The coffin was sealed shut, covered with numerous strange talismans, and then sent off to Hui Feng Medical College.
Li Chengfeng reluctantly bade farewell to Zhou Xuan, saying, "I'm sorry, Young Master. I really wanted to have a chat with you, but I'm in a hurry to go study the corpse, so..."
"Hurry up and research. If you find anything significant and it gets published, don't forget to write—originally discovered at Zhou's Purification Shop on East Market Street."
"..." Li Chengfeng.
Zhou Xuan was essentially claiming credit in advance. Since he's not the one doing the research anyway, he'll just earn some free advertisement.

Li Chusheng's corpse was finally taken away, and upon entering the shop again, the peculiar hunger sensation was gone.
However, Zhou Xuan still didn't let anyone linger in the shop. "Better safe than sorry," he said. "Let's close up for the afternoon. Don't rush home yet; let the shop settle down for a bit."
"Then I'll go play cards."
