Extra 14 [Late Night, Abandoned Hospital - I Am a Star Detective] (Mission Failed -)
Bai Muchuan was searching on the fifth floor when the bell rang.
He arrived at the dean's office first - the light of the camping lamp exposed in the dean's office dispelled the fear in his heart.
Bai Muchuan extinguished the flashlight.
Cheng Ling, Dr. Liao and Mao Baojie arrived at the dean's office one after another.
Bai Muchuan noticed that the three people were holding something in their hands, and they obviously made their own discoveries.
Bai Muchuan looked behind them and asked, "Huh? Why is Shi Yaoji so slow? He hasn't come up yet? Have you seen him?"
Cheng Ling, Dr. Liao and Mao Baojie all shook their heads.
Bai Muchuan took a few steps towards the door, wanting to take a look in the corridor.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a person standing in the [Plastic Surgery Planning Room] opposite the dean's office.
The man was standing deep in the room opposite, it was dark and he couldn't see clearly.
"Shi Potion?" Bai Muchuan shouted, then turned on the flashlight in his hand and shined it.
The program team thoughtfully switched the camera to Bai Muchuan's perspective.
——The snow-white light shines on that person.
It has a plastic black wig tangled with cobwebs and dust, a face as delicate as a Barbie doll, and is wearing a tattered dress whose original appearance cannot be seen.
It's the mannequin that was sitting on the ground before.
Someone moved the model and adjusted it to a standing position - at this moment, the mannequin was in a weird posture with its arms spread out.
——After the bell rang, Bai Muchuan returned to the dean's office without looking into this room.
Moreover, although the model is facing the door, it is placed indoors some distance away from the door. Unless you specifically shine it in, you will not notice it at all.
Only when you walk out of the dean's office will you discover this "surprise".
Bai Muchuan and the mannequin stared at each other for at least three seconds before letting out a scream that could be described as tragic.
"ah--"
The cry startled the other three guests in the room, as well as the audience in front of the screen.
The program team cooperated very well by switching the camera from the faces of the three guests to Bai Muchuan's perspective.
(I originally wanted to post a picture, but then I thought it was too silly, so I forgot about it.)
[I was scolding Bai Muchuan and making a fuss just now. Now, I can only say that Bai Muchuan did not faint, which is really rare——]
[This posture is too weird! It’s like being alive...]
[Do you remember the note Bai Muchuan found in the mannequin's hand? "I will come back to life when you die."]
[So...is this really a supernatural copy? 】
[Program team, be a human being! 】
【Fuck! So fucking scary! I will never be able to look directly at a plastic model dummy again! 】
The other three guests were so frightened by Bai Muchuan that they walked to him after a while and followed his line of sight and looked out——
Even though they were mentally prepared, the other three were shocked.
"Who released this?" Cheng Ling covered her chest with an unsightly expression on her face, "Isn't it too scary?"
"Detective Bai, didn't you see this model when you checked the house before?" Cheng Ling asked.
"I saw it-" Bai Muchuan's face didn't look good.
"Then why are you so shocked?" Cheng Ling asked again.
Bai Muchuan explained dryly: "The model was sitting in the corner of the room before. Who knows, it will stand there... Moreover, I found a note in the model's hand, which said: I will be with you When you die, come alive.”
Mao Baojie was also frightened, her face turned pale, she paused for a while, and then hesitantly said, "Is Shi Yaoji playing a prank?"
Dr. Liao didn't dare to look at the dummy. He swallowed and asked, "Shi Yayao? Why did he do this?"
Mao Baojie said: "He must be afraid that we will find gold! He wants to keep it all to himself! Or, he is actually the person who killed the old dean. He is afraid that we will find evidence that he is a sinner, so he deliberately scares us like this, hoping to scare us away... …”
Dr. Liao nodded: "I think your analysis makes sense."
