The Story of the Seventh World (30)
"Superintendent Hamilton, I'll take the rest of the officers to the third floor, and you stay on the first floor to dispatch the police force." Inspector Upton said as he looked at Superintendent Hamilton, who had a cold face.
"Alright! I went downstairs to contact the National Police Agency and report the situation here. With that, he walked downstairs.
"Corporal, go down too! It's not peaceful here. Inspector Upton saw Superintendent Hamilton walk downstairs, looked at Su and Hang again, and said.
"Inspector Upton, there aren't enough officers, we can help you!" Corporal Lynn looked at the two officers beside him and suggested.
"Okay, whatever you want!" Inspector Upton didn't want to waste time here, so he walked directly to the third floor with the only remaining police officers around him.
Su Hang and Corporal Lynn followed closely behind several police officers, and slowly walked up to the third floor step by step, Corporal Lynn, who was walking in front, paused, and Su Hang, who was behind him, almost bumped into him, "Corporal, what's wrong?" ”
Corporal Lynn didn't speak, but just took out a small pistol from his jacket pocket and handed it to Su Hang, and after Su Hang took it, he turned around and continued to follow the police officer in front.
Su Hang understood what Corporal Lynn meant, but he was afraid that he would be injured by the killer, and he didn't even have the ability to fight back. Corporal Lynn knew that Su Hang would use a gun, when Dean Charles's son James was attacked, Su Hang and Yaheng both shot to scare off the masked man, and it was impossible for a small gun like this not to know how to use it.
The situation on the third floor is currently that the killer is blocked in a ward at the end of the corridor, Buck Patrol led several police officers to block the penultimate ward at the end, and the two sides shoot back from time to time. The bullets rubbed off a large chunk of the cracked skin on the wall, and the air was filled with unfinished dust.
"Humph! It's time for this hospital to be repaired, and cheap materials will make this hospital pay sooner or later. The policeman, whose nose was covered in dust, was whining.
"Don't say that, the inside of the ward is still very clean, and the medical equipment is not much worse than other hospitals, but there is no extra money to decorate." Another police officer who had come to Butz Hospital to see a doctor said with some dissatisfaction.
As Corporal Lynn and his party went upstairs, the gunfire stopped, and it seemed that neither side wanted to waste too much ammunition, and just as the buffer ceasefire was taking place, Inspector Upton ordered a police officer to quickly come to Patrolman Buck's hospital room and ask what was going on.
"Inspector, the killer got several guns out of nowhere, and captured a female nurse as a hostage, Buck Patrol led several times to rush into the ward to save people, but the other party kept suppressing the fire, and retreated several times." The officers went as fast as they came back, and reported the news to Inspector Upton.
"It's really embarrassing! It's the first time I've ever encountered a gang of police officers who have been entangled in a goddamn killer. Inspector Upton's face sank like water, and he kept rubbing his fingers, a habit left over from the battlefield, and subconsciously rubbing his fingers whenever he encountered trouble.
Su Hang and Corporal Lynn didn't speak, standing behind Inspector Upton and the others, seeing that the other party had no solution, they were at a loss. When he could only wait for the support of the police department, Su Hang silently walked around several wards, and then called a police officer who had been replaced from Buck's patrol office and asked a few words. He patted Corporal Lynn on the shoulder and motioned for him to come with him.
"Chu, is there anything to avoid Inspector Upton and the others?" Corporal Lynn wondered what Su Hang was doing just now, but he didn't ask, he believed that Su Hang would say it if necessary.
"The hospital is surrounded by police officers on all sides, even if this killer captures a hostage, he can't escape, in this case, the other party can still exchange fire with the police officers so calmly, it shows that the other party has a way to escape, corporal, what do you think it will be?"
"I don't think the other party is trying to raid the hospital to get the attention of the police agency and escape from the chaos, right?" Corporal Lynn thought about it and said with a big brain.
"You're thinking too much, I've never thought that way, and just now I asked a police officer who was replaced from Buck how they met the murderer.
The police officer said that after hearing the gunshots, Patrolman Buck and the others ran into the corridor and found the police officer who had fallen to the ground and injured his shoulder. Su Hang looked at Corporal Lynn, who was suspicious, and said.
"Chu, you mean to say that the police officer has a problem?" Corporal Lynn understood what he meant after he finished talking in Suhang, and the police officer was pretending.
