The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 329: Chapter 329 Clues!
Perceiving the other party’s unfriendly attitude, Huang Xiaolong also loses his temper and retorts coldly, “Who I am is none of your business.”

“You!!!” The square-faced man looks darkened and seems about to blow a fuse, but restrains himself for Lin Jing’s sake.

“All right, Old Zhong, this is my friend, Little Long.” Lin Jing glanced at the square-faced man, “Old Zhong,” then smiled at Huang Xiaolong. “Little Long, do me a favor, don’t be so confrontational. This is Old Zhong, a deputy director of the city bureau and the deputy head of the special case team, assisting me with this investigation.”

Old Zhong glares at Huang Xiaolong, growing angrier by the second!

Usually, Lin Jing is as cold as ice, indifferent to men. But today, she is surprisingly tender in front of this boy who is years younger than her. What is the nature of their relationship?

With Old Zhong’s family background, he is considered upper-class in Binhai. As a deputy director of the Binhai City’s Public Security Bureau, in charge of criminal investigations, he has already achieved success in his career.

He has high standards, still unmarried, but considers Lin Jing his pursuit!

In terms of appearance, temperament, ability, potential, or family background, Lin Jing is universally recognized as a goddess. If Old Zhong could win Lin Jing over, he would not merely gain romantically, but it would greatly smooth his career path as well!

Therefore, he instinctively views any man who gets close to Lin Jing as a rival!

“Come, Little Long, and help me see if you can find any useful clues,” Lin Jing eagerly says. She highly appreciates Huang Xiaolong’s abilities. He is almost like a godsend. Therefore, she pins her hopes on Huang Xiaolong for this seemingly unsolvable case.

“Captain Lin… is he a police officer?” Old Zhong coldly asked from the side.

“No.” Lin Jing looks straight at Old Zhong. “Even if he’s not a policeman, every citizen of Binhai City has the obligation and responsibility to assist the police in solving crimes, right?”

“This” Old Zhong is left speechless by Lin Jing’s words, “Captain Lin, we can’t find any leads in this dismemberment case even with our special case team. Involving this boy… it seems to have no impact. I don’t believe he can help find any clues. Could it be that… he is a witness?”

Lin Jing disregards Old Zhong and brings Huang Xiaolong to the forensic doctors. Huang Xiaolong sees a human leg, which has been burned to a charred black, revealing no identifiable features. Additionally, there is a human arm, somewhat rotten, where a tattoo of a Kylin could be vaguely seen.

“Little Long, according to our police procedures, the first step is to confirm the identity of the deceased.” Lin Jing looks at Huang Xiaolong full of hope.

“I see, Sister Jing, let me think…” Huang Xiaolong began to ponder.

To Huang Xiaolong, confirming the identity of a dead person was simple, just summon the soul of the deceased. But the current problem is-

1. The deceased’s name and birth date on the Chinese lunar calendar are unknown.

2. Generally, those who were murdered and dismembered have great resentment after death and their souls could be seen or found at the place of their death. However, this is not the location where the crime occurred. It’s likely the murderer killed and dismembered the victim outside of Binhai City, then dumped the body here…

Therefore, for Huang Xiaolong, conjuring the soul would be difficult.

‘Well, later I’ll ask the wandering souls around here if they have seen any clues…’ Huang Xiaolong thought.

“So, what have you figured out?” Old Zhong also walked over, a taunting smile on his face. “Don’t think that reading a few detective novels can solve the case. Even we, career criminal police, haven’t figured it out yet. What can you do?”

After speaking, he turned to Lin Jing. “Captain Lin, you were always calm. Why would you believe an outsider?”

“Huh Old Zhong, no one would think you’re a mute if you talk less.” Lin Jing appeared to be getting rather disgusted with Old Zhong, and retorted sarcastically.

“Enough already, would you?” Huang Xiaolong said with annoyance. “Sister Jing said we have five days to solve the case. In that time, I’ll definitely solve this dismemberment case for her. It’s just a minor matter!”

Exactly, as a formidable ghost official, to solve a dismemberment case is no big deal. It’s just a bit of a hassle!

