Chapter 68: Someone in the court is good to be an official
Several police officers turned their attention to the open door of the ward. There was no one in the room. A revolver was fixed between the gaps of the hospital bed. The window on the window sill was opened, and gusts of cold wind flowed through the window.
As the door opened, gusts of draft blew on the faces of several police officers who looked extremely ugly.
Gusts of draft were raging in the house. After this morning's blow, Inspector Buck had obviously adapted to this damn situation. He cast his gaze into the house. The most conspicuous thing was the gun fixed on the hospital bed. With the wind,
Influence, look carefully at one
One end of the thin cord is tied to the trigger of the gun, and the other end is tied to the handle inside the ward door. As long as someone outside tries to enter the ward, the cord connecting the door and the gun will pull the trigger, thus loading the gun.
The revolver fires bullets automatically.
"Feldman, check all suspicious places in the ward and report them to the incoming Inspector Upton."
"Check all the rooms on the third floor. If there is any danger, fire a warning shot." After taking a look at the situation in the ward, Inspector Buck immediately gave the order to the few police officers around him.
"Quick! What are you doing standing still?" After Inspector Buck finished speaking, the police officers were still a little dazed, but with a loud roar, they immediately came to their senses and took action.
Back in time ten minutes ago, the killer pretending to be a doctor knocked open the door of the ward, turned around and closed the door. He carefully looked at everything available in the ward. However, this ward was not 10 square meters big. From the ward door
The small window above allows you to see everything inside.
A hospital bed with an iron frame, two wooden chairs on both sides, a clothes rack behind the door, a large wooden wardrobe against the clothes rack behind the door, two pots of unknown flowers leaning against the window, and an atomic
The radio was placed on the small cabinet next to the hospital bed. The layout of the room can be said to be fully visible after entering the door. Of course, if you look through the small window on the door, there are still blind spots.
The killer dressed as a doctor quickly set up in the ward. Since he couldn't leave through the front door, he had to go through the window. However, in order to delay time, he still had to make some preparations. The bedding on the hospital bed was rolled up directly.
They were scattered on the bedside. The iron hospital bed was made of wooden boards. It was not a whole iron bed but an iron frame and wooden boards combined together.
The killer pried up a corner of the bed board. He couldn't say pry, but used the knife he brought with him to carve out a slot, which was just enough to fit the revolver of the dead police officer. He dug it out from the closet.
A thin but flexible rope connected the trigger of the revolver to the handle behind the door.
"Little surprise, I hope you like it, hehehe!" After the doctor killer sneered, he climbed out of the window through the only exit window in the house, grabbed the upper edge of the window, stepped on the outside of the window little by little, and passed
The drainage pipe climbed neatly to the window extension of the opposite ward, stepping on the extension of these buildings and quickly crossed to the end room on the third floor of the hospital.
When Inspector Buck was arranging police tasks, the time bomb downstairs had been deactivated by the patrol officer closest to Butts Hospital. It must be said that Inspector Buck was lucky, God did not abandon him at the critical moment.
A punished bomb disposal officer from the National Police Agency was sent to a street behind the street where Butts Hospital is located for a half-month patrol punishment, and an extremely infuriating half-month salary. Today is
It's the last day of punishment. If there is no one to wipe Buck's butt one day later, and if it explodes, then Inspector Buck can leave his current post. After all, who made him the person in charge of today's duty!
The bomb was defused, and the fire on the first floor was controlled by the firefighters who arrived. The only thing that was disturbing was that the medicines in the pharmacy were burned. Many highly volatile liquids were burned due to arson.
The medicine bottle exploded, and the pungent smell spread throughout the first floor as the door was opened. Many police officers sneezed and sniffed.
"Sneeze! Sneeze!" The police officers who were maintaining order in the corridor all covered their noses and muttered, "What does this smell like!"
All the patients in the hospital were immediately transferred to the two-story annex next to the hospital. This annex building was originally owned by Butts Hospital, but the previous president of the hospital sold the annex building to the upper class nobles at auction.
, in exchange for the convenience of Butts Hospital in all aspects of life and work. The convenience here refers to many aspects, including funding.
During the war, various supplies were in short supply. Major hospitals in London were competing for medicines and other resources, and each hospital paid a corresponding price for this. The annex building has existed longer than Butts Hospital, and the interior
It can be said to be dilapidated, even the wooden floor is full of cracks, for fear of getting your feet stuck in it accidentally.
