The Genius Female Forensic Pathologist, The Psychological Anatomist-Chapter 215

Upon entering the villa, Fang Rui and the others were greeted by a lavishly decorated laboratory, strikingly similar to the one they had seen at the pharmaceutical company. Inside, a few young staff members were handling reagents. When they noticed the intrusion, they paused their work and turned their gazes toward Fang Rui and his team.

The young man who had opened the door spoke up, "See? There's no fire here. You need to leave! You're trespassing on private property!"

Fang Rui cut him off, "Has this laboratory been officially registered?"

"I... I don't know. I just started working here," the young man stammered.

Fang Rui turned to the others, "Who's in charge here?"

The staff members exchanged uneasy glances and shook their heads. "We're all new here, just started a few days ago. The person in charge isn't here—he stepped out."

"Who is the person in charge?"

"We don't know."

Wang couldn't contain his frustration, "You don't know anything, yet you took the job? Aren't you worried about being scammed?"

"We just graduated with master's degrees and couldn't find good jobs. Then, suddenly, this high-paying position with great benefits came along, so we applied. At first, we thought the location was odd, but the work seemed normal, so we didn't think too much about it."

"..."

The room was also equipped with numerous cameras, their lenses like cold, unblinking eyes, watching their every move.

Wang speculated, "Jiang Yinian must have known we were coming to investigate. He probably hired a bunch of students to work here as a cover. It's likely all the evidence has already been moved. He might even be planning to flee!"

Fang Rui said, "I've already sent two people to keep an eye on him. Call in a few more to join them. Once we find evidence here, we'll arrest him immediately." A sense of foreboding washed over Fang Rui. Would everything really go as smoothly as they hoped?

"Got it. I'll make the call now," Wang said, pulling out his phone. However, he found there was no signal. "Boss, the signal here is weak. I'll step outside to make the call."

Fang Rui and his team thoroughly searched the first floor of the laboratory. Just like before, they found nothing suspicious.

The second floor served as both living quarters and office space. In one of the offices, they discovered stacks of experimental reports.

One of the reports detailed research on children with Down syndrome. Mu Mian carefully examined its contents. Jiang Yinian and his team had attempted gene editing on fetuses diagnosed with Down syndrome, and Li Yan's child had been one of their subjects.

Gene editing on humans violated ethical guidelines and was strictly prohibited.

The cabinet also contained numerous reports documenting Jiang Yinian's illegal experiments, such as mind control through wearable devices, emotional deprivation experiments, human-animal hybrid gene experiments, and emotional inhibitors.

Mu Mian also found meeting notes detailing ongoing experiments, including one called the "Genius Brain Project," which aimed to select students with low cognitive abilities and enhance their intelligence through drugs.

After a thorough search, Fang Rui and his team discovered that the villa had a basement. The entrance was hidden in a corner of the garden, secured with a locked door that required a passcode to open.

Fang Rui had brought along a professional locksmith. After inspecting the electronic lock, the technician sighed, "This lock is connected to a self-destruct mechanism. I suspect there are explosives beneath the house. If we force our way in, it could trigger an explosion. We only have three attempts to enter the correct passcode. If we fail, the lock will permanently seal."

"How many digits is the passcode?" Mu Mian asked, noticing the keypad had both numbers and letters. It was likely a combination of both.

"Probably five digits. It's unusual—most people wouldn't set such a short passcode."

Fang Rui theorized, "The passcode is probably something of great importance to Jiang Yinian. Mu Mian, what do you think it could be?"

Mu Mian pondered for a moment, "The most important things to Yinian would be his research and his sister. Her English name is Sally, which is exactly five letters."

Mu Mian entered the five letters, but the smart lock emitted a harsh error tone.

She ran through everything Jiang Yinian might consider important but couldn't find anything that fit the criteria.

Wang suggested, "Could it be a pinyin abbreviation? Though it doesn't seem to match the length."

"Mu Mian, is there anything that connects both his research and your sister?" Fang Rui prompted.

Suddenly, Mu Mian thought of her father's company. She entered five letters: SHEIN.

