It's really getting busier and more chaotic, almost everyone in the Public Security Bureau is searching for clues about the missing personnel from the Ministry. The Director of the Xuanhu City Public Security Bureau, Xie Jiarui, was furious when he heard the news. At that time, there was no other way, so they were preparing to mobilize the administrative staff in the bureau, so that the criminal detectives could be withdrawn to go to the scene of the case.

  However, the Deputy Director Sun in the department seemed to be particularly concerned about the case of grave robbery. When he heard that Director Xie wanted to mobilize the civil servants, he immediately intercepted: "Not that I'm saying, Director Xie, but there's no need to make such a big fuss. Our comrades are all helping us find people, we should also contribute some effort."

  Sun said, pausing for a moment, looking back at Yang and the others behind him, then turning his head again to face Director Xie: "We are all from a criminal investigation background, and now we really have an itch. If Director Xie trusts us, this time we will substitute for Comrade Xuan Hu's people on site, maybe with good luck, we can find some clues."

  Director Xie smiled and said: "How can that be, the leaders were originally here to supervise the missing case. Wouldn't this add more burden to the leaders?"

  Sun Baozi smiled and was about to speak when Yang Xiao suddenly whispered a few words in his ear. After hearing these words, Sun Baozi's face changed, he turned around and looked at Yang Xiao, saying: "Old Yang, how confident are you this time?"

  Yang Xiao smiled and said: "This can't be said too full, grasp it - about 12 points"

  "That's about it." Sun Pengzi nodded, and when he spoke to Director Xie again, he was no longer so polite: "Old Xie, make arrangements. We need to go to the scene of the grave robbery case now." Seeing that Director Xie still wanted to say something, Sun added two cold words: "Immediately!"

  Ten minutes later, Sun Peng and his team arrived at the scene of the body theft under the leadership of the local police - the morgue in the basement behind the building of Xuanhu City People's Hospital. When they arrived, there were only two female police officers from the local police station on the scene. They stood under a streetlight behind the hospital building, waiting anxiously for the arrival of the municipal bureau personnel. Not far from them, at the entrance to the basement, an old man in his fifties was lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back and white foam starting to dry out in his mouth.

  After seeing the police car coming over, two female police officers rushed over. They trembled and saluted, waiting for the news to let them leave. But unexpectedly, the fat man who got out of the car didn't even look at them and asked, "Where is the person who reported the case? Has anyone entered the scene?"

  This fat guy looks like he's not a local, but seeing the long-haired man following him out of the car, sticking to his side like a leech. The two female police officers didn't dare to slack off either, one of whom was relatively more presentable and said: "The person who reported the case is still in the station, he's been scared silly and can't answer any questions now, I reckon he'll have to be sent to the hospital soon."

  The female police officer paused for a moment, looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground with some trepidation, and then said shakily: "We've been guarding the scene here all along, except for the informant, no one else has entered from here."

  Sun Baozi followed the policewoman's gaze and looked over, taking a glance at the corpse lying on the ground. He then turned to the speaking policewoman and said: "You two have had a hard time, it's so cold outside, and you're still stuck here freezing. Alright, once you've taken us to the morgue, your job is done. You can go home and sleep if you need to."

  When the two female police officers heard the first half of Sun Dawei's words, they relaxed a bit, but after hearing his last two sentences, their hearts sank again. The same female police officer who spoke earlier looked at the basement door with a quiver and said in a timid tone: "There is only one entrance, just go all the way down, this... we don't need to lead the way, do we?"

  "With so many of us, what are you two afraid of?" Behind him, Director Xie walked over, his face stern as he spoke to his two subordinates: "Evil cannot invade righteousness. You are police officers, what do you have to fear? Just follow the leader's orders and do as they say! Lead the way forward!"

  After the boss of the house scolded them, the two female police officers didn't dare to argue anymore. They looked at each other, then turned around shakily and slowly walked towards the basement one step at a time.

  Wang Xiao Ran, one of the five-room investigators who followed Sun Aozi, couldn't help but intervene. He leaned in close to Sun Aozi's ear and whispered: "Sun, why don't we just let them go back? They're just two young girls after all. Who knows what they might see and get scared out of their wits?"

  Sun Baozi turned his head and looked at Wang Xiaoran with a smile that was not quite a smile, saying: "I'm afraid of getting lost, I'll take two people with me to walk, my heart is at ease." Hearing Sun Baozi's intention not to let the two policewomen go, Wang Xiaoran could only acquiesce.

  When the two policewomen were about to reach the basement door, Sun Baozi finally followed with his men. The lights in the basement were on, but these 15-watt bulbs were not much better than nothing. In this environment, combined with the dim light, it felt even more eerie.