“Hahaha you think you can do that?” Old Zhong started to laugh maliciously. “Fine, if you solve this case within five days, I, Zhong Zhigang, will personally present you a pennant, reward money, and write you a big ‘I Surrender’!”

Huang Xiaolong gave a disdainful laugh and thought, ‘Who the hell cares about your rewards? If it weren’t for Sister Jing, I wouldn’t bother with matters as trivial as this!’

Since he couldn’t summon spirits for the time being, Huang Xiaolong switched his focus back to the arm.

“Don’t delude yourself into thinking you can find any clues from this tattoo,” Old Zhong sneered. “The deceased had a Kylin tattoo on his arm, and there are countless tattoo shops in Binhai. It’s not uncommon to see people with Kylins tattooed on their arm. Moreover, what if the deceased wasn’t a local? If he had his tattoo done in another city, no matter how many police officers we mobilize, we won’t find a single clue.”

Just then, Huang Xiaolong noticed a bite mark on the arm!

It was a human bite mark!

Near this bite mark, a small patch of skin was blackened and slightly coated with dried blood!

The arm was imbued with traces of corpse and yin energies!

‘This… the deceased was bitten by a zombie… this arm was infected… However, it didn’t turn into a zombie because the deceased was killed shortly after being bitten… preventing the poison from spreading throughout the body.’

‘Zombie? Hehehe… Things just got interesting…’ Huang Xiaolong’s eyes sparkled.

He was naturally interested in things like ghosts and zombies.

If it were just an ordinary murder and dismemberment case, Huang Xiaolong wouldn’t be much interested, but now it was confirmed that the deceased had been bitten by a zombie before his death, which immediately enlivened Huang Xiaolong!

However, he couldn’t possibly reveal that the owner of this arm had been bitten by a zombie, possibly even bitten to death by one. If he did, he would definitely make the officers burst into laughter.

Especially Old Zhong, who would probably seize the opportunity to ridicule him mercilessly.

He continued to observe.

Huang Xiaolong noticed that the arm’s fingers had a pattern of three long, two short!

The term ‘three long two short’ here meant that the nails of the thumb, ring finger, and little finger were long, just like a girl’s.

But the nails on the middle finger and index finger were cut very short and clean.

All of a sudden, a light bulb went off in Huang Xiaolong’s mind!

“Ehhhhh” Huang Xiaolong lifted his right hand, put his index and middle finger together and spread them out…

“Little Long, what are you doing?” Lin Jing looked at Huang Xiaolong with curiosity.

“Sister Jing, look, my fingers, in this position, what does it look like?” Huang Xiaolong made a ‘digging’ gesture with his index and middle fingers.

“This…” Seeing this, Lin Jing immediately blushed, glared at Huang Xiaolong, and whispered, “Little Long, how… how could your thoughts be so… so dirty!”

“Pft Sis, you really get me…” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, “By the way, Sister Jing, I once saw a meme where a pretty girl had a manicure, but out of all her fingers, only her index and middle finger didn’t have anything done. Not only did they not have a manicure, but they also were cut very short and clean…”

“Little Long! Stop talking rubbish! You… stop making me so mad!” Lin Jing was both amused and embarrassed. She didn’t understand why Huang Xiaolong would bring up such inappropriate topics in front of her.

“No, Sister Jing, you’re misunderstanding me!” said Huang Xiaolong with an innocent face. “Sister Jing, think about it, this arm, three of the fingers have long nails, and two are bald and clean. Combine that with that meme, guess what occupation the owner of this arm had?”

“Little Long, are you implying…?” Lin Jing’s body trembled slightly, her pupils contracted!

The forensic doctor and the police officers around had heard the conversation between Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing. At first, they also thought that Huang Xiaolong was just making inappropriate jokes.

But after hearing Huang Xiaolong’s explanation, their eyes lit up!

“Boy! You’re really meticulous! A lead! This is a lead! If we can determine the victim’s occupation, that would definitely be a useful clue!” An old detective couldn’t help but exclaim.