[The eldest sister is right - Dr. Liao and Mao Baojie are indeed very close - look, the two of them just chatted, singing and singing! 】
[The program crew did not say that the criminal committed the crime alone - so, could it be that Mao Baojie and Dr. Liao jointly committed the crime? 】
[Five people, two of them are prisoners? The program team’s previous programs all featured only one prisoner. 】
[I also think the two of them are very suspicious—the two of them have been blaming Shi Yaoji—]
[Even the eldest sister was shocked...it's so rare. 】
[Because that model is so scary - it triggered my uncanny valley effect! 】
Bai Muchuan took several deep breaths before he finally swallowed back the fear that was so frightening that he was in his throat. He said with a pale face: "...Maybe it's not Shi Yao... Let's go over and have a look, maybe we can find some useful clues."
He was alone, and he really didn't have the guts to get close to the model that seemed to be alive.
So, the four people walked over together.
Bai Muchuan shined a flashlight into the room.
The room remained as it had been when he had inspected it.
Only the model has been moved.
Shi Yao was nowhere to be seen.
Dr. Liao looked at Bai Muchuan, "Detective Bai, what should we do next? Do you want to share the evidence we found?"
Bai Muchuan glanced at Cheng Ling subconsciously.
Cheng Ling was also looking at him with questioning eyes.
Bai Muchuan reminded himself: I am a detective, I am a detective, I am a detective. I have to make the decision.
Bai Muchuan swallowed his saliva and suggested unconfidently: "Let's find someone first. It's not too late to discuss the clues later. What do you think?"
The three of them nodded.
Bai Muchuan continued: "Then I suggest that we split up, but don't act alone. It's better to work in pairs, which is safer."
"Listen to Detective Bai."
--But how to group them? Bai Muchuan bit his lip.
He personally definitely wants to be in a group with Cheng Ling. Since he has the power, let's suggest it this way.
If it doesn't work, let's talk about it later.
So, he tentatively said the grouping method: "Well, Dr. Liao and Mao Baojie are in one group, and I am in one group with Dr. Cheng, how about it?"
Dr. Liao and Mao Baojie said in unison: "No objection."
"Then let's group them like this..." Bai Muchuan said happily.
"Wait," Cheng Ling suddenly interrupted him, "--I have an objection. I can't be in a group with Detective Bai."
"Why?" Bai Muchuan asked bluntly.
"Because they may be accomplices, I don't feel comfortable with them teaming up." Cheng Ling said bluntly.
Doctor Liao and Mao Baojie cast angry glances at Cheng Ling at the same time.
Bai Muchuan breathed a sigh of relief, he thought he was disliked by the big sister.
The big sister must have her reasons for saying so. So Bai Muchuan nodded, "How about this, Doctor Cheng and Doctor Liao are in one group, and I am in one group with Mao Baojie, how about that?"
Cheng Ling shook her head again.
"Doctor Liao has a criminal record. I am so young and beautiful. If Doctor Liao has evil intentions, I, a weak woman, will not be able to protect myself."
Doctor Liao's face became very ferocious, and he pointed at Cheng Ling's nose: "You, you——"
Bai Muchuan pressed down Doctor Liao's finger, "Doctor Liao, please be respectful and don't point at people. That's very rude... How about this, Doctor Liao and I check the first to third floors, and Doctor Cheng and Mao Baojie check the fourth to sixth floors?"
"Okay," Cheng Ling nodded, "In addition, I suggest that you two search from the first floor up, and we search from the sixth floor down, so that we can meet at the stairs on the third and fourth floors."
"Okay," Bai Muchuan nodded, "Doctor Liao, let's go."
Doctor Liao muttered: "Why do you still ask for our opinions? Can't you just give orders directly?"
Bai Muchuan didn't want to stay in this room with human models for a moment, so he pretended not to hear Doctor Liao's complaints.
The program group's broadcast sounded in the abandoned hospital: "Looking for Shi Yaoji's whereabouts, countdown 30 minutes, start--"
"In the first 15 minutes, we will follow the footsteps of Dr. Cheng and Mao Baojie."
"In the last 15 minutes, we will follow the footsteps of Detective Bai and Dr. Liao."
[Fuck! The program group is giving the suspects time to commit crimes...]
[So, who is the criminal? ]
[Everyone is possible! Even the missing Shi Yaoji is a possibility. After all, he is the son of the hospital director and must know the secrets of the hospital-maybe he is hiding in a room, waiting for an opportunity to commit a crime. ]
The camera is on Cheng Ling and Mao Baojie.
