Facing Zhang Feng's puzzled gaze, Ma Xiaotong slightly smiled, or at least she thought she did, since she couldn't actually show any expression.
Then she said:
"Bro, if you have a way to seal me within my body, you should also be able to temporarily let me out, right?"
The "me" Ma Xiaotong referred to was, of course, the ghost Ma Xiaotong.
Hearing Ma Xiaotong's question, Zhang Feng instinctively nodded:
"Of course I can..."
As he said this, Zhang Feng's eyes lit up.
"Got it!"
Ma Xiaotong wanted him to go to the crime scene in a ghostly state.
There were still many people investigating and collecting evidence at the crime scene.
If he went, everyone would definitely see him.
But if it's the ghost Ma Xiaotong, ordinary people can't see spirits at all.
So Ma Xiaotong could enter and exit the crime scene without any obstacles.
Moreover, being a ghost, Ma Xiaotong could also see the spirit of the deceased.
At this point, she could bring that spirit back entirely.
It didn't require him to lift a finger!
Zhang Feng hadn't thought that he carried a corpse around every day and that the owner of this body could be so useful at a crucial moment.
Wouldn't it be that in the future, when he encounters similar troubles, he wouldn't need to worry about exposure and just send Ma Xiaotong?
Of course, this idea only lasted for a moment before Zhang Feng dismissed it.
Surely, he couldn't just take this female ghost and this corpse around for the rest of his life, right?
Ma Xiaotong still needed to go back to where she belonged.
But at the moment, why not use her if he could?
And Ma Xiaotong, seeing Zhang Feng understand her, nodded and said:
"Bro, let's start now. The sooner we bring that spirit back, the sooner you can solve the case!"
Now, Ma Xiaotong calling Zhang Feng "bro" was becoming second nature.
And Zhang Feng was used to it by now.
He didn't mind, nodding and saying:
"Alright, let's start now... Hey! Wait! Why are you taking off your clothes?!"
Zhang Feng was originally calm, but his eyes widened halfway through the sentence.
Goodness!
Why on earth did Ma Xiaotong, after nodding, suddenly take both hands to lift her top like that?
She was about to expose herself!
Zhang Feng immediately stopped her.
And Ma Xiaotong looked confused at Zhang Feng and said:
"Bro, don't you need to draw a Talisman on my body? So..."
"You don't need to take off your clothes for that!" Zhang Feng stepped forward and pulled down Ma Xiaotong's clothes.
Goodness!
Where did you learn this habit of taking off your clothes at the drop of a hat?
Zhang Feng was utterly speechless...
Don't you know how deadly your fair skin is to men?
Still trying to patiently explain to Ma Xiaotong:
"This time, there's no need to draw a Talisman."
"Just temporarily removing the seal on your body will let you out, so... no need to take off your clothes."
Listening to Zhang Feng's slightly dry-mouthed explanation,
Ma Xiaotong could only softly say:
"Alright then..."
Her tone showed no change.
But Zhang Feng could sense Ma Xiaotong's emotions!
Why did she seem a bit disappointed?!
"Ahem..."
Zhang Feng didn't want to delve further.
He extended his right hand towards Ma Xiaotong.
Two fingers placed on Ma Xiaotong's forehead.
Then he said to Ma Xiaotong:
"Are you ready? I'll begin."
Ma Xiaotong immediately nodded and said:
"Take care of my body."
"Don't worry about that."
Then, a light blue glow gradually appeared in Zhang Feng's eyes.
Then he shouted, "Open!"
The next second.
With a "whoosh" sound,
a breeze suddenly swept through the otherwise sealed autopsy room.
Then, in front of him, Ma Xiaotong closed her eyes, and her body instantly went limp.
Zhang Feng swiftly caught Ma Xiaotong's body in his arms.
Looking at a certain point in midair, he said:
"The crime scene is in the west of the city..."
He reported an address.
Afterwards, it seemed like another breeze swept through the enclosed area.
But this breeze didn't stir anything; it vanished like a faint echo.
From this moment on,
the temperature in the entire autopsy room noticeably rose.
It felt just like normal summer weather.
Without Zhang Feng having to say it, everyone understood that the ghost Ma Xiaotong had left.
Even in broad daylight, Ma Xiaotong the ghost was more agile than when she inhabited her corpse.
After all, her skills surpassed those of an ordinary ghost.
While daylight still affected her somewhat,
it wouldn't harm her essence.
So Zhang Feng felt comfortable sending her to the scene.
Just as Ma Xiaotong's limp body rested in Zhang Feng's arms,
Lin Rui cautiously poked her head in from outside.
The moment she peeked in, she cautiously asked:
"Did... she leave?"
The "she" Lin Rui referred to was, of course, Ma Xiaotong.
Lin Rui clearly felt the temperature rise in the vicinity.
This sensation was familiar to her.
When she was around Zhang Feng, every time he interacted with a corpse, the surrounding temperature would plummet.
And after sending the spirit away, the temperature would instantly return to normal.
It was exactly like what just happened.
So, standing outside and afraid to enter, Lin Rui immediately sensed something strange, and poked her head in.
Hearing Lin Rui's voice, Zhang Feng curiously asked:
"Where did you go just now? Why are you back only now?"
"I..."
Lin Rui was momentarily speechless.
She seemed a bit embarrassed to admit she was scared.
She simply said:
"I just... went to the restroom..."
I don't believe you!
Zhang Feng could immediately tell Lin Rui was lying.
But there was no need to expose her, so he beckoned and said:
"Hurry up and come help, will you? Push a gurney over here and put her body on it..."
The body...
Hearing this, Lin Rui couldn't help but twitch her mouth corners.
But now she could confirm—the spirit had already left. As for where it went, she didn't know; maybe Zhang Feng helped it move on?
So, feeling reassured, she walked inside.
Pulling over a spare autopsy table from the side,
Zhang Feng helped lay Ma Xiaotong's body flat on it.
As a forensic doctor, Lin Rui wasn't afraid of Ma Xiaotong's body. After all, she had seen her share of corpses,
but seeing Ma Xiaotong's pale and translucent body lying there was something else.
It seemed like Lin Rui's professional habit kicked in as she leaned over for a closer look.
After a while, confusion filled her eyes, and she slowly spoke:
"Huh?"
"How strange!"
Hearing Lin Rui's puzzled voice, Zhang Feng also approached, asking:
"What is it? Did you find something wrong?"
