Although I didn't know what happened in the bathroom at that time, the loud noise was so loud that I even felt the ground tremble slightly with the noise, as if it had just experienced a small earthquake!
However, what surprised me even more was the large amount of steam that was floating out from the gap of the tightly closed bathroom door, and the large amount of steam that looked very hot that was flowing out of the bathroom!
Because of the huge noise in the bathroom, not only the people in the ward at the time, but even the nurse passing by outside the door rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw the situation in front of them, they immediately exclaimed and hurriedly turned around to go out, apparently to look for the security guard.
I reached out to open the bathroom door, but it was locked by Ning Fan inside. Qian Jun and the others kept knocking on the door, asking Ning Fan what had happened.
Lin Yingxue immediately motioned for us to move aside, and then once again took out a dagger that I was very familiar with from somewhere behind her. Before I could see clearly where she took the dagger out from, she held the dagger with both hands and stabbed it hard into the crack of the bathroom door. Then she pried it hard, and the locked bathroom door was pried open by Lin Yingxue!
Lin Yingxue's swift and decisive action surprised everyone present. They probably didn't understand why such a sweet-looking girl could use such violent means.
The moment the bathroom door was opened, a large amount of steam rushed out. The whole bathroom seemed to be on fire and we couldn't see what was going on inside at all. The steam also prevented us from entering for the time being, so we had to wait quietly for the steam to decrease a little before going in.
When the steam had almost dissipated, Lin Yingxue, Wang Hai and I rushed in first. As soon as I entered the room, I saw that where the toilet was originally located, there was now a huge thing similar to a water tank. Under the water tank, was Ning Fan, with his eyes wide open, soaking in the water, motionless!
This water tank should have been embedded above the bathroom before. At this time, the water tank fell down, and several pipes above the bathroom continued to spray hot water. The water was probably boiling water, otherwise there would not be so much steam. Ning Fan, who was soaked in the water, had a dark red face, just like his hands were frozen red in winter, but his skin was not frozen red, but scalded!
"Hurry up and find someone to help! Ask the guard to turn off the hot water valve as soon as possible!"
The doctor who rushed over after hearing the news saw the situation and immediately asked the nurse behind him to turn off the hot water valve. He also hurriedly took out his phone and prepared to call a few security guards to help carry Ning Fan out.
While they were in chaos, I was always paying attention to everything in front of me. There was no water tank in the bathroom of my ward, and I had just asked the nurse. Since it is winter now, the hot water supply of the entire hospital is completed by the boiler room inside the hospital, so the hospital has also modified the pipes and built water tanks and pipes specifically for storing boiled water flowing from the boiler room. It happened that the bathroom in this ward is the only way for the pipeline, so the hospital installed a water tank here to keep warm and store hot water.
According to the nurse, the inpatient department of this hospital is quite old, and many of the facilities are very old. The water tanks and hot water pipes are products from 20 years ago. People have previously reported that the water tanks are not installed firmly, and the water tanks are designed to be relatively low. If people who go to the toilet are not careful and get up quickly, they will hit their heads. However, the hospital already has a reconstruction plan, but the plan has not been officially implemented yet. So every time this kind of problem occurs, they just find someone to reinforce it to deal with it. Who knew that today such a big thing would actually happen because of this matter.
Because of this incident, all the doctors present believed that it was just an accident. In addition to feeling sorry for the deceased Ning Fan, they felt more sympathy for the hospital director. Two accidental deaths occurred consecutively within one day. It was estimated that the families of the deceased would force the hospital director to death.
Of course I would not believe that this was just an ordinary accidental casualty incident, because with the previous cases and the explosion, Ning Fan's death was clearly a homicide in my eyes. Even if it happened in public, even if it looked like an accident, I would not waver in my thoughts.
The only three remaining passengers also did not believe that this was an accident. When they saw Ning Fan's body, they all looked ashen, as if they saw their future selves in him. The soft girl even burst into tears on the spot, talking about death while crying.
Lin Yingxue stood quietly beside me, and Wang Hai helped move the water tank that had stopped flowing. Together with several security guards and doctors who came over, they lifted the water tank out of the bathroom, and finally saw the appearance of Ning Fan's body clearly in front of them.
