Volume 1 Chapter 27 Death of Director Ling
The dead woman turned into a rotten corpse, which saved our lives from the brink of death. Although luck played a big role, the skills of the two of us and my calm mind cannot be ignored.
The sight of us hanging outside the window on the seventh floor and the screams of the bitch alarmed many people. I thought someone would report the case and go back to the police station, worrying about not being able to face Long Shaohui. Shen Bing had the same idea, so the two of us quickly threw the rotten corpse out of the window and went downstairs quickly.
Just as we were driving out of the community, we saw a police car coming and passing us by.
Shen Bing drove the car into an alley, got out and bought two hamburgers and two cups of Coke, with a newspaper tucked under her arm. We hadn't eaten since last night, so I took the hamburger and gobbled it up, drank a large cup of Coke, and felt much better in my stomach.
Shen Bing, however, adjusted the seat back and half-lying on it, eating slowly and reading a newspaper. If it was a beautiful woman, it would be fine, but it was a grown man like me who acted like a woman and started to flip the food I ate up.
Just as I was about to correct her posture, she suddenly screamed, "Ah, your father-in-law is dead!"
"What father-in-law? What a mess." I stretched my head to read the newspaper.
I saw a particularly eye-catching news in the middle of the page: "Director Ling's mansion caught fire, and he was seriously injured and died!" I read the details below. The fire last night not only killed Director Ling, but also his daughter Ling Yaxue. I thought to myself that it was impossible. They all escaped from the burning building at that time. When I left, they had already run to the gate. How could they be seriously injured?
Besides, Yaxue is a living corpse, there is no way she would be burned to death.
"Look, look, there's your girlfriend. Didn't she die? How come she died again?" Shen Bing shouted, pointing at the photo in the newspaper.
I was also puzzled, and answered casually: "She can't be dead, she is a living corpse!"
"Ah, raising corpses alive, what are raising corpses alive?"
I looked at her surprised expression and really wanted to slap her twice. The bitch who had just been made into a rotten corpse by us was a living corpse, and she pretended not to know. But then I thought again, from the beginning to now, I had never had the chance to tell her the truth, and I thought the bitch was also a ghost.
So I explained everything in detail, and she finally understood. She nodded and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. Just now at home, you told me that your father-in-law raised some zombies, and I was surprised."
Here she goes again, what do you mean my father-in-law? I glared at her and said, "He's my ex-girlfriend's father. We haven't even started dating yet, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hehe, some people like to call their father-in-law before they get married." She smiled at me. It was so disgusting to act like a girl. I couldn't help but want to vomit. I was a good man, but she ruined all my manners.
I snatched the newspaper from her and read the news again, thinking that the matter had become complicated. I originally thought that Yaxue's father was the mastermind, and that the dead Sanba arson was obviously a cover-up for the relationship between the living corpse and Director Ling, but since he was burned to death, I have to rethink it.
Otherwise, Director Ling is innocent and knows nothing. After Yaxue died, she was spotted by a sorcerer who took her ghost and raised her into a living corpse. In Shangcheng Town, after I killed Qiangwei, the flower maniac, the sorcerer was shocked. He also found out that Yaxue and I had known each other for a long time. He was afraid that the secret of raising living corpses would be exposed to the world, so he killed Yaxue and silenced her. At the same time, Director Ling was also implicated.
But why did the sorcerer let Yaxue go home after raising her into a zombie? Didn't Director Ling know that his daughter was dead? Moreover, the sorcerer must have a purpose in raising zombies, and it couldn't be out of kindness. This practice goes against common sense.
After thinking about it, I found that there were inconsistencies and I couldn't find the real reason. When my thoughts were stuck in the quagmire, I suddenly thought of something and said to Shen Bing, "Drive to the hospital."
She was startled and asked, "Why go to the hospital?"
"I want to investigate whether Director Ling is really dead."
