Chapter 12 Horror Scenes
2:16 pm.
Hospital ward.
Qin Lu had not yet recovered from the shock. She could not forget that scene. The scene she saw when she opened the door was like being trapped in hell. It would be difficult for her to wake up from such a nightmare in her entire life. She leaned on the hospital bed with her shoulders hugged, shivering with lifeless eyes. Gu Nankai and others came in and saw this scene, their hearts tightened. They knew very well that it would be difficult to ask Qin Lu anything in her current condition.
Li Meng hesitantly stepped forward and expressed their purpose: "Hello, we are from the serious crime team and would like to know something about your husband Sheng Yuandong."
Qin Lu grabbed the quilt and covered herself with it as if she was frightened. A trembling and crying voice came out from under the quilt: "I don't know, I don't know anything. Don't look for me, don't ask me, I don't know anything..."
"Alright, she's in urgent need of psychological counseling right now. You guys go out first and let me talk to her. Especially you guys, staying here will only make her more scared. Leave it to me."
Wu Qingluan arrived a step late. As soon as she came in, she saw several men surrounding the bed. Especially the big guy like Li Meng who made people feel "distant". It would be strange if Qin Lu was not afraid. She pushed the men out in a few seconds and closed the door of the ward ajar, leaving a gap to ensure that Gu Nankai could observe the situation inside.
"Qin Lu, don't be afraid, I will protect you. Don't be afraid, everything will pass. Many of us will protect you..."
Wu Qingluan sat sideways beside the bed, her voice soft and slow. She slowly reached out her hand and gently stroked Qin Lu's back, saying gentle words of comfort all the time.
Perhaps it was because they were both women, or perhaps it was because Wu Qingluan's voice was filled with concern, expressing that she and Qin Lu were in the same camp. Qin Lu's emotions gradually relaxed in Wu Qingluan's gentle voice, and the quilt covering her entire body slowly slipped off. The person below rushed over to hug Wu Qingluan with tears streaming down her face, trembling: "It's too scary, I'm scared, I'm scared..."
Wu Qingluan stroked her back and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, we will all be with you to protect you, and your son will also protect you, you know, everyone will be with you, so you don't have to be afraid."
"Son..." Qin Lu's eyes changed when she heard this, and soon revealed a gentle and happy look, but soon she was startled, and suddenly sat up and grabbed Wu Qingluan's arm, full of anxiety: "Child, my child, can't let him see that kind of thing, he will be scared, no..." She hurriedly pushed Wu Qingluan away and was about to get out of bed. She couldn't let her most precious child endure such a fright and horror scene. She had to find her child quickly!
"Qin Lu, don't worry, listen to me, the child is fine!" Wu Qingluan quickly grabbed her and looked into her eyes: "When you were in the hospital, I had already picked up the child from school, just in case you would worry. The child is in the lounge. If you want to see him, you can do so anytime, but..." She paused and looked at Qin Lu: "You are his mother. If you are like this now, he will definitely be scared and worried, so you have to be strong, understand?"
"Yes...Leilei will be scared..." Children are always the softest spot in one's heart. When Qin Lu heard that she would scare the child, she calmed down. She took a deep breath to regulate her emotions, as if she could erase those horrible images from her mind by doing so.
"Forget those things. Don't think about them deliberately. You will slowly forget them. I will always help you until the day you forget them." Wu Qingluan guided and encouraged her softly. With her help, Qin Lu gradually got better. Wu Qingluan knew that now was not the best time to ask questions, so she waved her hand for Gu Nankai to come in.
"The child is at the nurse's station. I've asked the nurse to take care of him. Go and bring him over."
Gu Nankai looked at the situation at the scene and found it to be more difficult than he had imagined, but Wu Qingluan did have the situation under control at the moment. He nodded and agreed to her request.
Inside the nurses' station, the child was very well-behaved. Several nurses surrounded him, unmoved, and looked around with their eyes alert. Gu Nankai took one look and chuckled in his heart. The child was still a little nervous, but such a young child had a calmness that was not typical of his peers. This was somewhat beyond his expectations.
"Little guy, I'll take you to your mother."
Sheng Lei was obviously a little wary of the uncle who suddenly appeared in front of him. When Gu Nankai said his intention, the little guy leaned back and said something that surprised Gu Nankai again: "How do you know where my mother is?"
Gu Nankai pursed his lips. Although he still wanted to tease the little guy, the current situation made him choose a more direct approach. He took out his police officer ID and put it in front of the little guy: "Uncle is a policeman. Your mother is sick. Now uncle wants to take you to see her. Don't you want to go?"
Qin Lu had instilled the glorious image of the police uncle into Sheng Lei more than once. In the little guy's mind, the policeman was the most trustworthy person besides his mother. At the moment, he didn't think there was anything strange about this uncle. He jumped off the stool with a serious face and followed Gu Nankai.
As Wu Qingluan said, Sheng Lei's appearance helped Qin Lu adjust her mood to the greatest extent. After waiting for a while, Qin Lu opened the door of the ward herself: "You can ask whatever you want, but I need to contact my brother first. The child needs to be taken care of. I'm afraid I can't take care of him these days."
These words were said to Wu Qingluan. Of course Wu Qingluan chose to understand this trust and quickly met her request. At this time, the child was also taken away from the ward. Gu Nankai had already called Cao Cang and Li Meng back when Wu Qingluan comforted Qin Lu for the first time. At this moment, only he and Wu Qingluan entered the ward.
"Don't be nervous, just say whatever comes to your mind. If you don't want to say it, we can talk about it later." Gu Nankai comforted her in advance. Qin Lu smiled bitterly and nodded, accepting his kindness. She leaned on the hospital bed, recalling everything she had seen.
"Two days ago, I went back to my mother's house to celebrate my father's birthday. I just came back this morning. As soon as I opened the door, I smelled a strong smell of blood, but I didn't see anything when I opened the door. The smell of blood was too strong. I didn't know what happened, but I opened the window first, and then I went to the bedroom, and when I..." Qin Lu stopped here and fell into the horrific scene again. She curled up her body and tried to give herself some strength but she still trembled unconsciously.
Gu Nankai glanced at Wu Qingluan, and the two exchanged glances. Wu Qingluan moved closer to Qin Lu and put a hand on her shoulder: "Don't be afraid, you won't be afraid if you tell us. We will protect you, you won't be afraid if you tell us."
Qin Lu also needed to vent at this moment. With Wu Qingluan's encouragement, she held Wu Qingluan's wrist tightly and continued with a trembling voice: "When I pushed open the bedroom door, I saw that scene. Sheng Yuandong was kneeling naked in the blood, and his head... his head was missing, and then..." She held Wu Qingluan's wrist harder and harder: "Then... I saw the open closet, and blood was dripping from the closet. I... I was scared, I ran out, and then... then I called the police..."
Gu Nankai nodded. Because the wardrobe was opened, Qin Lu was standing at the door at the time and her sight was blocked by the wardrobe door, so she could only see blood in the wardrobe but not Sheng Yuandong's head. Fortunately, otherwise the woman's condition would be much more serious.
