Of course, Zhang Feng would never say this to Officer Ma.

It's not that he would hide key clues about the case from Officer Ma.

But the method to find these key clues is absolutely something he can't let Officer Ma know about.

So, in the dead of night.

Zhang Feng and Lin Rui quietly snuck out of the guesthouse room again.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect!

This wasn't the first time they went to the morgue at the D City Branch to steal a corpse.

As for why they brought Lin Rui along.

Wasn't it because Lin Rui was worried sick about Zhang Feng?

Regarding surveillance issues, Lin Rui had to personally handle it.

However, just as the two of them were stepping out of the guesthouse entrance.

With a "whoosh!", Hu Huixin, dressed in black, suddenly jumped out from the nearby bushes, blocking their way.

"Where are you two going?"

Seeing the sudden appearance of Hu Huixin, Lin Rui and Zhang Feng were both startled.

Lin Rui's reaction was quick. She instantly wrapped her arm around Zhang Feng's and, with a hint of defiance in her eyes, said:

"We're going on a date, what's it to you?!"

A date?

Hearing Lin Rui's explanation, Hu Huixin's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Especially seeing Lin Rui's action of holding onto Zhang Feng, there was an inexplicable hint of jealousy in her eyes?

But she still said:

"A date?"

"Who goes on a date at one in the morning?"

"You're definitely going to the branch to steal a corpse, right?!"

Lin Rui pouted slightly.

She knew that Hu Huixin was fully aware of what Zhang Feng was doing.

It was just that due to Zhang Feng and her actions, Hu Huixin couldn't relay the information.

She had already started breaking through.

But even though she knew, how could Lin Rui let Hu Huixin ruin the "two-person world" she had with Zhang Feng!

So, she retorted to Hu Huixin with a displeased tone:

"Even if we are going to the branch to steal a corpse, what's it to you?"

"Of course, it has everything to do with me!"

Hu Huixin's voice was very firm:

"Didn't we agree that I would join you?!"

"So, whatever you're doing now, I have to be part of it too!"

"When did we ever agree to let you join us?" Lin Rui exaggeratedly looked at Hu Huixin.

"I suggest you go back to sleep! It's late at night, don't wander around the streets, you might run into ghosts~"

Lin Rui said this as if deliberately trying to scare Hu Huixin.

But Hu Huixin wasn't annoyed, and seemingly giving up, she spread her hands and said:

"Alright then..."

"Since you disagree, I'll just go back to sleep..."

"By the way, I'll tidy up my uniform and see if I can get it to someone by morning..."

Zhang Feng's pupils instantly contracted upon hearing this!

The "your daughter is in my quilt" incident from this morning flashed vividly in Zhang Feng's mind.

Especially as Hu Huixin's gaze seemed to fleetingly fix on him.

The implication was all too clear!

"Ahem!"

Zhang Feng coughed a bit awkwardly and said:

"How about we let her join us."

"Yay! Great!"

"Why?!"

Lin Rui and Hu Huixin's voices rang out with stark contrast.

Especially Hu Huixin, whose eyes bore a trace of a smug smile.

Faced with Lin Rui's questioning gaze, Zhang Feng awkwardly rubbed his nose and said:

"I feel... today's tasks aren't that simple, so having more people might actually help."

"Alright, it's getting late, let's hurry and head out!"

After saying that, Zhang Feng quickly changed the topic and hurried out.

As for Lin Rui and Hu Huixin, who were left behind.

They stood with arms crossed and eyes staring challengingly at each other.

Zhang Feng could even seemingly hear the crackling sound of electricity behind him.

If Zhang Feng didn't know the scene behind him.

He might have thought someone was about to use Thunder Skill against him.

Soon.

The trio arrived at the D City Branch.

Because it wasn't Zhang Feng's first nighttime visit.

Especially now, with Zhang Feng's reputation soaring!

Even the director who returned today was cautious around Zhang Feng.

So the people on duty didn't stop or question them at all.

They simply greeted Zhang Feng and let them in.

Now, coming here felt as comfortable as returning home.

Lin Rui directly turned towards the morgue's surveillance area.

While Hu Huixin followed Zhang Feng into the mortuary.

After securing the door, Zhang Feng slowly rolled out the skeletal remains.

Seeing the skeleton, Hu Huixin's eyes narrowed sharply:

"Oh my god, the corpse you're stealing today is this skeleton?!"

Hu Huixin hadn't participated in today's operation with Officer Ma and the others.

So she had no idea the corpse had become like this.

Looking at the frightening skeleton.

Hu Huixin even started to regret it.

Her face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly.

Although she had joined the criminal investigation not long ago.

She'd seen a few corpses, but not many, and always felt nervous and scared each time.

And now, facing a skeleton?

This made Hu Huixin feel like she was about to pee her pants.

Seeing Hu Huixin's current state, Zhang Feng, standing beside the skeleton, teased:

"What? Scared?"

"Weren't you not afraid earlier when you threatened me about this morning, insisting on coming? "

Hu Huixin was always susceptible to reverse psychology!

Had it not been for this temperament, they wouldn't have almost clashed in the morning!

So Hu Huixin gritted her teeth and proudly told Zhang Feng:

"Who said I'm scared?!"

"I'm just... curious!"

"Yes, just curious!"

"You're supposed to raise corpses with flesh, but can you even raise this skeleton?!"

This question was exactly what even Lin Rui wanted to ask Zhang Feng.

She'd heard of raising corpses and watched many movies and all.

But she'd never seen anyone raising skeletons!

If skeletons could move, wouldn't it be pure ghostly chaos?

White Bone Spirit?

But Zhang Feng couldn't be bothered to explain to Hu Huixin.

Besides, even if he did, she wouldn't understand anyway.

So he ignored Hu Huixin.

Looking at the skeleton lying on the autopsy table, he closed his eyes, formed a familiar hand seal, and recited a familiar spell talisman:

"Ghost Gate Opening, Yama's Order! Yin Soul Returns to Position!"

"Taishang Laojun orders! Rise!!"

Once the words fell, standing not far from Zhang Feng, Hu Huixin instantly felt a gentle cold breeze.

In the middle of summer, she felt a chilly draft sifting through her skirt, prompting her to inch closer to Zhang Feng, possibly for warmth or maybe due to fear.

"Creak!" At that moment, a teeth-gritting sound of bone friction resounded.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, the skeleton actually sat up from the autopsy table.

"What the—!" Although Hu Huixin knew Zhang Feng could raise corpses, it was her first time witnessing the entire process up close!

Her eyes sparkled with amazement, and she couldn't help but utter a curse:

"No way! Did you really raise a skeleton?"

But just as she finished speaking.

"Crash" went the skeleton, which had just sat up, suddenly collapsed again, lying lifelessly without any sound.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng's eyes narrowed sharply, and his brows furrowed.

Hu Huixin expressed her surprise:

"Did it fail?"
