Chapter 5: The Ghost Kowtows to Man

  A safe.

  The safe in the archives room must be a confidential file of the school. Curiosity drove me again.

  Since I've come all this way, I shouldn't leave empty-handed; who knows, maybe I'll find some clues.

  The safe is a bit difficult for me, but it's not impossible to try. Now it's not possible to crack the password and open it, only can be broken open with tools.

  Open the safe's outer casing with a screwdriver, revealing the spare keyhole for the safe. The difficulty of opening the safe is much higher, requiring one to turn the password wheel while listening to the sound of the gears and also use an iron wire to grind the lock core.

  A 6-digit password, each digit had to be tried with numbers 1-9, it took a whole half hour before the safe was finally opened.

  Slowly opening the safe, stacks of file bags appeared before my eyes.

  Open the file bag.

  Found it! It's "her", my eyes were wide open, tense and didn't dare to blink.

  Looking at "her" photo, much more beautiful than a corpse, with prominent facial features, it's easy to confirm that it's "her".

  Her name is Chang Aiai, 25 years old, born in Heishui Township, Tongcheng City, North China. She was a resident doctor before her death and graduated from medical college one year ago, then worked as an intern in a local hospital.

  The first page is roughly her personal profile, turn to the second page.

  Autopsy report, the time of death was May 20th, during an emergency appendicitis surgery, the patient's vital signs suddenly disappeared, and rescue efforts were ineffective, resulting in death. This is considered a medical accident. Such words keep appearing in my mind.

  Further examination revealed a shocking discovery: the deceased was seven months pregnant, and the fetus was rescued through premature delivery.

  The last page was torn off, leaving only the upper half of the page with the corpse code and morgue cabinet number.

  Today is May 27th, it's been seven days since she passed away, I'm shocked. No wonder I saw a ghost.

  The body number is 5204444. This is the important information she reminded me of, and her child was born prematurely at seven months, with a very low chance of survival, is he still alive?

  Why are the files incomplete? What is written on the torn pages? How did a normal acute appendicitis surgery turn into a medical accident? I have many unresolved questions in my mind.

  I put "her" file into my backpack, restored the safe to its original state, and carefully searched the file room one by one, afraid of leaving any clues behind. After closing the door, I returned to the dormitory along the original route.

  Returned to the dormitory and saw that roommates were still sleeping soundly, so I felt relieved.

  Too many things happened today, I lay in bed thinking about what happened today, and a question kept swirling in my mind, "Why did she keep bothering me?"

  I sorted out my thoughts, a pregnant intern doctor who was determined to have acute appendicitis in the hospital's autopsy report appeared in the medical school's morgue. A normal appendectomy left the patient's life forever frozen on the operating table, what is called disappearance of physical reaction, anaphylaxis? Pre-operative tests didn't mention it at all. And where did the child go?

  I fell asleep amidst these doubts.

  "My child, my child, save my child." Just as I had fallen asleep, such a voice reached my ears.

  That pale face appeared in front of me again, it was "her", Chang Aier. She looked at me with a pleading expression, "Only you can save my child." She suddenly knelt down in front of me.

  "How can I help you?" I replied to her.

  "Find my corpse and you'll find the mastermind." As soon as she finished speaking, "she" vanished into thin air.

  I woke up, "she" appeared in my dream and asked me to help her find the mastermind behind the scenes. I firmly believe this because there is a saying in my hometown that if you dream of a ghost kneeling down, it means someone has been wronged, so on the second morning, burn an incense stick towards the south.

  Now all of this seems clear, and the top priority now is to find "her" body.

  It was soon daylight, and I arrived at the dissection building early, looking through all the corpses in the dissection labs. As I had expected, I couldn't find "her" corpse. Finally, my gaze still lingered on the first floor storage room, which was still sealed off by a wall, but the wall powder had all fallen off, leaving only the red wall body, looking particularly mottled.

  I must think of a way to get in, this storage room is sure to find clues. Before that, I need to figure out what happened here and why the school sealed it off. My mind was racing with thoughts.

