It smells so bad, it’s the smell of disinfectant;

It hurts so much, every time I breathe, it hurts;

who I am?

I am Zhou Xun...

No,

I'm Karen.

Karen slowly opened his eyes, but the sunlight was too bright, and he had to close his eyes again;

After a long time, Karen gradually adapted to the brightness and tried to open her eyes again.

He saw the white sheets, the white quilt, the blue and white hospital gown on his body, and his cousin Mina sitting on the bed under him, doing her homework.

Mina seemed to notice something and turned her head to look at Karen. When she saw Karen's open eyes, Mina immediately covered her mouth and tears flowed from her eyes.

immediately,

Mina kicked her younger brother Lunt, who was also writing homework at her lower hand, causing Lunt to roll over and fall.

"Brother is awake, brother is awake, Lunt, go call the doctor, call the doctor!"

"well!"

Lunt got up from the ground, ran out of the ward without even bothering to pick up his homework.

"Brother, are you okay now?" Mina asked with concern.

"Water...water..."

Karen felt that her lips were very dry, the kind of dryness that seemed to directly remove the skin from her lips when touched.

"Okay, brother."

Mina quickly brought a water glass, put a straw in it, and brought it to Karen's mouth.

Karen bit the straw and started drinking.

After drinking,

Karen opened her mouth.

Mina picked up the wet towel again and helped Karen wipe her face.

At this time, Lunt came over with the doctor.

The doctor first checked Karen's physical condition, then opened the bandage on the chest wound, checked the wound, nodded with a smile and said:

"Young man, it's okay. Although the wound is deep, it didn't damage your spleen. You're lucky, really."

Karen nodded slightly.

The doctor was giving instructions to the nurse, which should be about changing the dressing. After giving the instructions, the doctor said to Karen:

"Pay attention to rest more. Now that you are awake, you can be discharged from the hospital after another two days of observation."

"Thank you doctor." Mina thanked Karen.

"polite."

The doctor and nurse left.

Karen tried to sit up with her hands on her hands,

Seeing this, Mina and Lunt helped each other, letting Karen stand up. Then, they folded two pillows behind their backs so that Karen could finally lean on them.

"Mina, how long have I been asleep?"

"Two days later, the doctor said, brother, you lost too much blood."

"oh."

Karen gently twisted his neck a few times, but as long as he didn't touch the wound on his chest, there was no problem with the rest of his activities.

"Mr. Police, this is a ward, no smoking allowed."

"I don't smoke, I smoke a pipe."

"You can't smoke a pipe either..."

"I didn't light it, please get out of the way."

Sheriff Duke walked in. After entering, he laughed "haha":

"I just entered the hospital and heard the doctor say you were awake."

"Sheriff..."

Sheriff Duke pulled up a chair and sat down beside Karen's bed:

"You're right, absolutely right. The murderer is really incredibly stupid. If we hadn't spent too long investigating the identity of the first deceased, the murderer would have been discovered long ago."

Karen looked at Sheriff Duke and said:

"Mrs. Hughes..."

"I'm sorry. When I led the police officers to the office of Hughes Cremation Society, I saw you tied to a chair, with your chest inserted..." Sheriff Duke gestured with both hands, "The only thing I'm lucky about is

Yes, you were still alive at the time, and we sent you to the hospital for rescue in time."

Speaking of this, Sheriff Duke sighed:

"Unfortunately, it was our arrival that probably alerted Mrs. Hughes. She escaped and we failed to catch her."

"Alas..." Karen also sighed.

"I have heard your aunt describe what happened that night. She is really a madman, and she really picks out the people around her!"

Karen nodded.

"Um, do you know where she escaped?"

After hearing this, Karen shook her head and explained: "When I sent her back, she pointed a gun at me."

"Madman, madman." Sheriff Duke shouted that word again, "She is really irrational in killing people."

Perhaps it was because he had seen and had a deep understanding of Mrs. Hughes's "stupidity" as a murderer,

Therefore, Chief Duke did not intend to continue chatting with Karen about the case.

After you know the answer, you will find that overly rigorous analysis and investigation of such a murderer is like repeatedly flirting with a blind man.

"I heard what the doctor said about your condition. Your problem is not serious. You should be fine with some practice."

As he said that, Sheriff Duke reached out and patted Karen's face.

"The most important thing is that this face is fine, thank God."

Karen tilted her head to express her silence towards Sheriff Duke.

"Hahahaha." Chief Duke stood up, "A wanted order has been issued. Thanks to the fact that this case was not exposed by reporters, the pressure on our police station is not very great.

However, I hope you can take good care of your health. Your analysis method impressed me deeply. We can communicate more in the future."

"Okay, Sheriff."

"Then I'll leave first."

Sheriff Duke is impatient and won't help peel an apple;

However, Sheriff Duke just walked out:

"Hey, why are you here?"

"Let's ask about the situation." A man's voice.

"Any questions?"

"We don't want to come either, but this is our duty." This is a woman's voice.

soon,

A man with a hooked nose wearing a gray woolen coat walked in, and behind him was a woman wearing a gray dress.

Karen was very impressed by these two people;

That day when I was taking a taxi from the Crown Ballroom, I happened to see them getting out of the car. The woman in the gray skirt also said something about "the strange devil".

The hook-nosed man took out his ID and waved it in front of Karen.

Before Karen could see clearly what was on the certificate, he put it away and sat down.

Sheriff Duke stood at the door and looked at the situation inside.

"Mr. Cullen, first of all, congratulations on your recovery and wish you a speedy recovery."

"Thanks."

Karen found that the hook-nosed man had been looking at himself, his fingers, throat, and eyes since he laid his eyes on her. He was paying attention to his subtle body movements.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that he was also an expert in this area.
