Chapter 12: The Death of the Fragrance and the Jade
When the time on the mobile phone was displayed as 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Li Bing took a deep breath and dialed 12 zeros in a row.
There was a blind sound of "beep, beep, beep" on the phone, Li Bing gritted his teeth, and when he pressed a zero again, the blind tone disappeared. At that moment, Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er's hearts were in their throats, could they really be psychic with the underworld?
Li Bing's mind was blank, and he habitually pressed the number that he had been haunted by and remembered for a long time, and the unthinkable happened, the phone really worked, and Yu Ru's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
The voice was still delicate, but there was a clear sense of dissatisfaction and a chilling sense of fear.
"Hey, where are you now? Leave me alone and leave it alone? It was dark all around, and I was so scared. Yu Ru's voice on the other end of the phone trembled slightly: "Why don't you speak?" Is it with that eldest lady? ”
Zhao Wan'er covered her face in horror, Li Bing calmed down and tried to control her tone: "Xiaoru, don't talk nonsense. In order to write a dissertation, I came to Qixia Mountain to explore the archaeology of the Thousand Buddha Rocks. I found a few things, I was busy identifying, and I just had an eyebrow, and I found that it was too late. When the phone's battery is low, it will automatically turn off immediately. Haven't you slept yet? Tomorrow I will go back to the city to find you. ”
After Li Bing finished speaking, he quickly turned off his mobile phone, his face pale and he couldn't help panting.
Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er were relatively speechless, and after a long pause, Zhao Wan'er broke the silence and began to talk about what she had seen in Hong Kong in a relaxed tone. Li Bing stood up, poured a glass of boiled water for Zhao Wan'er, and avoided talking about what happened just now, and chatted with Zhao Wan'er about family life.
Finally, it was dawn, the morning bell rang in Qixia Temple, the monks had already gotten up to wash up and prepare for the morning class, and the pilgrims who stayed in the temple were also walking around the temple, waiting for the breakfast prepared by the temple for them.
Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er left Qixia Temple in a hurry, and when Zhao Wan'er drove into Nanjing City, Zhao Wan'er stopped the car.
"Brother Li, I have an indescribable fear", Zhao Wan'er turned her head to stare at Li Bing: "I'm so hungry, I feel so cold, otherwise, let's eat something at the breakfast stall in front!" ”
Li Bing nodded, got out of the car, and walked with Zhao Wan'er to the breakfast stalls lined up on the side of the road.
The two ordered a xiaolong bun, and each asked for a bowl of tofu brain and two fried dough sticks. Zhao Wan'er saw that the fritters on the breakfast stall were actually wrapped in old newspapers and put on the table, and muttered "It's too unhygienic".
Li Bing smiled: "My eldest lady, don't be so particular. This kind of breakfast stall is everywhere in Nanjing, and it is customary to use newspapers. If you're really hungry and cold, if you don't eat fritters, eat more tofu brain and xiaolongbao. Yan grabbed a fritter and bit it greedily.
Zhao Wan'er looked at Li Bing's completely disregarding Sven look, and couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, she was furious, and her eyes were fixed on the old newspaper that had been half-soaked in fritters and somewhat transparent.
Li Bing saw Zhao Wan'er's strange appearance, and asked Zhao Wan'er with a smile What was wrong, Zhao Wan'er didn't speak, and pointed to the newspaper with her finger.
Li Bing looked at it, and the fritters in his surprised hands also fell to the ground. It was a "Jinling Evening News" more than half a month ago, and the place where it was impregnated with fritters was impressively printed: "A female doctor in the Drum Tower Hospital unfortunately died in the Ming Xiaoling Tomb on an outing."
Li Bing hurriedly picked up the old newspaper and read it carefully. The newspaper reported in detail that Yu Ru, a female doctor from the Drum Tower Hospital, visited the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum while on vacation, but unfortunately fell from a bluestone slab, hit her head on a stone, lost too much blood, and died.
Li Bing looked at the newspaper in a daze, unable to say a word. Zhao Wan'er looked at the photo in the newspaper and asked in a low voice, "Is this Yu Ru?" It's really beautiful. Li Bing nodded, and a tear oozed from the corner of his eye.
The two couldn't eat anymore, got into the car, and without waiting for Li Bing to say, Zhao Wan'er drove directly to the Drum Tower Hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, as soon as Zhao Wan'er stopped the car, Li Bing found the security guard who had interrogated him last time standing not far away.
