The deafening roar frightened Liu Ling, and she couldn't move for a while.

"Uncle?" After a few seconds, Liu Ling tentatively called out to Lou Ming and slowly approached him.

Lou Ming didn't react, just glared at her so fiercely. Liu Ling felt a trace of coolness slowly infiltrating from the bottom of her heart, until the cold penetrated her entire back, and she was a little overwhelmed.

After thinking about it, she tried to reach out and pull Lou Ming, but the moment she touched him, Liu Ling heard a piercing sound, and the numbers on the ECG monitor suddenly turned into a straight line. Lou Ming fell down.

Liu Ling froze, then screamed. It wasn't until the nurse ran in and started to get busy that she slammed into the bed and called out to Lou Ming.

…

"Doctor, what's the matter with my uncle? How suddenly.." Standing at the door of the EICU (intensive care unit), Liu Ling anxiously asked Lou Ming's attending doctor, Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang's tone was professional and light: "The patient suddenly suffered from an acute cerebral hematoma and went into shock, and has now fallen into a coma. At 6 a.m., I scheduled a follow-up CT scan of my brain, and I may be ready for surgery at any time depending on the situation. However, the patient's life is not in danger for the time being, so there is no need to worry too much, and the family is prepared for the cost of the operation. ”

"But didn't you just say it was just a minor concussion?" Liu Ling was surprised, "Why do you have to have surgery?" ”

Dr. Zhang pondered for a moment and explained: "Concussion is a primary brain injury, and hematoma is often associated with primary brain injury, so this situation is also common..." ”

Looking at Dr. Zhang's distant back, Liu Ling felt a little helpless, and at this moment, the phone suddenly rang.

"Ling, I saw your message, is your uncle okay? I'm almost there, I'll come here now. ”

The boyfriend's voice was a little tired, but it was reassuring. Liu Ling wanted him to go back to sleep, but the fact that happened tonight made her feel at a loss, and she urgently needed to talk and comfort, so she didn't refuse.

…

"Liu Ling!"

The familiar voice woke Liu Ling from her dream. She felt a chill and looked up to see Luo Zhen standing in front of her. "Why are you asleep here, you're going to catch a cold." Luo Zhen sat down next to him and gently hugged her.

Liu Ling also pressed his hand and looked at the time, it was already two o'clock.

"How's it going?" Luo Zhen asked with concern, "Why don't you go back to sleep for a while, I'll be here to watch." ”

"It's fine. The doctor said that he had a sudden cerebral hematoma and might have surgery tomorrow, but he is now stable for the time being. Liu Ling sighed and half-leaned on Luo Zhen's chest.

Luo Zhen was stunned: "Another cerebral hematoma?" What a coincidence. ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Ling asked.

"The deceased of my murder today also died of cerebral hematoma. But it was much more serious, and he died on the spot. Luo Zhen stretched and replied.

Liu Ling was a little shocked when she heard the word death, but she still asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Zhen smiled helplessly: "We also want to know!" I've never encountered such a strange case. He paused, and then stopped.

"Say," Liu Ling said angrily, "I'll keep it a secret, Officer Luo." ”

Luo Zhen stretched out his finger and scratched her nose, his eyes were doting, and he continued: "The deceased died on the street, and his wife called the police. The two went out for a walk after eating, and walked to the women's internal urgency in Baihua Lane, so they turned into the alley and found a corner to solve it, the man stood next to him and waited, and the woman came out and the man lay on the ground, without any cry for help, and it was a matter of four or five minutes. After receiving the alarm, we immediately rushed to the scene, and after examination, the forensic doctor determined that the deceased died of severe cerebral hematoma caused by severe trauma, which was inferred to be caused by the impact of a heavy object, but there was no trace of struggle and fight at the scene, not like murder. But if it was an accident, you can't find any heavy objects that can cause the accident, and you can't find the cause of the accident. ”

"Aren't there cameras on site?" Liu Ling asked.

"Alas, get angry at the mention of the camera!" Luo Zhen sighed, "You also know that Baihua Lane is full of old alleys, dilapidated and old, and the environment is dirty and messy. Many of the cameras were broken, not to mention that the alley where the deceased was located had no cameras at all. But," he frowned, "there are cameras at the end of the alley, and although you can't capture the situation in the alley, if someone enters or leaves the alley, you can definitely see it." ”

"And then? Did you find any clues? Liu Ling asked.

Luo Zhen looked at her with a helpless expression.

"Could it be that no one was in and out of that alley at the time of the incident?" Liu Ling's eyes widened.

Luo Zhen nodded: "Yes." We extracted the surveillance footage from the camera and found the footage of the alley at the time of the incident, and guess what? At that time, only the deceased and his wife entered the alley, and no one entered or exited the alley, and there was no other exit from the alley. ”

Liu Ling's eyes widened: "So it's not murder?" Could it be that the wife is the murderer? ”

Luo Zhen smiled, "Let's not talk about whether she has a motive or not, you can almost rule out her suspicion with one article." The forensic doctor said that such a serious injury must be caused by a very large weight, and it can only be caused by a particularly huge impact, that is, the murder weapon must be a hard object such as a huge hammer or iron rod. Such a big thing, just an alley, do you think so many of us will not be able to find it? What's more, his wife's physique is weak and weak, not to mention killing people with one blow, it is difficult for her to lift it! ”

"That's really strange," Liu Ling said in surprise, "Is that an accident?" But how did he die? ”

"I don't know! The cause of death could not be found, and the murder weapon could not be found. Just in case, I also checked the social relations, and I couldn't find the suspect, and no one had a motive. I'm going to be crazy! Luo Zhen exhaled deeply when he said this, and hammered his forehead, "Forget it, don't talk about it, it's too late, you can rest on me for a while." ”

Liu Ling opened her mouth, but she didn't continue to ask after all. She leaned on her boyfriend's shoulder and closed her eyes gently.

But Liu Ling couldn't help but remember that when his uncle was awake last night, he said that he had dinner in Baihua Lane yesterday afternoon, and then he hit a ghost on the highway, and now he is in a coma because of the same cerebral hematoma, is it...? Is there any connection between them, or is it just a coincidence? What does the three words "come back" that my uncle said before he fell into a coma mean?

Forget it, Liu Ling thought silently, her boyfriend has never believed in ghosts and gods, so don't bother him with these things chasing wind and shadows. She decided, and her mind began to drift.

In the haze, Liu Ling found herself standing in a strange alley. A slightly chubby man was facing away from him, his head was swollen and looked a little funny. Suddenly, the man's head began to swell rapidly, and the blood-red color quickly filled the back of the head, making it look like a blood-red balloon.

"Come back!" A strange and angry voice rang out again. Then with a bang, the head suddenly exploded, and countless plasma swept towards Liu Ling like a rain of flowers.

Liu Ling woke up suddenly.
