The interrogation room was arranged in an abandoned classroom. In order to avoid causing too much impact, they could only do it quietly.

Director Zhang felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He kept twisting back and forth on the chair opposite him. He felt uncomfortable all over as if he had been bitten by mosquitoes. Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his back was soaked. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat off his forehead with a trembling hand.

"Director Zhang, let me ask you a question on behalf of the higher-ups. I hope you can cooperate with me and answer truthfully.”Li Hou asked seriously.

"Alright, alright. Comrade, you can ask!" Director Zhang scratched his cheek and said hesitantly.

"As far as I know, these two bodies were only discovered near noon?”

"Yes, it's that. The students only discovered it during the last two periods of PE class.”Director Zhang replied.

"However, this isn't the first time your school has found a corpse, right?”Li Hou looked at Director Zhang's condition and asked.

"Ah! This! Didn't the last incident with the police come to an end?”

"Please answer truthfully." Director Zhang intentionally avoided this question, but Li Hou had no intention of skipping it.

"Yes, there was one last time. However, that shouldn't be our school. It hasn't been built yet. It's on the construction site in the campus across the road.”Director Zhang tried to explain the location in detail in an attempt to avoid his relationship with the hospital.

"Then how did you deal with it?" Li Hou continued to ask.

"Ah! That matter had also been investigated. It was a drunk person. He sneaked into the construction site in the middle of the night, accidentally fell into a pit, and was stabbed in the chest by a steel bar. In the end, he unfortunately passed away.”Director Zhang said with some pity.

Li Hou saw him shaking his head with pursed lips and believed him. However, because he had understood it before, it was true. Li Hou jotted it down in his notebook and asked.

The questioning didn't take long, but it was extremely long for Director Zhang. It was just a normal question. Why was Director Zhang so nervous? Li Hou didn't understand, but he didn't ask further. Perhaps this was the same as some people, who were speechless when they met the person they liked. Even if they didn't do anything illegal, they would still feel nervous when they met the police.

It was already noon. After Li Hou asked Director Zhang, he had no intention of asking anyone else. If he wanted to ask, he would have to wait until the afternoon. Some key figures might not be free yet, so he was not in a hurry to do this.

However, after he walked out of the teaching building. However, he could not find Lin Yi and the others. It seemed that they had already left. His rumbling stomach reminded him. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and asked where the canteen was before striding over.

It was so good to be young! Li Hou was standing in front of a northern cuisine restaurant. Looking at the couple who were stuck together in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He was not just envious or something. After he ordered a few dishes, he walked to the back and looked around to see if there was a suitable place to eat.

After looking left and right, he found a familiar face. He slowly walked up to the person and smiled gently. He sat opposite the person and casually said," Aiya, I thought you guys left! Where's Brother Lin? Why did you change your clothes!”

The person in front of him was slowly eating the food on his plate. When he heard this person's words, he raised his head and looked at him. However, he was surprised.

Li Hou felt that something was wrong when he saw the woman staring at him blankly. He asked again,"Are you alone?" Where's Captain Lin?"

The woman in front of him was still looking at him with a blank expression. After chewing the rice in her mouth a few times, she was about to answer. However, a girl with two ponytails slid over from the side and shouted," Ling Jiu, let's go! Ignore this uncle. I've never seen someone hit on you like this. Aren't you old-fashioned?”After saying that, he didn't forget to make a face at Li Hou.

At this moment, it was Li Hou's turn to be at a loss. He looked at the two people sitting over with his mouth agape. He was shocked, Did I get the wrong person?

Seeing the girl with twin ponytails narrating the story vividly, Li Hou could only smile bitterly. He buried his head in the food on his plate and left in a hurry.

There were no corresponding facilities in the Laocheng District district, so the storage of the bodies was placed in an underground cold storage not far from the station. This place used to be a temporary morgue. After Lin Yi placed the body here, he went to find a forensic doctor. He immediately thought of his friend, Yang Yi, who had examined Zhang Zi's body. However! Three months ago, she suddenly resigned and went to another city. He didn't have her contact information, so he lost contact with her. Therefore, they could not find a suitable forensic doctor for the time being. There were only one or two people in the headquarters before, so they could not send anyone for the time being. The autopsy process was delayed. They had no choice but to wait for the professor from the local university medical school to come and take a look at it temporarily.

The professor's surname was Wang. It was already around eight o'clock in the evening when he arrived. Under the dim light, the professor squinted at the two bodies in front of him.

In the morning, the female comrade saw that it was inconvenient for the professor, so she asked Lin Yi to find a few incandescent lamps to use. However, the professor quickly waved his hand and said slowly," Police! It doesn't matter if the lights are dim, but you don't dare to use the lights recklessly! If the incandescent lamp was not chosen properly, the impact on the corpse would be irreversible!”

"Alright, Professor. I invited you here today to examine the corpse and do a preliminary autopsy for us first. As you know, there are only a few people in our city who know how to do this.”The man said respectfully.

