Cheng Miao remembered the name of the little girl: Liu Xue, a little girl who lived in 402. From the thick missing person notice, you can see the desperation of her parents when they were looking for her.
After making sure that there were no unnecessary clues in the corridor, Cheng Miao picked up the pile of missing persons notices and walked up the stairs.
The first floor of this old-fashioned residential building is the entrance corridor, and the floors where people actually live start from the second floor.
There are two families on each floor. Some families moved out in a hurry and the doors were not locked.
On the second floor is a private clinic. A sign that no longer lights up reads: People's Livelihood Clinic.
Cheng Miao gently pushed open the closed door, and a row of tails filed in behind her.
The room was much brighter than the corridor. Cheng Miao opened the curtains to let the light in, and saw the layout of the room through the flying dust.
This is an old-fashioned private clinic. The outside is a simple consultation area made of a set of rickety tables and chairs. There is also a consultation bed next to a huge medicine cabinet.
There were some acupuncture packets and the like placed on the small iron cabinet next to the treatment bed, and some discarded medical treatment sheets and a medical record were piled messily on the table.
There are many honorary certificates and photos hanging on the walls. From the banners delivered, we can know that the doctor at the Minsheng Clinic was named Xu and seemed to be quite famous at the time.
Cheng Miao raised his head and tried hard to distinguish the handwriting on the yellowed newspaper framed on the wall. Dr. Xu was a well-known doctor here and a rare college student at that time.
Although it cannot cure acute or serious illnesses, it can cure common colds and coughs. Moreover, Dr. Xu seems to be very good at folk remedies and has considerable experience in the treatment of some difficult and complicated diseases.
In the era where this dungeon was set, doctors were already a very rare profession, not to mention that private doctors who spent most of their lives treating neighbors in the community were even more respected, and the pennants in the cabinets were piled high.
Cheng Miao looked through the medical records and found from the home address that almost every household came to see Dr. Xu.
Not surprisingly, I saw the medical records of Liu Xue from 402 households in the medical records. It's not a special disease, it's just a bad stomach.
At the patient's signature area, Liu Xue wrote her name crookedly and drew a small heart next to it.
While Cheng Miao was looking for clues, the screams of Ergou and Niuniu suddenly came from inside.
Cheng Miao looked up suddenly. At some point, the three children slipped into the room inside.
Cheng Miao casually picked up an old-fashioned folding stool leaning against the wall and walked over cautiously.
As soon as they reached the door, Ergou and Niuniu ran out crying and threw themselves into Cheng Miao's arms.
Cheng Miao: "..." Being held by a child is much more frightening than the copy itself.
Huzi ran out with an ugly face. He was a bit older after all, and although he was scared, he was not as scared as Ergou, who had runny noses.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Miao's expressionless face seemed to the children to be the calmness unique to adults, and her slightly trembling hands holding the folding chair, well, the chair must be too heavy for Sister Miaomiao to lift.
"There's...somebody's body inside..." Ergou couldn't explain clearly as he cried, and kept pressing on Cheng Miao.
Cheng Miao: "...Don't stick your nose on me!" Thanks to Ergou, she was so disgusted that she didn't even have time to panic when she heard there was a corpse.
Niuniu cried for a while and seemed a little embarrassed. She blushed and retreated behind Huzi. Seeing that nothing could be said, Cheng Miao put the two dogs aside and walked into the room.
The room was a little dark. Cheng Miao tentatively touched around the wall next to the door frame. Sure enough, he found a hanging rope. He pulled it gently, and some light bulbs with poor contact flashed twice and shakily lit up.
As soon as the light came on, Cheng Miao saw the so-called corpse.
They were two medical human skeletons, one large and one small. The meridians and acupuncture points were marked on the bodies with oil-based pens, and they were placed just as they entered the door.
At that time, information was not flowing enough, and people's minds were still a little closed-minded. It was normal to be shocked if they had never seen this thing before.
Cheng Miao patiently explained it to several children, and their expressions improved.
Cheng Miao breathed a sigh of relief and looked around the room. This seemed to be the place where Dr. Xu usually rested.
A single bed was placed against the wall, and the bedding was carefully folded and placed, showing the owner's neatness.
There was a book next to the pillow, wrapped in newspaper. Cheng Miao flipped through it. It was a medical book.
There was nothing extra in the room. There was a lamp on a table that could no longer be turned on, and a small red plastic standing mirror covered with dust.
This is just an ordinary room.
The tip of Cheng Miao's nose moved slightly, and he smelled something like burnt Chinese medicine.
Cheng Miao's nose is very good, but it is not enough in a room with all kinds of old smells.
After searching carefully, he found no place like the kitchen. Cheng Miao could only attribute the strange smell to the fact that the house had been vacant for too long.
Ignoring the sobbing children sitting in rows on the hospital bed, Cheng Miao walked to the remaining room: the bathroom.
Regarding the hardest-hit areas in horror movies, Cheng Miao, who has always been afraid of and loves to watch them, can name 20 classic horror scenes without even thinking about them.
After being frightened by the terrifying scenes in his mind, Cheng Miao pushed open the bathroom door with trembling hands and feet.
This is a very old bathroom with only a brick sink and a simple shower room.
There were some sanitary utensils such as brooms and mops piled in the sink, and the faucet was leaking due to age and disrepair.
"Tick-tock...tick-tock..." Cheng Miao was frightened and twisted hard to stop the terrible background music.
The sound of something falling came from the shower room, and the small sound sounded like thunder in Cheng Miao's ears.
At this time, residential buildings rarely had independent toilets, and the bathrooms were only covered with a layer of cement, a water pipe was placed on the top, and a hole was cut in the wall to make a simple floor drain.
There was a crumpled rag spread out on the ground. It looked like it was an old piece of clothing that had no need to be remade. It might have been a little white because it had been used for so long.
Looking at the traces of dust on the water pipe, this rag must have been placed on the water pipe before. I don’t know what caused it to fall to the ground.
Not believing that there was any so-called coincidence in the copy, Cheng Miao took a 360-degree observation and found that there was indeed no female ghost with disheveled hair, and there were no slender, pale fingers in the floor drain.
Knowing that certain triggering conditions are required for the development of general games, Cheng Miao, who was still in the clue collection stage, had to be patient.
The bathroom is shabby and doesn't even have a mirror. The only thing that reflects light in the whole room is the small red plastic mirror in the bedroom.
This is also good, as it reduces the chance of seeing something in the mirror that you shouldn't.
Seeing that there was nothing extra in this clinic, Cheng Miao planned to check out the rooms on other floors first. So far, he still had no idea about the prompts.
At this moment, a hoarse and resentful singing suddenly came from outside.
The hair on Cheng Miao's back suddenly stood up.
