Meng Renshu's whole body felt cold as he sank deeper and deeper into darkness. There was a faint sound of wind beside his ears, and he couldn't make out which was up and down. He was just floating in some unknown space for a long time until something suddenly sucked his body in. 

The second he felt the familiar sensation, he knew he would see that bizarre dream again. 

In the next moment, when he opened his eyes, he was standing in what appeared to be a hallway. In front of him, there was a steel door with a plate "Autopsy Room" on top of it. The light on the plate was on, meaning there was currently an autopsy going on in the room.

Meng Renshu blinked his eyes several times while holding his head in confusion. He remembered being called here today to listen to the autopsy result, but his mind went blank suddenly. 

He sighed while rubbing his tired eyes. It had been three days ever since Li Caiyi's news of death, but sometimes he would still find himself zoning out without reason. Forget about maintaining a healthy lifestyle; he couldn't even sleep at night time anymore. Even when he covered himself with the blanket Li Caiyi usually used, there was just no trace of her left anymore.

Li Caiyi was truly gone from this world. His wife no longer exists in this world. When he realized that, his world suddenly looked bleak and desolate. 

Meng Renshu bit his lips harshly to suppress the aching in his chest when he was reminded of that fact once again. 

"Mr. Meng? Are you alright?"

Meng Renshu turned his head when he heard a low and deep voice coming from behind him. A middle-aged man with a scar on his hand looked at him inquisitively. 

"Ah, I'm sorry, Detective. I was zoning out a bit just now. Can you repeat what you just said?"

"You shouldn't push yourself too much. It hasn't been a day since your wife's funeral. You can just wait until the investigation results come out. There's no need to trouble yourself coming all the way here."

"No, please don't mind me. I couldn't stay still until I knew the identity of the man who died beside my wife. I should be the one apologizing since you have gotten in so much trouble to let me check on the man's body."

"You have been helping me a lot, Mr. Meng. If it weren't for the charity project you funded, my mother wouldn't make it to her treatment in time." 

Meng Renshu smiled bitterly. "Glad to know that I at least have done one good deed before."

"Yes? What do you mean by that?" The officer looked at Meng Renshu in confusion, but the latter only shook his head.

"Shall we enter now? The coroner must have been waiting for a while already." Meng Renshu said.

"Ah, yes. Let's enter now."

The officer opened the door for Meng Renshu and revealed the inside of the autopsy room, which reeked of chemical smell. He grimaced as he tried to suppress intense nausea coming from inhaling the damp and cold hair inside the room. This room's sensation reminded him of the morgue where he witnessed Li Caiyi's body condition, which evoked a terrible memory inside his head.

He wanted to finish his business and got out of the room as quickly as possible.

The officer walked up to the man in his late 40s, who was wearing a lab coat, medical glove, and mask, standing in the middle of the room. "Has the analysis already been finished?"

The coroner pulled the mask down slightly before he replied. "Yes. We have inspected the body, and it seemed this man had a rough background indeed."

Meng Renshu also walked over with his gaze nailed on the body laid on the autopsy table, which was covered with some fabric. 

When he heard his wife committed double suicide with someone, his first instinct was that this person must be the one who influenced Li Caiyi to do such a thing. He was determined to find out all the information available regarding this man. It was a shame that the man was already dead. 

"There isn't much to tell because his body was severely damaged, but he had scars all over his body, from the old one to the new one. It was a sign of a person leading a tough life. There was no sign of harmful substances in his blood, so it didn't seem like this man had ever used illegal drugs or anything like that. If only his body wasn't damaged to this extent, we probably could gain more information about him, though."

The officer received a file given by the coroner and examined it before turning his head to Meng Renshu. "Mr. Meng, I'm sorry. It seems the autopsy didn't bring many results after all."

"It's alright, but have you identified who this man is?"

"His citizen ID showed his name as Huang Zhen. However, given his criminal record, it was most likely he used a fake name. We are currently still waiting for further information from the forensic team to identify him."

"Are you sure there is no sign of him forcing or threatening my wife?"

"According to the CCTV footage from his apartment building, your wife seemed to follow him voluntarily. There was no coercion and no sign of fighting or struggle inside the apartment room, either."

Meng Renshu gritted his teeth, feeling extremely upset. He couldn't believe Li Caiyi would ever put a green hat on top of his head. Knowing his wife spent a night with another man made him furious to no end, yet he couldn't vent his anger or point his finger at anyone. 

What happened to Li Caiyi and this Huang Zhen that day was still a mystery, but Meng Renshu was sure that Li Caiyi wasn't the type of person who would cheat on him, just like what everyone thought. 

If only this man was still alive, Meng Renshu must have already beaten him to pulp and made sure he could never show his face in public anymore, but the subject of his hate was already gone from this world, along with Li Caiyi. 

"Mr. Meng. This man is a wanted criminal who has committed many crimes before. Apparently, he had no other family members left, but we found another clue from his apartment, which might be useful as our lead."

"Is that so? Please tell me."

"There was a high possibility that this man probably knew your wife beforehand."

Meng Renshu's eyes widened in surprise hearing that. "You mean, he deliberately targeted her because he knew she was Mrs. Meng?"

"Not necessarily. There's a possibility he didn't recognize your wife as Mrs. Meng but as someone else.. After we did a thorough investigation, we found out that this man most likely attended the same high school as her."
