"Very well! Then I'll give you a quick one!"
Dazed, it seemed like someone actually responded to me, and unexpectedly, I suddenly felt a burning pain on my cheek!
Damn! Who the hell are you to give me a quick death?
"Puff..."
Before I could react, a mouthful of ice-cold water was sprayed directly on my face.
My whole body trembled, and my consciousness almost instantly became clear. I widened my eyes, and jumped up as if startled, facing the situation like facing a formidable enemy.
"He's awake! He's awake!"
Before I could figure out the situation before me, a familiar and joyful voice suddenly rang in my ears: "Great! You finally woke up!"
"Huh? Is that...Captain Han and Brother Zhang's voice?"
Hearing this familiar voice, I couldn't help but be stunned, only then did I realize that I was already in a hut. And the two people joyfully staring at me, wasn't it Captain Han and Brother Zhang?
What's going on?
I remember I was pulled into the hanging coffin by "Lao Zhang", could it be that Captain Han and Brother Zhang saved me?
"Are you okay?"
Seeing my frowning face, Brother Zhang and Captain Han became anxious, especially Captain Han, who nervously pulled me, and said with concern: "Wang Lin, don’t scare us..."
"I'm fine..."
Being pulled by him like that, I suddenly woke up, shook my head, and couldn't help but ask in suspicion, "How did I get here? Did you save me?"
"Heh...we don't have that capability..."
Captain Han shook his head and laughed, but then blinked suggestively at me, and directly handed me a bowl of longan and millet congee: "Have some loving breakfast first, and let me slowly tell you about it..."
"Oh..."
Hearing him say that, I was actually hungry, completely unaware of any hidden meaning in his words. I took the bowl and sat at the head of the bed, devouring the congee.
I never expected...Captain Han is actually quite knowledgeable about health preservation?
This longan and millet congee tonifies yang and is simply tailored for me, a person with a severe yang injury. After drinking three bowls, I burped contently, and at the same time, Captain Han told me about the whole incident.
As I suspected before, Captain Han and the others successfully got out of the "Ghost Wall Formation" after passing through the "wall".
But after they got out, they found that I did not come out with them.
This made them extremely anxious, and they waited for me on the thirteenth floor for nearly an hour. It was only then that Brother Zhang suddenly remembered Xia Xiaoyi, and they hurried to the school.
They didn't have Xia Xiaoyi's contact information, so they had no choice but to wait in front of the hut. It wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon that they waited for Xia Xiaoyi, and with her, they hurried to the hospital and finally managed to save me.
According to Captain Han, up to today, I had been in a coma for five days and five nights! If it weren't for Xia Xiaoyi's strong opposition, they would have sent me to the hospital long ago...
"So it was her who saved me again?"
After listening to Captain Han's account, I suddenly realized. Indeed, among the people I know, apart from Lao Zhang... well, let's not talk about Lao Zhang...
"By the way, where is she?"
Although Captain Han's account helped me understand the overall process of the matter. He knew nothing about the detailed process of how Xia Xiaoyi entered the "14th floor". At this moment, I still had a lot of doubts and urgently needed to ask Xia Xiaoyi about it.
I must confirm one thing - is Lao Zhang the one in there trying to harm me? If this matter is not clarified, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace.
"Unfortunately, after cooking the congee, she went out..."
It turns out that Xia Xiaoyi cooked the longan and millet congee? No wonder I said Captain Han was a "big idiot", why would he be so caring...
"Haha...you have to work hard! I believe in you, Zhang Brother...hehe..."
After talking about the main business, Brother Zhang couldn't help but joke and send me ambiguous looks, then lightly punched my chest.
I have to say, the Lao Liu family's "resuscitation and recovery" is truly miraculous! In just five or six days, he, who had suffered such serious life-threatening injuries, was as good as new?
Seeing a part can tell the whole, the foundation of the Liu family is truly unfathomable! In the future, I should try not to offend them...
"By the way!"
Thinking of Brother Zhang's injuries, I couldn't help but think of Li Deputy Captain, who had just recovered from a serious illness, and asked hurriedly, "What about Deputy Captain Li? How is he?"
"I don't know about that..."
Mentioning Deputy Captain Li, a hint of concern flashed in Captain Han's eyes, shaking his head, he then said, "Since that day, I haven't seen him again. According to the colleagues at the bureau, he seems to have taken a month's leave, probably at home recuperating..."
"But..."
Suddenly, Captain Han seemed to have remembered something and his expression became even more sullen, as if he had something to say but hesitated.
"But what?" I furrowed my brows and hastily said, "Just tell me already! Why are you beating around the bush with me?"
"It's like this!" Zhang suddenly interrupted, "Yesterday, Captain Han and I saw that middle-aged man at the station, the one who woke up Vice Captain Li at the hospital!"
"Oh?" As soon as I heard this, my interest was piqued and I quickly asked, "What was he doing at the police station?"
Captain Han's expression darkened further and after hesitating for a while, he suddenly said, "He asked Huang to take him to see Feng Chen's body..."
"What!" As soon as he finished speaking, I almost got up from the bed and exclaimed in shock, "Are you saying Feng Chen's body hasn't been cremated yet?"
"No!" Before Captain Han could answer, Zhang shook his head directly and helplessly said, "Huang didn't approve it, and we can only watch! He's never been on good terms with Captain Han, and with the grudge between you and him, now, no matter what Captain Han suggests, he's going to oppose it, so... alas..."
"Damn it!" I exclaimed without waiting for him to finish, my expression suddenly changed, and I looked at my watch, then shouted involuntarily, "It's already the 20th today!"
"The 20th?" The two of them looked at me suspiciously, then asked, "What's the 20th?"
"Ugh..." I sighed heavily, couldn't help but give them a disapproving look, and immediately asked, "Do you remember when Feng Chen died?"
"Feng Chen?" Zhang clearly looked confused and muttered, "According to the forensic report, it seems to be the night of the 13th..."
"Huh? Hold on!" Suddenly, Captain Han seemed to have remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Are you saying tonight is Feng Chen's seventh day?"
"Exactly!" I affirmed and then said earnestly, "If Feng Chen's body is not cremated before nightfall today, once rigor mortis sets in, the entire police station will be in trouble!"
"Damn! That fat Huang! Does he want to harm all our colleagues at the station?" Captain Han finally couldn't sit still and stood up hastily, "No, I have to go back to the station immediately! Xiao Zhang, stay here, let's keep in touch at all times!"
As he spoke, Captain Han had rushed out of the room.
"Ugh..." Watching Captain Han's receding figure, I couldn't help but sigh heavily, hoping he could persuade that fat guy...
"This..." Even after Captain Han had gone far, Zhang still looked skeptical and kept asking, "Is this really that serious?"
"Of course! Once rigor mortis sets in, with just a few of your colleagues at the police station, I doubt they would be able to handle it!" I shook my head and wasn't particularly worried about it, after all, the situation hadn't reached an irreparable point yet. Now that Captain Han had gone back, as long as that fat Huang isn't an idiot, he wouldn't joke around with the entire police station...
On the other hand, I was most eager to figure out my encounter on the 14th floor of the hospital.
Was the person who pulled me into the suspended coffin really Lao Zhang? If it was really him, was it necessary for him to go to such lengths? If he wanted to harm me, couldn't he do it at any time? Why did he need to lure me into that suspended coffin?
One more thing, I was also puzzled by how Xia Xiaoyi managed to save me if the person really was Lao Zhang. Based on everything, I didn't think she would be a match for Lao Zhang!
Speaking of which, where's my little radish?
