This time, the trip to the morgue was very beneficial. Liu Renyuan's right kidney was proved to be removed as expected. He started buying limited edition sneakers and high-end expensive wine in November last year. Xiao Lou speculated that he might've sold a kidney in October-November last year and received a large amount of cash. This was why he had the capital to squander money. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to afford such extravagant consumption with his usual salary.
Both Qi Zhaoming and Chen Yuqing didn't have any missing organs but there were many doubts about their bank accounts. It still needed to be investigated to see if they had anything to do with the case.
Xiao Lou prepared to stitch up Qi Zhaoming's body and put it back in the freezer. He just picked up the stitches when there was the sound of men's leather shoes on the floor tiles outside the door. The footsteps were slow like someone was walking leisurely.
In the middle of the night, in the empty corridor outside the morgue, the clear sound of footsteps was suddenly heard. Xiao Lou got the chills. The other person's walking rhythm was very familiar. It was exactly the same as last night's footsteps.
Liu Qiao's face turned pale and she lowered her voice. "It should be Zhao Sen right?"
Xiao Lou's expression was a bit ugly. This Zhao Sen was simply a ghost! Didn't he say he wasn't on duty tonight? Why come to the morgue again?! Looking at the corpse in front of him that hadn't been stitched up, Xiao Lou's heart beat violently. He took a deep breath and ordered decisively, "Liu Qiao, help me use this time to stitch him up!"
Liu Qiao nodded and held the body in place.
Xiao Lou was wearing gloves. He gently pressed the skin of the corpse with the tweezers in his left hand. The tweezers in his right hand picked up the suture needle. The needle tip passed through the skin and quickly knotted. It turned a circle and continued to sew and knot. His hands moved quickly like they were casting magic. The incisions that had just been cut were closed stitch by stitch to Xiao Lou's hand at a very fast speed.
The footsteps in the corridor were getting closer and Liu Qiao felt that her heart was going to stop beating. If Zhao Sen came in and saw that the corpse had been cut then he would feel suspicious and investigate. Then they might be exposed!
The corridor outside the morgue wasn't long and Zhao Sen's footsteps quickly approached the door.
Yu Hanjiang lay on the edge of Xiao Lou's pocket, afraid to make a noise. There was a layer of sweat on Xiao Lou's forehead but the movements of his hands were steady. The sound of footsteps outside were sounding ominously closer but he knew he couldn't panic now.
At almost the moment Zhao Sen's footsteps stopped in front of the door of the morgue, Xiao Lou finished the last stitch in a thrilling manner. Liu Qiao immediately covered the body with a white cloth and the two people pushed it back into the freezer together before quickly turning off the lights.
Xiao Lou said, "Hurry, wear the cloak!"
The card was activated and Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao put on the cloak at the same time, hiding their bodies. The next moment, the door of the morgue was pushed open.
Zhao Sen entered the morgue, turned on the lights and looked around with narrowed eyes. He found no one in the morgue so he walked to the corner, opened the drawer where his cousin's head was stored and took out the black bag.
The round thing in the bag was his cousin's head. Xiao Lou clearly remembered what he saw when he opened the drawer last night. Seeing Zhao Sen turn to leave, Xiao Lou couldn't help wondering, "Where is he going to take his cousin's head?"
Yu Hanjiang's voice was heard in his mind. "I'll follow and take a look."
He crawled out of Xiao Lou's pocket, ran along the corner to Zhao Sen's side and while Zhao Sen wasn't paying attention, Yu Hanjiang used the Light as a Swallow card to accurately jump into the pocket of Zhao Sen's clothes.
