Postmortem Appointment

C30



Then my phone rang again, and I was so startled that I almost dropped it on the floor again, my heart pounding like it was going to pop out of my chest. I swallowed and tried to calm down, but my mind was still in a mess.

I looked down and saw that the person on the phone was actually the Police Officer Liu. I was speechless as I held the phone and looked at the number on it, feeling depressed.

"Why aren't you answering the phone? Who's calling?" Bai Hua saw that after half a day, my phone still rang, but I did not pick up.

Under Bai Hua's urging, I finally got through to the phone, but before I could even open my mouth, I heard the cold voice of the Police Officer Liu from inside: "Mr. Zhang, please make a trip to the police station, we suspect that you have stolen Zhang Qian's corpse in the morgue. If you are not able to reach there within an hour, I will definitely send someone to invite you!"

Hearing his words, I was stunned, but then I remembered the last time I saw Zhang Qian at the morgue, and every time I thought about Zhang Qian's sinister face, my heart shivered.

What am I going to do with his body?

If I don't go, he will definitely assume that I stole the corpse and even forcefully brought me back to the police station. If that's the case, then I might as well go by myself, at least I can preserve my face.

"Alright, I'll be there in half an hour!" I gave him a perfunctory answer, then quickly hung up.

Looking at the time, it was almost ten in the evening. Since there were still police working at this time of the night, I should have praised their professionalism, but it didn't seem like they were using the right place.

I sighed, then said apologetically to Bai Hua: "I'm sorry, I can't go to your house anymore."

"I heard it. We're on our way to the police station now. I'll go with you!"

Bai Hua looked forward, her face still had traces of tears that had not been dried, and her eyes were slightly red, looking haggard.

I really couldn't bear to trouble her again. Just as I wanted to reject her offer, I heard Bai Hua angrily say: "Don't count on me going home and sleeping, have you forgotten what happened at the morgue last time? Zhang Qian almost killed you! "Who knows what kind of evildoer you will meet this time, you should just stay here in silence. If I let you go alone, I won't be able to rest at ease even if I go home and sleep!"

I was left speechless by her words, so I could only sit in the front seat and continue looking outside, bored out of my mind. However, at this time, an idea suddenly flashed through my mind, so I hurriedly asked: "After the last time Bai Hua died, how did I return home? How come I don't remember anything?!"

"Ah Xue picked you up and brought you back. Although I know that there's something on your mind, there's always a need for you to have a good chat. After all, our relationship was so good before, and we've been lovers for so long."

Bai Hua pondered for a moment, then quickly said, and turned to the left while talking, focusing on driving.

After hearing it, I also felt that it made some sense. Maybe the Ah Xue who brought me back was a ghost in the first place, so Bai Hua didn't see through it.

I decided not to dwell on this matter any longer and settled down in the car, staring blankly at the quickly retreating street lights. I dozed off a little wearily as I walked, and suddenly realized that there were fewer and fewer cars on the road. I thought that an evil ghost would jump out from somewhere and grind my teeth as I charged over to pay with my life.

"Bai Hua, let's change the route. This place is too quiet, why isn't there even a single car?"

I was a little nervous, so I hastily urged her, and kept glancing towards the outside from time to time.

The night was as dark as ink, enveloping all nearby objects in darkness and tranquility. Only the two white sedans that Bai Hua was driving were racing along the road, as if they were completely out of place, as if they were not in the same world.

"I think you must be crazy. It's almost 11 P.M. and the peak hour is over. This road is backstreet again. It's still winter now, so it's normal for there to be little traffic on the road!"

Bai Hua laughed a few times, and then said that as if she was popping beans. Looking at her smiling face, she didn't look as weak and weak as Lin Daiyu previously, but instead had a bit of a heroic spirit between her brows.

"Are you alright, Bai Hua?" Maybe Bai Hua was just trying to hide it just now. She only looked cheerful on the outside, but was actually very sensitive inside, I suddenly realised that I did not know too much about her, I even felt that she was a little unfamiliar.

"It's nothing. Actually, I was very happy when I heard it. I am very lonely when I laugh, because I often point to an empty wall crying and making a ruckus, or to an empty courtyard that has been empty for a long time, insisting that there is someone in the yard, which makes my parents think that I am mentally ill! "

Seeing my nervous expression, Bai Hua laughed and said. Her eyes slightly squinted and two dimples appeared on her cheeks, adding to the beauty and gentleness of a young woman.

I was startled for a moment, my mind suddenly flashed with the image of the Ah Xue, thus I hastily turned my head and moved the realisation to the outside of the window. It was still pitch black outside, but I didn't know if Bai Hua's words were working, but I felt that the surroundings weren't as strange as before.

Thus, I smiled and said, "Actually, I am quite envious of those with Yin Yang Eyes. That way, I can differentiate between the people around me and having a problem and not dying like I am now. To be honest, I still don't know if Ah Xue is still human!"

After Bai Hua heard what I had to say, she sighed lightly and slowed down her pace, as if she could extend the time she had left for the police station.

She looked forward and absent-mindedly picked up my phone. "Give her a call and see if she answers it. I'll also listen. If there's really something wrong with her, I'll definitely be able to tell!"

Bai Hua looked at me very seriously, then quickly turned her head to look out the window. Doubtful, I picked up my cell phone and took out the Ah Xue's cell phone number.

Two words were clearly displayed on it – 'Wife'.

These two words stung my eyes a lot. When I thought about how she betrayed me, my heart felt like it had been stuffed with a huge rock. I suppressed my emotions and took a deep breath.

Thus, I stuffed my phone back into my pocket and reluctantly pulled out a smile. "It's better not to call. After I calm down, I'll go and pack my things. I'll give her the house. After all, she's been with me for so long!"

My voice trailed off, the last few words barely audible even to me.