"Yes, Professor Wang. Captain Lin, I don't know. Please continue.”Lin Yi hurriedly replied, but just as he finished speaking, he looked at the person behind him and smiled timidly. She stared at him angrily. He seemed to be asking, what's wrong? If I said something wrong, then why did you say anything?

"Police officers, when you told me about it, I tried my best to avoid it. I was transferred back from the provincial university to teach so that I could relax a little, but! You guys come to me every two or three days for an autopsy. I said! If you really can't do it, just hire one with a high salary! You've been ordering me around all day.”Professor Wang stared at Lin Yi and said aggrievedly. Although Professor Wang was already in his sixties, he only had a few gray hairs on his temples, and there were not many wrinkles on his face. She was completely radiant and healthy!

Lin Yi saw that Professor Wang was unhappy, so he smiled and complimented," Uncle Wang, you're a teacher. You're setting an example for us juniors! Since you're already here, help us again today. We won't trouble you next time!”

"You, you, you!" Professor Wang was about to interrupt Lin Yi's compliment when the iron door of the basement was slowly pushed open. A lean man slowly walked out from the darkness and greeted everyone.

"Captain Lin, Brother Lin! Hello, Professor Wang!"

"Mm, you brat! Alright, I'll help you again.”Professor Wang looked at Li Hou meaningfully before he weighed the tools in his hand and walked to the corpse.

Li Hou handed a few pieces of clothing to Lin Yi and leaned against the table with the two of them. They watched Professor Wang busy himself.

Amidst the rustling, Professor Wang said," Can you open the window in the basement? I think the moonlight is pretty good today. It's also good to light it up for me." Professor Wang looked up at the window and then at the neck of the corpse.

"Alright!" Lin Yi and Li Hou responded and walked over to open the window. Professor Wang said," In our hands, corpses shouldn't be called corpses. They should be called cadavers. These cadavers have used what they have left to make great contributions to humanity. Therefore, respecting the dead meant respecting the corpse. It's not just us Chinese. Even foreigners respect people who contribute to the medical industry.”

"Professor Wang, what about these corpses? Oh, no, this cadaver. Can you tell us the cause of death now?”Lin Yi asked.

"Cause of death? Can't you smell the strong smell of formalin? It was like someone stealing a specimen from a medical school and throwing it everywhere to take revenge on society!”Professor Wang said angrily.

Hearing Professor Wang's words, the three of them slowly surrounded the corpse in front of them. Indeed, although the smell was not that strong, it did not seem to have died not long ago. Instead, it was just as Professor Wang had said.

"Why can't I smell it?" Lin Yi lowered his body and straightened up.

"Brother Lin! Can't you smell it? There was a faint smell of medicine.”Li Hou explained.

"Officer Li, ignore him. His growth had been abnormal since he was young. When he was in university, he would smell like sweat after exercising. He insisted that it was his body fragrance.”The policewoman rolled her eyes at Lin Yi when she saw him being silly. She turned her head and teased him.

"Hey, 007, you're still talking about university? Do you believe that I'm talking about you?”Lin Yi retorted.

"Damn it, Lin Yi. Let me tell you, if you call me 007 again, I guarantee that you will never see the sun tomorrow.”The female comrade was furious when she heard that. She slammed her hand on the table and shouted at Lin Yi aggressively.

"So, this police officer, your name is?”Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Hou hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Lin Lingqi!" Ling Qi said clearly.

Lin Yi saw that she had already lost her temper, and Professor Wang was watching from the side with a smile. There was nothing else. He lowered his head curiously, rubbed his nose, and sniffed gently.

"Officer Lin, lower, lower!”Professor Wang reminded.

"Yes, ah! 84?”Lin Yi exclaimed.

"What 84? He's talking about formalin. It was a water solution of formalin, and it was a little obvious.。。”Ling Seven explained proudly after hearing Lin Yi's nonsense.

"What 84! I said 284! It's a number!" Lin Yi saw her giggling and quickly interrupted her.

When the two people opposite heard this, their faces were shocked. He quickly walked up to Lin Yi and looked at the place Lin Yi pointed at.

On the cadaver's neck, a black 284 could be vaguely seen.

Professor Wang saw that they had already discovered it. He looked around and slowly said,"Leaders, it seems that you need to hire a professional forensic doctor!" However! In my opinion, it's better to investigate the information of the living.”

Lin Yi froze on the spot. After hearing Professor Wang's words, he hurriedly turned around and walked to the corner. There was another one on the dissection table in the corner.

The cold moonlight had already sprinkled on these two places, and the corpses on the stage were caressed by the light. Moonlight shone in through the window, forming a long strip that illuminated the basement. The three of them moved to another corpse and looked at the number in front of them. They said coldly,"283."

When the three of them turned around, Professor Wang had already left.

In the basement, a figure slowly turned off the power switch. He smiled wickedly and looked at the three people in the basement through the window.

"Tonight, none of you three will be able to escape."
