Chapter 0003 – The Inescapable Reincarnation (1 / 2)

Outside the emergency room door, Jiang Xia waited for the news of Cheng Yu’s unsuccessful resuscitation and death before waiting for Sister Qing.

No matter how much trouble he had caused in his lifetime, Cheng Yu was after all a victim and a patient under her care, so a vivid life was fading before her eyes.

“I could have saved him…” she said with remorse that she had nowhere to voice.

However, Jiang Xia didn’t even have time to grieve as two police officers barged straight into the emergency room.

“Are you Jiang Xia who is on duty in the hospitalization department tonight?”

“Yes…” said Enya, looking at the detective with a blank expression.

Before she could react, her hands were already being held by the police.

“You you you why are you arresting me!”

“I’m Wang Xu from the High-Tech Zone Detachment.”

The lead cop flashed his police license.

“Please come with us.”

A bewildered Jiang Xia didn’t learn from Wang Xu until he was brought to his seat in the interrogation room and sat face to face with him that he was now the number one suspect in Cheng Yu’s murder.

Wang Xu took off his police cap, revealing the top of his thinning head, and his middle-aged, hairy body leaned forward slightly as he began the interrogation.

“Why were you making your rounds alone, unaccompanied, at this late hour? Why did you enter ward 310? What was your relationship with the deceased? Why were your fingerprints left on his body? Why did you happen to be the only one present when he died?”

His gaze was as sharp as a buzzard’s.

Faced with a series of inquiries, Jiang Xia tried his best to defend himself.

She was just the nurse on night duty, and she made her rounds by herself because Sister Qing wasn’t there, and she stayed in the duty room the rest of the time except for rounds. Unintentionally, she entered room 310 and was hard left to chat by Mr. Cheng Yu.

“Who knew he’d jump out the window and kill himself in the blink of an eye.”

Wang Xu turned back and signaled the young female officer behind him to present the results of the police investigation.

1, according to the investigation, the card machine on the first floor of the hospitalization department has Liu Ziqing’s card punching record, and the surveillance video also shows her making rounds, due to the damage of the surveillance at the entrance of the duty room, it is not possible to confirm that Jiang Xia is in the duty room.

2. The doorway of 310 is a monitoring dead end, in addition to Cheng Yu had entered and exited on his own, the monitoring showed that only Jiang Xia had entered the dead end, and at 00:57, Jiang Xia had also briefly stayed at the doorway of ward 310.

3. According to Jiang Xia’s confession, the steamed dumplings in ward 310 were also hers, which we have confirmed with the owner of Sha Xian Snacks. The stomach of the deceased was also tested to show that she had consumed the steamed dumplings around one o’clock.

4. No other person’s fingerprints were collected at the crime scene.

“As for the motive, we learned through the other nurses that you had talked about and poked around Cheng Yu’s personal information more than once within just a week of joining the team, so we have reason to suspect that you killed Cheng Yu out of greed for his property.”

“No…that’s not it.”

“You guys contact Sister Qing, my head nurse Liu Ziqing, she knows the truth of the matter, she knows what I’m like, she knows that I definitely wouldn’t do such a thing, she’ll testify for me…”

Jiang Xia held back his inner panic and tried to hold onto the last straw.

Ten minutes later, the young policewoman returned, only to tell Jiang Xia a bolt from the blue.

Qing refuses to provide any valid information on the grounds that she is in a poor state of mind, she acquiesces to the police’s speculations and expresses her ignorance of everything Jiang Xia has described, she is currently undergoing psychotherapy and refuses to come forward.

The rest of the coworkers had the same attitude as Sister Qing, no one wanted to get into trouble.

Jiang Xia panicked for a moment.

“How… how is this possible? How could this happen? Something must have gone wrong, Sister Qing wouldn’t be such a person, she couldn’t possibly let me be wronged and turn a blind eye. Give me the phone, I want to talk to her personally…”

“You are not authorized to speak to uninvolved persons at this time.” The young policewoman reminded.

“It seems like things are clear.” Wang Xu said as he gathered the transcript report.

“The Murrin Group has charged you with murder, and the rest is in the hands of the judiciary for a formal trial.”

“Why…”

I was wrongly accused, I’m a victim too…

Jiang Xia wanted to argue something more, but Wang Xu on the opposite side had already stood up and placed a delicate and small hourglass in front of her.

“Yeah? Think about it if you feel you’ve been wronged, I’ll give you thirty minutes to calm down.”

After Wang Xu left, the young female officer accompanying him was also urging Jiang Xia to calm down.

“We do this to ensure justice as well…”

Wasted sleep and food, all night long, no one knows how much effort Jiang Xia spent to get to this point today, originally thought that the bitter days come to an end, life will be more and more sweet, but had thought that overnight all the illusionary dreams into nothing.

The cramped room oppressed her like blood-red pupils in a dream, and a tidal wave of suffocation overwhelmed Jiang Xia.

From upholding the ethics of the profession and coming to the rescue, to being a suspect in a wrongful conviction.

Unable to breathe, no one reached out to help, leaving her to drown in the abyss.

No matter how much the policewoman tried to persuade her, she could no longer see any color in her empty eyes, but just murmured repeatedly.

“Somebody help me, somebody help me…”

The cry of helplessness strikes the depths of the soul, and in the lonely valley it turns for a long time.

The raging despair drowned all perceptions and emotions, Jiang Xia wanted to escape from here, she stood up stiffly, but her legs weakened and she fell to the ground.

In a panic, she knocked over the hourglass on the table.

Hourglass shattered on the ground, splashing glass shards wrapped in sea sand burst out, in the light of the reflection is like fringe colorful.

The splashes of color gradually faded into blurred blocks of color, Jiang Xia gradually lost consciousness, only to feel still unable to breathe…

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

Whew–

Jiang Xia jolted awake as she sat up, that feeling of oppression all but disappeared, and her breathing was much smoother.

She turned on her cell phone and was shocked to find the time back at two in the morning.

“Wasn’t I in the interrogation room…”

It was exactly the same as she remembered, the note left by Haru, the window that had been opened by whoever at the corner of the stairs, and the half-hidden door of ward 310.

She went back to before her second tour.

The moment she placed her hand on the door of the room, Jiang Xia remembered Haru’s warning in the note.

“Don’t worry about anything else.

Is she warning me?

Jiang Xia slowly retracted her hand, but if she didn’t care, Cheng Yu was still going to kill herself, and she was a nurse who shouldn’t condone such a thing.

Her cell phone still had no signal, and the landline in the duty room could only dial fixed numbers; she dialed the emergency room, only to hear a cacophony of voices on the other side, with no one responding to her.

If she had remained in the duty room, she would still have been treated as a key suspect.

Right now it’s better to stay away from this place of wrongdoing, the hospitalization floor is interconnected with the other floors, but it’s a hassle to make a trip…

She stood in the locked doorway, staring at the heavy chain locks, transfixed.

According to hospital requirements, this is an emergency fire escape and is not normally locked.

But now, it seemed that someone had deliberately trapped her here.

Jiang Xia couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart.

A few moments later, for some reason, she walked to the door of room 310 again, the door of the room opened, and she could already see the back of Mr. Cheng Yu standing in front of the window.

Did one have to go and listen to the man’s crazy stories?

Jiang Xia swallowed nervously.

The door to the room was slammed heavily shut again, and Mr. Cheng Yu began his questioning once more, with the exact same plot.

Will you do me a favor? Ms. Gang Ha]

Are you hungry? Do you want some steamed dumplings?

[Having come all this way, Ms. Nurse, why don’t you keep me, a dying man, company for a few moments.]
