Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 449 Forensic Doctor Qin Ming 2

At that moment, a short-haired girl wearing glasses, panting, tried to enter from outside the police cordon, but was stopped by the police officers.

Hearing the noise, Lin Tao, dressed casually, stood up and went over: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Su Ran also floated over to listen to their conversation. She was chewing potato chips, making a crunching sound, but unfortunately no one could hear her.

The girl wearing glasses, Li Dabao, explained, "I'm a forensic doctor, let me in."

"What's your name?" Lin Tao asked. He remembered that the new forensic doctor was a man.

Su Ran continued eating: "Crunch, crunch."

"I am Li Dabao from the Trace Evidence Department."

"Isn't Da Bao a boy?" Lin Tao asked, somewhat puzzled.

“That’s Zhao Dabao. He’s been transferred. I’m Li Dabao.”

"Crunch, crunch." Seeing how much she enjoyed eating, Xiao Qi, feeling hungry herself, also grabbed a bag of potato chips and started eating.

"Let her in," Lin Tao said, instructing the officers to release her after hearing her request.

Lin Tao led her over to Qin Ming: "Qin Ming, this is the new forensic doctor."

Li Dabao began by saying, "Section Chief Qin, I am Li Dabao, who was recently transferred here."

Qin Ming glanced at his watch and stood up: "What I hate most is being late."

He had barely finished speaking when Su Ran took a bite of a potato chip, crunching it down – this time she'd tampered with it.

So all three of them heard the sound. Qin Ming quieted down, and Lin Tao looked left and right and asked, "What was that sound just now?"

Li Dabao sniffed: "Why do I smell potato chips, or maybe tomatoes?"

Su Ran curled her lips into a smile, then ignored the smell and sound and continued eating.

"Host, you have such a heavy taste. People are retrieving body parts, and you're eating with such relish." Xiao Qi said as she ate in the system space.

"I blocked out the smell, so of course I didn't feel anything. But eating while watching this corpse retrieval scene must be quite a heavy taste."

"I studied the host."

"hehe."

The three of them looked around but found nothing wrong, and they didn't hear any more sounds.

Qin Ming continued to say to Li Dabao, "A person can be bad at everything, that's a matter of ability, but being late is a matter of attitude."

"I'm sorry, but I was just..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Ming interrupted her: "No need to explain. If you can't even be a decent human being, how can you be a forensic doctor?"

“This job can’t be done by a woman today,” Lin Tao said.

Li Dabao retorted, "Excuse me, what kind of work can men do that women can't?"

"Can you really scoop out body parts from the swill bucket, little girl?"

Li Dabao glanced at it, and without saying a word, he took off his coat and started working.

While Qin Ming was examining the body parts, Lin Tao was waiting for the results, and Li Dabao was focused on retrieving the body parts.

Su Ran, who had just finished a bag of potato chips, suddenly appeared and floated in the air, still holding the bag of potato chips in her hand. The three of them glanced at her out of the corner of their eyes and looked up.

"Holy crap, what is this? A female ghost!!" Lin Tao's eyes widened, and he took a step back.

Qin Ming's face was expressionless, but his gaze seemed to be pondering whether it was a person floating in the air or a real ghost.

Li Dabao controlled his slightly trembling hands and adjusted his glasses: "It really is a ghost, and I knew it smelled like potato chips just now. Ghosts can actually eat potato chips."

Su Ran raised the hand holding the potato chips and smiled at the three of them.

Her innocent appearance, coupled with her inexplicable smile, looked somewhat terrifying and eerie in the current atmosphere.

Lin Tao swallowed hard: "I've never done anything wrong, except that I often don't have time to spend with the baby. I'm thinking of going to burn some incense and pray to Buddha soon."

"I'll go too." Li Dabao raised his hand; seeing ghosts out of nowhere was too far-fetched.

Qin Ming held the tools in his hand, not moving them for a while: "This situation is not very scientific."

"The facts are right in front of us, and science is no longer important," Lin Tao said.

"Captain Lin, what are you talking about? Burning incense?" a police officer next to him asked.

Seeing his puzzled expression, and knowing that the other officers also seemed unable to see it, Lin Tao, Qin Ming, and Li Dabao exchanged glances, as if only the three of them could see it.

Lin Tao, remembering he was a police officer and couldn't create panic, calmly said, "It's nothing, just kidding. You guys continue retrieving the body parts."

Su Ran only showed herself briefly before disappearing and leaving. She only needed to meet with the main characters once today.

Seeing that the person—no, the ghost—had left, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. This wasn't the time or place to talk; they could only get back to work.

After leaving this place, Su Ran drifted towards the village where the original owner had lived, following her memories. It was in a mountain on the outskirts of Panyu City.

She found her uncle's house without any problems. The family was still awake and watching TV on the sofa.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew into the house, the living room lights began to flicker, and the television picture became unstable.

"The gate is closed, where is this wind coming from?" the original owner's aunt muttered.

Zhao Cheng, the cousin who was two years older than the original owner, was a big fat man who was spoiled by his family. All he cared about was that the TV series was gone: "Dad, why is the TV like this?"

"The circuit is probably unstable," the original owner's uncle said.

Soon after, the power strip and socket started hissing and sparking, and then spontaneously combusted.

The original owner's uncle, Zhao Peng, stood up and called to his wife and children, who were stunned by the sudden situation: "Fire! Quickly grab something to put it out!"

Just as the three were about to make a move, they saw the wall of the house suddenly turn red, with thick, dark red blood flowing straight to the ground.

"There's a ghost! There's a ghost!" Zhao Cheng, who often watches horror movies but is also very timid, shouted loudly.

Zhao Peng and Huang Xiuying were so frightened that they dared not move, their faces turning pale. Anyone would be afraid of such a supernatural phenomenon.

The doors leading from the living room to the other rooms closed automatically without any wind.

This made them tremble with even more fear. Zhao Cheng was still shouting that there were ghosts, and Huang Xiuying couldn't help but shout as well.

Only Zhao Peng, who barely managed to utter a sound, remained, but his legs were still trembling.

The fire burned quickly and erratically, unaffected by the blood on the ground. Soon after, the furniture and walls began to ignite one after another.

Even though Zhao Peng was terrified, he still pulled his son and wife and ran outside.

But when he got to the door, he couldn't open it no matter what he did. Driven by his fear of death, he kicked the door with all his might.

"Help! Help! Is anyone there?" Huang Xiuying cried out for help.

There were houses not far from them, so they should have been able to hear something if they shouted loudly, but no one came after shouting for a long time.

The fire grew larger and larger, and just when they were in despair of being burned, a strong, eerie wind swept in.

The fire that was just burning was extinguished in an instant, leaving only ruins and red-hot wood.

The light bulb had long since exploded under the high temperature, and now only the faint glow of embers remained on the furniture, which had turned into charcoal.
