The next day, Xiao Long arrived at the hospital at exactly nine o'clock. This morning, more than ever, he worked the accumulated work. The chief should be coming to report the news of Shi Yunfeng's disappearance, Xiao Long thought to himself. Sure enough, at around half past eleven, Migu, the chief clerk, came in.

"The head nurse doesn't seem to have been back to the hospital since yesterday." The chief of affairs stood beside Xiao Long and reported.

Xiao Long didn't answer immediately, and only after stamping the document did he ask slowly, "What's wrong?" He didn't even glance at the chief clerk when questioned.

"I don't know. The head nurse is gone, and the nurses are scattered. "The head of the Miya Affairs has a tone of disobedience.

"Did you leave quietly?" Xiao Long turned his head to face Mi Gu.

Mi Gu stared at Xiao Long with slender eyes and said, "The nurses don't know. Dean, don't you know either? ”

The expression on Migu's face seemed to say, "If you don't know, who else will?" ”

"I don't know. If there's anything going on, she'll ask you for leave, right? Xiao Long replied.

"I haven't heard anything anyway, so the head nurse doesn't talk to me much."

"Don't have any clues?"

"Yesterday at half past five, a nurse saw the head nurse hurrying out of the hospital in white civilian clothes, and the head nurse did not leave anything at that time, according to the nurse, the head nurse seemed to be angry. Because of her look, the nurse was so frightened that she didn't dare to ask where she was. ”

"I happened to be out of the hospital at that time, and I didn't know anything." Xiao Long said, "There won't be any accidents, right?" Did you go to Shi Yunfeng's room to see it? ”

"A nurse has already gone to check on the house, and the house is the same as usual, the clothes are still there, and there are no letters or notes left."

"What a strange thing! Since Shi Yunfeng came here, he has never been able to stay out without taking leave! ”

Xiao Long deliberately tilted his head, pretending to be puzzled, he tried not to let the chief of affairs see his face, because Lai Qianxiu had been frightened by his pale face last night. He was also afraid that the chief of affairs would see the abnormality of his face.

"Has Shi Yunfeng's work been arranged and someone has taken over?"

"I've had an experienced veteran nurse take over, and now it's already working."

"Hmm."

"However, the dean, the head nurse suddenly disappeared, it's really strange!" The chief clerk seemed to think that the disappearance of the head nurse was more important than the normal operation of the hospital, so he brought the topic back again.

"yes. It's weird! Xiao Long still said in the same tone as before, "Wait another night." If you don't come back, notify the police. ”

"Police?!" The head of the rice valley exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Long was a little panicked in his heart: "Hmm." Anyway, she's a woman, too. This has never happened before, and I haven't been home for two nights in a row, so it's better to say hello to the police first and let them deal with it. ”

"yes!"

"Maybe you don't have to think about it so much, maybe she will come back today, you know, Shi Yunfeng's personality is different from others."

"So let's do it first." The chief clerk stared at Xiao Long's face, seemingly thinking nothing, but giving people a thoughtful feeling, and then slowly walked out of the room.

Xiao Long was the only one left in the dean's office, and he was really in no mood to continue working. The weather outside is fine, and the bright sun shines on the roof, so that the good sunlight can also shine on the dense woods. Xiao Long remembered the scene he saw last night - the corpse sandwiched in the arched bushes, his feet exposed, and the white socks were unusually vivid in his mind, it was a disgusting memory, although few people went to the place where the corpse was thrown, but there were always people who went nearby, Shi Yunfeng's body might be found today, the identity of the victim, the police may not be able to judge it for a while, but it should be able to judge it soon. At that time, the situation is a bit passive, and it is better to report the case to the police first.

The touch when he pressed Shi Yunfeng's veins was still left in his fingertips, and although those actions were completely carried out in the dark, he could clearly see Shi Yunfeng's distorted expression as if he was in a bright place. It must be an illusion, right? In fact, I couldn't see anything in the dark at that time, and it should have been too many times to see that face, so that the memory was misplaced. It's dangerous, if there is a small mistake, I can cause unexpected flaws. Speaking of which, Shi Yunfeng's disappearance was a great comfort to him, and the big stone that had been pressing on his heart for a long time was finally removed.

