/ Midnight Bookstore Chapter 398 – The Mid–Autumn Festival, the Gate of Hell opens!
“Breaking out of prison isn't that difficult, but the problem is that after this, the old Daoist's identity was completely tarnished. He's a living person, not a ghost errand boy. It's not appropriate for such an old man to live a life of hiding all day, is it?”
As Lawyer An spoke, he took a large sip of coffee from his huge thermos cup.
At first, he seemed to feel that the taste of the coffee had changed. However, after drinking too much, he felt that it had a different flavor and became addicted to it.
This was really hard on Bai Yingying,
one had to know that it was not easy to buy expired coffee at this moment.
“However, it will be very difficult to overturn the case. Most importantly, the culprit that we think is dead is the real cause. The jade pendant is also broken. Of course, even if the jade pendant is here, it won't be of much use.”
Zhang Yanfeng scratched his hair. He was a professional in this area.
To put it bluntly, with his status, it wouldn't be very difficult to overturn an ordinary case. However, this case involved more than ten lives. It would be very difficult for external forces to intervene.
“Then let's prepare to break into the prison. I was wronged anyway. This doesn't count as breaking the law, right?” Zhou Ze said and smiled.
“Unfortunately, in the future, it will be difficult for this old man to look for his big sister openly,” Lawyer An teased.
“If he dares to go again, I'll break his three legs.”
Zhou Ze shrugged,
“He's already in his early 70s. It's time for him to settle down.”
The poor old man who was almost forgotten in the darkroom,
unknowingly,
was deprived of his future sexual life by his boss.
“The date of the trial is the day after tomorrow. Let's do it on that day.” Old Zhang looked at Zhou Ze and Lawyer An.
To be honest…
it was really difficult for him to ask him, the captain of the Criminal Police, to help plan the prison break.
“Alright, Old Zhang, you and Old An discuss another plan. The premise is that no injuries can be caused. We can't have any injuries on our side, and the police shouldn't have any injuries either.”
After discussing this matter…
Zhou Ze put on a coat and stood up.
“You're going to the hospital, right?” Lawyer An asked.
“Yes, I'm going to the hospital for another CT scan.” Zhou Ze pointed at his right arm. “I'm not at ease if I don't take a look at the specific recovery situation.”
In the past, he had suffered quite a lot of superficial injuries. Although he looked miserable, with his skin split open and flesh ripped apart, there were not many intact parts of his body. However, with the mud from the monkey and the astonishing recovery ability that Zhou Ze had every time he opened his unparalleled… the problem was really not that big.
It was just that his right arm had been broken this time. If there were any problems with his recovery, it was likely that there would be sequelae for the rest of his life.
Although Zhou Ze's recovery ability was indeed much stronger than that of an ordinary person, Boss Zhou really did not dare to use one of his arms to play tricks.
“I'll send you there?”
“Forget it, I'll take the bus.”
Zhou Ze walked out of the bookstore and arrived at the bus stop with a cigarette in his mouth.
He could directly take the No. 4 bus from here to the People's Hospital. The pharmacy next to the bookstore could indeed perform some surgeries, but the facilities were definitely not as perfect as a large-scale hospital.
Boss Zhou also couldn't be bothered to go to director Lin's Hospital,
otherwise, it would be as if he deliberately got injured and went to his ex-wife's place to get attention and earn tears.
When he got on the bus, there were many people inside.
A young girl saw that Zhou Ze's right arm was in a cast and offered her seat. Zhou Ze did not argue and said “Thank you” before getting on the bus.
There were many people and cars in this area, and the bus drove very slowly.
At the next stop, an old man got on the bus. The other young girl who was sitting next to Zhou Ze stood up and offered her seat. The two girls held onto the handrail and stood together. They seemed to know each other.
“Hey, look, the boss has sent me a parcel.”
“Ah, really? What parcel? Is it from overseas?”
“No, it's the antiseptic tablets I bought. The Boss has sent me a parcel.”
“Why do you buy that?”
“Shouguang is a flood. I'll buy something for the disaster area. The transportation fee for the address is 12. The transportation fee for Shouguang is zero.”.
“Also, I bought five quilts last night and sent them by express delivery. The owner of that Taobao shop also sent three extra sets, saying that he also wants to contribute to the disaster area.”
“It's quite warm.”
After listening to the conversation between the two girls,
Zhou Ze wanted to ask if the people in the disaster area needed some novels to relieve their fatigue.
There were quite a lot of books that couldn't be sold in his bookstore, so he could send a batch over.
“Ah! Someone fainted!”
The passengers' exclamations came from the back of the bus.
Zhou Ze immediately got up and left his seat.
It was a middle-aged woman who had fainted on the ground. The surrounding passengers consciously gave way to her.
Zhou Ze squeezed through the crowd and squatted down beside the woman. After checking her, he shouted, “Driver, drive directly into the People's Hospital.”
The next stop was the People's Hospital. Even if the bus drove in, it would not take much time. The passengers did not have any objections.
