C65

Actually, when Brother Huang called me just now, I had a very strong urge to go to the Estuary Village to take a look. But then I thought about it, I can't believe the people in the entire Shanghe County Public Security Bureau, and similarly, I can't believe that Jiang Shan who was heavily injured.

I need to immediately confirm what exactly happened to him. Furthermore, I don't feel assured about Zhou Xiaoxiao either, I need to arrest her immediately.

At this moment, there is a shortage of Task Force personnel. If I were to go to the Estuary Village now, then Shanghe County would be completely lost here, Wei Shijie is currently making a gossiping position in his office, and it is impossible for Elder Liang and Auntie Wang to work as investigators. His only partner is still unconscious, so many things can only be done by me personally.

Based on what Wei Shijie and I described, I think that there might be a problem with the County Head Mu. Looking at Cheng Yuee's confession, he had went to Cheng Yuee's house multiple times to investigate her dead husband's background. Maybe the person who stole the book from him was the County Head Mu himself, or perhaps.

This is something that the Brother Huang is very clear about. I believe that with his concealing abilities, the County Head Mu and the rest will definitely not be able to discover him. At a time like this, the spy called the Brother Huang is extremely important to me.

After driving to the Shanghe County Center Hospital, the first thing I did was go to Liao Mengfann's sickroom. She was still lying unconscious on the sickbed, with needles buried on the back of her left hand. Her face looked a little sallow, and her haggard sleeping posture made me feel some heartache.

The female officer from Shanghe County sat in front of Liao Mengfann's sickbed, taking charge of her and protecting her. Looking at the time, there was less than three hours before the arrival of the Ministry of Public Security Commissioner. But one more minute would be more dangerous. I nodded to the policewoman, indicating that she should leave first.

The policewoman understood what I meant, and she stood up and walked out of the sickroom, closing the door for me. I sat in the spot where the policewoman just sat, reached out my hand, and grabbed Liao Mengfann's right hand.

I whispered in her ear: "I don't know if you can hear me, wake up, this place is dangerous, we can't trust everyone in the Shanghe County Public Security Bureau, I still have a lot of things I need to do, I can't stay by your side, but, if you wake up, just follow the note I left for you!"

As I spoke, I secretly stuffed a slip of paper that I had already written down into Liao Mengfann's palm. I placed her palms together under the blanket and turned around to leave the sickroom.

The policewoman stood quietly outside the ward. I asked her if she knew that Jiang Shan lived in that ward, and she told me that he was in surgery at the moment, and his life might be in danger. As she spoke, I noticed that the policewoman's emotions were a little agitated. She started to wipe away her tears.

I didn't have time to comfort the policewoman as I went to the operating room on the top floor of the hospital.

Just as I walked up the stairs, I saw a lot of colleagues from the Public Security Bureau standing outside the operation room. They had unsightly expressions on their faces.

I swept a glance at the crowd. In a small corner, I saw Zhou Xiaoxiao also standing there, her face filled with anxiety. She was leaning on a walking stick, looking left and right.

I didn't go up to ask her. Instead, I found a quiet corner in the corridor and waited for the doctor's report. After about half an hour, the door to the operation room opened.

The surrounding colleagues surrounded the doctor, asking him about the situation. At this moment, there were a lot of reporters coming into the corridor. It seemed like the news department was also very concerned about the situation here.

I stood silently in the corner, waiting for the doctor to announce the results of the operation. The doctor sighed and said to the crowd, "I'm sorry, but the medical equipment in this county is too lagging far behind. My condolences!"

The instant that the doctor announced Jiang Shan's death, my eyes were tightly staring at Zhou Xiaoxiao's reaction. However, what surprised me was that Zhou Xiaoxiao was not like how I imagined she would be crying. She did not look sad at all.

Zhou Xiaoxiao limped away on her walking stick. Her current state made it impossible for her to leave the hospital, which gave me enough time to pay attention to what was happening on the side of the river and the mountains.

Five minutes later, a surgical vehicle rolled out of the operating room. A white sheet covered the body of Jiang Shan. I walked at the end of the crowd and followed them to the hospital's underground mortuary.

After the door to the mortuary was closed, I hid in a corner and waited for my colleagues in the police station to leave. After about 20 minutes, all of them left.

At this moment, I was the only one left in the surroundings. I quietly stuck my head out from the corner and looked around at my surroundings. There weren't any surveillance equipment here.

