He pulled the bag half open, and the student looked very nervous. His hand held something, but he did not pull it out of the bag.

A fruit knife?

Xiao Gu saw something reflective from the opening, but it was unclear whether it was a mirror or a knife. The bus started moving, and Xiao Gu went back to his seat. His eyelid kept twitching—he was feeling anxious. The rain outside continued to pour, and it was so heavy that he was unable to see the buildings that lined the road. Inside the bus, it was so quiet. No one spoke; it was a strange atmosphere.

Every one of the passengers is acting weirdly.

Xiao Gu leaned his body against the car window. The doctor that was across the aisle from him kept glancing his way with an unreadable smile on his face. It felt like he had found an interesting piece of art.

Taking out his phone, Xiao Gu activated the camera and chose the selfie setting. He raised the phone and glanced at the student at the last row using the camera. The boy seemed to suffer from carsickness. He placed the bag on his knees, and his face turned paler by the minute. Sweat kept forming on his forehead, but he never once took his hand out from his bag.

Is he not feeling well?

Xiao Gu was worried about the boy. However, before he stood up, the student realized that Xiao Gu had been watching him from the camera. The boy seemed like he did not want to be on camera. He used his hands to cover his face, silently used his finger to point at the doctor in the white coat next to Xiao Gu, and waved his hand back and forth.

Is he hinting at something? The doctor is dangerous?

After that small gesture, the student lowered his head to hug the bag.

Xiao Gu put down his phone and studied the doctor from the corner of his eyes. Suddenly, he was reminded of a new article that he had read getting on the bus—”Latest update on the cadaver theft cases at Central Hospital. The surveillance caught some possible suspects and has already denied the possibility of an inside job.”

Opening the link, the article attached a very blurry picture—it was believed to be the picture taken by the hospital surveillance. A man in white coat was crawling rapidly on the ground before disappearing into the morgue.

“White coat?” Xiao Gu enlarged the photo. The light was weak inside the bus. He focused on the picture. “The face is too blurry, but the frame is very similar.”

Suddenly, a phone rang. Xiao Gu, who was extremely focused, jumped in his seat. He put his phone away and raised his head. The ringtone came from the purse of the woman in the professional dress. She took out the phone and glanced at the caller ID—her face dropped.

As she answered the call, an anxious male voice came from the other side. “Huang Ling, where are you? Are you still working? The lights at your office have all gone off already.”

“I’ve already left. Where were you? You said you were going to come to pick up, but I didn’t see you even though I waited for half an hour!” Huang Ling did not have it good either. It was raining, and she had worked until so late. She had waited so long for the man, but he did not arrive.

“You’ve already left? How come I didn’t see you?”

“Stop pretending, this is not the first time you’ve been late. You never commit to the promises that you’ve made—I’ve had enough!”

“I know I was bad before, but I swear, this time, I wasn’t late. I waited at the door to your company at 6 pm and saw the lights at your building go off one by one, but I didn’t even see you.” The voice on the phone became hurried. “Where are you now? I hear something is wrong with your voice. Is it because that old hound is making things hard for you again?”
