I am a coroner, and I have some knowledge of martial arts!

Whether or not he is an irreconcilable enemy of evil is another matter, but Zhao Fei found Su Wuchen's current excited state quite strange.

When the two arrived at the government office, Su Wuchen noticed many unfamiliar faces.

It's obvious without even thinking that these people are the so-called inspectors.

The Inspection Division is responsible for a wide range of functions, including arresting criminals, dealing with smuggling, and cracking down on the black market.

They are a unique team within the Martial Arts Alliance, obeying the Martial Arts Alliance's Action Department. Each squad within the Inspection Division is highly capable.

What is the job of a qualified coroner once you enter the yamen (government office)?

Of course, we're going to loot the corpse...

Oh no.

They went to check on the body!

"What are you doing at the morgue?"

Seeing Su Wuchen head straight for the morgue after entering the government office, Zhao Fei asked with a puzzled look, "Are you going to check the wounds on those cultivators?"

"What else?"

"No need to look anymore, those bodies have already been recorded and thrown into the crematorium."

"..."

Zhao Fei's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Su Wuchen, leaving him feeling utterly chilled.

So many corpses, all sent to the crematorium?

What a waste!

Couldn't you let me touch it first before sending it over?

"Why didn't you say so sooner!"

"You didn't ask."

"..."

Su Wuchen rolled his eyes and turned to leave, but Zhao Fei stopped him.

"What's wrong?"

"Go and see Lord Shangguan."

Zhao Fei said softly, "The head constable highly recommended you to Lord Shangguan."

Su Wuchen: "The corpses are all gone, what's the point of me looking at them?"

Zhao Fei: "We should at least see him, right? Besides, the body that was brought in this morning was very strange. If you don't go, who will do the autopsy?"

"There are still corpses?"

"Of course..."

Zhao Fei nodded matter-of-factly, but looking at Su Wuchen's expression, he felt a little uneasy. "Dude, tell me the truth, do you have some kind of peculiar hobby about corpses?"

"I love you, Mom."

"Thank you, I have no idea where my mother is."

"..."

Upon arriving at the backyard, Chief Constable Wang Chen and a young man were speaking quietly to each other.

The man had a decent appearance, but his face was pale, unlike his normal skin color.

Upon seeing Su Wuchen and his companion, Wang Chen nodded with a smile, "Lord Shangguan, this is the coroner Su Wuchen I mentioned to you."

"Su Wuchen".

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

"Let's take a look at this body first."

Shangguan Yun raised his hand and pointed to the corpse on the mortuary, indicating that Su Wuchen should examine it.

Su Wuchen nodded in understanding, walked to the corpse, and lifted the white cloth covering it.

The deceased was a man, and there was still a trace of fear on his face.

On its upper body, there were many strange claw marks. The claw marks were not deep, only an inch deep, breaking through the skin and flesh. In addition to these claw marks, there was also a very obvious bloody gash at its dantian.

About the size of a fist, it pierced straight through the man's abdomen, and...

Su Wuchen made a bizarre discovery: the corpse's organs were missing!

"What did you figure out?"

"Your Excellency, this person has been dead for more than twelve hours. He was attacked by an animal before his death, as can be seen from the claw marks on his body. However, the real fatal wound is not these claw marks, nor is it the wound in his abdomen."

"What is that?"

Zhao Fei peeked out.

Su Wuchen: "Organs."

"Organs?"

"Indeed, when I examined this corpse earlier, I found it strange. Since he was a cultivator, the wound in his abdomen might have rendered him unable to fight, but it shouldn't have caused his immediate death."

Su Wuchen said in a deep voice, "But when I examined his chest cavity, I found something wrong with it. It didn't look like a normal death, or a normal occurrence from an abdominal wound."

"It is likely that someone removed his organs through the abdominal wound; that is the real cause of his death."

"However, this is just my deduction. If we want to find out more, we need to perform an autopsy on him and cut him open."

Wang Chen looked at Shangguan Yun with a smile, and Shangguan Yun looked appreciative. "Let's do an autopsy."

"it is good."

Su Wuchen took out his toolbox and began to put on his gear.

After a while.

A small knife precisely cut open the victim's chest cavity, only to find it completely empty!

Heart, liver, intestines...

There's nothing there!

Holy crap!

Zhao Fei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "How come everything is gone?"

"how?"

Shangguan Yun looked over.

Su Wuchen frowned. "This is strange."

"I've never seen anyone die like this before. Could it be the work of some evil cultivator?"

