Volume 1 Introductory Detective Chapter 20 The Mortuary
Song Dongxi thought he heard wrongly at first, but he checked with Zhang Liangbo again and said, "What? Brother, did I hear correctly? You said you wanted me to go to S City? Find you?!"
Zhang Liangbao replied affirmatively: "Yes, you are the only person I can think of to help me now, so I want you to come over and help me investigate together. I feel that I am getting closer to the truth!"
Song Dongxi really wanted to curse now. He said loudly as if he was looking at a madman: "Damn it, brother, are you not sick? Can I just come here? Don't I want to work? Don't I have to go to work?"
I really..."
Zhang Liang was silent. He also knew that his request was a bit too much, but he really had no other choice. At this point, it was impossible for him to find Li Wenyu or Bai Jingwen again, let alone Qin Dada's disappearance.
Is there any secret? All the previous clues have now been proven to be false. If he finds new clues again, he must first ensure that this matter is only in his own hands, so that he can have a certain initiative.
When Song Dongxi saw that Zhang Baolan was silent, he also sighed and said, "Even if I go, what can you do? Now that almost all the clues have been cut off, what can you do? Xiao Liangzi, listen to me and get out quickly.
Retreat, if you keep playing like this, I'm worried that something will really happen to you!"
Zhang Liang said solemnly: "It's too late. I can't get out now. Forget it, I was too impulsive. I shouldn't have dragged you into this muddy water. Courier, thank you for helping me before."
I've found those things, but if it weren't for you, I might still be in the dark. I'll leave the rest to myself. If something happens, I'll ask you for help. Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'll hang up.
!" After saying that, Zhang Baoli was about to hang up the phone.
Song Dongxi shouted anxiously on the phone: "Hey, hey, don't hang up! I'm really convinced by you. Come on, I'll go! Why don't I go! Just stay here, until I get here,
You are not allowed to do anything, do you hear me?"
Zhang Baolan felt warm in his heart and said in a gentle voice: "Thank you!"
Song Dongxi said in disgust: "Get out of here, don't speak in this tone, I have goosebumps all over my body!"
Zhang Baoan also smiled. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something again, and said to Song Dongxi: "By the way, I have one more thing to ask you. Aren't you a tester? Can you bring an instrument over? It's like that."
It can detect fingerprints, DNA, etc., we may be able to use it."
Song Dongxi was furious when he heard this. He almost shouted: "This is a hospital, not a criminal police station, and I'm still checking fingerprints. Why don't you let me defuse the bomb?"
Zhang Baoan quickly comforted him and said: "Don't be excited, don't be excited. I don't know. Don't forget it. Just come and I'll treat you to a big dinner!"
Song Dongxi was still chattering on the phone: "I bombed a nursing home in my last life, how do I know you..."
Zhang Baoan quickly interrupted: "Okay, I should go to work now. I won't tell you anymore. When you arrive, call me in advance and I will pick you up." After saying that, he ignored Song Dongxi's dissatisfied complaints and went to work.
Hang up the phone directly.
After talking to Song Dongxi, Zhang Baobao leaned back on his chair and thought about what had just happened. The joy he felt after talking to Bai Jingwen in the morning had long since disappeared. Apart from chaos, there was only a strong sense of loss in his heart.
After sitting there for a long time and drinking the already cold coffee in one gulp, Zhang Baobao forced himself to calm down. He hesitated whether to tell Li Wenyu and Bai Jingwen about this, but finally gave up the idea.
Li Wenyu is still looking for the missing Qin Dada. No matter what, as long as she is found, many things will be explained clearly. Therefore, it doesn't make much sense whether she tells Li Wenyu or not.
As for Bai Jingwen, Zhang Lianyuan actually has selfish motives. He is afraid that Bai Jingwen will blame him when she finds out about this. After all, it can be said that he was the one who insisted on putting almost all the unfavorable factors on Qin Da's head. As a result, now
Things have changed again.
Therefore, after Zhang Liang thought about it, he decided to suppress the matter by himself for the time being, and wait until he really finds any useful clues before he considers whether to tell others. Otherwise, if such an incident happens again, Zhang Liang will
I really don't know how to end it.
Zhang Liang spent this day in a state of confusion. It was not that he had not recovered from the previous blow, but that he was thinking about what to do next.
