The smell of formalin permeates the room, no longer confined to the study. It's as if the whole house is soaked in formalin, and even the whole world is placed in formalin by an indescribable being, which becomes its collection.

Li Yun felt unbearable depression.

He struggled to get a breath of fresh air in this suffocating atmosphere, and as he gasped for air, the smell of formalin was still in his nose, trachea, and lungs.

In the strong smell, Li Yun could even tell the source of these smells.

It was not a specimen of the brain in the study, but the shell of Xu Haijun.

Xu Haijun's ethereal consciousness is like a brain soaked in formalin liquid, and its shell is a specimen bottle. Through the blurred glass and the cloudy liquid, the soul of the dead specimen froze and could not be touched; Even if you touch it, you won't feel any breath of life in it.

Li Yun looked at Xu Haijun, who was suppressed by Yi Xin, with difficulty.

Xu Haijun was still struggling, his limbs fluttering, and his mouth was muttering those sentences that were not in sentences.

Yi Xin narrowed his eyes, looked at Xu Haijun for a while, and turned his head to look at Li Yun.

"Do you know you're dying?" Yi Xin coldly dropped a sentence.

Li Yun looked at Yi Xin blankly.

"He's alive. If you want to kill him, it will not be justified or courageous. Yi Xin continued, "Fortunately, the boss is not as messy as you. If that fire burns just now, the boss will also be affected by you. ”

He ...... Can it still be considered alive? Li Yun muttered, glancing at Xu Hong, who was still faint on the ground.

Xu Hong is a living person, there is no doubt about it.

Li Yun couldn't make such a thoughtless judgment about the existence of Xu Haijun.

Xu Haijun's physical body has always been alive. There is debate as to whether brain death counts as death in the legal sense or death in the biological sense. And judging from the soul and consciousness that Li Yun perceived, Xu Haijun was already dead, and maybe only the gods could bring him back to life.

Yi Xin sneered, "Black and white impermanence won't debate this with you. ”

Li Yun was silent.

The voice of the 120 operator came from the mobile phone that Xu Hong dropped on the ground.

"What now?" Li Yun asked.

"What else can I do? Wait for the ambulance to come and hand the person over to them. I just told you on the phone, I want to tie people up. ”

"And then? How did you catch the murderer behind the scenes? Li Yun asked pleadingly, sitting on the ground, panting desperately from the smell of formalin, "I've been investigating for days. Two other police officers were also involved in the investigation. However, no one has been found. I finally got a little clue today...... The specimen of the brain in his collection, I didn't have a problem with it last time, and he didn't have this strange condition, and today he suddenly ......"

Li Yun was extremely troubled.

He followed the scent of formalin, and finally could only find Xu Haijun. Xu Haijun did not have any emotions in his body. It's an endless loop.

He could be sure that the root cause of the matter was not Xu Haijun, and it was very likely that it had nothing to do with the brain specimen, but this series of changes happened in front of his eyes, and it could not be explained by science, nor by the metaphysics of the supernatural.

The other party's methods are really clever.

"If you contact the contributors......" Li Yun thought of the other end of the clue.

Officer Qian and Lin Youde couldn't use the resources of the police, and Li Yun at most contacted the contributor "The sky is bright and the stars are not dark" through the account "Strange Stories", and I don't know how much information I can get from this netizen.

Thinking of this, Li Yun straightened up and picked up his mobile phone.

"Doctor...... Doctor...... Brain Experiment ...... Craniotomy ......" Xu Haijun was still babbling, sounding terrifying.

Yi Xin pressed Xu Haijun's throat with a little force, but there was no way to stop his voice.

An impatient look appeared on Yi Xin's face, but he was still patient, suppressed Xu Haijun, and no longer cared about his babbling.

She urged Li Yun, "You move quickly." ”

"I sent a message and didn't get a reply that quickly." Li Yun was helpless, "It's not something I can control." ”

Weibo private messages are not instant calls, and he can only passively wait for the other party to reply.

That account was just a bunch of data at this moment, and Li Yun couldn't feel the emotions that belonged to people from it. The owner of the account may be now bored and smoothly carrying out his daily work, or he may be a frequent hospitalized patient number, who is lying on a bed in a ward of a certain hospital at this time, accustomed to calmly taking medicine and water, without any strong emotions.

