Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: That’s Not What I Saw Just Now!

Officer Hu asked himself, throughout all these years on the job.

He had never heard such explosive news.

In fact, when he heard his daughter utter this sentence, his first reaction was complete disbelief.

But he couldn't ignore Hu Huixin's current state; she was too serious!

With his many years of criminal investigation experience, he could tell his daughter's shocked reaction was definitely not an act.

Moreover, he had previously thought Zhang Feng was somewhat eerie.

As a result, even though he hadn't seen it, he was already 80% convinced in his heart.

The road to the autopsy room was short.

Usually, it would take less than a minute to walk.

But today, Officer Hu's steps seemed particularly heavy.

He was worried that he might really see something he shouldn't see, but also worried he might not see those things.

Anyway, he did a lot of psychological preparation within the short corridor.

If it really was like what Hu Huixin just told him,

That Zhang Feng actually stood in place reciting incantations for a long time, and that corpse sat up from the table and even attacked Zhang Feng and Lin Rui?

Then what kind of expression and mindset should he use to face this incident?

So, when he arrived at the door of the autopsy room, he was almost unwilling to enter.

However, Hu Huixin had no idea what her father was thinking.

Without a second thought.

"Bang!" Once again, she rudely slammed open the door of the autopsy room!

She began screaming as soon as she entered:

"Dad, come in quickly, they... ah?! What's going on?!"

Originally, Officer Hu was hesitant at the entrance but directly rushed in upon hearing his daughter's strange voice.

He saw.

On the autopsy table.

The corpse lay there.

While Zhang Feng and Lin Rui, both in white coats, wearing masks, face shields, and gloves, were meticulously conducting the autopsy.

However, because of Hu Huixin's sudden intrusion, both turned their heads, with a hint of anger, looking towards the door.

For no apparent reason.

After seeing a scene quite different from his daughter's description, Officer Hu actually felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

But Hu Huixin was anxious.

Because she knew what she had seen wasn't like this at all!

Zhang Feng had clearly started fighting with that corpse.

How could such a harmonious and normal scene have appeared?

So Hu Huixin started jumping on the spot:

"No, it wasn't like this just now!"

"I clearly saw that corpse sit up, and its eyeball even fell out, then it picked it up and put it back in!"

"Zhang Feng was fighting with that corpse, I saw it with my own eyes!!!"

Lin Rui and Zhang Feng both looked odd upon hearing this.

Lin Rui directly put down the tools in her hands and looked towards Hu Huixin and Officer Hu.

Her voice sounded a bit stern, clearly upset:

"I say, Officers Hu."

"By barging into my autopsy room like this, do you know how close I was to cutting with a knife just now?"

"Had I cut, it could have caused a major issue."

"If you disrupt our autopsy, who will take responsibility if something goes wrong in the autopsy report?"

Hu Huixin was still very agitated:

"No, it's not like that, I clearly...

"Quiet!" Officer Hu finally spoke up.

Loudly stopping Hu Huixin's frantic voice.

He then turned to Lin Rui and Zhang Feng and apologized:

"I sincerely apologize, as Hu's father I apologize to both of you, this little girl's actions are partially my fault for not parenting her well."

"I hope you won't hold it against us, if there are any issues, I'll take responsibility."

However, Hu Huixin was certain of what her eyes saw!

She stepped up and loudly said:

"Dad! What are you doing?!"

"I saw it myself just now! It must be some Blinding Technique they used!!"

"If you don't believe me, we can check the surveillance, there should be independent surveillance in the autopsy room!"

"Enough!" But Officer Hu didn't believe his daughter; he grabbed her arm, puffing his cheeks, and grumbled:

"Can you stop making a scene?!"

"You're not only disrupting these forensic examiners' work, but you're also affecting my interrogation!"

"Your actions have already had a negative impact."

"Leave with me at once!"

"Come up with a ten-thousand-word self-reflection by the end of the day!"

"Why? I..." Hu Huixin wanted to argue her point.

But Officer Hu stepped forward and covered Hu Huixin's mouth.

Then forcefully pulled Hu Huixin out of the autopsy room.

Before leaving, he smiled apologetically at Lin Rui and Zhang Feng, mouthed a sorry, and carefully shut the door for them.

After the door was shut.

Lin Rui and Zhang Feng exchanged glances.

Lin Rui quickly walked towards the door with small quick steps.

She peered outside through the small glass, confirmed that they had left, and locked the door directly.

She removed her mask, leaned against the door seemingly in lingering fear, took a deep breath, and patted her chest, saying:

"Oh my God, we nearly got caught."

Lin Rui had already subconsciously started keeping secrets for Zhang Feng.

It felt like keeping Zhang Feng's secret was the same as keeping her own.

At this moment, Zhang Feng also ditched his tools, took off his mask.

If Officer Hu had observed keenly, he would have noticed, that he was holding two scalpels as if to demonstrate a double-blade technique on the corpse?

Clearly both were just barely handling the situation.

Zhang Feng commented to Lin Rui:

"Director Lin, I think there's no need for the window on the door of the autopsy room."

Lin Rui nodded upon hearing this, but soon her gaze towards Zhang Feng turned gloomy, she rolled her eyes at Zhang Feng and said:

"Isn't it all because of you?"

Zhang Feng grinned and spread his hands, stating:

"Helping the precinct solve cases quickly isn't a good thing?"

Lin Rui approached Zhang Feng, giving him a playful punch on the chest with her soft fist, saying:

"If it weren't for this, I would have reported you long ago! Hmph!"

Lin Rui acted a bit proud.

At this, Zhang Feng was about to laugh when a hoarse voice suddenly came to their ears:

"Boss, it's sweet of you to show affection, but boss, I still want to remind you to beware of women!"

If Officer Hu and his daughter returned, they would certainly see, this corpse sat up again, damn it!

But such a ghastly scene, let alone Zhang Feng, even Lin Rui was accustomed to it.

Her face flushed instantly, a tint of shyness appeared in her eyes.

She turned to scold the corpse coquettishly:

"What are you saying?! Showing affection?! We're not in that kind of relationship!"

But the decayed corners of the corpse's mouth held a hint of mockery as it looked at Lin Rui and said:

"Girl, you can't deceive me, I'm an experienced ghost."

"You!" Lin Rui clenched her small fists and turned to Zhang Feng, exclaiming:

"Zhang Feng, quick! Thunder Skill! Blast it to bits!!"

Corpse: "Ha?! Boss, you see! Women are vicious!! I'm already dead, and just for speaking the truth, she's so malicious she wants you to thunderbolt me!!"

Zhang Feng: "If you don't shut up, I'll really strike you."

Corpse: "Boss, I was wrong!!"
