Chapter Fifty-Eight: Chasing the Murderer at Midnight

Dafang Town Hospital is located in the east of the town and is a Russian building. During the Japanese occupation, it was once the forward station of the Kwantung Army, and after the liberation, it became a town hospital, which was also the unit where Li Guangxia worked for more than three years. The main building of the town hospital is two small three-storey townhouses, and the backyard of the main building is a morgue and incinerator. The incinerator was built during the Japanese occupation era and is said to have been used by several nearby Japanese strongholds to incinerate corpses, and was usually brought here by anti-Japanese elements who were shot in provincial capitals to be cremated. For a long time after the liberation, due to the prevalence of the burial system, crematoriums were not opened much, that is, the corpses of some beggars and patients with serious infectious diseases were melted away. The last time the furnace was opened was after the sinkhole was excavated, and the bones of seven people including the Junko family were melted.

In the place where many supernatural things are rampant, Baozi is most afraid of the hospital, not because he is afraid of ghosts, but here, he can't tell whether it is a person or a ghost who passes by. In Baozi's eyes, people and ghosts are clear and real, but there are too many dead people and ghosts in the hospital, which makes it difficult to distinguish between people and ghosts.

Today, the hospital is very lively, almost all the doctors who are on leave have been urgently called back, and the dying dozen beggars and five abducted children have all been sent to the town hospital, which has caused the hospital's carrying capacity to reach an overload state. At that time, there were no ambulances, and there was no modern allied medical system, and if you wanted to transfer patients, you had to wait until dawn to report to the provincial hospital. So on this night, the hospital is destined to become the liveliest place in town.

Baozi walked into the gate of the main building and saw a registration office on the left and right: in the registration office on the left, there was an old man wearing a red arm band, holding a dry tobacco bag, smoking a cigarette without a pair; On the table was a sign that read "Visitor Registration", which of course was just an ornament, as illusory as the slogans of the era. And the registration office on the right side also sits an old man with a withered face, wearing a white plain, with an ancient sandalwood table in front of him, with rice paper, pen and ink, there is no sign on the table, only a white cloth standing next to him, with the book "Yin and Yin Tong", Baozi understands that this is the soul containment point set up by Yin Cao in the hospital.

Baozi ignored the uncle in the yang world, and turned to the old man in the underworld to salute, "Uncle, I want to check someone." ”

The old man was startled, "Boy, can you see me?" ”

Baozi motioned to the old man not to speak, reached out and took the book of life and death, and looked through it carefully, "There is Zha Bingkun, an electrician, on the sixth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, who died of electrocution." Baozi pointed to the name and asked, "Where is his soul?" ”

The old man replied slowly, "Sent away in the afternoon." ”

"What about his flesh?"

"Morgue, well, you should ask me the one across from me."

Baozi saluted the old man and led the cabbage flower to the hospital hall. It was the first time that the town hospital had been so busy at midnight with almost a surging crowd of people carrying patients, nurses busy triaging and delivering medicines, doctors patrolling the wards, and parents and family members of children. In the crowd, there are indeed things that are not clean. When Baozi passed by the door of the delivery room, he saw a woman dressed in white flashing in front of her and hiding behind the security door. As soon as Baozi opened the security door, she saw a woman with messy hair and a drooping head, she looked at Baozi with her eyes hanging and her eyes full of hostility and fear. Baozi said to her, "Don't hide, I can see you!" ”

"Leave me alone," the woman's voice was empty.

"Why not? Do you want to travel to become a wild ghost? Baozi asked.

The woman did not speak.

Baozi took her hand and said, "Let's go, go to the old man to report for duty" Cabbage Flower didn't feel strange when she saw Baozi gesturing to the air. During this time, she was also used to encountering all kinds of ghosts frequently. She can see what she should see, and she can't see what she shouldn't see, who doesn't let herself have eyes to the sky. This time, it must have been Baozi who met a wild ghost, so he also pretended to be able to see it, and said to the air, "You, don't resist, our ability to exorcise demons is not covered." ”

When the woman heard this, she sat on the ground and played tricks, almost using her own weight to decorate her bun's arm, and she just didn't leave. But she barely weighs.

