"Clang!" A crisp sound echoed.

Liang Yongcheng, who was dozing off in the dark interrogation room, was instantly startled awake.

He quickly resumed his intensely sorrowful demeanor.

If Oscar didn't give him a little golden statue, it would be unfair to his current level of acting.

But Officer Ma, who pushed the door open and came in, was also a drama expert!

Their acting skills were no less than Liang Yongcheng's.

With a face full of deep regret, he walked over to Liang Yongcheng's side and sighed deeply before saying:

"Mr. Liang, please accept my condolences."

"We don't want to see this kind of thing happen either, but the dead cannot be brought back to life."

"Gone is gone, and the living must move on..."

He was using such flowery language; who knew if Liang Yongcheng could even understand it.

But Liang Yongcheng was definitely cooperating completely; tears streamed down again, silently, from his eyes.

"Rest assured!"

Officer Ma's voice brightened a bit.

"The murderer will definitely face justice, no criminal can escape our law."

"We will give your daughter justice!"

This statement made Liang Yongcheng's heart skip a beat!

But of course, he wouldn't show it on his face; he continued to nod with a face full of grief.

Then Officer Ma continued:

"It's getting late today, Mr. Liang, let me take you home first."

"Sigh..."

Liang Yongcheng finally made a sound, a deeply sorrowful sigh, and added:

"Home?"

"Do I still have a home now?"

Seeing Liang Yongcheng's dedicated performance, Officer Ma could hardly resist giving him a thumbs up.

Officer Ma certainly wouldn't drop the act and "sincerely" comforted:

"Mr. Liang, you still have a young son who's studying out of town, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your son!"

"My... son?"

When Liang Yongcheng thought of this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a fierceness:

"That's the child of me and that murderer!"

"That murderer must have killed my daughter because of him! I don't have this son, I disown him! I don't want a murderer's son!!!"

Though he said this, Liang Yongcheng still stood up.

Officer Ma continued to play his role and said:

"Mr. Liang, you must not act rashly, someone else is responsible for the murder, it has nothing to do with this child, after all, he is your flesh and blood!"

Officer Ma's persuasion seemed to carry some unusual undertones.

But Liang Yongcheng couldn't detect it.

He let out another heavy sigh and then slowly said:

"I... Sigh..."

"Thank you, Officer Ma..."

"You're welcome!" Officer Ma waved his hand:

"Let's go, I'll take you back!"

"Okay." This time, Liang Yongcheng didn't hesitate and turned to follow Officer Ma out of the room.

However, when they reached the hallway corner, Officer Ma spoke again:

"Mr. Liang, we still need a detailed autopsy report from the coroner team on your daughter, so we can't return her to you just yet."

"But... we can make an exception and let you see your daughter again."

"Go take a look, talk to her, no one will disturb you."

Listening to this, Liang Yongcheng's heartbeat quickened.

He was clearly afraid to face his daughter.

He very much wanted to instinctively refuse.

But if he refused now, wouldn't all his previous performance be in vain?

It might even arouse Officer Ma's suspicion.

So, Liang Yongcheng braced himself and said:

"Okay... Thank you, Officer Ma."

A flash of light passed through Officer Ma's eyes.

"Come, the morgue is this way."

Saying this, he headed down a different corridor, with Liang Yongcheng following behind.

At the end of the hallway, a cold door stood quietly.

The closer he got to the door, the more Liang Yongcheng felt a chill on his back.

By the time he reached the end, he felt completely chilled, as if the temperature had dropped significantly.

Officer Ma thoughtfully opened the door to the morgue and led Liang Yongcheng inside.

Then he said to Liang Yongcheng:

"You two, father and daughter, have a good talk; I'll wait outside for you."

After speaking, Officer Ma closed the door.

But the force with which the door was closed was unexpectedly strong.

"Bang!" A loud sound erupted.

Originally, Liang Yongcheng was all alone in the eerie morgue.

The surrounding temperature felt eerily cold.

The sudden sound of the closing door made Liang Yongcheng jump three feet high in fright.

The hairs on his body stood on end.

It took him a while to calm down a bit.

But his face remained somewhat pale.

The morgue at night had only one dim light.

And the light shone on the platform used for storing bodies.

On the platform lay a pale-grey girl, quietly.

A small window was open.

The breeze outside moved the curtain.

The white curtain blew back and forth between darkness and dim light.

Causing Liang Yongcheng to draw in his neck.

There was no sound in the morgue, only the slightly heavy breathing of Liang Yongcheng.

His nervous eyes seemed unable to directly face the pale-grey body, constantly darting away.

But in any case, Liang Yongcheng understood; he was the father of that girl!

As a father, with his daughter's body lying there, if he didn't go over to take a look, what if there were surveillance cameras in the morgue?

If caught, he wouldn't be able to explain his behavior.

Thus, Liang Yongcheng gritted his teeth and cautiously made his way toward his daughter in tense steps.

His steps were slow and light.

As if he were stealing, afraid of waking the owner of the room.

"Gurgle~"

A strange noise suddenly arose in the dark.

"Whoosh!" In an instant, Liang Yongcheng turned his head to look into the pitch-black darkness, nervously shouting:

"Who's there?!"

"Snap!" A sound echoed.

A ballpoint pen gently rolled out of the darkness.

At this moment, Liang Yongcheng was sweating all over!

Seeing the pen, a look of distress and fear appeared on his face, and he patted his chest, complaining:

"Oh dear..."

"Why the hell did you leave the pen lying around like this after using it?"

The sound, in Liang Yongcheng's current environment, was indeed terrifying!

Little did he know, there were people who were nearly laughing out loud by now.

After sending Liang Yongcheng to the morgue, Officer Ma directly left.

He went to the morgue's surveillance room.

Besides Officer Ma, Officer Hu, Hu Huixin, and Lin Rui were present in the room.

The screen on the computer displayed the scene of Liang Yongcheng getting all riled up in the dark.

Liang Yongcheng couldn't see, but they could see everything clearly since the camera had some night vision capabilities.

The ballpoint pen had been gently pushed out from the darkness by Zhang Feng with one finger.

That's why the morgue still had a light on.

Precisely because of that light's tricky angle, Zhang Feng could remain completely hidden in the darkness.

If not for this, after Liang Yongcheng's eyes adjusted to the dark, even if Zhang Feng's hiding silhouette couldn't be seen clearly, the contours would definitely be discernible.

Officer Ma even remarked:

"A guilty conscience!"

"If he weren't guilty, how could he be so afraid?"

At this moment, Officer Hu, who had been chuckling at the surveillance, suddenly stiffened, and his voice trembled as he said:

"Wait a minute!"

"Did the victim's hand... just move?!"
