Chapter Seventy-Eight: Dinner

It's already dark outside the window, and the noise downstairs is quieting, and Chicago at night outside the window is like a Christmas tree with colorful lights, bright and brilliant in the dark.

The afternoon's events finally showed signs of subsidence, the follow-up commissioner of the executive department efficiently completed the finishing work after arriving at the scene, all the witnesses were taken for hypnotic brainwashing work, the signs of battle in the hall were faked into the scene of a shootout, and only a false rumor was needed to the media, and the riot in the hospital this afternoon could be perfectly disguised as a 'robbery' case.

As for why someone would choose to rob the hospital?

God knows, after all, the murderer has been killed, and the corpse will not get up and speak.

In the war conference room across the street, Ryder and Goliath are probably still sorting out mission-related matters, and all the freshmen have been sent to the Chicago train station to go directly to Kassel College, only the more seriously injured commissioner stayed in the hospital for observation, after all, the medical and surgical departments of the North and South Memorial Hospital are also relatively famous in Chicago.

Even if Lin Nian was one of the people who was hospitalized for observation, after taking a brain CT scan, it was confirmed that there was no bleeding, but the sequelae of the concussion were more serious, and the injuries to the skin and tendons on his body still needed to be changed, so he simply lay down in the hospital for another day or two and continued to be a patient with Helena for some time.

Speaking of Helena... Fortunately, Helena was not injured, at most her skin was scratched a little, and it was fine to put an OK bandage, but her hands were tightly wrapped in bandages, and it seemed that she was a little sprained and nothing serious, and the reason for the coma at that time was probably excessive shock and a heavy blow to the neck, but otherwise everything was fine.

Helena woke up an hour or two after the matter ended, and at that time, the executive department had already sent her back to the ward, and the task of comforting the person concerned naturally fell on Lin Nian, and now there is this scene.

"And then? And then what happened! In ward 1201, Helena's eyes widened, and her hands crossed the interval to Lin Nian's bed, and asked excitedly.

"And ah... Then one of the policemen suddenly opened fire! Shout out a robbery! Lin Nian's right hand was aimed at Helena like a gun, Helena was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised her hand to her chest.

"Then everyone fell to the ground with their heads in their hands, and only the murderer was still running with you." Lin Nian continued: "At this time, one of the heroic policemen pounced and kicked the murderer's foot, this is it. ”

Lin Nian bent his knees and pressed his foot socket: "This move is often used in fighting techniques, and it is easy to make enemies who weigh higher than you fall to the ground at the attack joints, and the murderer fell directly to the ground with his face at that time, almost not holding the hostage on his waist." ”

"And then? And then what? Helena listened intently, without the slightest realization that she was a hostage on the murderer's waist.

Then, two other policemen pounced directly, one hugged his arm, and the other locked the murderer's throat, and the murderer could only raise his hand and surrender. Lin Nian stretched out his hand to pinch Helena's neck, but he didn't expect Helena to take the initiative to lean over and stick it up, holding Lin Nian's hand with both hands and sticking out his tongue vigorously and said, "The murderer must have been very uncomfortable at that time." ”

Lin Nian couldn't help but pause when he felt the girl's delicate skin, and his face hung helplessly, holding Helena's arms with both hands and carrying her back to his bed: "Don't fall down." ”

"Has the murderer been subdued like this?" Helena exhaled.

"No, the murderer is dead." Lin Nian said: "He struggled too hard and was considered by the police to be suspected of fighting back, and he was shot in the head, and now the body should have been sent to the morgue." ”

Helena was stunned for a moment, and Lin Nian smiled: "But now you can rest assured." ”

"So you know." Helena lay on the pillow and gently touched the back of her white hand.

"I found out later, it turns out that the murderer has been against you before." Lin Nian smiled lightly and said, "Helena, you are really brave and can do things that others dare not do." ”

"I just can't help it." Helena sighed softly: "Even if I go home, the other party will find another time to start, I can't go out for the rest of my life, so I can only cooperate with the police... Richard, I'm sorry you've been implicated as a result. ”

"Are you talking about that?" Lin Nian touched the gauze on the back of his head, looked at the bandage on his body and smiled bitterly: "That's my own bad luck, I happened to be standing at the door of the toilet, the murderer pushed me when he came out, and then I was trampled by the crowd of onlookers." ”

"It's still my fault, if only I hadn't thought about going downstairs to see the stars."

"It's a good thing to think about it another way." Lin Nian shook his head: "Although the situation is dangerous, at least we killed a serial murder case, didn't we?" ”

"By the way, what about Carlisle Capet? She's not hurt, is she? Helena asked curiously.

"No, she should be admitted to the hospital now, right? On the eleventh or thirteenth floor? I heard it seemed like it was right up and down with us. ”

"That's good, if she's hurt, I'll probably blame myself to death." Helena patted her chest.

