Under the light of the lights in front of Tongren Hospital, he saw three people getting out of a car. The first one was very familiar to him, it was Yuan Mingzhu.
He suddenly became anxious and shouted loudly: "Mingzhu, don't come in. There is a trap inside. There is a killer in the hospital building."
"What? What are you shouting?" Mingzhu heard Lu Ming's voice from below, but the ward where Lu Ming was located was a little far away from the door. His voice reached Yuan Mingzhu's ears, but it was just a murmur of noise that could not be heard at all.
clear.
However, from the hoarse noises, Mingzhu could tell Lu Ming's eagerness and anxiety, and knew that something was not good about him.
In desperation, Lu Ming fired a shot into the sky. He had discussed this with Zhang Ziyang before. Shooting at a critical moment meant that he was in danger and should not get close casually.
Yuan Mingzhu didn't care about this. Without saying a word, he came out with a pistol after returning to the car. It was the Browning M1911 given to him by his elder brother. This gun was much more powerful than the revolver in Lu Ming's hand.
The two men following Mingzhu were thugs from the Cao Gang. Yuan Mingzhu came out to look for Lu Ming at night. The boss of the Cao Gang was worried about her safety, so he sent two of his men to protect her.
These two people were even more perverted. Each of them was carrying a German-made box gun, commonly known as a twenty-ring large mirror. It was unknown how the Cao Gang boss smuggled it.
The night light was dim and Lu Ming couldn't see clearly what was going on around Yuan Mingzhu, so he just yelled for Mingzhu to go away quickly and go back to call for reinforcements.
Although Yuan Mingzhu has a gun herself, and she also has two bodyguards who also have guns, but they are in the open and the killer in the building is in the dark, so it is equally dangerous to come in without any precautions.
Yuan Mingzhu couldn't hear clearly what Lu Ming was shouting. Anyway, she seemed to be in a very anxious mood. Instead, she became even more anxious, running into the hospital gate with three steps at a time and two steps at a time.
However, she and the two bodyguards also vaguely heard Lu Ming yelling about "killer" and "trap", so they were cautious after entering.
After entering, I found that the building was empty. There were halls, corridors, and consulting rooms with open doors. Not even a mouse could be seen.
"They are in the inpatient area on the third floor." Yuan Mingzhu said, waving a gun.
The two bodyguards did not dare to be careless, let alone let Mingzhu take risks. They rushed upstairs first, and then guarded on two sides. If anything happened to Yuan Mingzhu, the boss of the Cao Gang would have to skin them.
"It seems that Miss Yuan is here?" Yan Xiaohui finally calmed down and began to sort out the messy clothes.
Thinking of the scene just now, Yan Xiaohui was so shy that she couldn't even raise her head.
She is a real socialite. She never thought that she could be so bold and violent. If Lu Ming hadn't resisted and refused to cooperate, she might have accomplished something good just now.
Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful. If Yuan Mingzhu had come another ten or eight minutes later, the raw rice might have been cooked. At that time, it would be useless for Lu Ming to refuse the bill.
"They seem to be gone?" Lu Ming suddenly felt that the surrounding air was no longer so oppressive, but became much more lively and relaxed.
This feeling is of course very mysterious and makes no sense.
"Who are you talking about leaving? Miss Yuan?" Yan Xiaohui was a little panicked. She was worried that Yuan Mingzhu left because of fear. In that case, they would still face a crisis.
"No, I mean those killers are gone." Lu Ming said, feeling the atmosphere around him carefully.
"Really? These guys know how to be afraid, that's great!" Yan Xiaohui hugged Lu Ming again.
She didn't mean anything else, she was just too excited. If the killers left, they would be safe.
Lu Ming was a little embarrassed, but did not break away from the other party. At this time, he heard Yuan Mingzhu shouting in the corridor: "Lu Ming, where are you, come out quickly!"
Only then did Yan Xiaohui wake up from a dream and let go of Lu Ming.
Lu Ming still didn't put away the gun, but still held it in his hand. He couldn't be sure whether the killers had left or were hiding in the dark. He couldn't be careless at this time.
He opened the door slowly and came out quietly. Yuan Mingzhu and two bodyguards in black were standing in the corridor with guns in hand, looking at him blankly.
"What on earth are you doing? It's the middle of the night and you can't even see a ghost here. Where is the killer you mentioned?" Yuan Mingzhu said angrily.
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the killers were really gone.
He admired the mastermind very much. After seeing Yuan Mingzhu coming with two bodyguards, he immediately retreated and left instead of fighting.
This does not mean that these killers are weak. On the contrary, it just proves that these killers are very professional and they do not want to cause too many collateral casualties to prevent the situation from getting out of control.
In the empty corridor, two heavy solid wood tables were almost blocking their door.
This was the only evidence that someone had intercepted here before, and the bullet hole that was shot through the window. Apart from these, there seemed to be nothing to prove that the killer had hidden in the hospital and tried to use force.
Yan Xiaohui walked out at this time, saw Yuan Mingzhu and smiled generously: "Miss Yuan, thank you for coming in time, otherwise Lu Ming and I would be really in danger."
The moment she saw Yan Xiaohui, Yuan Mingzhu's eyes almost popped out.
"You... how did you two get together?" she asked in shock and confusion.