The first floor of the annex building is better than the second floor. It is still possible to temporarily arrange for these patients. We can only wait until everything is stable before making any plans.
A police officer was waiting at the entrance of Butts Hospital, waiting for the upcoming Inspector Upton. The waiting time was not long. After the fire was under control on the first floor of the hospital, a classic car followed at the end of the street.
Two police cars that look like bread came slowly, which shows that they are not going very fast!
The classic car and the police car stopped at the entrance of Butts Hospital. The police car jumped out first. Forty police officers lined up in two lines and stood in front of the classic car. A police officer standing in front of the car stepped forward to protect the people inside the classic car.
Opening the car door, Inspector Upton walked out of the car first, followed closely by a man not much older than Upton.
When the bloated middle-aged man stooped down and stepped out of the car, the police officer waiting at the door quickly stepped forward to cover the former with the roof of the car so as not to hit his head. The most eye-catching thing was a crown on the middle-aged man's shoulder.
He wears a high-collar uniform and a police helmet on his head. The conspicuous eight-pointed star on the police helmet shines faintly in the sunlight.
"Good morning, Superintendent Hamilton." The police officer greeted the middle-aged man after leading him out of the car.
"Hello! Constable Garland, I heard that you are going to be promoted, please work hard!" Superintendent Hamilton smiled at the police officer and said.
The police officer named Garland who was arranged by Inspector Buck to receive his boss was a distant relative of his family. Some time ago, he accidentally discovered a fugitive listed on the police department's list. After reporting it to his boss, the team was unable to arrest him.
The fugitive was commended by the National Police Agency and was said to be promoted.
Why don't we send Police Officer Garland to the entrance of the hospital to greet his boss and deepen his impression on the senior management? I didn't expect to hear accurate promotion news. This is much more true and reliable than the rumors. After all, the person in front of me is
Superintendent Hamilton is a high-ranking officer in the police department and is a senior official in the Criminal Investigation Division.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that it is different when there are people in the family. Even if it is just an opportunity to receive the leader, it will be arranged for one of the own people and not for someone who is not familiar with it. After all, who knows the goddess of luck?
Will Tuna's eyes notice her?
Inspector Buck not only wanted to give his relatives a chance to contact their superiors, but also because the situation in the hospital was unclear. Even he himself did not know whether there was any danger on the third floor or whether it would endanger the entire hospital. In order to prevent any unexpected situation.
If it happens, it would be safer to arrange for the other party to be at the entrance of the hospital.
Inspector Buck also wanted to find a safe place by himself, but after all, he was on duty today. Now that something like this has endangered the safety of the hospital, he himself is responsible. If he was hiding, he would probably not be dismissed from his post.
.
"Damn poor people, they are causing trouble all day long." Superintendent Hamilton, who was 'strong', said as he walked forward with Inspector Upton beside him.
"Superintendent Hamilton, you didn't sleep last night! Your mental state is not as good as when I saw you two days ago."
Inspector Upton did not answer Hamilton's words and changed the subject.
Officer Garland followed closely behind the two superiors of the police department, waiting for each other's inquiries at any time. The two teams of police officers who got off the police car stayed in Upton after supervising the two people walking up the stairs in front of the hospital building.
Several police officers followed Superintendent Hamilton and the others, and the rest of the police officers spread out to seal off the entire hospital.
"Officer Garland, what's going on now?" Inspector Upton didn't want to talk nonsense with Superintendent Hamilton. The other person was not his direct supervisor, but was here to calm things down.
"Two fire points on the first floor..." Garland then reported the emergency situation in the hospital and the current handling situation to the two officers.
"Where is the murderer?" Superintendent Hamilton asked after Officer Garland finished speaking.
"There are two police officers guarding the first ward on the first floor." Garland replied quickly.
"Two more people will keep an eye on him and take him to the police station later.
You go notify the nearest police station and dispatch the police officers." Superintendent Hamilton glanced at Constable Garland and ordered a police officer next to him.
A police officer with freckles behind him turned around and left after receiving the instruction.
"Okay, let's go in!" Superintendent Hamilton walked into the first floor of the hospital first after making arrangements. Inspector Upton and others followed behind him and walked into the hospital.
