Good luck and peace

Today is the seventh day of going to work on the second basement floor of the Third People's Hospital of Xicheng District.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, apart from the cold mortuary cabinet as always, there were piles of recorded documents piled up.

There are not many bodies left that have not been collected this week, only two.One was a child who died of heart failure, Wu Xiaoyu, who was sent four days ago.One is Lin Shen, a woman who died of uterine cancer delivered yesterday morning.

Ordinary corpses can only be stored in the hospital mortuary for three days, but the Third Hospital seems to be extra tolerant in this regard, three days is too tight for a suburban hospital.

Wu Jinting flipped through this week's notebook, and chatted with Qu Jiu casually.

Qu Jiu was a somewhat strange person, always wearing a high-necked black sweater. Wu Jinting felt that his face was a little paralyzed, and his smile was very unnatural, but there were no other problems.

"The child is so nice." He said Wu Xiaoyu.

Wu Jinting was at a loss when he heard it: "What's the matter, my stomach is swollen like a ball."

Qu Jiu smiled: "Do you know how long it takes for a cat to become mature?"

Why are you talking about cats again?Wu Jinting shook his head.

"A kitten before half a year old basically won't recognize its owner, so even if it dies, it doesn't have anything in its heart." Qu Jiu's expression was gloomy, and the tip of his index finger slowly circled the table, "It's the same with the child, who died young , Only grown-ups know how to be sad, and he doesn't."

"You're not him, how do you know he won't?"

Zifeiyu theory.

"I just know it."

See, I can't tell why.

The time spent with Qu Jiu felt unreal.Time is passing, and there is no change in a minute and a second, but it makes people feel short and vague.Wu Jinting always fell asleep in the middle of the night, and then was woken up by Lao Li at his desk.

And Lao Li seemed to have finally found out in his conscience that Xiao Wu was on night shift every day this week, his face was yellow and thin, his eyes were blue, and he was a different person from the vigorous young man when he came.

"Xiao Wu, you should go back to rest early today."

Wu Jinting, who was in a trance, didn't realize it for a moment: "Huh?"

"I said I'll give you a day off and rest well. No matter how young you are, you can't break your body."

What about Naqujiu! ?He had to be notified, but it was only then that Wu Jinting realized that the two had known each other for a week without even having a contact method.

Seeing his hesitation, Lao Li lamented that the kid must be stupid and not active in things like holidays: "Come on, hurry home."

When Wu Jinting came home and looked in the mirror, he was also terrified by his state, hey, what you see in the mirror is a person or a ghost! ?It looked like his body had been hollowed out, no wonder he was driven back by Lao Li.

His mind was also at a loss, and he thought that when Qu Jiu saw Lao Li, he would act accordingly. That guy looked like a big fool, and his mouth was still very slippery.

Then I fell into bed and slept until noon the next day.

When they reached the second basement floor, the sound of snoring echoed throughout the empty and closed room.This is a stunt, and the thunderous snoring scares the ghosts away.

Wu Jinting walked lightly to the desk, and saw a record book laid out flat, and the pages turned over happened to be from the week before he came.Because this book was just finished, so this week's notes were recorded in a new book, and he didn't turn over the previous ones.

Anyway, I have nothing to do, let's take a look, it's a work need.

Ah, the first one was death in a car accident, from a shattered skull.

Forget it, don't read it.People's associations are very rich. You can see only four words, but you have already imagined the scene of the car accident in your mind.

and many more.

At the end of this page, there is a name, which is particularly eye-catching.

Qu Chongjiu, died at 2018:10 on October 14, 14, male, 12 years old, the cause of death was drowning and rescue was invalid.

Every record on this page was ticked, indicating that the body was claimed and taken away by the family members, except for Qu Chongjiu, who had a circle behind it.

Wu Jinting felt trembling at the moment, and even his legs were weak when he walked to Lao Li's side.

"Old Li." The words were almost broken, and he steadied his breath and called out even louder, "Old Li!"

Finally, the loud snoring stopped, and Lao Li woke up with a start: "What are you doing!?"

"This man, Qu Zhongjiu, where is the body?"

Lao Li rubbed his eyes and recalled: "Yesterday I went to the Public Security Bureau, why? Do you know him?"

It's ridiculous!

"...Not sure, I have to go to the Public Security Bureau."

It's ridiculous, how is it possible.This is too coincidental, the names are similar, the ages are similar, everything is similar except life and death.The person who drank coke and talked about life together a few days ago actually appeared in the record book of the mortuary a week ago.Although Wu Jinting tried his best to deny this association, thoughts kept popping up, filling his mind to the brim.

"Hello, I'm the mortician at the morgue of the Third People's Hospital. A corpse was brought here yesterday. May I have a look?" Wu Jinting's sweat dripped on the desk of the consultation office, and the big drops followed One drop, with no intention of stopping.

The short-haired girl in police uniform frowned slightly when she saw his anxious look: "Wait a minute."

She made a phone call, and after a while a man came downstairs, dressed in a white robe, who looked like a forensic doctor.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

Wu Jinting caught sight of the name tag on his left chest: Yan Xu.

"I want to see you..." He didn't finish his sentence.

"I know, I'm asking why I want to see him."

It stands to reason that it has nothing to do with your hospital morgue if the body is sent to the Public Security Bureau.

Yan Xu's face was straight, not angry and pretentious, coupled with the aloof temperament exuding from his body, it was a bit scary.