As he spoke, Su Wuchen looked at Wang Chen and said, "Officer Wang, I remember that evil cultivator we arrested before, he seemed to like dismembering people?"

Wang Chen nodded: "That heretical cultivator is indeed like that."

Shangguan Yun: "Then what kind of heretical cultivator do you think this is?"

This……

Su Wuchen frowned, put down the knife in his hand, put on his goggles, and carefully examined the deceased's chest cavity.

Upon seeing some slight signs of nibbling, I couldn't help but widen my eyes, look at it again in disbelief, and then cut it off.

"Wow, did this person get eaten by insects?"

Su Wuchen muttered to himself, but then felt something was wrong. He looked down at the claw marks on the deceased's body.

"Judging from his external injuries, it must have been a large animal, like an orange cat, that burrowed into his body through the wounds and gnawed at his organs..."

"Heretical cultivation!"

"This guy is definitely a heretical cultivator, and a heretical cultivator who's raising two demonic creatures!"

Are you sure?

"Sure!"

Su Wuchen nodded emphatically, "The murderer raised at least two demonic creatures. One of them must have been extremely fast, attracting the victim's attention. The evil cultivator was the main killer!"

"After the deceased lost his fighting ability, another demonic creature of the evil cultivator burrowed into the deceased's abdominal wound and began to devour his organs!"

clap clap!

Shangguan Yun clapped his hands and laughed, "As expected of someone recommended by Constable Wang, you certainly have a good eye!"

Su Wuchen raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that, sir?"

Officer Wang laughed and said, "This man must have died at the hands of a Gu cultivator."

"Gu cultivator?"

Su Wuchen looked astonished.

Zhao Fei: "What is a Gu cultivator?"

Wang Chen: "Thirty thousand years ago, there was a cultivator who used Gu worms as a foundation to practice witchcraft and Gu techniques, controlling the Gu worms for his own use."

"He once used Gu worms to steal the minds and bodies of many powerful people, forcing them to obey his orders."

"Fortunately, someone noticed something was wrong and joined forces with powerful figures from various sects to besiege and kill him. However, the major sects also suffered heavy losses."

"But there are rumors that he didn't die; only one of his clones died."

Gurgle.

Zhao Fei swallowed hard. "Boss, are you talking about that Gu Master?"

Wang Chen nodded. "That's the person."

Zhao Fei instantly bristled: "Holy crap, how could such a terrifying being appear in our Jiangcheng?"

Snapped!

Wang Chen slapped Zhao Fei on the head in a fit of anger, making him a little dizzy.

"Nonsense, Master Gu is long dead. What remains are just remnants of the Gu cultivation lineage. If Master Gu were alive, would the major sects have spared him?"

Zhao Fei scratched his head, chuckled awkwardly, and remained silent.

Su Wuchen: "So, the murderer must be a remnant of the Gu cultivators, or perhaps a disciple or grand-disciple of this Gu Master?"

"That's all there is to it."

Wang Chen nodded, "It's also possible that he obtained this kind of cultivation method by chance, which is why he started practicing this path."

Su Wuchen frowned and remained silent, sensing that something was amiss.

Isn't he afraid of being targeted by the authorities and being besieged by the inspectors for practicing evil magic so openly?

Shangguan Yun: "From today onwards, you will follow me."

Su Wuchen paused for a moment, looked at Shangguan Yun, then pointed to himself, "Me?"

Shangguan Yun nodded. "Yes."

Su Wuchen immediately refused: "I'm not going."

Shangguan Yun frowned, looking displeased. Wang Chen quickly said, "Lord Shangguan, let me talk to him."

As he spoke, Wang Chen pulled Su Wuchen aside and lowered his voice, "Are you crazy?"

Su Wuchen pouted: "I'm just a coroner, a coroner! You want me to get involved in such dangerous things? Do you want me to die?"

Wang Chen scoffed, "Following Lord Shangguan, you'd be lucky to die!"

Seeing Su Wuchen's disbelief, Wang Chen whispered, "Do you know that Lord Shangguan is a seventh-rank martial artist, whose strength is second only to our city lord?"

"By following Lord Shangguan, you might receive his guidance, which will certainly not be a disaster for you!"

Su Wuchen shook his head again, "No, no, he's a seventh-grade martial artist. Even if he can kill the evil cultivator, can he protect me?"

"I'm just a weakling. If I really run into some evil cultivator and get used as bait, wouldn't I be in big trouble?"

Wang Chen: "..."
