Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 550 - 271: Waxwork Master Song Yusheng

Chapter 550: Chapter 271: Waxwork Master Song Yusheng
Only a few people remained in the office, still discussing.
"Luo Fei, we can’t make hasty conclusions about whether there’s something strange about that wax museum, but we can use the car crash scene to open an investigation. If there’s solid evidence of wrongdoing, we can take action."
"Understood."
"On this trip, the four of you team leaders will go together."
Zhao Donglai recalled the scene he saw last night in the autopsy room, still feeling a lingering unease.
Although he didn’t understand why things turned out that way, it was clear that whoever was responsible must be ruthless and inhumane.
To turn a living person into what was seen at the scene proved as much.
That’s why only by having his four capable team members go together could he feel some reassurance.
If Zhang Wei and the others went, there might be trouble.
After all, no one knew if those vicious people might attack the police.
"Understood!"
The next day, the four of them set off together, arriving at the wax museum as soon as possible.
They were not conducting an open investigation today, but rather a preliminary reconnaissance.
Unlike yesterday’s visit, today they were purely looking for clues, carefully inspecting the museum according to Luo Fei’s guidance.
If there was no evidence, it was one thing, but if there really was something wrong, they would have to close the museum today.
"There are still a lot of people here as always."
Luo Fei looked at the bustling visitors inside and shook his head helplessly.
Li Jun, standing beside him, reminded him to look carefully.
"Not everyone is here purely to appreciate the art; some are just thrill-seekers, attracted by the rumors after yesterday’s car crash scene made people suspect something mysterious about the wax figures."
"I see."
Luo Fei thought the situation hadn’t escalated too much, as he had arranged for people to block the public’s view from taking photos. However, various rumors still spread.
Walking among the crowd, he could hear the visitors’ whispers, realizing how frightening rumors could be.
"Yesterday, someone saw a wax figure being hit and flown off on Changyan Road, saying it ran out from here."
"Yeah, I heard the truck driver was possessed, tsk tsk tsk, it’s too scary."
"The police blocked the scene and even took the wax figures away. It must be a supernatural event; they can’t let the public find out."
"You know nothing; it’s to create a news blackout. Those wax figures have become spirits. There must be something to this museum."
Luo Fei and his team were speechless.
The public’s instincts seemed even sharper than those of the police, which seemed to make them more suited for investigation work.
"Let’s split up for now and see if there’s anything unusual. If there are no clues, meet up in the restroom."
"Okay."
Under Liao Xingyu’s suggestion, the group dispersed.
Luo Fei walked among the wax figures, amazed by their lifelike layers of skin and the hair sewn and integrated on their bodies, admiring the exquisite craftsmanship.
The principle was the same; these ordinary figures were made similarly to the wax figure created yesterday with a human base.
The only difference was in the choice of materials!
Ordinary wax figures start with metal and clay as a base, using photos as molds, then making an outer plaster, and finally filling with soft wax to solidify the shape.
The process for human-cast wax figures, as the forensic doctor described, involves removing organs, cleansing flesh and blood, polishing sharp angles to prevent the soft wax from not solidifying, and removing any skin oil residue.
Both could ultimately be so realistic they seemed real, but fake is still fake.
The smell of a deceased body could still be detected by him.
No matter how much formalin was used to clean it, how thoroughly it was purified, it could not escape his eyes.
Everything so far appeared normal, with nothing out of the ordinary.
Suddenly, Luo Fei noticed a gallery ahead.
Realistic Wax Figures!
Regardless of what problems might be inside, he knew he had to take a look; his instinct told him he would gain something here, so Luo Fei went in ahead.
There were even more people here than outside, as the large hall outside featured artworks with artistic touches.
This gallery, with its everyday life scenarios, depicted ordinary people more realistically compared to the anime and celebrity figures outside, bringing a closer connection to actual life.
Many people felt a sense of surrealism.
It was clearly within arm’s reach, yet it was lifetimes apart, one living being and one dead object.
Touching these artworks was undoubtedly a special experience.
Suddenly, Luo Fei noticed a wax figure on the central platform, dressed in a suit, bending over with a welcoming gesture and a smiling face, appearing even more realistic.
Approaching, he discovered it was a wax figure of the museum director!
Custom-made for himself! This director certainly had some ideas of his own.
"Oh wow, this is too real."
As he studied the figure’s appearance, it felt almost like they were facing each other.
Suddenly, Luo Fei caught a peculiar scent, arriving abruptly yet clearly.
Indeed, it was around the wax figure!
To be precise, it was surrounding the director’s figure.
This familiar scent was the same from yesterday, the mysterious scent of the human-based wax figure, mingled with a uniquely human smell, not merely the scent of wax.