  Two female police officers held hands, walking to a position more than 20 meters away from the morgue, and didn't dare to move forward. They hugged each other and started crying. Sun Baozi finally showed some kindness, glanced at Director Xie beside him, and said: "Old Xie, I'm not saying you're wrong, but these two little girls are really scared out of their wits. Can't you see they're suffering? Alright, this time, let's spare them and let them go back to rest early. It's so cold outside, and you've scared them half to death..."

  Director Xie, this tone almost made me choke. I've never seen anyone so shameless! Clearly it was you who said it, telling them to bring us down here?!

  However, this fire, Director Xie also dared to vent in his heart, but still had to put on a smile on his face, and said to the two little girls who were still crying on the ground: "Alright, alright, Deputy Director Sun will plead for you two. Then you two can go back now, and before tonight's matter is settled, don't go around talking nonsense."

  The two policewomen then ran towards the exit of the basement as if they had just received a pardon, without even bothering to salute. It wasn't until their silhouettes completely disappeared that Director Xie suddenly remembered something, slapping his thigh and saying with some regret: "I forgot to ask them for the record of the report."

  "Old Xie, you said it's recorded?" Sun Baozi chuckled a few times and then said: "It wasn't me who said that. Even if you see it, you might not believe it."

  Director Xie didn't understand Sun Baozi's meaning and wanted to ask a few more questions, but Yang Xiao had already opened the door of the morgue. After exchanging a glance with Yang Xiao, he slipped in first, followed by Wang Shaoran and Old Mo. Before entering the morgue, Sun Baozi looked back at Director Xie and said, "Old Xie, you don't need to come in here. Just wait outside for us, it won't take long. We'll just take a look and come out."

  Xie Juzhang suddenly said, "Sun Juzi, give us small-town police a chance to learn." As he spoke, he led two subordinates into the morgue ahead of Sun Juzi. Sun Juzi didn't stop them and smiled as he watched their backs, following them into the morgue last.

  In the years following medical reform, apart from the funeral home, this was the only morgue in all of Xuanhu City. All deceased patients from other hospitals, accidental deaths, and even several unclaimed bodies without identified family members were sent here for storage. As a result, the scale of this morgue was not small, with an inner and outer layer, totaling sixty to seventy storage compartments.

  Outside, in the mortuary, one of the compartments for storing corpses had been pulled out, and the corpse inside was gone. This must be where the stolen body was taken from.

  He and Xie Juzhang were not quite the same, after Sun Juzhang and others came in, they did not take photos, collect fingerprints, footprints and other basic procedures for viewing the scene. Except for the one surnamed Yang who was wandering around in the morgue, there was only a young man named Wang Xiaoran, who took out a delicate long box from his own backpack, took out a long incense stick from it, lit it, and actually placed it upright on the ground in the middle of the morgue.

  Xie Juzhang never thought that the incense in the temple could still stand upright, he was very curious and took a few more glances before saying to Sun Baozi: "Sun Ju, I didn't expect that your department's style is still quite superstitious. Don't look at our Xuanhu city as just a small place, nowadays we don't believe in this kind of thing anymore."

  Sun Baozi looked at Director Xie with a slanted gaze and said, "Old Xie, is this what you call respecting the dead? What's feudal superstition and what's respecting the dead, can't you tell them apart?" As soon as Sun Baozi finished speaking, he saw that the incense sticks that were originally standing upright on the ground suddenly burst open at the head, and then fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

  Xie Juzhang was caught off guard and, being in the morgue, had been on edge. Suddenly seeing Xiang Tou burst open, he let out a startled yelp. Just as Xie Juzhang was about to ask questions, Old Mo, who had not spoken much until now, suddenly walked up to him and pushed Xie Juzhang and several others towards the morgue door.

  At this time, Yang Xiao also walked out of the morgue. After glancing at the long fragrance that had already been broken into several pieces, he smiled and said: "It's okay, earlier there was a bit too much yang energy here, which wasn't good for the deceased, so I brought up some yin energy to balance it out."

  Sun Baozi didn't care about yin and yang balance, he looked at Yang Xiao with a seemingly smiling expression and said: "Old Yang, where are they?"

  "They're all here, all eight people from the second room are inside, not one less," said Yang Dian as he walked to a mortuary drawer and pulled out the body inside. Sun Baozi and the others looked closely, and it was indeed Xiong Wanyi from the list of missing persons from the second room. He lay in the mortuary drawer with his eyes tightly shut, his body covered in frost.

  Then, Yang Xiao pulled out seven more body drawers from different parts of the morgue, and without exception, they were all the missing people from the second room. Although they were in the body drawers, these people did not have any life-threatening injuries, but had only temporarily lost consciousness. After witnessing this scene, Xie Juchang stared at Sun Baozai with wide eyes and said: "Sun Baozai, what... is going on here?"
