Although I said before that there was no clue in this case, all of this was based on the murderer's target selectivity. For example, Zheng Wei sticking his head out and Ning Fan going to the toilet because of a stomachache were all pre-set routines by the murderer. But now Wang Hai told me that Ning Fan was not drugged and the stomachache was entirely his own reaction. This makes me a little confused. Could it be that the murderer has been killing people randomly all along without any clear target
But if that is the case, it doesn't make sense. After all, if a person does not have a very uncomfortable stomach, after seeing the iron rod in the bathroom of that ward, he would probably choose to go to the toilet in another ward. Ning Fan fell into the murderer's trap because of the severe stomachache at that time. Could it be that the murderer had the ability to predict and knew that at that moment, Ning Fan would definitely have a sudden stomachache and go to the bathroom in Zheng Wei's ward to go to the toilet
After talking to my dad on the phone, I had some idea in my mind, but now after learning about this situation, I was confused again. Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue were completely at a loss.
"What about fingerprints? Were fingerprints found on the two bodies and in some key places?"
Wang Hai shook his head and said, "No, we didn't find any suspicious fingerprints. Ji Wen, do you think this is really just two coincidences? If this kind of coincidence continues, we may all die."
"It is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen. This time, the murderer just used some means that we cannot detect. You are just worrying too much. Let's leave it at that for now. Have a good rest today. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else. But starting from tomorrow, we must not let such a thing happen again. Keep an eye on the people in your respective wards and do not let go of any movement or suspicious behavior!"
After we finished eating, it was almost time. Wang Hai said he wanted to stay and help today, so we let him go to Qian Jun and Dali Ge's ward to rest. It was just right that three people were responsible for looking after three wards, although I still had doubts about Wang Hai.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was already 9:30 in the evening. Normally, I would not be able to sleep at this time, but now we are in the hospital and there are no entertainment facilities. I dare not do any strenuous activities and hurt my wound again. I just chatted with Bai Longfei for a while, secretly smoked a few cigarettes, and then turned off the lights and went to bed.
The temperature in this hospital is no joke. I was basically only wearing thin patient clothes without a blanket, but I was still sweating and couldn't sleep. Bai Longfei directly opened the window of the ward to let the cool air in, which made me feel a little better.
However, after opening the window, we encountered another problem. That was the sound insulation of this hospital. After the window was opened, we could hear clearly the conversation of Wang Hai, Qian Jun and Dali Ge in the adjacent ward. Moreover, the three of them became more and more interested as they chatted, as if they wanted to become sworn brothers. They chatted until about eleven o'clock, until the nurse on duty came into their ward and went to bed obediently.
After they stopped arguing, I gradually felt sleepy and fell asleep unknowingly. But not long after I fell asleep, I felt as if someone was pushing me gently. I immediately opened my eyes and saw Bai Longfei standing in front of my bed, making a gesture to me to keep quiet.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Bai Longfei being so cautious, I immediately lost all sleepiness and asked softly.
"It seems like someone sneaked out of the next ward. He came out in the middle of the night, and his movements sounded furtive. I guess something must be wrong!"
I have to say that Bai Longfei and his men are much more alert than I am. I was sleeping so soundly that I didn't know where I was, but he could still hear such a subtle noise. So I immediately stood up and said, "Has that person gone far? Let's follow him and see!"
Bai Longfei nodded and said, "From the sound, he should be heading downstairs. Don't go there. I can go alone. You stay here carefully."
"I'm fine. Besides, the wound isn't that painful right now, so it should be fine if I walk slower!"
Bai Longfei couldn't refuse me, so he agreed reluctantly. He put his ear to the door and listened quietly, then slowly opened the door, waved to me, and signaled us to follow him out quickly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Bai Longfei opened the door of the ward, he saw a gloomy woman with messy hair standing in the dimly lit doorway!
When he suddenly saw this woman, Bai Longfei was so scared that he almost attacked her on the spot. I was also very scared, but I immediately recognized that this person was Lin Yingxue.
