Chapter 56： 一个黑暗多风的杀人之夜

这是一个凄凉的冬夜.远处的群山与黑暗的天空融为一体,让人无法分辨.外面呼啸的风猛烈而尖锐地撞击着医院的窗户,在走廊里营造出一种诡异的寒意.此时,每个病房的门窗都紧闭着,仿佛哪怕是一缕风,都可能预示着被黑夜吞噬.从医院周围的草地上,偶尔传来哀伤的昆虫鸣叫声,增添了冬天的寒冷.走廊里断断续续的"咔嚓咔嚓"的脚步声,似乎让深夜更加安静.

刘飞燕和张良光蜷缩在凳子上.看一下时间,才刚过 11 点.他们开始感到熬夜是多么艰难.如果不是楚天留下了一大袋食物,可以消磨时间,补充他们的能量,这个夜晚会显得更加漫长和艰难.张良光伸展身体,动动着冰凉的手脚,尽量保持更多的警觉.

张良光扭着脖子说:"啊,熬夜真累.难怪那个楚天小子消失得无影无踪,还有胆子说不想惹我们生气.显然,他只是不想守望.

刘飞燕打了个哈欠,拿出一面小镜子,打量着她的脸."哎呀,熬夜对女人的衰老最快.这事以后,我必须弥补.

张良光也忍不住打了个哈欠."你们这些女孩子真挑剔,总是担心自己的外表.真是浪费时间.飞燕,你留意一下.我要去洗手间.

在树枝上,一只猫头鹰诡异地栖息在医院外.它发出不合时宜的尖锐叫声,仿佛预示着死亡的征兆,让张良光和刘飞燕都感到脊背发凉.

刘飞燕浑身一颤."梁光,你能等一会儿吗?"老实说,我并不那么害怕罪犯,但这家诡异的医院总是让我毛骨悚然.

就在张良光准备取笑刘飞燕的时候,一个独眼男子从走廊尽头缓缓走来.他眉毛浓密,眼睛大大,脸上有两个鲜红的印记.他左手拿着一把砍刀,右手拿着一个锡罐.当他走近时,他直直地盯着张良光和刘飞燕,散发着压倒性的凶猛和恐惧感.一种明显的危险感随着他的每一步而变得更强烈.

张良光和刘飞燕顿时紧张起来.他们的右手本能地伸向腰间的枪.突然,独眼男子把锡罐扔在手里.张良光和刘飞燕以为是炸弹,赶紧倒在地,同时拔枪.罐子可以撞到地面,但不会爆炸.反而立即释放出一种气体,强烈刺激张良光和刘飞燕的眼睛,鼻子,呼吸道和皮肤,让他们感到极度不舒服.

刘飞燕赶紧捂住口鼻,咳嗽不停,泪流满面.就在这时,独眼男子戴上防毒面具,拿着砍刀冲上前去.刘飞燕拼尽全力,朝着独眼男子的下半身进行有力的扫腿.独眼男子微微闪开,然后向前冲刺,砍刀已经挡在了刘飞燕的面前.灵光一闪,张良光把手枪扔向了独眼男子.在朦胧的气体中,独眼男子看到一个不明物体向他飞来,迅速用砍刀砍向它.手枪掉在地上.

此时,刘飞燕已经恢复了一些喘息.她用侧踢踢中了拿着砍刀的独眼男人的手.独眼男人相当强硬.他忍着手腕的疼痛,将砍刀斜向下砍.刘飞燕赶紧缩回腿稳住自己,关掉了枪的保险装置,不再在乎医院的寂静.她举起枪,向独眼男子开枪.独眼男子未能及时躲避,肩膀被击中.就在这时,张良光也向前扑了过来.意识到自己无法占上风,独眼男子向走廊出口逃跑.

枪声显然打破了医院的宁静.此时所有关闭的病房门都打开了.出乎意料的是,门一打开,人们就被走廊里尚未消散的煤气所吸引.气体刺激他们的眼睛,使他们难以睁开,他们感到窒息和恐慌.以为医院被枪击着火了,二楼所有能动的病人都开始行动起来.那些不能动弹的人在家人的帮助下进入走廊.医生和护士也纷纷出来,试图在检查原因的同时安慰病人.

Liu Feiyan and Zhang Liangguang don't dare to run too far to get fresh air. They can only hide in Liu Dayong's ward to catch their breath. The previous fight has already exhausted their energy, and the gas released by the one - eyed man has further weakened them. They simply have no strength to chase the one - eyed man. Moreover, protecting Liu Dayong is their top priority. So, they can only keep the appearance of the one - eyed man in their minds and plan to create a composite sketch tomorrow.

After regaining their breath, Liu Feiyan is finally able to speak. "Liangguang, how did that one - eyed man get a tear - gas canister? And he was so brazen, coming directly to assassinate Liu Dayong in such a blatant way."

