Around 3 p.m., a grandfather took his grandson out for a stroll. They went to a lakeside park not far from their home. When they arrived at the lake, there were many tourists playing and taking pictures nearby, and some street vendors were setting up stalls along the roadside.

Grandpa bought his grandson a small dinosaur toy, and then stood by the lakeside railing smoking and playing on his phone, while the grandson played with the toy by himself.

Less than five minutes later, the grandson came running to his grandfather crying, saying that a boy in the lake had taken his toy and that the boy had jumped into the lake.

At first, Grandpa thought someone had stolen his grandson's toy and accidentally fallen into the lake. But when he turned around, he found the boy's body floating in the water, and next to it, he found his grandson's toy.

At 5:30 p.m., when the management staff arrived at the lakeside, there were not many tourists left in the park. Only a few onlookers and a group of police officers in uniform remained.

Looking at the police tape along the fence, Yue Jiuling approached a policewoman present and asked, "How is it? What's going on?"

“You’ve arrived,” the policewoman said, pointing to the swollen male corpse on the ground. “It’s strange. The forensic doctor said this man had been dead for at least a night, but just now a little boy said he jumped out of the lake, grabbed his toy, and then jumped back into the lake.”

"Huh? A dead body stealing a toy? This must be a zombie coming back to life!"

Mu Xiaoyi, who was standing to the side, bit her lip and said, "Were there any witnesses or surveillance footage?"

"The surveillance footage is being reviewed, but the only witness should be that little boy."

The policewoman then pointed to the grandfather and grandson sitting in the nearby pavilion and said, "They're over there. If you have any questions, hurry up and ask them. They keep saying they want to go home for dinner."

Mu Xiaoyi glanced at the grandfather and grandson over at the pavilion, then said to Ye Dongfeng, "Let's go, Dongfeng, let's go ask them."

Bai Xinyu and Yinni were already squatting down next to the corpse, examining it. The male forensic doctor next to them also recognized them. He frowned and said, "This case will probably be transferred to you. The corpse has been dead for so long, it's impossible for it to have come back to life and steal a child's toy."

"That's right, so I'll leave this place to you."

A male police officer standing nearby also spoke up.

The police officers at the scene were familiar with the management department. When they saw someone coming to take over, they packed up and left, since they couldn't handle this strange case.

Yue Jiuling glanced at the corpses a few times, then walked to the lakeside and said, "The scenery here is quite nice, but there's a lot of yin energy at the bottom of the lake. I wonder how many people have died here."

Ya Zi bent down and watched them examine the body from the side of the hidden place. He heard Yue Jiuling's words and stood up, saying, "Well, it's hard to say. By the way, this corpse doesn't have any demonic aura, only ghostly aura. Let's call Dongfeng and the others back to take a look."

Just as Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi were talking, they turned around and saw the two of them return. Ye Dongfeng was holding a tape recorder, which contained the statements he had just recorded from the grandfather and grandson.

"So? What did you find out?"

He discreetly examined the deceased's body and asked questions.

Bai Xinyu also said, "We didn't see any ghosts in broad daylight, so this must be a zombie. The child probably had his toy stolen by this zombie's corpse."

Mu Xiaoyi also squatted down next to the corpse. She took the gloves that Yue Jiuling handed her and put them on. Then she went to examine the deceased's eyes and mouth. She also picked up a small plastic dinosaur toy next to her and said as she worked, "The child said that it was this corpse brother who jumped out of the lake to steal his toy. Now the toy is here, and it has been tainted with the death aura of the deceased. It seems that the child was not lying."

Ye Dongfeng also said, "I recorded the conversation and also asked the police. This toy was newly bought today. The child played with it for a short time before it was snatched away. A vendor who sells things can also confirm this."

"Alright, since the police have left, let's take the body back."

Ya Zi looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "By the way, did they leave us anyone to transport the corpse? I don't want to move any corpses."

Yue Jiuling looked around and found that there weren't many people left in the vicinity. The police had all left. She pouted and said, "Well, they're all gone. Looks like we'll have to move ourselves."

Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi also looked helpless and disgusted. They stood with Yue Jiuling and refused to move the corpse because they thought it was dirty.

Finally, the remaining three men had to take a stretcher from the car, wrap the body in a waterproof and moisture-proof cloth, and then put it in the car.

Fortunately, they came in two cars, otherwise it would have been troublesome to get back. However, on the way back, the three women rode in one car, and the three men carried the body in another car.

While in the car, Ya Zi sat in the passenger seat and looked at Mu Xiaoyi and the others driving in front. He said with a hint of resentment, "I say, aren't those girls bullying us guys too much?"

Ye Dongfeng, sitting in the back seat, said with aggrieved expression, "You bet! Although I'm not afraid of corpses, they really do stink!"

Hidden in the car ahead, he shook his head helplessly and said, "There's nothing we can do. Women are all 'tigers,' we can't mess with them. Brothers, let's just bear with it."

After returning to the management office, it was already six o'clock, but in order to solve the case as soon as possible, they worked overtime after finishing their meal.
