Absolutely Impossible!

"Hidden in the hospital room?"

Pu Guangrong's expression turned serious, and he pressed, "Did you see which ward they went into?"

Before the young officer could reply, he waved to the officers, signaling them to remain vigilant.

"I'm not entirely sure. Some say it's room 6019, others say it's the one next door..."

Before the young officer could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by another officer's shout.

"Captain Pu, over here."

The police officer stood guard at the door of Ward 6020, hesitant to go in. You could see that one of his hands was still on the pistol hanging at his waist, always on guard against any potential danger.

Pu Guangrong quickly walked to the door of the ward and reached out to turn on the light.

Seeing the scene in the ward, he frowned. "Two more dead bodies. What happened?"

He still couldn't understand why the killer would choose to go to the hospital and commit such a massacre.

If it's just about taking revenge on society, then surely they shouldn't have chosen a place like a hospital?

Moreover, based on what he currently knows, this series of murders clearly could not have been committed by just one or two people.

When the police arrived at the scene, before they had even set up a cordon, the corridor was crowded with patients and their families. Although they dared not get too close, it was clear that the few officers could not stop their curiosity.

"That's pathetic, tsk tsk~"

"I heard that Sister Wang saw the murderer?"

"Yes, she lives right across the street. I think her son saw it too, right?"

"Come on, that person is just a braggart. She wouldn't dare to look at the murderer."

Inside the ward, Pu Guangrong took a deep drag on his cigarette in frustration, then threw the remaining cigarette butt at the ground and stomped it out.

"Quickly set up the police cordon and let the citizens return to their wards. Don't disturb the scene."

The young officer, unfazed, silently picked up the cigarette butt and put it into the evidence bag he carried with him.

He hesitated before speaking, "Captain Pu, is it possible that this case involves a parasitic monster...?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Pu Guangrong waved his hand, his tone sounding resolute.

After the existence of the Parasitic Organism was exposed, the veteran detective naturally realized that the strange and bizarre cases he had handled recently, which were subsequently seized by the Special Affairs Bureau, probably all involved the Parasitic Organism.

So even though he had never seen those monsters in person, he knew exactly what the traces they left behind looked like.

At least their actions were far less meticulous than those in this case. Their highly purposeful actions, such as dealing with on-duty personnel, damaging surveillance cameras, and picking locks, are not things that Parasitic Organism would do.

Most importantly, after looking for a long time, he couldn't find any traces that looked like they were left by a bone knife.

"It is indeed Parasitic Organism."

From the crowd, a young man in the Special Affairs Bureau uniform spoke softly.

Um?

The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Pu Guangrong suddenly turned around.

"Officer Pu, long time no see." Lu Bai waved with a smile.

"Well..."

Pu Guangrong's eyelids twitched. "It's you, Team Leader Lu. When did you arrive?"

"I've been staying in the hospital all night, in the next room."

Lu Bai raised a thumb and poked it to the side.

"What?!"

"Please calm down, I know what you want to ask."

With a hint of amusement in his voice, Lu Bai added, "I took down several Parasitic Organism tonight. To avoid scaring everyone, I've already dragged the monster corpses into the ward beforehand. Would you like to see them?"

"It is indeed exactly the same as the monster corpse that was released."

In ward 6019, Pu Guangrong looked at the withered heads on the necks of the corpses with a hint of disdain.

Because the smell of blood in the ward was too strong, the police officers mostly stood at the door, using their bodies to block the view of the onlookers.

Yao Yi lay slumped on the hospital bed, looking utterly hopeless. "Can you please move these corpses away quickly?"

"Could you please bear with me a little longer, young man?"

Detective Pu offered a brief reassurance, then turned to chat with Lu Bai again. "Team Leader Lu, according to you, those deceased in the corridor were all in cahoots with the Parasitic Organism before they died?"

Is there a problem?

"Forgive my bluntness, but this doesn't match the testimonies of many eyewitnesses. The eyewitnesses in ward 09 unanimously believed that two men broke into their ward and started fighting. During the fight, the thinner man took the opportunity to slit the other man's throat with a dagger."

As Pu Guangrong spoke, he stared intently at Lu Bai, trying to discern any emotional fluctuation in his expression.

Unfortunately, there was nothing there, only some ambiguous smiles.

"My testimony doesn't match the eyewitness accounts, so how come the eyewitnesses' testimonies match each other?"

Lu Bai leaned closer and patted Pu Guangrong on the shoulder. "Old Pu, the corridor is so dark, and the patients are still groggy after just waking up. How credible do you think these testimonies are?"

"But..."

"No buts."

Lu Bai interrupted Pu Guangrong directly, "There are several corpses of Parasitic Organism here. Are you going to deny that fact?"

Pu Guangrong shook his head hesitantly.

"Alright, since this case involves Parasitic Organism, it should be handled by the Special Affairs Bureau, which means I should take it on. Do you have any further objections?"

"Team Leader Lu is right, but the Special Affairs Bureau personnel haven't arrived yet. Why don't we, the police, assist in the investigation first?" Pu Guangrong was unsure and decided to stall for time.

At least on the surface, there's nothing wrong with what he said.

"There's no need for assistance with the investigation. The police lack experience in handling such incidents; their job is simply to control the situation."

Lu Bai's tone was very gentle, but it was rather impolite of him to leave the ward after saying those words.

In his view, staying in the ward would only lead to more wrangling.

Instead, his departure prevented Pu Guangrong from intervening in the investigation, even if he was dissatisfied.

Of course, to put it another way, Lu Bai didn't actually think any remaining clues would threaten him; he was just doing this to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Many of the onlookers in the corridor were persuaded to return to their own hospital rooms.

But there are always some people with strong curiosity who leave the ward door wide open and stick half their bodies out to observe the situation.

The police can't do anything about it; some people will even grab the police tape and get right up close to watch the drama unfold. This kind of situation is unavoidable, as long as the evidence at the scene isn't disturbed.

"Team Leader Lu, hello."

Changhu, dressed in a blue and white striped hospital gown, stood at the door of a ward. He saw Lu Bai pass by his ward and quickly greeted him.

"Who are you?" Lu Bai stopped in his tracks.

Changhu gritted his teeth. "You definitely don't recognize me, after all, I don't wear a 'Smiling Face' on my head."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bai couldn't help but laugh.
