The zipper of the backpack was half open, and the student looked very nervous. He was holding something in his hand, but he didn't take it out of the backpack.

"Fruit knife?" Xiao Gu vaguely saw a reflective object from the gap, but he didn't know whether it was a mirror or a knife.

The bus had already started, and Xiao Gu returned to his seat. His eyelids were twitching and he felt a little uneasy.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and I could no longer see the buildings outside through the glass.

The car was silent, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

“The people in this car are so strange.”

Xiao Gu leaned against the car window. The doctor who was sitting across the aisle from him would look at him from time to time with an inexplicable smile on his face, as if he had discovered an exquisite work of art. His expression was very strange.

Taking out his mobile phone, Xiao Gu slid the screen and clicked on the selfie option.

He raised his phone and looked through the screen at the male student sitting in the last row.

The child seemed a little carsick. He put his schoolbag on his knees, his expression became paler and cold sweat was still oozing from his forehead. However, from beginning to end, he kept his hands in the schoolbag and did not take them out.

"Are you not feeling well?" Xiao Gu was a little worried about the child, but before he could stand up, the students sitting in the last row noticed that Xiao Gu was secretly watching him through his cell phone.

The child seemed unwilling to be photographed. He covered his face with his hands, quietly pointed at the doctor in a white coat next to Xiao Gu, and then waved his hand gently.

"Is he giving me a hint? Is there something wrong with the doctor?"

After the student finished the gesture, he lowered his head, hugged his schoolbag, and said nothing.

Xiao Gu put down his phone and glanced at the doctor next to him. He suddenly remembered a piece of news he saw before getting on the bus - the latest developments in the corpse theft case at the Central Hospital, and the surveillance camera captured a crawling figure.

When I opened the webpage, I saw that the report was accompanied by a very blurry picture, which was suspected to be taken by the hospital surveillance camera.

A man in a white coat got on all fours, crawled quickly on the ground, and went into the morgue.

"White coat?" Xiao Gu enlarged the picture. The light in the car was dim, and he looked at the photo intently: "The face is not clear, but the body shape is a bit similar."

Suddenly a cell phone rang in the car, and Xiao Gu, who was highly concentrating, was startled. He covered his phone and raised his head.

The ringtone came from the bag of the business-suited woman in front of Xiao Gu. The woman took out her cell phone and looked at the caller ID. Her mood seemed to suddenly turn bad.

After the call was connected, an anxious man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Huang Ling, where are you? Are you still working overtime? I see that all the lights in your company building are off."

"I came out a long time ago. Where are you? You said you would pick me up, but I've been waiting for you for half an hour and you haven't shown up!" Huang Ling felt very aggrieved. It was raining, and she had been working overtime so late. She was exhausted and had been waiting at the company gate until now.

"You came out? Why didn't I see you?"

"Stop pretending. This isn't the first time you've been late. You've never kept your promise to me. I've had enough of you!"

"I know I didn't do well before, but I really wasn't late this time. I waited at the door of your company at six o'clock, watching all the lights in the building slowly go out, but I didn't see you come out?" The man on the other end of the phone became more and more anxious: "Where are you? I can hear that your voice doesn't sound right. Did that old dog embarrass you again?!"

"He didn't make things difficult for me. I just feel tired." Huang Ling's speech slowed down. She looked out the window at the city covered by heavy rain. "Jia Ming, I'm not afraid of a hard and tiring life every day, but at least you have to give me a goal. I'm almost 30 years old. I don't want to work until 7 or 8 o'clock every night, and then take the last bus with only three or four people, and then go back to the rented house to cook for you."

"Xiaoling, I have found a way to make a fortune. We came to Jiujiang from our hometown together and have endured all these years. Please give me some more time."

Huang Ling looked at the heavy rain outside the window, her eyes somewhat numb: "Okay."

"Where are you? I'll pick you up now..."

Huang Ling hung up the phone before the man finished speaking and stuffed her phone into her backpack.

"Every family has its own problems." Xiao Gu sighed in his heart. He just saw Huang Ling dressed very fashionably and thought she was a rich person. But when he took a closer look, he found that most of what she was wearing were cheap knockoffs. She only looked very beautiful because of her good temperament.

"Ding! We have arrived at Hong's Restaurant. Passengers getting off the bus please take your belongings with you and get off from the back door."

The bus arrived at the next stop unknowingly and the front and rear doors opened.

No one got on the bus this time. Xiao Gu looked out of the window and saw that the crazy woman in the red raincoat was still on the platform, and she seemed to be a little closer to the bus.

"It's really a ghost." Xiao Gu was panicking. He was sitting near the back door. If the woman in the red raincoat got on the bus, he would be the first person to see her. "Is this woman following me home? She appears at every station. Will she wait for me at the terminal?"

The front and rear doors of the car began to close. When the rear door was about to close, a child coughed in the middle of the bus.

The middle-aged woman holding the child gently patted the child's back, but it was no use, the child coughed even more violently.

"It seems like the child has a fever. Do you know how to take care of the child? There is a big temperature difference between day and night. Why are you only letting the child wear a single piece of clothing?" Huang Ling felt a little annoyed when she heard the child coughing.

"I'm helping my relative take care of a child..." The middle-aged woman's voice was very rough, sounding like a man's. She forced an ugly smile, and did not feed the child medicine or water. She only patted the child on the back.

The child's cough was getting worse and worse, and his body was shaking slightly.

"It's better to send him directly to the hospital." Xiao Gu stood up, took off his coat, and handed it to the middle-aged woman: "Wrap the child first."

"Okay." The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, took the clothes and covered the child, but the child continued to cough.

Xiao Gu took his cell phone and the seventeen yuan he took out from his coat pocket and walked towards his seat.

The car door was closed tightly. Just as he was about to reach his seat, there was a "click" sound from the back door, and a skinny hand pressed against the door.

"The vehicle is starting. Please sit tight and hold on. Welcome to the No. 104 unmanned ticket bus. Passengers who are getting on the bus please move to the back door. The next stop is Liwan Mall."

An electronic synthesized sound rang out, the bus started, and the hand quickly disappeared.

"Can't anyone else see the woman in the raincoat?" Xiao Gu sat back in his seat. He looked back at the platform and the red figure was gradually becoming blurred.
