Chapter 91: A Bloody Massacre
As yesterday, Annie's hospital was still busy, but Adeline was relieved, because the patients who came were all the same patients she had seen yesterday, and there was no need to re-diagnose them, just give them the pills they had just made.
When Leo arrived, Adeline sat down, looking at a copy of Sylvia Belmont's Adventures that had just arrived.
She didn't know why Grandma Anne hated Sylvia Belmont so much, and threw her books into the furnace and burned them, causing her to lose a rare copy of the Golden Valley Adventures.
She would never have brought Sylvia Belmont to the hospital on a normal basis, but Anne wasn't in the hospital lately and seemed to be busy with other things, just so she didn't have to worry about her books being burned.
And more importantly, when she had just seen the key yesterday, the plot of the book had kept her from working all day, and she almost saw the wrong illness several times, and finally she decided to read the book in one sitting while she was resting, so as not to always remember whether Sylvia had stolen the gem from the Golden Valley.
However, God didn't want Adeline to see the rest of the story, and just as her eyes fell on the book, Leo pushed the door open from the outside and walked in.
"They're fine, it's fine. Adeline reluctantly put down the book and spoke directly to Leo.
Leo shook his head and asked, "I'm not asking Nelson about them, I'm asking if a woman named Emily came here to look for me today, probably this tall person, with curly brown hair, a small round face, freckles on her face, and dark blue eyes." ”
Leo gestured as he described Emily's appearance in detail.
"Oh! so you like women like that. Hearing Leo describe Emily's appearance through the image of the paracerebral system, Adeline was clearly misunderstood, and smiled at Leo as if I understood.
Leo didn't explain, just looked at Adeline quietly.
Not seeing the desired reaction, Adeline pouted rather boredly, then shook her head and said, "No, all the people who came to the hospital today are residents of Red House Street, and they didn't see any faces." ”
"Are you sure?" Leo frowned.
"Absolutely. Adeline nodded in affirmation.
"That's weird!" muttered Leo, he clearly remembered that he had mentioned to Emily about investing in a flower shop, and the other party's attitude was so excited, it was almost like fulfilling her lifelong dream, but now that the opportunity came, she didn't show up, it was really unreasonable.
"I'm afraid something happened!" Leo felt an indescribable sense of foreboding, frowned, walked out of the hospital quickly, and immediately stopped a carriage and ordered to go to the barrel alley.
Soon the carriage reached the entrance of the barrel alley, and Leo got out of the car, because he didn't know where Emily lived, so he was about to grab a child who was playing around and let him lead the way, but then he saw a lot of people gathered in front of the alley, as if something had happened, and the ominous feeling in his heart reappeared.
Leo walked over quickly, pushing the crowd straight into the room.
I saw that in front of a very ordinary three-story apartment building, the police had blocked the entrance, and the people around were talking about what was going on.
"It's so pitiful, the whole family is dead!"
"Her husband died so miserably, I heard that the skin was plucked!"
"Did you offend the gangsters?"
"Didn't her parents live in Fish City?"
"I heard that I came to see my daughter yesterday, but I didn't expect ......"
Hearing this, Leo could already vaguely deduce that the person who had the accident was Emily's family, but he still needed to confirm it, and asked a person next to him who was watching the excitement, "May I ask if the person who had the accident is called Emily?"
"Yes, you know Emily?" replied the man, looking at Leo's dress, feeling that Leo didn't look like a man from the Civilian District.
After receiving the confirmed answer, Leo stepped forward and when the police stopped him, he said, "I know the person who happened to me, and I want to go in and have a look." ”
The policeman blocking the way looked at the person in front of him with a displeased face, and said, "Everyone here knows this family, if everyone wants to ......"
"I also know your chief inspector, Ljungberg. Leo said calmly.
"You ......" the policeman was stunned, and was about to say something.
"Let him in. At this moment, a voice came from inside the apartment building, and I saw Ljungberg come out of the dark apartment building, look at Leo, and say, "Come with me!"
Leo pushed aside the cop in front of him, followed Ljungberg, and walked into the apartment building, stepping on the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor.
Ljungberg, who led the way in front, said as he walked: "Someone saw that the victim was sent back to the entrance of the alley in a carriage last night, that person can't be you, right?"
"Victim?" Leo didn't think about anything else, but was stunned and asked in a deep voice, "Emily is not dead?"
"Not dead yet, but almost dead. Ljungberg walked into a police apartment on the second floor.
Leo followed, and saw that the walls of the room were covered in blood, and a skinned man had been nailed to the wall, and in front of the man, a bunch of elderly couples had their eyes gouged out, their tongues cut out, and the vertebrae of their necks had been ripped out, and then made into a confessional pose.
The scene in front of him, though bloody, was only a small one for Leo, and he didn't care about these things at all, but turned to Ljungberg and asked, "What about Emily?"
As he entered, Ljungberg had been observing Leo's expression, apparently taking Leo for a suspect.
However, this time he wanted to confirm whether Leo was the murderer, which was much more difficult than the time in the park, because Leo did not show any emotion at all.
After seeing this bloody scene, Leo did not show the excitement and excitement that only a murderer can have, nor did he show the disgust and panic of ordinary people, and he was completely like watching some ordinary things without any emotion.
Although it is not possible to tell from Leo's performance that he has any connection to the murder in front of him, Ljungberg is certain that the guy in front of him is definitely a terrible guy.
After hearing Leo's questioning, Ljungberg hesitated for a moment, but led Leo to the room opposite the murder scene.
I saw Emily lying on the bed with a pale face, unconscious, and next to her sat a policewoman, wiping Emily's neck and forehead with a warm towel from time to time.
Leo immediately stepped forward to check Emily's body, and the policewoman tried to stop her, but was stopped by Ljungberg.
