"Nurse, nurse, please confirm again. Are you sure Li Tiecheng died four days ago?"
"Look at you, this is what is written in the record, how can you still fake it?"
I was a little confused, so I quickly asked: "Please let me take a look at the photo, I'm afraid if I have the same name."
"The photos are in another file. I only have text records here. If you want to confirm, can't you just take a look yourself? It shows here that the body has not been collected yet."
"Brother Yu."
My heart was pounding, so I turned around and said, "Brother Yu, go back quickly, be sure to protect Baotou and Xiaoxuan, and leave quickly."
"You won't reply?"
I said: "This matter is very important. If Li Tiecheng died a few days ago, it means that Uncle Xue was actively cooperating with the boss's plan. In other words, he was acting."
Brother Yu glanced at the watch on the wall and said: "There are a lot of cars on the way back at this time, so I'll hurry up as soon as possible. It will take two and a half hours. Once you confirm, come back as soon as possible."
Seeing Brother Yu running away in a hurry, I sat on the waiting chair, my hands shaking uncontrollably.
I asked someone to borrow a mobile phone, but found that the number on my phone could not be reached, and the message kept saying that I was on a call.
After thinking about it, I left another text message for my boss.
"Head, the hospital said that man has died long ago. I have to go and confirm. I must be careful of those around me."
I deleted the draft text message and returned the phone to someone else. I sat on a chair, watched people coming and going in the hospital, gnawed on my nails for two minutes, and made a decision.
I'm going to have a look at the morgue of the Central Hospital.
I have learned a lot from being around the boss all year round. The more I can do it now, the less I should panic. What is the first step to do? A clear mind is the most important thing, instead of running back and forth like a headless fly.
At that time, large general hospitals basically had morgues. Now many large hospitals have abandoned morgues. Due to the rapid development of the funeral industry, people are directly transferred to funeral parlors after death. At that time, the morgue of the Central Hospital was on the first floor of a small building.
.
Later, when the hospital was rebuilt, the small building was demolished and built into an emergency building, a single-family, single-family building.
The current emergency building of Yongzhou Central Hospital faces the main road, with a Separated by several green belts, many people don't know that this used to be the morgue of the Central Hospital.
In the afternoon, after one o'clock, people tend to feel sleepy just after eating. When I arrived at the door of the morgue, I saw an old security guard leaning on a stool.
The security guard's big-brimmed hat was covering his face, and there was a stainless steel rice bowl on the registration table. The security guard was motionless, probably asleep.
I walked over quietly and put my hand on the door handle.
"Ah sneeze!"
The old security guard sneezed and woke up.
"What are you doing?"
Being caught sneaking around, I felt a little embarrassed and explained, "I'm seeing a friend and I'll come out right away."
"What about the procedures? Come and register."
The old security guard waved to me and asked me to pass.
"Brother, please be accommodating. I came in a hurry and didn't go through any formalities." I took out two pieces of money from my back pocket.
The old security guard looked down, raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Procedures! No entry without formalities!"
Seeing that he was suddenly unhappy, I looked at it and realized that I had taken out one dollar and fifty cents.
I thought that what I took out was one hundred yuan, but I forgot that the several hundred yuan I had brought with me were used to pay for medical expenses.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
I still had a pack of cigarettes on me, so I secretly stuffed them into him.
Unexpectedly, the old man kept squinting his eyes and winking at me.
When I looked up, I suddenly realized that there was a camera shining on this place.
Blocking the view of the camera, I quickly put the cigarette into his rice bowl.
"Register."
Seeing an extra pack of cigarettes in the basin, he pushed the notebook in front of me.
"Write whatever you want, just write blindly." the old security guard whispered.
I checked in casually, and he opened the drawer, took the key, and opened the door for me.
Open the door, he
He turned around and said, "Brother, you are so brave. You don't look at what time it is now? It's three quarters to noon. Come on, I'll lock the door first. You can just knock on the door after reading."
As soon as I entered, the door was locked again behind me.
The old security guard knocked on the glass, meaning hurry up.
"call."
After coming in, I could see that the breath I exhaled turned white.
There are several rows of large sliding drawers around, which are stainless steel refrigerators for storing corpses.
"Ma Xiumei. Zhao Tianliang, Hu Tao."
"where?"
My hands hurt from the cold, so I looked through the cabinets. Some cabinets didn't have labels on them. I pulled them out and looked at them. I immediately said I was sorry for admitting the wrong person and pushed them back.
"Li Tiecheng."
"Found it, this is it." On the third floor.
I moved a stool and stepped on it, grabbed the handle of the refrigerator, and prepared to pull it out.
Sudden.
"Bang!"
It seemed like something hit the top of the refrigerator.
"Meow meow."
When I saw it, I saw it was a big black cat with messy hair. I didn't know where it came from.
The black cat's tail was raised high, its eyes reflected a faint green light, and it was looking at me.
"go!"
"go!"
"Get out of here, you dead wild cat."
I waved my hand as if to fight, and it meowed, jumped off the refrigerator, and ran away.
I secretly cursed something unlucky.
Legend has it that if a black cat's eyes see the eyes of a corpse, or a piece of cat hair falls on a corpse, it will appear as if it were a corpse.
This is how cat-faced old ladies in Northeast China scam corpses. I am a native of Northeast China, so of course I know about it.
I was just ten years old at that time, and an old cousin in Mohe told me that he was selling fried ham behind Harbin Experimental Primary School.
My cousin said the cat face is old My name is Mrs. Zhang. Her daughter-in-law is very powerful, but her son is a coward who dares not say a word. The couple is unfilial, so they let Mrs. Zhang live in a broken cave dwelling and only eat rice soup and steamed buns every day.
July 26, 1995.
That evening, the couple was not at home. Their son brought his classmates to the house to do homework after school.
Even though they were taught by words and deeds, the little grandsons were not filial either. They deliberately ate sesame candies in front of Mrs. Zhang, who just watched and swallowed her saliva.
Later, his grandson deliberately dropped a piece of sesame candy on the ground, and everyone ran outside to peek to see if their grandma would pick it up from the ground and eat it.
Mrs. Zhang hadn't eaten sweets for a long time, and she felt hungry, so she picked it up, wiped it, and ate it in her mouth.
Outside the door, the little grandson and his classmates watched all this and laughed, finding it very interesting.
After playing for a while, the little grandson thought of something fun again.
July is summer, when there are many flies and mosquitoes. The fly medicine is very similar to the orange powder we drink in summer. My grandson made a big bowl of fly medicine and lied to Mrs. Zhang that it was orange powder.
Drink it quickly, it tastes good.
The old lady drank a bowl of fly poison, fell asleep and never woke up, and died.
The next day, the son and his daughter-in-law had a huge quarrel when they found out. The son said he wanted to beat the child. The daughter-in-law quarreled and said: "The old woman is of no use! She will die! If Xiaodong (grandson) is found out by the school!"
I won’t be with you anymore!”
The version that was later circulated was that the old lady's corpse encountered a black cat, and the corpse turned into an old lady with a cat face. She hid during the day and ran around on the street at night.
Anyone who attended the Experimental Primary School in those days knows that there was evening self-study in the sixth grade. At that time, no one dared to go through the alley and walked through the main entrance. Anyone who saw a black cat on the wall meant that Mrs. Zhang was nearby.
Because of this, my cousin moved the fried skewers truck to another place and continued to sell it.
Because of the psychological effect, I instantly recalled this thing I heard when I was a child.
This flashed through my mind for only a minute or two. I took a deep breath and looked at the refrigerator.
Use your wrists to exert force and start to pull outwards.
