As Li Mochen turned his head, he saw a flicker of doubt on Ye Huohuo's face. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this body?"
Ye Huohuo didn't answer, instead walking towards the corpse.
"Hey?! Who are you? Don't you find it smelly? Hurry up and get out of here!" A young police officer carrying the body waved at Ye Huohuo, telling her to leave.
But Ye Huohuo remained unmoved. She frowned at the bulging body bag, her right hand fingers moving faster and faster. Finally, she hissed.
"No, you can't bring it inside."
"Who are you? Old Zhang, why is Old Zhang letting just anyone into the police station!" The young police officer, already annoyed by the stench of the body, was further exasperated by this little girl running around and bossing people around. In a fit of pique, he called over the doorman, Old Man Zhang, intending for him to escort Ye Huohuo out of the police station.
"Hey?! I brought her, what's the problem?" Li Mochen's voice sounded from behind Ye Huohuo.
At this moment, a slightly plump forensic doctor saw the commotion and hurried over. "What's going on? What's up? Young Master Li? What brings you here today? You've come at an inconvenient time. I don't have time to play games with you today. I might be busy all night."
"Cai Bei, manage your subordinates properly. Don't drive people away just because of a wrong word!" Li Mochen covered his nose and pointed with his other hand at the young police officer who had just tried to drive Ye Huohuo away.
"Ah, this is our forensic department's new intern forensic examiner, Xiao Tang!"
This intern, Xiao Tang, wasn't stupid. He had heard before that the fourth young master of the Li family had a good relationship with Forensic Doctor Cai Bei. Now, seeing the man before him, he realized he was Li Mochen, the fourth young master of the Li family. Had he offended a big shot?
Could this nosy little girl be Fourth Young Master Li's girlfriend? This was bad. Wasn't he poking the bear's nest and asking for trouble?
So, he quickly put on a smiling face. "Section Chief Cai, I didn't know she was Young Master Li's friend. I just..."
"You'd better set up a platform outside and let this body sunbathe for two hours to get rid of its yin energy, otherwise, you might all be affected by its yin energy, falling seriously ill at best, or even losing your lives at worst," Ye Huohuo interrupted Xiao Tang before he could finish.
"And who is this?" Cai Bei's gaze fell on Ye Huohuo. She was a girl who looked about twenty, possibly not even having graduated from university yet. But seeing Li Mochen's protectiveness towards her, could she be his girlfriend?
Then his sister...
"This is my friend. I actually came to ask you for a favor today, and I didn't expect to run into you working on a major case!" Li Mochen frowned as he looked at the body bag. Any case involving a life was bound to be a major case.
"Since she's a friend of Fourth Young Master Li, let's just leave it at that. Young lady, please remember not to disturb police investigations next time, or you might be held legally responsible," Cai Bei, despite his plumpness and constant smile, looked much more approachable than Cai Xiaoxi.
He seemed to have a good temper, but once he dropped his smile, he exuded a powerful sense of pressure. Perhaps due to years of dealing with corpses, he carried a chilling aura. When he put on a stern face, he was even a bit eerie.
Cai Bei's face was stern now, clearly displeased by Ye Huohuo's interference in their investigation. Li Mochen also felt a bit in the wrong and didn't know what to say.
Instead, Ye Huohuo puffed out her chest and took a step forward, standing in front of Cai Bei.
"Forensic Doctor Cai, I know most forensic doctors don't believe in this, but I still need to remind you, this body is not simple. It's different from the bodies you've seen before.
If I'm not mistaken, wasn't this body discovered and removed from an extremely dark and damp place? Was it... from an underground sewage pipe?"
"You... what do you do? How did you know?" Cai Bei's face showed a flash of surprise.
After all, from the outside, one could only see the bag containing the body. Although the smell was strong and pungent even through the bag, most people could only tell it was a corpse. How could anyone guess where the body was found?
Ye Huohuo calmly glanced at the bag again, mused for a moment, and said, "Actually, it's very simple. I smelled it."
Li Mochen: "Ah?!"
Cai Bei: "..."
Intern Forensic Examiner Xiao Tang: "What the heck!" Could it get any more outrageous?
Li Mochen looked at Ye Huohuo with a face full of confusion, but seeing her wink at him meaningfully, clearly signaling that he should discuss any questions later, he swallowed the words that had already reached his lips.
Ye Huohuo smiled at them. "Forensic Doctor Cai, you might find it unbelievable, but this is the truth. I can smell many scents that others can't.
Although this decaying corpse emits a strong and unpleasant odor, I still smelled other scents on it. One of them is a unique smell from underground pipes."
Ye Huohuo spoke with such conviction that even Li Mochen beside her was stunned and began to believe that Ye Huohuo's sense of smell was extraordinary.
"Did you really smell it?" Cai Bei's face was very round, the flesh on his face squeezing his already small eyes into two black beans. He was now scrutinizing Ye Huohuo.
Ye Huohuo, with her textbook-level acting, put on a sincere face and nodded with great emphasis. "Yes, in fact, having too keen a sense of smell has caused me a lot of trouble. Sometimes, scents that are no big deal to others are unbearable to me.
I had no choice but to deliberately train myself, and over time, I became able to tolerate any smell. If it were before, the smell of this corpse would have made me vomit."
Now Cai Bei believed it. "The world is indeed full of wonders. I've heard before that some people's noses are several times more sensitive than dogs', and I never expected to encounter one today.
But even if this body was found in a sewage pipe, it wouldn't need to be sunbathed. We've found bodies thrown into sewers before, even body parts, and they were all processed in the dissection room without any issues."
"That's right. I've studied in medical school for several years and never heard of needing to sunbathe a corpse," the intern forensic examiner, Xiao Tang, who didn't have a good impression of Ye Huohuo, took the opportunity to retort.
Ye Huohuo didn't look at him, but instead glanced at the corpse again. "The bodies you encountered before were ordinary. Of course, how they were handled didn't matter. But this body is different. It is..."
Ye Huohuo didn't finish her sentence. She knew that forensic doctors generally didn't believe in supernatural matters. If she said that this corpse was deliberately made into a zombie, they wouldn't believe her.
If she didn't intervene and let them carry the body into the building, then not only the people in the forensic department but everyone in the entire building would be more or less affected by the baleful energy.
What to do?...
