Whispers echoed in the morgue.
The sudden assailant saw nothing amiss.
"Good, delicious... no, not expensive..."
Instead, the assailant began to swallow after another murmur, and then his stomach began to growl.
The other party looked at Macross who was bound to the chair.
hunger!
Like a beast!
When meeting such gazes, Macross trembled all over.
Inexplicably, she felt that the attacker at this moment was even more terrifying than before.
The previous assailant appeared to want to dissect her.
And now
The other party wanted to eat her.
Given the choice between being dissected and being eaten, Macross undoubtedly wanted a third option.
She hasn't paid off the loan yet.
She hasn't enjoyed life yet.
She doesn't want to die yet!
"Who can help me?"
"Who can help me?"
"As long as someone saves me, I am willing..."
The female forensic doctor prayed and thought about what conditions to pay.
Then, at this time, the female forensic doctor suddenly discovered that she seemed to have nothing to give.
money
No, on the contrary, he is heavily in debt and completely poor.
appearance
It's not ugly, but it's average, especially the makeup, which is unacceptable to ordinary people.
Suddenly, at this critical moment, a burst of sadness rose in the female forensic doctor's heart.
The scary thing about life is not being in danger.
It was only after falling into danger that he realized that he had nothing, not even the qualifications to escape from the danger.
The helpless female forensic doctor lowered her head.
She had to take out the last chip.
What else could she come up with besides these two
life!
This seems to be the only answer.
However, she wanted to survive, and if she used her life as a bargaining chip...
Who cares, live a little longer is a little while!
The female forensic doctor completely gave up on herself.
"Good, delicious... no, not expensive..."
And just when the female forensic doctor was about to pray again, the murmur sounded again, the raider in front of her was already close at hand, she opened her mouth, and a stench hit her face, making the female forensic doctor unable to open her eyes.
The female forensic doctor couldn't imagine how a person's mouth could be so smelly.
However, the muttering in the other party's mouth made the female forensic doctor's mind flash.
"As long as someone saves me, I'm willing to give him the breakfast upstairs!"
After saying this prayer, the female forensic doctor herself felt a little embarrassed.
It's so cheap.
Wouldn't her life be worth a quick meal
No, no no!
There should be more!
Just when the female forensic doctor was thinking about whether to turn breakfast into three meals, a voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"Success, deal!"
The voice was a little muffled.
But when the sound fell, a gust of wind blew in the secret room of the morgue.
Ill and violent!
It's like a typhoon passing by!
The assailant who had opened his mouth in front of the female forensic doctor and was about to bite, flew straight back in the strong wind. Under the attention of the female forensic doctor, a translucent phantom was pulled out from the opponent's body and was swallowed by the strong wind Finally, the whole body fell heavily on the wall.
boom!
Amid the dull impact, the female forensic doctor came back to her senses.
"what happened?"
"My prayers worked?"
"Is it really possible to get it done with an early meal?"
"My life is so worthless?"
The female forensic doctor stood there in astonishment. Even though she had a very special physique and experienced all kinds of things that ordinary people would think were unbelievable, what happened just now made her doubt her life.
Did she choose the wrong career
Should she learn cooking
"Life is priceless."
"Similarly, the promised food is priceless."
With a faint voice, Qin Ran came out from the shadows, lowered his head to look at the assailant, it was the vicious spirit that was swallowed up just now, not the soul of the main body.
However, the other party's situation is not optimistic.
The breath of the body is extremely weak.
The soul should also be hurt by the spirit possessed.
but…
The more this happened, the more it proved that he didn't look in the wrong direction.
Because, the person in front of him who will die at any time is the guy who sent the body to the police station before.
Looking at the person curled up on the ground with his breath getting weaker and weaker, it is hard for anyone to imagine that the other party is a murderer.
The other party looked really miserable.
"I, I don't want to die."
"I want to live, live..."
Before the last words were finished, the other party's voice stopped abruptly.
Qin Ran looked at the other party's corpse indifferently.
From the police station to here, a general thread has emerged in his mind.