The two of them took flashlights and started looking from the room next to the director.
Cheng Ling said to Mao Baojie as if chatting with her family: "Sister Mao, where did you get a job after the hospital closed?"
Mao Baojie sneered: "What's the difference... I later went to a housekeeping company and worked as a part-time worker."
In the "I'm a Star Detective" program, each character has a character biography. When they participated in the program, they received their personal resumes and would not take the initiative to explain their identities, but if the other party asked, they would take the initiative to answer.
"Has Sister Mao always been single?" Cheng Ling asked.
Mao Baojie looked at Cheng Ling and said, "Yes. Because I haven't found a suitable person to marry."
Cheng Ling nodded: "Marriage is a big deal, you can't just settle for it. If you meet the wrong person, your whole life will be ruined."
Mao Baojie nodded. "Yes."
The two stopped talking and continued to check the rooms one by one.
This building has seventy or eighty rooms, and many of the rooms have suites inside the doors, which are very difficult to find.
"Shi Yaoji - are you there?"
"Shi Yaoji -"
The two shouted from time to time.
But there was no response.
After searching the sixth floor, no trace of Shi Yaoji was found. The two walked down the stairs to the fifth floor.
Mao Baojie broke the silence: "After the director disappeared, the young lady had a bad life, right? I just heard you say that your mother and you are paying off the debt together, what about your father?"
Cheng Ling sneered: "My father? After hearing about the accident, he left without a care in the world, and took away most of the family property. Only my mother and I are left to depend on each other-"
"It's really not easy-" Mao Baojie said, "But you finally made it..."
Cheng Ling sighed sadly: "Yes... I finally made it. So, I can do what I want to do."
After looking for a few more rooms, Cheng Ling suggested: "This flashlight has a strong light, but it consumes a lot of power. It will be troublesome if the power runs out. How about this, let's take turns to use the flashlight?"
"Okay," Mao Baojie nodded in agreement.
Cheng Ling turned off the flashlight.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly.
The program group's broadcast prompt: "Fifteen minutes are up-"
The camera was given to Bai Muchuan and Dr. Liao.
Bai Muchuan and Dr. Liao have searched the first floor and found nothing. They are now searching the room on the second floor.
——They found the flashlight that Shi Yaojie lost in the cleaning room, and a yellow kraft paper bag next to the flashlight.
There are a bunch of scattered documents in the bag.
The top document reads: "Dissolution of Engagement".
"Today, I am dissolving my engagement with Mao XX. Mao XX should return Mr. Liu XX's gift of 500,000 yuan..."
There is a letter under the document.
The letter paper is very old.
Bai Muchuan reads out loud with the light of Dr. Liao's flashlight:
"Miss Mao, I really want to marry you. I didn't expect you to intervene in someone else's marriage, and you are a despicable and shameful mistress... Have you considered my feelings?"
"The other party's family is also broken because of your stupidity... When you see the face of that little girl, can you live with your conscience?"
Bai Muchuan stops reading the letter.
He looked up at Doctor Liao with his mouth open, and asked, "I remember Shi Yaoji said that Mao Baojie was inexplicably rejected by a rich man because she couldn't pay the betrothal gift... May I ask why she was rejected?"
Doctor Liao was silent for a moment, "Because Mao Baojie intervened in someone else's marriage--"
Bai Muchuan asked again, "Is the person Mao Baojie cheated with Dr. Cheng's father?"
"Yes." Doctor Liao replied.
Bai Muchuan was shocked.
He quickly looked at the file below.
The next few pictures were all photos. The face of the woman in the photo was slashed with a knife, which was very scary. Someone wrote in red pen: [Go to hell! Go to hell! I was originally more beautiful than you! ]
Bai Muchuan quickly took out the photo he found on the fifth floor from his notebook and compared it with the three words [Ugly] written on the photo.
The handwriting on the two photos was the same!
Bai Muchuan had a guess in his mind and searched in the cleaning room with a flashlight--
Found it!
He found Mao Baojie's work notes on the table, such as "When did you use 84 disinfectant to clean what place", "Request for renewal of damaged mops", etc.
