At dawn the next day, the weather was gloomy, and it rained again last night, and the temperature plummeted a lot, and the atmosphere of deep winter became stronger and stronger. The thick frost on the glass windows made it impossible for the people in the ward to see outside at all.

Lei Ming put on a thick coat for Qian Xiaomo, and then took her hand out of the ward.

In the explosion, Lei Ming was the most seriously injured, his legs and feet were not flexible, holding Qian Xiaomo with one hand and crutches with the other, and the two of them entered the elevator like this.

"I can visit the old man by myself, you can wait for me in the ward." Qian Xiaomo looked up at Lei Ming beside her.

He just pursed his lips and smiled, and clenched Qian Xiaomo's hand harder and harder, "What stupid thing to say, I promised you, and I will definitely do it!" ”

Qian Xiaomo just looked at him affectionately, didn't say anything, and the elevator stopped with a clang.

Qian Xiaomo helped Lei Ming and slowly walked out of the elevator.

After asking the nurse about the ward number of the old man who had a car accident yesterday, Qian Xiaomo helped Lei Ming to go over.

The old man's ward was the last one at the end of the hallway, with windows open and a whirring breeze blowing through the hallway. Qian Xiaomo helped Lei Ming over, and couldn't help but tremble, Lei Ming immediately stretched out his arm and hugged her tightly in his arms. There was no one in the corridor, and the wards on both sides were also tightly closed, the doors were mottled for some years, and the light in the corridor was very dim, Qian Xiaomo was faintly scared in her heart.

She looked back at the way she had come, and the nurses' station, which had been manned, was now empty. The lights above the nurse's station were flickering, a little out of contact. The wind is blowing, and it makes people feel eerie. Qian Xiaomo swallowed the hard object in the roar, retracted his gaze, and only the footsteps of the two of them and the sound of Lei Ming's cane and pestle echoed in the corridor, each sound was infinitely amplified in the dead space, clearly hitting Qian Xiaomo's heart, making people numb.

I don't know why, at this time, Qian Xiaomo suddenly remembered the old man's gaze - eyes like hungry eagles, eyes like pools, not angry and arrogant, deep and sharp and cold like a knife - always makes people shudder.

Qian Xiaomo stopped suddenly, Lei Ming looked back at her suspiciously, and whispered, "What's wrong?" ”

Qian Xiaomo pursed the corners of her lips and shook her head, "It's nothing." ”

yes, that's nothing.

The old man is also pitiful, his son does not recognize him and forcibly sends him to a mental hospital, the old man must have suffered unimaginable pain from ordinary people, so he will show such eyes to protect himself. So Qian Xiaomo can't treat others as bad people just because he is not amiable at all.

To save people, we must save them to the end.

Qian Xiaomo took a deep breath, pointed to the ward in front of him and said, "This is it." ”

Lei Ming looked in the direction of Qian Xiaomo's finger, and Qian Xiaomo knocked lightly, but no one responded.

Qian Xiaomo knocked on the door again.

"Maybe it's not up yet?" Qian Xiaomo said and looked at Lei Ming.

Lei Ming just pushed open the door with an expressionless face, Qian Xiaomo was afraid that he would disturb the old man's rest, so he didn't have time to stop it, and with a bang, the door of the ward was pushed open. A cold gust of wind in the ward immediately rushed out, with a slight damp smell, which made people's noses very uncomfortable.

Qian Xiaomo looked towards the hospital bed, and looked around again in surprise, "He's not here?" ”

"Looks like I left last night."

Lei Ming's eyes were locked on the hospital bed, the neat bedding and sheets, it looked like no one had used them at all.

"But, didn't Miss Nurse just say that the old man lives here?"

"Maybe I was discharged, and the nurse didn't know yet."

"The old man's condition yesterday was very unstable, how could he be discharged from the hospital? Could it be that his son came to send him to a mental hospital? Qian Xiaomo immediately looked flustered, and grabbed Lei Ming's arm tightly, "We have to notify the police...... Find a way to ......"

Lei Ming didn't say anything, just stared at Qian Xiaomo's eyes quietly.

The room was unusually quiet, and the wind blew, and you could hear the sound of hair tangling in the air.

Qian Xiaomo trembled her eyelashes, slowly let go of Lei Ming's hand, and said weakly: "So, do you think the old man left by himself?" In order to...... In order not to be found by his own son and not to be escorted to a mental hospital by the police, the old man secretly ...... himself Sneaking out of the hospital? ”

Lei Ming didn't say anything, but Qian Xiaomo saw a thousand words from his pupils.

"Everyone has their own decisions and choices, and we can only respect them."

Lei Ming hugged Qian Xiaomo, she snuggled her side face against his chest, bit the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were full of regret.

"There are many things that we are powerless, and we can only try to do our best. Let's go, go back. ”

Lei Ming hugged Qian Xiaomo's slender waist, turned around, and slowly left with her.

At the moment when he closed the door of the ward, Lei Ming glanced at the hospital bed meaningfully, closed the door without saying a word, and left.

The curtain of the ward flipped twice, and then fell quietly down the wall to the ground as if nothing had happened.

