Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Heading South to Yangcheng The taxi started. Lin Xiaosu closed his eyes to relax. Some knowledge of the Infrasound Technique was rapidly playing out in his mind... He grew increasingly confident in his understanding. The Jiangcheng police’s Special Cases Team had concluded that the mysterious death by magic sound couldn’t be the Infrasound Technique. Because the wave he sensed through the Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit didn’t match the characteristics of the Infrasound Technique... This judgment was based on two key points. First: his comprehensive understanding of the Infrasound Technique. Second: he possessed the Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit, and more importantly, the ability of time space reversal, allowing him to precisely "see" the moment Lu Qianjin died, and the brain turmoil leading to its complete destruction. These two key points were beyond the reach of the Special Cases Team. It could even be said that there was probably only one person in the world who could find it all — him! This had transcended detective work and entered the realm of true Divine Skill. At this moment in Jiangcheng, the Mayor’s office. He Gaosheng had an expression that shifted like stormy clouds... In just half a day, Lin Xiaosu had indeed found Lu Qianjin. This was a miracle! Although he had never underestimated this detective coming from little Fengcheng, today’s events still shocked him. This was simply not human! However, the subsequent events once again struck at his nerves: "The mysterious death by magic sound... it’s truly magic sound! What did the Special Cases Team say?" "Their judgment is still the Infrasound Technique!" Shen Yinchuan replied. "Infrasound Technique... Sometimes modern technology is truly terrifying!" He Gaosheng said, "A phone call can kill someone — who in this world can escape from it? This black hand must be removed, otherwise dark clouds will linger over all of Daxia!" "Who wouldn’t agree?" Shen Yinchuan deeply felt this, even he, as the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team, was anxious while answering a few phone calls today. Why did the public know so little about the mysterious death by magic sound? Simply because the police intentionally sealed off such news. They feared that once the news spread, public panic would become inevitable. After all, in modern society, everyone receives innumerable phone calls daily; if they knew that calls could lead to silent death, what could be done? Surely, one cannot stop answering calls forever? If society cannot be reverted back to primitive times, then the news must be sealed to maintain temporary calm. He Gaosheng slowly lifted his gaze, "Does he... does he have any way to identify this black hand?" His "he" evidently referred to Lin Xiaosu. In his mind at this moment, Lin Xiaosu was truly the world’s top detective. Shen Yinchuan replied, "The whole process was in front of him; if there were a way, he should have mentioned it already. His silence suggests he’s equally clueless about this new killing technique. Ultimately, every detective faces the challenge of high-tech tactics, and high-tech crime methods might even touch upon his knowledge blind spot and tracking weaknesses." "Indeed! Detective tracking relies on clues, yet the mysterious death by magic sound leaves no trace..." He Gaosheng said, "The resurrection of Lu Qianjin validates our prior suspicions about those businesses..." After some arrangements, Shen Yinchuan left the Mayor’s office. Meanwhile at Nanhu Villa District, Lin Xiaosu arrived by taxi at the road before Ding’s Villa. The rippling waters of Nanhu manifested under his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye. Lin Xiaosu saw a large fish beneath the waves. Suddenly, his heart raced... The ripples were caused by the fish beneath the waves! Could it be that the brainstorm at Lu Qianjin’s moment of death also resulted from a living organism? His Human Tao Orchid Heart replayed the scene from the crime scene... He had a startling revelation, suspecting that before Lu Qianjin died, there seemed to be a living organism in his brain — perhaps insects, maybe... countless insects! He extended his hand and made a call to Shen Yinchuan: "Chief Shen! Check whether there was any living organism or toxin in Lu Qianjin’s brain!" Shen Yinchuan replied, "The brain autopsy is complete, and there were no living organisms or toxins. The initial judgment matches previous cases of mysterious death by magic sound: no external injuries, but all brain cells were destroyed by an unseen entity, perfectly matching the characteristics of infrasound harm." The call ended. Lin Xiaosu knitted his brows tightly... Dismissed! No living organisms, no toxins... Which step was flawed? He got out of the taxi, paid the fare, and approached Ding’s Villa. Ding Ruoshui swiftly stood up after Old Sun, the gardener, opened the gate and arrived at the courtyard door... Her mother followed closely behind, smiling brightly: "I was just scolding Ruoshui — I said she’s useless, went on a trip and lost her boyfriend." Ding Ruoshui exclaimed, "I’ve been telling her, you were called away by the Mayor personally, and she still doesn’t believe me. Little Su, quickly explain, is that what happened?" "Yes, I just helped Mayor He with a case." With Lin Xiaosu’s confirmation, Mrs. Ding believed: "It’s not that I don’t believe! Mainly... well, let’s not talk about it! Su’er, come inside." She didn’t continue because the subject was somewhat taboo. Earlier at the wedding, Lin Xiaosu had a conflict with He Bin, who died at the ceremony, leaving Mrs. Ding deeply concerned. She’s consistently worried about Mayor He’s hostility towards him. This time Ding Ruoshui returned, saying Mayor He specifically invited him, and she frankly didn’t believe it. For most parents, Mayor He surely harbors resentment, and even if he’s in no position to retaliate as a Mayor, it’s certainly unlikely she’d invite him. But Lin Xiaosu confirmed it. Mrs. Ding thus believed. Regardless of whether she believed it or not, her prospective son-in-law returned safe and sound, and by taxi alone, suggesting his relationship with her daughter remained intact, which sufficed. With the son-in-law’s arrival, her plan enacted. She went to arrange dinner in the kitchen, called Old Ding home, then let her daughter and son-in-law accompany each other on the rooftop... At sunset by Nanhu, villa rooftop, no one around. Ding Ruoshui felt slightly embarrassed: "Today Xia Tian was outrageous; once you left, I immediately followed. Xiao Ya recently texted to apologize, I haven’t replied! That bastard, born loser, idiot, lacks any character!" "Born idiot?" Lin Xiaosu slightly smiled, "If he’s truly an idiot, then fine, there’s plenty of idiots globally, one more nor less doesn’t matter but..." His voice paused. His gaze became mysterious. Ding Ruoshui slightly startled, "You mean... he’s not an idiot?" "Some occurrences are peculiar!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Upon detailed analysis, it indeed seems bizarre." "Do share..." Ding Ruoshui poured him some tea, placing it beside him. Lin Xiaosu took the cup, sipping gently: "You may call Xia Tian an idiot, but I believe no one would call Xia Zhongliang an idiot, yet this seemingly not an idiot person performs actions akin to idiocy." "Such as?" "As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. We all know Xia Tian is an idiot, yet his father Xia Zhongliang, surely knows this too. So why does he let this idiot spread a joke worldwide?" Ding Ruoshui was taken aback, "True! Even if Xia Zhongliang doesn’t mind a loss of four or five minor goals, he must care about the Xia Family’s reputation — sacrificing billions making his son a worldwide joke, why?" "Modern society is chaotic; sometimes seemingly unreasonable acts have logical explanations." Lin Xiaosu stated, "Take, for instance, Xia Tian’s antics are a joke, yet because of him, Qixing Group gained nationwide fame — is such invisible advertising expense and massive traffic worth billions?" "So... it’s ’negative exposure is still exposure’?" Ding Ruoshui gasped.
