Chapter 1188: Chapter 1187: Caught the Corpse Thief
Every morgue has lights, and inside the freezers, there are bodies and numbered tags, details, and such. Inside the freezers, white mist emanates because of the excessively low temperature inside.
However, when Ma Bing and the two security guards just entered, they unexpectedly found the morgue window open.
The morgue has windows both at the front and back, but they are generally closed, and it’s virtually impossible for them to be open.
Now that Ma Bing and the other two found the back window open, and the two security guards never came out after entering, could it be that they exited through the back window?
...
When Ma Bing and the others found the two security guards acting suspiciously, Ye Qiu had already gotten out of the car. He didn’t drive but instead went around to the back of the hospital.
Sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man who seemed a bit unusual, apparently carrying something on his back.
Ye Qiu knew that this middle-aged man could be the Gu Poison culprit he was trying to catch.
When the other man saw Ye Qiu appear, he was very surprised and immediately tried to run forward.
But there was no way he could run faster than Ye Qiu.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Qiu was behind him, delivering a kick to his chest. The man was sent flying, and the body he was carrying fell to the ground.
"No use running! I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Ye Qiu said coldly.
At this moment, Ye Qiu took out his phone to call Zhao Ruxue.
It was now a great opportunity for Zhao Ruxue to make an achievement.
"Ye Qiu, what’s the matter?"
Zhao Ruxue, who was resting late at night, was suddenly called by Ye Qiu, and she felt puzzled.
"Do you remember the mass poisoning case? I think we’ve caught an accomplice of one of the culprits!"
"Where?"
"On the small road behind the Affiliated Hospital. He came to steal bodies tonight."
"I’ll bring people over immediately."
Upon hearing that they had caught an accomplice of the culprit, Zhao Ruxue was immediately filled with excitement.
Ye Qiu hung up and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man’s eyes were fierce, immediately identifying him as different from an ordinary person.
However, his attempt to cast Gu on Ye Qiu had no effect whatsoever.
Moreover, now the one suffering was the middle-aged man himself.
"You better behave, or you’ll find it worse than death."
From the last time Ye Qiu and Zhao Ruxue watched the surveillance footage, they realized the real culprit was likely an old man.
The fact that this man was just middle-aged meant there was another culprit.
But that culprit hadn’t shown up, so either he ran away or was somewhere else.
The middle-aged man sat on the ground, not getting up again.
Ye Qiu waited there.
About forty minutes later, Zhao Ruxue and her subordinates arrived in a police car. Upon finding Ye Qiu, aside from seeing Ye Qiu, they saw a middle-aged man sitting there, and additionally, a wrapped corpse.
"Ye Qiu, is it him?"
"It is him."
Ye Qiu answered.
Zhao Ruxue promptly ordered the man to be taken back for police processing.
After all, the mass poisoning case had been investigated for so long without success.
Unexpectedly, it was now Ye Qiu who uncovered it.
At this moment, Ye Qiu’s phone rang; it was a call from Director Zhou.
"Doctor Ye, something happened to our hospital’s morgue security guards. Could you come and see if you can save them?"
Ma Bing and the two security guards pulled out all the freezers inside the morgue and soon discovered Xiao Liu and Xiao Li.
But Xiao Liu and Xiao Li seemed already in a faint state, and after being rescued from the morgue, were immediately sent to the emergency room.
The doctors in the emergency room were at their wits’ end, so Director Zhou had no choice but to call Ye Qiu, hoping he could help.
"Wait a moment and make sure to bring him back to the police station—I have questions for him later."
Ye Qiu said.
Zhao Ruxue hurriedly followed Ye Qiu back to the Affiliated Hospital.
At this time, Ma Bing and the two security guards were outside the emergency room.
Earlier, when they entered and didn’t see those two through the back window, they suspected they might be in the freezers.
Sure enough, upon opening the freezers to check, they found them inside, looking as if they had already frozen stiff.
After sending them to the emergency room, the emergency doctors didn’t know how to treat their condition.
Upon Ye Qiu’s arrival, he pushed open the emergency room door, went inside, and saw the two lying on the bed.
Ye Qiu first checked whether they were still breathing.
If there was no Qi, he definitely couldn’t save them.
By checking their pulse, Ye Qiu determined that the two were still alive, but if not treated in time, their lives would be in danger.
"You all step out. I can save them."
Hearing Ye Qiu say this, the emergency doctors and nurses were thrilled.
Once they were outside and the door to the emergency room was closed, Ye Qiu stood there, first assessing their condition, discovering they had been afflicted by Gu and were unconscious, then stuffed into the freezer.
In the freezer’s low temperature, their body temperature plummeted drastically.
It was like an ordinary person suddenly caught in cold weather in the wilderness, unable to withstand the temperatures, leading to a sharp drop in body temperature.
Now, Ye Qiu first slowly brought their body temperature back to normal before treating the Gu Poison in their bodies.
From the Gu Poison in them, Ye Qiu learned that they had been cast with Witch Gu by the middle-aged man.
Absorbing the Witch Gu poison, Ye Qiu emerged from the emergency room and said, "They are fine now and will wake up by morning."
Hearing Ye Qiu’s assurance, Ma Bing and the other two security guards finally relaxed.
But from start to finish, they couldn’t comprehend what had happened.
"The corpse from your morgue was stolen; it’s outside. Go retrieve it!"
Ye Qiu said.
He guessed that the middle-aged man originally aimed to steal Xia Jing’s corpse, but not finding it, accidentally took another instead.
Unexpectedly, shortly after leaving, he was spotted and chased down by Ye Qiu.
Ma Bing and the others were astonished, never expecting someone to steal a corpse, especially under such tight security.
Following Ye Qiu to the small road outside, they indeed found a wrapped corpse there.
Ma Bing dared not touch; the other two security guards moved it back instead.
Yet, regardless, they all felt a deep sense of foreboding.
At this time, Ye Qiu and Zhao Ruxue left the Affiliated Hospital and got into his Range Rover. Ye Qiu said, "I need to interrogate that middle-aged man first."
