Chapter 5 Abandoned Fire Escapes
In the Chongqing Municipal Library, I sat in the library with a cup of instant coffee, in front of a thick pile of newspapers, all of which were 2,000 years old, because I heard from Yu Dan that the hospital where she worked had been rebuilt ten years ago.
So if anything really happened, it would have been a matter of nine years. I drank my coffee and looked at the thick stack of newspapers in front of me, sighed, and began to rummage through the pages.
Two hours went by in a flash, and I didn't sleep all night, although I used to stay up late, but in the last year, because of the opening of bars and sleeping pills, I now sleep a little upside down, and the day is when I sleep.
Drinking coffee didn't do much use, but thankfully, the emperor paid off and finally found some useful information in a newspaper from fifteen years ago.
The time of this report is 1995, when Chongqing has not yet become a municipality directly under the central government, and there is not a single picture in the whole report, except that a fire almost destroyed half of the office building, and burned to death more than 30 doctors and nurses, including the president.
After this incident, the vice president of the hospital took over the position of director and became the number one, and then announced the reconstruction of the hospital, and expanded a lot on the original foundation. It seems that the closure of the morgue happened at this time.
I thought about it for a moment, read the report carefully, and when I was done, I put down the newspaper, picked up the coffee on the table, and took a sip. From a modern perspective, I found a few doubts in this report. First of all, the place where the fire was reported was in the office building.
Then the dean's office and the vice president's office should be together, and if they are not together, they should be two rooms adjacent or very close to each other.
But why did the dean burn to death, but the vice president was unscathed? And it was reported that the vice president was also in the office at the time. In this case, either the vice president is the water baby in the gourd baby, who can spray water. Either the vice president had known that there would be a fire, so he escaped.
The second strange thing is that after this office building burned down, a building was rebuilt on the foundation of this office building, which is the emergency building where Yu Dan now works, but why is there a morgue under the previous office building? Could it be that the people in this hospital have brain problems and have to build the morgue under the office building?
These two questions really make me a little confused. After sitting in the library for a while, I had a solution in my head. Then he drained the cup of coffee and left the library.
I walked to the street and asked for a bowl of noodles at a random shop, and while eating, I thought of a way to enter the emergency room.
I ate noodles and called Yu Dan and asked her to help me get a set of clothes for the cleaners in the hospital, plus a car that the cleaners used for cleaning.
Although Yu Dan didn't know what I was going to do, he still agreed very happily. Let me go straight to the emergency room of the hospital to find her in a moment.
I finished the noodles, then paid and took a taxi to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, Yu Dan was already standing at the door of the emergency building waiting for me. Seeing me coming over, Yu Dan asked curiously, "What do you want these things for?" Instead of answering her, I smiled a little: "Okay! I didn't expect you, a little nurse, to find these! ”
Seeing that I didn't answer, Yu Dan didn't continue to ask, rolled her eyes and looked at me and said, "What! I got it in the cleaning room of the hospital, and there were a lot of these clothes in it. ”
I laughed, then put on my clothes, hat and mask, and wrapped myself tightly. "Okay, it's nothing to do with you, go back to sleep, stay up all night." After I finished talking to Yu Dan, I didn't pay attention to her, and Yu Dan saw that I wasn't saying anything to her, so I had to leave the emergency room in a huff.
I got dressed and pushed the cart slowly into the emergency room. The reason why I want to dress up like this is to make it easier to go to places that I can't normally go into. In many places, people will be kicked out when they go in, or it will make people suspicious, but a cleaner will not make people feel that there is anything wrong.
After I walked into the emergency building, I first walked around the hall, and the whole hall was full of people, many people were queuing, and the corridors of the duty room were also full of people, and there were many patients living in the wards on both sides of the corridor. It's completely different from last night's emptiness.
Slowly I came to the elevator last night, after pressing the elevator door button, I pushed the car into the elevator, the button on the elevator door is very strange only the positive number of floors and did not go down. So why did I find that the elevator was going down as soon as I entered the elevator last night?
Confused, I opened the elevator door and pushed the car out of the elevator again. I pushed the cart to the location of the staircase of the hospital's emergency building, which also started from the first floor where I was and went up, and there was no trace of it leading down.
After seeing this, I couldn't help but wonder if I was really wrong? Is there really no underground in this building? But if there was no underground, how would I explain what happened last night? Ghosts will never give you something for no reason.
If there weren't an underground, the ghost wouldn't have made one for you out of thin air. Did I think wrong, or did the ghost I encountered this time not play according to the routine?
Just when I was puzzled, a doctor of a very old grade came up to me: "Young man, our fire escape is blocked by debris, you can see when you go to clean up, otherwise something will be in danger." ”
After hearing this, I was stunned! Well? And fire escapes? Could it be that there is also a staircase? I quickly nodded at the doctor and said, "Well, I just came, where is the fire escape in our emergency building?" I'm going to clean up now. ”
The doctor looked at me and didn't suspect it, but pointed me in a direction, which is the southeast corner of the emergency building, and said, "It's the stairs over there, let's clean it." ”
I nodded, and pushed the cart that way. Sure enough, after passing through the corridor, there was indeed a long-standing iron door in the southeast corner.
I went over and pushed open the iron door, which was unlocked, and with a creaking sound, I walked into the so-called fire escape, which was dimly lit, except for a small light bulb emitting a faint yellow light. The whole staircase looks very old, and the main thing is that on the first floor where I am now, this stairwell has a staircase that leads down.
Although a wall was built by a bunch of turns, I could tell that this stairwell had a staircase below. I took advantage of the faint light in the stairwell to carefully avoid the debris on the building, and then slowly walked up.
The stairwell still leads to every floor of the emergency building, but each floor has an iron door that blocks the passage to the floor. I tried to push the iron doors and found that they couldn't be pushed open, so I had to give up.
I also found a strange place in the stairwell, this stairwell looks like it is not too old, but the paint on the staircase handrail is really new, and it should not have been painted for a long time.
I took out a knife from my pocket and tried to scrape it on the staircase handrail, and after hanging up the paint on it, it revealed the original inside, and the entire staircase handrail was clearly visible from the fire. Sure enough, this so-called fire escape should be the staircase in the office building from fifteen years ago.
It seems that what I found in the library was correct, and the building was indeed rebuilt on the original foundation. Although it was daytime, and it was more than ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun was hanging high in the sky outside, this stairwell gave people a feeling of coldness in addition to coldness.
I shuddered, and slowly walked back to the first floor. Standing at the top of the brick-blocked staircase to the ground, I looked carefully at the wall.
Now, no matter how curious I am, I can't push this wall in, firstly, because I can't collapse a masonry wall, and secondly, it's better not to go in if I don't know what's inside.
After thinking about it for a while, I took out a charm from my pocket and pasted it on the wall, and I had a vague guess in my mind, as for whether this guess was right or not, let's see what happened tonight.
After the charm, I pushed the cart out of the stairwell, closed the iron door by the way, and left the hospital, but I didn't see that after I left, the old doctor also entered the stairwell.
The man stood motionless in front of the wall where I had attached, stared at my charm for a moment, then turned and left the stairwell, and then looked at my distant back and said to himself, "What a man who knows how to spell, alas! What should I do? These things below are almost overwhelmed! ”
The man saw me leave the hospital, turned around and went upstairs, and after walking a few floors, came to the door of an office, took out the key, and opened the door. The sign in front of the door of that office reads: Dean's Office.
By this time I had already taken a taxi out of the hospital, returned to my own little bar, and fell asleep in bed.