Ning Fan's body was in a strange posture, as if his spine had been broken by the weight of the water tank. His chest and knees were pressed tightly together, like a difficult move that only gymnasts could do.
Of course, what is even more weird is that Ning Fan's head is tilted towards his back, with the back of his head pressed tightly against his back. If you take a quick look at this posture, you will probably have nightmares at night.
In addition to the fact that his body had been completely deformed, what was even more eye-catching was Ning Fan's corpse, which was still steaming. His skin had become completely red and swollen, and even had blisters in some places. There were also some wounds on his head and back, but after being washed by so much water, there was no trace of blood at all.
The toilets here are all squat type, so it is normal for Ning Fan's body to be in this position. Not long after, the local police called Wang Hai over again. The forensic doctor walked into the bathroom while muttering and began to examine the body.
"Damn it! I haven't even returned yet and something bad has happened again. Why is this hospital haunted?"
The forensic doctor bypassed Lin Yingxue and me and ignored us. He squatted beside the body and began to examine it. While the forensic doctor was looking through Ning Fan's body, I also carefully examined Ning Fan's body to see if there were any clues left.
The first victim, Zheng Wei, died after accidentally falling out of the window in an empty ward, while the second victim, Ning Hao, was hit to death by a falling water tank in a completely closed bathroom. Both cases seemed to be just accidents and coincidences, just like a scene from Final Destination.
Wang Hai has already told the forensic doctor what happened, and according to my instructions, he asked the forensic doctor to focus on investigating whether there is any drug ingredient in Wang Hai's body that can cause stomach upset. After all, Ning Fan came to the bathroom because he suddenly complained of stomachache. If all this was arranged by the murderer, then he must have made Ning Fan go to the toilet because of the stomachache.
But I still think there is something wrong with this. Even if the murderer gave Ning Fan a laxative, he couldn't control the specific time when Ning Fan went to the toilet. What if Ning Fan didn't go to the toilet yet, but someone else went to the toilet first? In this case, it wouldn't be Ning Fan who died. Could it be that the murderer's target of killing this time was random, not Ning Fan specifically? Or was there something I didn't notice that made Ning Fan go to the toilet first, turning a random event into an inevitable event
The more I thought about this question, the more headache I felt. I felt that I had encountered the most difficult case since I entered this industry! There were no clues, nor any superficial human phenomena. Everything seemed to be just a coincidence. This level of reality was comparable to a perfect crime in my mind.
Although Qian Jun looked calm at this moment, his dull eyes showed that he was very panicked inside. Even he thought that all of us had been targeted by the god of death. The soft girl was gone, but I could hear her crying. The only one who was really calm was the strong-looking Dali brother.
This ward originally belonged to Dali Ge. First, his roommate fell from the building accidentally, and now a murder occurred in his bathroom. Dali Ge has become a major suspect.
"Your name is Dali, right? I want to ask, what's the matter with all those banana peels beside Zheng Wei's bed?"
Dali took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm. "When we came today, Zheng Wei was the one with the least injuries. After we checked him, he bought a lot of bananas and ate them by himself while sitting on the bed. He is usually stingy and naturally would not share with us. He ate all the bananas in just a few hours. He is also rather sloppy and likes to throw away garbage randomly. Those banana peels were all thrown away by him."
"Did you notice anyone making any noise in the bathroom of your ward today?"
Dali shook his head and said, "No, but we spent most of the time outside doing examinations today. We had very little time back in the ward, and Zheng Wei was the first one back in the ward. I think only Zheng Wei can answer your question."
After hearing what Dali said, I immediately understood that there had been no one in this ward for a while. If the murderer wanted to do something, that period of time would be more than enough!
Thinking of this, I went back to the bathroom again, staring carefully at the messy environment in the bathroom caused by the flood, wanting to see if there was any way that could make Ning Fan be crushed to death by the water tank as soon as he entered the bathroom.
As I was looking, I suddenly discovered that next to Ning Fan's body in the bathroom, there was an iron rod about one meter long. The iron rod was hollow and about half the thickness of a wrist. Before I picked up the iron rod and took a closer look, I found that there seemed to be a not-so-obvious mark on the surface of the squat toilet, as if it was scratched by something. However, after seeing this, I finally understood why the murderer felt that as soon as Ning Fan entered the bathroom, he would be crushed to death by the water tank!
