Chapter Seventy-Six: The Lost Body
Xu Aqi bought xiaolongbao at the bun shop outside the hospital, and several people went up to the five-story ward area. At the door of the ward, Xu Aqi answered a phone call, it was from the unit, saying that there was an emergency, she handed over the bun to Lin Chen, and hurried back to the unit.
Lin Chen returned to the ward, found a plastic bag, divided a part of the bun, and left it for Ye Jiangchuan's father.
"Is he better?"
The fat man stood in the doorway, poking his head out and looking in.
"Well, it's visitation time, you can come in! Go and see for yourself! Lin Chen said.
The fat man tiptoed forward and couldn't help but take a breath. But seeing Ye Jiangchuan's dark and yellow face, his eyes were closed, and various tubes were wrapped around his body, from another angle, it was no different from a corpse.
"Why, aren't you busy today? Got some time to come over? Lin Chen asked.
"Busy! No matter how busy I am, I have to come over! Ye Jiangchuan was because he ran for me! I can just come and see him! The fat man said.
"How's the talk with the team about the full reimbursement?"
"They told me to come back and wait for news! Let's talk about it! The fat man stood up, straightened his back, and paced back and forth in the room a few steps, his face pale.
"These people are really enough for grandchildren! If Ye Jiangchuan hadn't been for work, he wouldn't have run to that evil place where birds don't! It wouldn't have happened! If something happens, they'll all hide! I can't even afford to pay for medical expenses! These people are really not things! They must pay the medical expenses in full, otherwise, I will sue them! No, just go to the law! Who's afraid of whom! ”
"Shh
Lin Chen put his finger in front of his mouth and motioned for him to whisper, the fat man glanced at Lin Chen, then at Ye Jiangchuan who was lying on the bed, nodded his head, and sat back on the side of the bed gently.
"Water!"
A voice came from Ye Jiangchuan's throat.
"Water! He can speak! The fat man's eyes lit up with excitement, "Quick, quick, where is the water?" ”
"There's nothing new about that! He's been saying it for days. ”
Lin Chen handed over the water cup, and along with it, there was a small spoon, "Feed it little by little, don't choke him!" Don't feed too much, the doctor said that it is okay to moisturize! ”
The fat man helped him feed him some water, and Ye Jiangchuan seemed to calm down.
There was originally a patient in this not too big ward, but because he couldn't stand Ye Jiangchuan's interference, he moved to another ward, and a bed was vacated, Lin Chen moved a chair and sat over, and his movements were extremely light.
"Did the doctor give me the cause?" The fat man asked in a whisper.
Lin Chen shook his head and sighed softly, "I don't know, did you say it could be caused by a car accident that caused meningitis?" ”
Lin Chen is not a doctor, and he occasionally hears and doesn't understand the communication between doctors, which he understands means that brain bacteria have devoured a part of the cerebral cortex and affected his brain activity. Is this the cause?
He only knew that the longer Ye Jiangchuan was in a coma, the more likely he was to become a vegetative person.
"It's so dark! Where am I? Mud, water... ”
Ye Jiangchuan muttered in his mouth.
"Ye Jiangchuan, wake up!" The fat man blurted out.
"Stop screaming, it's useless! He couldn't wake up, it was like this all the time, one sentence at a time, one sentence from the east, one sentence from the west, and he couldn't figure out what he was talking about. Sometimes it looks like nonsense, sometimes it doesn't look like it, and the words are very organized, I can't figure it out! ”
Ye Jiangchuan's mouth "Uh-huh-ahh Let's go! If you don't go, I'll hit you! There was a loud 'bang'. . The world is spinning.. ”
Lin Chen stabbed the fat man, "Did you hear that?" I really don't know who the 'you' he is talking about! I've heard him say that several times! I feel as if someone has been in his dreams! ”
The fat man silently looked at Ye Jiangchuan on the bed, and said to Lin Chen: "Listen to the driver who drove the car, Master Wang, they saw some strange people standing on the road when they came back from Lao Mokou!" ”
"Weird?"
With Lin Chen's thinking, if a person appears on the highway, it is a violation of the traffic law, and a group of people appear on the highway, which is a bit incredible! Unless there is some special situation, and the fat man uses the word "strange" to describe this group of people, there must be some reason for this, and he is very curious about it.
The fat man glanced at Ye Jiangchuan, stood up, and in order not to disturb the patient's rest, the fat man pulled Lin Chen out of the ward.
