Chapter 9 - Missing a Body

"Bam!"

With a loud crash, I slammed on the brakes, lifted my head from the steering wheel, and wiped my forehead. My hands were covered with blood.

When I turned my head back, I saw that Sang Lan and Ji Yayun had become stupefied from fright, and were cowering in their seats as they looked at me in fear.

"You're bleeding?" Ji Yayun reacted, as she pulled out a piece of paper from the box, she anxiously said: "Lan Lan, quickly call an ambulance."

"Don't touch me!"

I opened her hands that were stuffed with paper and stared at Sang Lan. Do you know I'm driving? People will die! "

"I didn't mean to."

Sang Lan anxiously wiped away her tears and pointed out the window with her other hand: "There's someone in the river! There's someone in the river! "

"Someone's here?"

Don't f * cking push me away even if there's someone you can f * cking do it with.

If I hadn't reacted quickly and stepped on the brakes in time, I would have broken the railing and gone into the river.

I jumped out of the car, and without checking the condition of the car, I held onto the railing to look under the bridge.

The dark river was very quiet. What kind of person was this? Not even a shadow could be seen!

I looked at the front of the car and went back to the car. I held my broken head against the seat and squeezed my eyes shut for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I don't know what happened. I saw a woman in a white dress waving at me in the river. Sang Lan said with a tearful voice.

"A woman in a white dress …"

My heart thumped. These two unlucky women, they met evil people again.

Remembering the words' I would rather mess with a mountain, don't wade in water 'in the broken book, I hurriedly tried to start the car.

Weng … "Weng …"

I took the cell phone from the bridge. It was actually Zhang Xi.

"Hello, you're looking for me?" On the other side of the phone, Zhang Xi's voice was slightly low, as if he was speaking with his head covered by a blanket.

"Ang, I was looking for something from you, but now I don't need it."

"Where are you now?"

"I'm heading back." As I wiped the blood from my head with a piece of paper, I asked, "Why haven't you turned on your computer in the past two days?"

Zhang Xi said in a low voice: "There's something."

"Ang, then it's nothing. I'll hang up first."

"Xu Huo, don't hang up yet."

"What's wrong? What else is there? "

"Can you help me find Li Rui?"

"What am I looking for her for? Isn't she your girlfriend? "

"Help me find her."

"I say … I didn't even have a phone. Hey … "Hey, hey …"

"Du …" Du … Du … Du … "Du …"

"Holy sh * t!"

I threw my phone onto the bridge in frustration. Where the f * ck is this?

I tried to start the fire, but the broken car worked, and I didn't break the chain at the most crucial time.

He turned on the two-way light and slowly went back to the city. The sky was about to brighten.

I sent Sang Lan and Ji Yayun downstairs, stuck my head out and looked towards the front of the car, then turned and said to the two of them: "Increase the money, I need to repair the car, and 2000 more."

Sang Lan looked at me with a conflicted expression for a long time before stuttering, "You should go to the hospital and pack your head into a bag first."

"I'll go back to my bag, hurry up and go back to sleep."

I took out the dried peach from my bag, looked at the two of them, and gave the peach to Ji Yayun.

"If you hang this in the southeast corner of the house with a red string, ordinary wandering ghosts will not bother you. "Remember, peaches must not touch the ground, and even more so must not touch the earth."

"Then... What about the red dress? " Ji Yayun asked.

I grinned and tapped the wound on my forehead. "You have to wait for me to fix my head before I can help you, right?"

The two of them got out of the car. I drove the car into the workshop and took a taxi back to my residence. I got someone to help me bandage my wounds. Then I fell onto the bed and blacked out as I slept …

"Xu Huo, Xu Huo!"

Hearing the shout, I rolled over and opened my sleepy eyes. I saw an old face that was full of fat.

"Old Army Uncle, what's the matter?"

"It's time to go back to work. Get up and lend a hand. How did you get your head cut off? "

"It's fine. Scratch some skin." I looked at my watch and then out the window. It was after nine in the evening, and I had slept all day.

"Old Army Uncle, you go first. I'll be right there." I rubbed my face.

The person who told me to get up lived next door to me, and those who knew him all called him Old Army.