Song Dongxi was right about one thing. The reason why he had been looking for clues about medical equipment before was because he believed that the old beggar died of suffocation for some reason. However, what if that was not the case?
Thinking of this, Zhang Liangliang immediately knew what he should do next. As soon as this idea appeared, even he broke out in a cold sweat. That's right, next, he had to find a way to find the old beggar's body!
Only by actually seeing the old beggar's body could he understand the cause of the old beggar's death, and thus be able to clarify the direction of the next investigation.
But where is the old beggar's body? Zhang Baoan thinks that it should still be parked in the morgue of the hospital. His judgment is actually very reasonable. First of all, it has only been more than a day since the old beggar died.
, and the old beggar is not a normal patient, and should be regarded as an idle member of society. Therefore, after death, there are no family members to receive the body. For such a body, the hospital has the right to directly cremate it on its own.
However, if you want to carry out cremation, you need to go through an application and approval process. In other words, the hospital needs to get a certificate that allows cremation before it can cremate the body. Although Zhang Liang does not know the specific process of this operation,
But he felt that in such a short period of time, the hospital should not have received this certificate.
Therefore, if Zhang Baan moves quickly enough, he will really have a chance to see the old beggar's body. Of course, the faster the better, because he doesn't know when the hospital will get the certificate and wants to come to the hospital.
You probably don’t want to keep an unclaimed body lying in the morgue!
Therefore, Zhang Liang made a decisive decision to take action tonight before he could wait for Song Dongxi to arrive!
With the action goal in mind, Zhang Liang gradually became more at ease. He thought carefully about the action process, and soon, a rough plan gradually formed in Zhang Liang's mind.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Liang did not stay to work overtime, but left the company directly. He first went to buy some things, and then drove to the First Municipal Hospital.
Zhang Liang did not rush into the hospital. At this time, there were many doctors and nurses in the hospital, so it was not the most favorable time for him to take action. He bought a few steamed buns from the stall next to the hospital and sat down.
Eating in the car while waiting for time to pass.
Soon, it was around nine o'clock in the evening. Zhang Baoyou looked at the time and felt that the doctors who were off duty should have almost left, so he got out of the car and walked towards the hospital.
In order to reduce the attention of others, he did not enter directly from the outpatient and emergency building on the front, but went directly around to the side and entered the building through the door of the inpatient building.
For Zhang Liang, who has lived here for a while, he has a relatively clear understanding of the structural layout of the inpatient building. His destination is very clear, which is the nurse station that he has visited more than once before!
He went straight to the door of the nurse station as if he were on a familiar road. He didn't meet any doctors or nurses along the way, which made Zhang Lianyuan feel a little relieved.
There are usually nurses on duty at the nurse station at night, but not many, usually one or two. When Zhang Lili was hospitalized before, the nurses on duty would usually go out for ward rounds at this time, so he chose to come in at this time.
Sure enough, when I looked through the small window on the door of the nurse station, there was no one inside. Zhang Badou slowly turned the door handle and walked in in a flash.
After gently closing the door, Zhang Liang took a deep breath. Although the whole process didn't last long, he felt as if he was filming a spy movie, and he felt nervous all the time.
After taking a short rest, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately started searching around the room. Soon, he found what he was looking for - a white coat worn by a nurse!
That's right, Zhang Liang's plan was to pretend to be a hospital doctor and sneak into the morgue to find the old beggar's body.
In fact, this is a quite risky move. As long as there is a slight mistake in any link, it will be exposed and all previous efforts will be wasted. He may even be arrested as a criminal!
However, if you want to get in touch with the old beggar's body, you have to enter the hospital morgue, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter the morgue, so Zhang Badai can only take risks and adopt this method.
Zhang Baoyan put on his white coat and took out a mask from his pocket. He went to the drugstore to buy it after work. He put on the mask and arranged it carefully to make sure that most of his face was covered. Then he carefully
Left the nurse's station.
I don’t know who this white coat belongs to, but one thing is for sure, its original owner must not be tall, so after Zhang Bao Li put it on, the hem of the coat didn’t even reach his knees, which made it look as awkward as possible. Okay.
Now, this kind of clothes are generally loose, so Zhang Baobao can barely button them up. However, he can only keep his pace as short as possible to avoid excessive movement and damaging the clothes.