Zhang Liangguang takes a breath and shakes his head. "Who knows how he got the tear - gas canister? But we managed to wound the assailant and protect Liu Dayong's safety. With all this commotion tonight, I don't think the one - eyed man will come back to attack. The police should be here soon, especially since you wounded his shoulder."

A look of pride appears on Liu Feiyan's face. She clearly enjoys Zhang Liangguang's last words. Just as she's about to speak, the ward door suddenly opens. Zhang Liangguang and Liu Feiyan are startled. They raise their pistols towards the door and shout in a low voice, "Who?"

The ward light comes on, and a panicked doctor stands at the door. Evidently, he's been frightened by Zhang Liangguang and Liu Feiyan holding guns in the ward. The doctor stammers, "I... I'm the duty doctor. There's been a commotion in the hospital. I... I'm checking each ward and observing every patient as a routine. Who... who are you two?"

Zhang Liangguang and Liu Feiyan look at the easily - frightened doctor and relax a bit. They blame themselves for being too nervous. So, they put away their guns. Liu Feiyan takes out her ID from her pocket and says with a sense of achievement, "We're from the procuratorate, responsible for protecting the safety of this patient. Just now, an assailant tried to assassinate him, but we repelled him. It's nothing serious. Go tell the hospital authorities so they don't panic too much."

The duty doctor nods, flips through the medical record, then points to Liu Dayong on the bed and pats his chest. "So you're two young and capable prosecutors. With you here, everything's fine. Can I examine this patient? I'm worried that the gunshot and the tear - gas might have affected him. This patient is already very weak. A check - up will put both the hospital and you at ease."

Zhang Liangguang and Liu Feiyan exchange a look and nod. Judging from the doctor's panicked appearance, he doesn't look like the killers on TV who cover half of their faces with masks. He doesn't have a silenced pistol in his hand either, just an ordinary medical record. He should not be a killer. It's better to let him check Liu Dayong to see if there are any changes in his condition, which will also ease their minds.

The doctor holds the medical record and slowly walks to the bedside. He leans over to look at Liu Dayong's face. "On the surface, his face still looks normal." Zhang Liangguang and Liu Feiyan feel more at ease. Since the doctor doesn't immediately touch Liu Dayong, he probably isn't a killer in a hurry to murder him.

Looking at the doctor's professional expression and gestures, Liu Feiyan suddenly remembers what Chu Tian said, "Doctors are no taller than 1.7 meters, and nurses are all around 1.65 meters. Pay more attention to any doctor or nurse who exceeds these heights." She can't help but take a closer look at the doctor. This doctor seems a bit too tall. So, she asks casually, "Doctor, how tall are you?"

The duty doctor smiles sincerely. "I'm 1.87 meters. Do you two prosecutors have a habit of interrogating doctors?" As he speaks, he reaches out to check Liu Dayong's pulse.

Zhang Liangguang and Liu Feiyan's expressions change. Just as they're thinking, Liu Feiyan shouts in a probing tone, "You're not a doctor. Who are you exactly?"

As soon as the words are out, the duty doctor's hand suddenly stops. His eyes shine with a sharp light, and he spins the medical record in his hand towards Liu Feiyan. Liu Feiyan quickly turns her head to dodge. The duty doctor's fist then strikes her shoulder. Liu Feiyan is sent flying backwards like a broken - string kite. Zhang Liangguang is shocked. He didn't expect this duty doctor to be so strong that the well - trained Liu Feiyan could be knocked down with just one punch.

Zhang Liangguang quickly reaches for his pistol. Before he can raise it, the duty doctor rushes forward like an arrow. The scalpel in his hand glints menacingly. Zhang Liangguang doesn't even have a chance to switch the safety off his pistol. The scalpel is already in front of him. He can only step backwards. After taking a few steps, he realizes he's reached the wall. Zhang Liangguang can only throw the gun at the duty doctor's head again. At the same time, taking advantage of this brief moment, he kicks off the wall with his right leg and lunges towards the duty doctor with all his might.

The duty doctor tilts his head to avoid the pistol. Zhang Liangguang has already pounced on him, tightly gripping the hand holding the scalpel. The duty doctor remains calm. Suddenly, he flicks the scalpel with his little finger and catches it in his mouth. Then he slashes it towards Zhang Liangguang's neck. Zhang Liangguang doesn't expect the duty doctor to have this trick. He can only let go and step back. The duty doctor grabs the scalpel and throws it with force. The scalpel flies through the air, but it's not aimed at Zhang Liangguang. Instead, it shoots towards Liu Feiyan, who is getting up to draw her gun. Liu Feiyan, focused on drawing her gun, doesn't notice the whistling scalpel at all.

Zhang Liangguang shouts, "Feiyan, watch out!"
