In a candlelit room, the atmosphere was very tense. Lei Mingyu paced back and forth, with an indescribable anxiety in his brows. In sharp contrast, Chen Hao was sitting at the table.

Chen Hao poured himself a cup of tea, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Can you please not leave? I'm dizzy."

Lei Mingyu turned his head suddenly and looked at Chen Hao, saying in a hurried tone: "No, I'll go for you. The person in front of you is probably Yu Chengmu. This old guy is very experienced. He should have completed the task long ago. He dragged it for so long, probably to trip you up. Xiaofeng was tricked by this old guy!"

"I'll be more careful." Chen Hao's face was calm.

"You can't be careful just because you want to, this old guy..."

Lei Mingyu was interrupted by Du Moyu just halfway through his words, "I said, can you please stop making trouble?" Du Moyu was not very polite, "Lei Mingyu, you are confused now, if it's your turn, can you deal with Yu Chengmu?"

"You have to learn to lean on this." Du Moyu nodded his head with his hand and said helplessly: "Learn to think with your brain, if I ask you, you are far from Brother Hao!"

"I think you are itching for trouble!" Lei Mingyu rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Du Moyu aggressively.

Suddenly, a gong sounded.

"Let's start..." Chen Hao put down the teacup and stood up.

Yu Chengmu will successfully complete the task, Chen Hao is not at all surprised. When the two met halfway, they exchanged a few words briefly, and Yu Chengmu reminded Chen Hao to pay attention to safety.

Chen Hao smiled and said yes, if possible, he would also take care of the next person.

After stepping into the threshold of the charity cemetery, the scene in front of him was really frightening. The lids of more than a dozen coffins were thrown on the ground at random, and some were even broken into pieces.

It is not difficult to imagine that something intense had happened here.

But Chen Hao instinctively felt that the thing that did all this was not aimed at Yu Chengmu. There was no reason to prove it, just his intuition. If he had to give an answer, it would be that Yu Chengmu was still alive.

Alive with all four limbs intact.

A row of wet footprints on the ground led to the door. Chen Hao came to an open coffin. The body inside had already rotted a little and exuded a foul smell.

The posture of the body was a little weird, with the chest raised up, the two arms pressed under the body, and the knees curled up.

Chen Hao pondered for a moment and concluded that these coffins were well covered not long ago. Something forcibly opened the coffin lid, and then grabbed the body with his hands, lifted it up, did not completely lift it out of the coffin, and then threw it back.

It was the guy who left the wet footprints.

Following the direction of the footprints, Chen Hao remembered that it was the direction of the river. He could vaguely hear the sound of waves when he came, and the water vapor was very heavy nearby.

According to common sense, such a place would never build a charity cemetery.

Connecting everything he saw, Chen Hao came to the most basic conclusion that Yu Chengmu had violated a taboo in the process of mending the corpse and attracted something. This thing was likely to come out of the river. The direction it came from and the footprints on the ground can confirm this.

Then the thing did not attack Yu Chengmu directly after it came, or it might have attacked, but he escaped in some way. The thing opened the lids of more than a dozen coffins and moved the corpses in the coffins.

Calming down his mind, Chen Hao walked towards the small room separated by white cloth in the lobby.

According to the order, he went to Yu Chengmu's room No. 1 first. The corpse had obvious signs of being mended, and the three incense sticks had been extinguished, leaving only a small part.

There were no signs of fighting around.

Chen Hao did not touch anything in Room 1. He turned around and lifted the white cloth and went to his Room 2. After entering, he noticed the three incense sticks inserted in the incense burner.

He frowned slightly. He clearly remembered that the night watchman said that the three incense sticks were placed in front of the incense table and needed to be lit by himself before inserting them into the incense burner in front of the corpse.

Because this was his own room, he had fewer concerns. He did not dare to pull out the incense rashly. He just pulled it up slightly with force and found the problem.

The incense stick in the middle was slightly longer, while the ones on both sides were slightly shorter.

Chen Hao immediately understood that this was Yu Chengmu's trick. If he lit the incense rashly, it would cause a situation where two incense sticks were short and one was long, which was very disrespectful to the corpse. It would be strange if he did not pretend to be dead.

But another problem arose. His incense was destroyed by Yu Chengmu, and there was no new incense sticks to use after searching here. What should he do?

He picked up the incense, lifted the cloth next door, walked in calmly, and learned what Yu Chengmu did to him. He inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner in Room 3 and aligned the incense heads.

Then he checked the incense on the floor of Room 3, and after confirming that it was correct, he took it back to his Room 2.

After lighting the incense on the candle, he inserted it into the incense burner and bowed respectfully, "I am helpless to disturb you today. I am a junior with little knowledge. If I offend you, please don't blame me."

After that, Chen Hao followed the process and started the task.

The problem that Yu Chengmu found was also reflected in him. The lighting was insufficient. Chen Hao found the spare candle in the room and lit it before he could observe the body.

The body was a male corpse. The left hand was broken, the kind that could be taken off directly. It seemed that this was the one that needed to be sutured. The other two injuries were in the shoulder and abdomen.

The wound on the abdomen was particularly large, with intestines and internal organs mixed together. When you get close, you can smell a foul odor. Fortunately, Chen Hao is a criminal policeman after all. He often goes to the scene, so he can tolerate this smell.

He examined the body very carefully. According to his estimate, if nothing unexpected happens, he can complete the task of repairing the body in 1 hour, at most 1 hour.

So he was not in a hurry, because he didn't have the habit of submitting the paper in advance. He had to drag it for 2 hours until the last moment when the incense burned out.

After all, this mission started at 3 o'clock, that is, midnight. Yu Chengmu took 1 and a half hours, and he spent another 2 hours. It would be close to 4 o'clock when it was the next person's turn to light the incense.

But according to his observation, the sky in this world was slightly bright at 5 o'clock.

Calculated in this way, the third person would have only a little more than 1 hour at most.

Haha, it sounds really good.

Chen Hao didn't dare to be careless. What he could think of, Yu Chengmu couldn't have thought of, so the safest way was to kill him and end the mission, so that the next person would be safe.

So Yu Chengmu's plan was definitely not limited to the one he had just made.

He had to be careful everywhere.

Like Yu Chengmu, Chen Hao also chose a relatively simple shoulder to practice on. After quickly suturing it, he then suturing the huge wound on the abdomen and stuffing the messy intestines in. It really took Chen Hao a lot of effort.
