Volume 4: Return of the Dead Chapter 0095 Buried
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shu didn't think about it too much, and went to the backyard of the morgue to bury the body as the person on the other end of the phone said.
He had little education and did not know much about the law, but he knew that since his superiors had given the order, he had to do it, so as to ensure that his job would not be lost.
Hospitals are undoubtedly the places where the most corpses are born. Most of them will be taken away by the family members of the deceased for cremation. As for the remaining small part, they will be donated for free or traded to the hospital for a fee. Of course, there are also a very small number of corpses whose identities cannot be identified, and they are all confiscated anyway.
He didn't quite know why the hospital kept so many corpses. He just heard that the organs of fresh corpses could be transplanted or left for medical students to dissect. As for the useless ones, they were naturally thrown away.
He had dealt with corpses a few times before, and they were always sent to the crematorium for cremation, and then disposed of somewhere else. As for today's direct burial, it was the first time he had done it.
Three bodies were lying quietly on three beds, two of them were covered with a layer of white cloth, and the remaining one had a black bag on his head and a layer of tape wrapped around his body.
This kind of packaging of the corpse was exactly what he wanted to see. What he hated most was seeing the face of a dead body, because it gave him a terrible fantasy that the corpse would open its eyes at any time.
After learning that the body was sent by the hospital and not just an extra body, he no longer felt uneasy. He smiled grimly at the body, half-knelt down and carried the body on his back.
Carrying the corpse, Chen Shu swaggered out . Fortunately, he didn't run into anyone, and trotted all the way to the backyard of the morgue. It was called a backyard, but it was just a small open space. It hadn't rained in the past few days, so the soil was a little dry, and it was not a good time to dig.
Chen Shu originally wanted to ask "Brother Wang" to call a few people to help him, but when he got here, he saw that the pit had already been dug. He just put the body in and filled the soil on both sides and everything would be fine.
He put the body on the ground, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, and lit it up. During the process, his eyes were always on the body on the ground, intentionally or unintentionally.
There was almost no smell of formalin on the corpse, nor was it as cold to the touch as other corpses. The worst thing was that it seemed to be still breathing!
"It can't be that he's not dead yet?"
Chen Shu muttered uneasily. He tried to stretch his hand in front of the corpse and roughly feel the position close to his nose. There was no hot air coming from his fingertips. It seemed that this was indeed a corpse.
But it felt weird, it was hard to describe what the feeling was, it was like he was doing something unbelievable.
"Pooh!"
He spat on the ground and threw away the half-smoked cigarette butt. He picked up the body again and threw it into the pit. After a while, he began to fill it with soil. Soon, the half-meter deep pit was filled up.
"It's done, goodbye!"
Leaving this sentence, Chen Shu slowly left.
On the other hand, Lao Gao followed Xiao Mo's advice and rushed to the news agency early in the morning. The news agency is the largest news media in Yuanbin City. Generally, the news of the city is edited here and then published to various website platforms.
After entering, he revealed his true identity and found the editor-in-chief of the news agency. The editor-in-chief was a man in his fifties, with a leader's signature slicked-back hair, which was combed to a shiny finish.
"What do you find me for?"
The chief editor was somewhat surprised by Lao Gao's identity, but Lao Gao did not explain and went straight to the point of his visit:
"Well, I think you should know about the two suicides that happened in this city in the past two days, right?"
"Well, I heard people talking about it down there."
"That's good. The reason I came to you is that I hope you can ask your editor to add a missing person notice in a prominent position in this report. I think this request should not be difficult, right?"
The editor-in-chief thought for a moment, then nodded and replied:
"Well, I can help you with this."
"Then I'll leave it to you. It's best to start editing now. This matter is very urgent!"
Realizing that this matter might be of great importance, the chief editor immediately called one of his editors to come up. The person who came up was a woman in her twenties, dressed in a fresh and elegant outfit, which made her look detached and otherworldly.
"This is the editor responsible for this news, Qu Ying. If you have any requests, just tell her."
Lao Gao looked at Zheng who was standing aside with a look of surprise on her face, and said to her with a smile:
"I'll trouble you in a moment."
Qu Ying also looked towards Lao Gao at this time and nodded subconsciously:
"nothing."
After leaving the editor-in-chief's office, Lao Gao followed Qu Ying to her office. Qu Ying first poured him a glass of water out of politeness, then sat down and turned on the computer.
Lao Gao took a symbolic sip from the water cup , then he walked to Qu Ying's side. Qu Ying had an extremely pure face, and even Lao Gao couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Qu Ying opened the editorial page of the news, and then she said to Lao Gao:
"I just finished editing this report last night, and it's scheduled to be published at noon today."
"I just spoke to your editor-in-chief, and he said it can be published early."
"Well, I don't know what you want to add to the report yet?"
Lao Gao thought for a moment, then he replied:
"Let's say, we are looking for Wu Qi and Cheng Wushuang's friends in Qingfeng County. Um... to be precise, they were their childhood playmates. Their real names are unknown. We only know their nicknames or nicknames at the time. They were Dashu, Gouzi, Lei, Ajun, Wuqi..."
"Qingfeng County?"
Qu Ying suddenly interrupted Lao Gao.
"Yes."
Lao Gao thought Qu Ying didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again:
"Qingfeng County."
"So, the people who died two days ago were Wuqi and Xiaoshuang? Oh my God!"
Qu Ying raised her hand and touched her smooth forehead, looking very unbelievable.
Seeing Qu Ying's performance, an idea suddenly popped up in Lao Gao's mind:
"Do you know these people?"
Qu Ying did not directly answer Lao Gao's question, but asked in return:
"What are you doing with these people? What is your relationship?"
"We are childhood friends."
Hearing Lao Gao's answer, Qu Ying quickly turned her head. She looked carefully at Lao Gao's ferocious face, and then said uncertainly:
“Are you a big tree?”
Hearing this, Lao Gao was almost certain of Qu Ying's identity. While sighing in his heart, he suddenly laughed:
"I'm Jun, idiot!"
Today, no one visited the morgue all day, and Chen Shu once again stared at the computer screen for the whole day.
He was actually thinking about something. He had been waiting for the call from the editor so that he could send Wuqi and Xiaoshuang off for the last time. But throughout the day, his phone was unusually quiet, and he didn't receive any calls.
"Fuck, this editor is so fucking irresponsible!"
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the glass window onto his face, further highlighting the irritability in his heart.
After staring at the afterglow of the setting sun for a while, Chen Shu put on his clothes, pushed the door and walked out.
When he came back, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Because he had been a little dazed for the past two days, he drank a little for the first time even though he usually didn't drink.
The result was obvious, he barely found his way back. Stumbling back to the morgue, without even bothering to take off his clothes, Chen Shu threw himself heavily onto the bed and soon fell asleep.
"rustle……"
I don’t know how long I slept, but suddenly a series of rustling sounds came into Chen Shu’s ears, and this sound became clearer and clearer as he woke up.
He suddenly opened his eyes, but found that everything in front of him was pitch black. He tried to struggle to get up, but found that he couldn't do it at all, as his hands and feet seemed to be entangled by something. Not only that, he found that he couldn't breathe at all, and something was pressing down on his face, and that thing was getting heavier and heavier.
His life force was fading away rapidly. Just before he died, he vaguely heard a voice coming from above:
"It's done, goodbye!"
