Not long after being taken to the hospital, while dressing the wound in the emergency room, he saw James and Marilyn hurrying in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What the hell is going on?" James asked.

"I don't know. We finished our meal at the Peace Hotel and were about to leave when suddenly there was a shootout and we were blocked inside. The attackers threw grenades. Lydia was wounded. Have you seen a doctor? How is Lydia's injury? ”

James said with red eyes: "I'm still in the operating room, I don't know the specific situation." Didn't I tell you yesterday that the security in the West End is not good? Where are you going? ”

Zongheng heard the complaint in James's words. He was about to apologize to them, saying that it was because he wanted to eat Chinese food that the two of them would be in danger. Unexpectedly, he opened his mouth, and before he could speak, Jack's voice came from the side: "Iamsosorry..."

Even if he didn't understand anything other than "I'm sorry", Jack's guilt could be clearly felt in his tone. He lowered his head, hunched his waist, and his face was red for a while and white for a while, like a hairy child who had done something wrong and was caught by a parent or teacher.

Since Jack arrived, James and Marilyn's attention has been focused on him, completely ignoring the vertical and horizontal. Zongheng looked at them silently and did not say a word. Even if he is not a clever person, he knows that he had better be a transparent person at this time.

After a few more moments, Dr. Woolf came out of the operating room. At the moment when she took off the mask, Zongheng found that there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, and his hanging heart finally let go.

Sure enough, after Dr. Woolf said a few words, James and Jack were greatly relieved, and Marilyn cried with joy.

"What did Dr. Woolf say?" Zongheng asked James.

James stroked his hair in a good mood and said, "Dr. Woolf said that the wooden thorn didn't penetrate Lydia's internal organs. The injuries were not serious. It's just that Lydia was hit in the explosion and had some concussions, and it took some time to recuperate when she turned back. ”

"That's good......" Zongheng said sincerely.

……

Heavy firefights with automatic weapons, five deaths and four lives, and an F.B.I. agent among the wounded, elevated the case to federal elevation in an instant. In the afternoon of the same day, the FBI urgently dispatched agents from Chicago to Midwood.

As a survivor of the Peace Hotel shooting, Master Chen met the two FBI agents in the reception room of the Midwood Police Station.

One of the female detectives, after showing the police badge to Master Chen, said, "Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm FBI agent Catherine Ruth Moretti, and this is my partner, Roger Probert. We have some questions for you about the shooting that happened at noon today. ”

After this half a day, Master Chen has recovered from his initial panic. The deaths and injuries of Chef Dante and the other chefs, as well as the loss of the restaurant, still grieved him. He said expressionlessly and weakly: "I have told the police what I should say." ”

Agent Moretti said, "I've seen all the records of the local police officers in Midwood. But there are some questions that I have to confirm with you. ”

"Ask if there's anything."

"According to you, you fainted from the impact of the explosion during the shooting, so you didn't see anything as to who killed the two attackers. Is that so? ”

"That's right."

"So, when you woke up, what did you see?"

"I was crushed under a table that had been overturned by an explosion, and I saw that the table had been moved and Li Mo was standing in front of me with the long knife we had placed in front of the store as an ornament."

"Li Mo is that boy?"

"Yes."

"Whose long knife was it? Why do you need to put it in front of the store? ”

Master Chen smiled bitterly twice and said, "The knife belongs to the boss." The boss is a fan of Zhou Runfa, and he especially likes his "Peace Hotel". So when I opened the restaurant, I deliberately took the same name as in the movie, and I also learned from the movie and set up a knife at the door as a decoration. ”

"Who else has touched that knife besides Li Mo?"

Master Chen thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if anyone else touched that knife when I passed out. All I know is that our boss liked the knife very much, and it is said that it was forged from the best materials by a famous craftsman, and it was usually kept in a cabinet so that no one was allowed to touch it. Only the boss will sometimes take it out and play with it. ”

"Does your boss wear gloves when he's playing with that knife?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"Please answer my question."

"Okay...... I remember the boss saying that although this knife is sharp, it rusts easily, so be sure to maintain it regularly. And do not let the blade stick to oil and sweat. Therefore, every time she took the knife out of the glass case, she had to put on a pair of clean white gloves. ”

"She? Your boss is a woman? ”

"That's right! Don't you know? Master Chen looked at the two of them in surprise.

