Chapter 16: Clinic Tricks
That night, the comfort zone became even more deserted.
This kind of treacherous and bizarre murder happened for three days in a row, and no one can bear it no matter how good their psychological quality is, and no one wants that kind of thing to happen to them one night.
Now people here are spreading the word that it is not a human being who commits the crime, but some kind of demon who specializes in eating people's hearts!
In a small clinic on the corner of the road, Dr. Shen sat in a chair, facing the door, looking out at the deserted road.
He glanced at the empty room, where there was no one but him in the small clinic, and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, the time pointing to ten o'clock.
At this point in the past, there are a lot of patients, after all, most of the night owls in the comfort nest are diurnal and nocturnal, so the night is often more lively than the day.
But in the past few days, that kind of thing has happened, and many people don't dare to go out at night, and they can endure everything with a little illness, or they come during the day.
"Wow~"
Suddenly, it was raining outside, and the rain was beating on the ground, and the stuffy air was dispelled little by little.
"It seems that there will be no more patients tonight, and I can finally rest for the night." Dr. Shen muttered and yawned.
On rainy days, there is always a unique charm that makes people unconsciously indulge in it.
Dr. Shen quietly looked at the raindrops that kept falling outside, and listened to the dull or crisp sound of the rain, and forgot to close the door for a while.
By the time he came to his senses, the clock on the wall was already pointing to 10:30, and he shook his head, not paying attention, and was ready to close the door to the clinic.
Suddenly, Dr. Shen froze in place.
On the floor at the entrance, there were some wet water stains, which were impossible to see without careful observation due to the dim light in the clinic.
He bent down and looked closely, and saw what seemed to be footprints, spreading from the doorway to the chaise longue where he was sitting!
He never went out at all, and no one came in, where did these footprints come from?
This discovery immediately made Dr. Shen feel creepy, and he quickly glanced around, he was indeed the only one in the small clinic.
There was no back door, and he looked to the innermost doorway, which was a small room where he stored his medicine and slept.
There was no light on in the room, it was pitch black, and even if there was a person standing there quietly watching him at this moment, he couldn't see it at all.
Dr. Shen only felt some chills in his body, and his legs were trembling.
He has never done anything bad in his life, at most he sells the drugs in the clinic a little more expensive, which is not a big mistake, but he is still afraid in his heart.
He crouched down and carefully examined the row of water-stained footprints on the ground.
He didn't dare to think about why he hadn't seen anyone appear just now, so he could only forcibly speculate on the footprints on the ground as artificial, otherwise, he wouldn't have the courage to continue standing here.
It is not difficult to see from the direction of the footprints that a person swaggered in from the main entrance, and then walked straight to Dr. Shen who was sitting on a recliner without wandering around or stopping.
Obviously, the man's goal was very clear, it was for him, but even if he wanted to break his head, he didn't remember who he had offended.
The water stains in front of the recliner were disorganized, and the man should have stopped in front of Dr. Shen.
"Why did that man stop in front of me, what did he do to me? Why can't I see him? ”
The more Dr. Shen thought about it, the more frightened he became, but he keenly noticed that there were actually a row of footprints on the ground.
The other row of footprints is actually very shallow, and you can barely see the outline of a small half of one foot.
The rain that must have stuck to the soles of the man's shoes decreases as he walks, so the second row of footprints is getting shallower and shallower, and it is impossible to detect it without looking closely.
But upon closer inspection, Dr. Shen found that the row of footprints was actually pointing outwards and extending all the way to the door.
That is, after the man entered the clinic, he stayed in front of him for a while, and then left the place again.
Although there was still a lot of confusion to be made, he was relieved by this discovery, and he was about to close the door immediately.
As soon as his hand grasped the doorknob, there was immediately a wet touch, and Dr. Shen was slightly stunned, leaned his head closer, and took a closer look.
On the doorknob, there are also water stains!
In other words, after the person entered the clinic, he actually closed the door and did not open the door again until he left.
This behavior can only say one thing, that person is afraid of being disturbed by other people, not even for others to see!
For some reason, Dr. Shen couldn't help but think of the murderous demon in his comfort nest, and he hurriedly touched his heart.
Fortunately, there were no scars or pain, and he could clearly feel that his heart was pounding, faster than usual.
Looking at the hazy rain outside under the cover of night, Dr. Shen realized that his clothes had been wet with cold sweat unconsciously.
Such a strange thing was beyond his cognition and beyond his ability to bear, and he didn't even dare to think about the reason for it.
……
I don't know when it began, there have been three eyes hiding in the dark, staring at the ordinary small clinic, as if they were not going to miss any of the figures entering and exiting from there.
The rain came too quickly and suddenly, and the rain curtain made the small clinic disappear from the sight of the three of them.
They had no choice but to find a closer location so that they could better monitor the clinic.
However, when the main entrance of the clinic reappeared in front of the three of them, the door ...... It's actually closed!
There are only two possibilities for this to happen –
First, the doctor inside saw that it was raining and thought that there would be no more patients coming to the clinic tonight, so he closed the door early and prepared for bed.
The second is that the target that the three of them have been waiting for has appeared, and has already taken advantage of the rain to enter the clinic and close the door.
In the face of this unexpected situation, the three of them are a little at a loss, and if they rush into the clinic now, there is a certain possibility of catching a turtle in the urn, and there is also a certain possibility of startling the snake.
If you make a bet and win, everyone will be happy.
If you lose the bet, everything you have worked so hard to arrange will be in vain, and there is a good chance that there will not be a second such opportunity.
The three of them couldn't afford to gamble, so they could only wait, they knew very well that the clinic only had one exit, the main entrance, and even if the target really entered, they would definitely only be able to come out through the main entrance.
Rather than risking a surprise, waiting patiently is clearly a better choice.
As the minutes ticked by, the three of them picked a hidden location and stared intently at the main entrance of the clinic.
