Leisurely days always pass in the blink of an eye. Just the day before, Li Ku was marveling at how leisurely he had been lately, feeling he could take a few days off to go out and spend time with his girlfriend.

As a result, I received a report about it today.

The report was filed by the director of a hospital, who said that the hospital's nurses had recently been reporting strange behavior at night.

The dean couldn't quite explain what was strange on the phone, only insisting that they go and take a look.

Li Ku sighed repeatedly, "Why are there always these cases involving demons and monsters? We're police officers, not Taoist priests!"

Qin Qingzhou didn't react much: "What if it isn't?"

"It's hard to believe, isn't it? All our recent cases are about demons and monsters, and I'm terrified of ghosts!" Li Ku felt a chill run down his spine and rubbed his arms.

"Tell me about the way that dean called the police. He was so stammering. It must be something supernatural."

Qin Qingzhou also found it difficult not to think in the negative direction.

He thought for a moment: "So what do you think happened?"

Li Ku got excited as soon as he started talking, gesturing wildly: "What else could happen in a hospital? It's just a zombie coming back to life, a body disappearing into thin air, a body suddenly moving, hearing a woman crying in the middle of the night, footsteps in the corridor, the call bell suddenly ringing but no one answers... I can't take it anymore, Captain Qin, can I not go?"

Li Ku had scared himself so much that he suddenly wanted to back out.

What do you think?

"I don't think so." Li Kuqian chuckled twice, resigning himself to his fate.

The key point is that he wasn't wrong; his wild guesses actually came true.

When they arrived at the hospital, they met the nurses and the hospital director.

The dean saw them as if they were his saviors, and then he poured out everything in one go.

On the contrary, the nurses didn't quite believe them and whispered among themselves.

"Aren't they police officers? Can the police handle this kind of thing?"

"Isn't the most important thing whether or not someone believes it?"

"If even the police can't solve it, then that really means it's this kind of thing."

"Then I'll have to resign..."

Fearing the police wouldn't believe him, the hospital director specifically called over a nurse and asked her to show them the surveillance footage.

The two of them leaned over to look. Qin Qingzhou wasn't very scared and stared intently at the monitor, while Li Ku was terrified and covered his eyes, watching with his eyes half-closed.

In the surveillance footage, the sign for the morgue glowed faintly.

Upon seeing that it was a morgue, Li Ku felt as if he could stop breathing.

Then suddenly several nurses appeared, pushing a bed into the morgue, and it wasn't hard to imagine that the bed contained a corpse.

After they placed the bed in the morgue, a few people came out, closed the door, and left. The whole process took about a minute.

Then time slowly accelerated to midnight, and the doorknob of the morgue suddenly clicked, and then the door was opened from the inside.

A person with a male-like build, whose face was obscured and who was wearing a hospital gown, walked out from inside.

The nurses were too afraid to look and hid in the back. Li Ku slapped Qin Qingzhou's back repeatedly, shouting, "Qin, Captain Qin! The corpse has come back to life! He's alive! He's alive!"

"Calm down," Qin Qingzhou said, annoyed.

The dean stood to the side, somewhat worried, especially seeing Li Ku's reaction, unsure whether he should trust the police.

However, Qin Qingzhou remained calm...

"We called the police because of this. I heard there was a master in the bureau, so I had no choice but to call the police."

"Um...could you please have a master take a look and tell us what's going on?"

Qin Qingzhou watched the video several times, remaining silent the entire time.

Li Ku finally mustered his courage: "Um... could it be that he wasn't completely dead? He suddenly came back to life and walked out."

The nurse was the first to object: "Impossible. We wouldn't make such a basic mistake. We check all patients multiple times to confirm death before taking them to the morgue."

"What about their families?" Qin Qingzhou finally asked them.

"This..." The nurses looked at each other, and then the head nurse spoke up: "We haven't been able to contact this person's family yet."

"This patient was someone Dr. He encountered on his way to work a few days ago. He had collapsed on the road, and Dr. He kindly brought him home, but unfortunately, he couldn't be saved..."

"Dr. He?"

"Dr. He is a top doctor in our hospital. He is a good person and has excellent skills. Many patients like him very much."

Qin Qingzhou nodded: "Where is Dr. He now?"

"He's in the operating room right now, he'll be out soon. Why don't you two go to his office and wait for him?"

Qin Qingzhou and the others did not refuse and entered Dr. He's office under the nurse's guidance. During this time, the surveillance footage was also copied.

The nurse walked out of the office, still somewhat distrustful of them.

"Hey, can the police really handle this?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it, we might as well try anything."

The dean glared at them: "Stop gossiping. Are you all so idle?"

"This police station definitely has something going for it. Didn't you see those two people? Although they were scared when they saw the surveillance footage, they didn't say they couldn't solve it, nor did they criticize us for making things complicated. Doesn't that just prove they must have encountered similar situations before?"

"That's true."

Qin Qingzhou watched the surveillance footage several more times to make sure she hadn't missed any information. Dr. He returned at that moment.

Dr. He, wearing a white coat, rubbed his neck, which was a little sore from the long hours of surgery, as he entered the office and saw Qin Qingzhou and the other person. He gave them a gentle smile.

He wore silver-rimmed glasses, and his whole demeanor was gentle and refined. Every gesture he made exuded elegance, and he certainly looked like a doctor that patients would like.

"Officers, you're here for that boy, right?"

The boy he was talking about was the one who had come back to life.

"Yes, Dr. He, is there anything you'd like to say to us about that boy?" Qin Qingzhou smiled politely at him.

However, Qin Qingzhou's gaze kept subtly observing him, as if scrutinizing him.

This wasn't Qin Qingzhou doubting Dr. He; it was just a habitual action of his.

As a police officer, he needs to see through many of the people who appear before him.

Dr. He sat back down at his desk, took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and recalled that day.

"Yes, there was. I found the boy by the roadside. He was lying against the wall and looked like he was asleep."

"Others might have thought he was asleep, but I'm a doctor. At that time, his lips were pale, his fingertips were purple, and he looked very unwell. If he wasn't treated soon, his life might be in danger, so I took him back to the hospital."

"At the time, I thought he had a heart problem, which is why he fainted, since his condition at that time looked like he had a heart problem."

"But after a series of examinations, I discovered..."

"His physical functions are already those of a dead man."
