Xiao Long returned to the hospital, and the chief clerk had returned and was waiting for Xiao Long. Normally, he would go home after six o'clock, but today he waited until half past ten. It seemed that the chief clerk was preparing to report to him about the retrieval of Shi Yunfeng's body.
"Dean, I have been waiting for you. There is an urgent matter." The purser looked at him reproachfully and said.
"Oh, I just had something to do and went out with my friends."
"The matter of the head nurse's body has been taken care of." The chief clerk spoke with a somewhat excited tone. Since the incident, he suddenly became energetic when talking.
"Really? Thank you for your hard work."
"I got the autopsy report from the place where the body was found, and applied for a cremation permit. The body has been transported to the crematorium. The ashes can be collected tomorrow morning. I also handled the procedures for her place of residence. Right? The funeral is scheduled for tomorrow night."
"Okay." Xiao Long had no choice but to agree to the thoughtful arrangements made by the chief of staff.
"Does the police have a rough idea of the suspect's search?"
"The search is still ongoing and the target has not been identified yet."
"Two policemen came today." When he said this, Xiao Long stared at the face of the purser and said.
"Are you here?" The chief clerk looked surprised.
What else was this guy pretending to do? He even mentioned Wu Chen’s name, which made me so passive in front of the police. He didn’t even mention it to me. He was obviously deliberately looking for trouble! Xiao Long thought.
The purser asked meaningfully: "What did the police say?"
"Asked a lot about the head nurse."
Xiao Long didn't mention the private car, otherwise the chief of affairs would have been entangled in it. He originally wanted to ask the chief of affairs Wu Chen if he was the one who said it, but in order to avoid trouble, he kept silent. He is really becoming more and more timid.
It was Mi Gu who took the initiative to speak: "Really? You didn't ask me much."
Of course, they didn’t ask, it was all you who took the initiative, Xiao Long thought again.
"They may want to ask the dean in person. That's my report. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Long put his hands on the table and stared out the window.
The next afternoon, the purser returned to the hospital with the urn wrapped in white cloth.
Xiao Long asked someone to decorate an unused room into a mourning hall early in the morning, and the chief clerk placed the urn on the altar with a solemn expression. Bouquets of temporarily purchased flowers were placed on both sides of the altar, and fruits and snacks were piled in front of the ashes. The only people who came to express condolences were the purser and five or six old nurses. The purser also put on a formal dress very solemnly. Xiao Long originally planned to wear a dress, but later found it too troublesome and just changed to a black tie.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot one thing." The chief clerk said as he took out an envelope from his arms, "This is a photo taken by the police at the scene where Shi Yunfeng's body was found. Please take a look at it! "
Xiao Long took out the photos taken by the police at the scene from the envelope. He took a photo of the body as a whole, the front of the face, and the front and back sides, especially the parts of the neck where the neck was strangled. enlarge.
However, it is impossible to identify the person's appearance from the photos. The corpse is severely decomposed. The skin has fallen off in many places like a peach, the eye sockets are sunken like a skull, the bridge of the nose is broken, and the twisted and wide-open mouth reveals ghost-like teeth. .
"Is this Shi Yunfeng?" Xiao Long deliberately asked the chief clerk.
"That's right! Look, you can't see clearly his appearance, but from the long outline of his face to his body shape, he is exactly the same as Shi Yunfeng."
The corpse was completely naked, with clearly defined ribs as if they had been modified, the bones of the waist and legs were very thin, and the hair had completely fallen off, except for the clear marks on the neck.
"With such a rotting corpse, even if relatives came to identify it, they would not be able to recognize it. However, this is definitely the head nurse Shi Yunfeng. Looking at the whole thing, I am fully confident." The purser insisted.
In the evening, when Xiao Long was thinking alone, the phone rang.
"Are you a doctor?" It was a nice female voice, "I am Longzhu."
"Ah, it's me." Xiao Long breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect to hear her voice when he was depressed and felt very happy.
"Good evening!" Her sweet voice penetrated into Xiao Long's ears.
"I was really embarrassed to let you see my ugly appearance a few days ago." She apologized with a smile.
"No, have you recovered from your cold?"
"It's okay, doctor. I want to see you tonight. Is that possible?"
"No problem, is something wrong?"