The secret room of the morgue.
The man who was dismembered.
live forever.
Also, the [Defective Modin Statue] hidden in the chair that looks like an operating table.
"Survival?"
Qin Ran thought inwardly.
He has no further comments.
Because, he has experienced similar things.
He can completely understand how he feels at that time.
In order not to die, even knowing it was a scam, he jumped into it without hesitation.
Knowing that it might be worse, I will try it.
Why do you say
To survive.
Even without dignity, I want to live.
Isn't this human instinct
Just like the raiders who have died here.
He is pitiful and hateful.
Just to survive.
Even if it is to kill, he will not hesitate.
Unfortunately…
After all, he was just being used by others.
Just for a nice 'finishing'.
"Call the police."
Qin Ran turned around and said to the female forensic doctor who was still in a daze.
"Can… "
The female forensic doctor subconsciously wanted to say something, but after Qin Ran pointed at the dead attacker, she remained silent.
Female forensic doctors are not stupid.
In other words, people who can become forensic doctors are all thoughtful and extremely calm people.
People who weren't like this couldn't face the bloody corpse calmly.
Connecting with what happened yesterday and looking at the current scene, the female forensic doctor had her own guess in her mind.
"good."
The female forensic doctor was about to go upstairs to make a phone call, but at this moment, Qin Ran spoke again.
"Remember the reward you just said."
"Um."
"I'll save it for you sooner."
The female forensic doctor nodded.
Although some people don't want to admit that they are cheap, but on the other hand, thinking about saving their own life earlier, it is really a good deal.
Unknowingly, the female forensic doctor had the idea of earning money in her heart.
Then, before she left the morgue, she took another look at Qin Ran who was standing in the blood.
In the dark red, the black becomes unobtrusive, as if it is about to blend into it, but it becomes distinct from each other under the light, as if two worlds were cut off.
"What a weirdo!"
With curiosity in her eyes and such an evaluation in her heart, the female forensic doctor walked upstairs quickly.
Just five minutes later, the blaring of sirens shattered the afternoon calm.
The female detective led a few police officers and rushed downstairs quickly.
When seeing Qin Ran, the female detective frowned.
She found that since she knew the man in front of her, every time something happened, the other party would be there.
Not a party, but a participant.
And, every time there is a loss of life.
Is this guy a grim reaper
The female detective secretly thought in her heart, but immediately, the female detective looked at the corpse and the secret room of the morgue.
After taking a closer look, the female detective walked up to Qin Ran.
"what happened?"
the female detective asked.
"I wanted to come and see Mary, and then, when I entered here, I found that the forensic doctor Macross was held hostage by this person."
"Then, I rescued Doctor Macross."
Qin Ran spoke the speech he had prepared long ago.
"I don't know what's going on either."
"I came to the forensic laboratory as usual this morning, ready to start the day's work."
"While I was tidying up the morgue, he suddenly broke in, took me hostage, and opened this secret room. Before that, I didn't even know there was such a secret room behind the mortuary."
The female forensic doctor said in cooperation with Qin Ran.
With the video surveillance that was just retrieved, the female detective did not suspect Qin Ran and the female forensic doctor. It clearly showed that Macross came first, followed by the attacker, and finally Qin Ran.
The timing fits.
The occurrence of the incident is also reasonable.
The only thing that made the female detective suspicious was the identity of the attacker.
How did the other party know about the secret room in the morgue
Or…
Why did the other party come here
"Investigate his identity."
"Check from various hospitals."
The female detective ordered.
"yes."
The police officers sprang into action immediately.
And this purpose is clear, and with the verification of photos, a conclusion is quickly drawn.
The attacker was a patient with severely impaired liver and kidney function.
He gave up treatment half a month ago and left the hospital.
According to the address left by the other party, the police officers followed the clues to find the other party's address.
then…
They saw the dismemberment scene.
"What?"
"You say this guy is the murderer of the dismemberment case?!"
When the female detective received the call from her subordinate, she was in disbelief.
