[Ah...]

Screaming, fright, a woman's voice, a man comforting her.

Woman: [There's a body. There's a body floating in the Sea.]

A few seconds passed.

The sound of a phone call being made.

A police siren, far away. Someone approached.

Three men.

A: [Male corpse. No obvious external injuries.]

B: [Mm. Who found the body?]

C: [That couple outside. They came here after six this morning to watch the sunrise and found the body.]

B: [I'll go take their statements.]

A conversation.

The body was lifted.

Then came a series of jolts, as though he had been shoved into a Che. Someone spoke beside him.

[Have we identified the body?]

[Yes. His name is Chu Liuliang, from Wuwang Township, Fukou City. His ID number is..., and he's currently staying at... in Fukou City. He makes shore-foraging videos for a living. Because of his work, his social circle is pretty small. We'll need to investigate whether he had any enemies.]

[Oh, shore-foraging videos. I watch those too, but I've never come across him.]

[Well, that's normal. He never made it big. I took a look, and his followers across all platforms totaled less than ten thousand.]

[Less than ten thousand. Ah, what a shame. He was so young. But judging by his wounds, this wasn't a natural death, and this wasn't the primary crime scene either. Where's our forensic examiner?]

[The bureau has already sent someone to request a forensic examiner from the neighboring city.]

[Come on, why are we without a forensic examiner again? Where's Old Zhang? Where's Old Meng? Where did they all go?]

[Tell me about it. One's on leave, and the other resigned. They're recruiting forensic examiners now. The brass said they'll even waive the forensic medicine degree requirement this time. A clinical medicine degree will do.
