Chapter 1034: Chapter 719: Autopsy Report_2
"Bang!!"
This sudden noise made Boss Sun instantly much more awake. Trembling, he continued, "But no one expected that something would happen on the way back!"
"The driver was in too much of a hurry, with poor night visibility and was driving fatigued for a long time. The car overturned on a mountain road, taking both the driver and the car down the valley."
"At the bottom of the valley was a large river, just in time for the rainy season, the river water was raging. The four people in the car, none of them got out, they all disappeared, and the car... the car was washed away too, with the bodies disappearing along with it."
What a coincidence, Yang Xiao confirmed it was the fierce ghost’s heavy resentment turning back to take revenge.
However, there was one thing Yang Xiao hadn’t figured out, since the female ghost’s body was left in the river, why was the ghost so obsessed with going to the basement on the negative first floor of the hospital?
He had initially guessed that the female ghost’s body was placed there, and she wanted to find her body, but at present, that did not seem to be the case.
The next second, an image of the female ghost floated in Yang Xiao’s mind, especially the rough cut wound on her abdomen.
That wasn’t left by an autopsy, it looked like someone had cut open her belly to take something out of it.
"It’s the child!" Yang Xiao immediately had a theory, "This woman’s child was stolen and hidden in the basement on the negative first floor. She’s looking for her child!"
"The child..." Boss Sun was stunned. He didn’t understand from where Yang Xiao had come to this conclusion, how suddenly a child appeared.
Qu Hong, however, reacted quickly. After thinking for a while, she nodded repeatedly, "It’s very possible. A pregnant female corpse doesn’t sell for a good price, so these beasts cut open her belly, took the child, and then sold the woman as an unmarried girl to that family!"
Hearing this, cold sweat dripped down Boss Sun’s back. He originally thought he was ruthless enough to make money, but compared to the people in this hospital, what he did was child’s play. These people were too vicious. To cut out the child and sell the mother, they truly accumulated no virtue at all.
"What’s written in the woman’s autopsy report?" Yang Xiao suddenly asked.
Boss Sun came back to his senses, frowning, "The file says she died of a sudden disease; she died very quickly."
"Be more specific," Yang Xiao said.
"Just those few words, nothing more."
Yang Xiao nodded, the situation was already very clear. This woman was probably murdered. Other than her abdomen, Yang Xiao saw no other injuries on the woman, and he judged that she was likely poisoned. In the hospital, mixing up some specific medications could achieve similar effects; this would not be difficult for Yin Kun.
Another basis for Yang Xiao’s judgment was the state of the female ghost. Her eyes were hollow, her sense of smell failed; she could only kill by feeling. Her eyes were blind, ears could hear no sounds, her senses disabled, this was very clearly disabling poisoning.
Additionally, to ensure the corpse sold for a good price, there could not be any obvious external injuries, especially on the head and face.
Yang Xiao sighed over the woman’s plight. He guessed that the child in the woman’s belly was not conceived of her own free will. Either Yin Kun or Vice Director Huang was the father of the child, most likely the latter.
Killing the woman and selling her body might not have been premeditated; it might have just been an accident. Boss Sun mentioned that the woman’s health was good when she was admitted, meaning the pregnancy occurred after she entered the hospital.
Yang Xiao roughly calculated that the woman had been in the hospital for over half a year by then. By that time, her belly must have grown big, and it was hard to hide. Vice Director Huang ordered the poisoning, and the attending doctor Yin Kun was the perfect executioner.
The duo staged the incident as a sudden illness, trying to deceive everyone.
And what’s more despairing is the long time span of this atrocity; the medical staff in the hospital couldn’t possibly be completely unaware, but no one spoke up. Yang Xiao guessed this was the real reason the female ghost slaughtered the whole hospital block.
"Boss Chu... Boss Chu, and news about Huang Zhihong, do you want to hear it?" Boss Sun dared not disturb Yang Xiao’s thoughts and asked tentatively.
This Huang Zhihong was the real name of Vice Director Huang.
"Speak," Yang Xiao’s face looked grim.