"For now, that's right." Su Hang nodded and said.
"Patrolman Buck is the person in charge of guarding the hospital today, does he know this officer?" Corporal Lynn raised his doubts.
"Corporal, I asked the police officers who were guarding the hospital from the time the bomb was found to the arson later, and I called a lot of police officers patrolling the perimeter. There were a lot of fresh faces among them, and they weren't suspicious of the new officers. Su Hang told Corporal Lynn what he had learned.
"Another doubt is ......"
Corporal Lynn was about to speak when Su Hang interrupted him.
"Corporal, what you want to say is why after the murderer left, there were still people fighting with Buck Patrol and the others, right?" Su Hang guessed the question that Corporal Lynn wanted to ask, and said in advance.
"No, Chu, according to what you said, the kidnapped person in that house is the one who exchanged fire with Buck, so why does the other party still insist on exchanging fire?" Corporal Lynn was puzzled by the other party's behavior.
"Corporal, when the image appears outside, it will be the time for a ceasefire." Su Hang said with an oath.
After a brief conversation between Su Hang and Corporal Lynn, it didn't take long for a ceasefire within ten minutes, and in the next two minutes, there was a sound of "fixed hammer" in the ward where the murderer was, and Inspector Upton and other police department personnel did not rush in, but became quiet in the room after that, and then slowly moved towards the ward where the murderer was.
To the surprise of Inspector Upton and others, this time they moved towards the ward where the murderer was, and there was no counterattack from the other party, and they came to the ward where the murderer was without worry, still looking into the room cautiously.
All the windows in the room to the outside world were wide open, the bedding on the hospital bed appeared scattered on the ground, several wooden chairs fell near the windows, most of the items in the room were toppled and some were broken, the fragments of the vase were scattered everywhere like withered flowers and leaves, and a female nurse in a white nurse's uniform with a muffin hat like a lampshade on her head fell prone to the ground near the chair by the window, and there were also some small fragments of the vase.
There was no one in the room except for the female nurse who fell to the ground, and the whole ward was in a state of chaos.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Inspector Upton's first thought was to save people, and immediately ordered Patrolman Buck to lead the police to carry the female nurse who was in danger out of the ward and to the first floor for treatment.
This scene was also seen by Corporal Lynn, Hel Suhang, who followed Inspector Upton and others into the ward, Su Hang was not surprised, but Corporal Lynn's pupils dilated instantly, obviously surprised by this, not because the murderer was gone, but as Su Hang guessed.
After carefully looking at the situation in the ward, Su Hang pulled Corporal Lynn out of the ward and said, "Let's go see the angel in white!" Hopefully she's not a fallen angel. ”
After speaking, Su Hang took the lead and walked downstairs, Corporal Lynn followed closely behind Su Hang, silently looking at the man in front of him, he really couldn't imagine what kind of environment a person grew up in, he could learn so many things, he didn't feel the youthful restlessness of young people in Su Hang's body, but like a young man's body lived the soul of a middle-aged and elderly person.
To tell the truth, after getting along for a while, Corporal Lynn had a suspicion that Su Hang was a secret spy secretly cultivated by another country to find out important information about his country. Judging from the known information, it is indeed as he said, but he believes that what happened in the city of London this time will definitely deepen Dean Charles's investigation of Su Hang.
But for now, before finding out the details of this kid, Dean Charles will still "greet him with a smile", after all, he is his son's savior.
Su Hang and Corporal Lynn came to the atrium on the first floor one after another, and the flames had been extinguished at this time, and the nearby police station sent a police car to take the arrested murderer away.
When Corporal Lynn came to the first floor again, all kinds of strange smells in the air had been cleared, and the police officers were busy scattered, and they didn't see Superintendent Hamilton who started to come down, probably going to the police station in the West End.
The Metropolitan Police Department of the City of London is not yet perfect, Scotland Yard, that is, the Police Department, is the highest police center in the City of Greater London, and the place where Su Hang and Corporal Lynn are located is the City of London, which is divided into two regions, the West End is the aristocratic area in the real sense, and the nobles with money and status are all in the West End. Once forgotten and erased from the map of London, the East End is the Black Zone.
Both districts have corresponding police stations, but the police stations in the eastern district are virtually nonexistent, basically nothing happens, as long as there is no major incident, it is common to "disappear" a few people, and the police station is used to it.