He's not my classmate, and his name doesn't have the word 'Army' in it. He was called Old Army because he was really the Old Army's doctor a long time ago.

Speaking of Old Army, I have to say my current residence.

The medical school I studied in was the same as many other universities, they were all in the new district.

When I first entered the school, I was poor. After paying my tuition fees, I couldn't afford to live in a room, so I did everything I could to find a free place like this.

This was an old hospital in front of the new district. Behind it, there was a small second floor next to the Inpatient Department.

Old Army and I will each take a room upstairs.

They went down the stairs to the basement level. After passing through a corridor, they reached the morgue below the clinic.

In short, before I became a exorcist, my first job was a temporary hospital worker. The main job is to watch the mortuary with Old Army at night. Sometimes, Old Army can't even manage it, so I'll also take care of the corpse workers. Remuneration is free single room and free parking space. Also, have some minor injury, such as hit head, bandage need not money.

I randomly washed up, put on a blue coat and went to the basement level.

"Uncle, what's the situation?" I asked as I helped Old Army pull the carriage outwards.

"They said that one of the buses fell into the river, and two out of the thirty people ran out. The rest drowned."

"Which river?"

"On the national road outside the city. Only the ones close to us will be able to temporarily accommodate so many people. " The Old Army said.

The bus was being hoisted from the river and the bodies were being collected.

The workload could be imagined.

It was easy to get all the corpses to the mortuary. The rest of the carers had left, leaving Old Army and I sitting side by side on the stairs, smoking.

"What are you doing here?" Old Army asked.

"Don't mention it. Didn't I just help others with their business? In the end, I got into trouble."

"Don't do it again after we're done. How can we not run into a ghost after walking so much at night?" Dealing with ghosts was not something an ordinary person could do. Remember what I told you about that? "

I scratched my head with the cigarette in my hand. "Old Army Uncle, have you really treated ghosts?"

Old Army laughed, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a voice from the other side of the corridor: "Old Army! Xu Huo! "Where is he?!"

Old Army and I quickly extinguished our cigarettes and ran over.

"Director Xu."

"Director Xu."

Director Xu: "I'm here to check on the identity of the deceased. How many people were sent in tonight?"

"Twenty-nine." The Old Army said.

"How much?" Director Xu adjusted his glasses and pulled down his mask.

I said, "Twenty-nine."

Director Xu looked at the book in his hands and asked: "Are you sure? It's clearly written on it, "There are 30 of them!"

Old Army and I looked at each other, and Old Army said, "There are only twenty-nine people who came to my place. If the number is not correct, quickly turn the board over and log it off! "

Director Xu looked at us and took out his phone to make a call.

Not long after, a few more white-gowned disciples ran over …

"Has everything been checked?" Director Xu asked.

A white-coat scientist nodded, "I've checked and got a clear answer. There are a total of twenty-nine of them. Yes..." "Yes, one is missing."

Director Xu rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand and asked: "Why is there one missing? Did you verify your identity? "Who's missing?"

The white-coat scientist held up the book and flipped through it, pointing to the book, "The young one is Li Rui, twenty-two years old, a student of this city's Physical Education Academy …"

I felt my head buzz, and then I grabbed the book and flipped through it.

There were photos of the police according to the registration at the station. When I saw one of the photos, I fumbled for my phone.

The person in the photo was actually Zhang Xi's girlfriend — Li Rui!

"Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off …"

After hanging up, seeing that both Director Xu and I were looking at me, I hurriedly said, "This Li Rui is my classmate's girlfriend."

Director Xu and everyone else looked at each other, turned around and walked up: "Call the police!"

The corpses were not on the side. If the academy sent thirty of them in, there should be more.

However, only twenty-nine were sent to the morgue.

"Hey, Sun Tuzi."

"Hey, Huohuo, what's the time? What am I supposed to do in Huohuo?" Sun Lu spoke in a low voice from the other end of the phone.

Other than using your phone, do you have any other numbers with Zhang Xi?

"WeChat, QQ …"

"Tsk …"

"What's wrong? What happened? "

"His girlfriend died in a car accident! And now the body is gone too! "
