Chapter 56: The Vanished Corpse

  Yu Shao Yong and others looked at Liu Li with a face of admiration, thinking: "This guy is really bold, when shooting to kill the thug, he didn't even fear that another thug holding a knife would harm the hostage? But it's also strange, after seeing his companion being shot dead, the thug holding the knife didn't have any reaction at all. Was he scared stupid?"

  No matter how others speculated, Liu Li carried Tingting and came to Lin Shuangshuang's side, helped her up from the ground, then said goodbye to Yu Shaoyong, and took the mother and daughter away from the scene. The rest of the things, he had nothing to worry about anymore.

  The case of Lin Shuang and her mother being held hostage has been going on for over a week. In the past few days, Liu Li has been staying at home with them every day. Liu Wei and his colleagues from the third brigade have been taking turns calling Liu Li, who told everyone that he was fine and would go back to work in a few days.

  Apart from the inquiries made by colleagues, the Municipal Bureau's Supervision Brigade also arrived in Gucheng County to investigate the source of Liu Li's firearms and ammunition, and whether there was any violation of discipline when using firearms. At the same time, they required Liu Li to hand over the file of his gun license to the Supervision Brigade.

  After learning this news, Liu Li knew that these were necessary procedures, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He could now somewhat understand County Special Police Team's Li Zhan and the meaning of what Shao Yong had said at the time.

  Indeed, after the police use firearms, they need to face a series of audits. This is also why many police officers are equipped with guns but lock them in the armory and do not want to use them when performing tasks, because there are too many trivial things to deal with after using firearms.

  After handing over the procedures to the municipal bureau's inspection team, Liu Li returned to his residence. During this time, the three of them living together had gradually developed a sense of home. Seeing Liu Li come in from outside, Lin gently took his coat and hung it up, while Tingting had already shaken off her psychological shadow, with a smile on her face, ran over to find Liu Li, asking him to watch cartoons with her.

  After lunch, Tingting went back to her room to rest. Liu Li rubbed his slightly sore shoulders and sat in the living room watching the news. Just as he was leaning on the sofa watching TV and about to fall asleep, a gentle breeze suddenly came over him, followed by a pair of soft and delicate jade-like hands gently massaging his shoulders.

  Liu Li was still in a daze, thinking he was dreaming, and subconsciously grabbed the jade hand on his shoulder. Feeling the smooth object in his hand, Liu Li couldn't bear to let go for a moment, while the jade hand struggled free twice before allowing itself to be held by Liu Li.

  Liu Li was holding the jade hand and enjoying it, but after pinching the jade hand, he suddenly came to his senses. He looked up and saw Lin Shuangshuang's stunning face looking at him with a hint of shyness.

  Looking up at the beautiful woman above, and then seeing the jade hand in his own hand, Liu Li was momentarily stunned. After a while, he somehow summoned the courage to get up and walk to Lin Shuangshuang's front, and suddenly hugged her into his arms.

  After the last hijacking incident, Lin Shuangshuang had an extra reliance on Liu Li in her heart. At this moment, being held in Liu Li's arms made her feel solid and safe, and she wished to be held like this for a lifetime.

  Holding the beauty in his arms tightly, Liu Li's hormones burst out instantly. He picked up Lin Shuang and sat down beside the sofa, placing her on his lap. Gently holding up Lin Shuang's face, he slowly lowered his head and deeply kissed her tender lips.

  After seeing Liu Li's actions, Lin Shuangshuang did not resist, staring at Liu Li with wide eyes, then her face turned slightly red as she closed her eyes, waiting for Liu Li's gentle kiss. Just as the two were about to touch lips, a sudden and inopportune ringing sound came from Liu Li's pocket: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, practicing deeply the Prajna Paramita... seeing that all five aggregates are empty, transcending all suffering and difficulties. Sariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is exactly emptiness, emptiness is exactly form..."

  Seeing this familiar scene, hearing the mournful voice coming from the phone, Liu Li's anger rose, and he gently said to Lin Shuangshuang: "This phone is one step away from being scrapped, please wait a moment, after I throw it away, we'll continue."

  After finishing, Liu Li stood up and wanted to throw away the phone that had ruined his good deeds several times. However, when he came to the window, he casually glanced at it and found that this call was actually made by Cheng Bin.

  "After hanging up this call, I'll throw you away." After muttering to himself in front of the mobile phone, Liu Li pressed the answer button: "Hello... Commander Cheng, how are you? What instructions does the leader have?"

  At this time, the microphone transmitted Cheng Bin's solemn voice: "Liu Li, how is your recent recuperation? Have you recovered physically and mentally? Although killing three thugs was a good deed for the people, it will inevitably leave a psychological shadow.

  "Normally, after completing such a task, one would be arranged to receive psychological counseling, but you refused to go to the municipal bureau for psychological training. I don't know what the leaders of the municipal bureau are thinking, they actually agreed to your request, it's really inexplicable."

  "Haha……I'm a person with a relatively big nerve, I won't easily leave psychological shadows, so there's no need for any psychological counseling." Hearing the puzzlement in Cheng Bin's words, Liu Li casually explained that the real reason was only known to him, which was because this wasn't his first time shooting down thugs.

  Hearing Liu Li's giggles and explanation, Cheng Bin felt relieved: "Not bad, since you can still laugh about it, that means the incident of killing the thug hasn't affected your mental state. Now I can rest assured."

  After a pause, Cheng Bin's tone returned to its previous solemnity: "Liu Li, I originally wanted you to rest for a while longer, but now it's not possible. In the jurisdiction of the First Squadron, Mei Wang Town had a bizarre case last night."

  This morning, when the staff of the crematorium in Mei Wang Town went to work, they found that Chen Baotang, who was on night shift, had disappeared. After a search, his body was finally found at the entrance of the mortuary.

  It turned out that something strange happened last night. Chen Baotang, who was on duty at the crematorium, suddenly walked into the morgue alone and died suddenly at the entrance of the morgue. After a preliminary examination by forensic doctors, it was determined that the cause of death was excessive adrenal secretion, in other words, Chen Baotang was scared to death.

  What's even more astonishing is that when the criminal police were inspecting the scene, they found that in the morgue, a freezer for storing corpses was wide open. According to the seal on the outside of the freezer, it had previously stored a corpse, but now that corpse had vanished into thin air.

  "After inquiring, yesterday afternoon, Mei Wang Town crematorium had received a female corpse who died from a car accident. However, the female corpse has now disappeared, and the place where it was stored is exactly that opened freezer."
