Chapter 0002 – He Commits Suicide (1 / 2)

“Mr. Cheng Yu was even able to hire his own detective!”

“Sister Qing, do you think he could be some incognito rich kid? Why else would there be so many disputes after the car accident.”

“And the shares, just how big is the company wow, even that private investigator is salivating over it.”

“Curiosity killed the cat.

Haru’s warning interrupted Jiang Xia’s reverie.

“Two nurses have already tended to him before you.

The so-called “private detective” had come to him more than once, each time with a new story, and two months before that he had claimed to be the son-in-law of some infrastructure giant.

Sister Qing handed Cheng Yu’s information to Jiang Xia.

His occupation column, clearly written, a certain personal design studio, Jiang Xia searched online, this studio has been disbanded at the end of last year.

Cheng Yu is nothing more than a failed investor.

No wonder when Jiang Xia tried to drag Sister Qing to meet Ran Yi at that time she had the usual impatience on her face.

“Haru-san do you mean he made all of this up?”

Haru raised her eyebrows helplessly.

“I’ve told my superiors on more than one occasion that I really should have stopped by to check his brain when I reviewed him.”

Hearing Sister Qing’s tirade, Jiang Xia “pfft” laughed out loud, and Sister Qing followed suit.

“Anyway, he’ll be discharged next week, and our hospital will be free.”

Originally this day Jiang Xia clocked out at seven, but another nurse had an emergency and took a leave of absence, so Jiang Xia had to cover her late shift.

The continuous rotation of a day for anyone can not suffer, but in order to keep his internship position, Jiang Xia still endured.

“It’s okay Xiao Jiang, I’m on duty tonight too, if you’re tired you can rest in the duty room for a while.”

Sister Qing took care of her as always. In Jiang Xia’s eyes, she was like a gentle and sensible big sister, and although she was nominally her superior, she always talked as easily as a dear friend.

In return, Jiang Xia took advantage of the gap between shifts at nine o’clock or so to buy two drawers of Xiao Long Bao from Sha Xian Snacks across the road.

As she crossed the street, she suddenly glanced at the neon lights at the intersection and saw a familiar figure, standing diagonally with his pockets in place, tilting his head toward the hospital as if he were gazing at something.

Kind of like this morning’s private investigator, but when she rubbed her eyes to look closer, she realized the figure had disappeared.

An illusion?

Back in the duty room, Jiang Xia didn’t see Sister Qing’s figure, so he temporarily put the small cage** into the thermos box and went to inspect by himself first.

She needs to keep a list of the hospitalized patients, make sure they haven’t left without permission, some of the medical equipment in the ICU is functioning correctly, and the list of family members accompanying them will be detailed, then she will do her rounds once an hour, and stay in the duty room the rest of the time.

This job sounds easy, but in fact it is very torturous to do, not to mention the hourly inspections can not sleep well, the emergency contact phone in the duty room is often ringing all night long, if there is an emergency in the middle of the night, they often need to go to help the patients, and so the toss often sleepless nights.

But unlike other nurses, limited by the environment, Jiang Xia at first went to just an ordinary specialty, after graduation assigned hospital in their village, she could not see.

She would never allow herself to be buried in a poor village like that psychotic mother, living a life of self-loathing and inactivity.

She has no background and no family, she paid her own way to pass the nursing license, and came all the way to Harmony Hospital in F City to get an internship.

Jiang Xia didn’t want to lose the job, so he could only choose to hold his tongue.

Back in the duty room, she was just about to relax and have a bite to eat when she realized that the xiao long bao had disappeared along with the insulated box.

Only she and Sister Qing had the key to the duty room, and Jiang Xia guessed that Sister Qing was too busy to eat dinner.

Haru went off somewhere and didn’t respond to messages.

It was a good thing that she had cached the drama she hadn’t finished in advance, and it was just as well that no one was watching her while Haru was away, so she could be lazy for a while.

The nurse’s duty room was on the second floor of the inpatient department, the furnishings were simple, a wooden table with its back to the door, a single bed against the door, and Jiang Xia lay on the bed and watched the TV series with great interest.

“Quickly confess, quickly confess! Why doesn’t this heroine dare to A up!”

I don’t know how long I’ve been watching, but Jiang Xia was fully focused on the love-hate relationship between the male and female leads in the movie and TV drama.