Wearing this outfit, Zhang Liang walked through the corridor between the inpatient building and the outpatient and emergency building and came to the service desk at the door. He tried to lower his voice and asked the staff on duty at the service desk: "Hello, I am our hospital.
New intern, I would like to ask where the morgue in our hospital is?"
There was only one young nurse at the service desk. She was sitting there secretly chatting with someone on her cell phone. She was startled when she suddenly heard Zhang Liang’s question. She thought it was the leader coming to inspect and quickly stuffed her cell phone into her pocket.
inside.
When she saw Zhang Badan's appearance clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then she became a little confused. It was obvious that she had no impression of this so-called intern.
Zhang Baolian was also very nervous. Seeing that the nurse at the service desk didn't trust him very much, he was also thinking about solutions in his mind. Suddenly, he had an idea and said: "Director Bai is my mentor.
His daughter introduced me to her. Do you know his daughter? Her name is Bai Jingwen. She used to study abroad and I am her junior brother."
At this time, the little nurse at the service desk finally showed an expression of realization. Obviously, Director Bai's name is quite authoritative in the hospital. She said: "It turns out that you learned from Director Bai. How can I look at your face?"
As for students, I have heard that Director Bai has a daughter who returned from studying abroad, but I have never seen it. You are also very lucky to be able to work under Director Bai. He is the leading surgeon in our hospital.
incredible!"
Zhang Liang nodded, but couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Yes, yes, I have personally experienced how powerful he is!"
The little nurse at the service desk asked again: "Where did you say you were going? The morgue?"
Zhang Liang nodded quickly and said: "Director Bai is going to teach me about surgery and the human body tomorrow, which involves autopsy, so I want to go and identify the place today to avoid being unable to find it when I move the body tomorrow. Then
Wouldn’t it just delay things!”
The little nurse at the service desk made a clear expression and said: "You are quite good at getting things done, and you also know how to do your homework in advance. The morgue is over there in the inpatient building, on the second underground floor. You have to take the medical elevator on the far west side to get down.
.”
Zhang Baoan thanked him and quickly turned around and left. If he stayed any longer, he might be exposed.
Returning to the inpatient building, Zhang Baoliang kept walking west, passing by the east elevator, which was the elevator he mistakenly entered next to the small door in the backyard of the hospital. He continued to the west, which was the elevator he took when he first came to the hospital to visit Song Jiao.
The west elevator.
Zhang Bao Liang did not stop, but continued walking inside. Sure enough, in front of the west elevator, there was a special medical elevator painted with green paint and with a door that was one size larger than the ordinary elevator.
It seemed like this was it! Zhang Baoan pressed the down button, and soon the elevator reached the first floor.
Zhang Bao Liang walked into the elevator and exhaled again. Things have been going smoothly so far. When he got down there, Zhang Bao Bao was actually not as worried as he was just now, because generally speaking,
The people who guard the morgue in the hospital are not doctors or nurses, but people from outside. They may not leave the underground 24 hours a day, so they don’t actually have much contact with people in the hospital. For Zhang Liangliang,
On the contrary, there is almost no danger of being exposed.
With a soft "ding" sound, the number on the elevator panel stopped at the negative two floor. As the elevator door slowly opened, Zhang Badai gradually saw the outside appearance clearly.
In fact, the second underground floor is the same as the ground. It is also a long corridor. There are rooms on both sides of the corridor. However, the rooms on the ground are all wards, while the doors of the underground rooms are closed. I don’t know what they are used for.
.
At the end of the corridor, there is the destination that Zhang Baoliang has spent all his efforts to find today - the morgue!
Zhang Liang stepped out of the elevator. He suddenly felt that his steps were a little heavy, and his legs began to shake slightly unconsciously. There was nothing he could do about it. All the horror movies portrayed the morgue as a dangerous place, and there were perverts inside.
It's a murderer again. Zhang Liang was not very courageous to begin with, but when he thought of this, he was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
The corridor was very quiet and a bit empty, so Zhang Bao's own footsteps echoed in the corridor. The lights on the ceiling didn't flash like in horror movies, but they were still very dim.
, probably in order to save electricity, the hospital did not install lights everywhere underground, but only ensured the most basic lighting.
