Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

Inside the office.

When Director Li heard that familiar voice and those familiar lines, his temples throbbed, and he almost dropped his pen.

His face instantly turned extremely ugly, and he cursed inwardly: Why is it Xiao Wang again?

Is this kid born in the Year of the Crow?

Or is there some kind of "special constitution" that causes problems wherever he goes?

He grabbed a hat from the table, put it on his head, and rushed out of the office. Seven or eight police officers looked at each other in bewilderment and quickly followed.

The group almost jogged to the morgue.

"Xiao Wang, what serious incident has occurred?"

Upon seeing the people arrive, Xiao Wang immediately responded, "Chief Li, something terrible has happened! Jia Dongxu! Bang Geng! And Xiao Dang! Their bodies... are all gone!!!"

"What?"

Although Director Li had a premonition, he was still shocked when he heard the details. He stepped forward and personally checked the three empty spots, where white cloths were casually thrown aside.

Another corpse theft?

Moreover, this time it went even further. Last time they only cut off the fingers of Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng, but this time they took all three corpses.

Lao Yi, are you guys not going to act anymore?

I don't know where the exorcism ritual is going.

Did they find they didn't have enough "materials," so they risked coming back to steal them?

Thinking of this.

It makes perfect sense that Director Li stole the bodies of the Jia family of three, based on some clues left by Yi Zhonghai and his associates.

However... although most of the elite officers at the police station have been taken away by Qin Ming to pursue the criminals, there are still quite a few people left behind.

There were guards at both the front and back gates, and he himself was in charge!

How did they manage to sneak into the morgue and remove three corpses without warning?

And there's not a single sound?

Although the morgue was simple, it wasn't a place anyone could just come and go as they pleased, especially with three corpses in tow.

Chief Li frowned, his gaze sweeping over the inside and outside of the morgue, lingering on a few police officers for two seconds. Could it be that someone was there to meet him?

Which one is it among the crowd?

Forget it, as long as they're on our side, it's fine.

Regardless, if it was Yi Zhonghai and his group who did it, then I... have to find a way to cover for them.

At least until Qin Ming returns, we must not escalate the situation or expose them. We must let them continue with the exorcism.

Only when that "thing" is gone can everyone be truly safe.

In a flash, Director Li had already made up his mind.

He turned around, his face showing a calm expression that said, "Although the situation is serious, it is still under control," and patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder.

"Alright! Xiao Wang, I understand the situation. Don't panic. I'll have someone investigate this matter immediately."

He paused, looking at Xiao Wang's still pale face and dark circles under his eyes, then changed the subject, his tone becoming kind and appreciative:

"Xiao Wang, you were the first to spot the anomaly this time. You were very perceptive. That's great. You must be exhausted after working so hard for so long."

I'll handle the rest. As agreed, you can go home and get some rest now.

"Get some sleep, recharge, and I'll come to work again at 3:30 this afternoon..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang was overjoyed.

"Really? Chief Li? Thank you, Chief! Thank you, Chief!"

Xiao Wang was so excited that he thanked him repeatedly, feeling much less tired. "Then... I'll be going now, you go ahead with your work."

Watching Xiao Wang excitedly leave the morgue, the others were genuinely envious.

Director Li stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

This Xiao Wang... is a bit strange!

This can no longer be explained by a simple "coincidence".

Wherever I go, something goes wrong.

He's practically a living devil.

Right now, Lao Yi and his group are likely performing a crucial "exorcism" ritual in some secluded place, and they absolutely must not be disturbed.

We dare not let Xiao Wang go out to participate in operations or patrols and wander around outside. What if his "strange" constitution leads him to Lao Yi and the others and discovers something? Then everything would be over.

All our efforts were in vain!

It was the right thing to let him go home and rest after get off work.

Only after Xiao Wang's figure disappeared did Director Li suddenly realize that Xiao Wang had just gone out.

He suddenly realized something, and his expression changed slightly.

I let him "go home after get off work," but I didn't require him to go home. The kid looked so happy just now, he might go for a stroll or have breakfast somewhere.

I should have been more careful and made it clear that he should "rest in the office's break room".

Great!

A sense of unease welled up inside me.

Director Li immediately turned around and quickly chased after Xiao Wang in the direction he had left, wanting to call him back and make new arrangements.

However, when he chased after him out of the police station and onto the somewhat deserted streets in the early morning, he looked around but could not find Xiao Wang anywhere.

Director Li chased after them for several dozen meters, his brow furrowed, and finally could only sigh helplessly, muttering a word of self-consolation:

"Never mind... I must be overthinking it. Beijing is such a big city, how could there be such a coincidence?"

After all, he hadn't slept for almost two days, so he probably just went home to sleep. The place Lao Yi and the others found must be secluded enough...

Director Li forced himself to suppress his unease, turned around and walked back to the police station. Now, he had more important things to deal with.

How to cover up the disappearance of the bodies in the morgue, and how to continue the "exorcism" for Yi Zhonghai and his team in secret, to buy time and space.

Old Yi, you'd better hurry up and get rid of that "evil spirit" as soon as possible.

Otherwise... this hole will become increasingly difficult to mend.

At that moment, Xiao Wang disappeared around the street corner.

Instead of going straight home and sleeping as Director Li had hoped, he rubbed his rumbling stomach and a smile appeared on his face.

He thought of Xiao Zhao, the policewoman who was still on duty at Hongxing Hospital watching over Qin Huairu; he liked her.

She didn't know he liked her.

Her best friend knows he likes her.

She didn't know that her best friend liked him.

They must have been working a full-night shift and must be exhausted and hungry.

"Perfect timing, I'll buy some breakfast and deliver it to them, it's a way of...caring for my colleagues."

Xiao Wang felt a sense of satisfaction, and even the fatigue from solving the case and the fright of the night seemed to dissipate.

I bought some steamed buns and soy milk.

Carrying it, she walked briskly towards the direction of Red Star Hospital.

I was thinking to myself: Does Xiao Zhao like sweet or savory soy milk?

I think I heard her best friend mention that she likes sweet things...

I wonder if she'll find plain steamed buns disgusting?

However, it shouldn't be a problem for colleagues to look after each other, right?

The first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, illuminating his young face, which was filled with anticipation.

He wasn't the only one with expectations; Lin Tian and Tangtang felt the same way.

Inside the small wooden cabin.

On the bed, little Tangtang had already woken up, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she sat up.

She was wearing a cotton pajama with a small floral print that Lin Tian had found in the supplies. Her hair was a little messy, and her little face was rosy from sleeping, like a kitten that had just woken up.

"Brother..."
