If I ask you to set up a stall, why do you always run to deserted places?

Just recently.

Operator Xiao Liu was idly twirling the pen in his hand.

There were very few emergency calls tonight.

However, this is also a good thing!

He had just made himself a cup of instant coffee and was about to scroll through his phone for a bit.

The phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, this is..."

Before Xiao Liu could finish speaking, an old man's urgent voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hello! Is this the police station?"

"Come quick! There's a huge crowd causing trouble at the morgue entrance!"

"It looks like a gang fight to me!!"

Xiao Liu: ? ? ?

What the hell?

He almost dropped the coffee in his hand, as it was so hot that he jerked his hand away.

"Sir, please say it again! Where?! Where is there trouble?"

"At the morgue entrance!"

Your uncle's voice was urgent.

"The morgue at the back gate of the hospital was packed with dozens of people! It was overflowing!"

"This wasn't happening when I got home yesterday! It appeared this morning!"

"There's definitely someone up to no good inside!"

"Send men to attack immediately!"

"......"

Holding the microphone, Xiao Liu had a string of question marks popping into his mind.

No?

Is that correct?

There's a disturbance at the entrance of the morgue.

And it's a gang war?

Did you think this was a blockbuster movie starring the Young and Dangerous gangsters?!

Who would be so idle as to cause trouble at the entrance of the morgue?

Who are you trying to impress?

Xiao Liu has been working in the police force for 5 years and believes he has received all sorts of outrageous calls.

But things like today, where a crowd gathers and fights outside a morgue.

This is the first time I've ever heard of it!

Fresh!

"Group Two! Is Group Two there?"

Xiao Liu's lips twitched slightly, and he quickly pressed the button on the walkie-talkie.

In any case, he cannot ignore any police report!

"Group Two received! What's going on?"

"At the back gate of the old city hospital, Exit B of the underpass, near the morgue entrance, there have been reports from the public that a crowd is causing trouble. Please go and check it out!"

"???"

The other side remained silent for a full three seconds.

"No? Where are you talking about?"

"At the morgue entrance!"

"..."

"OK!"

The person on the other end of the walkie-talkie swallowed hard. "We'll go right now."

"Oh, and bring more people!"

Xiao Liu gave instructions.

Why?

"The person who called the police said there are dozens of people across the street, please be careful!"

"...Okay, but I think...there's definitely a misunderstanding here!"

The people in Group Two hung up the phone.

Xiao Liu leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

No?

The old man's tone just now didn't seem like he was lying to him!

But there was a disturbance at the entrance of the morgue...

This doesn't sound right at all, does it?

Moreover, hospitals are key areas for epidemic prevention and control.

Let alone if someone causes trouble, even if there's just a minor disagreement, the police will be called non-stop.

But now.

Only the old man called!

Could it be... that the old man is making a false police report?

"..."

That was all Xiao Liu could think.

Otherwise, he simply couldn't imagine that scene.

Dozens of people surrounded the entrance to the morgue...

What are you doing? Holding a memorial service?

Or is the funeral industry really that corrupt now?

Has the traditional "Eighteen Farewell Scenes" been upgraded to a group purchase for 100 people?

I don't understand! But I'm deeply shocked!

Xiao Liu simply stopped thinking about it and focused on the actions of Group Two.

the other side.

Old Town Police Station.

The three people in Group Two were driving an inconspicuous Santana towards the hospital.

The middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat was called Lao Zhou.

He is in his early forties this year.

I've been in this line of work for almost 20 years, and I've seen all sorts of weirdos and monsters.

He was scrolling through his phone with a blank expression, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"What the hell?! Gang fight at the morgue entrance!"

"Seriously?"

Even someone as experienced as him as he was in his prime couldn't hold back his emotions at this moment.

A group fight broke out in front of the morgue, and dozens of people were fighting together?

Are you kidding me?!

Old Zhou shook his head.

Little Liu must have misheard!

Or perhaps the public made a false police report!

Anyway, no matter what, no police incident can be this outrageous!

"Captain Zhou!"

The young police officer in the back seat, Ah Long, couldn't help but chime in.

"Do you think it could be a case of medical malpractice? Maybe the deceased's family had a conflict with the hospital or something?"

"Why are medical disputes causing trouble at the morgue entrance?"

Old Zhou looked up and glanced at him.

"They couldn't possibly be going to snatch someone from the King of Hell, could they?"

Ah Long: "..."

You know what, it's actually quite possible!

They have dozens of people, after all!

He quickly shook his head, dismissing the absurd idea.

"Then... could it be that we went to the wrong place? We were supposed to go to the back entrance of the hospital, but we mistook it for the right one?"

Do you think it's possible?

Old Zhou lit a cigarette and took a puff, feeling immense pressure.

Ah Long scratched his head.

Indeed, upon reflection, there is absolutely no possibility of it.

There were dozens of people!

Can you recognize all the wrong routes?

Besides, the hospital corridors are too crowded!

What happened?

Ah Long didn't understand. Could it be that someone really started a fire at the entrance of the morgue?

Otherwise, there's no reason why they would suddenly gather together!

Stop guessing.

