Chapter 473: Morgue
"It's a little weird." Zhang Cheng nodded after listening, "But it doesn't have to be done by evil spirits." ”
Xia Lan said: "I just asked you to see the corpse because I couldn't be sure, the doors and windows at the scene of the crime were intact, and the corpse showed no signs of poisoning, so it can be said that there was no trace of his killing, but the two big living people slept on the bed decently, and they were so inexplicably suffocated, something is wrong!" ”
"And...... I've seen the photos. Xia Lan glanced at Zhang Cheng, and then continued: "The expressions of the two deceased were extremely frightened, as if they had seen something terrifying before they died, so I am sure that this case must be related to the supernatural, and maybe it can be handled together with the case in the playground!" ”
Zhang Cheng nodded, judging from the situation that Xia Lan grasped, these two people were definitely killed by someone, and the way they died was so weird, it was indeed a bit like the methods of the evil cultivator.
But it's useless to think about it now, and when he sees the corpse, he will understand, so he doesn't say much, and continues to drive wholeheartedly.
The car quickly drove to the outside of the First People's Hospital of Jiangcheng, Zhang Cheng parked the car, followed Xia Lan into the outpatient building, and took the elevator down to the second floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Zhang Cheng saw the "mortuary" sign in the corridor, there were very few people on this floor, and the fluorescent lamp on the top was also a little dim, giving people a cold feeling.
"Scared?" Xia Lan stepped out of the elevator first and glanced back at Zhang Cheng.
"Hehe......" Zhang Cheng picked the corners of his mouth and said with a light smile: "I'm just a little curious, I almost entered here before." ”
That's right, if it weren't for the ghost corpse, Zhang Cheng would have been sent in with a white sheet a few months ago, and now I'm afraid that it will be burned to ashes and turned into fertilizer.
However, Xia Lan misunderstood, nodded and said: "I know that your mages are usually very dangerous, you catch ghosts, we arrest people, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life, but everyone is to maintain social order, I hope this time we can cooperate happily and catch the murderer behind it." ”
Zhang Cheng smiled and didn't say anything.
Xia Lan glanced at him, turned around and walked along the corridor forward, about twenty meters, and after turning the corner, there was a large iron door with the words "morgue" written on it.
There was a table in front of the door, and an old man sat behind it, holding a string of rosaries in his hand, and whispering something as he toddled.
Xia Lan stepped forward and knocked on the table directly, the old man was startled, looked up at Xia Lan, and said angrily, "What are you doing?" Do you know that idlers here are not allowed to enter? I almost didn't scare you to death! ”
"Are you so timid to guard the morgue?" Xia Lan took out her documents and shook them in front of the old man, and said, "The police handle the case and open the door." ”
"Police?" The old man looked at the documents carefully, quickly closed his mouth, stood up, and opened the door behind him with the key card around his neck.
Zhang Cheng's eyes kept falling on the old man's body, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that his forehead was black and his energy was sluggish, and he was obviously a little nervous when the morgue door was opened.
Those who dare to guard the morgue generally don't believe in ghosts and gods, what's the matter with this old man? Is it a temporary worker?
As soon as the door of the morgue opened, a cold air poured out in an instant, and the temperature in the corridor dropped by a few degrees.
Zhang Cheng looked up and took a look inside, and found that the morgue was about two hundred square meters, with white floor tiles, except for the side with the door, the other three sides were two-meter-high metal morgues, giving people a cold feeling, and the fluorescent lamps on the ceiling were not very bright, making it seem more and more cold inside.
Xia Lan was rushed by the cold, couldn't help but shrink her neck, turned her head to the old man and said, "Where are the two corpses that suffocated to death last month?" Take me to see it. ”
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, flipped through the record book on the table, and said in a low voice: "In the 178 and 179 cabinets, the police officer ...... Go in and see for yourself, I still have to guard the door." ”
Xia Lan frowned, glanced at the old man with some displeasure, but didn't say much, raised her feet and walked in.
Although she is a woman, she has dealt with a lot of supernatural affairs before, and seeing corpses is even more commonplace, and she has long been used to it.
But after Xia Lan walked in, she found that Zhang Cheng didn't follow up, and when she turned her head, she found that Zhang Cheng was still standing at the door, looking up at something.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Lan withdrew suspiciously, and following Zhang Cheng's gaze, she found that there seemed to be a yellow piece of paper on the door frame, but a corner was exposed, and she couldn't notice it if she didn't look carefully.
"What is this?" Xia Lan stretched out her hand to take the things off the door.
But when the old man saw it, his face immediately changed, and he stopped: "Officer, this thing can't be moved!" ”
Xia Lan ignored him, and directly reached out to take down the things on the door frame, and found that it was a piece of yellow paper folded into a triangle, and when he opened it and looked closely, it turned out to be a talisman about three fingers wide, with some crooked symbols drawn on it.
"What are you doing on the door frame?" Xia Lan frowned and looked at the old man, and asked with a straight face.
The old man looked at the charm in Xia Lan's hand, his expression was very hesitant, and he muttered speechless for a long time.
"Don't worry, I won't tell your leaders." As soon as Xia Lan saw the old man's expression, she guessed the other party's thoughts.
"I ......" The old man's eyes flickered a little, and he said hesitantly: "Officer, I am old and working in this kind of place, I am inevitably a little scared, I just want peace of mind, you must not be too careful, you must not ......be too careful."
"Peace of mind?" Zhang Cheng smiled, took the talisman from Xia Lan's hand, and rubbed it on his hand, and the yellow talisman turned into black ash, "This is a ghost exorcism talisman, it looks like it was drawn by a Taoist priest with real mana, it should have cost a lot of money, right?" Willing to spend so much money to ask for a talisman, what happened to you recently, right? ”
The old man's face changed, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Xia Lan glanced at Zhang Cheng, comprehended, turned her head to the old man and said solemnly: "If you have anything, just tell me honestly!" You should know what the nature of feudal superstition activities in hospitals is, right? If I tell you about this, you'll be expelled! ”
"Officer, don't!" When the old man heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said: "I have old and low, and I will live on my salary. ”
Seeing that Xia Lan was still unmoved with a black face, the old man said bitterly: "Officer, it's not that I don't want to say it, but you won't believe it if you say it!" When the time comes, you might think I'm not in my right mind. ”
Zhang Cheng said: "It's up to you to say it or not, believe it or not, as long as you are honest, we promise not to spread it, say it quickly." ”