I walked out from the corner and quietly arrived in front of the door to the mortuary. I took the white gloves out of my pocket and put them on, then gripped the door handle with both hands and slammed it hard.

Creak …

The door to the morgue was gently pushed open by me. A gust of wind blew across my forehead, and I seemed to hear waves of crying within the wind. However, I didn't feel any fear at all. Ever since I experienced that terrifying and real dream, I realized that my courage had thoroughly increased. To me, this little bit of fear was like a child's play.

The morgue wasn't as big as I'd expected, and half the space was piled with hospital junk. There were three rows of old-fashioned freezers in the morgue, and they made a nasty noise.

At this moment, the surgical vehicle that had parked River Mountain's corpse was completely empty. I walked over to the freezer and pulled out the drawers one by one.

"Heh …" I coldly laughed in my heart. It was as I expected!

When I pulled all the freezers out, I found that there was no one in any of the drawers except the body of an old lady.

I closed the drawer and went to the side of the freezer. I noticed a small iron gate on the other side. It looked rusty and must have been there for some time.

The small door was currently ajar. It seemed that someone had recently opened it. I walked to the small iron door. I didn't rush to push open the door and enter, but instead took out a roll of tape from my pocket. I carefully stuck the tape on the door handle, then carefully tore it off.

Since there is no direct evidence in the case, everything is based on my own deductions. Liao Mengfann is not by my side right now, so I must remind myself to be calm and not be careless at all.

After extracting my fingerprints from the door handle, I gently push open the small metal door in front of me.

After a creaking sound … I didn't rush in. I held my gun in my hand and opened the safety catch. Then, I gently shifted my body and slowly walked into the small metal door.

The iron gate was somewhat cool, but it was filled with a pungent musty smell. I found myself standing on the landing of a staircase. To my left was a flight of stairs that led underground. There were dim yellow lights on both sides of the stairs, and some of the bulbs were flickering and looking creepy, perhaps because of the humidity.

I leaned against the wall and slowly moved down. But no matter how careful I was, when my shoes touched the steps, there was a slight sound that struck my heart from bottom to top. But at the time, I didn't feel any fear. I even missed the scene.

If Liao Mengfann wasn't unconscious, if she was by my side right now, would she have subconsciously grabbed onto my arm? She's a strong woman, and she's a good one, and in every way I think she's a lot better than me. Perhaps I could feel her little woman's side only from the dark, narrow staircase.

This staircase was a little different from what we had seen before. It was a little steep and did not slow down during the journey. After walking slowly for about a minute, I saw that I had reached the bottom of the stairs.

There was a tunnel at the bottom left. I quietly walked down the stairs while sticking my head out to observe the surroundings inside the tunnel.

The passageway was about three meters wide and about sixty to seventy meters in width. On both sides of the passageway were rows upon rows of iron fences. The iron fences were already stained with rust, and it seemed like they had been here for a long time.

After waiting in the corner of the stairs for about three minutes, I realized that Jiang Shan was not there. Walking out of the corner, I looked left and right at the fences. As I expected, they should be a prison, but from the looks of it, they should have been abandoned for many years, probably before the founding of the country!

I held onto my gun and walked forward slowly. I discovered that there were a lot of abandoned medical facilities in some of the cages. There were also a lot of bloodstains on some of the medical facilities.

I walked into one of the cages. Inside the cage, there was an abandoned dissecting table, and on the dissecting bed, there were many rusted utensils, including scalpels, tweezers, and some iron needles. However, from the looks of these tools, they should have been discarded for many years.

After taking out my camera and taking a picture, I walked out of the cage. I walked forward bit by bit and discovered that there was a large metal door not far away from me. In the middle of the metal door was a circular disc that could be twisted. At this moment, the metal door was ajar, so I didn't rush to enter, but instead, looked around the surroundings of the door.

The wall of the bustling iron gate was made of a large amount of concrete, but the wall was very damp right now, and the whitewashed dust on the wall had already fallen off. On the left wall of the iron gate, I saw a one meter square iron plate.

The iron tag had been covered by the damp air for many years, and was now stained with rust. The words on it were also unclear.

I looked carefully. Although I couldn't see all of the words clearly, there were some words that I could recognize. For example, at the bottom of the metal plate, I saw two words "stand in".

"Stand in?!" I was shocked. Isn't that Japanese?