  There is no clue at all now, only knowing that the corpse number can find a incomplete half-page file. What's different about this corpse number? My head is going to explode, and the clue just encountered a bottleneck.

  "Whatever, I won't think about it anymore. Tomorrow is the weekend anyway, I'll just ask Lin Mo to go out and relax with me. These past few days have been exhausting, I need to unwind properly." My heart suddenly felt a thrill of excitement as I thought of Xiaolongnv, and a sly smile spread across my face.

  "Hey, Lin, beautiful girl, are you free this weekend?"

  "Do we have a relationship? You're calling me so intimately." Lin Mo seemed to still be angry about what happened last time.

  "Lin, beautiful girl, last time was my fault, I had an urgent matter at that time, I apologize to you."

  "Hurry up and say what's on your mind, are you asking me out or something? Big man, don't be so hesitant."

  "I want to invite you to the amusement park to go crazy, are you interested?" I smiled slyly, looking at the tactics for picking up girls, one of which was to make her feel scared and think that she's safe in my arms.

  "Time and place." Brief and to the point.

  "Alright, alright, Saturday at 8am, I'll be waiting for you on time below the girls' dorm." My heart was overjoyed.

  With a click, Lin Mo hung up the phone. This little dragon girl still has a fiery temper, I'd better not provoke her in the future. But now my heart is blooming with joy.

  Time flies, it was Saturday, I was waiting under the girls' dormitory at 7:30. There's an old saying that if a person is ugly, they should read more books. I think if a person is ugly, they should be more diligent.

  However, Lin Mo slowly came out of his dormitory after waiting for an hour.

  "Sister, what are you doing? I've been waiting for you for an hour." I was on the verge of tears.

  "Can't you see any change in me?" Lin Mo raised an S-shaped eyebrow, his face slightly tilted.

  "What's wrong? Your face is so red, like a monkey's butt. What's going on with your eyes, are you sick or something? How come the color has changed? And your eyelashes need to be trimmed, how did they get so long?" I teased Lin Mo, looking at her made-up face.

  Lin Mo suddenly pinched me and grabbed my ear.

  "It's not easy for me to put on makeup, and you say I look like a monkey's butt. You have the guts to say it again." Lin Mo was so angry that his eyes were about to spout fire.

  "Oh dear, big sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong. You're very forgiving and you look great." His ear was pinched painfully, so he apologized in a hurry.

  I actually thought in my heart that my chest wasn't this big two days ago, how did it become so big, did I wear a padded bra? But I didn't dare say it out loud.

  Lin Mo looked at me and apologized, loosening his grip, "This is more like it, quickly call Her Majesty the Queen."

  "Your Majesty, I pay my respects." I said in a hypocritical tone.

  Lin Mo was amused by this and burst out laughing, I said how did his mood change so quickly.

  Soon, I arrived at the playground by bus.

  Student ID half price, I thought to myself that I could save a lot of money. "Lin Da beauty, do you have your student ID? Half price, what a bargain!" I said while taking out my student ID.

  "I didn't bring it." Lin Mo said curtly.

  A loud crack in the clear sky, "How could you not bring it? Now we're in big trouble." I thought to myself.

  "Alright, I didn't bring it." I painfully pulled out all the money, my hands shaking.

  "I have a gold card, it's free." Lin Mo looked at me being so stingy and directly took out a gold card to hand over to the ticket seller.

  "Hello, Gold Card member, are you with this gentleman?" the ticket seller asked politely.

  "Who is with him, he gives it to himself." Lin Mo looked at me with a face of disgust.

  I gazed at her with an expectant look, thinking that selling cuteness could save so much money, it was worth it.

  Lin Mo saw my eyes making a vomiting gesture, I was slapping my hot face on a cold butt, men can't be so undignified, I've decided.

  "Lin big sister, you say, we are together, right?" I said coquettishly.

  "Yang Guo, that's enough."