"Lin Chen, let me tell you, it's good if you know! Don't tell anyone! If you talk about it, people will think you're talking nonsense! There is a problem with the nerves! ”
Lin Chen nodded.
"It's not too much to say that these people are weird! I heard the driver say that on the way back, I don't know what happened, and while I drove the car, the surrounding vehicles were gone! Just when they were wondering, it was drizzling and the front glass was blurry, and when they wiped it clean, there was such a group of people on the road, still dressed strangely! ”
"What are they wearing?" Lin Chen asked.
"I heard that some people in it are wearing old-fashioned clothes from more than a hundred years ago, cheongsams, horse coats and whatever!" The fat man said.
Lin Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Listen, it's quite strange! It's somewhat similar to my experience, though! ”
"What? Have you seen these people too? ”
"In the dream, in the bizarre dream, I dreamed that on the way to watch the movie with Xu Aqi, I tracked an old lady, and while walking, the old lady disappeared! Xu Aqi reminded me, I just noticed the strangeness of the people around me, and it was the same as what you said, wearing old-fashioned clothes, and looking at it again, I almost didn't scare the two of us to death! There were yellow and white chrysanthemums all around, and those people were staring at the two of us! Terrible! ”
"Huh? It's scary! Yellow, white chrysanthemums aren't for the dead! Also, those people are staring at you, and they don't want to stare at you two anymore! ”
"By the way, I dreamed of you!" Lin Chen said suddenly.
The fat man opened his mouth, stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Chen.
"Dude! Come on! Please! You must, don't dream of me! The people who appeared in your dreams sound like dead ghosts from a hundred years ago! I can't be with them! ”
The fat man's words made Lin Chen laugh. He patted the fat man on the shoulder, "I didn't mean to! I dreamed of you before they appeared! ”
The fat man sighed, "That's good! ”
"However, I dreamed that you called me, and it turned out that you actually called me later! I've dreamed of what you're going to talk to me! ”
The fat man scratched the back of his head, blinked and said, "I remember!" I said how you know everything, it turns out that you have a premonition come true! Lin Chen, you are not ordinary! You're not an ordinary person! ”
"A fortune teller told me that!" Lin Chen smiled and said, "By the way, you haven't finished yet!" Those people appeared on the road, and what happened later? ”
Later, the driver honked his horn and the men left, only a woman in black refused to leave! also said that the woman had been staring at Ye Jiangchuan! ”
"Huh? And here's the thing! It's a woman in black again! Why is he staring at Ye Jiangchuan? Lin Chen asked.
The fat man found a bench and sat down, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to correct it, I can't stare at him, I should look at him with 'resentful eyes'!" This is what the driver master particularly emphasized! ”
Lin Chen opened his mouth, and squeezed out two words from his mouth for a long time, "Grudge?" ”
The fat man nodded silently.
"Excuse me? Ye Jiangchuan, this kid and the woman in black, have a leg? Lin Chen said.
"I don't think the driver, Master Wang, will use such a word casually! He also asked us in particular, could this woman have had any relationship with Ye Jiangchuan! ”
"That's what I thought too! And then? ”
Later, there was a strange scene! When the driver drove past the woman, he could still see her, drive over, look through the mirror again, and the woman is gone! ”
Hearing this, Lin Chen took a breath!
"What do you say? She's gone so soon! ”
The fat man said, "Yes! We all thought it was incredible! Later, at a bend, the car was not driving fast at that time, Ye Jiangchuan was wearing a seat belt but flew out of the co-pilot's position inexplicably, and after landing, he whirled, crashed into the curb of the road, and was squeezed between the car and the wall, lucky! If the car had passed a little longer, it would have squeezed him to death! It's been an incredible fluke! There was no injury on his body, he kept convulsing, and the doctor was worried that it was an internal injury, and no one expected that there would be epileptic symptoms, alas! ”
"Hmmm! It's weird! Lin Chen said.
Listening to the fat man's description, Lin Chen felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, and he was dizzy.
He thought of the appearance of the woman in black in the subway, one after another, too many incredible things happened to him and his friends, in the dark, there seemed to be a huge black net that opened in it, covering him and his friends, and they couldn't see her true face at all.
Horror is with you!
Lin Chen closed his eyes dejectedly.
"Alas!" The fat man sighed and continued: "It's just because it's too weird, some leaders above think that it shouldn't be considered a work injury!" What the fuck! What kind of business is this? ”
"It's okay, according to my experience, working hours, disability at work is a work injury! Sooner or later, they'll have to pay the full amount, so don't worry too much! ”
Lin Chen looked at the table below, the time was not early, and his stomach was also drumming.