Vaguely she heard a knock on the door, followed by rustling footsteps.

Jiang Xia thought that it was Haru’s sister who had come back and hurriedly took off her headphones, only to find that there was no one else, only the door facing her was wide open.

“Strange? I should have locked the door before…”

Jiang Xia glanced at the time, the hour hand had already slipped to 12 o’clock, and she let out a long yawn.

In the past, Sister Qing never neglected her duties, why did she disappear for such a long time today?

She tried to call Haru, but it showed that her cell phone had no signal, and all the messages she had sent before had added red exclamation marks.

“What the hell…”

The poor network within the hospital is well known, but it’s a woeful time to drop the ball.

This time Jiang Xia had no rest time at all, and she only had to force herself to go on her rounds.

The hospitalization department was quiet, and looking at the empty corridors, Jiang Xia was a bit furious in his heart.

“Do it early and be done with it.” She barely consoled herself.

She stopped in front of the door of 310, which was still closed, Jiang Xia suddenly wondered how Mr. Cheng Yu inside was now, curiosity drove her to put her hand on the doorknob.

The door seemed to be unlocked.

The light in the hallway suddenly flashed a few times, frightening Jiang Xia to retract his hand and quickly escape back to the duty room.

What am I mulling over?

Jiang Xia put aside those unrealistic fantasies and reported the news to the maintenance staff.

But the helpless reality loomed large; she was hungry and sleepy, but had more than one more round to make in the long night.

After coming back after an hour of strong support, as soon as Jiang Xia leaned against the side of the bed, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

She felt like she just couldn’t hold on any longer.

“One hour, set an alarm for one hour, if Haru makes it back before then…”

In the midst of her exhaustion, Jiang Xia had a very strange dream; she dreamed that she was standing in the middle of a white blanket, and the dazzling and dazzling light engulfed her.

Jiang Xia was stung so hard that she couldn’t open her eyes, and she reached out to feel around carelessly, touching the cold glass.

In a flash, the light dimmed a bit and she slowly opened her eyes.

It wasn’t glass, but a mirror, countless mirrors surrounded her like a maze, Jiang Xia walked forward carefully, and with every step, thousands of her moved in the same frequency.

“Where…where is this?”

No one answered, she only heard the echo of her own voice.

Jiang Xia inadvertently bumped into the mirror in front of him.

“Splat~” a crack appeared on the mirror, and the mirrors around it cracked as well, the crisp shattering sound echoing in Jiang Xia’s ears.

And she in the mirror, also with the shattered face became distorted, obviously is the reflection in the mirror, Jiang Xia but it seems to be countless pairs of unfamiliar eyes watching.

The vortex of shattered, collapsed, and countless twisted faces gradually pressed down on Jiang Xia, cramming her into a narrow enclosure, Jiang Xia felt unable to breathe, and the spreading fear caused her to scream uncontrollably.

“Get outta here! You guys…stay away…”

Accompanied by her sharp popping sound, those faces disappeared in a flash, and the world in Jiang Xia’s eyes reverted to darkness as a pleasant ringing sound came.

[The dark night sky hangs low, the bright stars follow]

So it was a nightmare….

Jiang Xia turned off the alarm and opened his cell phone, it was already two o’clock in the morning, unbiasedly catching the next tour.

“What are you afraid of, turn around and come back, and come back to see the heroine confess!”

Just as Jiang Xia gathered her courage and was ready to go, she suddenly realized that on the table at the door of the duty room, there was an extra crumpled note.

“Xiao Jiang, I have to go to the emergency department, I may not be able to come back for a while, so I’m counting on you tonight.

Sure enough, Jiang Xia could see the rush of people in the brightly lit emergency department through the windows of the corridor.

Looks like another unfortunate incident.

The emergency room was working 24 hours a day, but the doctors and nurses were not iron men, and understaffing occurred from time to time, and Jiang Xia guessed that Sister Qing had been pulled to help.

However, a sentence on the back of the note caught Jiang Xia’s attention.

[Remember, protect yourself from anything outside of this.]

The handwriting was undoubtedly still Sister Qing’s, but it was not like Sister Qing’s style to have modified and erased it many times.

And the phrase protect yourself…does it mean anything else?

The lights in the corridor seemed to be dimmer than usual. While going up to the third floor from the second floor, Jiang Xia suddenly realized that the window at the corner of the hallway was open.
