at the scene before them.

Why hadn't they noticed before—the dismembered specimens were missing two organs?

One upper, one lower, both extremely sensitive.

Chen Fan reached out, took them from the bag, and counted them.

Chen Fan reached out, took something out of the bag, and counted it.

Not one more, not one less — exactly three pairs.

Setting aside the one victim who was made into a complete specimen, these should belong to the other three people...

"Dammit!"

Old Song let out a curse.

This time, he was truly furious.

"Take all of this back."

Chen Fan said.

The greatest humiliation for the four women who died at this killer's hands was not the torment they suffered before death.

It was that, even after death, they had to become the killer's tools for venting his lust, denied the chance to pass on.

After searching the deceased's residence, everyone brought the evidence back to the police station.

And at this time—

Good news came from the police station of the neighboring city.

The killer, Lin Dahai, had been caught in a red-light district of the neighboring city.

From what was heard, Lin Dahai had wanted to freeload someone's services; when that person refused, he threw a huge fit.

Unexpectedly, the police happened to be patrolling nearby and caught Lin Dahai on the spot.

Hearing this news, everyone was greatly encouraged.

And this case had no real mystery to speak of — it only made one sigh over the misfortune of those four girls.

……

Six-thirty.

Interrogation room.

Lin Dahai sat in the chair of the interrogation room, his hands and feet already shackled in cuffs.

A burly policeman stood on each side of him.

Seeing so many people walk into the interrogation room, Lin Dahai was not afraid at all — instead, he laughed.

"I'm really lucky, huh — so many people coming to judge me? There's even a TV station? Then I've become famous, haven't I?"

Lin Dahai spoke in a very casual tone, as if he felt no shame over his 3.5 evil deeds.
