The so-called human cause and effect, if there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause. This is an unavoidable proposition.
A person dies when he is born, or when life is just beginning to be conceived, the cause is born and then ends abruptly, and life ends at this moment. This is his cause and at the same time his effect.
The causes and effects are different, the sizes are different, and they all represent the origin and birth of life, as well as the end and disappearance.
With Shen Xing's words echoing in her mind, when Li Naijing asked the attending doctor in the obstetrics department where the baby's body was placed, the middle-aged woman was obviously stunned for a moment.
"You mean where the baby's body was placed?" she asked.
Li Naijing nodded: "How many baby corpses are currently placed here? Whether they were miscarriages, fetal deaths, deaths due to illness or other reasons."
The attending doctor in the first obstetrics department was full of confusion and didn’t know why the Sheriff asked this suddenly, but she knew that she was obliged to cooperate with the Sheriff, so she didn’t think much and replied: “I have to check, please wait a moment. "
After saying this, she turned around and started working on the computer behind her, calling up the archived information. She looked very skilled.
After a while, she opened the spreadsheet, then framed some numbers with the mouse, then looked at the total number displayed in the lower left corner, raised her head and said to Li Naijing: "Currently, there are 13 corpses of young children in our hospital, the oldest is 6 years old. Died of illness. The youngest was from an abortion and the body was not fully formed."
"Which unit will handle these corpses?" Li Naijing asked.
"City Yunjing Funeral Home, they will come regularly to take away the body for cremation." The attending doctor explained: "If the young child has relatives, the relatives will make arrangements in advance, and the staff of the funeral home will also take away the body as soon as possible. Go for cremation. If there are no relatives, or if the relatives ignore it, the staff of the funeral home will come regularly to collect and cremate it."
"Where is the body now?" Li Naijing began to speak faster.
The attending doctor walked outside the office, stood in the corridor, and pointed to the obstetrics building opposite: "The neonatal room you were in just now is on the fourth floor, and the morgue is on the first floor of that building and the innermost room in the corridor. . However, there is no way to enter from the corridor on the first floor. The door is specially sealed from the inside. There is a door in the garden at the back of the building. The body is usually sent away from there and put in there."
Li Naijing had already walked to the stairs and said to the attending doctor: "Tell someone to open the door there immediately. We want to go in and search!"
"Ah!" The attending doctor was a little frightened, "What are you searching for?"
However, her words were not answered. Li Naijing had already started to go downstairs. While going downstairs, she took out her mobile phone and called the man YG06 of the task force who was guarding the fourth floor opposite.
"You come to the first floor immediately and go to the garden at the back. There is a door there. We will meet in front of the door. Let others guard the newborn room closely to guard against every special situation. If anything unusual happens, report it immediately!"
The other side quickly agreed, and soon he saw the YG06 man on the opposite side already trotting down the small building.
The distance from his direction to the downstairs was closer. When Li Naijing arrived at the small garden at the back, the YG06 man was already standing in front of a small iron door waiting.
Seeing Li Naijing's arrival, he said: "There is only this door here. I just knocked on the door, but no one opened it."
Li Naijing said: "If someone inside opens the door, you may have to raise your gun and shoot. Wait, someone will come with the key soon."
Hearing what Li Naijing said, the YG06 man seemed to realize something. He didn't say anything more, but pulled out his gun and stood by the door.
Not long after, two middle-aged men wearing light blue clothes walked over quickly. They were wearing hospital logistics clothes. They looked like they had been working in the hospital for some time.
One of them held a bunch of keys in his hand. He first opened a copper lock hanging on the outside of the iron door, and then opened the iron door to reveal the wooden door inside.
The door also looked very strong, and then the man used another shorter key to unlock the door.
When the door opened inside and revealed a small gap, he and his companions stepped back without any intention of entering.
Li Naijing opened the door first.
The staff member who opened the door reminded: "The light switch is by the door on the right."
Li Naijing reached in and pressed it, but there was no response.
The staff member was stunned for a moment, then took a few steps forward. Instead of entering the room, he reached in and quickly pressed the switch several times, but nothing happened.
"Hey, that's weird! When I came out in the morning, the lights were all working."
