Chapter 2187 Calling back the soul in the middle of the night?
The cell was too dark, so she simply dragged the person out of the cell and examined the body on the ground in the dim light. It wasn't Officer Ma, but it was wearing Officer Ma's uniform.
After carefully examining the corpse's face, Zhang Ran confirmed several times that she did not recognize it. She slowly stood up, stepped on the corpse's neck and broke it until the corpse became stiff and even Hua Tuo himself could not save it. Only then did she turn around and go back to her cell to continue sleeping.
"Old Ma!"
"Old Ma!"
Officer Ma was woken up and opened his eyes to find himself lying on the cold ground.
"Old Ma, you're finally awake! Something's happened!" Old Li helped him up from the ground.
Officer Ma was shivering from the cold. He looked down and saw that his coat and uniform had been pulled off, revealing his shirt underneath.
"Your uniform is gone, and your service weapon is gone too!" Old Li was pacing around anxiously. Before Officer Ma could ask him anything, he hurriedly recounted the whole incident. "You called me and said there was a suspect causing trouble, so I took some men over there!"
"I was looking down to find the key to open the cell when someone grabbed me from behind and threatened me with my colleague's life to lead the way."
"I had no choice but to do as they instructed, to lure you out, and then we were both knocked unconscious!"
"When I woke up, I found your uniform had been stolen and your service weapon was gone! We have to find them right away!"
Officer Ma, seemingly struck by a sudden thought, cried out in alarm and rushed into the cell.
Old Li followed closely behind, chasing after him.
It wasn't until a body dressed in Officer Ma's uniform was found outside Zhang Ran's cell that the truth came out.
Officer Ma immediately crouched down to check and found that the person was already dead, with their throat slit by a sharp weapon; the wound was as thin as a thread.
Fearing he wasn't completely dead, the murderer deliberately broke his neck, leaving him with no chance of survival.
He jumped to his feet and rushed into the cell, only to kick something. Looking down, he saw it was his sidearm. After picking it up and examining it, he discovered the magazine was empty. His world collapsed!
He rushed to the bedside in one stride.
There were only tattered blankets and pillows on the bed, with cotton lint flying everywhere, but no one was there.
He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out of the cell, calling out a few times, "Zhang Ran? Zhang Ran??"
"Are you trying to call back a soul in the middle of the night?"
Old Li saw a woman walk out of the opposite cell as if he had seen a ghost, and he was so frightened that he immediately pulled out his pistol and aimed it at her.
"Don't shoot!" Officer Ma immediately rushed over and used his body to block the muzzle of Lao Li's gun, which startled Lao Li so much that he quickly pointed the gun downwards, fearing that it might go off accidentally.
"Did you kill this person?" Officer Ma questioned Zhang Ran, pointing to the corpse on the ground.
Zhang Ran vehemently denied it, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting? I have no interest in assaulting police officers."
Officer Ma: "...He is not a police officer; he is a suspect detained in another area."
Zhang Ran examined the corpse with an air of importance, as if seeing it for the first time. After a long while, she made her assessment: "So he was the one who assaulted a police officer and impersonated one. He deserved to die." She then yawned and said, "Anything else? If not, I'm going to sleep."
Officer Ma: "...Go to sleep." Watching Zhang Ran turn and enter the cell, her figure disappearing into the darkness, he then called for Old Li to help carry the body out and throw it under the desk.
Old Li and Officer Ma looked at each other in bewilderment.
Old Li swallowed hard: "What the hell is going on?"
Officer Ma: "...Let me check the surveillance footage first."
The surveillance footage of the male suspect's cell remained black, while the female suspect's cell was still under surveillance. The footage showed that she was called out by Lao Li, and a few minutes later, "he" walked back in. However, the person was not him at all, but deliberately wearing his uniform and impersonating him. He walked forward, opening one iron door after another, and finally arrived at the cell where Zhang Ran was being held. The surveillance footage then abruptly ended.