As Li Yun expected, after the news was sent, the netizen never replied.

Ambulances came faster.

The door was closed, and the other party knocked on the door outside, shouting noisily, as if calling the property and the police.

Li Yun was hesitating to open the door for them when he heard the sound of the door breaking.

A loud noise woke up Xu Hong, who had fainted.

Xu Hong narrowed her eyes, trying to restore her vision.

Yi Xin's movements are extremely agile. When Xu Hong woke up and the people outside broke in, he let go of his hand, turned into a bat, and hid his body.

Xu Haijun gained his freedom, immediately stood trembling, and rushed towards Xu Hong.

Xu Hong didn't have time to react at all, and was thrown to the ground by Xu Haijun again.

It just so happened that the police and the doctors had already rushed in.

Xu Haijun was pulled by several big men together, and finally separated from Xu Hong.

Xu Hong's head was still bleeding, and she looked panicked.

The scene was chaotic, and no one noticed the little bat flying out of the hole in the window.

Li Yun, this ghost, is even more invisible to anyone.

After Li Yun confirmed that Xu Haijun was under control, he went downstairs and found Yi Xin.

"Shouldn't that brain specimen be disposed of?" Li Yun breathed in the fresh air outside and asked Yi Xin's opinion.

He couldn't feel any formalin on the specimen anymore.

Or rather, the room was filled with the smell of formalin, and the smell of specimens was no different from those books and documents.

The original smell of the old paper pile no longer exists.

It's like two forces flipping, before the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, and now the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, and the wind swept away the clouds, completely crushing the power of the other side.

Yi Xin snorted, turned into a little bat again, and flew away. After a while, she returned to Li Yun and said impatiently, "Okay, okay." What's next? ”

"Probably back to the central hospital. Weibo hasn't received a reply yet...... "Li Yun was helpless, and pressed the corner of his forehead with a headache.

After his breathing became smoother, the uneasiness in his heart rose again.

The smell of formalin seemed to remain on him, and he always inadvertently smelled the smell again, as if the evil spirit of the unresolved soul was haunted by him, not knowing when it would attack him, making him as crazy as Xu Haijun.

"How the hell is this done? Sister Yi, have you seen something similar before? Li Yun asked.

Yi Xin didn't answer, just stared at Li Yun for a while, "What have you found now?" ”

Li Yun didn't hide it. He had introduced the situation of the evil ghosts in the central hospital to Yi Xin and Xue Xiaolian before, but both of them were absent-minded and didn't know how much they had listened. At this time, Yi Xin listened to Li Yun's narration again, and added some new information that he and the two policemen had found out recently, so he was silent, obviously much more serious than at the beginning.

"How?" Li Yun asked Yi Xin expectantly.

"The clues are all broken, what can I do?" Yi Xin said angrily.

"Then you, will you come with me to the central hospital to have a look?" Li Yun asked.

He felt that Yi Xin, as a monster, would see things that he and the two policemen couldn't see. After all, the identities of the three parties are completely different, and their perspectives are different, so what they see must be different.

Yi Xin rolled her eyes, "With those two policemen there, do you think our company hasn't been exposed enough?" What did you tell them? ”

Li Yun answered Yi Xin's question succinctly. Regarding Officer Qian and Lin Youde, he actually didn't reveal too much personal information.

His death cannot be explained by science. He didn't want his old case to be uncovered again. That series of cases involving Li Yun are either accidents, or have been closed, or are still under investigation by the police, but on Li Yun's side, all the victims have a home, and all the murderers have been punished.

Officer Qian and Lin Youde themselves were also not recognized and authorized by the police. The two of them knew the truth of everything, but they just took a few more steps in the direction of death on the dividing line between life and death.

Yi Xin nodded with satisfaction and lost his temper a little, "Then you can continue to cooperate with them." I'll forget it. There's an unmarried one among them, right? ”

Li Yun froze in embarrassment.

He didn't have much impression of Lin Youde, although he had connected with Lin Youde's consciousness, but the information he received at that time was Lin Youde's righteous heart as a policeman. After removing the identity of the policeman, Li Yun has no understanding of what kind of person Lin Youde is. Lin Youde accepts the existence of ghosts and gets along well with Song Yingying, and it is really difficult to predict what his attitude towards a monster like Yi Xin, who has killed several ex-boyfriends, will be.

