The black raincoat covered the man’s body, but Chen Ge noticed that he was wearing many layers, making him look bigger than he actually was. When he noticed that the bus was coming his way, he immediately turned to run the other way.

“Why is it following me?” There was panic in the person’s eyes. The bus had deserted its route—that had never happened before. The bus cut through the rain, its speed not too fast and not too slow. It was driving right next to the man like it was waiting for him to get on. Such a strange thing happening caused the man to pick up his pace. He looked left and right like looking for an alley too small for the bus to get through.

“It’s so dangerous for you to wander alone so late at night when it’s raining.” Chen Ge had Tang Jun stop the bus in the man’s path and open the door. The man hesitated before getting on the bus. He removed the rain jacket and revealed a face that Chen Ge was familiar with.

Chen Ge had met this passenger before. When he visited Li Wan City before, it was this man who had introduced Chen Ge to the hearse. He was a doctor from the burn unit who had married a patient much younger than he was. Due to complicated reasons, his wife had committed suicide in the bathroom. Since then, he had been wearing the scarf knitted by his wife and gone searching for methods to see his wife again in the dark corners of the city.

After the doctor got on, he saw Chen Ge. In such a weird situation, it was greatly relieving to see a familiar face. He walked toward Chen Ge and sat down next to him without hesitation. The vehicle continued to move. Rain pelted the bus window, and the sound made people feel uneasy.

“You’re still alive?”

Chen Ge’s greeting was unusual to say the least, but the doctor was not mad. He shushed Chen Ge and then whispered, “Today, this bus is different from normal. Something bad might have happened.”

“What’s so different?” Chen Ge listened to the feedback, thinking about how to improve.

“I can’t tell, but it just feels strange.” The doctor shrugged his coat off and scanned the other passengers in the vehicle out of the corner of his eyes.

“No wonder you chose to escape the moment the bus pulled up at the platform.” Chen Ge shrugged. He placed the cat back into the travel bag. Whenever there was danger, the cat would become incredibly obedient and liked to stick close to Chen Ge.

After the doctor got on, the bus turned around and returned to its normal route.

“We’ll reach Li Wan City in a few more stops. There sure is a lot of passengers wanting to take this bus tonight.” Chen Ge closed his eyes to rest. Be it the drunkard or the red high heels, neither of them was his target. His main target was still the woman in the red raincoat.

Crossing through the rain, outside the bus, it was howling with wind and thunder, but inside the bus, it felt smothering and oppressive like even breathing was difficult. After another five minutes, the bus reached the next stop.

At the empty stop, there was a pool of blood being washed away by the rain. No one knew what had happened at the stop before the bus arrived. The blood stain slowly faded cleansed by the rain.

“When the woman in the red raincoat is attacked or provoked, blood will seep out of her raincoat, so does this belong to her?” Chen Ge could not confirm it. Perhaps it was a waiting passenger who was murdered.