Ljungberg watched as Leo skillfully examined various parts of Emily's body, and soon Leo found a small wound in the major artery in his neck.
The wound was small as if a needle had been pricked into it, and in light of Emily's blood loss, Leo understood what had happened to Emily.
Then he reached out and grabbed Emily's wrist, carefully feeling Emily's faint pulse, and judging how much blood Emily still had in her body by the frequency and strength of the pulse.
"A third?" After seeing the answer given by the auxiliary brain system, Leo couldn't help but let out an exclamation, because Emily only had a third of the blood left in her body, and Emily was still alive, which was absolutely impossible in Leo's past cognition.
Hearing Leo's exclamation, Ljungberg's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with something in his words: "Yes! With only one-third of your blood, it's amazing that you can draw conclusions just by examining it." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Leo looked at Ljungberg coldly.
"It's not interesting!" Ljungberg didn't look at Leo, but turned to look at Emily who was lying on the bed, and said, "I just think this woman is very strong, and even I am amazed by the willpower to survive, but unfortunately no one can save her, I can only watch her die slowly." ”
At this moment, Leo suddenly turned around, wrapped Emily in a thin sheet, and then picked her up and walked outside.
"What do you want to do?" Ljungberg asked in a hurry, confused by Leo's actions.
"Save her!" Leo said coldly.
Then, Leo jumped out of the small window on the second floor with Emily in his arms, and then stepped on the railing outside, and the whole person seemed to have lost its weight, and landed on the roof of the opposite building.
Eight o'clock agility, coupled with ten points of physique, made Leo's speed reach a speed that ordinary people can never reach, plus when he ran, he consciously let his feet release spiritual energy, to achieve the role of cushioning and assisting, so that his speed continued to increase, and in the back turned into a phantom.
The distance that would have taken twenty minutes to reach by carriage was cut short to less than three minutes by him.
When Leo landed at the entrance of Anne's Hospital, the psionic energy released from his feet was not enough to counteract all gravity, and the powerful force trampled the ground into a depression of several centimeters, and the surrounding houses also vibrated slightly due to the fluctuations caused by the force under his feet.
Once Leo stabilized himself, he walked into the hospital with Emily in his arms.
At this moment, Adeline was still comforting the patients around her for the shaking of the ground just now, and was about to say something when she saw Leo come in, but Leo ignored him, and walked directly towards Anne's laboratory in the attic with Emily in her arms.
Adeline was curious when she saw Leo carrying someone back and walked to the laboratory without saying a word, and told the intern to take care of the patient, and she followed.
Upon going up to the attic, Adeline saw that there was an extra woman on the bed. This woman's appearance is the same as the woman named Emily described by Leo, except that her face is very pale, and according to her doctor's experience, the other party must have lost too much blood, and the amount of blood lost is very large.
Instinctively, Adeline stepped forward to check on Emily's condition, and was surprised by the results.
Because she found that the blood loss in Emily's body should have been far below the bottom line of life, it stands to reason that Emily should be dead now, but when she checked just now, she found that Emily still had a very weak pulse and breathing, which can only be described as a miracle.
With endless doubts in her heart, Adeline looked at Leo, she saw Leo turn out a brand new hose, and then found two high-priced needles that Anne specially customized for blood drawing, put the hoses around the two ends of the needle, completely sealed and tied them to death, and then took the tape, walked to the bedside, and very directly and simply pierced the needle into her own veins.
"Ahh
Later, I saw Leo and the others fill the hose and needle with blood, and when the needle drip from the other end, the needle at the other end is accurately inserted into Emily's almost dry blood vessel, allowing her blood to flow into her body.
"You!so you're a supporter of blood therapy?" Seeing Leo's approach, Adeline looked at Leo in surprise, as if she was looking at some kind of monster.
Leo ignored Adeline's eyes, fixed the needle with duct tape, then raised his hand in a comfortable position, leaned back on the bed, took out a hundred gold flanges from his pocket and handed it to Adeline, and said, "Help me get some food, more sugar, and a little more meat, both of which are large, preferably for ten people." ”
Adeline took the money, looked at the blood vessel in Leo's hand, and walked out.
At this moment, Leo is not sure if he will be able to save Emily by doing this, although when he checked Emily's body just now, he was sure that the blood of the two could be transfused to each other, but Emily has lost too much blood after all, and she has lost blood for too long, even if she is rescued, her brain may be damaged due to excessive blood loss, and she may be a vegetative person at that time.
Now, Leo had calmed down from his agitation, and he suddenly realized that his emotions seemed to be wrong, because he was only thinking about getting Emily back, and nothing else.
It is undeniable that Leo has a good impression of this cheerful and optimistic little woman after getting along last night, but this good impression is only equivalent to a good friend.
He doesn't mind funding Emily to fulfill her wish to open a flower shop, and he doesn't mind helping Emily find the murderer to avenge her after she is killed, but going to great lengths to treat her like this, and even giving her a blood transfusion, is obviously beyond the scope of a friend.
Not to mention other people, even if a friend like Jason is in the same situation, he needs to think about the situation, and he will definitely not do it without thinking about it like he did just now.
"...... in hospitals, alleys"
At this time, Leo carefully recalled the experience, he found that he was affected by an ominous feeling when he was in the hospital, and when he arrived at the entrance of the barrel alley, he was affected again by this ominous feeling, and then the door of the apartment, the apartment room was affected by this ominous feeling from time to time, and this influence became stronger and stronger, strongly affecting his emotions, and making him have the idea that he must save Emily.
"Subject Emily. ”
Leo, who was already suspicious, looked at Emily, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and gave instructions to the paracerebral system, which soon analyzed all kinds of things that happened after the encounter with Emily last night, and the results were quickly available.
