Chapter 72: Anna was stunned!

Hello, Bureau Chief!

Zhu Sihai led the four people impersonating headquarters reception personnel as they walked toward the temporary morgue on basement level one.

The several Public Security Officers on duty guarding Luokuang's corpse also hurriedly stood up and greeted him upon seeing Zhu Sihai.

Hmm, nothing unusual happened, right?

Report, no! We've been on 24-hour rotation guard here, no one has approached!

There weren't many Public Security Officers guarding Luokuang's corpse, because Dahe City is a small city with limited numbers of Public Security Officers, and they also had to organize the blockade line at Second Middle School, plus the Public Security Bureau is upstairs, so only four Public Security Officers were on guard.

Not bad, the mission is over now; you four can withdraw now.

Zhu Sihai impatiently waved his hand, indicating the four Public Security Officers could leave.

But just then the leading man suddenly spoke: 'Wait, we still need a few more people to help move the corpse; you four stay behind.'

The four Public Security Officers looked at each other, momentarily unsure whom to listen to—one side was the Bureau Chief, the other side was headquarters; in the end they all looked at Zhu Sihai, since headquarters is far away and the emperor distant, of course they still had to follow the Bureau Chief's meaning.

Zhu Sihai helplessly glanced at them and said: 'Since that's the case, then you stay behind.'

Opening the morgue's large door, a feeling of cold and darkness spread over them, this temperature having been specially set to prevent the corpses in the morgue from rotting.

And now, aside from Luokuang's corpse, the other corpses in the morgue have all been temporarily moved, although there weren't many to begin with.

Zhu Sihai and the four Public Security Officers walked in front, while the four headquarters personnel followed behind at a leisurely pace.

Did you all do the things that were arranged earlier?

Zhu Sihai suddenly spoke up in a low voice, asking.

Ah? Oh oh, done, done.

The Public Security Officer first stared blankly, then remembered.

Zhu Sihai slightly nodded and said nothing more.

The morgue wasn't large, and soon everyone arrived at the refrigerated storage where Luokuang's corpse was kept.

Clang!

The refrigerated cabinet storing Luokuang's corpse was pulled open by the Public Security Officer, revealing an expanded pale-yellow body bag before everyone.

Inside lay Luokuang's corpse, and this body bag was also made of gold plus special materials.

The leading man among the four reached out to open the zipper of the body bag, an action that startled Zhu Sihai, who hurriedly stopped him.

Wait, wait, the corpse inside involves the supernatural; wouldn't suddenly opening it be too dangerous?

Zhu Sihai's words were reasonable and evidence-based, not causing the man to suspect; the man nodded and did not try to open the body bag further.

And Zhu Sihai also breathed a sigh of relief, for there was more than just Luokuang's corpse in that body bag…… if there were still a chance of survival, he wouldn't want to die; otherwise, the money he'd 'earned' over the years wouldn't have been wasted, would it?

Hmm, you all carry the corpse; our vehicle is parked outside.

…………

Meanwhile, while Zhu Sihai led the four down to basement level one, the Public Security Officers upstairs had already made preparations.

Old Ginger, have you contacted headquarters? What did headquarters say?

A Public Security Officer anxiously asked, 'We need to know whether to attack or let them go; we need a clear answer. If these people really are from headquarters, then we're in big trouble.'

We've made contact; these people's IDs, names, and even appearances match…… but the people at headquarters said they lost contact with them a day ago, and there's still no news confirming whether they're dead.

Old Ginger spoke truthfully.

What's the point of talking nonsense? Just tell us whether those four are our own people.

The other Public Security Officers were somewhat confused; these people matched up with headquarters' records, but headquarters said they'd lost contact not long ago—so is there a problem or not?

Now, Old Ginger, you've reported the situation here, right? Has headquarters given any orders?

A Public Security Officer anxiously asked, eyes on the Bureau Chief and his group about to come up from downstairs; we need to make a decision here!

