Chapter 44: The Price of Truth
Li Yu stood in front of the old hospital, looking at the old building, his heart full of determination. He knew that his detective career would be full of challenges and dangers, but he also knew that as long as he persisted, he would be able to find the truth.
His adventure has just begun.
Li Yu decided to delve deeper into the gem trade behind the old hospital. He knew this secret involved the city's most powerful figures, and uncovering it would face immense resistance. But he didn't back down, convinced that only by uncovering this secret could he bring justice to the city.
He first found the family of the missing nurse and learned more about her. According to the nurse's family, she had worked in the hospital for a while, but because she felt uneasy, she resigned. However, on the night she resigned, she disappeared.
Li Yu felt that the truth behind the nurse's disappearance was likely related to the gem trade, so he decided to investigate further to see if he could find more clues.
He approached other hospital staff and asked them about the missing nurse. An older employee told him that something was indeed unusual at the hospital during that time. He had seen strangers coming in and out of the hospital, and their behavior was very mysterious.
This clue excited Li Yu. He knew that these strangers were likely people involved in the gem trade. He decided to follow them to see if he could find more clues.
After a period of tracking, Li Yu found that those people often appeared in a nightclub called "Gem Dream", so he decided to sneak into the nightclub to investigate the situation there.
The nightclub was filled with clamor and noise, the music blasting at the top of his lungs. Li Yu mingled with the crowd, observing his surroundings. He discovered that the club was filled with suspicious individuals, whose mysterious conversations and frequent glances made him feel uneasy.
Li Yu decided to investigate further and found the owner of the nightclub and asked for information about those people. The owner told him that those people were the most powerful people in the city and they often gathered in the nightclub to conduct some mysterious transactions.
Li Yu realized that he was close to the truth and decided to continue investigating to see if he could find more clues.
However, his actions were soon discovered by those people. They decided to get rid of Li Yu to prevent him from revealing their secrets. So they sent assassins to eliminate Li Yu.
The killer approached Li Yu silently, and he realized that he was in danger. He decided to leave the nightclub as soon as possible and return to a safe place.
However, as soon as he left the nightclub, he found that the killer had caught up with him, so he could only run away desperately, hoping to find a chance to escape.
While escaping, Li Yu met an unexpected person - the missing nurse he had investigated before. It turned out that she was not dead, but was kidnapped by those people to threaten Li Yu.
Li Yu was extremely anxious and decided that he could not let the nurse be hurt again. He decided to fight the killer to the death to protect the nurse's safety.
In a fierce fight, Li Yu finally defeated the killer, but he also paid a huge price, he was seriously injured and lay on the ground unable to move.
At this moment, the police arrived at the scene. They arrested the killer and rescued the nurse. Li Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally exposed the gem trade behind the old hospital and that the criminals would receive the punishment they deserved.
However, Li Yu also understood that the price of this truth was too high. He paid his life just to expose the darkness of this city. He didn't know if his sacrifice was worth it, but he knew that he did what he should do.
Li Yu looked up at the sky, his heart filled with peace. He knew that his mission had been completed and he could leave with peace of mind.
His adventure finally came to an end, but he left behind a story of a brave detective that will be told forever.
