Chapter 176 Underground morgue

Laohou's real name is Hou Tianshi. It is said that the child's name will be hard. Unfortunately, his life is not hard and he can't see it. It's true. Because he is not educated, Hou Tianshi basically did not have a formal job, but just kept doing odd jobs or helping workers. Until later, this medical school affiliated hospital was built in the town. In urgent need of employees, coupled with his usual honest duty, he finally had the honor to become a handyman here. After a while, few people knew his real name. Instead, he was called Hou Honest or Lao Hou.

Since it is a medical school, naturally has teaching in addition to treating diseases. The college is behind the hospital, and the mortuary of the hospital is naturally built in the basement of the college. The body approved by the family members will be used as a specimen for the college curriculum.

At the beginning, Laohou was not assigned to the morgue on duty, but no one could hold on that position for a long time, especially on night shift. As a result, Laohou was forced to this position and has been working until now.

After so many years of night work, especially staying at the door of the morgue, I will encounter some strange things that can't be explained, such as the sound of tapping in the freezer where the body is stored. I'm afraid people will feel horrible.

In addition to being honest, boldness is also an advantage, but he may not be afraid. Fortunately, there is a Taoist temple in the town, and Lao Hou has known the Taoist priest a long time ago. He also knows more or less about some strange things and some simple countermeasures, so that as long as no one comes to the morgue in the evening shift, he will be at the door. Burn three sticks of incense in your mouth, and this method works in many cases.

And last night was no exception. Except when there were dead people in the hospital at night, I would go to the morgue in the middle of the night. At other times, there was only Lao Hou here.

The so-called basement is the underground floor of the college teaching building behind the main building of the hospital. If the hospital sends the body into the morgue, there are underground elevators and stairs outside the teaching building.

There are two floors underground. The second underground floor is mainly for storing corpses and occasionally open for teaching. Since the underground is for corpses, it can be imagined that the temperature below is not ordinary low, and flowing cold air comes out of the vents.

Fortunately, unlike the often described in the movie, only a dim chandelier shakes slightly in the wind. On the contrary, a fluorescent lamp is installed on the top of the whole basement corridor, and the lighting is relatively sufficient, but the white light emitted by the fluorescent lamp gives the whole corridor a cold and frightening feeling.

After a busy day, the teaching building resumed its silence. At eight o'clock, after Lao Hou and the daytime duty personnel handed over the work, he roughly inspected and returned to the duty room. If the hospital next to him no longer came to "business" at ordinary times, he could say that he would have no work.

But this day, there are still a few bodies in the morgue that have not been stored in the freezer. Later, he still has a task to empty several freezers in the morgue and put them in.

As for why it needs to be later, I'm worried that the family members of these bodies will come here.

At his age, he was on duty, except for sleeping and watching TV, almost every day. He made a cup of tea, turned on the TV, and began to waste time on the sofa until he suddenly wanted to go to the toilet.

On the way back to the duty room from the toilet, you had to pass the morgue room, and when you passed the door, Lao Hou seemed to hear a strange sound, very much like a humming sound.

Lao Hou's whole body suddenly stiffened, and his back was numb from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Although the sound was very weak, and it was only less than a minute, there was no one else in the corridor, let alone any other source of sound, which could only come from the nearby morgue.

His hand involuntarily put on the door handle of the morgue. Suddenly, he felt a chill, and the cold feeling spread all over his body in an instant. He didn't know whether the cold air in the morgue came out of the door or the cold wind blowing from the ventilation in the corridor. In short, the indescribable cold feeling seemed to be from all sides. The eight directions rushed to him. What's more strange is that in the corridor, which was originally illuminated by fluorescent lights, the rolling airflow can be faintly seen not far away, as if the air has become tangible because of the cold and is constantly fluctuating.

Lao Hou couldn't help raising his hand and rubbing his eyes. As a result, the hand on the door handle accidentally pushed gently, and the door of the morgue was suddenly pushed open by him.

Unexpectedly, the spring door, which should have been silent, made a creaking sound, like pushing open an old wooden door. The sound of rubbing and scraping like nibbling bones sounded sour.

"Gulu..." Lao Hou swallowed a mouthful of saliva. There was only one fluorescent lamp in the morgue, which looked a little dim. Except for rows of metal freezer doors on both sides reflecting cold lights, there were two flat cars side by side in the center of the house. Each car was covered with white cloth, and the white cloth sheet was straight and upright. There is an already stiff body on the ground.

Lao Hou exhaled gently, and suddenly, the white breath spewed out from his mouth. He couldn't help but be shocked. The temperature here was a little too low.

He felt some frightened. He returned to press the light switch on the wall, turned on all the fluorescent lights on the roof, and then went to find a regulator to control the temperature in the house.

As soon as he took two steps in, he suddenly found that the upper half of the white cloth on the outermost flat car was lifted for some reason, revealing the shoulders and head of the corpse below.

Laohou couldn't help looking at the head of the body. The deceased was a woman with a very young face. At this time, his beautiful face was already black, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were half-closed, as if he was a little unwilling.

Seeing that face, Lao Hou couldn't help sighing gently. It was normal to die at such a young age and be unwilling, so he couldn't close it completely.

He walked slowly with some emotion. First, he took a look at the report hanging by the bedside of the body and learned that the body was sent in the morning. The cause of death was a car accident. The driver of the vehicle who caused the accident hit someone and drove away. He should still need to investigate, hoping to find the murderer.

At this time, Lao Hou had subconsciously attributed the sound he had just heard as a hallucination, and the fear in his heart was being replaced by the gradual sympathy. He unconsciously walked to the head of the body and prepared to cover her with a white cloth.

But at the moment when his hand grabbed the opened white single corner, the flat hand on one side of the body suddenly moved and put it on the old marquis's arm like a twitch...