Headquarters said they are currently making emergency contact……

Old Ginger said with a sullen face.

What the hell, contacting a swallow! Forget it, everyone first load the tranquilizer gun; if it's useless, just fire directly.

A somewhat hot-tempered Public Security Officer said angrily.

I think it's fine, just like that.

I agree too!

Hurry up and get ready.

Unexpectedly, this suggestion actually gained approval from most of the Public Security team leaders.

Thus, under tight deployment, the Public Security Officers in the bureau hall appeared busy on the surface, discussing, reading, drinking coffee…… seeming no different from usual.

But if one observed carefully over a long period, one would notice that the busy Public Security Officers' gazes would occasionally drift toward the stairwell, and each officer's waist slightly bulged.

Thud, thud, thud……

Under this imperceptible solemn atmosphere, the stairwell finally echoed with chaotic footsteps.

First came two Public Security Officers carrying the two ends of the body bag, then another two Public Security Officers, and finally Zhu Sihai and those four people.

Right, you four, look, I forgot to ask—where is your vehicle parked? If it's too far, it'll be a hassle; with the temperature outside so high, if this corpse is left out in the sun, it'll reek to high heaven!

Upon hearing Zhu Sihai's words, the Public Security team leaders who were pretending to be busy suddenly felt their hearts tighten; did the Bureau Chief mean they still had accomplices outside providing support?

The leading man furrowed his brow; Zhu Sihai's pig-like shouting had annoyed them all along, and he liked to show off in front of them, randomly commanding the few Public Security Officers in charge of carrying the corpse, saying things like the lifting method was wrong, not to use too much force, etc.; otherwise they would have come up already.

The leader frowned; Zhu Sihai's pig-like squeal had annoyed them all the way, and he loved to swagger before them, barking orders at the few constables tasked with carrying the corpse—saying the lift was wrong, they mustn't use too much force, and so on—otherwise they'd have been up here already.

The man was simply too tired to listen to that fat pig's incessant chatter, and he waved his hand at the three behind him, signaling them to go up and carry the corpse.

Of the three behind him, aside from the woman who showed disgust and remained still, the two men obediently went up and took over the corpse.

Zhu Sihai was inwardly overjoyed, but on the surface he still put on an expression of 'how can this be?', his gaze briefly sweeping over the surrounding Public Security Officers; only after confirming there was no problem did he speak.

Oh dear, you this, oh dear, alright~alright~you four aren't going back to work?

Oh dear, you this, oh dear, alright~ alright~ you four still not go back to work for me?

Zhu Sihai, unwillingly, led four Public Security Bureau officers briskly to the side.

After Zhu Sihai left, the woman quickly walked up to the leading man; although she didn't understand Chinese, Zhu Sihai's pig-like voice and greasy face disgusted her ears and eyes simultaneously.

"Once the wind dies down, let's use this pig as a new vessel; that way it won't be easily discovered."

The woman lowered her voice and spoke softly in English.

"Anna! Not just anyone can be a vessel, and this is our final mission; after the mission ends we have to withdraw from China, and headquarters won't let us off..."

The man likewise replied in a helpless whisper in English, but for some reason his voice grew softer and softer until it finally stopped completely.

"Fuck, I don't want to go back to that hell..."

The woman seemed to have thought of something terrifying, and she involuntarily shuddered; if she could, she would rather hide in China for the rest of her life...

But the woman's words got no response from the man; she looked up and saw the man standing stiffly in place, while the two companions carrying the corpse also stopped their steps.

Originally the noisy Public Security Bureau lobby, the busy officers, and the pedestrians outside on the street, without anyone noticing, their voices all disappeared, and the entire Public Security Bureau fell deathly silent.

The woman frightenedly turned her head to look; all the Public Security Bureau officers were staring at them expressionlessly—those who had been drinking coffee, reading newspapers, etc., all put down what they were holding.

And Zhu Sihai, who had always been fawning over them, now looked at them with a cold smile.