After the bus arrived at the hospital, doctors and nurses came over and used a stretcher to carry the woman out. Zhou Ze did not care anymore. The woman should have had an acute attack. Whether or not she could be saved depended on luck. Fortunately, the rescue time was not delayed.
When his arm was still in a cast, Zhou Ze really did not have much of an impulse to “Save the world”.
Registration,
when he saw the doctor on duty, Zhou Ze directly stated his request and listed his own medical condition. He also listed out the list of examinations that the doctor had requested for him.
The young doctor on duty was stunned,
it was not that he had never seen a patient who thought he was very professional,
but he had never seen such a professional before.
After taking the list, Zhou Ze waved his hand at the doctor and left. He only needed to do some tests on his own and did not need to come back. He could read the reports by himself.
After the CT scan was done, he took the elevator and waited for the elevator door to close.
Zhou Ze heard the two young nurses beside him chatting.
“The woman who was just sent over couldn't be saved. She died.”
“What illness?”
“I don't know. It seems like there's something wrong with her brain. It's a pity. She looks like she's only forty years old.”
Zhou Ze was unmoved when he heard that.
He wasn't a saint, and it was impossible for him to do nothing all day and save the lives of the injured. He didn't feel guilty about the death of that woman. If he was the one leading the treatment, the probability of her being saved would be slightly higher, but who could say for sure.
After a series of examinations, Zhou Ze was quite satisfied with the results. Thanks to his amazing recovery ability, the problem should not be too big. The rest was just recuperation.
Recuperation…
Wasn't he recuperating every day?
The elderly in his 70s and 80s did not have as much experience in recuperation as he did.
After going back and forth in the hospital, he was also a little tired. In fact, it was still a little difficult for him to walk because he had an arm hanging.
Zhou Ze glanced at the elevator and looked at the label on the second floor of the basement,
the corner of his mouth revealed a smile,
okay,
I'll go back to my old place,
I'll go back and take a nap.
He took the elevator to the second floor of the basement and went straight to his old place. He used his fingernails to easily open the lock of the morgue. He paced between the freezers and chose an “Empty room.” After hiding his phone by the side, Zhou Ze laid down inside.
Then, he used his hand to grab the edge of the room. With a pull, the steel frame was pulled in.
Actually, it was still more comfortable to sleep with Yingying,
this was just like how most men knew that it was best to have a wife,
but it still could not stop them from wanting to go outside and taste the wildflowers.
The familiar cold feeling slowly seeped into their bodies,
it was a little direct, but also a little overbearing,
it was a little dry, but also a little painful,
but Zhou Ze was so comfortable that he was trembling,
the narrow space was actually another kind of security encirclement.
He closed his eyes,
just like that, Zhou Ze fell asleep.
When he woke up, Zhou Ze's body moved slightly. His muscles were already stiff, but he quickly recovered.
It was probably because he had the body of a zombie, so he could only rely on the freezer to sleep. He couldn't afford to wait for other ghosts.
He pushed open the freezer,
Zhou Ze jumped down,
he stretched,
his joints made a crisp sound,
it was more comfortable than going to the sauna for an entire afternoon.
“Phew…”
He exhaled a breath of white air.
He took out his phone and looked at it. It was already late at night. There were still a few missed calls and messages from the bookstore.
Zhou Ze replied with a message saying that he was fine and would be back soon.
He walked out of the morgue,
he turned around,
he even looked at it with a hint of nostalgia.
He couldn't go back,
sleeping in the freezer was like eating too many delicacies and occasionally buying a meal of miscellaneous grains,
but if you ate miscellaneous grains every day, you would definitely feel uncomfortable.
It was still more comfortable to sleep with Yingying in your arms,
Yingying would also cover you with a blanket at night.
Walking into the corridor, just as Zhou Ze was about to turn the corner and walk to the elevator door, he saw a woman standing at the elevator door.
At first, he didn't think anything of it,
but Zhou Ze keenly noticed that this woman looked a little familiar.
Wasn't this the woman who fainted on the bus during the day,
didn't she say…
that she had already died from ineffective resuscitation?
The woman seemed to have noticed Zhou Ze as she swept her gaze over.
For a moment…
the poker cards in Zhou Ze's pocket began to tremble,
Zhou Ze knew that this was the woman trying to see through his identity. However, Lawyer An had also said that as long as the poker cards did not burn up, it meant that his deception would not fail.
The woman looked at him for a while before she retracted her gaze. She must have treated him as an ordinary person.
Zhou Ze walked over and stood in a row with the woman,
they waited for the elevator together.
Only to hear…
“Ding!”
The elevator came down,
the two of them walked in together.
The woman stood beside Zhou Ze, straighter than the others.
When the elevator door closed and was about to go up…
the woman suddenly spoke:
“Excuse me, what day is it today?”
The woman's voice was faint as if it was a surround sound.
“August 24th. Oh, it's past midnight. August 25th.”
“Oh?” The woman was a little puzzled and asked again, “Isn't today supposed to be July 15th?”
“July 15th?” Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood and said, “That's the lunar calendar. That's right, today is July 15th.”
The 15th of July,
the mid-autumn Festival,
also known as…
the Ghost Festival!
