Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Xu Bai and Skinny Monkey went downstairs, the first thing they saw was Gao Lan standing not far away.

Seeing this, Skinny Monkey said to Gao Lan, “Sister Lan.” Then, he said to Xu Bai, “Brother Bai, I’ll leave first.’

Xu Bai nodded.

Gao Lan glanced at the departing Skinny Monkey and looked at Xu Bai curiously. “It’s almost midnight. What is Skinny Monkey doing at your house?”

Xu Bai smiled. “Everyone in Old Factory Street knows that I’m a righteous person. It’s normal for someone to come looking for me in the middle of the night.”

Gao Lan rolled her eyes and changed the topic.

Xu Bai waved his hand. As he led Gao Lan to the entrance of the community, he sized up Gao Lan’s outfit tonight. His gaze landed on the pair of high heels that could kill both men and women. He smiled and said, “Don’t tell me you wore these high heels to the operating table just now.”

Gao Lan sighed. “I didn’t want to either. I was about to get off work, but a patient who was bleeding profusely came and was sent straight to the resuscitation room. A life is at stake. How would I have the time to change my shoes?”

Xu Bai nodded.

No wonder Gao Lan said on the phone that she was tired.

Wearing this pair of high heels and standing for so long, anyone would be tired.

“Old Bull barbecue?”

“I’d like that.”

Gao Lan tucked her hair behind her ear. “Give me another serving of seafood porridge to eat with.”

Xu Bai smiled and said, “Sure.”

When the two of them arrived at Old Bull’s barbeque shop, as usual, the interior and exterior of the barbeque shop were filled with customers. There were even some outsiders queuing not far away.

Xu Bai and Gao Lan did not need to line up.

An apprentice who was helping Old Bull do odd jobs saw Xu Bai walking over with his sharp eyes and immediately ran up.

“Brother Bai.”

“Is there a spot?”

The apprentice said firmly, “Please wait a moment. I’ll go to the shop to move a table for you.”

Xu Bai thanked him.

After a while.

After the apprentice took away the menu in Xu Bai’s hand, Gao Lan looked around. The neighbors, who were not angry at Xu Bai cutting the line at all, supported their chins and said with a smile, “Speaking of which, can you receive such treatment outside the old factory community?” Xu Bai looked at Gao Lan, thought for a while, and smiled.

“That depends.” “Such as?”

“I don’t have my badge.”

Xu Bai said with a smile, then looked at Gao Lan and said, “In the outside world, your Gao family’s reputation is much better than mine. When others hear that you’re the eldest princess of the Qiangyi Group, even if there are a lot of customers, they will clear the place.”

Gao Lan rolled her eyes. “You’re just short of saying that our Qiangyi Group is a violent group.”

Xu Bai smiled without saying anything.

Whether the Qiangyi Group was a violent group or not had nothing to do with Xu Bai. The reason was very simple. The jurisdiction of the Qiangyi Group was not under his 38th Precinct.

Xu Bai was not concerned about this.

Moreover, even if the Qiangyi Group was in his 38th district, Xu Bai would still do his job. He was dating Gao Lan, not the Qiangyi Group.

These were two separate matters.

Xu Bai had a bottom line when it came to public and private matters.

Gao Lan looked at the expression on Xu Bai’s face and shook her head speechlessly. She tucked her hair behind her ear and said, “I haven’t called my brother for a few days.”

Xu Bai looked at Gao Lan curiously.

“Did you have a conflict?”

Gao Lan shook her head. “A few days ago, I suddenly realized that the hospital had lost one of my corpses. I’ve been in the emergency department for the past few days, and I don’t have much time to look for the corpse.”

Xu Bai blinked. “The body…lost? How?”

“What’s impossible?”

Gao Lan said casually, “I checked the surveillance cameras in the morgue. Someone snuck into the morgue and stole a corpse.”

Xu Bai frowned. “Stealing corpses… I haven’t received any cases.”

The hospital that Gao Lan was in was under the jurisdiction of the 38th Precinct. Basically, if there was any medical dispute in the hospital, the 38th Precinct would send people to deal with it.

Otherwise, the 38th Precinct’s police station wouldn’t be in Gao Lan’s hospital.

‘But…

After losing the body, this case was neither big nor small, but if there was, it would be within the scope of Xu Bail s takeover.

Xu Bai thought about it. The police station had indeed not received a similar call.

Gao Lan laughed and explained, “What else could it be? The hospital wants to settle it internally. Besides, no one has claimed a corpse. It’s not a big deal if it’s lost.”

Xu Bai nodded thoughtfully.

‘I see.’

The hospital had lost the body. Although it couldn’t make the headlines of Feng City’s media, it was still a scandal for a public hospital.

Xu Bai thought to himself and then looked at Gao Lan.

“How did you find the unclaimed body?”

“I found it when I took the other body to the morgue.”

