Chapter 556 A Straight Shot



While Zhou Luancheng and Mu Xiaowan were having dinner, people in the next room had already started drinking. After drinking a little, they became drunk and spoke without restraint.

It also said that the two bodies are now in the hospital morgue.

Mu Xiaowan couldn't help but muttered softly: "Scum."

Zhou Luancheng didn't have any expression on his face, just a serious look, as if he was thinking.

After dinner, Zhou Luancheng took Mu Xiaowan to the only hotel in town and booked two rooms.

Zhou Luancheng handed a key to Mu Xiaowan: "The water room and toilet are at the left end of the second floor. If you want to take a shower, get some hot water and go back to your room. Lock the door when you go to bed, and don't open it no matter who knocks."

Mu Xiaowan was curious: "Aren't you next door to my room? You would definitely be able to hear someone knocking on the door."

Zhou Luancheng did not hide it from her: "I will be out for a while, I don't know what time I will be back."

Mu Xiaowan's mind worked quickly: "You are going to the hospital morgue, right? I want to go too."

Zhou Luancheng thought about it and said, "Then put your things down and come downstairs to find me. I'll wait for you downstairs."

Mu Xiaowan was somewhat happy. Wouldn’t she learn more from this than going to Nanshan to observe and study?

Thinking of the excitement of seeing the corpse, she even forgot her love for Zhou Luancheng for a moment, and told him that girls should be more reserved. She also forgot Sheng Anning's advice that she should learn to act like a spoiled child in front of men and show her weak side from time to time, so that men would want to protect her.

She went into the house, put her things away, stuffed the money and food coupons into her underwear pocket, and pinned it up with a pin before locking the door and going downstairs to look for Zhou Luancheng.

Zhou Luancheng was also very familiar with the way to the hospital. It was called a hospital, but it was actually a health center in the town. It was not very large. There were two rows of bungalows in front, which were the outpatient and inpatient departments. There were two houses in the back corner. They were quite old, and the glass on the windows had been broken, with some wooden strips nailed crosswise.

The wild grass around was as tall as a person and was now withered. It looked even more desolate in the night, and also had a sense of eerie and chilliness.

Seeing that Mu Xiaowan was not afraid at all and was looking around curiously, Zhou Luancheng was shocked by this girl's courage again: "Are you not afraid at all?"

Mu Xiaowan didn't think much of it. "What's so scary about this? When I was on duty at night, I could hear wolves howling. Sometimes I could even see green light coming out of their eyes. I was so scared that my legs were shaking."

Zhou Luancheng suddenly reached out and held her hand: "Let's go, the road ahead is not good."

Every time he heard Mu Xiaowan calmly talk about the past, he felt more sympathy and love for this girl.

Her hand was suddenly wrapped by a warm palm. Mu Xiaowan was stunned for a moment and felt an electric shock spreading from her fingers to her heart, making her heart beat faster involuntarily.

The hand held by Zhou Luancheng was burning with scorching heat, and the heat spread all the way to his face.

Her face turned red unconsciously, but her eyes were shining with surprise.

Zhou Luancheng held her hand!

There were no lights in the backyard of the clinic. With the faint moonlight, I could barely see what was going on in the yard.

Zhou Luancheng's ears were also red at this moment, but the night provided a good cover, and his voice was normal as he spoke to Mu Xiaowan, "I'll go in later. You watch at the door. I'll go check out the body."

I didn't look at the body up close during the day because I was afraid of disturbing the scene.

Mu Xiaowan naturally disagreed: "I want to see it too. I'll stand guard first. Let me see after you're done."

Zhou Luancheng smiled helplessly: "Okay, I've never seen a girl as bold as you."

Holding her hand, I walked carefully to the door of the morgue. There was not even a decent lock on the door, just an iron rod inserted across the door.

The main reason is that it is rare to see corpses here, and even if there are, no one will come here to steal things because it is not unlucky enough.

Zhou Luancheng let go of Mu Xiaowan's hand, gently took off the iron rod, and pushed open the door. A foul odor hit his nose, accompanied by a gust of cold wind.

The stench was even stronger than in the woods during the day.'

Mu Xiaowan had already prepared herself mentally, but now she couldn't help feeling a little nauseous. When she covered her mouth and nose to relieve herself, Zhou Luancheng handed her a cotton mask: "This is new and has never been used. Put it on."

Mu Xiaowan took it and put it on, and saw that Zhou Luancheng not only wore a mask, but also gloves, and had a miniature flashlight in his hand.

Just as he was surprised, Zhou Luancheng pulled him into the morgue and closed the door.

The two bodies were lying flat on the two morgues in the middle, without even a piece of rag covering them.

Zhou Luancheng covered the flashlight with a handkerchief to make the light less dazzling, motioned to Mu Xiaowan to stand guard at the door, and he walked over gently.

Not long after, he came over again, took off his gloves and handed them to Mu Xiaowan, asking her to put them on and take a look.

Mu Xiaowan was a little excited. After studying in textbooks for a year and seeing various scattered bone teaching aids, this time she finally saw one in a real and complete corpse.

Although this corpse was the person she hated the most, it could not suppress her love for this profession.

Mu Xiaowan was not as skilled as Zhou Luancheng. She looked much slower and more carefully, not missing any details, including the nails.

After bending over for a long time and his back became stiff, he stood up and went to find Zhou Luancheng: "I've finished reading."

The two men restored the scene and went out as if they were familiar with the route.

When they left the street of the health center, Zhou Luancheng asked, "Did you find anything?"

Mu Xiaowan was still very confident: "They are all men, around 40 years old. I suspect it was Shi Dalei. His skull collapsed and he was obviously hit hard before death. The other one had three broken ribs and his larynx was shattered."

Zhou Luancheng was quite surprised. After all, Mu Xiaowan had only been in college for a year, and many things were in the textbooks, but she was able to observe so much. He praised her generously: "Very good, you observed very carefully. What else did you find?"

Under Zhou Luancheng's persuasion, Mu Xiaowan seemed to have opened up her Ren and Du meridians, and her reactions became much faster: "There are no obvious knife wounds on the two people, but there are knife marks on the tree, which means that they had a desperate fight with the murderer before they died."

"They didn't kill him with one strike, so the other party must have been injured during the fight!"

Zhou Luancheng laughed: "Your reasoning is clear, but these are just speculations. We have to find the knife."

Mu Xiaowan felt that it was too difficult to find a knife: "Wouldn't that take a long time?"

Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "No, we will know when we go to the village tomorrow. Let's go back and rest early tonight."

Mu Xiaowan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhou Luancheng: "You really don't like me?"