Baozi was a little impatient and asked, "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes, tell me, and I will help you." ”

The woman stood up, tears streaming down her pale face, and she looked into the room through the glass window of the ward, a gesture that also attracted Baozi's gaze. The dilapidated room was the delivery room, and a group of doctors were busy, some pressing on the heart, some using hemostats to stop the bleeding, while the woman lying on the delivery bed was motionless, and the sheets on her lower body were all stained red with blood. The door opened, and a man with a scruffy beard walked out, followed by an obstetrician and gynecologist, and the two stopped beside the bun. The obstetrician and gynecologist asked, "Give me a word, Lord Bao?" Baby-saving? ”

The man lit a cigarette, and she stood almost shoulder to shoulder with the female ghost, who looked at the man with tears on her face and hope. The man took two puffs of his cigarette and first asked, "Boys and girls?" “

"Boys"

The "baby-saving" man barely hesitated, threw the cigarette on the ground, and stepped on it hard. The doctor nodded and silently returned to the delivery room. The female ghost stared at her eyes and opened her mouth wide, but she didn't react for a long time, she was stunned for dozens of seconds, and finally cried. Baozi's grip on her hand loosened, she was waiting for an answer. This is not the first time such a scene has been played out in this town.

The female ghost sobbed, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Da Xian'er, I just want to see what the child looks like, and then I will go on the road ....."

The ghosts of the underworld, the suffering of the world. Baozi was silent, let her go, and got up and walked forward. Baozi passed through several corridors, and the crowd finally slowly thinned out, and when he passed by the door of the spare emergency room, he found a middle-aged man, anxiously leaning on the window and watching. Baozi stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, how do you get to the morgue?" ”

The man was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately replied, "You... You... Hey, how do I know where the morgue is? Here's the rescue, don't hate it! After speaking, he glared at Baozi in disgust, "Morgue!" What a obscurity! Baozi felt that he was a little abrupt, so he didn't dare to ask again. The man was wearing a blue overalls from the machine factory, numbered 032, and his body was covered with dirty engine oil, and the person lying in the rescue room was also dressed in this costume, only to see two bloody big feet, it seemed that the worker was injured. Baozi hurriedly apologized to the man and went to the morgue by himself.

The morgue is not hard to find, and there is a small bungalow with three rooms next to the crematorium in the backyard, and that is the morgue. The big iron door of the morgue is closed, but there is no anti-theft facility, and who has nothing to steal the body in those years and now? The wooden windows were still made in the fifties, the wooden frames were all dry and rotten, and they could be opened with a slight pull, and the bun released Xiao Yi, and asked him to take the bundle of fairy ropes, hang them in the air and wait, and immediately tie them up when he saw the female ghost come out. After arranging Xiao Yi's work, he and Cabbage Flower started to tear down the window, Cabbage Flower just put his hand on the window, only to see under the moonlight, deep inside, facing the bleak white light, that is...... It was a figure standing straight in the room!

The cabbage flower screamed and said, "She's coming!" Baozi covered her mouth with one hand, "Don't shout, I'm afraid she won't come!" ”

The two of them broke down the window and jumped in. Baozi swung out the Chixiao Sword and stabbed the chest of the person who was standing upright, only to see that the so-called ghost was just a set of broken medical bone racks, which was just clothed and stood on the ground. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then observed the structure of the room, the room was not large, and there were seven or eight single beds placed side by side in the center of the ground, covered with white covers, and human figures were faintly visible under the covers, and it was estimated that there was a dead body under each of them.

As soon as the cabbage flower poured up, she sat on the ground with her feet limp, panting heavily.

Baozi was a little funny, "We were all killed in vain in the Dead Sea, and those walking ghouls didn't scare you, why did you still make the mistake of a little girl today." ”

Cabbage glared at the bun, "The old lady is never afraid of being lively, she is afraid of being alone and a ghost, it's really scary!" Because she sat low, she could see under the empty bed, and she saw a woman in red clothes under the big bed facing her, with her withered grass hair scattered to cover her face, her eyes were black, her hands and feet were on the bed, her head was tilted upside down, and she was smiling at herself! That mouth is like a grinning scar!