Li Yun himself is also a little afraid of a love affair that is easy to understand. He subconsciously felt that Yi Xin's relationship with anyone could not blossom, and the man could save a life, which was already a good character, and he was lucky enough.

Lin Youde is a good policeman, and it is bad enough to be involved in the incident of the evil ghost in the Central Hospital, so it is better not to go through another bumpy period on Yi Xin.

"I'm going to follow this doctor to see." Yi Xin said again.

"He's going to be taken to the central hospital, right?" Li Yun thought about what the first responder had just said.

The nearest tertiary hospital is the central hospital.

Xu Haijun has worked in the central hospital all his life, and it is reasonable that the house is bought near the hospital.

Yi Xin was stunned, "Then forget it." Hurry to the hospital. ”

She said, waving her hand, ready to leave.

Li Yun couldn't suppress Yi Xin to follow him. Yi Xin was able to come to the rescue in time, which was already a great help.

He sighed and walked in the direction of the Central Hospital, his steps heavy, not at all like a ghost floating around in folk perception.

Yi Xin took a few steps and looked back at Li Yun's back.

If others can see Li Yun, they will only think that he is an ordinary young man. The solemn and panicked expression and procrastinating pace are like a social animal who has lost his job, which makes people sympathize and quickly forget.

Who would have thought that he was a ghost, and he was still thinking about how to kill evil spirits and save the living?

Human beings, indeed, are very stupid, very troublesome, and very annoying.

Yi Xin thought coldly, and gently clenched his fist, covering his stretched sharp nails. She licked the fangs hidden under her lips, and while her expression was indifferent, the irritability in her heart was not less.

Taking a deep breath, Yi Xin turned into a small bat and flew towards the Jinrong Mansion at great speed.

※※※※※

The emergency and outpatient departments of the central hospital are located in two separate buildings, plus the inpatient building, and the three buildings are connected by a sky corridor in the middle. The corridors turn around and around, and the staff of the hospital or the old patients who treat the central hospital as a second home may not be able to follow the patched signs to figure out the route.

Behind the character is an independent administrative building, and there are scattered ophthalmology, stomatology, acupuncture and other small clinics around the character, and a large open space in the middle. When Xu Haijun was in the hospital, trees were planted in the vacant land, making it a nondescript small garden, which was not beautiful and the greenery was sufficient. Not long after he retired, the small garden was bulldozed and converted into a parking lot to alleviate the tight parking space at the central hospital.

Xu Haijun was sent to the emergency department, and the doctors who took over didn't know that Xu Haijun was the retired director of their hospital, just an ordinary mental patient. After Xu Hong's external injuries were treated, he calmed down, notified Xu Haijun's daughter-in-law, and also informed Xu Haijun's identity to the central hospital.

News always spreads quickly, especially this kind of explosive gossip, supported by modern network communication, and the speed of transmission is measured in seconds.

Director Xin of Puwai naturally received the news as soon as possible.

If it had been placed a few days earlier, he would have to recall the past of Xu Haijun, the former director of general foreign affairs. But after the special visit of Officer Qian and Lin Youde, this step of recollection is equivalent to being completed in advance. Director Xin directly finished the little work at hand, and took the idle little doctor to visit the old director in the emergency department.

Lin Youde and Officer Qian investigated in the central hospital, but did not establish their own news channels, and when they heard the news from the intensive care department, Director Xin had already sighed and sighed for three rounds, and Xu Haijun was also sent to the psychiatric department and was tied to the hospital bed.

"Is it Xu Haijun, the original director of the general department?" Lin Youde exclaimed in surprise.

The one who told him the news was Mei Mei, a young nurse in the intensive care unit.

I don't know if it's because of the slight contact before, or because of the natural gossip, Meimei is very friendly to Lin Youde and can say a few more words.

She herself didn't know the evil ghost on the portrait, but she was very enthusiastic to help Lin Youde post the portrait in the nurse group, which reduced Lin Youde's workload.