It was in this atmosphere that Zhang Liang almost dragged his feet and reached the end of the corridor step by step.
Standing in front of the closed door of the morgue, Zhang Liang's back was almost soaked with cold sweat. Only now did he feel how stupid his idea was. Although no one here would expose him, in such an environment and atmosphere
, it is simply more difficult than letting him face a hundred doctors and nurses!
He took a few deep breaths to calm his racing heart, and then began to observe the closed door in front of him.
While Zhang Baobao was thinking about how to open the morgue door, suddenly, a door on the corridor behind him was opened, and then, a slightly hoarse voice came over: "Who are you? What do you do?"
In such a quiet environment, and in front of the morgue, such a voice suddenly appeared. Zhang Baojun felt that his heart stopped beating at that moment! He turned his head almost at the speed of light, and stepped back at the same time.
But before he could even take two steps back, he suddenly hit the morgue door with a louder sound!
Zhang Baoan looked carefully and saw that in the first room on the left in front of him, half of his body was leaning out, leaning on the door frame and looking straight at him!
Zhang Liang wanted to scream and run away at all costs, but no sound came out of his throat, and his legs were fixed in place like nails, unable to move at all.
The person at the door waited for a while, looking at Zhang Baoan like a fool. He just looked at himself without saying anything, and asked again impatiently: "What on earth do you do? This is a restricted area, and no one else is allowed to come.
Yes, you don’t know?”
Although the tone of these words was very harsh, to Zhang Bao Liang's ears, they sounded like the sound of nature. At least he could tell that this was a person speaking!
At this moment, Zhang Liang had the urge to burst into tears. He quickly calmed down and said, "Hello, I'm an intern at the hospital. We have an anatomy class tomorrow. My teacher asked me to come and check the materials used for class.
's corpse."
When the man heard what Zhang Liang said, he walked out of the room. Only then did Zhang Liang see his full face. He turned out to be an old man in his fifties!
The old man walked up to Zhang Baoan, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "How come I didn't know about this? Besides, I think you are very unfamiliar. Are you lying to me and trying to do something evil?"
Then he moved his hands to his waist, obviously trying to take out something.
Zhang Liang's heart suddenly tightened again. He never expected to meet such a difficult guard. He had no choice but to "invite" Director Bai out again, and repeatedly promised that he would come first to check on the guard.
, absolutely not causing any damage, so the uncle slowly let down his guard.
The uncle turned around and went back to the house, took out the key to the morgue, opened the door, and asked Zhang Badan, "Which body are you looking for?"
Zhang Bao thought for a moment and said, "It's the one that was just delivered the night before yesterday. My instructor said that corpse is more representative and is just right for our research."
The uncle muttered as he walked in: "A corpse is just a corpse, and it is representative. It is really sick to come here to do research in the middle of the night!"
Zhang Liang did not dare to speak and had no choice but to follow behind.
Soon the uncle brought Zhang Bao Liang to a corpse storage cabinet. This was the first time Zhang Bao Liang saw a real corpse storage cabinet. He finally understood why the hut in the backyard of the hospital that Bai Jingwen told him before was definitely not the place where the body was stored.
Morgue reasons.
The body storage cabinet here, both in style and appearance, is more than one grade higher than the "shabby iron" drawers in the hut, and all of them are powered by electricity for cooling. It can be said that as a corpse pretending to be dead,
Tools, the corpse storage cabinet here does seem a bit too "high-end"!
The uncle stepped forward and opened the door of the corpse cabinet. Then, he pulled out something like a stretcher with pulleys. There was a body bag on top of the stretcher. Obviously, the bag contained a dead person.
.
Zhang Baolan walked forward slowly, stretched out his trembling hand and put it on the zipper of the body bag. This should be the second time he saw a real corpse, and the corpse this time was one he recognized.
Zhang Liangbao couldn't describe what he felt in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly opened the zipper. As the zipper gradually went downwards, the appearance of the corpse slowly appeared in front of Zhang Liang's eyes. First, what was revealed was a pale face. Although it had lost all
It loses vitality, but you can still see the delicate and smooth skin.
etc……
This...this seems to be a woman's face?
Zhang Baoan was immediately stunned. He looked down again. Sure enough, the two bulges on the chest of the corpse immediately came into his eyes - this was indeed a woman!
