At 7:45 AM, Ren Deshan, the Vice President of the Yin Yang Master Association, arrived at the entrance of the association and pulled out his keys.
"Hello!" The person who had arrived early and was waiting at the entrance hastily walked up behind Ren Deshan, "I have an urgent matter and need to seek help from your association!"
After a moment of surprise, Ren Deshan nodded repeatedly, "Oh, hello! Let's go inside and talk!"
Once inside the Yin Yang Master Association, Ren Deshan brewed a cup of hot tea and handed it to the man, asking, "Young man, what kind of trouble have you run into recently?"
The man took the cup of tea from Ren Deshan and, in his anxiety, placed it on the glass table with a "bang", looking gravely at Ren Deshan as he said, "Sir, I am a forensic doctor from the Y City police station, my name is He Ping."
After speaking, He Ping took out an ID from his pocket to prove his identity to Ren Deshan. After a glance, Ren Deshan nodded and asked with curiosity, "A forensic doctor coming to our association, could it be that there's a problem with a corpse?"
"No!" He Ping shook his head and suddenly his face turned ashen. After trembling for a bit, he continued with a hoarse voice, "These past two nights, on the same stretch of road on the north side of Xu Family Village in the northern suburbs, there have been two consecutive car accidents. Last night, late into the night, the leader of our bureau's accident investigation team called me, saying that he suspected the car accident the night before last wasn't an accident, and asked me to examine the three bodies that died in the accident today. But!"
"But what?"
At this point, He Ping was pale with fear, shaking all over. Swallowing saliva, he continued in a hoarse voice, "But half an hour later, that team leader himself died in a car accident on that stretch of road, and he also killed a villager, who happened to be the wife and mother of two of the deceased from the night before last."
"Ah!" Upon hearing He Ping's account, Ren Deshan's face showed panic. On one hand, he felt sympathy for the family's tragic fate, and on the other, he thought the matter was exceedingly strange.
"When the team leader called me, he said he had already returned home," continued He Ping, "I can't understand why he would drive to that stretch of road alone afterwards."
Hearing this, Ren Deshan's suspicions grew. After a moment of thought, he asked He Ping, "You've come to us because you think these accidents might be related to unclean entities?"
"Yes!" He Ping nodded, then turned to Ren Deshan with a desperate look, pleading urgently, "Sir, I want to go and examine the bodies of the three who died in the accident the day before yesterday, and I hope you can send a few Onmyoji with me. I am scared..."
"You're afraid of being targeted by unclean entities?" Ren Deshan answered for He Ping, thinking that if the team leader really was killed by unclean entities, then it meant those entities didn't want to be discovered.
Ren Deshan then phoned two members of the Yin Yang Master Association, Li Jian and Long Jiu, and arranged for them to accompany He Ping to the hospital for a thorough examination of the bodies.
At 10 AM, Li Jian and Long Jiu accompanied He Ping to the morgue at the hospital, where the three bodies from the car accident two days ago had already been prepared.
The seven bodies including Zhang Bing and Zhang Huifen, which had been delivered last night, were still in the morgue, and looking at their tragic deaths, He Ping, a forensic doctor, couldn't help but shiver.
Especially upon seeing the body of Zhang Huifen, He Ping felt a distinct fear from her eyes that refused to close in death. This led He Ping to wonder, was Zhang Huifen frightened by the car that struck her or did she see something even more terrifying before she died?
In the hospital morgue, there was naturally no shortage of Yin Souls. Some were the souls of people who had recently died and lingered in this place, while others were lost souls from the past that had come to retrieve their kin or to seek a companion.
Following He Ping into the morgue, Li Jian and Long Jiu, both Onmyoji, were constantly looking around. Ren Deshan had repeatedly warned them over the phone that this matter might be of great importance and told them to be extra careful and observe every Yin Soul in the vicinity, to see if there was anything suspicious about them.
Five minutes later, the morgue staff moved the three bodies who had died in the car accident the previous night into the workroom. Then, He Ping began to carefully examine the three bodies, while Li Jian and Long Jiu, stayed by his side, closely watching the surroundings.
Two hours later, He Ping was still examining the bodies. Suddenly!
Feeling a strong surge of Yin Qi approaching, Li Jian and Long Jiu immediately became alert.
At that moment, a female ghost dressed in white passed through the door of the studio and entered, her body shrouded in a Yin Qi that was evidently much heavier than that of other Yin Souls.
"What are you doing here?" Li Jian asked the female ghost sternly.
Seeing Li Jian inexplicably talking to thin air, He Ping, who had been focused on examining the body until now, was suddenly so frightened that his whole body shivered, and a chill ran down his back.
The female ghost's eyes gleamed threateningly as she glared at Li Jian and said menacingly, "I'm here looking for someone!"
"Is any of these three a friend of yours?" Li Jian interrogated.
Without paying any attention to Li Jian, the female ghost glanced sideways at He Ping and then turned to float away.
Seeing the ghost leave without a word, Li Jian and Long Jiu exchanged a glance of suspicion and then followed her out the door. But as soon as they stepped out of the studio, the female ghost had vanished without a trace.
"This female ghost is too suspicious!" Long Jiu mused thoughtfully.
"Ghosts are all like that," Li Jian dismissed, "but to be honest, her Yin Qi is really strong, although she doesn't seem like a fierce or violent ghost."
"What happened, gentlemen?" At this point, He Ping also followed outside.
Li Jian turned around, smiled at He Ping, and said, "Don't worry, it was just a female ghost passing by."
"Ah!" He Ping's face showed astonishment, "So there really are ghosts in this world!"
Li Jian and Long Jiu looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle. At that moment, on this dark and deserted corridor, there were seven or eight Yin Souls standing, and hearing what He Ping said, they all turned their gaze on him.
By three o'clock in the afternoon, the results of He Ping's examination were out. Indeed, just as Zhang Bing had predicted, it was not an accidental car crash: Xu Ming's son, Zhang Bing's death was recorded as 22:12, however, the examination showed he had already been dead for an hour.
After learning the results of the examination, He Ping immediately sent the report via email on his mobile phone to his superior; and Li Jian also called Ren Deshan right away.
When the three of them left the hospital, they found the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a torrential downpour had begun.
"I'll need to trouble both of you to take me back to the police station," He Ping said to Li Jian and Long Jiu.
"No trouble at all!"
Fifteen minutes later, they were only four hundred and forty-four meters away from the police station.
Suddenly, while browsing on his phone, He Ping's eyes widened with surprise as he exclaimed, "Strange, the email I sent just now has been deleted!"
"No matter, you're almost at the police station anyway, just hand the result directly to your superior!" Li Jian, sitting in the passenger seat, was unconcerned. As he spoke, Li Jian also checked his own call log and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "How come the call log of my recent call to the vice president has also disappeared?"
"Ah!" Long Jiu, who was driving, let out a startled cry, "Why is there suddenly a patch of fog ahead?"