"Idiot, how could a hospital make a mistake like this?"
"Do you want to be a detective?" I asked.
"Of course I have thought about it. Why are you asking this suddenly?" she asked in confusion.
"If you want, just follow my instructions. Don't keep asking questions. I guarantee that you will solve a major case and be commended by your leaders." I said with a mysterious smile.
"Are you that amazing?" She pouted and took a taxi to the hospital.
Last night, although all our belongings were taken away to the police station and preserved as the deceased's belongings, Shen Bing's changed clothes were in the car and her police ID was in her pocket. I held my ID and tried to speak like a woman in the hospital, which made the female nurse who was helping me check my medical records stare at me with wide eyes, probably thinking, how can such a beautiful girl speak like a broken gong?
Shen Bing rolled her eyes in anger, but there was nothing she could do. If she spoke, she would definitely make a large number of nurses fall down.
Director Ling and his daughter Yaxue passed away around ten o'clock last night. They suffered severe burns, with the burn area reaching 100%. After several hours of rescue, they failed to save their lives.
After we came out of the hospital, Shen Bing asked me, isn't this a waste of effort? I said it wasn't in vain, knowing when Director Ling died would make this matter easier. Seeing her puzzled face, she continued to ask questions, so I hurriedly urged her to drive. Some things haven't been fully understood yet, so I can't talk about them casually, so as not to ruin my reputation. Although she pestered me and asked me endlessly, I just kept silent, which made her angry. She didn't ask me where I was going next, and drove forward.
"What's Director Ling's name? Does he have security guards and a nanny at home?" I asked.
"Hmph!" She tilted her head.
This girl seemed to be upset with me. She ignored me no matter what I asked. "Ling Heng, this name is quite unique." I held back my laughter and deliberately misinterpreted it.
"What Ling Heng? His name is Ling Peiqiang." She realized that she had fallen into my trap and slapped him on the mouth. I laughed so hard.
After a few words of deception from me, she confessed the other question I asked earlier. The Ling family has two security guards and a nanny. I know that Yaxue is an only child and has no brothers or sisters. After Ling Peiqiang and Yaxue died, Yaxue's mother Yan Ning was the only one left in the family.
I asked Shen Bing to drive to Ling's house, but she said why would we go there when everything was burnt to the ground? I said your old problem has come back, and I told you not to ask too many questions. Shen Bing glared at me, pouted almost all the way, and drove the car to the end of the field.
The dark little building stood on the ruins, looking desolate, and at this moment one could still smell the lingering smell of smoke and fire. The big iron door was tightly shut, and no one knew whether it was locked again after the rescue or it had never been opened. Many curious people gathered outside the house, pointing and whispering.
As we got off the bus, a young man wearing glasses came over, stretched out his hand to me and said with a smile: "Officer Shen, why are you here? I heard that you were injured in a car accident last night..." At this point, he leaned forward mysteriously and whispered in my ear: "It is said that you died once last night and came back to life through a corpse. Is it true?"
I touched the big bump on my forehead, which was still swollen. I wondered who this person was, how well-informed he was. I was wondering, Shen Bing pulled me back and whispered in my ear, "This is a tabloid reporter, he knows me very well, he took the photo yesterday, don't mess up your performance."
"Isn't this the one who ran away from the murder scene yesterday?" The bespectacled reporter pointed at Shen Bing and said, "I still have a lot of photos of you in my camera , including a very weird picture. Are you interested in seeing it?"
My mind was moved. What a weird scene! Could it be that Yaxue did something out of the ordinary? I covered my mouth and winked at Shen Bing, and she immediately understood that we were going to play a double act.
"Okay, let's take a look." She opened her mouth and I spoke. Anyway, I covered my mouth and the two of us stood together again. The reporter with glasses didn't see anything wrong.
He took out his camera and walked towards us. He took out the so-called weird photo and held the camera in front of us. When I looked at it, it was indeed weird!