In order to facilitate management, the National Police Agency has placed police stations in both wards, and several police stations have been set up in important street areas. There are also police stations in the eastern district, but there are only two, and for the sake of safety, they are still located not far from the police station.
Police stations generally house 5 to 6 police officers, and there will be more than 10 police officers in important areas.
Butz Hospital is located between the East and West Districts, a little easterly in terms of geographical location, but because it is a civilian hospital, it has a long history, there is a police station nearby, the number of people is basically maintained at 6 people on duty, generally nothing happens, it is good to have two people in the house, and the rest are in a nearby bar that can play billiards.
Su Hang followed Corporal Lynn to the first floor, and without seeing Superintendent Hamilton, he casually pulled a police officer from the corridor who was dealing with the scene and asked, "What about the police officer who was taken down from the upper floor not long ago and was wounded by a gunshot?" ”
"Corporal, I didn't see the officer you were talking about." The officer who was pulled replied truthfully.
"Okay, get busy with you!" Corporal Lynn waved for the other to leave.
After the police left, Su Hang looked at Corporal Lynn and said: "The monitoring outside the hospital has not been revoked, and everyone who leaves will have a record, let's look for it first." ”
The first floor searched every corner, but did not find the two police officers who came down from the third floor just now, Su Hang and Corporal Lynn returned to the position at the staircase again, and found a young police officer to let the other party go to the third floor to tell Upton Inspector The female nurse should be closely monitored and must not let the other party leave without permission.
The little police officer heard that things were unusual from the tone of Su and Hangzhou, and immediately ran towards the third floor to convey Corporal Lynn's words.
At the same time, Su Hang and Corporal Lynn left the hospital and went to the small restaurant opposite the hospital, where they met the person in charge of monitoring the hospital. Corporal Lynn directly asked if the officer with the gunshot wound had ever appeared, but the news was that he had not been seen.
Su Hang frowned, rolled his eyes and asked, "Are there any weird people in and out of the hospital?" ”
"Weird people?"
"Yes, a person with a height of more than one meter and eight meters went out from the side door of the hospital, a gray coat, black pants, and a black trouser leg, I don't know what it is, a gray top hat, the collar is very high, I can't see my face clearly, and I left through the side door in a hurry." The person in charge of monitoring thought for a moment and said.
"How long has it been?" Corporal Lynn then asked.
"I left ten minutes ago."
"Is anyone following?" Su Hang asked.
"It's a little weird to dress up, and someone followed.
Someone came back and said he had entered an apartment on Seas Road, Cambridge, in the West End Bethnal Green. "The person in charge of surveillance told Corporal Lynn what he had just gotten.
"Arrange a few more people to monitor, and if there is an accident, arrest them directly." Corporal Lynn commanded as he watched the monitors.
"Yes, sir."
"What about the female nurse?" On the way back to the hospital, Su Hang and Corporal Lynn asked.
"Chu, in fact, don't worry so much, since the female nurse is a victim, she will be interrogated for a long time after she wakes up, so she won't let him leave so easily." Corporal Lynn said lightly, with his own understanding of the Police Agency, how could he be wrong.
"That's right, I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry!" Su Hang listened to Corporal Lynn's words and thought that he had participated too much, which made Corporal Lynn a little bored, so he persuaded himself.
"Chu, let's talk to Inspector Upton and go see Mr. Selt!" Corporal Lynn did not notice Su Hang's anomaly, but proposed to see Yaheng and them.
"Okay!"
The two of them did not walk quickly, but because of the proximity of the hospital, the two soon walked into the lobby on the first floor of the hospital, and happened to see Inspector Upton and Superintendent Hamilton who came out of an unknown corner and escorted the "rescued" female nurse to the outside of the hospital.
"Inspector Upton, what's wrong?" Corporal Lynn, who saw this scene, asked in shock.
Operations stumbled upon a wanted fugitive, and after a "friendly" conversation, it was revealed that he had been hiding in a speakeasy in the East End, where bounties were often hung. ”
"He said that a Frenchman once came to the bar, went to the receptionist there, and hung up a task asking a brave and meticulous warrior who was not afraid of death to complete a series of tasks, and after completing it, there would be a double bounty." (The series of tasks referred to here is a series of tasks that need to be executed together, and there will be a bounty for completing a single task.) )