"Don't get close yet." Li Naijing ordered, and then said to the YG06 man: "Come in with me, and then close the iron door."
This iron door is composed of multiple iron fences. There are certain gaps between the iron bars. This means that even if the small iron door is closed, the light from the outside can spread through the large number of gaps into the room with the small iron door closed. inside.
Even if Li Naijing and YG06 man cannot turn on the lights after entering the room, they can still roughly see the situation inside through the light.
Of course, if you go to a certain position inside the morgue, you won't be able to see so clearly.
After the two walked in, they found that there was an aisle first, and inside the aisle was the morgue, and the distance between the morgue and the aisle was not far.
But because these are still two spaces, the real morgue does not actually receive much light from outside the iron door.
Li Naijing took off the flashlight on her body, and the YG06 man was wearing a black tactical vest. There was a tactical flashlight plugged into the lower left side of the vest. He also took it off and opened it at this moment.
Not only that, there is also a small spotlight under the muzzle of the man's pistol, which has a very strong sense of concentrated light.
The two of them turned on the flashlights at the same time, with the YG06 man behind and Li Naijing in front, walked through the aisle and entered the morgue.
"Miss Sheriff, there is a power switch at the end of the morgue. You can go over and see if it has tripped." The hospital staff waiting outside reminded: "If it has tripped, you need to press the blue button next to it first. Press the small colored button, and then push the switch up, otherwise it won't work."
"I know." Li Naijing replied, looking into the morgue.
From the moment she entered here, a very uncomfortable feeling enveloped her whole body, which gave Li Naijing reason to believe that there was indeed something abnormal in this room.
The temperature in the room was very low, even bone-chillingly cold. A high-power central air conditioner was installed around the ceiling. The air was filled with a weird smell of disinfectant water mixed with other smells. Smell it too much and it made people feel very uncomfortable.
In addition, there is a powerful refrigerator in three corners, which is running rumble at the moment, but the noise is not particularly loud.
The surroundings of the morgue are painted milky white. At first glance, there is a row of specially made metal beds. The feet of the metal beds are fixed to the ground and cannot be moved. However, the head and foot of the bed are separated. There are two protruding handles, so people can stand forward or backward and directly grab the handles to lift the bed, which means they can easily lift the body on the bed.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen corpses of different sizes placed on the bed, all placed in milky white body bags. Judging from the height of the bulges in the body bags, all the corpses should be placed with their heads inward and their feet facing outwards.
Due to the condensation of indoor air, these body bags no longer look so soft, but give people a frozen and hard feeling, and the wrinkles formed on the surface can no longer smooth out on their own.
Li Naijing focused her attention on the row of body bags of different sizes and asked the YG06 man to go to the corner of the morgue to check whether the power supply had tripped.
She herself used a flashlight to shine on the corpses and walked over step by step.
Because the body has been frozen for a period of time, the smell is smaller, but it cannot be completely concealed.
However, Li Naijing could still feel that the smell from the innermost body bag was stronger, as if it had been left there for a long time.
She set her target on the innermost body and walked over cautiously, paying close attention to her feet to prevent slipping.
There is actually a layer of ice slag on the floor of this morgue, and the ground is very crude. There is no mesh anti-slip layer. If you walk a little faster, there is no guarantee that you will not fall.
Li Naijing quickly walked over to the last corpse. After a moment's hesitation, she bit the flashlight with a small handle in her mouth, then reached out and grabbed the metal zipper on the surface of the body bag.
The metal zipper was cold to the touch. Li Naijing grabbed the bottom of the zipper with one hand and slowly pulled it down with the other.
Perhaps because it has been frozen for a long time, the metal zipper is difficult to open and makes a harsh sound.
Not long after, a purple-green face appeared under Li Naijing's flashlight. The child's eyes were closed tightly. He looked about five or six years old. He should be the one who died of illness as mentioned by the attending doctor.
I just don’t know if he has any family members, otherwise he wouldn’t have stayed here for so long, waiting for people from the funeral home to take him away.
Li Naijing didn't stop in her hands and continued to pull the metal zipper downwards until it reached the bottom.
The child's body was fully exposed and unclothed, which actually made it easier to cremate.