"Huang Zhihong has been the Vice Director of De Ren Hospital for many years, holding a high position inside the hospital. It’s just that this person has some... peculiarities. He has been married twice but both ended in divorce, each time very unpleasant. According to one of his ex-wives, Huang Zhihong is an out-and-out pervert. He... he enjoys sadism, his methods are strange and brutal, making it impossible to accept, and... regardless of gender."
"Bisexual," Qu Hong immediately thought of the women’s pajamas and high heels found in the Sijing Building bedroom closet.
"A bisexual pervert," Yang Xiao corrected. The several pairs of high heels in the closet were clearly men’s sizes, seemingly harmless, but quite daring in lifestyle.
Yang Xiao somewhat sympathized with the patients in the hospital. Perhaps the woman’s experience was not an isolated case; some male patients might have also suffered at his hands.
This was not a hospital to heal and save, but an absolute den of evil. The scene of the maniac tearing at his clothes last night still vividly in memory had become a shadow in Yang Xiao’s heart, likening himself to others, and the female ghost’s tragic fate was all the more heartbreaking.
Recollecting these images in his mind, Yang Xiao didn’t eat much for dinner. By the time the three of them returned to the vicinity of the hospital, the sky slowly darkened.
As before, at precisely 8 o’clock, Yang Xiao and the two others entered the dark hospital building again, arriving at the third-floor nurse’s station amidst the deathly silence.
"This is Chu Xi, do you read me?" Yang Xiao picked up the intercom, repeatedly calling.
"Can you hear me? This is Chu Xi, please respond immediately!"
"Zzzz..."
"Zzz... zzzz..."
Soon, static electric noise transmitted through the speaker of the intercom, and at the same time, the red light in the resting room behind them quietly lit up.
"Zzz... zzzz... this is... Zhou... zzzz... tonight... it’s me... I’m guarding... the third-floor nurse’s station."
The intercom transmitted a broken human voice; it was Captain Zhou’s voice. Hearing this voice, Yang Xiao finally breathed a full sigh of relief.
Captain Zhou was still alive; this was undoubtedly good news.
It was also from Captain Zhou’s words that Yang Xiao learned just how perilous last night was. Tao Anyun had died, and Captain Zhou himself had almost met the same fate if it weren’t for Xu Yiqiu, who courageously sneaked out the keys by himself and delivered them to the hospital in time.
Now Captain Zhou’s team had only three people left alive: Captain Zhou himself, Mu Xiuzhu, and Xu Yiqiu.
Tonight, it was still Captain Zhou and Xu Yiqiu teaming up—one guarding the third floor, one guarding the first floor, ready to support Yang Xiao at any moment.
Yang Xiao quickly relayed the situation of Wu Qiao’s death last night. Upon hearing that a bald large man had killed Wu Qiao, Captain Zhou immediately responded, realizing this person was the violent maniac he had used as a scapegoat.
This violent maniac was transferred by him from the special care ward on the first floor to the third floor, unexpectedly becoming a ghost after death, and killing Wu Qiao.
However, what worried Captain Zhou more was that they accidentally discovered another hidden rule within the hospital—each patient used as a scapegoat would turn into a ghost, remaining in their original ward, attacking anyone who approached.
And more terrifying was that such attacks were unpredictable and undefendable because these ’night shift doctors’ couldn’t see them; only an outsider like Yang Xiao could do so.
The most conservative approach was to seal off these wards and advise both Yang Xiao and the ’night shift doctors’ to not get close.
"I’ll handle this matter; you keep good records." Captain Zhou’s voice was flat and steady, accompanied by the sound of flipping paper, "Currently, five known scapegoat patients, located in wards 341, 327, 211, 238, and 122."
Yang Xiao listened while searching and marking these rooms on his hand-drawn map of the hospital, marking them with crosses.
"Last night’s operation proved your plan is feasible. Tonight, you go through ward 317. I’ve already prepared everything; Xu Yiqiu will meet you on the first floor." Captain Zhou’s speech was rapid but very clear.
