Jian Jing shuddered. A
bloodbath in the emergency room? Does that mean that bloodshed is about to happen here? What to do, run?
The instinct for survival and the hidden fear dominated her, and she moved her legs, ready to leave here immediately.
The system did not stop her.
But she took two steps, and for some reason she stopped, hesitantly asking silently: "Can I run?"
[Yes, the host is just an ordinary person, and protecting yourself is also a responsible act, but the performance is poor, and only 1 courage point is rewarded.]
It's good enough to be able to save your life, why do you need courage?
Jian Jing was not greedy, but she asked again: "You issued such a task, do you think I can solve it?"
[The crime has not yet started. If the host can find the criminal and stop it in advance, there is a certain probability that this task will be solved.]
Jian Jing was stunned for a moment.
Of course, she could run away and stay away from this dangerous place, but the people who stayed behind would know nothing. When the bloody incident happened, how many people would lose their lives?
When she thought of this, she couldn't convince herself to leave.
But it was extremely difficult to make up her mind to intervene.
She had died once and didn't want to lose her life again. Why did it have to be her? She was just an ordinary person.
Jian Jing hesitated, but in the end she couldn't turn around and leave.
Try it first, and run away when there is danger. This way it is not considered unscrupulous. She brainwashed herself for three minutes and tried to use the observation skills she had just acquired to pay attention to everyone.
It was hard to imagine that someone who was too sick to get up could cause such an exaggerated "bloodbath", so Jian Jing first ruled out most of the patients.
The doctors and nurses were very busy and never raised their heads. Although they were occasionally irritable, there was no reason for them to kill people here.
After temporarily ruling out two groups of people, the accompanying family members became the most suspicious group. Relatives were seriously ill and their emotions were accumulated. They were very likely to act impulsively and make irreversible consequences.
Therefore, Jian Jing finally locked on a few more suspicious people.
Suspect No. 1, a father who brought his child to see a doctor, is in his thirties, strong and loud-voiced. He just yelled at the nurse because the injection didn't go in.
People who are easily emotionally agitated are more likely to do stupid things impulsively.
Based on his characteristics, he is nicknamed the strong father.
Suspect No. 2, a man who was arguing with someone at the payment window, was very aggressive and angrily scolded the cashier: "Why do you want so much money? Are you trying to take advantage of the opportunity to cheat us out of our money? I tell you, there is no way you can cheat us."
A circle of people had already gathered around him, and some of them were in a hurry to pay the bill and started a quarrel with the other party: "Make way, if you don't pay, others will have to pay."
"Get lost, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, no one will be able to do anything." The other party sneered.
Seeing that the conflict was about to escalate, pay close attention to the payment man.
Suspect No. 3, several suspicious people lingering at the door of the emergency room. They are both men and women, each tied with a hemp rope, holding a spirit tablet in their hands, and holding a banner with the eight characters "Quack doctor harms people, give me justice" written on it.
The two above are still in the conflict period, this one is a very obvious medical dispute, and there is also a major suspicion. Let's call it a medical dispute group.
Who is most likely to commit a bloody case?
No. 1, the strong father, is tall and has the strength to hurt people. No. 2, the bill payer, has already started arguing and is more like a target of an explosion. And No. 3's several people are well prepared...
Everyone is suspicious, and everyone looks alike.
Jian Jing pondered for a long time, but could not analyze an accurate answer.
As a last resort, she decided to change her thinking.
First of all, the premise of a bloody case is that there has been an injury incident. No matter how strong a person is, the damage he can cause with his bare hands is limited.
If the weapons can be solved, it won't prevent the accident from happening, but it can minimize the damage.
Jian Jing quickly inspected the entire emergency room. To be honest, there were not many things that could cause strong lethality. There were almost no sharp medical instruments like scalpels. Most of them were needles, scissors, and catheters.
The patients had a few fruit knives in their hands.
The biggest one was in the hands of a girl who was peeling an apple for her boyfriend.
Jian Jing touched the sausage in her pocket, and came up with an idea. She walked up to the girl and asked, "Hello, excuse me, can I borrow a fruit knife?"
The girl had already peeled the apple, and seeing that the person who was borrowing something was a young and pretty girl, she was not on guard: "Sure, here you go."
"Thank you, I'll return it to you later." Jian Jing took the instant noodles and ham, staggered half a circle, and went straight into the stairwell.
She planned to hide here.
The possibility of a bloody incident in the stairwell was relatively low, and no one would rush here to grab the weapon. Even if she still couldn't stop it, she wouldn't be affected if she avoided the crowd.
However, would it really be useful to take away the fruit knife?
She sat on the steps, playing with the knife. This was the largest of the knives in the emergency room, but it was only half a palm long. Not to mention that the blade was not sharp, even if it stabbed into a person's body, how many people could it kill?
Don't forget, the system's description was "tragic" and "reduced casualties", which shows that there is more than one victim.
It's too early to rest assured now.
Jian Jing bit her fingers and mobilized all her brain cells to think.
She has never studied reasoning, nor does she understand criminal investigation. The only thing she is good at is making up stories, so why not continue making up the story and see how it goes.