"There is something I want to confirm." Wu Jinting tried his best to calm down his mood, just to confirm that things might turn around.

Yan Xu didn't say anything else, and led Wu Jinting upstairs.Walking to an autopsy room that seemed to be vacated temporarily, the incandescent lamp inside was brightly lit, and there was a person lying on the cold big iron bed, not a person, just a corpse.

The work of forensic medicine is really not done by ordinary people, and those who can do this job are definitely not ordinary people.

Wu Jinting approached with his nose pinched. Fortunately, the body of the corpse was covered with a layer of white cloth so that he would not be able to see any tissues in the dissected stomach.

The corpse was extremely swollen, with messy black hair, two eyes protruding like fish eyes, and the whole face was blue-gray.Wu Jinting secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't look like Qu Jiu at all.

Yan Xu saw his every word and deed, and the man smiled slyly, and rummaged through the desk.

"This is a photo of him when he was alive." Yan Xu handed over a photo of his ID that was pulled out from the pile of physical evidence.

But it's a very ordinary photo with a red background. In the photo, the corner of the person's mouth curled up into a smile, full of energy.

"Do you know?" Yan Xu asked.

Wu Jinting shook his head and handed the photo back: "I don't know, thank you, Mr. Yan, I'm leaving first."

Turning around to leave, Yan Xu added: "This is a murder case."

Wu Jinting came out of the Public Security Bureau as if fleeing and stopped a taxi to drive back. If he stayed here for another minute, he was afraid that he would go crazy on the spot.

I know, I know!The person in the photo is Qu Jiu!No matter how vague his memory of the relationship between the two was, the deep impression he had upon seeing Qu Jiu for the first time was indelible!But he couldn't tell anyone that he knew him.

"How did you meet?"

"We chatted together a few days ago."

It is impossible for anyone to believe it, and maybe even suspect that he has some strange habit, daring to use the body of the deceased privately, which is an extra crime.

At this point the staunch materialists began to waver.

He was sure that in his first 22 years, he had never seen Qu Jiu. Even if he had, at most, he was just a passer-by who passed by, and never stayed in his memory for a moment.So what the hell is going on!

Fuck!

What the hell is going on!

hell!This time it's really hell!

Seeing Xiao Wu who came back with a dazed expression, Lao Li guessed something: "Really know each other?"

Wu Jinting obviously did not intend to share the matter with Lao Li, and then shook his head: "I may have to resign."

"What's the matter?" I thought that this daring master could stay for at least a month, but I didn't expect to go to the police station and see a dead body, and then yelled to resign.

"Old Li." Wu Jinting glanced at Lao Li, hesitated to speak, "Hey, it's my business."

"Come on, young people have their own ideas." Lao Li packed up his things, "Go home and have dinner."

Hey, why are you leaving!Wu Jinting opened his mouth to keep Lao Li, but now when he thinks that he is going to watch the night alone, his back gets chills, and he has completely lost the excitement of looking forward to Lao Li's return a few days ago.

But what Lao Li said reminded him that young people have their own ideas, so what is Qu Jiu's ideas?

Although things developed weirdly, they did not cause any substantial harm to him.On second thought, is Qu Jiu a ghost or some residual ideology?Now any superstition is worth believing.Besides, there may be a reason for Qu Jiu to find him, and he can't just want to brag with them for no reason, that's not possible.

Wu Jinting went out to get takeaway, but he had no appetite at all, just to make Qu Jiu appear.Unfortunately, Qu Jiu did not appear.He was a little disappointed, as soon as his butt touched the bench, there was a knock on the door.There was no ding-dong sound of the elevator, nor the rolling sound of the pulleys of the hospital bed, nothing at all, except for the strong knocking on the door, knocking three times in a row.

Wu Jinting's heart was in his throat, the door was not locked, and it could be opened by turning the handle.

"Come in." He replied.

Then there were three consecutive knocks on the door.Damn, it's scary!I said, please come in, why do you still have to knock!Now Wu Jinting began to hesitate whether to open the door or not.

Manly man, what the hell is there to be afraid of! ?

He went over to open the door with all his might, and made an impatient expression: "I told you to come in, don't you know how to come in?"

The person outside the door is Qu Jiu.The usual high-necked black sweater, the usual paralyzed smile.

"Aren't I afraid that someone else will be around?"

"Did you meet Lao Li yesterday?"

"No, I peeked outside and left without you."

"You are smart."

Wu Jinting clenched his fists tightly, restraining his sweaty palms, showing the utmost calmness as usual.

Qu Jiu didn't look any different, he sat down on the chair and slumped there.

"Tell me, have you learned anything since you've been here for a few days?" Wu Jinting was really curious about this, and every time he came here, he was lax and sloppy, and he didn't discuss any professional knowledge.

"Who said you have to learn something, I think getting to know Brother Wu is the biggest gain."

Scared, it's so fucking amazing.

"What do you do when you're not here?" Wu Jinting quickly changed the subject.

"Sleep." Qu Jiu looked at Wu Jinting who kept inserting food with chopsticks, frowned slightly, and did not speak again.

A slightly weird silence lasted for a long time.Wu Jinting didn't know what to say, he buried his head in the rice, and the person sitting opposite also looked thoughtful.

In the end, Qu Jiu stood up abruptly, causing Wu Jinting to tremble. He asked, "Why do you always start at the beginning and stop continuing?"
