Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 468 Speculation
"And then?" Jiang Cheng asked softly.
"Later, after Director Qi learned that I was awake, he came to see me and asked me what was wrong." Zhao Ru's throat rolled involuntarily as she looked at Jiang Cheng.
"You didn't tell him about these things, did you?"
Zhao Ru nodded and said in a low voice, "I told him I accidentally fell."
"Maybe... maybe I'm just too nervous." She seemed to think it was too abrupt to talk about these things with Jiang Cheng, and that he wouldn't really believe such bizarre things.
Zhao Ru found an excuse for herself.
Jiang Cheng didn't dwell on this issue, but changed the subject, "The daily medicine is..."
"The medicine is all picked up from the pharmacy." Zhao Ru introduced, "Director Qi prepares the medicine in advance and puts it in the pharmacy for me to pick up."
"Director Qi prepares the medicine?" Jiang Cheng became interested.
"Yes." Zhao Ru said softly, "I only found out about this by chance."
It was clear that Zhao Ru had doubts about the woman in the ward, and the relationship between the woman and Director Qi.
But compared to the doubts, work was more important.
As an intern, all she wanted now was to stay and work in the hospital.
And all of this was in the hands of Director Qi.
So she didn't dare to question Director Qi, let alone offend him.
But through what Zhao Ru said, Jiang Cheng gradually sorted out a train of thought. Although it wasn't very clear, he could say that he had a general direction.
First of all, there was this Director Qi.
He and the patient in room 906, who was also a former nurse at the hospital, clearly knew each other.
And not only knew each other.
The relationship between the two should be very bad, or this nurse had some kind of handle on Director Qi.
Director Qi didn't want her to wake up.
Moreover, judging from various clues, Jiang Cheng reconstructed the incident that Zhao Ru had experienced.
Ten years ago, because of something, the nurse was stimulated and went crazy.
At least she should have been really crazy at the time.
And Director Qi was also involved in this matter.
But not long ago, this nurse actually woke up from a vegetative state.
Jiang Cheng thought that this might be related to the appearance of the ghost.
But after Director Qi discovered that the nurse was showing signs of waking up, he became very nervous, so he began to purposefully inject her with sedatives.
But he didn't know why, he didn't do it himself, but found Zhao Ru and asked her to give the woman the injections.
This was why Director Qi was so nervous when Zhao Ru gave the injections for the first few times.
He was worried that the woman would suddenly wake up and say something that couldn't be known by others.
But after seeing that the woman still didn't show any signs of abnormality, he was relieved, and later only instructed Zhao Ru to come alone.
But unexpectedly, one day Zhao Ru accidentally broke the medicine, and because she was afraid of punishment and losing her job, she didn't dare to tell Director Qi.
As a result, the sedative effect faded, and the woman on the hospital bed, stimulated by the thunder, actually woke up when Zhao Ru went to give the injection the next day.
Then she said to Zhao Ru, "It... is back."
Jiang Cheng thought that "it" should refer to the ghost.
Looking at the girl beside him, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she told Director Qi that she had heard what the woman said.
Jiang Cheng even had a guess.
She might die.
This nurse must know something, but she's currently incoherent.
Jiang Cheng was also thinking about whether to take advantage of the fact that no one was around to go and see her, maybe he could get some information, or wait for her to come again at night.
But then, he rejected this immature idea in his mind.
If, as Zhao Ru said, she touched a hand that didn't belong to either of them.
And Jiang Cheng noticed her wording.
She said that the hand was very cold, very cold, as if it had been frozen in ice.
If she wasn't scared out of her mind and talking nonsense, then this hand should be the ghost's.
At that time, the ghost was in that room.
Right next to Zhao Ru!
If he rashly contacted the woman on the hospital bed, Jiang Cheng was worried about attracting the ghost out.
As it stood, this ghost was hostile to them, after all, Director Qi had entrusted them to come, and their purpose was to eliminate this ghost.
Afterwards, during the chat, Jiang Cheng asked about the abandoned corridor on the 6th floor.
But Zhao Ru, who had just arrived, knew nothing about these things. However, she said that a head nurse who had taken care of her once warned her not to wander around on the 6th floor if she had nothing to do.
She asked why, but the other party didn't seem to know very well either.
The answer was also vague, probably just hearing it from the seniors in the hospital.
"But she mentioned one thing." Raising her head, Zhao Ru looked at Jiang Cheng with a strange look, and said, "She said that one morning when she came to work, she accidentally passed by the 6th floor and found a lot of black things on the ground."
"When the wind blew, it floated everywhere."
"She was curious, so she went over to take a look and found that they were ashes left after burning." Speaking of this, Zhao Ru paused, and suddenly lowered her voice, "The day before, it was the seventh month."
The seventh month.
Also called the Zhongyuan Festival.
There is also a more well-known name - the Ghost Festival.
"Someone burned paper money in the corridor on the 6th floor?" Jiang Cheng frowned.
"Yes." Zhao Ru nodded unnaturally, and then continued, "Moreover, everyone generally said that every time they passed by the 6th floor, they felt a gloomy feeling."
"I never go there alone." Zhao Ru said, "Even if I go, I go around from your ward, not through that corridor."
"You should also try not to go there." Zhao Ru looked at Jiang Cheng's face and said with concern, "Why don't you talk to Director Qi and ask him to change your room."
"Don't look at how big this hospital is, I only found out after I came here that the business situation here is actually very average, and there are many empty rooms."
