The Corpse

After a 13-hour flight, Charlotte and the others arrived at Bangkok Airport at night.

As soon as he got off the plane, Li Zhongzhi stared blankly at the three armored vehicles parked in front of him.

They had a direct sense of Charlotte's power; she had already arranged everything before even arriving in Thailand.

Charlotte led the group directly into the middle vehicle, while the two armored vehicles in front and behind provided escort.

"Go to the Bangkok Police Station."

Now that he was in the car, Li Zhongzhi quickly turned on his phone, which had been switched off on the plane.

Upon seeing the phone number and voicemail message from Thailand police officer Cui Jie, Li Zhongzhi quickly called back.

"Cui Jie, this is Li Zhongzhi. Do you have any new leads?"

"I couldn't get through to you on the phone. I checked and found out you left Thailand."

"A woman's body was found on the beach yesterday. They want you to come and confirm if it's your daughter, but they haven't been able to contact you."

"The body is currently at the police station. If it's convenient for you, you can come and take a look."

Hearing the voice on the phone, Li Zhongzhi's heart sank. He then looked at Charlotte and the others in the car and replied, "I'm on my way to the police station, I'll be there soon."

Charlotte, who was sitting next to her, also heard the voice on the phone. When she heard that it was about the female corpse found on the beach yesterday, she knew that there was still time.

Seeing Li Zhongzhi's anxious expression, Charlotte hesitated for a moment before speaking, "That's not your daughter, don't worry."

Hearing the other person's words, she thought Charlotte was comforting her, so she nodded reluctantly and tried to control her facial expression, but the shadow in her heart still hadn't been erased.

The vehicles soon arrived at the entrance of the Bangkok police station, where the officers on duty were taken aback by the sight of the three armored vehicles in front of them.

Knowing that an important person had come to the police station, he immediately notified his colleagues.

At this moment, Charlotte, Neji, Hinata, Temari got out of the car, and Li Zhongzhi was the last to get out.

Although he was the last to get off the bus, Li Zhongzhi ran to the front and headed towards the police station.

At this moment, the police officer on duty saw the familiar-looking Li Zhongzhi, wiped his eyes, and thought to himself, "Has he gone back to fetch reinforcements?"

But seeing Charlotte's team behind Li Zhongzhi, they were momentarily confused. What kind of setup was this—one adult and three children?

Clearly, the staff member on duty did not recognize Charlotte Doyle.

The press conference didn't spread throughout the streets of Bangkok. For ordinary people abroad, Charlotte Doyle wasn't as well-known as Tony Stark, Iron Man. After all, Tony was a true superhero who never stopped fighting crime after becoming Iron Man.

Aside from those two battles, Charlotte did not engage in any other acts of eliminating evil in the public eye, and S.H.I.E.L.D..'s publicity regarding Charlotte was limited to New York and the United States, with no publicity outside of those areas.

Inside the police station, Cui Jie had rushed back after hearing that Li Zhongzhi was coming. Upon seeing Li Zhongzhi approaching, he immediately spoke:

"Come with me, I'll take you to identify it."

Li Zhongzhi nodded, glanced back, and then Charlotte and the other three slowly walked in.

Following Li Zhongzhi's gaze, Cui Jie saw the four people entering and asked Li Zhongzhi, "Do you know them?"

"They came with me; they're my helpers."

Cui Jie gave Li Zhongzhi a meaningful look, then said, "Let's all come together then."

The group followed Cui Jie to the underground morgue. Looking at the rows of unopened cabinets, Cui Jie spoke:

"You can see it as soon as you open the cabinet in C3."

At this moment, Li Zhongzhi felt uneasy and walked forward with heavy steps.

Neji Hyuga silently activated his Byakugan, glanced at the cabinet in C3, and said directly, "Not your daughter."

Upon hearing Neji speak, Cui Jie glanced over and saw a kid with cataracts. He then called out to Li Zhongzhi, "Zhongzhi, you should take a look for yourself."

Li Zhongzhi glanced back at Neji. Although he hoped the outcome would be as Neji had described, he still walked to the cabinet to see for himself.

Li Zhongzhi opened the cabinet door and found a body covered with a white sheet inside. He pulled hard and dragged the body out.

Looking at the corpse in front of him, although it was covered with a white sheet, it was still easy to recognize that it was a female corpse, but he didn't know if it was his daughter.

Li Zhongzhi's eyes were red, and his hands trembled as he raised them and gently untied the white cloth in front of him...

Li Zhongzhi quickly covered the body with a white sheet, pushed it back inside, and closed the cabinet door.

At this moment, Li Zhongzhi turned around, his eyes bloodshot. He strode to Charlotte, knelt down, grabbed Charlotte's trouser leg, and pleaded:

"Lord Charlotte, please help me find my daughter. She's my only remaining family. Please!"

At this moment, Li Zhongzhi burst into tears, kowtowing and pleading with Charlotte Doyle.

Seeing this, Charlotte immediately bent down and helped Li Zhongzhi up, saying solemnly, "Don't worry, leave it to me, your daughter will be fine."

Seeing the foreign man taking on so much responsibility, Cui Jie frowned slightly.

Just as everyone was leaving the morgue, Cui Jie pulled Li Zhongzhi behind him and whispered, "What kind of people did you hire? Don't end up getting swindled out of your money and losing both your money and your life."

Cui Jie, a Chinese, had a natural affinity for Li Zhongzhi from Hong Kong and couldn't help but offer a reminder.

Neji and the others walking in front all frowned slightly, then looked at Charlotte. If the master agreed, they would definitely teach this guy who had slandered the master's name a lesson.

Charlotte shook her head slightly, seemingly unconcerned by Cui Jie's words, as she glanced at the gazes of her three subordinate ninjas.

Looking into Cui Jie's eyes, Li Zhongzhi said earnestly, "I believe in them."

"Perhaps you could look into the name Charlotte Doyle; he wouldn't lie to me."

"Could you please take me to retrieve some of my daughter's belongings? I need them."

Upon hearing Li Zhongzhi's words, Cui Jie firmly memorized the name Charlotte Doyle and decided that he would definitely investigate the name thoroughly later.

"The staff member in charge of the evidence room has already gone off duty. I'll go check if the key to the evidence room is there."

Cui Jie arrived at the office and looked for the key to the evidence room, but couldn't find it anywhere. He then asked the police officer on duty nearby.
