"What happened after that?"

"They really found it in the surveillance footage!" The old man unconsciously rubbed his arm as he spoke of the matter. "But he wasn't pushed out or carried out. He... he walked out on his own!"

"Around 2 a.m., the surveillance cameras caught the elevator moving, and then the doors opened, and someone walked out."

"The person moved very slowly and stiffly, step by step, towards the hospital gate."

"While passing under the surveillance camera, he actually... actually looked up and smiled at the camera!"

Hearing this, the color drained from Wang Changguo's face. The scene flashed through his mind, and he felt a chill surround him.

"According to the doctor who was there at the time, he saw it very clearly. It was that corpse, no doubt about it!"

Jiang Cheng was mentally prepared for the corpse to come alive; after all, it wasn't the first time he had experienced something like this. But what he couldn't understand was why no one had noticed it at the time.

Even late at night, there should be someone on duty in the hospital lobby.

Were the doctors and security guards on duty all blind?

After asking this question, the old man looked at Jiang Cheng with an unreadable expression, then nodded and said, "You're right."

"The people on duty didn't notice him at the time. And from the surveillance footage, there were two security guards sitting and chatting near the entrance of the hospital."

"And that person, no, that corpse... that corpse walked right between them."

"When the two security guards reviewed the video and saw this, they were dumbfounded. One of them broke down on the spot, saying that he definitely didn't see anyone walk past them!"

"Just like he said, the two security guards didn't react at all when the corpse passed by."

"What happened next?" Jiang Cheng pressed.

"After that, the corpse disappeared from the gate." The old man explained, "Once it went outside, it was out of the range of the surveillance cameras."

Jiang Cheng originally thought this was another headless story that would end there, but he didn't expect that the old man's next words would lead the story into another abyss.

After putting out his cigarette, the old man paused for a moment, then said to Jiang Cheng in a slightly trembling voice, "Not long after, that corpse... was found again."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's eyes flickered.

"It was said to be at his home. One morning, a neighbor saw that his door was open, so he peeked inside, but he didn't expect..."

The old man's tone suddenly became hurried, "He just saw someone squatting by the bed in the bedroom, with his back to him."

The neighbor called out, but the person didn't react at all, so he walked over, but he was almost scared to death when he saw the face.

Apparently, the neighbor also knew that this person was dead. Seeing his dead neighbor squatting in his house unexpectedly, the shock to his nerves can be imagined.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but think that after this incident, this neighbor would probably never be curious about other people's affairs again.

A sound of footsteps came along the corridor. Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw several teammates coming around the corner, led by Lin Wan'er.

"You're here." Seeing Jiang Cheng, Cao Yang felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.

Seeing that so many people had come, the old man went back.

It wasn't clear whether he was worried that so many people would attract the doctors and nurses and discover him smoking secretly, or whether he was also afraid after saying those things just now.

Before leaving, he repeatedly urged Jiang Cheng not to tell anyone else what he had said, just to keep it to himself.

Then he reminded him to leave as soon as possible if there was nothing important to do.

"Why did you guys come out?" After the old man's figure disappeared, Jiang Cheng looked at everyone.

"We were worried about you because you hadn't come back for so long..." Yu Yu's eyes suddenly saw Wang Changguo in the corner, who looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Worried that you were in danger," Yu Yu corrected herself.

Cao Yang didn't give Wang Changguo any face at all, and his words were all directed at Jiang Cheng, completely ignoring him.

After listening to Jiang Cheng's introduction, everyone had a new understanding of the underground morgue.

"This is too scary," Yu Yu said, hugging herself tightly.

Everyone had a premonition that the road to the morgue this time would probably not be smooth.

Turning his head to look out the window, Jiang Cheng saw that the sky was gradually darkening, and night would probably fall soon.

"I think we should go tomorrow," Weiwei said, "If something goes wrong now, we might have to spend the night in the morgue."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Changguo chimed in, "I think Miss Weiwei is right. Let's go back first, and then discuss it at length."

But as soon as Jiang Cheng glanced at Wang Changguo, the latter's excitement immediately died down.

Although he knew that what Weiwei said made sense, Jiang Cheng still wasn't going to wait.

There was no other reason.

Time was running out.

He wasn't even sure if the world would enter eternal night after the last rays of sunlight disappeared below the horizon today.

Moreover... he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Where's Huai Yi... why hasn't he come back yet?" Yu Yu stood on tiptoes, looking out the window. It wasn't a matter of height, but this way she could see further.

If it was any later, the sun would probably set.

And everyone understood how dangerous the night was in this world.

"It's too late," Jiang Cheng said, "I'm afraid we need to figure out how the former director died now."

In other words, they needed to take advantage of the daylight to go to the morgue to examine Zhang Zhaowei's body, and then return before sunset.

"I'll go with you, Brother Jiang," Cao Yang volunteered.

Yu Yu glanced at the cowering Wang Changguo, then said firmly to Jiang Cheng, "Mr. Jiang, I can also go if you need me."

This time, Jiang Cheng didn't refuse their kindness. He really wanted to take Wang Changguo with him, but he didn't trust him.

If something really happened down there, a teammate who couldn't be trusted at all would be a disaster.

"The three of us will go together this time." Jiang Cheng looked at Yu Yu, then shifted his gaze to Cao Yang, "Everyone, let's hurry and come back quickly."

"What about us?" Weiwei asked, seemingly worried.

"We'll stay behind to support you," Lin Wan'er said, "And wait for Huai Yi to come back."

After speaking, Lin Wan'er looked at Jiang Cheng and raised her chin, "Go ahead, we'll wait here, we won't go anywhere."

At first, Jiang Cheng was worried about what to do if Lin Wan'er insisted on going, but fortunately, she didn't.

This was a woman who knew what was important and what wasn't, and she clearly distinguished the advantages and disadvantages of doing things.

She knew that for Jiang Cheng, a qualified second team was far more important than accompanying him down there.
