Chapter 09

Five corpses, the secret room was locked, and the cause of death was unknown. Song Ci'an, the forensic consultant of the provincial department, faced the most bizarre crime scene in his life: the deceased's posture was peaceful, but the chest and abdomen were empty - the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys, all the five internal organs were missing. There are only five cross-shaped incisions on the body surface, and the edges are curled inward, as if growing from the inside of the body. Criminal investigation captain Chen Zeming looked through old files and found that this was not the first case like this. The case of Yin Qingfeng in 1993, the unknown male corpse in Tainan in 1995, and the murder case of Peng Wanru in 1996 - the same line of deleted notes appeared in the autopsy reports of these unsolved cases. Lu Yan, a researcher at Laboratory 09, appeared with a top-secret file. File number: 34. This means that the same case has occurred thirty-three times before. Five of these times, the five internal organs disappeared. As the investigation deepened, Song Ci'an discovered that this was not a serial murder case. The five internal organs correspond to the five elements, and the five corpses correspond to the five directions - someone is using the body of a living person to refine a "elixir". When the identity of the sixth flavor "Yao Yin" surfaced, Song Ci'an had to answer a question: Is she facing a murderer or a transforming "fairy"?