Gao Lan smiled. “A few days ago, a car accident patient died. At that time, there was a shortage of hospital beds in the resuscitation room, and no one knew where the morgue was. I simply pushed the corpse to the morgue and found that the small door of the corpse was open. Then, I found that the corpse had been lost.”

Xu Bai frowned and said, “Isn’t there someone guarding the morgue in your hospital?”

Originally, there was no need for anyone to watch over the morgue. However, last year, something happened in the hospital. Simply put, there were two corpses with contraband hidden in their bodies. After they died, Old Fu’s corpse was parked in the morgue. When the police went to pull them back, they suddenly realized that the two corpses had been disemboweled.

After Old Fu was dissected by their accomplices, he left the two corpses outside and tried to leave with the contraband. In the end, he was caught red-handed.

After that, the hospital added more security to the morgue.

In the entire Feng City, no, in the entire Federation’s hospital system, it could be said that Scorpion pooped in the morgue.

When Gao Lan heard this, she sighed. “After the investigation, a security guard went to work and drank. He was drunk and unconscious. He hid in the small room next door and slept. The other security guard said that the guard called and someone was waiting for him at the door.”

“What a coincidence!”

Xu Bai frowned slightly and touched his chin. “Why do I feel that this is a premeditated crime? Is there contraband in that corpse?”

Due to his professional habits, Xu Bai smelled the scent of a case.

Gao Lan shook her head. “No. After the incident last year, any corpse of unknown origin will be checked when they enter the morgue to ensure that they can only enter and not leave without any formalities.”

Xu Bai touched his chin and did not speak.

Gao Lan looked at Xu Bai curiously. “I suspect that someone stole this corpse for the identification of this corpse and stole the identification of this corpse.”

When Xu Bai heard this, he was slightly stunned. Then, he looked at Gao Lan and said, “That’s possible, but he has the ability to steal a corpse without anyone knowing. He might as well create a fake Identity out of thin air.”

On a dark street in Feng City, the ID card clearly had a price tag.

Wasn’t it less risky to spend money to buy a 99% fake Identity than to go to the hospital to steal a corpse?

Gao Lan shook her head. “Fake Identities are always fake. Can fake Identities bought with money enter your archives?”

Xu Bai smiled. “Of course not.’

Gao Lan did not say anything and only shrugged at Xu Bai.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

“More than ten years ago, there were people who bribed the hospital to buy those unclaimed corpses to prove their identity. In the past few years, this kind of thing has rarely happened.” “Very little. That doesn’t mean no.”

“That’s true.”

Xu Bai thought for a moment and nodded. He looked at Gao Lan. “Do you need me to get involved in the investigation?” Gao Lan waved her hand without thinking.

“Don’t.”

“What happened?”

“The hospital wants to resolve this internally. If you get involved, it’ll be troublesome.”

“The key is, can you solve it?” “Don’t you still have me?”

“You?”

Xu Bai looked at Gao Lan suspiciously. “I think you’re a doctor and I’m a detective. Treating illnesses and saving lives is your specialty, but investigating cases and finding people is my specialty.”

At this moment, Xu Bai was a little dazed by his and Gao Lan’s professions.

Gao Lan said, “I was the one who took the body and signed the papers to send it to the morgue. Now that the body has been lost, I must find it.”

Xu Bai thought that Gao Lan was afraid that the hospital would push the blame to her. He shook his head and said, “If the hospital wants to hold you accountable, it’s the responsibility of the two security guards. You’re a doctor.”

Gao Lan nodded and said, “I know. That’s why the hospital fired the two security guards after they lost Old Fu’s body.” Ci… retreated?

The corners of Xu Bail s mouth twitched.

Good God.

Did they move so quickly? After the accident, didn’t they leave these two people to take the blame and fire them immediately?

These two security guards were probably relatives of one of the hospital’s leaders.

Xu Bai was seriously suspicious.

At this moment.

Accompanied by the shouts, Old Bull brought his two apprentices and brought the barbecue and seafood porridge that he had made in a hurry to Xu Bai and Gao Lan’s table.

“Yo, Ran, it’s been a long time since you came to my place.”

“Uncle Bull.”

Gao Lan raised her head and looked at Old Bull. “What long time? Have you forgotten that I didn’t come to Lil Bail s birthday party the day before yesterday?”

Old Bull laughed loudly and waved his hand. “That’s different. You and Lil Bai came to my place, so I called you over. As for the others, I, Old Bull, will not recognize them even if I bring them along.”

Gao Lan smiled.

Xu Bai did not say anything, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.

Old Bull was Tietie’s Prynne Gang.

He had no choice.

After all, he and Gao Lan were childhood sweethearts.

Just like Old Bull, he hoped that Xu Bail s official wife was Gao Lan’s neighbor.

In the entire neighborhood, it could be said that she occupied more than half of the country.