A strong smell hit her face, and Li Naijing's nose wrinkled, but she did not avoid it. Instead, she looked carefully and made sure there was nothing abnormal before closing the zipper again.
At this time, the voice of the YG06 man in the corner of the morgue came: "The location of the electric switch has been found."
"Check if the circuit breaker is tripped and restore it." Li Naijing still had the flashlight in her mouth. Although her words were a little vague, they still came out clearly.
After waiting for a moment, there was no response from the other side. It seemed that this guy was trying.
Li Naijing slowly opened the body bag of the penultimate body. This body bag was the smallest and should be the smallest model here.
After opening it, only a vague, slightly human-shaped mass of flesh could be seen.
Li Naijing just glanced at it and immediately closed the metal zipper, frowning slightly at the same time.
At this moment, her body felt like it was about to freeze, and she couldn't help but want to stamp her feet on the spot. Just as she was about to pull the third body bag from the bottom, the voice came again from the direction where the YG06 man had just spoken.
"How's it going? No reaction?"
Li Naijing shook her head and said: "No, you try again to make sure it has not tripped!"
The YG06 man answered, but Li Naijing didn't hear it clearly.
"What did you say?"
There was another reply immediately, but Li Naijing still didn't hear it clearly. She said again: "Louder, I have a refrigerator running here."
"Is that place fun?"
At this moment, a voice from the YG06 man came clearly into Li Naijing's ears. The voice was indeed louder than before, but the content of what he said made Li Naijing feel puzzled.
This time she was not speaking. Instead, she retracted her hands that were already holding the metal zipper of the third to last body bag, took off the flashlight from her mouth, and looked sideways.
When she saw this, she was suddenly shocked and found that the first body bag in the front, which she just passed by, was actually open at the moment!
Li Naijing remembered clearly that the metal zipper of the bag was absolutely closed just now. All the body bags here were closed. When she came in, none of them were open.
This first body bag seems to be of medium size here, and the body it contains may be about three or four years old.
At this moment, Li Naijing heard the YG06 man's voice again. This time, because the distance between the two was closer, he spoke more clearly.
"No, I won't go if it's fun."
Li Naijing immediately took out the newly issued special pistol and held it in her hand. At the same time, she lowered the light of the flashlight and kept it parallel to her line of sight.
She paid attention to the slippery ground under her feet and approached the direction where she was speaking. During this period, you must also pay attention to whether the corpse that ran out of the body bag is hiding in a dark corner at this moment.
Soon, the light of the flashlight illuminated a figure, which was the back of the YG06 man.
At this moment, the man's back was turned to him, facing a small electrical box on the wall. There was no refrigerator in that place, and it seemed that the temperature was not as low as here. At least there was no sign of ice on the wall.
"YG06?" Li Naijing asked.
When performing tasks, they will directly call the task force members by their number instead of calling each other by name, so that no matter how many times they come into contact, there is no possibility of calling the wrong person.
And some are extremely good at imitating or even copying. They can learn the stress response to human names, and ordinary people cannot detect the difference in their responses at all.
But when calling out the person's number, this reaction ability often becomes slightly slower. A discerning person will feel as if he is half a beat too slow.
Because usually anomalies first associate with the name of the person being copied at this time, and then associate with their number, and then make relevant reactions. This is just like the sequence in which they are located, whether it is evolution or degeneration. Go from one point on a line to the next node in sequence, rather than jumping forward.
The YG06 man did not turn around or even answer Li Naijing.
His voice continued: "I still have things to do and I can't leave. Well, otherwise my superiors will punish me."
Listening to this voice, he seemed to be having a conversation with someone, but there was no one around him at the moment.
Although Li Naijing had a slight feeling of horror when she entered the morgue just now, it wasn't until this moment when she stared at the back of the task force that a lot of goosebumps appeared all over her body.
Li Naijing had an intuition that this YG06 man's figure... seemed to have gotten a little taller.
She immediately moved the flashlight light to the feet of the YG06 man, and then suddenly shook.
I saw this man standing on tiptoes, and his heels were stepping on the instep of a child whose body was purple and blue. The child's body was tightly attached to his back, motionless.
