Mysterious Morgue 1

  After seeing off Lao Hongjun, Duan Lao and others came in from outside the ward. When Liao Dongfeng saw Duan Lao for a moment, he suddenly remembered what he had heard that night when he was injured, which was also mentioned by Duan Lao and Hai Chen about raising corpses. Why did he think of this? The reason is that before, Lao Hongjun said that the hospital's corpse had gone missing.

  Just as Duan Lao was surprised that Lou Hongjun could help, Liao Dongfeng suddenly asked: "Duan Lao, have you heard about the hospital losing a corpse?"

  Duan Lao was taken aback for a moment before answering, "I heard about it when you were admitted. It's said that thirteen corpses went missing in total, and they still haven't been found yet."

  "Everyone is dead and won't move, where can they go? Is it the organ traffickers who did this? I remember my grandfather telling me about the flower child case, could this be related?"

  "I don't think so, because the flower thief is a soul-calling messenger who forcibly takes lives, what they need are living mouths, dead people are useless."

  Duan Lao finished speaking, and Liao Dongfeng immediately added: "Then have you heard of corpse breeding? This industry should still exist domestically, right?"

  "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of eavesdroppers, I'll tell you more about it tonight."

  Duan Lao avoided asking questions, indicating that he also knew something about the corpse-raising business. As a seasoned old hand who had been involved in tomb raiding, his courage and experience were not to be underestimated. He was being cautious for a reason, so Liao Dongfeng didn't ask any more questions. After lunch, they lay down to rest, quietly waiting for nightfall.

  The daytime was still quite pleasant, but as soon as night fell, the sky became a different story. Outside the window, strong winds howled and whistled, making a very frightening sound. I remembered my grandfather telling me about "moonless nights for murder" and "windy days for arson". As for where these sayings came from, Liao Dongfeng wasn't quite clear, but he knew they were ancient phrases. Just then, Duan Lao and Old Du came in from outside, Old Du put down the dinner, and Duan Lao ordered him to go back to sleep first.

  Just as Old Du turned around, Liao Dongfeng saw the unease in his heart from his face. At that time, Liao Dongfeng didn't ask because he knew Old Du was an honest man who couldn't hide things in his heart. Maybe there was something on his mind, but it wasn't necessarily so. Liao Dongfeng also didn't want to pry into what wasn't pleasant.

  On the one hand, he was extremely hungry, and on the other hand, he couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious dinner. Liao Dongfeng completely forgot the two sentences he had said earlier. Duan Lao looked at Liao Dongfeng's eating posture at this time and finally couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, your stomach can't take it if you eat so fast."

  Liao Dongfeng could hear it, but he didn't raise his head to look at Duan Lao, so he had no idea about the changes in Duan Lao's expression, sinister, ruthless, and with a ferocious glare that couldn't be described in words.

  After dinner, Liao Dongfeng originally wanted to chat with Duan Lao for a while, but unexpectedly, within less than half an hour, drowsiness gradually intensified, and soon he couldn't resist falling into a deep sleep.

  It wasn't until midnight that the hospital corridor was empty, with only two dim lamps hanging from the ceiling, and a faint light coming from the nurse's room, where the sound of female nurses chatting could be heard from time to time. Apart from this, the rest of the place was almost pitch black.

  At that time, hospitals were not as standardized as they are now. Except for severe infectious diseases and pregnant women, all patients were basically mixed together.

  The Xi'an Municipal Hospital was not very large, with only two four-story buildings, and fewer than 200 rooms that could accommodate patients. At the time, both buildings were packed with patients.

  The first floor is not only a place for doctors to ask questions during normal times, but also has a pharmacy, a charging department, a toilet, a water room, and a duty room.

  People didn't often go to the hospital, firstly because people's average income was too low at that time, and those who got minor illnesses or injuries simply didn't need medical treatment. Secondly, people thought hospitals were not clean and were afraid of catching something dirty. Although the hospital tried every means to change this situation, there was no source of funding at that time, let alone sponsorship. As a result, things remained as they were for a long time.

  The building on the south side of the hospital has a basement, where the morgue is located. At this time, several subordinates of Luo Lianchang were guarding here, hiding in the corner and waiting quietly for the appearance of the grave robbers.

  The time had reached past 2 am, and the people waiting still hadn't seen the grave robber appear. They only saw a few staff members bring in three corpses, and at this time, all the staff members were resting. The mortuary was left with only one old deaf mute man on duty, so it was eerily quiet. The people waiting hastily drank some liquor to boost their courage.

  The wine had not even reached his stomach when he suddenly heard the creaking sound of the corridor door opening, a sound that had considerable penetrating power in the quiet night and was especially intimidating to someone who should not be appearing at this place.

  Several people squatting at the door quietly looked out through the gap, and saw a white shadow slowly walking out. Although they couldn't see who it was clearly, they could see that only doctors wear such a white coat.

  Several people thought: It should be the duty personnel who went out. However, within less than half a minute, the corridor door creaked again, and it should have been the person on duty who came back.

  However, at this moment, a person by the door suddenly fell backwards, and others rushed to help him up. As a result, they found that he was covered in sweat, his face was pale, and he kept saying: "I saw six people walking out again."
