Chapter 561: Pick Up the Body

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Three days had passed since Lin Huang spoke to Hong Zhuang at the Union Government. The investigators had left the Martial Hunter College during the past few days and classes were back to normal. Lin Huang was back to his routine of going to the library, the training battleground, and his dorm.

Although he empathized with Hong Zhuang, he decided not to get involved in the case. He was not close to her after all. Although they knew each other, they were not on familiar terms. Lin Huang knew very well from the training camp that none of the people from the Purple Crow were honorable. Hong Zhuang chose her own path. As an adult, she should learn to accept the consequences of her decision, even if the result was death.

It was past nine in the morning. Lin Huang stuck to his routine of reading at the library. Suddenly, his Emperor’s Heart Ring vibrated. It was a message.

“Hong Zhuang has been executed. Please bring her body back from the Union Government as soon as possible.” Seeing the message, he did not hesitate. He closed the search page in the library and left. He had promised to retrieve Hong Zhuang’s body, and he did not want any delay.

As he stepped out of the library door, he summoned his dimensional relic and stepped into it. He then appeared at the entrance of the Union Government. He asked for the morgue’s location and headed to the first floor. The morgue was located at the west wing on the first floor. Lin Huang planned to ask the forensic officer for guidance, but seeing that the door was opened, he walked straight into the morgue.

“Hi, I received a message earlier. I’m here to pick up the body,” Lin Huang spoke to the man who was standing next to a body.

The man with a lollipop in his mouth turned around and said, “Register at the forensic desk next door. They’ll bring you back here after confirming your registration.”

“Thanks.” Lin Huang looked at him and walked to the forensic desk next door after thanking him.

After spending a couple of minutes registering himself, a lady in her 20’s brought him back to the morgue to pick up the body.

“Hi, Deputy Director Wu.” The lady blushed when she saw Wu Sheng.

“Hmm.” Wu Sheng proceeded to check the body in front of him as he responded casually. He did not seem to bother about Lin Huang and the lady walking in.

“Please give me a minute. I’ll look for it. Hong Zhuang’s body was sent here this morning.” A semi-transparent list appeared in front of the lady. Soon, she found the cabinet where Hong Zhuang was in and took her body out.

Lin Huang walked up to see a frozen corpse. It was Hong Zhuang. Due to the freezing temperatures, she looked pale. Her red lips were purple now. She was wearing the white clothes that she had on a few days ago. Her body was in pristine condition.

As he was checking the body out, Wu Sheng glanced at him secretly from the back.

“I don’t see any wounds on her. How did you guys execute her?” Lin Huang asked after confirming that the body was still in perfect condition.

“The Union Government usually uses euthanasia for most prisoners nowadays. The same applied to Hong Zhuang,” the forensic lady explained.

“Euthanasia… I hope she didn’t have to suffer before she died.” Lin Huang nodded and looked at Hong Zhuang’s peaceful expression which seemed like she was asleep. Perhaps death was a relief for her.

“So, do I just bring her away with me?” Lin Huang asked.

“Yes, you may since you’ve already registered. Just make sure that it’s the right body.” The forensic lady smiled.
