Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

Hospital elevators are always hard to wait for.

There are people going up and down almost every floor, and people stay on every floor.

Therefore, more and more people will gather at the elevator entrance waiting for the elevator.

Finally, the door of elevator No. [-] opened.

But by the time they could get on, the elevator was almost full.

Tan Jie looked next to him and saw that elevator No. [-] had already gone down to the second floor.

He grabbed his mother and said to Bai Ji'an, "Let's sit next to her. It won't be crowded."

It would be nice not to have so many people.

As soon as the No. [-] elevator door closed, the No. [-] elevator door reached the first floor.

At this time, in addition to Bai Ji'an and the three people waiting outside the elevator, there was also an old man in his seventies carrying a steamed bun.

Finally, the door of elevator No. [-] shook slightly.

People waiting in front of the elevator instinctively move forward.

Slowly, the elevator door opened, and the first thing that came into view was not people standing next to each other, but a spiritual flag with black characters on a white background.

There is a dark man hidden behind the spiritual flag. Seeing the elevator door open wide, he walked out with a sullen face, pulling a stretcher bed behind him. The person on the bed was wrapped in golden cloth, which was tightly fitted from the head down. Only a pair of trousers with embroidered patterns were exposed underneath. White sole.

It's someone who has died.

Looking at the fluttering spiritual flags held in the air and the dead people close at hand. Mother Tan had goosebumps all over her body. She had always been afraid of this, so she could only grab her son's arm and instinctively hide back.

Tan's mother was scared, and Tan Jie had never seen this scene before.

It stands to reason that he is not completely unafraid of the dead. But in the previous stage, he personally dug out a rotting corpse from under the tree with a shovel, and his endurance suddenly reached its peak.

Now, looking at the body wrapped in golden cloth, I feel nothing but curiosity.

"Don't stare." Mother Tan whispered in Tan Jie's ear, "It's not good."

Tan Jie withdrew his gaze. He also felt that it was impolite to stare straight at him.

"Aren't you coming in?"

Tan Jie and his son looked forward and saw that Bai Ji'an and the [-]-year-old man waiting for the elevator with them were already standing inside.

Tan Jie wanted to follow him, but his mother hung on him as if her legs were weak.

"Mom, let's go."

Mother Tan looked straight at the dimly lit and inexplicably eerie elevator and said, "Do we have to take this ride? We can't wait any longer."

"There's no time to wait. Didn't you tell me already? Aunt An is very anxious!" After saying that, Tan Jie directly pulled his mother in and closed the elevator door.

The old man who was traveling with him saw Tan Jie's mother's nervousness and comforted him: "It's okay. There are dead people coming in and out of this hospital every day. This is what scares you when you see it with your own eyes. There are many things you haven't seen. No matter where you go, Every elevator is the same."

The implication is that there are six elevators in total, and each of them has been ridden by dead people.

"You can tell at a glance that you don't come to the hospital often. People in the hospital see dead people just like they see living people. Especially doctors and nurses. They have been doing this for a long time. No matter what kind of people they are, they are used to it. It's long since It’s just numb.”

"Numb." Tan Jie didn't believe it, "That's a human being. No matter how accustomed he is, he won't be numb."

"Why not? I have been hospitalized for many years because of lung problems. Everyone in the hospital knows almost everyone. The doctors and nurses in the inpatient department will not raise their eyebrows when they see the patients who have given up the treatment. When I encounter loss Children of loved ones crying in pain will also take the initiative to remind them not to be too loud, as it will affect other patients’ rest.”

"...Isn't that a little too cold?"

"No, it's not indifference. It's that they can't allow themselves to empathize if they choose this job. Think about it, if you feel sad every time you see life and death, then you step into the hospital to work every day, and see these things that make you sad every day. What makes you sad is that sooner or later you will be depressed, and the person will be finished with it."

Ding dong, we’re on the eighth floor and the elevator door opens.

The old man didn't say anything, just carried the bun and walked out of the elevator calmly.

Tan Jie looked at the old man's back until the elevator door closed again.

The brief conversation made Tan Jie feel a little depressed. He couldn't tell what kind of mood he felt. In short, he felt as if his previous understanding had been subverted unconsciously when he saw the spiritual flag floating in the air.

tenth floor.

Bai Ji'an went straight to the end of the corridor, where An Yuyuan was located in Ward 17.

Tan Jie and Tan's mother followed and were stopped when they passed the nurse's station.

"Aunt Zhang."

Tan's mother turned around, and sure enough, someone called her.

It was a familiar nurse, but she couldn't remember her name.

"what happened?"

The nurse looked at Bai Ji'an's back and asked, "Are you two together?"

Mother Tan felt a little guilty, so she nodded, "Yes."

"Is he a policeman? Or something?"

The destination ward originally had only one patient under An Yuyuan's care.

Now that something happened in that room, it was causing a commotion, and even the police came, so naturally we had to be more vigilant.

Tan's mother didn't know how to explain, fearing that the nurse would not cooperate if she knew Bai Ji'an's true identity.

She squeezed Tan Jie's hand gently and asked her son for help.

Tan Jie couldn't open his eyes and tell lies. He could only say in a vague tone: "He is responsible for the investigation."

"Ah, that's right. Then tell him not to touch it, especially the disinfecting lamp above the bed."

After agreeing to the nurse, Tan Jie immediately took his mother to room 17.

There are four beds in Room 17. The outermost bed is surrounded by bed curtains, with a faint blue light coming from inside.

"A Yuan said that the doctor had notified the old lady of critical condition a long time ago, and because she could not save her, he stopped all the medicine very early. Although no one rushed her out of the hospital, to put it bluntly, she just stayed here and waited. Die. Just look at the three blank beds next to it."

"A blank bed?"

"Yes. When Yuan was not busy at work, I often came back to stay with her, which was a way to relieve her boredom. When the old lady could still eat, there were other patients in the ward. But later on, the old lady's condition worsened day by day. Out of consideration for other patients, the hospital transferred all the other patients to other wards, leaving her alone."

The medicine has been stopped, the disease is still getting worse, and all the patients have left, and the doctors and nurses know it all.

Everyone knows that the old lady in Ward 17 does not have much time left.

Tan Jie felt sad just thinking about that scene.

Bai Ji'an turned around to look at Tan's mother and asked, "Where is the body now?"

"In the funeral home. The old lady's eldest son said that if this matter is not investigated clearly, he will never be cremated and buried."