"Let's go back to the ward, before the doctor comes to check the ward, let's eat the buns first!"
With that, the two of them went back to the ward.
A few small buns went down, Lin Chen felt that he was still not full, he took an instant noodle from the bag, tore it open, turned around and went out to the hot water room to pick up some hot water, and soaked the noodles.
Rinsing with cold water after the last burn is considered a timely care. Now, his hands are much better, and he has removed the gauze, but he still has occasional pains, especially when he is carrying things. Therefore, all these actions, he must be done carefully.
It was almost noon, and there were not too many people in the corridor, so it was estimated that the family members had gone to eat.
Lin Chen took the instant noodles and found a row of rest chairs to sit down, and next to him sat a middle-aged man in a brown jacket, looking like he was forty or fifty years old.
He seemed to have finished eating, burping, crossing Erlang's legs, a few of the newspapers spread out were placed on his laps, and he was reading one in his hand.
Lin Chen lifted the paper lid on the instant noodles, picked a noodle with chopsticks and blew on it, and tasted it, but the noodles were still hard and not soaked through.
He took the spice bag out of his pocket, tore it open, poured it in, and closed the lid.
Lin Chen had nothing to do, looking east and west, waiting for his face to soften completely, he squinted at the newspaper of the person next to him, and the sub-headline of the newspaper read:
The body of the murder in the new crescent moon community disappeared mysteriously...
Murder in the Crescent Moon!
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.
"Excuse me, sir, can you lend me this newspaper of yours?" Lin Chen said politely.
The man glanced at Lin Chen, didn't speak, and directly handed over the newspaper.
Lin Chen quickly scanned the news with his eyes.
The newspaper roughly wrote: The body of the victim in the murder in the Xinjian Crescent Community mysteriously disappeared in the freezer, and a woman's shoe was found at the scene.
The title has very little text, and there is no special detail, just that the bodies of the two murdered men, a woman and a man are missing, and the police are reluctant to disclose more details.
"Crescent Crescent Community!"
Lin Chen was particularly sensitive to these words, and couldn't help but say them to himself.
After handing the newspaper to Lin Chen, the person next to him kept his eyes closed and recuperated, and when he heard Lin Chen's words, he opened his eyes and glanced over here, and asked casually, "What?" You're also from the Crescent Crescent Community? ”
"It's not!"
Lin Chen shook the newspaper, "I read it like this!" ”
"Oh!"
"Listening to you, you should be from the Crescent Crescent Community, right?"
"Hmmm! I moved in years ago! ”
"Oh! Where do you live? Lin Chen flipped through the newspaper and made a "whoosh" sound. "I'm sorry, I didn't interfere with your rest, did I?"
"Well, it's fine! I am also a family member of a patient, the ward is too crowded, and the air is not good! It's quieter here. ”
"Yes! That's not the case in hospitals! ”
Lin Chen's noodles were almost soaked, he lifted the lid, and a smell of instant noodles hit.
"This stuff isn't nutritious!"
The man next to him continued.
"Know! Alas! This place, if you can make up, make up! Just fill your stomach! ”
"I thought we were neighbors! Have you heard about the recent murder in the crescent community? ”
"I read the newspaper report, a man and a woman died, quite young, it's a pity!" Lin Chen said.
The man was silent for a while, and then said, "I live in that neighborhood, and I live next to them!" ”
"Huh? Didn't you notice anything that day? ”
Lin Chen stopped stirring and raised his eyes to look at the man.
"No, the police have all looked for me, I really don't know anything! That's a strange thing to say! Those two died for no reason! If you were their neighbor, wouldn't you be afraid? ”
"Do you need to ask! It's good if you know what's going on, but I'm afraid I don't know, I don't know, I love to be foolish, and the more I know, the more scared I become, this policeman is really straw! Such a bizarre case has not been explained to the public until now! ”
Lin Chen sighed and said, "These two young people are quite pitiful!" ”
"Yes! Hey, tell me, who stole the body? What the hell do you want this thing for! It's really a thief who can steal corpses! Besides, it's too late for others to be taboo, and there are still people who want this! What's even more evil is that the body was stolen from under the noses of the police! These policemen are really useless, they can't solve the case for so long, not to mention, in the end, they can't even look at the corpse of a murder case! What else can you do! It's useless! ”