Lin Yingxue said with a cold look on her face: "It seems that you have heard it too. The man has gone downstairs. Let's follow him." After saying that, Lin Yingxue turned around and slowly walked to the stairs. When she walked, there was no sound at all.
Bai Longfei looked at me with lingering fear, and I could only smile bitterly. Then, together with Bai Longfei, I caught up with Lin Yingxue and slowly walked downstairs.
As I was walking, I also faintly heard footsteps coming downstairs. If someone sneaked out at this time, there must be something fishy! Although I don’t know who this person is, I think he must be the real culprit of this case.
The footsteps continued until the first floor and then disappeared. I couldn't hear it clearly, but Bai Longfei told me that the man did not walk out but entered a room.
When we arrived at the first floor, Bai Longfei took us directly to one of the places. When I walked to the door, I found that this was actually the bathroom on the first floor!
What was that person doing in the bathroom? Was he setting up a trap for another murder
I was going to go in and see who was playing tricks here, but Lin Yingxue stopped me and said there was only one exit and I just had to wait for him to come out. So we stood at the door of the bathroom and waited for a full ten minutes before we heard someone slowly coming out. When he appeared in front of us, I realized that this person was actually Wang Hai!
Wang Hai was also startled when he saw us, and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Bai Longfei was about to question him, but I immediately spoke up, "We heard someone coming downstairs, and we were afraid that something might happen, so we followed to check. But what do you mean by running here in the middle of the night?"
Wang Hai heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. Didn't I say I had a bit of a stomachache today? I just got excited again, but they were all asleep. I was in the bathroom of the ward and was afraid of waking them up, so I came out to use the bathroom and get some fresh air."
"There is a public toilet on the seventh floor, so why did you come to the first floor?" I didn't believe his ridiculous excuse at all and continued to question him.
Wang Hai said a little embarrassedly: "I can't sleep, so I want to take a breath. Maybe I can fall asleep after some exercise. Now my stomach feels better, shall we go back?"
I smiled and said, "After following you for such a long time, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. You go up first, I'll go to the toilet first."
Wang Hai did not refuse and went upstairs alone. I hurriedly asked Lin Yingxue to follow him, fearing that he might do something weird.
After the two of them left, Bai Longfei and I immediately walked into the bathroom and went to the men's restroom to carefully look whether there had been any tampering here. I saw that the bathroom seemed to have just been cleaned at night. Both the floor and other places were very clean. More importantly, there was no peculiar smell in the bathroom at this time. In other words, Wang Hai's claim that he came here to use the toilet was a lie. Even when he came out, I didn't hear the sound of flushing.
Bai Longfei also realized this and said to me, "It's obvious that this kid has no good intentions. What on earth is he doing here sneaking around?"
I have thoroughly checked the bathroom inside and out, and I didn't find any traps that could cause someone to die accidentally. The only thing that made me feel strange was that there was no guardrail installed on the window of the bathroom on the first floor, and when I opened the window, I found that the window actually led to the outside of the hospital wall! In other words, if I go out through this window, I can completely avoid the eyes and ears of everyone in the hospital and leave without anyone noticing!
Before, I thought that Wang Hai had secretly gone out through this window to meet someone, but when Bai Longfei and I climbed out, we didn’t see any strange people outside the window, and the windowsill was newly wiped. When Bai Longfei and I climbed over, we left footprints on the windowsill, but there were no footprints here before, which means that Wang Hai had not climbed out from here before.
"What's the design of this hospital? Why is there such a window? If someone sneaks in in the middle of the night to steal things, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop them at all." Bai Longfei asked, staring at the window in confusion.
"Who knows! These designers are all geniuses, who knows what they are thinking?" I couldn't help but complain, but when I complained, I suddenly had a strange thought. Although this thought had nothing to do with this case, it still appeared in my mind.
"What should we do now? Can you tell what Wang Hai did here?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but you have to be extra careful tomorrow and not let anyone related to this case enter this bathroom. Also, if this happens, remember to rush here as soon as possible."
As I said that, I told Bai Longfei about the strange thought that had just occurred to me.
