Chapter Twenty-Four: Who Did He See?
Every word I said to Li Hao before was meaningless, I had been seen through by him, he saw through my lies, and I was still self-righteous, I felt good about myself, and I thought that all my words were seamless.
He's not the kind of person who doesn't speak in proportion and will talk about a case that the police are working on to a stranger.
He is playing the emotional card, knowing it with reason and moving with emotion, and taking my words. He put all the stakes in front of my eyes, the murder twenty years ago, the murder four days ago, the killer who would appear at any time, an old policeman who was chased and killed, and all the clues that were closely related to it are now in my hands.
But why is he so sure, believing that I won't, to tell all these things? Is it because he sees me through and knows that I won't say it?
The last words he said clearly knew that the box was in my hand, but why did he give up like this?
He is a policeman, and he has every right to let me hand over things that don't belong to me, not to mention, if what is hidden in this box is really a file, then it belongs to the police department.
Could it be that he wants to give me the opportunity to make my own decisions whether to hand over or not. Impossible, in my eyes, although he has reversed his identity and is a sharp-thinking policeman, he is by no means a fox immortal who can see the future, even I don't know what decisions he will make in the future, how can he know.
Could it be that he didn't know that the box was in my hand, and those words were just deceiving me, just exploring the truth?
Chu Man patted me behind him: "Hey, what are you doing in a daze?" ”
I was taken aback, turned around, and said angrily, "You're going to scare people to death like this." ”
Chu Man whispered: "Believe it this time, Li Hao is not a bad person, he is a policeman, let's not keep this box, you also heard, there is a group of bad guys looking for Grandpa Zhang, I'm afraid it's also for this box, what it contains, it must be the evidence of their crime, this is a bomb, let's hand it over to the police." ”
I shook my head and said, "No." ”
"Why not? You're crazy, it's not a treasure map, it's a bomb. ”
"If it can be handed over to the police, then why didn't Grandpa Zhang do it, but handed it over to a stranger, explaining that there must be some reason, he doesn't trust the police."
"You say, who did he see outside the window in a panic today?"
"Who saw whom?" I asked absentmindedly.
"Grandpa Zhang, did he see the murderer, or did he see the police?"
Hearing Chu Man's words, I couldn't help but be surprised, yes, this whole day, what made me feel wrong was here.
If he saw the police, listening to Li Hao's description, he and Uncle Zhang had a good relationship, so he wouldn't let him run away in panic.
Could it be that he was outside the window and saw a killer?
No, hurry back to the ward, thinking of this, I took Chuman's hand and ran out.
Chu Man was startled, and said while shaking my hand: "What are you doing, running for your life, what are you running." ”
I whispered, "Shhh ”
When Chu Man heard this, he immediately followed me, ran all the way to the seventh floor, returned to Ward 723, and closed the door with a bang, so that the two of us dared to take a breath.
Li Hao and his entourage have left, and there are only four little guys left in this ward, and the food sprinkled on the ground has also been cleaned up.
These guys, so easily, took up my bed and slept in a row. On this day, they were also tired, although most of all, they were gossiping about me.
Still not at ease, I opened the door carefully, looked left and right, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, most of the patients were asleep, the nurses also returned to the duty room, the long corridor was empty.
Gently closed the door, and asked Chu Man in horror: "Do you remember, what time was the order?" ”
"What, you're hungry again?"
"I haven't eaten yet, I'm asking you about business."
Chu Man sat down on the edge of Uncle Zhang's empty bed, and recalled with his eyes and said: "Well, I think about it, the doctor said that you are weak, and asked you what you have eaten today, when I ordered a meal for you, probably, it seems to be less than one o'clock, because the waiter who answered the phone said that it is meal time, and the takeaway will be delivered slowly, I glanced at it after making the call, and I can't remember the time on the phone, but I vaguely remember that the number is more than 12 o'clock, not 13." Ask what this is for. ”
I thought in my heart, less than a point, the takeaway brother also said, today in the store, there are a lot of people who call to order takeout, even if it is very busy, it is my turn to take out the order, it is an hour later, then he sets off from the store, even if it is two o'clock, the road is giving him an extra half an hour, and the time when he encounters a car accident is half past two.
Needless to say, he encountered the second car accident, and the occupants of the car died instantly.
The takeaway brother, from the scene of the crime, was questioned by the police for a long time, and returned to the restaurant, the second time it was brought to me, before eating, I looked at my watch, it was half past six in the evening, and I clearly remembered that after half an hour, I was going to fast.
