The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 131 Li Kui and Li Gui
Chen Shan poured himself two cups of tea.

"Do you live alone?" Qi Fei asked.

Chen Shan nodded: "Yes, I have always been single."

"We found that you haven't been to Nancheng Hospital since the leukemia diagnosis report came out. Why?" Qi Fei asked.

Chen Shan didn't answer the question, but just repeatedly confirmed: "You said, I don't have leukemia?"

"According to the information we got from the hospital, this is indeed the case," Qi Fei said.

Chen Shan sat on the sofa opposite them, seemingly unable to believe it. He kept scratching his head with both hands, smiling to himself, and soon tears began to flow again: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure. I, I thought I was going to die."

This reaction made Qi Fei even more confused: "Have you always thought you had leukemia?"

Chen Shan nodded and took out a pile of medicine from under the coffee table: "This is the medicine I take every day..." As he said this, he realized that something was wrong and looked up at Qi Fei in horror: "Then why did Doctor Li treat me as having leukemia?!"

"Doctor Li? Are you talking about Li Liang from Nancheng Hospital?" Qi Fei frowned.

"Yes, Dr. Li has always been my doctor," Chen Shan said confidently. "Two months ago, I had a fever and went to Nancheng Hospital. He told me I had leukemia and needed immediate treatment."

"Did you go to Nancheng Hospital later? There's no record of your visit in the hospital system."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shan immediately said, "Because Doctor Li told me that it's difficult to get an appointment with him at Nancheng Hospital, and there's a long queue. He holds a free clinic at Huanyu International every week, so I can just go see him there."

"Huanyu International?" Qi Fei felt the name was wrong and immediately pulled out a photo of Li Liang from his phone and showed it to Chen Shan. He asked, "Is this the Doctor Li you're talking about?"

Chen Shan shook his head and said, "No, who is this person?"

Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that they were encountering a "Li Kui and Li Gui" situation.

……

Chen Shan took Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu to the medical treatment place he mentioned.

However, to his surprise, the door of that place was closed and there was no one there.

"Hey? Where is the person?" Chen Shan looked around in a daze.

"Are you sure it's here? This is just an ordinary office building?" Wu Shanqiu asked with some doubt.

At this time, a woman who looked like a cleaner passed by and saw that they had been standing at the door for a long time. She said to them, "This house has been vacated and no one is here. You don't need to look for it anymore."

"Was this a clinic?" Qi Fei asked.

"No, there used to be a man who used this place. He didn't run a company or do anything special. He just came here once a week." The cleaner looked at Chen Shan and recognized him. "Aren't you his partner?"

Chen Shan was puzzled by the question: "What partner? I came to him for medical treatment."

The cleaning lady didn't understand what Chen Shan said: "I only see you two come here once a week. There's no one else here at other times. What's wrong with you that you need to make an appointment outside to see a doctor instead of going to the hospital?"

The cleaning lady's question left Chen Shan speechless.

This is obviously a scam.

"Did he make you spend a lot of money?" Qi Fei asked.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shan shook his head and said, "No, the medicine he gave me is cheaper than what I get in the hospital."

Wu Shanqiu was confused when she heard this: "Then what does he want?"

Chen Shan was also puzzled: "What was this person trying to do by playing such a prank! I thought I was going to die!"

Qi Fei stood beside Chen Shan, looking at the bewildered Chen Shan, and sighed speechlessly: "You are lucky in misfortune. You should know that you developed leukemia from a common cold. On the other hand, leukemia was misdiagnosed as a cold, and the person died." After hearing this, Chen Shan was speechless for a long time: "Dead, dead?" he murmured.

Qi Fei looked up at the surveillance camera at the elevator entrance. "This office building is so new, the quality of the camera must be better than the one at the ferry on Jiangting Island, right?"

The first rays of sunlight in the morning poured into Qi Fei's office through the window. While shaving his beard with an electric shaver, he turned on the surveillance video sent by Universal International.

4K high definition, very good, Qi Fei has had enough of the black and white mosaic picture quality.

Unfortunately, the fake Li Liang arranged a follow-up period of 90 days for Chen Shan, which perfectly coincided with the period when the office building surveillance was cleared.

The surveillance footage of Chen Shan going to this fake clinic last time has been cleared, which means that Qi Fei has to search for the fake doctor day by day.

The elevator door on that floor opened and closed, and the people coming in and out were either cleaners or office workers. There was no one who looked like a doctor.

Checking surveillance is always a painful process. During the long daily routine, one must always remain 200% alert to observe any clues.

One 24 hours plus another 24 hours.

The morning light gradually turned into the sunset, and Qi Fei's beard, which had just been shaved in the morning, showed signs of growing stubble again.

Just when his attention was stretched to its limit, the elevator, which had been numbing for him, opened and closed again, and a man in a white coat appeared in the picture.

White coat, mask.

This was enough to attract Qi Fei's attention.

It was already dark by this time.

He was so focused that he didn't even get up to turn on the light in the room.

In the darkness, the light from the computer screen shone on his face.

At this moment, a supernatural scene happened.

The fake doctor put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and stopped the moment he walked out of the elevator.

The elevator door slowly closed behind him. He seemed to be thinking about something, or as if he sensed something.

Suddenly he looked up at the surveillance camera.

Through this lens, his eyes collided with Qi Fei's.

At this moment, Qi Fei felt as if he was electrocuted all over. His fingers trembled as he pressed the pause button. This strange feeling struck his soul directly. The most terrifying thing was not the sense of déjà vu, but that Qi Fei felt like he was looking in the mirror.

In an instant, whether it was Zhong Xiaoyu or Ying Shuigen, looking at the eyes looking at the screen, Qi Fei miraculously empathized with them and understood this feeling.

He rubbed his tired face vigorously with his hands, as if trying to wake himself up from a nightmare.

Then, between his fingers, those eyes were still staring at him, creating the illusion of overlapping time and space.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, mustered up the courage, and pressed the continue button.

However, the person in this video seemed to have a soul and did not leave. Instead, he took out something from his pocket and stretched out his hand to the camera lens.

He knows! He knows he's going to see this video!
Qi Fei stood up in panic, and the chair behind him fell down.

Because he saw clearly what was in the man's hand.