Moretti and Probert looked at each other and shook their heads.

Master Chen then remembered something and said, "Although our boss is very young, he is a woman. But it's a good set of business. It's just that when she first registered and opened, she was still in high school, and it was not suitable for her to take care of the business herself, so she asked her father to be the boss on the surface. Presumably because of this, you think she's a man, right? ”

Moretti was silent for a moment, she really didn't know about this beforehand.

She asked, "Can you tell me the name of your female boss and her contact information?" ”

……

Just as Moretti was asking Master Chen about the case, Zongheng received a strange note in the hospital room.

The note was delivered by a nurse at the hospital. She was wearing a mask, and she couldn't see her true face. All he knew was that when the nurse was measuring his blood pressure, he quietly pulled out a palm-sized note from the nursing record book and put it in front of him. Immediately, she didn't say anything and left the ward.

When I opened the note, I saw that it was written in traditional Chinese characters: "The FBI has sent someone to investigate the shootout at the hotel, if you don't want to be watched or even imprisoned by the government as a monster, be sure to do as I say......"

Next, the note was densely packed with details on how to respond to the F.B.I. question. Finally, the person who wrote the note also wrote in red pen: "Remember the words above. Immediately go to the toilet, pretend to be on the tuba, tear this piece of paper and flush it down the drain. Be sure not to leave any traces. ”

With the memory of the present moment, you can remember every word on the slip of paper in just one pass. The instructions of the owner of the note were not difficult for him. Although the appearance of carrying a knife at the scene of the crime was terrifying, his current body was only twelve years old. This made the policeman outside the door, who did not come to the scene of the crime to witness it with his own eyes, only learned the general passage from his colleagues, and was assigned to guard Zongheng, unconsciously relaxed his vigilance. As long as he can't leave the door of the ward, he can do whatever he wants in the ward, and he is extremely free.

Although he didn't know what the purpose of the person who passed him the note was, Zongheng felt that it didn't hurt him to do what the note said. So, he folded the note and put it in his coat pocket and walked lightly into the bathroom in the hospital room.

After making sure that every piece of paper was washed clean, Zongheng made a frightened appearance and lay quietly on the hospital bed waiting for the FBI agent mentioned on the note.

But the situation seemed to be somewhat unexpected by the owner of the note, and after waiting all night, none of the FBI agents mentioned on the note showed up at the hospital.

……

At the police station, not far from Middlewood Hospital, Moretti and Probert were so distressed that they almost broke their scalps as they watched the forensic officers rush to report.

"It can't be! According to the report, the gunman, who was mutilated, severed his wrist when he was grabbed by the ankle and swung in the air when he hit a knife stuck in a stone with both hands. Then the man who grabbed him by the ankle threw him to the ground again, and slashed him in two with the long knife straight from the top of his head to his stride. Is this writing a novel or making a movie? How could an ordinary person have so much strength? Moretti frantically waved the report in her hand.

In a rare move, Probert smoked a cigarette in front of Moretti and said, "But both on the gunman's ankle and on the hilt of that knife are the fingerprints of the boy named Nemo." ”

"He's only a twelve-year-old kid, how could he have such abilities?"

"It's really hard to understand."

Just then, Moretti's cell phone rang. She glanced at the screen and said, "It's Spencer's phone." ”

Pressing the call button, Moretti said into the phone: "Spencer, did you find anything over there?" ”

Spencer on the other end of the line said: "Kate (Katherine Ruth Moretti's nickname), I checked, and the two gunmen were members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a Colombian rebel group. Ten years ago, there were many kidnappings and murders on the U.S.-Mexico border. It has been disappearing for the past few years, but I didn't expect to suddenly appear in Midwood and be killed there. I've sent their files to your email, and there's a lot of content, so you can take your time. As for the boy named Nemo that you asked me to check, the system shows that his information is top secret, and I have no access to it. The only clue is that the order for his information confidentiality was issued by Skinner, the head of the New York district office. If you do do look at each other, you must get permission from Skinner or get written consent from a federal judge. ”

"What?!" Moretti froze.