The lock clicked open.

Mu Mian explained, "My father's pharmaceutical company is called SHEIN, which translates to 'Xiyin.'"

A wide staircase led down to the basement. It was pitch dark, like a vast abyss ready to swallow everything whole.

Fang Rui shone his flashlight inside. The beam of light revealed a small child's body, preserved in formaldehyde.

As the light swept across the room, they saw various human specimens, a horrifying sight.

"Where did these bodies come from? Did Jiang Yinian kill all these people?" Wang whispered, his voice trembling.

No one could answer with certainty.

The young staff members were terrified. They had taken the job for the high salary, never imagining the villa concealed such gruesome secrets.

One of them stammered, "We just started working here! We didn't do anything!"

Instead, they called for technicians to check for flammable or explosive materials and to test the air for toxic gases.

At that moment, Wang rushed in, holding his phone. "Boss, it's bad news! Jiang Yinian has slipped away! He hired foreign bodyguards who attacked our surveillance team."

Fang Rui immediately called the chief to report the situation.

The chief coordinated with multiple departments to launch a joint operation to apprehend Jiang Yinian. Key transportation routes in Jiangzhou City were blocked, and teams were dispatched to monitor airports, high-speed rail stations, train stations, and highway checkpoints.

As they left Jiang Yinian's villa, Mu Mian couldn't shake a growing sense of unease.

She said, "If Yinian knew we were coming to search the villa, why didn't he move the lab or at least take the documents with him? It's like he's given up trying to cover his tracks."

Fang Rui shared her doubts. He had always felt as though someone was guiding their investigation into Jiangmiao Group and the Neuro Rose. If such a person existed, who could it be? Could they have influenced Jiang Yinian's decisions?

"Mu Mian, how was your sister's relationship with Jiang Yinian?"

"They used to be close, but after our father died, she grew to despise him."

"And how did Jiang Yinian feel about your sister?"

Mu Mian frowned, "He said he loved her. But I don't know what kind of love he meant. The definition of love is too broad... Fang Rui, I should call my sister."

"Go ahead."

Mu Mian dialed Shen Xiyin's number, but the call didn't go through.

"Fang Rui, I can't reach her!"

"Don't panic. Do you have her friends' numbers? Try calling them."

"No, I don't. Fang Rui, I've been so neglectful. I don't even have her friends' contacts."

Fang Rui reassured her, "Mu Mian, don't be afraid. Let's go to her clinic and look for her."

When they arrived at the clinic, the receptionist told Mu Mian, "Mu Mian, your sister received a call and ran out. Did something happen? I tried calling her, but her phone is off."

Fang Rui asked, "How long ago did she leave?"

"About two hours ago."

"Fang Rui, do you think my sister is dead?" Mu Mian's mind was spinning, overwhelmed with fear. "Chen Xue is dead. If my sister dies too, what will we do?"

"Mu Mian, we need to stay calm. It's possible Jiang Yinian has kidnapped her. If he loves her, he won't harm her. We're already searching the entire city for him. We'll find him soon."

The search operation was not going smoothly. Traffic surveillance cameras had initially captured Jiang Yinian's car, but upon investigation, it turned out the car was being driven by a designated driver. They then began analyzing surveillance footage from different areas, trying to trace Jiang Yinian's whereabouts.

Lin Sen also realized that something had happened to Shen Xiyin, and he immediately rushed to the clinic.

When he saw Mu Mian's tear-stained eyes, he was certain that Shen Xiyin had likely been kidnapped by Jiang Yinian.

Mu Mian choked back her sobs and said, "I need to stay calm. My sister must have left us some clues."

They went to Shen Xiyin's office, where her desk was neatly organized, with no letters or notes left behind. The floor was also spotless, without a single scrap of paper.

Lin Sen noticed a painting on the floor and picked it up to examine it. The painting depicted a bright and vivid scene of the ocean and a sandy beach, the kind of artwork commonly used as decoration in therapy rooms.

Mu Mian said, "Is my sister trying to tell us she went somewhere by the sea?"
