On-site investigation

"Business!"

Jiu Zhengxuan pointed at Qin Yiguan, "You still have a murderous streak!"

Officer Wang's expression was strange; he seemed to understand something, but pretended not to.

The boy scanned the entire house.

He hadn't prepared in advance and couldn't simulate He Hongyuan's actions, but his eyes were like a high-speed camera, rapidly recording and observing every detail.

He Hongyuan was tied to a wooden frame with plants.

The vines of those plants were everywhere in the house, so we could use whatever we had on hand.

But those soft roots showed no signs of being squeezed, and the green leaves were incredibly fresh, as if they hadn't even left the soil and were still growing.

To bind a person with plants, a great deal of force would be required; how could there not be marks of compression?

Qin Yiguan squinted.

But then they saw that the plants binding He Hongyuan had sprouted tiny, white-bearded roots from the broken ends, and were absorbing the blood from He Hongyuan's capillaries through his skin.

"Blood-supplying plants?"

Qin Yiguan frowned. "These plants have mutated somewhat, and they're actively entangled with He Hongyuan. This is outside the realm of reality. This is Experimental Zone... Therefore, the murderer must possess Reality Enhancement, and these abilities must be related to plants!"

But this still needs to be corroborated.

Qin Yiguan continued to stare at the entire room.

But then Officer Wang said, "I think if we could find He Hongyuan's head, we might have further clues, but... Mr. He's head has probably already been taken away by the murderer and cannot be retrieved."

Qin Yiguan stared at a row of green plants in the corner, his eyes flashing, and said, "No, He Hongyuan's head has been in this room all along, and it's been watching us!"

"What?"

The people present changed color slightly, a chill running down their spines.

A row of plant pots in the corner is the source of the ivy that covers the entire house.

One of them was significantly thicker than the others!

Qin Yiguan stepped forward, grabbed the potted ivy, and lifted it up forcefully!

As the soil peeled away, a human head was revealed!

The human head Big Head, with ivy roots winding into its neck and penetrating its brain, drawing nourishment from it.

He Hongyuan died with his eyes wide open, his turned face staring intently at everyone present!

Although the officers at the scene were all experienced and had seen the body to some extent.

But unexpectedly, a head was pulled out of the flowerpot, and its face was so hideous that it made everyone's hearts pound wildly!

"It can be concluded that..."

"These plants 'came back to life' in a short time, separating themselves from He Hongyuan's body. His head was wrapped up in a flowerpot by the plants and used as fertilizer, while his body was tied to a wooden frame by the plants, both for climbing and to serve as fertilizer!"

"The killer can manipulate plants and greatly enhance their power!"

The boy spoke slowly.

Everyone was taken aback.

Officer Wang's first question was, "But... only 0.3 seconds! Even with Reality Enhancement, is that even possible?"

Qin Yiguan pondered, "To describe the murderer's ability as controlling plants might be a bit too general... To be precise, it might be controlling the plant's time, causing the plant's growth rate to be on a different timeline, different from our time flow."

Officer Wang frowned and said, "Yiguan, although this is Experimental Zone, aren't your deductions a bit wishful thinking?"

But then Qin Yiguan suddenly squatted down.

He gently touched the ground behind the flowerpots, and his hand was covered with tiny particles of varying shades.

"This is?"

Everyone was curious.

"Seed."

The boy said, "Moreover, these seeds didn't come from elsewhere. They are from these plants that have reproduced for generations and gone through multiple maturation periods, thus scattering these seeds. Our 0.3 seconds is equivalent to their many springs, summers, autumns, and winters. The growth power of plants is immense. Let alone tearing apart a person, it's easy for them to take root in rocks."

Immediately.

Qin Yiguan then looked at He Hongyuan's body, "One of his feet was on the ground, like the root of a plant; the shape of his arms and legs resembled the stems and leaves of a plant. This murderer had a peculiar obsession with plants."

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. "That Perversion Detective is really something."

The boy said, "There's nothing particularly impressive about it. The killer's methods are so illogical that they're extremely remarkable."

The crowd was puzzled again, "What's the use of knowing the killer's abilities?"

"It's completely useless."

Qin Yiguan pondered for a moment, "I need to know who he is."

Immediately.

Qin Yiguan then looked at the documents inside the room.

The old papers are mostly clippings from past newspapers.

"Dr. He Hongyuan is certain of the existence of dark matter!"

He claims he can manipulate dark matter!

"Although various data prove that more than 80% of the matter in the universe is indeed undetectable by humans, and that this matter is very likely the one that drove the singularity explosion and created 'gravity'!"

"However, in the Metaverse era, people are already living peacefully in a virtual Earth."

"Nobody cares what the universe really looks like!"

"Although He Hongyuan is a fervent advocate for 'dark matter application technology,' he is being ignored by the public!"

He claims that he used dark matter technology to repair ' Leviathan '!

"But no one has ever seen a real ' Leviathan '!"

"He Hongyuan is frustrated and unsuccessful, and his mental health is deteriorating!"

Qin Yiguan looked at the information and slowly shook his head. "His story is simple: a genius who discovered something that people couldn't accept, and then he was labeled a madman."

"Perhaps one day, the truth will be revealed."

"People will sigh in admiration, pretend to have forgotten, and once again elevate the already deceased He Hongyuan to new heights."

"Such things have happened frequently throughout history."

"The key words here are 'ignorance' on a large scale and 'prophecy' on a small scale."

"That's human nature."

Immediately, the boy looked at a bookshelf on one side. "Everywhere in this room is a mess, except for that one shelf, which is spotless and the wood is shiny. So, there should be some kind of commonly used switch hidden there, perhaps one that can activate so-called 'dark matter technology'."
