Chapter 379: Chapter 379: The Dog Catches the Mouse - 1
Song Sisi twisted Qin Feng’s slender waist sharply with her delicate fingers, and Qin Feng closed his mouth, no longer speaking.
At that moment, Song Sisi suddenly remembered there was serious business to attend to, so she asked, "What about the corpses? Did that female ghost from earlier take them away?"
"It wasn’t the female ghost who took them, the corpses walked away on their own."
Although Qin Feng’s reply was somewhat unsettling, Song Sisi still believed him. After all, she had seen ghosts before and she knew about Qin Feng’s abilities.
To one side, Jian Haiyang let out a piercing scoff.
"Heh!"
After laughing, he mocked, "All the corpses here were lying in the refrigeration units, frozen stiff. They walked away on their own? What, do your popsicles walk too?"
"No matter how stiff they are frozen, they are still corpses. As long as they are corpses, they can walk."
Although Qin Feng had no interest in engaging with Jian Haiyang’s mockery, he still responded indifferently. After all, he needed Jian Haiyang’s help to find those corpses.
"Where did the corpses go?" Song Sisi was very curious.
Qin Feng looked at Jian Haiyang and said, "If we want to know where the corpses went, we need Forensic Doctor Jian’s assistance."
"Why should I help you?" Although he didn’t know what kind of help Qin Feng wanted, Jian Haiyang flatly refused.
"The mysterious disappearance of corpses from the morgue is the Patrol Team’s business, and I’m just here to lend a hand. Forensic Doctor Jian, you’re part of the Patrol Team. If you don’t want to help, why should I ’be a busybody’ sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong?"
After speaking, Qin Feng stepped forward as if to leave.
Seeing this, Song Sisi’s face darkened instantly, and she yelled at Jian Haiyang, "Are you going to help or not? If you’re not going to help, get lost immediately! Don’t get in the way here!"
Jian Haiyang was very frustrated. Qin Feng was being temperamental, and Song Sisi was actually yelling at him? He was scolded for no reason at all.
The sad thing was, he didn’t dare talk back and could only nod like a scolded child, reluctantly saying, "It depends on what kind of help it is?"
"You have to help with everything! Even if it means climbing a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of flames, you must do it!"
"Yes, Captain Song calls the shots! I’ll listen to Captain Song tonight!" Jian Haiyang backed down.
Although he was annoyed with Qin Feng and didn’t believe that the corpses had walked away on their own, he was well aware that as soon as Qin Feng left, Song Sisi would definitely follow.
That would mean he couldn’t stay with Song Sisi any longer. So, in order to stay with Song Sisi a bit longer, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.
"Jian Haiyang has agreed to help, so you can stay now, right?" Song Sisi asked Qin Feng, with a hint of pleading in her voice.
"If we want to find those corpses, we’re going to need some tools. There should be funeral supplies in this morgue, right?" Qin Feng asked.
"There’s a warehouse over there, we can go check it out."
Song Sisi led Qin Feng to the warehouse, but the door was locked.
"Do you have the key?" Qin Feng asked.
"No." Song Sisi shook her head.
Qin Feng had no choice but to remove the Phoenix Needle from his little finger, poked the lock with the tip of the needle, and then gently flicked it.
"Crack!"
The lock tongue sprang open.
Song Sisi was astonished and asked incredulously, "You know how to do this too?"
Jian Haiyang seized the opportunity to ridicule, "So this kid is not only a little swindler, but also a little thief! Although the lock on this warehouse door isn’t that high-end, it’s just a common lock. But this kid opened it in less than ten seconds. Furthermore, he has his own tools for committing the crime. In my opinion, we must take this kid back to the Patrol Team and interrogate him properly to see what else he has done?"
"Jian Haiyang, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll kick you out immediately!" Song Sisi shouted at Jian Haiyang again.
What on earth got into Song Sisi? Defending a little swindler, a little thief over and over, and yelling at himself?
Jian Haiyang was frustrated and angry, but he dared not show any disapproval towards Song Sisi. He could only swallow his pride and his rising anger, forcefully keeping it down.
Indeed, there were many funeral items in this warehouse, including incense, paper money, and paper effigies.
Qin Feng picked out the ugliest paper effigy from that pile, which was short, fat, and had a garishly painted face.
Qin Feng brought the paper effigy over to Jian Haiyang and compared it to him.
"Although it’s not very similar, it looks more or less like you, so it’ll have to do!"
These words immediately made Jian Haiyang suspicious.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"I mean no harm! This paper effigy resembles you, so I will need to use it to represent you later! After all, the missing corpses that can walk by themselves have mostly been turned into zombies. Even if they are not of high grade, they are still dangerous. Using a paper effigy as your substitute can at least save your life!"
"Use a paper effigy as my substitute? What are you planning to do?"
Although Jian Haiyang did not believe in ghosts, he still felt that Qin Feng was up to no good, definitely trying to harm him. Therefore, he had to ask clearly first.
"Your soul was lured away by the ghost woman, although I grabbed it back for you, your soul is tainted with ghostly energy. Therefore, using your soul to find those missing bodies, you’ll definitely be able to find them quickly."
After speaking, Qin Feng handed the paper effigy to Jian Haiyang and said, "Bite your fingertip, and with your blood, write your name on the back of the paper effigy."
"Write my name? It won’t put me in danger, will it?" Jian Haiyang was genuinely afraid.
"Forensic Doctor Jian, aren’t you a disbeliever in ghosts? If you don’t believe in ghosts, why are you afraid of writing your name on the back of this paper effigy? If you are scared or afraid of ghosts, just get lost!"
Once Song Sisi spoke, even if Jian Haiyang had to muster up his courage, he still had to write his name on the back of the paper effigy!
"Who said I was scared? There are no ghosts in this world, what should I be afraid of?"
Having said this, Jian Haiyang stretched his fingertip into his mouth and bit it hard. Then he neatly wrote his name on the back of the paper effigy.
"Nicely written. Let’s get started!"
Qin Feng complimented Jian Haiyang and then started to chant, mumbling an incantation.
First, a small figure popped out from the top of Jian Haiyang’s head and burrowed into the paper effigy. Then two more small figures sprang out from both of Jian Haiyang’s shoulders and entered the paper effigy, one after the other.
Seeing three small figures pop out of his body and burrow into the paper effigy, Jian Haiyang was somewhat in a daze, feeling as if his eyes were playing tricks on him, seeing things incorrectly.
But he felt as if his body had been hollowed out after those three small figures jumped out.
