C19 It may not be clear after the rain
I was about to run after him when a thought flashed through my mind and I stopped at the corner and changed direction.
When I returned to the place where Dean Dong and the others were gathered, I was going to look for the body that had disappeared, but it was probably because of what Luo Ling had said that made me start to have doubts about everyone at the scene. I sat on a stool and fiddled with my cell phone while watching the news report of the disaster and losses caused by the rain tonight.
Every time you hurt nature, you are a man of cultural knowledge, but every time nature feeds back the damage to the working peasants and the poor homeless people.
At this moment, he didn't know where the person sleeping under the bridge without a family was …
When I looked at my cell phone, although my main focus was on it, I kept an eye on the people around me. They seemed to have forgotten what had happened that night, and there were a few people smoking and chatting around a flashlight.
There were also some people who took these matters lightly and covered their bodies with a piece of white cloth before falling asleep. Only the dean was still dealing with the task at hand. When I raised my head to look at him, he almost noticed me and hurriedly retracted his gaze.
After a busy day, no matter how energetic a person was, they were still unable to withstand the attacks of the Nightmare. My phone was still showing news reports of the dusk, and my eyes had closed many times in the short span of four minutes.
I shook my head, tapped my temples with my hands to prevent myself from falling asleep, but I couldn't get rid of the sleep. Just as I was about to fall asleep, a person approached me slowly.
He handed over a wet towel. "Wipe it with this. Wipe your face. It should be better." He looked at me and I looked at him, hesitating to take the towel. I didn't know what Luo Ling meant by that, but it made me doubt everyone in the room. I thanked him and took the towel. Dean Dong sat down beside me.
He didn't look like someone I should have been careful about, but the wrinkles on his face when he smiled became a sign of kindness. I carefully wiped my face with a towel, feeling comfortable and somewhat effective, and rubbed my face vigorously.
I wrapped the towel around my neck. Dean Dong kept staring at me, making me feel a little awkward. He suddenly said something meaningful, "If my daughter was still alive, how great would it be to be able to find a son-in-law like you?"
I was embarrassed to ask him about his daughter. He told me that his daughter had died in an accident three years ago.
I looked into his eyes with love and didn't know what to say, so I had to apologize to him for unconsciously offending him.
"It's alright. It's already been three years and I'm used to living without her. I still have a son, but he's already 15 this year. Besides, I was the one who brought it up, so don't take it to heart." He patted me on the back, and when I tried to comfort him, he changed the subject and asked me why I'd chosen to be a cop. I didn't look to be more than twenty-five.
"Come on, don't laugh at me." Hearing his question, I couldn't help but laugh, because to me, my original intention of becoming a police officer was actually very simple:
"Wasn't it just a popular suspense novel back then in junior high school? Usually, the police are pretty good in this kind of stories, so I spent all my time reading novels in class. From then on, I felt that the role of a police officer was especially interesting, so when I went to college, I applied for the police academy."
"Although my cultural results are not good, but my knowledge of criminal investigation is valued highly by my mentor, so I entered a police academy. After graduation, I was assigned to the police station in Chongyang City as a police officer." I think about the silly things I did in junior high and senior high and I still want to laugh, but there are a lot of things about college that I don't know why, I can't remember.
"This is the same thing that my son saw in cartoons, he said he wanted to be Ultraman, haha..." It's just that what you can achieve is impossible for him. At most, I can buy him a few toys. " He laughed, and so did I.
He asked me a lot more questions later. Although I was still on guard against the others, I completely gave up on Director Dong. He asked me a lot of questions about the police, and I told him everything.
"I didn't expect that the difficulty of the case this time would be so high. Right now there are more and more clues which rarely come up with anything." I complained that indeed, this case seemed to be different from the cases I had resolved in the past. I wasn't even sure if I could solve this case.
"The case will definitely be solved. No case will be placed with a tombstone hidden in the ground. There will always be a chance for it to be unearthed." When he finished, he stood up with difficulty with his hands on his knees. "It's almost dawn. I'm going to see if the rain has stopped."
I looked out the window at the sky. The carp in the east had begun to blush, and the rain was still falling in twos and threes. The long night had finally passed, and things were finally coming to an end.
The sky finally lit up, and everyone put away their flashlight. The rain was getting smaller and smaller, until it completely stopped around seven in the morning. Everyone dispersed from the room.
I asked Dean Dong if there was any security guard Song Tao's number. After thinking for a while, he shook his head, "Although there aren't many security guards in the hospital, I don't have the Song Tao's number that you mentioned."
I was still thinking of where I could find him and get him to help search for the corpse, but I didn't think that there would be no way to contact him. Principal Dong said that although he couldn't help me, he would give me the head security officer's phone number.
After I dialed the number, I asked, "Are you Security Officer Chen?" The answer he gave me was that I asked him if he knew Song Tao's current location. According to my thinking, all the security guards should have a walkie-talkie.
"You're talking about Song Tao? "There's no such person in our security department. Is there a mistake?" He was still asking questions on the walkie-talkie, but he still didn't give me an answer like Song Tao.
If not for Song Tao, then who exactly was the security guard who guided me last night, Song Tao? Why did he lie to me? The strangest thing is that if he wanted to lie to me, he definitely had a purpose. However, his actions last night were also of no benefit to him.
I didn't care that much. Although this mental hospital is large, the door is tightly locked. As long as the door isn't opened, there's a high chance that Song Tao will still be in the hospital. I will definitely meet him today.
From the third floor to the first floor, the rain had stopped completely, except for the eaves, which were still dripping slowly and causing ripples in the water. After cleaning the plugging drainpipes on the ground, the calm water began to pick up speed, forming a small whirlpool at the mouth of the cave. The leaves on the trees shook as if they were free to float on the surface of the water, but they were caught up in the whirlpool.
He told me that things had settled down over there, but he didn't know it was only the beginning.
As I talked, I strolled around the hospital. In the corridor on the second floor of the laboratory building, I saw a doctor in a white coat, a headless body lying on the surgical bed, blood dripping from his neck, blood like raindrops forming a puddle on the floor.