Bai Muchuan's focus was not on the content of the notes, but on the handwriting——
——Sure enough, Mao Baojie's work notes and the handwriting in the photo were the same.
"Doctor Liao... Is the woman in the photo the daughter of the dean and the mother of Doctor Cheng?" Bai Muchuan asked.
Doctor Liao nodded, "Yes."
"So, Mao Baojie deliberately intervened in Dr. Cheng's family because she was jealous of Dr. Cheng's mother--"
Dr. Liao shook his head: "I don't know about that."
"... Mao Baojie knew that Shi Yaoji would check the cleaning room, and her secret could not be hidden. So, she quietly went upstairs and took Shi Yaoji away by some unknown means--"
A clear line gradually became clear in Bai Muchuan's mind, and he quickly reasoned,
"But Dr. Cheng's parents did not divorce--Mao Baojie was even more angry, so she killed the old dean and hid the gold..."
"Dr. Cheng's mother lived a miserable life and finally died of overwork."
"From the result--Mao Baojie, succeeded!"
The next moment, Bai Muchuan ran away.
Doctor Liao was stunned and shouted, "Where are you going?"
Bai Muchuan was deeply immersed in the play. His mind was full of the danger of the big sister at this moment. He shouted, "Doctor Cheng is in danger!"
Bai Muchuan ran wildly on the stairs and shouted upstairs, "Doctor Cheng - be careful of Mao Baojie! She is a criminal!"
Doctor Liao ran behind him: "Slow down - Ouch!"
Because the ground was full of garbage, it was easy to trip.
Doctor Liao's physical fitness was not good, and he was not as worried about Cheng Ling as Bai Muchuan, so he ran very slowly.
Bai Muchuan ran to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor was quiet without any sound.
"Doctor Cheng -" Bai Muchuan shouted.
No one responded.
He turned off the flashlight, and it immediately became pitch dark here.
No room was shining with the light of the flashlight.
Bai Muchuan turned on the flashlight again and continued to go upstairs.
-Fifth floor.
Same silence. And there was no flashlight light.
There was the sound of Dr. Liao panting as he climbed the stairs downstairs. Bai Muchuan ignored him and climbed the stairs again.
Sixth floor.
The camping light in the dean's office went out at some point.
Bai Muchuan shone the flashlight over there - there was a person standing in the corridor outside the dean's office -
To be exact, it was not a person, but the female mannequin.
It faced Bai Muchuan with its arms open -
Bai Muchuan restrained his desire to scream, endured the fear, and walked towards the dean's office.
"Doctor Cheng - Mao Baojie?" Bai Muchuan looked past the mannequin into the dean's office -
There was nothing.
Cheng Ling was not in the room.
Mao Baojie was not in the room either.
Bai Muchuan walked into the room and turned on the camping light switch on the table, and the light came on.
He stood in the dean's office, facing the door, glancing at the mannequin from time to time, holding his chin with one hand, frowning and thinking hard.
Barrage.
[Where is my big sister? ? ? Could it be that she was really killed by Mao Baojie? 】
[Is Mao Baojie the real boss behind the scenes? ]
[Human nature is too twisted! ]
[Bai Muchuan's concern for the big sister is genuine--】
Bai Muchuan suddenly put down his hand supporting his chin and listened outside the dean's office for a while.
He said to himself: "Why is Dr. Liao silent?"
[…Fuck! Isn’t this the most classic horror movie scene? Break them one by one! ]
[How did the criminal do it? ]
The live broadcast room was shot from the camera above the door of the dean’s office, and the audience could see the entire interior of the dean’s office.
Including the windows.
The glass on the window had long disappeared, leaving only the empty window frame——
[Ahhh… There is someone outside the window! ]
[What, don’t scare me! I don’t dare to look! ]
[Really, look—half of a head is exposed outside the window! Bai Muchuan, look back! ]
[Program crew—(roaring at the top of his lungs), I’m going to fight you! ]
When Bai Muchuan heard the sound coming from the window, he just wanted to turn around, but it was too late.
He only felt a hard object hit the back of his head, and then someone said behind him: "Bang - Detective Bai, you are dead. The mission failed. You are all wiped out -"
(The mystery will be revealed in the next chapter. I tried my best. Sorry for the long wait.)
