Gu Xingfeng snapped his fountain pen into two and the ink spilled on his hands to his fingers. But, he doesn't care. "Investigate each cetery!" he ordered as he slapped the table with his ink-stained hand, leaving a vivid black handprint on his desk.
"Yes!" Ke Congyi imdiately answered before he pulled the startled officer and they hurriedly left Gu Xingfeng's office. He already guessed that the 'animal' corpse that they found that day was of a yao's.
And now, there are almost two hundred 'animal' corpses in that cetery. Then, what about the other ceteries? Were they also 'hiding' the other corpses of the yao that gone missing and died after? Just thinking it brought chills down on Ke Congyi's spine.
"Imdiately investigate each cetery in the country, wherever it is!" Ke Congyi told the officer as soon as they returned to their cubicle.
The other officers curiously looked at them.
"You, too!" Ke Congyi pointed the others. "Imdiately! Imdiately investigate everything! Even if it is a little strange, be sure to inspect it thoroughly!" he told them. Then, he worriedly glanced at the door of Gu Xingfeng's office.
The cetery is the least suspicious place among all other places to hide a corpse, since no one goes to the cetery frequently, not to ntion that the cetery is also filled with corpses. Thus, it was very safe to hide corpses there and, if you have no moral, you can place the corpse with the other corpses already buried in their by their family mbers.
Ke Congyi sighed. What he initially thought an ordinary case of missing 'people' would actually be a very big and complicated case.
…
England.
As a capable boyfriend – ehem, boss… no, this isn't right. 'colleague', right, 'colleague'. As a capable colleague, Yi Bing has already booked a flight to England as soon as Huo Ling told him last night that he wanted to et Jiang Ce.
"You… you rember ?!" Huo Ling stared at Jiang Ce in shock after he and Yi Bing t with him.
Jiang Ce nodded. "En. I was shocked when Hao Baiyun, who was your cousin, suddenly forgot you." He said and sighed.
Huo Ling was puzzled. He then looked at Yi Bing.
"Soul Fragnt." Yi Bing answered.
This is the reason why Jiang Ce wasn't affected of losing his mories of Huo Ling after Huo Ling beca a grim reaper, especially the Soul Fragnt that possessed him before was Huo Ling's.
Huo Ling was surprised. "Soul Fragnts can also affect humans?!" he exclaid.
Yi Bing knew then that Huo Ling misunderstood. "Soul Fragnts can affect the surroundings. But, if upon humans, then they will possess them." he exclaid.
"… 'possess'?" Huo Ling muttered and looked at Jiang Ce who is calmly reading a book on the bench as if he didn't hear them.
He acted as if he never t them and talked to them earlier.
"En. Humans possessed by Soul Fragnts might change, or not change at all." Yi Bing said. "It depends on how strong the Soul Fragnt is. The stronger it is, the greater it will affect the human depending on its will, how it will change the human." He explained.
Huo Ling was shocked. "Then… how did he change before?" he asked as he pointed at Jiang Ce. "If the Soul Fragnt affected the surroundings by making my mother almost die… then, what about him?" he asked Yi Bing.
Jiang Ce. "…" talking as if I am not here! He thought as a vein popped on his forehead. But, there were passersby and he knew that the humans can't see Yi Bing and Huo Ling, who are grim reapers. Thus, he acted like he doesn't see them or hear them.
Yi Bing glanced at Jiang Ce before he turned his gaze back to Huo Ling. "I only heard it from Hao Baiyun before, but he said that the doctor he t once that saved him and Gu Xingfeng was very timid." He answered. "That is why he, as well as his subordinates Fei Xuli and Jing Yu were shocked that the doctor has beco an aggressive, as well as sharp-tongued…" he said.
Jiang Ce can't take it anymore. His brows twitched. "Enough!" he shouted.
"What – " the passersby gasped, startled by his shout, as they turned to him in shock.
Jiang Ce's lip twitched. He frowned, then glared at them. The passersby imdiately left, scared.
Jiang Ce turned, still glaring, at Huo Ling and Yi Bing. "Let's talk sowhere else." he told them.
