Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 129: I Agree to Join You

The body of the Control Ability User was stored in the laboratory freezer, with no forensic pathologist present to conduct an autopsy.

When Ji Ning arrived, she happened to see five or six masked individuals in white uniforms preparing to move the body.

Fu Yuanxuan explained, "They are from the research institute. All Control Ability Users must be dissected by the institute’s professionals."

Ji Ning said nothing, walked straight over, and stopped them. "I want to see the body."

The people from the institute glanced at Fu Yuanxuan and did not stop her.

Ji Ning lifted the cold white cloth, revealing a face that was bruised, purple, and fierce.

There were bloodstains at the corners of his eyes and mouth, his eyes wide open, and his expression seemed shocked.

His limbs were wrapped in gauze, and a crossbow arrow was inserted into his heart. The tail of the arrow indeed had the character ’Ji.’

Ji Ning put on gloves, pressed her hand against the stiffness of the skin, then pressed the back of his head, finally wiped the blood on the body to her nose to smell it, and then covered the body with the white cloth again, taking off her gloves.

The research institute people moved the body again, and Ji Ning threw the gloves into the nearby yellow waste bin.

Fu Yuanxuan thought she noticed something, and after the institute’s people entered the laboratory with the body, he asked in a low voice, "Do you know how he died?"

Ji Ning glanced at him, "Preliminary judgment is poisoning, but we still need their report for specifics."

"Is that all?"

"What else? I’m not a forensic expert."

Fu Yuanxuan was met with a soft refusal.

Ji Ning walked to the window, opened it, and half-leaned on the windowsill to look outside.

In the back of that Control Ability User’s head, there was a wound. It wasn’t large, but it was deep, as if something had been gouged out from there.

There were obvious pinholes on his wrist, likely indicating that a suppression ring had been activated.

Additionally, the poison in his body only spread to the throat, not to the stomach, indicating he was force-fed poison post-mortem.

The stiffness of his body was not too hard, and with freezing factors involved, the time of death couldn’t be determined.

Finally, the fatal crossbow arrow; the ’Ji’ character was her usual way of carving, but the arrow wasn’t made by her.

The killer is quite interesting.

Ji Ning’s pupils gradually deepened.

Invisible spiritual power spread inside the laboratory.

Inside the laboratory.

The first thing they checked was the back of the head, and one of them used a Healing Ability on it.

Ji Ning tutted.

This person’s Healing Ability wasn’t weak, at least eighth tier, one of the highest she’d seen among superpower users.

A superpower user’s corpse activated an eighth-tier Ability User, truly unusual.

"There should have been a chip here, but it’s gone now."

"Looks like it was those people. That chip should have important secrets."

Just as they were speaking, an Ability User named Huang Qi suddenly said, "Be careful, there’s poison in his mouth, this poison is insidious and will damage the central nervous system."

"Looks like those people are getting anxious. Afraid we might find something?" Huang Wu pulled the crossbow arrow from the corpse’s chest and tossed it onto the tray beside him, continuing, "A bunch of insignificant people, only knowing how to play these tricks."

"But this is troublesome, the higher-ups don’t want this surname to appear in public view anymore. Now it’s entangled with the base..." Huang Qi expressed some worry.

Huang Wu glanced at the arrow he pointed at, a trace of irritation flashing in his eyes.

Recently, those people are becoming more and more rampant. Do they think using these small tricks can seize power?

They are simply courting death!

"The arrow material is somewhat similar to the material from 120 years ago, but upon closer inspection, there are slight differences. Just report it truthfully. Huang Jiu, equip the brain clearing device, set the values to maximum."

Huang Jiu immediately took a metal cap from the side and placed it on the corpse’s head.

Outside, Ji Ning frowned slightly, brain clearing device?

What is that?

After they turned off the device, Ji Ning’s spiritual power probed again, showing a hint of shock in her eyes.

The four brain tissues related to memory in the corpse’s brain were completely shattered.

They really gave no chance for anyone to extract secrets...

Ji Ning pressed her lips tightly, her gaze towards the distance becoming much colder.

An hour later, several superpower users from the research institute came out, handing the autopsy report to Fu Yuanxuan.

Ji Ning already knew the result, glanced at them, and directly turned to leave.

The report stated the cause of death was the crossbow arrow piercing the heart, leading to physical death.

It also mentioned the deceased was force-fed poison after death to confuse the cause of death, but the report did not mention the wound on the back of the head.

It seems that chip is very important!

Seeing her leaving, Fu Yuanxuan didn’t even care to look at the report and hurriedly chased after her.

This made the research institute’s superpower users slightly surprised, casting their eyes on that petite back.

Who is that person?

Why did she make the young master of the Fu family neglect his official duties?

Fu Yuanxuan blocked Ji Ning at the elevator entrance, "Wait a minute, don’t you want to see the result? Or do you already know some clues?"

Since Ji Ning arrived, she had been excessively calm.

In such a situation, either she knows nothing, or she already knows everything.

But how could she know nothing?

Fu Yuanxuan was sure she knew something, especially about the ’Ji’ character on the arrow tail.

If she didn’t know, she wouldn’t have arrived immediately after hearing this.

Ji Ning looked up at him, chuckling lightly, "What can I know? Maybe you think too highly of me. I’m just a high school student."

"But you’re not an ordinary high school student, you’re..."

Fu Yuanxuan did not finish the sentence, but the meaning was obvious.

A high school student with superpowers, a special surname, and an untraceable identity, how could they be ordinary?

Ji Ning glanced at the elevator light that lit up, and said blandly, "Think what you want, I’m leaving first. Goodbye!"

"You..."

Fu Yuanxuan watched Ji Ning enter the elevator, smiled at him, and then pressed the close-door button.

She left with such a crisp and neat manner.

Fu Yuanxuan had no reason to stop her.

She’s not from the base and even helped him find the real mole and killer.

He also had no reason to forcibly involve her in the case.

By the way, he still had one more chance to question her!

Fu Yuanxuan’s gaze brightened at this thought, just as he was about to press the elevator button, he heard a voice from the research institute behind him.

"Captain Fu, the autopsy report needs your signature."

"Ah, okay."

This step was slow, leaving everything slow.

By the time Fu Yuanxuan chased downstairs, he only saw Mantis sleeping in the car, and Ji Ning was nowhere in sight.

As for where Ji Ning went?

She dialed the number on the card in her pocket.

"I agree to join you, give me an address, I have something to ask you."

They quickly sent an address.

Marriott Hotel, Room 3412.

Ji Ning raised an eyebrow slightly; these people were quite bold.

Despite being wanted by the police, they still dared to stay in such a nice hotel.

Marriott is currently one of the higher-end hotels in Anhe City, but not invested by the Sun Family.

Sun Yazhu had previously mentioned wanting to invest in Anhe, and had mentioned the Marriott Hotel in a casual conversation.

She wasn’t planning to relocate it, intending instead to buy out the Marriott and reconstruct the biggest seven-star hotel in Anhe directly on its original site.

Timing-wise, that girl should have arrived in Anhe, right?
