C18 Suspicious conversation
Where did the body go? Also, I have never believed that there was such a thing as a fake corpse. Many of the videos of the dead bodies were very easy to explain, because they had to be stored at a very low temperature. Some of the corpses would stay in a unique position for a long time, causing their muscles to tense up.
Most of the time, as long as the temperature was slightly higher, the tension in the muscles would slightly loosen. This way, the spring-like corpse would suddenly move, also known as a bogus corpse.
It was impossible for a corpse to come to life, not to mention that all the control the human body had came from the brain. This corpse did not have any brain, so how could it move?
However, no one answered my question as to who it was.
I called Principal Dong to the side alone. The old man was around sixty years old, but his movements were quite nimble. He followed behind me, and the two of us avoided the crowded crowd and entered a quiet corner.
I took out two cigarettes and offered him one, but he declined, and he told me that he had quit smoking early because he was a doctor and that smoking was bad. I stuck one in my ear, put the other in my mouth, took out a lighter from my pocket, and lit the cigarette.
"Dean, can you tell me what happened?" I blew out a smoke ring and was blown away by the wind before it was even formed.
"I don't know what's going on either. You said that I've been a dean for almost ten years, but I've never encountered such a thing. The things that have happened in the past two days have left me extremely busy." He put on a look of helplessness, and I took another drag on my cigarette.
"Can you tell me what happened when I was away? "I don't need to know. I just want you to tell me everything that happened during that time, and whether you saw any suspicious people during that time." He shook his head after listening to my question without hesitation. He told me that at that time he had been so preoccupied with dealing with the body that he hadn't noticed any suspicious people around him.
After he gave me an affirmative answer, he told me, "At that time, we were all gathered around the corpse and wrapped it in plastic as per your instructions. However, no one knew how to deal with the corpse, so we kept a distance from the corpse and didn't touch it."
"As the principal, what I need to do is to stabilize the situation, and my subordinates have many doctors discussing about it. I don't know why, but some people are guessing that you came to the hospital, and it's not just to look after the suspect, but also to find out very early on that there is a potential killer in this hospital, and some people are even suspecting that you're the culprit …"
I took a long drag on the cigarette and tossed the tail of the cigarette into the air. It was so light that it got wet from the rain, and the moment it hit the water, the flame went out with a long hissing sound.
He opened the cup of water he had been holding in his hand, took a sip, and continued, "At that time, we didn't know what to do, since the flashlight was limited, so many people were discussing what to do tonight, until that little girl suddenly rushed in, and we had no idea what she was up to. In the end, she rushed up with a knife in her hand, and stabbed Zhang Shu.
After she was done, before anyone could even react, she was already running out. Then, a doctor ran out after her, and we didn't know that the situation was urgent. A group of people chased after her, and then sent Zhang Qing to deal with the wounds … There were also two doctors, I have no idea who stayed behind. "
After he said this, I roughly understood the situation. It was during the time that An Xuan and I met and separated, An Xuan actually didn't go up to the fourth floor but stayed on the same floor. She always thought that Zhang Shu was the demon that killed her parents, but she didn't know that she was the demon that killed her own parents.
I suddenly thought of a question. If the situation was as Dean Dong had said, then would anyone know who rushed out of the room first? I asked the dean, but he didn't know, and since I couldn't directly ask the remaining doctors, I could only swallow this question down. Even if I knew who that person was, I wouldn't be able to get any leads.
I thanked Dean Dong and let him go back. I stood under the eaves and watched the rain that never stopped, and from the looks of it, it seemed that the rain wouldn't end until tomorrow morning. I didn't know how Ding Xu was at home, so I took out my phone and dialed her number.
Actually, it wasn't that strange. I had forgotten about the time and it was already midnight. The other party must have definitely gone to sleep, so it wasn't wrong for me to turn off my phone.
Abandoning the call, I put the phone back in my pocket, and suddenly a hand came to rest on my shoulder. I grabbed the wrist quickly, reflexively, and overpowered him. After a series of movements, I was able to make out the face of the person in front of me, which turned out to be Luo Ling.
"Your reaction is a bit too big, right?" After I apologized to him, he asked me if I had a cigarette. I took the one that was stuck in my ear and handed it to him, then lit it for him. He took a long drag and held it in his hand for a long time.
"I haven't smoked in a long time, I'm really not used to it now." He smiled and shook the cigarette in his hand, then took another drag.
I asked him how long he'd been here, and he shook his head and said he couldn't remember the months, it must have been three years, but in fact he'd been back to normal for a long time, relieved by the crimes he'd committed. He didn't tell me why he wanted to stay, he just spat out a few words.
I laughed and said, "I didn't think I'd be talking peacefully with a criminal and smoking a cigarette in this situation." He shrugged off his cigarette.
"Actually, it's not that big of a deal. My current situation is no different from going to jail. I'm sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a young girl. I think I should have eaten more than ten guns long ago. Something like me that's inferior to pigs and dogs." When he said that he had committed a crime, he looked indifferent, as if it were all so simple. I didn't expect that he, the criminal, would see more than the police did, and I wanted to know his past.
I asked him if he had ever thought about going out, but the answer he gave me was actually very simple, "If he had ever wanted to go out, then life here is really too boring, staying in a small space every day, doing nothing, occasionally being able to write books and read books, but wanting to go back to the life of a wanderer …"
He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, explaining why he couldn't leave this place. "If I leave here, that person will kill me," he said.
Although I didn't know who the person he was talking about was and I didn't know what was going on, he didn't seem to be lying. I wanted to ask him something more, but he just signalled to me not to say anything more. He patted me on the shoulder and said that he would leave first.
I watched a slip of paper slip off my shoulder, and I grabbed it quickly and unfolded it. The note was short: Beware of this hospital...
I stared at his back as he walked further and further away into the darkness. He just said that he was used to staying here, so why did he ask me to be careful of this hospital … I was beginning to get confused.
Just as I was deep in my thoughts, a light sound came from behind me. I turned around and saw a black shadow disappear.
