Midnight Morgue
It was June 27th, almost two months after the bus incident.
As time passed, the fishing boats finally calmed down.
This seemed to only become a topic of conversation when people were bored. As for the truth behind it, very few people cared.
Qingcheng Zhongshan Hospital was the largest public hospital in Qingcheng City. It could be said to be the medical authority in Qingcheng City. After nearly two months of noise, it was finally about to welcome peace.
In the corridor of the hospital, a doctor was holding a document as he walked and said to a nurse beside him,
"The last unconscious patient can be discharged now. Just bring her back to handle the procedures.”
The nurse nodded. This news was also something to be happy about.
Zhongshan Hospital was the most authoritative hospital. The 30 people who had gone missing and fainted on the bus were naturally arranged to receive treatment here. The increase of 30 people not only increased the work pressure in the inpatient area, but also dealt with the paparazzi who wanted to sneak in and take pictures from time to time, as well as the reporters who surrounded the door every day.
Now, with the gradual recovery of the thirty people, the last person could finally be discharged today. This made the medical staff heave a sigh of relief.
"Doctor Zhang, what do you think caused the coma this time?”
In her spare time, the nurse asked the most curious question in her heart.
However, the doctor looked around and shook his head.
"Actually, we haven't found out anything yet. The patient's physical condition is extremely good, and we can't find any reason for her coma.
Strangely enough, this is the most confusing thing I've ever encountered in my medical career.”
The nurse asked in confusion,
"Yeah, and not only is the condition strange, but the reason why the bus disappeared is also quite strange. It seems that there is no accurate answer yet, right?”
The doctor nodded gently."
"I feel that this matter isn't ordinary, but who knows? Even if we're curious, we won't be able to find any answers…"
The two of them chatted as they walked towards the office, but this conversation represented the views of many people on this matter.
There was something else, but there was no way to investigate.
……
At this time, it was already late at night. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. At one o'clock in the morning, Zhongshan Hospital was finally no longer crowded.
The clinic was dimly lit, and the doctor on duty was sleepy.
The entire building was 18 floors high, and each department had a clear division of labor. The inpatient departments on the 15th floor and above were even more crowded at this time. Many patients could only hang one bed in the corridor.
The 18th floor of this building was filled with people almost every day, but very few people visited the basement of this building.
It was because there was only one lonely department there: In the morgue.
It was late at night, and the dim light in the morgue's guard room would always flicker because of the unstable circuit.
The gatekeeper, Old Zhang, had been in this position for more than ten years.
He had no children and had a strange personality. It seemed that he preferred to stay with the corpse in the freezer behind the door.
Old Zhang lay on the bed in the small room with his eyes closed, recalling what had happened today.
In the morning, another corpse was sent over. It was a girl. She was in her youth, but she died because the patient's treatment was ineffective.
According to the regulations, after the corpse was parked here, the family members had to quickly take care of the funeral and take the corpse away. Otherwise, it would be a high mortuary fee.
Old Zhang also inadvertently glanced curiously at the girl who was pushed into the morgue. She had a delicate face. If she was not sick, she would definitely be a cute girl.
"Sigh…"
Thinking of this, he sighed softly, lamenting that life was unpredictable and that life and death were uncertain.
"Thump thump…"
At this moment, Old Zhang suddenly heard a faint knocking sound in his ear, which made him sit up.
He picked his ears in confusion, even thinking that he had heard wrongly.
This was a morgue, and it was always quiet. Where did that sound come from?
"Thump thump…"
It was that sound again, and it came from behind the two iron doors. It seemed that something was constantly knocking on something.
Old Zhang had been here for ten years and had never lost to anyone in terms of courage. Therefore, although he felt that it was strange, he did not think too much about it.
He stood up and walked to the monitor, wanting to see the surveillance footage inside.
As Zhongshan Hospital was the largest public hospital, they purchased a batch of simulated cameras. Although the image was extremely poor and the black and white screen could not record sound, such facilities were considered advanced in this era.
"Rustle…"
However, he was surprised to find that the only camera in the morgue had turned into a snowflake screen.
Old Zhang patted the screen, but there was still no image, which made him feel very strange.
"Thump thump…"
The knocking sound was slow but rhythmic. The deep sound was especially obvious in this silence.
Old Zhang looked at the door of the morgue not far away through the window in confusion. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the flashlight and walked over.
Above the door, under the yellow light, the three words 'mortuary' exuded a chill.
Old Zhang slowly approached the door but did not open it immediately. Instead, he pressed his ear against the door and held his breath, listening carefully to the sounds inside.
"Thump thump…"
It was that knocking sound again. Old Zhang was instantly stunned. The people inside were all dead people. Why would there be such a sound?
Old Zhang, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, immediately turned around and went back to get the key, intending to investigate.
When he returned to the front of the door again, he was still a little uncertain, and his hands were slightly trembling.
Finally, the key was inserted into the door. With a heavy grinding sound, Old Zhang opened the door a crack and slowly walked in.
"Ah!"
However, not long after, Old Zhang's heart-wrenching scream came from the morgue. His voice was filled with fear and hopelessness.
The huge morgue on the first underground floor seemed to have returned to silence all of a sudden. No one heard Old Zhang's cry, nor did they hear the subtle sounds coming from the corridor.
It sounded as if someone was walking slowly barefoot.
……
The next day…
Qingcheng City's National Security Branch, Key Case Investigation Unit One, was currently reviewing the case that had just been completed.
As the most outstanding major crimes investigation team in the government, Li Xue, who was known as the police flower, led her team members to solve many strange cases.
At this moment, Li Xue, who was already the leader of the first group, was only in her twenties.
Coupled with her beautiful appearance and graceful figure, she became the publicly recognized goddess of the authorities.
However, she was still single. The authorities were worried about this, but Li Xue did not like anyone she introduced. This made the authorities worried, but there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, Li Xue was sitting in her office, seriously recording the information of the case. The morning sun shone on the side of her face, stretching her figure, making the office look like a painting.
At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the corridor. Team One's deputy leader, Lin Dong, anxiously pushed open the office door.
The sudden turn of events made Li Xue raise her head, and when she saw Lin Dong's anxious expression, she frowned."
Lin Dong, what happened?"
Lin Dong panted heavily, and after a while, he could barely speak."
"Team Leader, Zhongshan Hospital reported that Old Zhang, who was guarding the morgue, was found dead in the morgue today.”
Li Xue felt a little strange when she heard that."
"Inform the Criminal Investigation Unit. This matter shouldn't be within the scope of our Key Case Investigation Unit.”
However, Lin Dong shook his head and said,"
"There's one more thing that's very strange. That's why the Criminal Investigation Unit transferred this case to our Key Case Investigation Unit."
"What's wrong?" Li Xue asked curiously.”
Lin Dong stammered,"
"The people at the hospital found Old Zhang dead in the morgue. At the same time, a body disappeared.”