Yi Bing didn't react while Huo Ling awkwardly smiled. Since Jiang Ce knew this will happen, then why did he still act like that towards them earlier? He thought and sighed. He really can't associate this Jiang Ce with the word 'timid', as what Hao Baiyun thought of Jiang Ce before.
Jiang Ce has really changed.
…
China.
Hao Baiyun felt his head hurt after he heard what Gu Xingfeng said. "Damn it." He cursed under his breath.
Gu Xingfeng sighed as he helped him sat on the couch. "I don't want to say this, but I have to." He took a deep breath. "As of right now, my subordinates have found more than a thousand corpses in S City." He said.
Hao Baiyun sharply inhaled.
Gu Xingfeng knows what he is thinking. "En. The number of the missing yao, who are all presud dead, doesn't add up to the number of corpses that my subordinates have found." He said.
Hao Baiyun didn't speak.
"Of course, we can't exclude the ones recently abducted and are still alive." Gu Xingfeng continued. "Still…" he looked at Hao Baiyun. "I am afraid that it wouldn't just be the ceteries, but also the other places the enemies have hidden the corpses of the yao. Also, we have to find the ones who are still alive. We might be able to save them." he told him.
Hao Baiyun tiredly sighed. "I know." He said as he leaned his back on the couch. "I already sent Fei Xuli and the others." he told him.
Gu Xingfeng sighed in relief. Then, he suddenly rembered sothing. "How about Mu Li?" he asked. he recalled that Mu Li was brought here by Yi Bing, and Huo Ling, so that he can help them track the yao that went missing.
"They have sent videos and the list of the shipping companies that they suspect." Hao Baiyun answered as he handed his phone to Hao Baiyun.
Gu Xingfeng took it. An email was open and there is indeed a list, as well as so videos with attached nas of the shipping companies. Gu Xingfeng opened one of the videos and was shocked to see it was high-quality, and even the audio was very clear. "This… this video is so good, as if it was an employee who took it, or a visitor was given the permission to record…" he said as he watched the video.
He expected for the video to be of low-quality.
"It should be Xiao Hualing who took the video." Hao Baiyun said.
Gu Xingfeng rembered the girl from the Stable World. "How did she do this?" he asked. Maybe he can ask her to teach his subordinates on how to secretly capture a video.
"… she is a grim reaper. She can beco invisible." Hao Baiyun reminded him.
Gu Xingfeng. "… oh." He muttered. His lip twitched. He can't have his subordinates beco grim reapers, okay? It is literally asking for their lives! He sighed in disappointnt. "Hm?" he muttered when he spotted soone in the video.
"What's wrong?" Hao Baiyun asked when he saw that Gu Xingfeng's expression changed.
"Do you still rember the Ascend Cruise Ship?" Gu Xingfeng asked.
"Of course. The year it sunk was the sa year that we…" Hao Baiyun answered when his voice suddenly trailed off. "Ehem. That year, we had Tang Tang." He said and looked away. His cheeks were flushed red.
Gu Xingfeng smiled. He knows what Hao Baiyun wanted to say. That year that the Ascend Cruise Ship sunk was the year that their relationship got better, and they beca officially together.
"What's wrong with the Ascend Cruise Ship?" Hao Baiyun asked, trying to change the topic.
"Well… maybe you should know him?" Gu Xingfeng said as he paused the video and then zoom-ed it.
The image didn't beca blur because the cara used is also very good, producing a high quality image.
Hao Baiyun looked at the screen and stared at the face of a man that Gu Xingfeng pointed. His eyes narrowed. "He… looks familiar…" he said as he tried to recall where had he seen the person. Then, suddenly, his eyes widened. "Wait… isn't he the manager of that actor before who died?!" he exclaid as he looked at Gu Xingfeng. "Who was it again…?" he muttered.
"Luo Ying." Gu Xingfeng answered. "This person is Jing Li." he told him.
Hao Baiyun's mouth fell open in shock. "But, but… didn't that actor die?!" he asked.. "Including his manager!" he added.