Assuming that the fruit knife is the murder weapon, how did it happen?
The murder weapon was not the knife she prepared, it was most likely a passion-based murder. The murderer had an argument with someone, then grabbed the nearest fruit knife and stabbed him.
Then what? He committed the crime on impulse, so he must be very panicked. Could he have thought of going all out and killing a few more people? No. So, is it that couple?
Not really. Although they only met once just now, with the help of the observation card, she still quickly collected some information about them. The boy who was on the IV drip was wearing four-leaf clover sneakers and came from a wealthy family. The girl's backpack was placed aside, revealing a corner of her textbook, with her student ID hanging next to it. They were both college students. And the girl peeled apples for the boy, so it seemed that their relationship was stable, so there was no reason for her to commit a crime.
Then, she guessed wrong.
This fruit knife is not a murder weapon.
We must return to the emergency room for further investigation.
Jian Jing didn't care to eat a mouthful of mushy instant noodles. Her whole mind was occupied by her brain, and her stomach didn't feel hungry. She hesitated, gritted her teeth and walked back. She
returned the fruit knife to the girl first. By coincidence, the boy's intravenous drip was finished and the nurse was removing the needle. After the end, the young couple left the infusion room hand in hand.
She immediately observed the three suspects identified before.
The strong father No. 1 had calmed down, his child was sleeping soundly in his mother's arms, and the couple were talking in a low voice. Without the trigger point, the suspicion value dropped sharply.
The bill payer No. 2 was still swearing, the security guard was standing in front of him, a nurse was negotiating with him, and the others continued to pay and queue up, returning to normal.
Keep observing.
The medical dispute group No. 3 remained the same, also keeping observing.
Jian Jing used her remaining eyes to pay attention to them, and at the same time, she used half of her mind to observe other people whose suspicion values were not very high. After all, her level was limited, and a rough screening might miss key information, so she compared them one by one.
However, things did not go as planned.
"Wuwuwu——", the ambulance came with sirens.
The stretcher was quickly lifted down and sent to the emergency room, adding another layer of noise to the already noisy place. And the people who followed the cart in made many people frown secretly.
There were several drunken young men, one of whom had tattoos on his arms, and two equally muscular friends beside him. As soon as they entered the room, they shouted: "If I can't cure the patient today, I will smash your shabby hospital!"
Jian Jing: "..." What a lunatic. Do you think
you are the emperor? I want your head?
But even though she was complaining, her alertness had already reached the highest level.
"What big talk? Who do you think you are?" Another tall and thin man who came in said what everyone was thinking, and glared at the tattooed man with disdain, "If you hadn't gone crazy, this wouldn't have happened!"
"You're right to hit me?" The tattooed man was furious.
The tall and thin man retorted: "I didn't push her. If you hadn't overturned the table, she wouldn't have been hit like this."
"You beast!" The man with tattoos stepped forward and swung his fist.
The tall and thin man held him with his arms and kicked him hard.
Seeing that the two were about to fight in the lobby, a hoarse and cold female voice rang out: "What are you doing? This is a hospital, go to the police station for mediation."
"You old woman..." The man with tattoos was extremely irritable and turned around to curse.
Jian Jing's heart suddenly sank, fearing that blood would be seen if she was not careful.
Fortunately, the security guard reacted quickly and dodged in front of the female doctor in advance to prevent them from getting close.
The female doctor seemed to have seen this situation before, and asked calmly: "Do you still want to save the patient? If you do, the family members come over to sign. If you don't, you can continue to quarrel."
The man with tattoos no longer had the momentum he had when he came, and only said toughly: "I'll sign! Doctor Hao Mei, right? I'll remember you."
Doctor Hao ignored him, took out the consent form, and pointed to the bottom column: "Sign here."
The man with tattoos signed his name clumsily.
The female doctor nodded calmly and called the young girl who followed her: "Xiao He, come with me for the operation."
The girl, who was obviously a recent graduate, lit up and nodded repeatedly, waiting for the female doctor to enter the operating room.
The man with tattoos and the tall and thin man returned to their old ways, each occupying one end of the door, and the stalemate continued.
"If anything happens to my sister, you'll be killed!"
"Don't talk nonsense, she fell down by herself, what does it have to do with me?"
The two sides were deadlocked.
Jian Jing stayed in the farthest corner, wondering whether to call the police: these guys seemed to be emotional and outnumbered, which was exactly the conditions for a murder. Now, if she called the police and had them all taken away on the pretext of "making trouble", would she be able to avoid a tragedy?
But she still had a few concerns.
After calling the police, the police would definitely ask who called the police. They looked difficult to deal with and might even retaliate against her. If they were indeed the instigators of the murder, she could just grit her teeth and do it.
But what if they weren't?
Would the police's arrival irritate the real murderer? Not only did she offend people, but she also caused things to get worse.
But then again, what if the police could calm the murderer and make him give up committing the crime?
There are certain reasons for doing it and not doing it, and both may lead to terrible consequences. Jian Jing really can't judge how to choose.
