Starting with dissecting ghost stories

The photo shows a headless doll in a reed bed. The doll's abdomen is slightly bulging and has been cut open, revealing two familiar organs inside.

Found it so quickly? Judging from the condition of the organs, it should have absorbed enough water.

"I've seen it." Shen Xing stood up and walked to the door with a serious expression. "If I remember correctly, this was the gift that Li Ya wanted to give to Li Xiaohua before? Grandma chased Li Ya away back then, and she didn't accept it."

"Is this Li Ya's doll? Are you sure?" Lu Wenying straightened up, tucking her drooping hair behind her ears. Her ponytail, tied up for ease of movement, trembled slightly with her panting.

"Xiao Yuan and I were both there at the time, and school hasn't let out yet. We can call Xiao Yuan over." Shen Xing reacted quickly and said, "You sit here for a while. There's a water bottle over there; help yourself. I'll go get Xiao Yuan."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Only after Shen Xing, wearing a white coat, jogged away did Lu Wenying breathe a sigh of relief and walk to the red plastic stool to sit down.

Although his senior brother was occasionally indecisive, his reaction, judgment, and speed were all very professional when it came to cases, which Lu Wenying greatly admired.

Ultimately, we are all human, and no one is perfect. The little flaws that Shen Xing has are what make him such a unique person.

Perhaps out of professional habit, Lu Wenying scanned the decor of Shen Xing's school clinic, and soon her gaze settled on the DV camera on the table.

Sony? That's not cheap.

The DV camera immediately caught Lu Wenying's attention. She got up, walked to her seat, and picked up the DV camera to play with it.

"HC30E..." Lu Wenyin looked at the model number printed on the silver-white body and nodded slightly.

This is definitely not an entry-level camera; it's more like a mid-range main camera. I didn't expect my senior to have a passion for photography as well.

only......

She was very curious as to why Shen Xing chose this particular one.

Did I get scammed?

Moving down a bit, there's the 15E, with almost identical performance, 80 pixels, and all the basic functions are complete.

Moving up a bit, the 40E reaches the megapixel count, resulting in even better image quality.

For a little more money, you can get the 85E, which is a near-flagship phone with two million pixels. It would absolutely crush the one I have now, and the price would only be less than double.

The 30E is stuck in the middle, neither high nor low. Its only advantage is that it has an additional infrared night vision function compared to the 15E, and the lens has also been changed to Zeiss. However, spending nearly a thousand more for night vision function and lens is definitely a loss for daily use.

Lu Wenying turned on the DV camera. She had no intention of prying into Shen Xing's privacy; she simply pointed the lens at the water glass and checked the image quality of the camera.

She put the DV camera back in its place and looked at the handbag under Shen Xing's desk.

The zipper of the handbag was not zipped up, and Lu Wenyin could clearly see what was inside.

Notebooks, books, tissues, electronic hand grip strengtheners... all very ordinary.

My senior brother's body does show signs of training; he's probably been practicing for several years.

She poured herself a glass of water, and as she drank it, she turned her head to look at the paintings on the wall.

"puff--"

A mouthful of water sprayed directly from Lu Wenying's mouth and nose, choking her and causing her to cough. She quickly grabbed a roll of paper from the table, tore off a few pieces, and wiped the water stains off her chin and the table.

The human muscle diagrams on the wall weren't anything strange, but below each frame was a line of handwritten text.

Study hard and make progress every day – Tagore

Knowledge is power – Lu Xun

[Legend has it that when Nuwa mended the sky with stones, she used 36,500 stones, and finally one stone was left over, which she discarded at the foot of Qinggeng Peak. —Wu Cheng'en]

No, did Lu Xun and Tagore even know they had said these things?

And why is that last famous quote so long? Isn't that the very first paragraph of *Dream of the Red Chamber*? What does it have to do with Wu Cheng'en?

Sun Wukong also sprang from a stone, but at first glance, there really isn't anything wrong with him.

There were too many things to complain about, and Lu Wenying didn't know where to begin.

She had seen her senior's handwriting and knew it was written by him... She didn't expect her senior to be so humorous. Didn't any students or teachers notice anything wrong with what was written there?

As Lu Wenying squatted down to wipe the floor, footsteps could be heard coming from the doorway.

Soon, Shen Xing brought Shen Yuan to the school clinic.

Shen Xing closed the door, and Lu Wenying stopped talking and took out a notepad and pen, holding the photo, and showed it to Shen Yuan.

"Xiao Yuan, have you seen this doll before?" Lu Wenying quickly regained her composure and asked gently.

As she held the photo, her fingers perfectly covered the exposed organs inside the dissected doll, preventing Shen Yuan from seeing anything unpleasant.

"I...remember." Shen Yuan pursed her lips and nodded.

Shen Yuan and Shen Xing were very cooperative, and the transcripts were quickly collected and signed by both of them.

This statement, combined with the blurry image of Li Ya holding the doll captured by the intersection's surveillance camera, basically confirms that the doll belongs to Li Ya.

Once the organ DNA comparison results are available, the case of the family annihilation and body disposal can be put to rest.

However, Lu Wenying still had some doubts about the surveillance footage.

She worried that the provincial department would seize this loophole and launch a fierce attack, and the municipal bureau would definitely be unable to withstand it.

"Thank you for your cooperation, senior brother and Xiao Yuan. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

Lu Wenying didn't have time to think too much or chat for long. She left in a hurry with her statement and those words.

Shen Yuan also left in silence, without waiting for Shen Xing, and walked home on her own.

Shen Xing, on the other hand, looked at the DV camera on the table.

I was passively touched.

It doesn't matter.

Nowadays, DV cameras are completely used as electronic eyes by Shenyang Railway Bureau. They no longer contain tapes and can be moved at will.

This feeling of being "unguarded" is also a way to gain trust.

What to do next?

Go home, cook a meal, eat, then go to the printing shop, and then go back to the school clinic to wait until 5 p.m.

Find a new place within two weeks and move everything from the garage there.

As Shen Xing packed his things, he thought about what he needed to do next.

Moreover, Shen Xing wanted to find some time in the evening to go to an internet cafe.

He has some things to investigate.

He wasn't particularly interested in playing online games, but information from online communities often provided Shen Xing with some inspiration.

For example, places like Tianya and Mop... especially Tianya, he remembered there was a section called Lianpeng Ghost Stories, which had all sorts of supernatural events and folk tales.

Shen Xing had seen it before, but wasn't very interested. But now, he had to go and see it again.

Previously, Shen Xing had always believed that the abnormalities that happened to him and in the school clinic were just occasional occurrences, and even the [02-Doll] that Li Ya encountered was just a coincidence.

Since the onset of his physical abnormalities, he has only encountered these two incidents.

Wang Xinran's appearance made Shen Xing realize that strange things had been happening a bit too frequently lately.

It's quite possible that I wasn't the only one who noticed this.

Perhaps on Tianya Community, you can find some people who have encountered similar situations.

If it really is a concentrated outbreak during this period, then it can explain why I didn't encounter similar things when I was in the provincial department.

Just as Shen Xing finished packing his things, another uninvited guest arrived at the school clinic.