"It's about money. I don't want to hide this kind of thing from the dean, so I decided to confess to you... Can you lend me two million to make a living? I need it in two or three days. I'm really at a loss now..."
"You need two million turnover?!" Xiao Long couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Yes. This is really unspeakable. I just want to tell you. This is how business is done. Sometimes you need to worry about even a small amount of money. Can you lend it to me in the next two or three days..."
"Then let's meet tonight." Xiao Long thought, let's meet him first.
Xiao Long came to the hotel designated by Long Zhu. Tonight he planned to drink to his heart's content and, if possible, dance a few songs with the Dragon Balls. Shi Yunfeng's incident made him extremely depressed, and he wanted to take the opportunity to change his mood.
Longzhu has arrived and she is sitting in a dark corner of the hotel. She was wearing a black suit and black gloves tonight, and the skin on her neck looked particularly fair. Xiao Long saw her graceful figure from a distance.
Xiao Long sat across from her silently. Long Zhu looked at him, raised his eyebrows and smiled. Even though it was in the dark, the dim lights on the wall still illuminated her eyes. She also wore oval opal earrings with gold edges tonight, which matched her plain black suit.
"Sorry, I'm a little late." Xiao Long nodded slightly. She always made herself go crazy waiting, but today it unexpectedly arrived first, which showed how much she needed money.
She put her hand to her lips and smiled sheepishly: "I'm so sorry that you saw me lose my composure!"
"Where." Xiao Long looked at the white and tender skin on her chest, remembering how he almost succeeded that night, and the pleasure still lingered on his fingertips.
"Doctor, I also said on the phone that I am really distressed now! If I could borrow money from the bank, I would not ask you for anything." She suddenly got to the point.
"It's hard to imagine that Miss Longzhu would also worry about money! I can completely understand this kind of thing when doing business. However, you are treating me like an outsider by saying this."
"We really have no choice. The store suddenly needs two million dollars urgently. All you have to do is lend me money for a month."
Xiao Long originally wanted to ask her the purpose of borrowing the money, but considering that he would look stingy, he refrained from asking.
"Okay." Xiao Long nodded in agreement while smoking a cigarette.
"Ah, is it true?" Upon hearing Xiao Long's words, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in her black eyes.
"Yes! But it still takes some time to prepare. It will take two or three days."
Xiao Long is thinking about selling antiques. The 20 million bank deposits that Xia Zhixiong borrowed must not be touched. They are to be given to Longzhu as proof of property. As for those collectibles, Xiao Long is confident that he can sell them at a good price. You only need to sell the ones you are tired of playing with to antique shops. Those antiques should have increased in value now. Although I feel a little distressed, I have to give them up for the Dragon Balls.
Selling probably a dozen pieces would be enough. In the past, even if the hospital had difficulty in cash flow, he had never thought of selling antiques. Antiques were his life, but for the Dragon Balls, he felt it was very worth it.
"Ah, great. It's really saved." She breathed a sigh of relief like a girl.
"If you are happy, I will be happy too." He said loudly and deliberately.
"Thank you so much." Long Zhu raised his neck slightly and drank the wine in the glass. The graceful curve of his neck deeply caught Xiao Long's eyes.
"Dragon Ball, can you spend time with me tonight?"
Longzhu lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"Ah, I mean I want to dance a little bit. I don't know why, but I feel very bored recently. Please accompany me to relieve my boredom!"
"That's right, but..." Longzhu hesitated.
"Can't you?"
"It's not impossible, it's just that I have a date tonight. I have an appointment with someone else first, so it's a little inconvenient..."
Xiao Long just thought that she came here so early specifically for his own sake, but it turned out that he was mistaken. He couldn't help but look disappointed. So, is she dressing up tonight just for herself?
"I'm so sorry! I feel bad for calling you out and making such a presumptuous request." Seeing Xiao Long's face darken, she quickly apologized charmingly.
While Longzhu picked up the bag, he promised: "I will let you have a lot of fun next time. I will excuse you tonight."
Xiao Long sent Long Zhu away from the hotel.
After saying goodbye, Long Zhu extended his hand to Xiao Long, "I will make it up to you next time."
Long Zhu smiled sweetly at Xiao Long. Seeing that Long Zhu was about to leave him, Xiao Long felt that her smile was particularly beautiful. She walked to the car waiting outside the hotel and got in. Xiao Long could only wave his hand and watch her leave.