How could a person who was so ill be the murderer of the dismemberment case
The female detective had strong doubts in her heart, but even if she didn't believe it, she still chose to believe the evidence when faced with the facts.
After listening to the reports of her subordinates and confirming that no one else was involved, the female detective looked at the secret room of the morgue in front of her with a trace of suspicion on her face.
Then, she made a phone call.
When it was confirmed from the phone that the original owner of the forensic laboratory was the other party, the female detective who was still skeptical in her heart had to believe that the attacker in front of her was the murderer.
The opponent built this secret room at the very beginning, killing corpses and even living people.
But because of his physical condition, the opponent had to give up here.
But the evil in his heart made the other party commit the crime again.
The other party chose Mary, the poor woman who lived alone.
Then, very easily, the opponent succeeded.
However, the opponent's physical condition is getting worse and worse.
The other party should also know this, so the other party became more and more crazy and began to provoke the police, and chose to return to the original point to end his life in madness.
But unfortunately it was interrupted.
"Glad he was interrupted."
"I don't want to change to another forensic cooperation."
In her office, the female detective couldn't help sighing after roughly finishing her guess to the female forensic doctor.
"Yeah, I don't want to die so early either."
An ugly smile appeared on the female forensic doctor's face.
The female detective didn't care about this, but thought that the female forensic doctor was overly frightened.
"All the transcripts have been completed. Let's rest early today, Rose."
"I'll let you know if something happens."
said the female detective.
"OK."
"I'm going back."
The female forensic doctor nodded and walked out.
At the door, I happened to meet Qin Ran who had finished recording the transcript again.
The two walked out together.
Looking at the backs of the two, the female detective shook her head. Obviously, the unexpected incident just experienced made the relationship between the two of them a lot closer.
Moreover, the female forensic doctor herself is very approachable except for her makeup.
It's no surprise that the two developed a friendship.
She also wouldn't worry about the female forensic doctor telling Qin Ran something she shouldn't have said.
Because, she knows very well that the female forensic doctor cherishes her current job very much.
"Prepare to close the case!"
The female detective took a deep breath, returned to her desk, and began to sort out the case materials, which she needed to file before leaving get off work.
As for the police press conference
Naturally, there is a special person in charge, and she only needs to hand in the complete case information.
But just when the female detective had finished sorting out most of the documents, the phone on the desk rang, and the female detective who answered the phone suddenly changed her expression.
…
Inside the taxi.
Qin Ran and Macross sat side by side.
Except for the initial report of an address to the taxi driver by Macross, the two did not communicate with each other during the whole process.
The female forensic doctor was so preoccupied that she didn't have the heart to speak at all.
Qin Ran himself is a person who can't talk for nothing.
Silence became the main theme of the two.
The taxi driver also felt uncomfortable and depressed in such silence, and almost unconsciously accelerated the speed of the car, wanting to complete the business quickly and leave the two strange people, especially the woman, with a look of disgust. With pale makeup, he doesn't look like a good person at first glance, it's a pity for a man, a normal young man, just like this is led badly by this woman.
The taxi driver who was full of regret stepped on the accelerator heavily. After an hour's drive, Qin Ran and Macross arrived at their destination in 45 minutes. After they got off the car, the taxi driver didn't stay long. go straight away.
A nursing home.
'Water and Sun Sanatorium'.
It says so on the sign.
Through the door, Qin Ran could see the nurses leading the old people on the lawn, a small lake in the distance, and a five-story white building on the other side of the lawn. The walls have arched roofs, and inside the bright windows, people pass by from time to time.
A nice nursing home.
Qin Ran evaluated from the bottom of his heart.
The female forensic doctor walked inward without stopping.
Obviously, the other party is a frequent visitor here, and the security guard at the door did not stop him at all, but instead smiled at the female forensic doctor.
Following behind the female forensic doctor, Kieran went straight to the main building.
But just when the two of them approached the main building and hadn't entered the main building, a burst of exclamation sounded from near the lake
"ah!"
"Dead!"
