"Definitely. Lao Zhang isn't the type to rush into things unprepared. He even had backup plans ready; he'd calculated everything in advance," Dong Guoning agreed.

Hearing their words, Lin Siqi, who stood beside them, said nothing, but the tight grip on her skirt revealed that her heart was anything but calm at this moment. After all, no matter how much they had theorized before, it was all just theory! When applying these theories to reality, no one could be sure if actual events would unfold as they had theorized. Nobody was certain whether Zhang Beixing would emerge unscathed from this incident. They had anticipated it—public opinion was about to explode!

"Let's hope everything goes smoothly!" Nearby, Sophia Zhou clenched her fists, voicing Lin Siqi's thoughts.

Chen Rourou, although not involved in the discussion, had now taken out her cellphone and stepped aside to discuss the incident with her dad, Chen Fenghua, and Elder Chen, inquiring about how they should handle the situation.

Meanwhile, at 466 Harvest Road, Fuqiang Village, Talltree District, Zhang Beixing's family looked astonished. On their phones, they saw that Zhang Beixing had not only brutally killed the boxer, Chris, in the ring but had also gunned down the Black Ghost who intended retaliation.

Grandmaster Zhang was dumbfounded. "Beixing... when did he get so powerful? Just a few moves, and he killed both those Black Ghosts?"

"I remember this kid used to be too scared to even kill a chicken. Now, facing these Black Ghosts, he kills just like that?" Zhang's father chimed in, finding it utterly preposterous. Was this still his son? He couldn't help but recall how timid Beixing had been when asked to kill a chicken not too long ago. Compared to the ruthless and decisive way he acted now, Zhang's father found it surreal, as if his son had become a completely different person.

But soon after, he began to worry. "This damn kid! Why is he so heavy-handed? Killing one in a match is one thing, but he killed two... This is a huge mess." Zhang's father took a deep puff of his cigarette, his face filled with worry.

Zhang's mother paced back and forth in the house, extremely anxious. In just a short while, her mouth had developed sores from the stress. "What are we going to do? Beixing will surely go to prison for killing someone! We told the kid not to fight, not to fight, but he just wouldn't listen! Ugh! Really!"

On the other side, at Shishi Police Station, in the forensic department.

TAP TAP TAP—

Urgent footsteps approached from outside the door. Li Shuo pushed the door open and entered, looking at Forensic Doctor Xing and asking, "Forensic Doctor Xing, what are the autopsy results?"

The "autopsy results" naturally referred to the two Black Ghosts. Although a hearse from the mortuary had arrived with coffins, that was merely Zhang Beixing's way of humiliating them. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to send them for cremation without permission.

Hearing Li Shuo's words, Forensic Doctor Xing put down his scalpel, his brow furrowed, a baffled expression on his face. "The autopsy results... are very strange. Xiao Li, how did he die? How could the wounds be so bizarre?"

Bizarre? Upon hearing Forensic Doctor Xing's comment, Li Shuo was taken aback. He pondered for a moment, then said, "He was killed by Bare Hands. What's the issue?"

"Because the deceased's injuries are truly bizarre. Look here—this was clearly made by a fist. Only the skin and bone were damaged; nothing else. But then look here, here, and here. See these fatal wounds? They're extreme, as if cut by a knife. How could bare hands do this? And here, the internal organs are pulverized. It's more like it was caused by a sudden burst of force—like... torture!"

"Exactly! This is just like torture!" Forensic Doctor Xing remarked. He hadn't watched the live stream, so he didn't know the truth of what happened. This left him utterly perplexed, unable to comprehend how the killer could have unleashed such immense power in an instant to cause such extreme injuries.

Li Shuo, too, was quite astonished after hearing his words. He murmured the word "torture" that Forensic Doctor Xing had mentioned, his expression extremely odd, and muttered, "So, Zhang Beixing actually had the strength to kill the Black Ghost instantly but didn't. He deliberately dragged it out to make it look like an accidental killing? That kid..."

"What did you say?" Forensic Doctor Xing asked, indicating that he hadn't heard Li Shuo clearly.

Li Shuo shook his head. "Nothing, just thinking about some things. By the way, Forensic Doctor Xing, what about the other body? Any findings there?"

Forensic Doctor Xing replied, "Nothing significant. His throat was cut with a sharp weapon; he simply bled to death. The only slightly unusual point is that the cross-section of the wound is exceptionally clean. Speaking of which, how are you planning to handle this? One was tortured to death, the other had his throat slit. That has to lead to a conviction, right?"

To this, Li Shuo just shrugged, saying nothing more.

That Zhang Beixing is a cunning brat. He didn't leave a shred of evidence. The forensic report proves nothing, and since the ring match was broadcast live from start to finish, there's no fault to find. By that logic, it could actually be ruled an accidental death during the match. Not a criminal case, so he wouldn't bear legal responsibility, because the event itself complied with all regulations. But as for the actual final outcome, he had no idea. Because public opinion was also a factor here.

Elsewhere in the police station, Zhang Beixing had been taken to an interrogation room after being brought in. His cell phone was gone, and his wallet had also been handed over.
