Chapter 84: Can I Try It On?
"Damn it! It didn’t succeed!" The shadow said angrily and quickly left.
Kanyue City First People’s Hospital.
Bai Shishi was lying in a hospital bed breathing through an oxygen mask.
The ward door was pushed open, and the person who walked in was Lin Tian.
"Miss Bai, are you okay?" Lin Tian asked with concern as soon as he entered.
"No problem, the doctor said it was just oxygen deprivation causing the coma, said breathing some oxygen would be fine!" Bai Shishi smiled.
"That’s good!" Lin Tian found a place to sit down.
"You seem to have something on your mind?" Seeing Lin Tian’s worried expression, Bai Shishi asked.
"I do have something on my mind!" Lin Tian nodded.
"Oh, isn’t it just the elevator accident? I’m fine, don’t worry!" Bai Shishi thought Lin Tian was worried about her health.
Lin Tian spoke up, "Miss Bai, don’t you think today’s elevator accident was too coincidental?"
"Coincidence?" Bai Shishi furrowed her brows, "I didn’t get what you mean!"
"Elevator malfunction is normal, but the ventilation shaft being blocked is a bit odd, especially since the rescue team arrived so slowly!"
Lin Tian briefly told Bai Shishi about the events that happened after she got on the ambulance.
"You mean someone wanted to harm me?" Bai Shishi looked serious, finally realizing the gravity of the situation.
"It’s just a suspicion!"
Lin Tian said in a deep voice, "That’s why I came to ask you!"
"Ask!"
Bai Shishi took another breath of oxygen and removed the oxygen mask, "The entire building has ten floors, all my people, but the bottom six floors are companies, so I’m not officially in charge of them!"
"But I am the real chairman!"
"If someone is really trying to frame you, I think it’s someone from the security department. The repair technician said, besides them having the elevator keys, only the security department has them!" Lin Tian voiced his thoughts.
"Security department?"
Bai Shishi pondered for a moment and spoke, "The minister of the security department is Wang Ba. How should I say about this person?"
"Not very honest, but not bad either, and his uncle Wang Quan is also in the company, considered a minor shareholder!"
"Miss Bai, let me ask you, is it true that only the minister can freely use the keys to the whole building?" Lin Tian ignored what Miss Bai said about Wang Ba.
He just followed his own judgment.
"Yes, as the security department minister, Wang Ba indeed has the right to use all the keys in the building, but this right is limited to floors one to six!" Bai Shishi confirmed.
"That’s enough!" Now Lin Tian was increasingly convinced that Wang Ba was suspicious.
"So you mean we should directly confront him?" Bai Shishi asked.
"Confront him?" Lin Tian laughed, "Do you think he would admit it?"
"In this era, evidence matters, you need to catch someone red-handed; without evidence, only a fool would admit just by being questioned!"
"So? I want to hear your thoughts!" Since Lin Tian said so, given Bai Shishi’s understanding of him, he surely had a good plan.
"Let’s assume Wang Ba is the insider, if he wants to sneak around doing something, what time would he choose?" Lin Tian raised his eyebrow at Bai Shishi.
"At night!" Bai Shishi replied almost without thinking.
"Exactly!"
Lin Tian pondered for a moment, "So I think sneaking in the building at night, catching him in the act!"
"Alright!" Bai Shishi nodded, "Do you need me to find some people to help you?"
"For this kind of thing, it’s best that I do it myself; too many people would be troublesome!"
"Then be careful!" Bai Shishi paused for a moment and continued, "There’s another set of keys in my office; go get them, so you can enter the company unnoticed."
"Alright!" Lin Tian glanced at the time.
"It’s getting late, Miss Bai, I’ll go back to prepare; if today’s incident wasn’t a coincidence, the opponent will definitely look for an opportunity; I believe there will be movement tonight!" Lin Tian said as he got up.
"Then go, if you really catch the insider, I’ll definitely credit you!" Bai Shishi looked at Lin Tian with a special gaze.
This man always manages to surprise her!!!
On the way out of the hospital, Lin Tian was pondering a question, what if the insider isn’t just one person, but several?
That would be troublesome, more people means more guts, anything could happen.
"I must come up with a foolproof strategy!" Lin Tian stood at the hospital entrance, watching the traffic and thinking.
Unintentionally, his gaze swept over a young man’s phone beside him, and Lin Tian was so startled he nearly fell on his bum: "What the heck is this movie!"
In the phone, a woman with disheveled hair and wearing white slowly approached, her head seemed about to pop out of the phone...
"Oh my god!" Lin Tian quickly took a few steps back and looked away.
"A single Sadako has scared you~!" the young man chuckled and locked his phone screen.
"I was just thinking about something and glanced over, got scared!!" Lin Tian rubbed his wildly beating heart.
"Haha, but The Ring is indeed terrifying!" The young man also patted his heart, "I almost got scared to death by you too!"
"Damn, horror movies are too scary!" Lin Tian has been afraid of horror movies since childhood.
Zombies, hanging ghosts, female ghosts... every time he watched, he’d be too scared to go to the bathroom at night.
"Afraid of ghosts!" Lin Tian had a sudden idea, nobody isn’t afraid of ghosts, maybe he could use this.
Lin Tian showed a mischievous smile, seemingly brewing a naughty plan.
Quickly leaving Kanyue City First People’s Hospital, Lin Tian first went to Xianglong Tea House to grab the keys.
By now it was completely dark, but Lin Tian still didn’t stop, heading straight to a store specializing in funeral products.
"What do you want to buy?" The shop owner, a forty-year-old man, was packing up to close the store.
"I’ll just look around~!" Lin Tian was coming to such a place for the first time; who knew what to buy?
"Look around? You think it’s a supermarket?" the shop owner joked.
"Boss, do you have anything that can scare people to death?" Lin Tian looked at the wreaths and coffins filling the store and swallowed.
"I sell things for dead people; how do you think I scare people to death?" The shop owner was exasperated, thinking this young man might be joking.
"Boss, have a cigarette!" Lin Tian approached the shop owner mysteriously.
The shop owner swallowed hard and stepped back two steps, "Just tell me what you want!"
"Can I try on that outfit?" Lin Tian pointed at a colorful shroud hanging on the wall.
This scared the shop owner so much he shivered; the cigarette he just lit fell to the floor: "Young man, are you a person or a ghost?"
Having sold funeral items for so many years, customers always buy directly.
Today was the first time seeing a living person wanting to try on a shroud, it’s really unbelievable...
"Have you ever seen a ghost smoke?"
Lin Tian looked exasperated; was it necessary to be so dramatic about trying on a shroud?