"Yes! I just sent it in. When I first sent it in, I didn't know that it was the director of the general retirement. The emergency department transferred Dr. Xu's medical records, and it turned out that the tumor was found in our hospital, and I heard that he went to Beijing and Shanghai for follow-up treatment, but I didn't know that he was paralyzed. His nanny said he was paralyzed, and today he suddenly jumped up and hit people like crazy. The emergency department invited many departments to consult. There have been no flowers at all in these years, and today it is also lively. Meimei's tone was exaggerated, and she looked like she wanted to gossip on the spot.

The paralyzed elderly cancer patient miraculously stood up, but was mentally abnormal. Even if this thing didn't happen to Xu Haijun, changing a strange patient would be enough for doctors and nurses to take a look and study it.

Xu Haijun was pushed to do various examinations, and when he was sent back to the ward, he was already a transparent person in front of the doctors.

Judging from the imaging films, his mental abnormality can be explained by cancer cells that have spread to the brain, but his activity does not match the internal conditions captured by the imaging department.

This unreasonable phenomenon made the bigwigs of several departments scratch their heads.

"His daughter-in-law just came over and seemed to say that she was going to be sent to another hospital. He hadn't been treated in our hospital before. Meimei added, "The dean was shocked." I heard that the dean didn't deal with one of his senior brothers back then, and his senior brother ended up going to a hospital in Shanghai. It turned out that many of Dr. Xu's brothers in the hospital have retired and left in recent years. ”

The gossip of the hospital, Officer Qian and Lin Youde are not so interested.

"He's in psychiatry now?" Officer Qian asked.

The three words "psychiatric" made Officer Qian frown subconsciously.

"Well, for the time being, I'm staying in the psychiatric department. He always wanted to attack people. Meimei replied, and peeked at Lin Youde again, looking like she wanted to ask.

The two policemen, Officer Qian didn't let go, only he talked from others, but no one else talked from him; Lin Youde seems young and inexperienced, and it is easy to talk to young people like Meimei.

"Can you go see him?" Officer Qian asked again.

"I don't know. The rules of psychiatric visitation are different from ours. We are not like other departments. Meimei made an excuse.

Of course, she knew the rules of visiting patients in various departments of the hospital, but Xu Haijun's situation was obviously a little special, and Director Xin had not concealed it before, and people in other departments also knew that Officer Qian and Lin Youde had recently inquired about Xu Haijun. The various groups within the hospital responded quickly to popularize the resume of Xu Haijun, a retired old director, and incidentally involved the history of power change in the central hospital.

The young doctors and nurses may not know who was in charge of the central hospital before, but only know the background of the current president, vice president and department bosses, and this time they understand the history of the bosses. The alumni who have graduated from Yao Medical University in recent years are even more likely to combine the change of power in the central hospital with the promotion and departure of some professors within Yao Medical University.

This gossip is much more exciting.

Meimei looked at Officer Qian and Lin Youde's gaze, as if she was looking at those gossip marketing accounts on Weibo, and she couldn't wait for them to move their mouths quickly, revealing some intriguing insiders.

Officer Qian thanked Meimei again, and by the way, brought the topic back to the beginning.

They were called over by Meimei, but they didn't come to Meimei to inquire about Xu Haijun.

"Oh." Meimei slapped her head, "That's right, that's right." Didn't I help you post that portrait in the group before? A few nurses in the respiratory department were chatting, and a patient recognized this person. ”

Officer Qian and Lin Youde's eyes widened in surprise.

"Who is he?" Lin Youde couldn't wait to ask.

"It was a patient who had been admitted to the emergency department, who was brave enough to save people, but was stabbed and could not be saved. I heard that I am still a medical student, and I am about to graduate in one year. Meimei said with a little regret, "It's been a long time since I passed away." ”

"Died twenty years ago?" Lin Youde asked.

"I don't know. I asked for you, and the one who recognized him was a patient with 17 beds in the respiratory department, and he is still living in the hospital. Meimei took out her mobile phone and inquired as she introduced, "What are you looking for this person for?" Does this have anything to do with Dr. Xu? Was it at that time that Dr. Xu was called for a consultation? ”

Officer Qian didn't let Lin Youde speak, and he perfunctory these questions.

Meimei was not disappointed either.

After thanking Meimei again, Officer Qian decided to go separate with Lin Youde. He asked Lin Youde to find Song Yingying to inspect Xu Haijun's situation together, while he went to the respiratory department to talk to the 17-bed patient.
