Chapter 48: Uncovering the Secret of the Old Hospital 4
On this quiet night, moonlight shone on the old hospital's path, casting a veil of mystery over the long-abandoned facility. Once, it was filled with laughter and joy, but now, only silence reigned. The hospital's doors and windows had long since decayed, leaving it looking old and desolate.
Li Fan and Lin Tao stood at the hospital entrance, both feeling an inexplicable tension. This hospital had once been the site of a bizarre murder, and the purpose of their visit was to uncover this secret.
"Do you think there really is a ghost in this hospital?" Lin Tao asked nervously.
Li Fan smiled and patted Lin Tao on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I believe in science. Even if there really is a ghost, we will definitely find the truth."
They walked cautiously into the hospital, a chilling atmosphere hitting them. The dim lights in the hospital corridor flickered, as if ready to go out at any moment. Their footsteps echoed in the hallway, terrifying them.
They arrived at a ward, and Li Fan recalled the details of the murder. Legend has it that a young nurse was on duty there at night when she suddenly heard an eerie singing voice and saw a pale face. Terrified, she resigned the next day. That same night, a patient disappeared and has never been found.
Li Fan took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the ward. The atmosphere in the room became even more gloomy. They turned on the flashlight and found that everything in the room had been eroded by time and looked dilapidated.
They were searching for clues in the room when suddenly Lin Tao screamed. Li Fan turned around immediately and saw Lin Tao standing in front of a wardrobe with a look of fear on his face.
"Li Fan, look at this wardrobe." Lin Tao's voice trembled.
Li Fan walked over and found the wardrobe door slightly ajar. He reached out and carefully pushed it open. Instantly, a rotten smell hit him. They looked inside with the light of a flashlight and suddenly saw a pale face.
Their hearts instantly jumped into their throats, but Li Fan still mustered up the courage to carefully observe the face. Gradually, they discovered that the face was not human, but a wax figure.
Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief, they had found a key clue. They continued to search in the hospital, and finally, in an abandoned basement, they found a secret room.
The door to the secret room was locked. Li Fan and Lin Tao struggled to open it. They entered the room and discovered a shocking truth. It turned out that this hospital had once been a secret laboratory, and the wax figure was the founder of the laboratory. He had attempted to maintain eternal youth through the wax figure, but ultimately failed.
They also found a detailed laboratory record that recorded all the laboratory's activities, including the murder. It turned out that the missing patient was a staff member of the laboratory. He died accidentally during the experiment. In order to cover up the crime, the laboratory staff buried him in the basement of the hospital.
Li Fan and Lin Tao reported everything to the police, and eventually, the truth came to light. The secret was finally revealed, and Li Fan and Lin Tao became heroes for uncovering the secret.