Li Bing walked straight to the security guard and accosted a few words, and the security guard also recognized Li Bing. Li Bing asked the security guard: "This brother, last time I had an urgent matter, so I had to leave." See you again today, and I wonder why you told me that last time. ”
The security guard smiled: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I saw that you have been wandering in front of the abandoned building, thinking that you are an idle member of society, and it is the duty of a brother to come forward to interrogate, please don't mind." ”
Li Bing looked at the security guard suspiciously: "That dormitory building is abandoned?" ”
The security guard nodded: "I've only been working here for a short time, and I don't know the specifics." I only know that the row of small buildings was originally in the hospital's demolition plan, and there are only three people living in it. Just because a female doctor died unexpectedly more than half a month ago, the other two female doctors moved out on the same day because they were afraid. Since that day, the building has been abandoned, and it will probably be demolished and rebuilt next month. ”
Li Bing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother, then do you know the name of this dead female doctor?" ”
The security guard shook his head: "I'm new here, I don't know." ”
Saying goodbye to the security guard, Li Bing returned to the car and told Zhao Wan'er what had happened. The two looked at each other for a while, and then got out of the car and walked towards the outpatient department of the hospital.
In the outpatient hall, Li Bing grabbed a doctor who walked by: "Excuse me, which department is Dr. Yu Ru in?" ”
The doctor glanced at Li Bing, and without saying a word, pointed to the internal medicine department. After Li Bing thanked him, he pulled Zhao Wan'er to the Department of Internal Medicine.
In the office of the internal medicine department, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat sits on a medical record. Since it was still very early and there were no patients in the internal medicine department, Li Bing hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a cigarette, and then asked the doctor if Yu Ru was there.
The male doctor looked up at him in surprise and pointed to the opposite position: "The opposite side was originally Dr. Yu's position, but unfortunately, more than half a month ago, she unfortunately passed away, this position is still vacant, and a new internist will come tomorrow." Are you a patient she's seen? ”
Li Bing nodded, pretending to be surprised, and asked, "How could Doctor Yu pass away at such a young age?" ”
The male doctor sighed: "Doctor Yu is not only beautiful, but also has strong professional ability, and is also very kind to people, and his popularity is very good. Just more than half a month ago, she took advantage of her rest day to visit the Ming Tomb, climbed a big bluestone to take pictures, unfortunately fell from the big bluestone, and her forehead hit a stone, and she was bleeding at that time. Another female doctor who was traveling with her hurriedly called the 120 emergency number, but unfortunately, when she was sent to the hospital, she lost too much blood and failed to save her. Since her parents were away, they could not be contacted for a while, so their bodies had to be temporarily parked in the hospital morgue. ”
After Li Bing listened, he was silent, the male doctor looked at him strangely, and Zhao Wan'er hurriedly pulled Li Bing up and left in a hurry.
Standing in the lobby of the hospital, Li Bing looked at Zhao Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, I want to take a look at Yu Ru, if you are afraid, just wait for me here." ”
Zhao Wan'er shook her head: "I heard the male doctor say that Yu Ru is a very good girl, and besides, she didn't hurt you if she died." If you want to look at her, how can you leave me? I'll go with you. ”
Li Bing smiled gratefully, patted Zhao Wan'er on the shoulder, and the two went to the hospital administration building to find the director and asked for a certificate for them to go to the morgue to see Yu Ru.
In the dean's office, the dean heard that Li Bing introduced himself as Yu Ru's boyfriend, and after reading Li Bing's ID card, he issued a certificate, and at the same time told Li Bing to find Yu Ru's family as soon as possible, so that she could be buried in peace.
With the dean's certificate in hand, the two came to the door of the morgue. An old volunteer in charge of guarding the morgue took the two to Yu Ru's morgue freezer after reading the certificate.
The old volunteer didn't know what to say, and he made three strokes, and then gently opened the freezer door.
In the freezer, Li Bing saw Yu Ru's familiar and beautiful face. Yu Ru lay very quietly, and the expression on her face looked so peaceful. His face was terrifyingly pale, and a small but deep scar was faintly visible on his forehead.
At this time, Li Bing no longer had the original fear in his heart, and looked at Yu Ru who was lying quietly, and felt sad in his heart.
The old volunteer kept reading in his mouth, and gently closed the freezer door: "Young man, mourn." Dr. Yu is a very good girl. It's a shame to leave like this at such a young age! ”
Walking out of the morgue and standing in the shade of a dense tree, Zhao Wan'er gently held Li Bing's hand: "I know what you're thinking, tonight, I'll accompany you to the hospital again, you have to fulfill the promise you made on the phone yesterday, you promised to come back to visit Yu Ru today yesterday." ”
Li Bing hummed gratefully: "Wan'er, don't you feel scared?" ”
Zhao Wan'er said softly but decisively: "I'm afraid, but when I see Yu Ru's peaceful expression and hear the evaluation of her by the people in the hospital, I know what a good girl Yu Ru is, even if she becomes a ghost, she is also a kind ghost." ”
