Just as he stepped in, he happened to bump into someone who had just arrived for work.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, it's you again?"

The institution's head was taken aback, glanced Xu Liang up and down once more, showing hesitation on his face.

"You seem..."

To be honest, the head always suspected Xu Liang of being a tomb robber, at worst someone who dug up wild graves for burial goods.

It's not that the other party gave off that vibe.

It's simply judging a book by its cover!

What good person runs to a forensic institution three or four times a day, each time bringing in a pile of rotten corpses!?

Not to mention, he arrived covered in mud!

Did he really think that when he was moving the corpses, no one saw that hoe and spade on the tricycle?

Thinking of this.

The head couldn't help it, his scalp tingled, and he cautiously probed.

"You really didn't go tomb robbing?"

"What?" Xu Liang was stunned, his original words interrupted.

"Nothing."

The head realized he misspoke and quickly steered back to the main topic.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, you're here for the corpse from last night, right?"

"We worked overtime to rush it out last night!"

As he spoke.

The head went to the front desk of the institution and opened a locked cabinet.

A pile of documents appeared in it, and after rifling through them a bit, he pulled out a file and stood up to Xu Liang.

"The autopsy report is here, take a look."

Xu Liang paused, swallowed his words, took the file and began to read it.

Afraid he wouldn't understand.

The head began explaining from the side:

"According to the test report, the body contains a large amount of heavy metal substances, with severe damage to various organs."

"Among them, the lungs and heart, already showing organ fatigue."

"And the cause of death... was cardiac arrest induced by excessive short-term stimulation."

This was the autopsy report of Sun Jin.

Wang Chao had carried it over late last night, and the institution conducted an autopsy without over-examining it.

As for the test report... it was similar to that of Zhao Shui's child and even some other bodies, containing large amounts of heavy metal elements!

If it was before.

Xu Liang might have found a way to push the case further, presenting this evidence in court.

However, after going to the barren mountain and finding a new batch of clues...

Xu Liang wouldn't think this way anymore.

"Near Huangyan Village... where do the children go to school?"

Xu Liang looked at the report file, suddenly raising a question.

Huangyan Village? Children?

The head was taken aback, thought for a moment, and replied:

"Sunshine Primary School."

"Sunzhou isn't big; the kids from the town near Huangyan Village all go to that school."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao's eyelid twitched, immediately grasping Xu Liang's meaning.

Jin Bo's clues had mentioned this school.

The reason the other party could investigate further was because they suspected his physical anomalies weren't caused by groundwater, but rather...

The school building!

Now, during his lifetime, Sun Jin was studying at the school...

In an instant.

Wang Chao's pupils shrank suddenly.

He suddenly understood why Luo Jun would steal and then burn the body!

Perhaps, Sun Jin's organ failure... had another culprit!

"Do it again; this body is not ordinary."

Xu Liang returned the report, looking heavily at the head.

Not ordinary?

The head was stunned, and before he could speak, Xu Liang continued:

"Other than heavy metals, there are things that can cause organ failure."

If...

If there really is a problem with Sunshine Primary School, and that batch of steel was used in the construction...

Then, what's causing organ failure might not be heavy metals, but that batch of steel!

Can this be investigated?

It can be!

But... it requires thorough investigation!

"Investigate what?" The head's mind was buzzing, not knowing what the other party was talking about.

"Cobalt-60!" Xu Liang spoke abruptly.

The head jumped as if pricked by a needle.

"In... investigate what!?" He stared wide-eyed, incredulous. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Don't worry."

Xu Liang said calmly.

"This child had once traveled and gotten lost near a nuclear power plant, and after returning, was diagnosed with organ failure."

"So the parents suspect it might be a radiation issue."

Hearing this.

The head finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He decided to believe the explanation, after all, not believing would mean dealing with big trouble.

As for whether it can still be detected two months after a winter break and after being away from school materials...

The head pondered this for a long time.

Finally, he spoke up:

"We can try, but I can't ensure we'll find anything."

This would require a very professional team and equipment, and there's no guarantee of detection.

But...

For Xu Liang, this was enough.

"Alright." Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

The origin of this body wasn't very legitimate, and he was somewhat afraid of being questioned.

But questions were questions.

There wasn't a big issue.

After all... they weren't the ones who stole the body, they only took the body someone else stole; it's a righteous rescue!

"By the way."

As he said this, Xu Liang suddenly thought of another matter.

He hurriedly fetched a bunch of wrapped clothes from the trunk of his car outside the institution.

The head watched with interest.

Until...

"Crash!"

Xu Liang unwrapped the clothes, revealing a pile of white bones and scraps of cloth.

At the same time, he carried out some sampling on the spot, handing over anything that might be useful.

Head: ?

"Another body needs to be checked to identify the person."

"Yes, you just need to verify its DNA."

Xu Liang said.

Looking at the white bones, the head's mouth slightly opened, then glanced at Xu Liang's dust-covered clothes, eventually.

He asked again:

"Mr. Xu... are you sure you're not a tomb or grave digger?"

This corpse had been dead for at least four years!

From what nook or cranny had it been dug out?

Is it even legal?

Should he call the police, or make a record?

The head's mind was in some disarray, unable to process the information for a short while.

"Don't worry, the source of the corpse is guaranteed legal."

Xu Liang reassured him.

"My name is Xu Liang, a lawyer from Lanshan Province, involved in a few high-profile cases a few months ago."

"You can find news by searching my name online."

"I swear on my honor, these corpses... all come from legal sources!"

Upon hearing, the head was still half-doubtful, but ultimately complied.

"Alright."

He took the skeleton and walked towards the laboratory.

Watching the head's disappearing figure.

Only then did Xu Liang breathe a sigh of relief, fatigue spreading from his bones, leaving him feeling weak.

"What do we do now?"

Wang Chao was fully spirited, showing no signs of fatigue, even after a day and a night without sleep, grave digging and body stealing, showing not a hint of weariness.

Xu Liang fell into thought.

At present.

The most crucial thing is evidence organization, which is his primary goal.

After long contemplation.

Finally.

His voice slowly sounded by their ears.

"Review the information again."

After pondering a while, Xu Liang immediately started organizing Jin Bo, laying all the information out.

This information was not yet in order.

In the broken temple, the logical explanations Xu Liang saw extended across very broad dimensions.

Lacking many antecedents, that is, the reasons for the investigation.

For example, Jin Bo initially suspected groundwater, then abruptly dismissed that notion and shifted focus to buildings, even pointing directly at the steel!

What is the reason behind this?

Why target the steel?

Xu Liang didn't know, but as a lawyer, Jin Bo must be aware of the consequences of a logical discontinuity, so he would certainly explain!

However, before he had arranged everything, had not yet managed to sort it all out...

He was discovered by Luo Jun, leading to his death!

"First, organize the information properly!"

Xu Liang said, prompting the two of them to arrange the information in front of them according to words and time logic.

Soon.

This logically fractured report...

Appeared once more in front of them with a meticulous stance!

Xu Liang quickly started reading.

"October 3, 1999, at the request of local residents, I came to Sunshine Primary School to investigate an environmental pollution case..."