Ah Zu, who was driving, adjusted his hat. "We'll find out when we get there."

The car made several turns.

Finally, we turned into an incredibly narrow alley.

The old buildings on both sides were so densely packed that it was almost suffocating.

The overhead power lines looked like a net.

"Good heavens!"

"Who would come to a place like this?"

"Exactly! It's so shabby!"

"Are you sure there's enough room for dozens of people?"

Old Zhou also peeked out and couldn't help but frown.

The more I look at it, the more I think the old man is making a false police report!

The alleyway leads deeper and deeper.

The light was getting dimmer and dimmer.

then.

After a sharp turn, the scenery suddenly changed!

Hmm... It's completely blocked.

But next second.

Ah Zu slammed on the brakes and lurched forward.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

His eyes widened.

"No, son..."

Old Zhou was so frightened that he dropped the cigarette from his mouth, which landed on his pants, causing him to howl in pain.

"no?"

Ah Long leaned out of the back seat, pressed his face against the car window, and opened his mouth into an "O" shape.

Just ahead, not far away!

The passageway exit, which should have been so deserted that it could be used to film a horror movie!

At this moment, it was packed with a huge crowd of people!

That's right!

It was a huge crowd!

The line started from the open space outside the exit and stretched inwards along the winding alley!

The road wound its way to its deepest point!

"Holy crap!!"

"There are dozens of people in total?"

Ah Long was dumbfounded; there must be at least one or two hundred people here!

Moreover, new people are constantly pouring in from all around!

"Oh no! Oh no! Something terrible has happened!"

Old Zhou gasped and instinctively reached for the equipment at his waist.

This is terrifying!

There's definitely something wrong!

"Brother Li!"

Ah Long also tensed up. "Should we call for backup first?"

If these one or two hundred people rush over...

They must be crushed into biscuits!

"Wait a minute!"

Old Zhou suddenly froze, his hand stopping in place.

"No, something's wrong! Don't move!"

He was experienced after all; after staring at the crowd for a few seconds, he immediately realized something was wrong!

The queue was so long that it filled every corner of the alley!

But the order and atmosphere were surprisingly good!

Everything was in perfect order, without a trace of chaos.

Moreover, everyone was queuing quietly; no one pushed or shouted.

People were even holding snacks and their phones, chatting while they waited in line.

This art style doesn't look like it's causing trouble at all!

As for what gang mergers?

That's utter nonsense!

nonsense!

How can people involved in a gang war be smiling so happily?

His front teeth are already popping out!

"Let's go down and take a look first, don't rush!"

Old Zhou pushed open the car door and lowered his voice: "Take off your uniform jackets, everyone. Go in plainclothes, don't alert them!"

"yes!"

The two team members quickly nodded; they understood what Lao Zhou meant.

There are only three of us on my side right now.

If the other side is really doing something bad, then they'll be in trouble!

After all, two fists can't beat four feet!

If a conflict breaks out, whether they can evacuate safely is another matter entirely.

Moreover.

With so many people, if they accidentally make a noise, it could attract a crowd.

That would inevitably lead to an unnecessary stampede!

This is something they absolutely will not allow!

The three of them took off their hats, trying their best to look like ordinary passersby.

They squeezed through the alley and into the queue with difficulty.

You know what?

There are so many people here!

Forget about squeezing in, even if you flew over, there would be tall people blocking your way!

It can't get in even a little bit!

"Follow me, let's feel our way forward together!"

The three of them were preparing to discreetly approach and take a closer look.

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out!

"Hey! You guys! What are you doing?!"

An older woman carrying a plastic bag spotted them and stopped them in one go.

"Get to the back of the line!"

"us...."

Old Zhou was startled and quickly said, "Auntie, we didn't come here to queue!"

"Holy crap!"

The woman immediately blushed with anger: "Don't you guys even line up to buy things?!"

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

"This is a society governed by law! Don't you young people have any manners?!"

"Believe it or not, I'll call the police and have you arrested!"

Old Zhou: ......

No, what does this have to do with anything?

We really don't queue!

and also!

Auntie, why are you so angry?

I was just trying to gather some information, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?

Before he could even speak, the people around him immediately began to criticize him.

"Exactly! Get in line at the back!"

"Don't even think about cutting in line! We've been waiting for almost 40 minutes, what right do you have to cut in?!"

"......"

"We're not... oh dear!"

Ah Long was also anxious and didn't know how to start the conversation.

"What do you mean 'not'? Let me tell you, you have to follow the rules. You have to queue up when you should!"

The woman had a very loud voice.

"Young people have hands and feet, why do they want to take shortcuts? Where's their manners?"

"You really think I wouldn't dare call the police, huh?"

Call the police?

I am a police officer!

Ah Long's lips twitched.

Just as he was about to explain, another old man stood up next to him.

"Yeah, let me tell you, the police response time is super fast these days! If you don't want to go in and get food and lodging provided, then you'd better get in line!"

The voice just fell.

The dozens of people in line ahead of them all turned around!

Dozens of cold eyes fell on them simultaneously!

It's incredibly oppressive!

"......"

Old Zhou felt a chill run down his spine.

Holy crap! Are you guys police officers or am I?

This doesn't make sense!
