Chapter 163: The Quiet Courtyard
In the halls of the hospital, people sit listlessly. The scene was the same as before.
Eric quickly swept his eyes over one patient after another. But that vision was completely different from the previous one.
How much of this listlessness is caused by taking anesthetic powder? He didn't have time to think about the answer, because he had more important things to do.
Running up the stairs and turning the cloister, Eric re-entered Catherine's hospital room.
The door was open, and several beds in the room were empty.
"Damn it!"
Eric was in a state of panic. He couldn't have gone to the wrong place, the big hole he had left in the wall was still there.
What did the guys at the hospital do to Catherine?
At this point, it's obviously better to figure out what's going on as quickly as possible than to speculate.
Eric ran out of the room and found a nurse in the cloister. He stepped forward and grabbed the other man's arm.
"Where's the people in that ward?" he asked.
"You're hurting me. The nurse shouted as she wrenched free of Eric's arm.
"I'm sorry. Eric immediately let go of his hand, and it was only then that he realized that he had unconsciously used too much force.
The nurse moved her arm and grumbled a few more times before answering Eric's question.
It turned out that the patients inside had been transferred to other places by the staff due to the large hole that had been smashed into this ward. But after asking where Catherine was, Eric couldn't help but frown.
Only she is different from other patients. The place to go is a separate building located not far from the back of the hospital. It is only one storey and is older than the main building of the hospital.
"The people there are all patients who are in a coma due to illness. ”
The nurse's words seemed to explain their reasons for doing so.
But Eric doesn't think so, Catherine will wake up at any moment. She was apparently brought there for some other reason.
Hopefully, it's still too late.
...
When Eric walked through the gate, he found it eerily quiet.
Not only was it empty, but the doors of every ward were closed, except for the one at the end of the long corridor.
As if to guide him.
Eric reached out and tried to turn the doorknob of the nearest door, but he couldn't open it. It seemed that he could only go to the open door.
The atmosphere is getting weirder and weirder.
Uneasy, Eric took a step. Hard-soled shoes make a "click, click" sound when they hit the floor, and these sounds echo against the wall. Cycle.
The sound pervades the entire space.
Finally, Eric walked over to the door and peered in.
There was only one large bed in the room, and it was Catherine who lay on it.
Eric rushed in without thinking.
Although as a detective, at this time, it is more important to judge whether everything in front of you is a trap. But just now, his body involuntarily moved first.
In front of her, Catherine, who was asleep, had a serene expression. Nothing seems to have happened.
Eric was anxious to confirm one thing. So, he put one hand on Catherine's shoulder and began to shake it regularly.
"Hey, wake up!" he tried to wake her up. But it didn't work at all.
Catherine remained unconscious.
"What are you doing? She needs to rest! Are you just waiting to talk to your girl?"
Turning her head to look, Vess asked as she stood within the doorframe with a look of surprise and bewilderment. Eric didn't even notice when she was there.
"What did you do to her?" he asked loudly.
To be honest, fearing for Catherine's safety made Eric's decision even more hasty. As a detective, Eric became so reckless for the first time.
Hearing Eric's words, Weiss suddenly laughed and said, "What will I do, isn't your baby in a coma from the beginning?" Like I'm going to hurt her......"
"Less garlic!What the hell did you feed her!She'd woken up once before, how could she not wake her up now!" Eric finally roared. He couldn't have understood what he meant.
Overdose of anesthetic powder can cause coma.
"You... What do you mean?" asked Weiss, whose expression had clearly changed, with a wary expression. Although it was a question, she also vaguely understood what Eric's words meant.
"You should know best what I mean. Miss Nurse Weiss. Eric replied defiantly. He believed that this sentence would make the nurse tell the truth.
Sure enough, the next moment, a distorted face appeared on Weiss's face.
"You got it?"
For the first time, Weis's voice was so cold.
Eric was silent. He felt that he had no need to lie, or that anger had made him lose the idea. Although this is not in line with the battle he had previously formulated with Io.
So Weiss got the answer from Eric's face. She spoke slowly again:
"I knew that when the madman who jumped off the building ran out, things could be exposed at any time, and I had already sent someone to track down that person's whereabouts... Looks like you're one step faster. ”
It seems that Io's decision to move his stronghold was a wise decision. At the same time, it is especially important to note the words "I have sent someone" in Weiss's mouth. This shows that Weiss plays a particularly important role in the business of the hospital as a whole.
So, at least she's a cadre, or a higher-level person, the hospital correspondent of the "Crow".
"May I assume that you are pleading guilty to your crimes?"
Eric clearly didn't expect Weiss to admit it so simply.
Vess smiled, "Sort of." I think if the agents at the Pelos Police Station were as good as you, our business would have ended long ago. ”
Eric remembers that he never revealed his identity as a police detective to Vessy.
The nurse replied empathetically without waiting for a question: "It's not hard to guess, not at all." Your girl Catherine's admission registers her status as a police officer, and you are her man. And we can track down that madman before our people and investigate the facts behind it. I don't even believe you if you're not a detective. ”
"But I didn't expect you to confess so easily to a detective. ”
As if hearing something particularly funny, Weiss couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh a few times, and then said:
"I'm telling you so easily because I have no intention of letting you out of here, Mr. Detective. ”
