Chapter 988 Missing Blood From the Blood Bank
Sure enough, at the hospital, Father Wei told Chi Shuyan about the missing blood and how the Shen family had been cleared of suspicion. That was because Shen Rongyin had suddenly given evidence that there were others who had helped the Shen family plant the flowers. Fang Qingtian had confirmed that a few of the military wives had indeed helped out. They said that there had been nothing in the flowerbed back then, and the Shen family didn"t know when so many bones had suddenly been buried there.
Although this matter couldn"t completely clear the Shen family of suspicion, it was a breakthrough in the case.
Father Wei had brought people to the Shen residence to check a few more times in the last few days, but hadn"t found anything else.
Hearing this, Chi Shuyan subconsciously looked at her father and Qi Zhenbai. Her father hadn"t told her about this.
Qi Zhenbai was about to wrap his arms around his wife"s waist and hug her out of habit, but as soon as he made a move, his future father-in-law stared at him, so he could only draw back his hand without batting an eyelid.
After that, Father Wei talked about how blood had gone missing from the blood bank recently. If the higher-ups hadn"t cracked down on it, this matter would have caused an uproar long ago. It was just that everyone in the hospital had been in a panic these past few days.
There were also people who said that they had seen a ghost, and the more the story spread, the more outlandish it became. Conversely, Father Wei didn"t think it was an exaggeration. Fortunately, however, there had been no deaths.
At that moment, Wei Ting and Wei Man knocked on the door and came in. Father Wei frowned. "What are the two of you doing here?"
"Dad, we"re looking for Yan Yan!" Wei Ting was the first to speak. After a pause, he continued, "Dad, Chief Qi, Uncle Chi, if you want to know about the missing blood, Ah Man and I might know something!"
At this point, Wei Ting couldn"t help but recall what happened a few nights ago, and his face was still pale.
Qi Zhenbai and Chi Lingyan saw that something was wrong with Wei Ting and Wei Man"s expressions. Without waiting for Father Wei to speak, Chi Lingyan waved them in and said, "Ah Ting, Ah Man, what do you know?"
Chi Shuyan looked at the two brothers at that moment. Although their faces were a bit pale, the black qi that had gathered on their faces before had completely disappeared. It seemed that either the two of them had run into something or that woman, Shen Rongyin, had come to find them recently.
She was more inclined to think it was the latter.
At that moment, without waiting for Wei Ting to speak, Wei Man swallowed his saliva and blurted out, "Dad, Yan Yan, I finally saw that withered, yellow hand which Yan Yan mentioned before. That hand wanted to crawl through the crack in the door a few nights ago. Fortunately, Yan Yan had sensed something early in the morning and stuck talismans on the door and window, so that thing couldn"t harm us! Also, we saw that ghost face! It was too terrifying!"
Except for Chi Shuyan, everyone else"s faces changed drastically at Wei Man"s words. Cold sweat broke out on Wei Xiao"s forehead and his face changed drastically. He immediately said, "What the h.e.l.l is going on?"
Wei Ting wasn"t as impetuous with his words as Wei Man, and he spoke in more detail. He said that on the first night that the blood went missing in the hospital, Yan Yan had told them not to go out after midnight. He hadn"t thought much of it at the time. He had been a little thirsty and had wanted to go out and get some water. Fortunately, his younger brother stopped him.
At this point, not only was Wei Ting still terrified, he didn"t dare think about the consequences if he had really opened the door and gone out. Suppressing the alarm in his heart, he continued, "Not long after I argued with Ah Man, we suddenly heard knocking on the door."
The knocking had naturally scared the two, but Yan Yan"s previous preparations gave them some courage, and they didn"t dare open the door. The knocking disappeared after the second time. The two had been about to relax, when they saw an old, withered hand suddenly poke through the crack in the door.
