Chapter 321 The Ghost Baby Escapes
Everyone was terrified. The ghost baby's head popped out of the mother's belly, and its entire body was covered in blood.
The ghost baby had just come out of the mother's body and its eyes were not open yet, but it could feel the presence of a breath around it that made it very scared.
The instinct of survival made the ghost baby jump out of the coffin and jump to the ground like a frog.
Chu Runrun immediately drew out the Seven-Star Demon-Subduing Sword and stabbed the ghost baby.
If the ghost baby escapes, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and even more innocent people will die.
Chu Runrun didn't dare to be careless at all, but the ghost baby was not a pushover either.
In the coffin, the ghost baby absorbed the resentment of its mother and the souls of the corpses in the seven coffins. At this time, it was equivalent to eight evil ghosts combined into one.
After feeling the power of the Seven-Star Demon-Subduing Sword, the ghost baby quickly controlled the policeman who had just pulled out the nail for him and pounced on the Seven-Star Demon-Subduing Sword.
Although the Seven-Star Demon-Subduing Sword is aimed at ghosts, it is still a weapon after all. If a person really hits it, he will die.
So Chu Runrun hastily retracted her sword, and the backlash of her anger made her face suddenly turn pale.
The ghost baby took this opportunity to crawl away quickly.
Zhuo Chi and Han Liming immediately chased after him. Chu Runrun gritted her teeth and stood up, but suddenly felt weak.
"Ruanruan, how are you?" Ning Xuan hurriedly supported Chu Ruanruan.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Chu Runrun's mouth. She had used all her strength in that attack just now, and when she suddenly retracted it, the backlash of her Qi had caused her internal injuries.
In order not to let Ning Xuan worry, Chu Ruanruan forced a smile and said, "It's okay!"
Ning Xuan frowned, then picked up Chu Ruanruan and rushed her to the hospital.
Fortunately, Chu Ruanruan only suffered the impact on her internal organs and did not suffer any serious damage. After her energy returned to normal, her injuries were slowly healing.
Not long after, Han Liming and Zhuo Chi also arrived.
"How is Ruanruan?" the two asked hurriedly.
"It's nothing serious, I'm still resting." Ning Xuan said.
Hearing the voices of Han Liming and Zhuo Chi, Chu Ruanruan immediately opened her eyes:
"Uncle, Uncle Zhuo, where is the ghost baby?"
The two shook their heads helplessly: "He ran too fast. We chased him all the way but couldn't catch up."
Chu Ruanruan frowned worriedly: "This ghost baby has too much resentment. If it is not eliminated quickly, I am afraid that more people will die."
"I have already informed Mr. Hong and asked him to help transfer some more people." Zhuo Chi said.
"Have the identities of the deceased been found out?" Chu Runrun asked.
"Xiao He just sent the information over. Do you want to take a look?"
Han Liming was about to send the information to Chu Ruanruan when he saw Ning Xuan's cold eyes drifting towards him.
Han Liming's face froze, and he stopped short of sending a message.
"Um... you should rest first. Leave these matters to us. It won't be too late to see after you recover from your injuries."
"Uncle, I'm fine." Chu Ruanruan said.
Han Liming did not respond, but just looked at Ning Xuan for help.
Ning Xuan walked to the bed and forced Chu Ruanruan onto the bed and covered her with the quilt.
"If you go to bed now and get a good rest tomorrow, you can continue to work on these things. If you don't get a good rest, I will definitely not let you get out of bed."
Ning Xuan said this calmly, and Han Liming and Zhuo Chi couldn't help but cough lightly:
"Well...we'll go back to the police station first. Just call us if you have anything else."
After saying that, Han Liming and Zhuo Chi hurriedly left the ward.
Chu Runrun's cheeks also turned red due to Ning Xuan's words. It was really hard not to think of something wrong after hearing these words!
"Just rest well, I'll stay here with you." Ning Xuan said.
Chu Runrun had no choice but to close her eyes.
I originally thought that I would not be able to sleep because I was worried about the ghost baby, but as soon as I closed my eyes, sleepiness swept over my body and I soon fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that Chu Runruan fell asleep, Ning Xuan also climbed onto the bed and hugged Chu Runruan and fell asleep.
The next morning, Chu Runrun was awakened by the early morning sunshine.
As soon as I opened my eyes, Ning Xuan walked in with breakfast.
"Which one do you want, seafood porridge or millet porridge?"
"The same old rules, half each." Chu Runrun said with a smile.
Ning Xuan turned over the small table on the hospital bed and laid out various breakfasts in a row.
"Brother, is there any news from uncle?" Chu Runrun asked while eating.
Ning Xuan's eyes flashed with helplessness: "Can't you think about yourself? You're still lying in bed and you're worrying about other people's affairs."
"I'm fine now, look at this."
Chu Ruanruan took out the dragon ball that Long Ling gave her from the bag beside her:
"It helped me heal my internal injuries last night. It's much more effective than these IV drips."
"No matter how effective it is, you have to get a good rest!" Ning Xuan patted Chu Runrun's head.
Chu Runrun lowered her head in frustration. How could she lose her freedom just because of an injury?
Ning Xuan was helpless against Chu Runrun's aggrieved look and could only send the identity information of the eight corpses that Han Liming had given him to Chu Runrun.
Chu Ruanruan's gloom was immediately cleared: "Thank you, brother. I will definitely have a good rest after this is done!"
Chu Runrun opened the information and started reading it. Ning Xuan saw that Chu Runrun hadn't even eaten two bites of breakfast, so he could only resign himself to his fate and feed her the food mouthful by mouthful.
Judging from the information, the relationship between the eight corpses was just as they guessed: the ghost baby's grandparents, parents, aunt and cousin.
According to the autopsy, the ghost baby's mother died from excessive blood loss after cutting her own artery.
Although the ghost baby's mother had been dead for about half a month, her body was not soaked in water, so it did not rot, and we still got a lot of clues.
From the analysis of the condition of the bodies, it was found that the first seven dead bodies were killed by the ghost baby mother, and many fractures caused by beatings were detected on the ghost baby mother's bodies, both new and old.
After reading the information, Chu Ruanruan roughly guessed why the ghost baby's mother did this.
"Brother, I want to be discharged from the hospital!" Chu Ruanruan said.
Ning Xuan fed the last steamed bun to Chu Ruanruan's mouth:
"Eat it and I'll take you to the hospital to complete the discharge procedures!"
"Okay!" Chu Runrun quickly put the steamed bun into her mouth.
After completing the discharge procedures, Ning Xuan took Chu Runrun to the police station.
Han Liming and Zhuo Chi searched for the ghost baby all night, went home to take a shower and then returned to the police station.
"Uncle, Uncle Zhuo, do you have any clues?" Chu Runrun asked.
"We found the deceased's home and set up a tight net inside. The ghost baby has just been born and feels insecure, so it should return to the place it is most familiar with." Zhuo Chi said.
"The ghost baby shouldn't appear during the day, but we can use the identities of these dead people to find out who the person who used the Five Ghosts Moving Technique is!" Chu Runrun said.
"We thought so too, but this family lives in the old city, where there are all kinds of people, so it will take time to investigate."
"It doesn't matter. We can always find some clues by following these two lines of investigation." Chu Runrun said.