"You're just a victim, where can you have so much responsibility." Lin Nian said: "No one will hurt you now, so recuperate with peace of mind." ”

"The murderer... Do you see what Richard looks like? Helena hesitated and asked.

"Didn't you see his face?" Lin Nian was a little surprised.

"The first time it was too dark to see, the second time... I didn't know anything and fainted when I heard a gunshot. Helena touched her snow-white neck, and fear inevitably passed in her eyes.

"It's scary." Lin Nian recalled: "His face is full of horizontal meat, and he is not a good person at first glance." ”

"That's a good person if you're pretty?" Helena pointed to her face: "I'm so beautiful, and I have deceived so many boys' feelings!" ”

"It's just that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer." Lin Nian smiled helplessly.

"Speaking of which, why did the murderer peel the faces of those girls?" Helena lay on the pillow and touched her face and sighed: "So many beautiful girls are..."

"I've heard that serial murders usually start with victims who have had a shadow of childhood." Lin Qingsheng said: "Because they are flawed, because they have suffered serious psychological trauma, they will retaliate against the society and others for what they have lost." ”

"You're saying the killer could be... Victim? Helena didn't understand.

"Psychologically deformed, traumatized, he may have been a poor man, but now he's dead." Lin Nian said: "There will always be some reason for people like this to make them what they are now. ”

"Richard is very gentle." Helena looked at Lin Nian: "I still think about the murderer." ”

"He may have been able to do good, but he chose to follow evil, and I shouldn't have said that, because I didn't know him at all." Lin Nian said: "Probably he won't give me a chance to get to know him." ”

"Seeing that you are so good-looking, maybe the murderer will empathize and fall in love with you." Helena burst out laughing.

"Don't talk about that." Lin Nian waved his hand.

"Is Richard going back to Brooklyn after healing from his injury?" Helena asked.

"Probably, I'll continue to study in high school when I go back." Lin Nian tilted his head and simply did the show to the end.

"Richard's grades must be good, right?"

"It's okay, I'm quite confident in the exam." Lin Nian nodded.

"The conditions at home are also good."

"Average."

"Richard, do you know why I like you so much?" Helena asked with a smile as she looked at Lin Nian with a blush.

"Why?" Lin Nian was puzzled.

"Because sometimes looking at Richard is like looking at a copy of himself." Helena stared at Lin Nian and said seriously.

"Where are we like?" Lin Nian asked curiously.

"A lot of places." Helena tilted her head.

"More specifically?"

"I won't tell you." Helena tilted her head and smiled, "Are you hungry?" We're having a big dinner tonight! I'm in for a treat! ”

With that, Helena stood up and clapped her hands, the lights in the ward suddenly went out, the door opened, and the waiter came in with a cart with two silver plates and a candlestick, and the candlelight cast the shadows of the two on the snow-white wall.

"Wow, candlelight dinner." Lin Nian was a little shocked.

"Steak feast! Chef Alinea made it especially for us! A gift that my dad prepared for me to celebrate the closure of the FBI! Helena motioned for the waiter to push the cart between the two beds, and when the silver lid was lifted, there was a hot steak with sauce, delicately arranged like a work of art, and the enticing aroma quickly filled the room.

"That's so embarrassing."

"I'm sorry." Helena said, "I have heard about it, and you were injured because you were in a hurry to save me. ”

"I can't watch you get taken away." Lin Nian rubbed his hands, he never refused to come to the delicious food.

"But a lot of people will probably die." Helena sat on the edge of the bed, leaning her hands on the makeshift dining table made of a cart, propping her cheeks and looking at Lin Nian through the candlelight.

"I have to go, or more people will die." Lin Young laughed, but he immediately realized that he didn't do anything in the Helena version of the story, just a passerby watching the whole process, and immediately continued: "Although I didn't help much." ”

"I'm sorry." Helena said suddenly.

"I'm sorry what?" Lin Nian rubbed the knife and fork.

"I lied to you before, and I didn't tell you the fact that I was chased by the murderer, which is very dangerous and unfair to you." Helena smiled.

"If it's worth saying I'm sorry, I'll have more time to be sorry in the future." Lin Nian said jokingly.

"You mean to accept my request for a relationship?" Helena also picked up the knife and fork in her hand, tilted her head to reveal a good-looking smile, and the silhouette of candlelight was reflected in her eyes.

"Eat first!" Lin Nian wisely avoided the topic.

"Okay, eat!"

"For justice!" Lin Nian raised the table knife with a serious face, Helena was stunned for a moment, and also raised the table knife to "fight" with him, and made a crisp voice: "For justice!" ”

In the candlelight, Lin Nian and Helena were laughing, and the two intertwined knives reflected the candle flames.