At this time, the nurse brought three evening newspapers. Xiao Long immediately opened it and looked through the social version, which did not publish the news that a female corpse had been found in the woods of the town's cemetery. He opened another one, no, opened the last one, and still didn't. Xiao Long breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the body has not been found today. However, the deadline for the local evening newspaper is 2 p.m., and it is possible that the body will be found after the deadline. But after two o'clock in the afternoon, no one should go there, right? Anyone who passes by there will definitely notice the two feet sticking out of the bushes, and the white socks stand out more than anything else.

It's not the deepest part of the forest, and although there is no road, people in the neighborhood are sure to go there, and I've seen couples there recently.

The disappearance of the head nurse left the young nurses at a loss, and although they commuted to and from work as usual, an atmosphere of unease hung over the hospital. Are you worrying too much? Xiao Long secretly thought, but he felt that this invisible uneasiness should not be his own delusion. It seems that the police will have to be notified of Shi Yunfeng's disappearance tomorrow. Now, he must be calm in his judgment of the situation, and he must also discuss the details of the alibi with Lai Qianxiu as soon as possible.

In the evening, the phone rang. Xiao Long had already been mentally prepared, and when the body was found and identified, the police would definitely call.

"Doctor Xiao Long?" A woman's voice came from the phone, "The teacher is looking for you, please wait." ”

It was from the Dragon Ball, Xiao Long was a little relieved, and at the same time, his mind also rushed to the Dragon Ball side like a stream of water, and after a while, the voice of the Dragon Ball came from the other end of the microphone.

"Is it a doctor?" Dragon Ball's voice was calmer than he had expected.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Xiao Long said first, "I was really sorry for missing the invitation yesterday." ”

"You're busy, aren't you?"

"Luckily, I was going to go there, but I got into some trouble on the way......"

"Well, I see. I was so stupid, I waited for you at the place you set, but you didn't come, so I obediently followed the map and went to the place you designated, and waited for thirty minutes. ”

"I'm really sorry," Xiao Long hurriedly apologized, "That's because there are a lot of troublesome things, and you should be angry, I originally asked you out to meet." ”

"It's okay." Dragon Ball replied, "I know you're busy, so please don't ask me out again, and we won't be in contact with you from now on." ”

"Don't! You misunderstood me. Xiao Long hurriedly explained, "You listen to me first!" I definitely didn't mean to. It's just that there was an emergency at that time, I really couldn't get over, and I sincerely apologize to you for letting you wait at the place and time I designated, it was my fault. ”

"No, don't say that, it's my fault that I shouldn't expect anything from you."

"Miss Dragon Ball!" Xiao Long shouted loudly on the phone, "As long as I can clear up your misunderstanding, I can do whatever you want, in short, please listen to my explanation first." Actually, I was in a traffic accident at that time, and I wanted to contact you immediately, but the hell place couldn't make a phone call at all, and it took an hour to get to the place we had agreed, but you had already left. ”

"Of course, who would be waiting stupidly in that kind of place all the time!"

"That's right, no wonder you're angry. Shall we meet? I want to apologize to you in person, or I wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight. ”

"I'm going out soon."

"Miss Dragon Ball, please don't do this, if you still don't forgive me after listening to my explanation, then I can't help it, but, please, please at least listen, please!"

"I'm sorry." There was a click over there, and he hung up the phone.

Xiao Long has never had such a hard time sleeping as now, the morning newspaper will be delivered at about half past six, this morning Xiao Long opened his eyes, and asked the maid to immediately put the morning newspaper to the pillow, he carefully looked at the social edition, but did not see the report he expected. The other two have reports of killings, but they have nothing to do with Xiao Long.

Xiao Long smoked a cigarette on his stomach. Yesterday's evening newspaper did not report it, Xiao Long thought that the body would be found after the deadline of the evening newspaper, but today's morning newspaper still did not publish it, and the deadline of the morning newspaper was 0:00 in the morning, that is, no one found Shi Yunfeng's body in the whole day yesterday.
