Chapter 116 Emergence!

Because things happened suddenly, several corpses were transferred to Tongcheng Affiliated Hospital to help with the autopsy investigation in order to shorten the progress of the autopsy and examination.

Tongcheng is a peaceful city, and for this reason, the sudden appearance of such a serious homicide case instantly aroused the attention of all parties. News about the incident had spread in WeChat Moments and Weibo circles, and many citizens even developed feelings of panic and unease as a result.

This, to some extent, gave pressure to the police handling the case.

The police force was fully invested, hoping to find the truth of the incident as soon as possible, and a special task force was also established directly. Of course, these things had nothing to do with Zhou Ze.

At the moment, he only needed to confirm one thing first, that is, whether those dead doctors and nurses were killed by someone, or by… ghosts.

In fact, Zhou Ze didn't feel any unease about the deaths of those people, nor did he attribute any responsibility or guilt to himself. If that female ghost had been more cooperative, she would have become Zhou Ze's tool for killing people with a borrowed knife. Those bastards who used human lives as gambling tools would only make the world a little cleaner if they died.

But what Zhou Ze couldn't tolerate was that if there really was another ghost hiding in the dark, and he hadn't noticed it, and then it started killing people after he left, then it would be his dereliction of duty.

After hunting geese all day long, he didn't expect to be pecked in the eye by a goose. This feeling was not so wonderful.

Casually stealing a white coat and putting it on, Zhou Ze walked into the morgue. Two corpses were being dissected, and three were staying here. Zhou Ze used to be a doctor here, working here for ten years, so he was naturally very familiar with the Affiliated Hospital.

Moreover, Zhou Ze had actually been to this morgue once since his rebirth. Last time, he met the matter of several children fighting for the property of their old mother's corpse and no one came to claim it.

Lao Dao also rushed over from the police station and met Zhou Ze at the Affiliated Hospital. He had established a relationship with some reporters and obtained some superficial information reports, and came to report to Zhou Ze as soon as possible.

However, what disappointed the old man was that Zhou Ze was not interested in these news. He was different from his former boss, and he lacked interest in investigating cases.

The temperature in the morgue was certainly not high, and it was filled with a sense of gloom inside and out.

"Boss, why are the corpses being transported to the hospital for dissection?" Lao Dao couldn't understand this matter very well.

"Forensic talents are in short supply even in developed countries, and it is the same in China. If it's just a case with one or two lives, of course it's not necessary to do this, but this time more than a dozen people have died. The forensic power originally equipped by the Tongcheng police station must not be enough, so we can only use the power of civil units to assist."

Zhou Ze checked the number, and scanned the form behind the door a few times, then pulled out a freezer, inside which lay the corpse of an old woman with gray hair.

Lao Dao looked at the corpse and immediately widened his eyes, saying, "This must have been done by a ghost. The nurse小姐姐 was sucked into a dried corpse."

Zhou Ze reached out and knocked on the iron plate. "This is the corpse of the patient in the basement of the hospital."

"Oh, I see."

Lao Dao scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Then how did she die?" Lao Dao asked again.

"The corpse suffered from cancer before her death. Those patients lying in the basement being used as gambling tools had already had all medical assistance terminated. They could die at any time.

Roughly speaking, this corpse has no obvious external injuries, and I didn't sense any residual baleful aura from her."

"Then is her cause of death very strange and difficult to find?" Lao Dao touched his chin pretendingly, as if at this moment, he was also falling into deep thought, "That's interesting, the cause of death is unpredictable, there must be something strange about it."

"Died of illness."

"Gah?"

"I said, she should have died of illness."

"This..."

If the person in front of him wasn't Zhou Ze, but someone else, Lao Dao would probably have started spraying directly.

Died of illness, and you still analyzed and looked at it for so long, and even made me pretend to be so invested.

Wouldn't I be embarrassed!

Zhou Ze ignored Lao Dao's thoughts, but pulled out the second corpse, which was a male corpse, a young male corpse.

"This corpse looks a bit familiar to me, oh, oh grass, it's the corpse of that security guard." Lao Dao recognized who the corpse was, after all, he had physical contact with this security guard.

Zhou Ze reached out and lifted the corpse's jaw, and there was a dark red wound here.

The wound was very deep, and the incision was very smooth.

"Was his neck cut?"

Lao Dao guessed.

Zhou Ze nodded, the cause of death was excessive blood loss from a sharp weapon cutting the neck.

Zhou Ze then pushed open the freezer where the third corpse was located, which was a female corpse.

"I know this one too, she's a nurse in the hospital. She was wearing Peppa Pig underwear, so this poor Daoist took a few more glances."

Zhou Ze checked the position of the female corpse's jaw and found that there was no wound here, but then, going down her neck, Zhou Ze saw a very deep cut below the female corpse's left chest. The wound mark was not as long as the neck wound of the male corpse next door, but the depth should be more terrifying.

Excluding other possible accidental factors, simply analyzing based on Zhou Ze's own experience in his previous life, the fatal injuries of these two people should be the two wounds that he found.

"This was stabbed with a dagger, right?"

Lao Dao was considered someone who had wandered the world. For a while, he was also a barefoot doctor in the countryside. Although he was just good at fooling people, he was still considered knowledgeable.