At the bottom of the bed, near the foot of the bed, the tip of a black leather shoe looms out of the sheet. If it weren't for the sharp eyes, if you didn't look very closely, you wouldn't be noticed at all. And at this moment, the person hiding under the bed heard the sound of the door closing, and hurriedly withdrew the toe of his shoe that he couldn't hide too late. After Lei Ming and Qian Xiaomo opened the door, he didn't dare to move, and sometimes his position was more clearly exposed when he moved.

However, he didn't know if Lei Ming had discovered him, and his heart was uneasy.

In front of the elevator, Lei Ming suddenly slowed down, and Qian Xiaomo also stopped to look at him.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I suddenly want to eat pancakes, you go back to the ward first, I'll buy them." Lei Ming grinned.

"I'll go with you."

"Be good, obedient, wait for me in the ward."

As soon as Lei Ming's words landed, the upward elevator just stopped.

There are already a lot of people waiting for the elevator in front of the elevator, and it seems that they are all family members.

Qian Xiaomo was half-pushed by Lei Ming and walked in half-on-the-spot. She was worried about Lei Ming's injury and worried that his legs and feet would be inconvenient. Qian Xiaomo opened her mouth, and when she was about to say something, many people squeezed into the elevator one after another, and she was pressed into the innermost part, unable to squeeze out, and could only shout Lei Ming's name.

But Lei Ming just waved his hand and didn't speak, and finally the elevator door closed like this.

Almost at the same time, the smile on Lei Ming's face disappeared, the corners of his lips immediately shrugged, and when he looked back, his eyes were like a ruthless arrow off the string, staring straight at the ward at the end of the corridor. Frowning slightly, Lei Ming immediately turned around and hurried towards the ward with a cane, his pace on crutches was very fast, not like a person with a broken leg at all.

There was a "bang" sound, and the door to the ward was pushed open.

Lei Ming panted and strode over, slammed the corner of the sheet of the hospital bed with the cane in his hand, and bent down to see that the bottom of the bed was empty, and there was no one. Lei Ming frowned, gritted his teeth secretly, and finally came a step too late. But he was still not reconciled, and rummaged through every corner of the ward, and there was no one and no clues.

Lei Ming only took two minutes to go back and forth like this, and there was no other exit in the corridor, only the elevator was the only direction. And he deliberately tampered with the door when he left the gate, and if someone came in or out of the door, he would have seen it from the mark. But obviously, whether it is time or the mystery set by Lei Ming, it proves that no one went out of the door at all.

How is that possible?

"It's too late!"

Lei Ming grinned and slammed his fist on the white wall, a raging fire burning in his cold eyes.

Not surprisingly, it could only be the people of the Skeleton Alliance who were approaching Qian Xiaomo.

But who will it be, and for what purpose?

If you want to use Qian Xiaomo to blackmail yourself, you don't have to go to such great lengths to get close to Qian Xiaomo.

Lei Ming thought about it, and really couldn't guess what Quinn was doing this for.

The curtains in the ward were still flying, snow-white and light, like a ghost.

Lei Ming slowly raised his eyelids and noticed the window that had not been closed.

There are two windows in the entire room, one open and one closed.

Xiaomo said that the old man looks poor and has disabled legs, how can he afford to live in a single ward?

Lei Ming's doubts became heavier and heavier, and he slowly walked towards the open window on crutches.

If, no one enters or exits through the door, what about through the window?

This is the seventeenth floor, in the middle of the hospital inpatient building, it is difficult to climb up and down, could it be that you hide outside the window? Lei Ming squinted slightly, gradually lightened his steps, holding the cane tightly in his hand, always vigilant to use it as his own weapon.

At this time, the cold wind outside the window was mixed with ice slag, and it was extremely cold. Any bird or beast will choke on the cold, let alone a person hiding outside the window and lying on the wall. The back of the black shadow was clinging to the white wall behind him, and there were several old iron bars under his feet, which should have been the old air conditioning rack.

He stepped on it carefully, and from time to time he could hear the overwhelming sound of the bars. The hands wearing black leather gloves are spread out, and the palms of his hands are pressed into the white wall, the whole person is like a gecko, the only difference is that he is back against the wall instead of his chest. The unbridled winter wind blew, and the hem of the black leather coat fluttered in the wind, as if it was about to fall from the sky at any moment.

The shadow gritted its teeth and stared straight ahead, dizzy at the slightest glance down.

He didn't dare to let out a big breath, and held his breath, lest the slightest movement would attract Lei Ming's attention.

The black shadow knew that Lei Ming had turned back, and just as the black shadow came out from under the bed and wanted to open the door to leave, he noticed the mark left by Lei Ming on the door. The black shadow immediately knew that Lei Ming had discovered himself just now, and he also knew that Lei Ming would come back again, and his time was not enough, and the only way out was this window.

And now, Lei Ming also noticed that this window was the only place where people could hide.

This time, no one can escape!

Lei Ming's eyes twitched, he held his breath, stood in front of the window and suddenly leaned out his upper body!

The whole body of the black shadow is as stiff as iron!