She knew Lu Ming completely, but she didn't know that Lu Ming was also in a relationship with Yan Xiaohui.
Of course she knew who Yan Xiaohui was. She was with Sheng Muyi in Shanghai, and her sister Yuan Ziyuan was a well-known lady. She was also the dream lover of countless teenagers in Shanghai.
Compared to the three above, she, Yuan Mingzhu, is even inferior.
"Don't talk nonsense. Why do we get together? Miss Yan is the doctor of this hospital, and I am the detective trapped here by those killers."
Lu Ming spoke briefly and briefly told what happened.
"What? There is such a thing!" Yuan Mingzhu was stunned after hearing this.
She really didn't expect that Lu Ming would experience a life-and-death crisis. Fortunately, she arrived in time, otherwise we might be separated forever.
Thinking of this, Yuan Mingzhu couldn't help but feel a little scared. She rushed over and hugged Lu Ming tightly, as if a loved one reunited after a long separation and found again.
"By the way, please do me a favor and look for the hospital employees and some patients to see if anyone is injured." Yan Xiaohui said to the two bodyguards.
Lu Ming was hugged by Yuan Mingzhu and could not move, but he still looked around in case anything happened.
Yan Xiaohui talked to the bodyguard because he actually wanted to get rid of the embarrassment of being there.
Although she knew that Lu Ming and Yuan Mingzhu were engaged, she still felt sour when seeing the two hugging each other intimately.
"No, we went from the first floor to the second floor, and then to the third floor, and we didn't find anyone." A bodyguard shook his head.
"They can't be..." Yan Xiaohui's heart skipped a beat again.
"No, don't worry, they must be locked in a certain room by those killers." Lu Ming said.
Yan Xiaohui nodded and said, "It might be in the dean's office on the fourth floor. Go and have a look."
The bodyguard immediately went up to the fourth floor and found a group of people in the dean's office.
There was a doctor on night shift, four missing policemen, a doctor on duty in the inpatient department, a few nurses, and then five patients. These people were all sitting on the ground, their faces full of fear and desolation.
When they heard the knock on the door, they panicked even more, fearing that the killer would come back to attack them. When they saw Yan Xiaohui coming in, they felt relieved. Two nurses couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lu Ming used the phone number in the dean's office to call the police officer on duty at the police station, telling him that a murder and hijacking had occurred at Tongren Hospital and asking them to send someone to investigate.
He didn't even ask if Zhang Ziyang was at the police station. Since Zhang Ziyang was not in the hospital at the moment, it was even less possible for him to stay at the police station.
"This kid must be unable to bear the loneliness and went to pick lotus flowers." Lu Ming thought to himself.
According to the descriptions of the four police officers, shortly after dinner, some people suddenly came, but they did not have time to see how many people there were.
These people were all dressed in black clothes, with black masks on their faces. They were agile and quickly disarmed four people and tied them up.
Soon, all the doctors, nurses and patients in the entire hospital were driven into this office, and the door was locked.
No one knows who the masked person is because they don't speak at all and just use guns and gestures to express their meaning. However, there is no need to worry about being misunderstood. People will be much smarter than usual under the threat of a gun.
After hearing the police's statement, Yuan Mingzhu realized that the danger Lu Ming encountered was completely beyond her imagination. If he could persist until now, he was lucky.
After questioning one by one, it was found that no one was harmed. The killers just locked them up as passers-by and had no other intentions.
More than ten minutes later, a dozen police officers arrived and began to take statements from everyone.
Because they didn't cause much personal injury or damage anything, the police seemed a little distracted. They just hastily recorded a confession and the matter was basically over.
This was indeed a major hijacking case, but the hijackers all wore masks and no one could recognize them. Lu Ming had been confronting them for a long time, but in fact he only heard one person's voice and never even saw his face.
This is equivalent to the fact that no witness or material evidence has been provided, and this case is basically considered a no-brainer.
Horgan's body was taken away in a corpse truck. Unfortunately, he didn't even have any clothes and could only be wrapped in sheets and taken away.
"Is he the person you told me to find a place to relocate to this afternoon?" Yuan Mingzhu had just recovered from her fear and faced this scene again.
"Well, it's a pity that it was too late to save his life." Lu Ming sighed.
"It's still his fault that he's not careful. He doesn't know if the food is poisonous. He eats anything. It's weird if it's not poisonous." Yuan Mingzhu said angrily.
Lu Ming was speechless. This was not poison from random food. With the Japanese way of poisoning, it would be difficult for anyone to escape.
He suddenly thought of a question and asked: "By the way, how did you know I was in the hospital?"
"Of course the police told me. There is also bad news. I forgot to tell you." Yuan Mingzhu suddenly said with a gloomy expression.
"What bad news?" Lu Ming asked tiredly.
He was really tired now. When he was confronting the murderers, his nerves were always tense. Now that he was relaxed, he felt exhausted.
"It seems something happened to Zhang Ziyang." Mingzhu whispered, "Don't be nervous. We don't know the specific reason yet, but he is missing."
"Ah, what did he do? What does it mean that he is missing?" When Lu Ming heard the news, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dim and countless little gold stars were flying above his head.
Are you going to break into the tiger's den again just after leaving Longtan?!