"It should be a sharp weapon similar to a dagger." Zhou Ze nodded.

Ghosts don't use knives to kill people, so, for now, it should be man-made.

Since it was man-made, then it had nothing to do with Zhou Ze. Yangjian's affairs should be left to the police to do. He was only responsible for collecting ghosts.

But this matter still made Zhou Ze very uncomfortable. He did want to kill these doctors and nurses before, but in the end he didn't kill them, but in his mind he could actually deduce a picture:

That is, after he and Lao Dao left,

There was a person, holding a dagger or a small knife in his hand, who came to this hospital, and these nurses and doctors were very likely still in a coma.

He approached them one by one, slitting their throats with a dagger, or stabbing them in the abdomen, causing them to die painfully from excessive blood loss in a coma.

The people who the ghost didn't kill were killed by someone else instead.

Whether I kill them or not is my business, but you came to finish them off while I was gone and they were in a coma. Zhou Ze had a feeling of being taken advantage of and schemed against.

"Let's go, it's okay." Zhou Ze said.

Since it wasn't a ghost doing mischief, Zhou Ze also planned to withdraw.

"Then... do I still need to turn myself in?"

"With such a big incident, it's impossible to hide some things. Even if you don't turn yourself in, this black industrial chain will be thoroughly investigated in this incident."

"That's good."

Lao Dao was really worried that Zhou Ze would continue to ask him to turn himself in as a tainted witness.

Walking out of the hospital, it was already late at night, and there were many night snack stalls outside. Lao Dao suggested eating something, after all, he hadn't eaten anything from noon until now.

Zhou Ze nodded in agreement. He also felt that his steps were a little unsteady. Xu Qinglang had returned to his hometown, and his appetite had been obviously poor these days.

However, because he didn't bring plum juice, Lao Dao was eating heartily beside him, but Zhou Ze was eating with great difficulty, taking a bite of food and having to endure nausea and swallow it extremely painfully.

Moreover, the things at the night snack stall were all very oily, which made Zhou Ze's eating even more difficult.

While eating, Lao Dao touched his mouth, got up, went to the front, and came back with two still-warm steamed buns in his hand.

"Boss, you should eat something light. There happened to be a 24-hour pastry shop in front, so I bought you two steamed buns."

Zhou Ze also put down his chopsticks and took the steamed buns. He had to eat something, at least to maintain the energy required for this body to function, and he couldn't let the body be depleted and collapse.

Holding the steamed buns in his hands, Zhou Ze shook his head helplessly, "The steamed buns aren't fresh."

"Um..." Lao Dao said helplessly, "After all, it's already late. If you want to eat fresh ones, you can only wait until the morning when they just open."

Zhou Ze poked the steamed bun with his fingernail, the outside was very soft, and the inside was a little hard.

Just as he was about to tear off a piece and put it in his mouth, Zhou Ze suddenly froze.

He suddenly turned the steamed bun around, looking at the position where his fingernail had just pierced.

Dropping the steamed buns in his hand, Zhou Ze immediately stood up and ran across the road towards the hospital.

"Boss!"

Lao Dao shouted, seeing that Zhou Ze ignored him, he had no choice but to throw two hundred yuan on the table, shouted "Pay the bill" to the night snack stall owner, and then ran over with the boss.

The two returned to the hospital again, and Zhou Ze went straight to the morgue. Coincidentally, a doctor in a white coat walked out of the morgue door, but fortunately, he was facing away from Zhou Ze and walked to the other side, going upstairs from there.

After the doctor left, Zhou Ze and Lao Dao opened the morgue door and walked in again.

Zhou Ze personally pulled open a freezer, and the female corpse was lying inside.

"Boss, what exactly happened?" Lao Dao asked breathlessly.

"It wasn't killed by a dagger." Zhou Ze said in a deep voice.

"If it wasn't a dagger, then it was a small knife, so you came back specifically for this?" Lao Dao sighed.

Zhou Ze didn't speak,

Instead, he silently let his index finger fingernail grow out,

Then,

Zhou Ze gently placed the dark fingernail below the female corpse's left chest,

Along the wound that was left,

He stabbed it in,

A perfect fit!

It wasn't killed by a dagger,

Nor was it killed by a small knife,

In fact, it wasn't even killed by any sharp tool,

It was a fingernail,

It was a fingernail!

Lao Dao's mouth immediately widened, and he was so surprised that he didn't know what to say, he could only shiver and say:

"Zom... zom..."

"I was wondering why I had a familiar feeling when I first looked at this wound." Zhou Ze turned his head, looked at Lao Dao, and said, "Pull out the male corpse's freezer too, and verify it again."

Lao Dao immediately nodded, opened the freezer where the male corpse was located,

Then Lao Dao was stunned,

Said:

"Boss, this is not good, something happened!"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ze pulled out his fingernail, turned around and looked at Lao Dao.

"The corpse... the corpse is gone!"

Lao Dao turned to look at Zhou Ze, indicating that the freezer he pulled out was empty.

Immediately afterwards,

An even more terrifying scene appeared, Lao Dao reached out and pointed at Zhou Ze with some trembling,

Because he saw,

Behind Zhou Ze,

The female corpse who was originally lying on the freezer shelf,

Was slowly sitting up,

The female corpse turned her face,

With a smile,

Looking at him...
