A moment later, as if realizing something, Du Feng's face changed drastically.

　　Jiang Cheng stood up, his bold guess was gradually becoming a reality.

　　The thing from last night... perhaps it wasn't a ghost.

　　But a person.

　　The woman in bed in room 906.

　　Because her leg muscles were atrophied, she could only crawl forward, like a snake. It was precisely for this reason that her upper body strength was so developed.

　　This also explained why the thing took 23 steps to travel such a short distance between the two doors.

　　Because she wasn't walking at all, but crawling bit by bit.

　　And that's why her clothes were so dirty.

　　At the time, the caregiver jokingly picked up the clothes and said they were so dirty, they looked like they had been used to mop the floor.

　　Indeed.

　　They *had* been used to mop the floor.

　　And from the 9th floor all the way down to the 6th floor, and then back up again.

　　But... Jiang Cheng was even more curious as to why she would do this?

　　At the same time, Jiang Cheng also thought of the guy impersonating a nurse.

　　Li Kaifeng died at this guy's hands.

　　But then, Jiang Cheng shook his head and dismissed the idea.

　　The woman from room 906 wouldn't have killed Li Kaifeng.

　　Even if she could disguise herself well, her atrophied leg muscles wouldn't lie.

　　Jiang Cheng believed that even if the woman could stand up, her walking behavior and posture would definitely be extremely difficult, and at least the difference from a normal person would be very obvious.

　　What's more... she would have to carry a medical tray with an IV drip inside.

　　This might not be much for an ordinary person, but for her, it wouldn't be so easy.

　　Moreover, Weiwei and Wang Changguo, who were left in the room, were just inexperienced, not stupid.

　t see such obvious loopholes.

　　So... they weren't the same person.

　　The nurse who came to kill them might be a person, or it might be a real ghost.

　　The door opened, and Du Feng, feeling a layer of thin ice on his back, immediately slipped inside. Recalling Jiang Cheng's actions just now, he felt an inexplicable rejection in his heart.

　　"It's almost time," Weiwei whispered, reminding him.

　　The time they had agreed with Huai Yi and the others was 2 hours later.

　　Next to the hospital bed was a very small bedside table, on which was placed an old-fashioned red telephone. Jiang Cheng took out a small card from his pocket and dialed the number.

　　After making the call, the group left the room and returned to the 2nd floor.

　　As soon as they reached the door, they saw Huai Yi and Cao Yang hurrying back, covered in dust.

　　After the two groups met, they introduced the clues they had collected.

　　Cao Yang was very burly, carrying a case of mineral water in each hand. It seemed that the mysterious nurse had sounded the alarm for them.

　　Huai Yi said that from now on, everyone should no longer drink the water from the thermos bottles provided by the hospital.

　　After hearing Jiang Cheng's introduction, Huai Yi and Cao Yang's expressions changed.

　　After a while, Cao Yang said, "We visited several restaurants that have been open here for a long time, asking them if anything special has happened in the hospital recently."

　　"At first, everyone said no, but the owner of one of the breakfast shops inadvertently mentioned something like this." Cao Yang looked at Jiang Cheng, his expression turning strange. "It didn't happen recently, it was 10 years ago."

　　"10 years ago, when the sky was just beginning to dawn, the breakfast shop owner said that he had just pulled open the rolling shutter of his shop when he heard someone shouting from the direction of the hospital."

　　"Later, he turned his head to look and happened to see someone fall from the building."

　　"The owner was terrified. The person who fell was a man, and it was said that he died on the spot."

　　Cao Yang paused for a few seconds, then looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Later, the owner pointed out the location where the man fell, on the 6th floor, roughly... roughly around there."

　　Cao Yang reached out and pointed to one side of the corridor.

　　Jiang Cheng looked in the direction he was pointing, roughly near the abandoned corridor.

　　The man must have fallen from one of the locked rooms.

　　"Is it clear why?" Jiang Cheng asked.

　　"The specifics aren't clear." Cao Yang said, "The owner also asked people about it later, but the people in the hospital were very tight-lipped. In the end, all he knew was that the man seemed to have killed someone, and then, knowing that there was no hope of escape, he jumped to his death."

　　"Killed someone, and then committed suicide?"

　　"Yeah." Cao Yang nodded. "That's what the owner said."

　　"The police came later, but after investigating, they left again, and no one was arrested." Huai Yi said, "It should have been suicide, no doubt."

　　The room fell into a brief silence.

　　10 years ago...

　　A man who killed someone in the hospital and then committed suicide by jumping from a room on the 6th floor.

　　The hospital's silence on the matter.

　　The abandoned rooms on the 6th floor.

　　A nurse who went crazy but was taken care of by the hospital for 10 years.

　　And Chief Qi, who brought them here, not interested in investigating the truth, but only thinking about getting rid of ghosts.

　　The clues seemed messy, and for a time, they couldn't find any leads.

　　The most urgent task now was to find out what exactly happened in the hospital 10 years ago.

　　And... who was the person killed by the man?

　　"The person who was killed..." Yu Yu raised her small face and asked softly, "Could it be the ghost in the hospital?"

　　A natural guess.

　　But one thing that didn't make sense was that Qi Zhu Ren didn't kill the person, so what was he afraid of?

　　"Could it be that the murder is also related to Chief Qi?" Weiwei asked.

　　Stroking his chin, Huai Yi said, "Perhaps we can think about it from a different perspective. The ghost might not be the person who was killed, but the man who killed the person and then jumped to his death."

　　It was a very unique idea, but Jiang Cheng didn't think so.

　　There were only so many clues for now, and there was no point in discussing it further. Jiang Cheng calculated the time and felt that it was about time, so he said he was going out to look for clues.

　　Huai Yi had a similar idea. He didn't want to wait until dark to take action.

　　The rain outside was heavy, and the sky was terribly gloomy. Whether it was psychological or not, the entire hospital was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

　　Back at the nurse station on the 4th floor, Jiang Cheng happened to see Zhao Ru, through the glass, tidying up the white styrofoam lunch box on the table. A bouquet of lilies was placed at the corner of the table.

　　Jiang Cheng walked over and knocked on the glass door of the nurse station.

　　Startled by the sound, Zhao Ru was startled, but when she turned around and saw that it was Jiang Cheng, her eyes lit up.

　　After the door opened, Jiang Cheng walked in without any hesitation. "It smells so good!" he said with a smile.

　　Hearing this, Zhao Ru's face turned slightly red, and she said in a very special voice, "Thank you for the lunch, and... the lilies."

　　The food was ordered by Jiang Cheng from a restaurant near the hospital, and the flowers were also bought at Jiang Cheng's request. The ordering card was given by Chief Qi, who said that they could order whatever they wanted.

　　The restaurant would arrange for someone to deliver it.

　　And just put it on his tab.

　　Jiang Cheng would never be polite with such a person.
