Chapter 283: The Secret of the Hospital (2)
The crescent moon shuttles through the gloomy clouds.
At night, the Xin'an Hospital was draped in a veil of mystery, and the smell of the medicine that irritated the nasal cavity seemed to become stronger than during the day.
Bai Xiaohan, who was standing in front of the door of the morgue, seemed to be awakened to the memories of Bai Yilin, looked at the door full of the aura of death, and clenched his fists.
"Teacher Whiteβ" Star Swirl whispered, "are you alright?" β
"She's not here anymore, I can't feel her breath." Bai Xiaohan was a little melancholy, and after a pause, he firmly pushed open the door in front of him.
Star Swirl wasn't here for the first time, and she was prepared.
The beam of the flashlight swept through the rows of cold morgues, and there was nothing unusual in the room. In the dead silence, only the sound of the two of them breathing.
"I don't think Qin Mo came here because he was interested in human anatomy." Bai Xiaohan said in a deep voice.
"So sure?" Star Swirl looked around, a chill running down her spine.
"On his desk, there is not a single book on anatomy," Bai Xiaohan pointed his flashlight at the bottom row of morgues, "It seems that the answer is here." β
The column on the morgue with the name of the deceased reads: "Liu Haorui, male, 13 years old".
Time seemed to stand still, and both of them froze in place, but Hao Rui's dark eyes and the cold smile on his lips appeared in their minds at the same time.
Trembling for a moment, Star Swirl sneezes.
"It's cold here, don't you catch a cold, right?" Bai Xiaohan asked in a normal tone.
"It doesn't matter," Star Swirl waved her hand, "Mr. Bai, could this be the person we're looking for?" β
"I hope not, but the name and age match perfectly." Bai Xiaohan said as he leaned down to open the door of the morgue.
"Wait!" Star Swirl suddenly grabbed Bai Xiaohan's arm, a look of horror on her face, "It looks like someone is watching us from behind." β
The hallway outside the door was deserted, and the branches of the trees swaying in the wind cast ghostly figures on the windows. The moonlight shines through the clouds, sometimes stingily to the lattice, sometimes stingily obscuring all its brilliance.
"Do you see clearly?" Bai Xiaohan looked towards the end of the corridor.
Star Swirl nodded firmly, "That figure is about as tall as you, and it looks like a woman. β
"Ignore her for now." Bai Xiaohan returned to the morgue and opened the freezer on the ground floor without hesitation.
Empty! Completely unexpected, it was so empty that there wasn't even a single hair missing.
"What's going on? Corpse fraud? Star Swirl suddenly remembered Ai Ying, who had been cursed by the ashes of the elf, and her hair stood on end.
Bai Xiaohan's fingers gently stroked the surface of the morgue, and she closed her eyes as if she was feeling something. After a long time, she said with certainty: "Unlike the previous situation, the corpse should not have undergone any abnormalities. β
"Could it be... Has it been stolen? Star Swirl shuddered, though she had heard of some people with a peculiar fetish for corpses. Now that I have really met it, my stomach has begun to turn upside down.
"Let's go," Bai Xiaohan noticed Star Swirl's somewhat pale face, "I'll come back tomorrow to confirm the owner of this corpse." β

Back in the apartment, Star Swirl is physically and mentally exhausted, and after roughly recounting the situation at Heartpeace Hospital with Mr. X, she lies down on the bed.
The computer screen in the living room flashed blue faintly, and the man's expression became a little cold, and his eyes stayed on the news headline half a month ago: The body of the morgue of Xin'an Hospital was stolen, and there were no suspicious people in the surveillance.
In the middle of the night, I woke up from the chaos again.
Like a black hand, reaching into the dark waters of eternity, scooping up the long snake-like hair and the sleeping Star Swirl.
The scalp was tearing like pain, until the whole person was pulled out of the water by the bell, a white light illuminated the eyelids, and the boundless black water around him subsided, leaving only the familiar me to the ceiling.
"How can there be a sound of wind chimes..."Star Swirl seemed to see the wind chimes dangling from the windowsill in her hazy vision, "Strange. When she rubbed her eyes and looked again, the wind chimes were gone.
For the first time in months, she couldn't remember what had happened in her dreams, and she pressed her swollen temples, her headache still not subsided.
The door was pushed open, and his voice was like a medicine, suddenly stabilizing Star Swirl's mind, "Awake? Xiao Han is waiting for you outside. β
"She doesn't have to pick me up every time," Star Swirl muttered to herself, realizing that it might not be that simple.
Hao Rui is the same as Mr. X, and Mr. X is the same as herself, from the beginning she was destined not to be a bystander.
"Dreaming again?" Mr. X's gaze falls on Star Swirl's hesitant little face.
She looked at Mr. X a little blankly: "I should have dreamed of something, but... Can't remember. β
A trace of doubt flashed in her blue eyes, and then she comforted: "It's normal not to remember, don't be sad." β
"Do I have one?" Star Swirl looks up at him.
The big hand rubbed hard twice on the top of her head: "Don't think about it. β
Seeing that Star Swirl was exhausted, Bai Xiaohan glanced hesitantly at Mr. X and asked, "There are new clues about Pei Yue, I want Star Swirl to do me a little favor." β
"What clues?" Star Swirl asked, yawning.
"Pei Yue actually has a half-brother, and we found out that he suddenly increased his father's insurance amount a few months ago, which is very suspicious."
"Neither brother nor sister are good people," Star Swirl was surprised, "but does her brother's actions have anything to do with Pei Yue's disappearance?" β
"I guess it's related," Bai Xiaohan replied after thinking about it, "If Pei Yue had to leave her father who was paralyzed in bed because of revenge against Wen Xiaoxiao, then this is the right time for her brother to make a move." β
"Do you want to go after your biological father? The heart is too ruthless. Star Swirl was surprised.
"In fact, you don't have to do it, if you leave it alone, a completely incapacitated paralyzed patient may die at home within a few days."
"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go to Pei Yue's house to have a look! β
Bai Xiaohan shook his head silently: "Pei Yue's father is not in the apartment in Guanlin District, I don't know who took him away." β
"So what else can I do to help?" Star Swirl asks.
"Go and find out who Pei Yue's brother has been in contact with before."
---
Pei Yue's half-brother is named Yu Zheng, a security guard in a community, who lives with his mother all the year round, and has no contact with his father before.
Yu Zheng's mother divorced her husband (that is, Pei Yue's father) shortly after giving birth to him, and raised Yu Zheng alone.
"Pei Yue may not know that she has a half-brother." Star Swirl speculated.
"Judging from what the investigation showed, his father did not fulfill any obligations when Yu Zheng was growing up, so it makes sense that there was no father-son relationship between them."
"There may well even be hatred."
