Chapter 299: Chapter 266: Another One Dead?

"Alright, then let’s go...," Jiang Xiao Yi paused, then retreated to the door of Yang Tao’s hospital room, "How about this, Dr. Qin, you go to room number four and check out the situation for me, I’ll watch these two here."

Dr. Qin: "?"

Bro, my neck and stomach are still bleeding profusely, you’re directing me to room number four, aren’t you just asking for my death?

"Can’t you handle a little kid?"

Dr. Qin hung his head, not daring to speak.

This wasn’t a matter of being able to handle it or not, it was simply pure fear.

If I weren’t injured, I also wouldn’t be afraid of anything, but now my good buddy, Niu Wuliang, is already gone, and I’ve been seriously injured...

"Not willing? Then you can go with this couple to room number four and have a look."

Dr. Qin shuddered and sprang up from the ground.

"I’ll go! I’ll go, it’s just a little brat, watch me warm up the wine and slay the brat!"

After he finished speaking, Dr. Qin raced toward room number four, afraid that Jiang Xiao might pair him with that psychopathic murderous couple.

Dr. Qin left quickly, and came back even quicker.

"Hmm?"

Seeing him return so soon, not only Jiang Xiao but also the couple showed expressions of surprise.

That quick?

"Bro, when I got there, the kid... was already gone..."

What?

"How did he die?" Jiang Xiao pressed.

"This..."

Thinking it over, Dr. Qin’s eyes lit up, and he pointed at his buddy, Niu Wuliang, who was already cold on the ground.

"Look! He died exactly like the dean, full of knife wounds, chopped up beyond recognition."

Jiang Xiao turned his gaze back to the couple.

At this point, they were in a complete panic, kneeling on the ground and repeatedly denying the charges.

"No, no, no! Bro, you have to believe us, it was that bastard that made us do it!"

"The real murderer must be someone else; we, we only killed that evil dean, really bro, believe us."

With Jiang Xiao backing him, Dr. Qin couldn’t help but swagger arrogantly, taunting the two.

"Heh, now that the people are dead, there’s no evidence left, it’s whatever you say it is."

But the way he was clutching his neck’s main artery did somewhat lessen his imposing manner.

"Dr. Qin, are you sure you don’t need to get that wound bandaged?"

"No need, no need, a real man doesn’t worry about superficial injuries!"

Superficial injury?

Bro, aren’t you about to bleed out?!

Filling up with blood or whatever, that could feed two people for three meals!

Dr. Qin was bitter inside!

He wanted to get bandaged too, but looking at the dark corridor, and going to the operating room alone to clean his wounds was something he was really afraid of...

And the couple continued to shift the blame, insisting everything was unrelated to them, it was all the kid’s fault.

"If the kid wasn’t killed by you, then who could it be? Surely not Dr. Qin?"

Hearing Jiang Xiao say this, Dr. Qin’s head shook like a rattle.

"How could it be me? Look at the state I’m in, not being killed by the kid is already lucky enough."

"Heh, talking about you two, first you attacked Yang Tao, then you ambushed me and the dean, and you’re full of lies, you heartless monsters, even killing your own child wouldn’t be surprising, right?"

Ah?

The couple froze.

"What Yang Tao?"

"No, we only went after the corrupt dean and this immoral doctor! What Yang Tao? We really don’t know about that!"

Whether they were pretending or not, the couple seemed to be really desperate.

Meanwhile, Yang Tao, who had been in the hospital room, had somehow slipped out as well.

Seeing her, Dr. Qin immediately pulled her over.

"Look! The victim is right here, try contradicting that!"

The couple exchanged glances and then shook their heads in unison. They hadn’t laid a finger on this woman.

"Yang Tao! You tell us, expose their lies yourself!"

Yang Tao nervously twiddled her fingers, hesitantly saying,

"I, I was attacked from behind, I didn’t see who it was..."

Everyone: ...

Jiang Xiao spoke up, "Now that Yang Tao can move freely, how about I take you to see the child’s body right now? The method the murderer used to kill him is exactly the same as the one that killed the despicable Dean! It must be them!"

Qin Shousheng, fearing Jiang Xiao wouldn’t be convinced, quickly led the way to ward four.

...

Huh?

Where’s the body?

The body that was just here, where did it go?

At that moment, a crying and wailing voice came from the entrance of the ward.

"Are you guys here too? It’s all over! Doctor Qin! Little Ji Xiang is dead! He was murdered!"

The person who appeared at the doorway was Nurse Xiao Qin.

Jiang Xiao and the others looked at her with suspicion.

Emm...

How should I put it, the timing of her appearance... is quite mysterious!

Seeing the looks from Jiang Xiao and Qin Shousheng, Xiao Qin stepped back in fright.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Huh? Doctor Qin, you’re injured too? Do you need some anti-inflammatory medicine?"

Qin Shousheng twitched the corner of his mouth; were his injuries really something that anti-inflammatory medicine could handle?

"Xiao Qin, where were you tonight?"

"I... at this time, am I not always sleeping in the duty room? I just got up to go to the bathroom and noticed that the light in Ji Xiang’s room was on, so I came to check and then I found... wuu wuu wuu, Ji Xiang died so miserably! I’ve already pushed him to the operating room, and I’ve looked everywhere, just couldn’t find you or the Dean."

So that’s how it is.

Ji Xiang’s room and the Dean’s office have two corners between them; given that almost everyone was at the Dean’s office tonight, it was quite normal that Xiao Qin hadn’t seen anything on this side.

As for the light...

Qin Shousheng nodded, indicating that indeed, he hadn’t turned off the light after finding the body.

Hearing from Qin Shousheng that so many serious events had happened tonight, Xiao Qin was completely shocked and stood frozen in place.

"I just knew it! Ji Xiang’s parents have always been indifferent towards him, but insisted on staying in the hospital and not leaving, so that’s the reason. They were just looking for an opportunity to get rid of the burden that is Ji Xiang, aiming to have a second child, right?! That’s outrageous!"

Oh?

So there’s this dynamic between the three family members?

Qin Shousheng, always preoccupied with scheming against patients, had never before taken any interest in learning about the relations within this family.

The couple already had strong suspicions against them, but after Xiao Qin’s words, it seemed almost certain that they were responsible for killing Ji Xiang.

So the group quickly went back.

What?!

(*ﾟﾛﾟ)!!

|๑ớ▿ờ)

Upon witnessing the scene before them, Jiang Xiao and the rest were once again completely dumbfounded.

How did another person die in the blink of an eye?

The husband of the couple was dead, also stabbed in the chest.

"Yang Tao? Yang Tao!"

"Eh! I’m here!"

Yang Tao came running out of the room, it turns out she had only been hiding because she was scared, and had just gone back in.

When she saw the stabbed man, her face was also filled with utter confusion.

Everyone’s gaze then focused on the stabbed man’s wife, which was also Ji Xiang’s mother.

At that moment, her expression was cold, and she still held the bloody dagger in her hand.

Heh, you can’t escape this time, can you?

Just a moment ago, everyone was in Ji Xiang’s room, and Yang Tao was in the ward; only this couple was here, and now one of them was dead.

Who else could possibly be the murderer but her?

"Speak up, Ji Xiang’s mom, I’ll give you one more chance to explain."

"You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."

Just when everyone thought this woman would continue to make excuses and defend herself, she threw the dagger on the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any interest in hearing a story?"

Jiang Xiao’s face turned red, feeling somewhat embarrassed, he shook his head.

"Er, sorry, I’m not interested."