After thinking about it carefully, the doctor told me that I would have to take blood for a test tomorrow, and that I should not eat any food after seven o'clock in the evening.
The two of us were outside the door, quarreling a few words, and it didn't take a few minutes, when we returned to the house, Zhang Damin was looking out the window, looking panicked, handed me the box, and left.
That is to say, the car accident that occurred at half past two, the people in the car died on the spot, Zhang Damin at half past four, what he saw could not be the killer who had died, and it could not be Li Hao, if it was Li Hao who was seen, he didn't need to be so nervous.
It could only be that after the accidental death of the first killer, the second killer who was sent, and this person was still known to Zhang Damin, because he could find the crisis in the crowd at a glance.
This is the inpatient department, located at the back of the hospital, looking out of the window, is the backyard of the hospital, opposite the emergency building, is the main entrance of the hospital.
Moreover, this ward is on the seventh floor, and during the day, from the front outpatient clinic to the back inpatient department, there are many people coming in and out, and if you look down from above, it is difficult to distinguish at a glance if you are not a very familiar figure.
Even if a police officer has been engaged in criminal investigation work for many years, if it is not the characteristics of the murderer, how can he see it at a glance.
I quickly filtered everything that happened today in my mind, Zhang Damin retired policeman, for some reason, used Li Guomin's pseudonym, pretending to be a patient to live in the hospital.
The policeman of Li Hao's Criminal Investigation Brigade, Li Guomin's son, has a very good relationship with Zhang Damin, he came to the hospital to find Zhang Damin, but he found a killer and has already targeted Zhang Damin.
The killer is suspected of being related to the murder that happened four days ago, Zhang Damin was the police officer in charge of investigating a murder 20 years ago, and the two cases that are 20 years apart have many similarities, according to Li Hao, it is likely that the same group of people did it.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel that I was shocked into a cold sweat, I don't know if the killer is already lurking in this hospital, how much has he heard about today's farce, and whether Grandpa Zhang has successfully escaped.
Seeing Chu Man sitting listlessly on the edge of the bed, although this crazy girl is heartless and doesn't know how to be afraid, it is also very hard.
Now I don't know if we are safe, whether the killer is staring in the dark, there is always a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, and Chu Man is not safe here.
Pushing her, Chu Man raised her head sleepily, and I said to her, "It's so late, you should go home too, otherwise my uncle will be worried." ”
"Are you okay here alone?"
"What can it be, isn't there still four young masters with you?"
"Oh, then I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow."
"Wait a minute, it's too dangerous for you to go back by yourself, make a phone call, let Uncle Lin or the driver pick you up, and give me the box."
Chu Man was lazy, took out the box from his bag, put it in my hand, and said, "I'll just take the car back by myself, and I'm not a child." ”
"You'd better make a call and have someone pick you up, it's too dangerous."
"Okay, I'm not so squeamish, you should rest early, pay attention to safety, don't talk to strangers, see bones, don't run along, be careful of being slaughtered."
I opened the door angrily and said, "Good night." ”
"Well, good night, don't run after the bones."
"Lin Chuman, I'm not a dog..."
Chu Man giggled a few times, trotted all the way, arrived at the elevator, and did not forget to turn back to me and gesticulate, what she said, I didn't hear a word, because everyone was asleep, so she didn't dare to speak loudly, I waved my hand at her perfunctorily.
It wasn't until I watched her get on the elevator that I went back to my room and closed the door.
On this day, frightened, tired and hungry, nineteen years combined, there was no wonderful day, and a series of inexplicable and even more inexplicable events occurred.
I can only pray that the killer didn't catch Grandpa Zhang, nor did he suspect me, and when the time comes, return the box to him and return to my pet hospital, and the world will be peaceful from now on.
Wait, when he left, he didn't say when he would come back, and he didn't say where, where, or when he traded, and how I would return it to him.
He liked, just said, that he would come back when things settle down.
But when will things settle down? I can't stay in the hospital all the time.
Helplessly, he picked up the phone and dialed Chu Man's number: "Hey, are you in the car?" ”
"Well, you're in a taxi, why haven't you slept yet?"
"When you get home, give me a call."
"Why? Why are you like an aunt, so nagging. ”
"I'm worried about your safety. Oh, by the way, you know the dean. ”
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Familiar?"
"Hmm."
"He, how is the person, is it good."
"Why are you asking this, my uncle already has a wife, don't beat other people's ideas."
This girl is almost angry with me, she has been treating me as a slave, and now I don't even have an ominous gender: "It's nothing, I'm talking about it tomorrow, after I go back, rest early, good night." ”
"Got it, auntie, good night, hang up."
