There are huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor of the clinic. It is hard to imagine how much courage it takes to adopt such a decoration in this gray alley, where black and white meet, and where security is chaotic.
There was no chaos as expected. Except for the hospital bed, the clinic was clean and tidy, as if their owners were still working as usual.
Even on the hospital bed, there was no blood or dirt, only a lot of wrinkles on it.
"Have the sheets been changed here?"
Seeing this, Shia couldn't help but ask.
"No, this is the scene. The newsboy delivering newspapers passed by here in the morning and saw Dr. House lying here through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He called twice and got no response. When he looked closer, he realized something was wrong. He hurriedly called the police and broke in.
, Dr. House is already like this."
Drizzt said.
"This is definitely not done by humans."
Shia concluded.
"The other party should have killed Dr. House with a sudden sneak attack. The glass flower is not the result, but the means. The murderer killed the other party by making the other party's internal organs like that."
"Or there is another speculation that Dr. House was not killed here."
Drizzt exhaled a puff of gray smoke.
"In addition to those two patients, he may have received or visited other patients, and then he was killed and sent back at night. This would also lead to the scene becoming like this."
There were only three of them present, so Drizzt spoke bluntly and pointed to the wooden cabinet filled with patient information and files.
"I'm going to look into his filing cabinet."
"oh."
Lu Tan remembered what Drizzt said before.
In addition to the assistance of the police, he also accepted a commission from Madame Martina of the Catania family. Evidence of a private meeting between this gangster family lady and her lover is also in the clinic, so this case may have another direction.
That is, Dr. House was killed by the gang because of this evidence, but Mrs. Martina failed to get the evidence from Dr. House, so she hired the detective Drizzt to find it.
"Old Cui, are you going to be silenced too?"
Lu Tan said suddenly.
"...Do you think I came here without any preparation?"
Drizzt, who was looking through the files, rolled his eyes at Lu Jian.
"First of all, Madam Martina didn't tell me about her lover. All this is my reasoning. As long as I don't show that I know too much, she won't do anything to me."
"In addition, Mrs. Martina is the third daughter of the Catania family, and her husband is a theater actor. According to the rules of the gang, even if her husband knows that she is wearing a hat, she can't say anything. Martina
Madam, it was more because of internal disputes within the family that she needed to destroy this information."
"Finally, I know more than one person from the Catania family. Do you understand what I mean?"
"don't know."
Shia doesn't mince words.
For the wizards of the Kingdom of Darkness, this kind of urban gang is too complicated.
"...the Catania family is a gang that has risen in recent years. They quickly controlled many business routes to and from the abandoned city, smuggling, selling drugs, intimidating and threatening, raising call girls, basically all
Do it, it is said that it is because they have a very good military advisor in the past two years, and anyway, the order of the underworld is being destroyed."
Drizzt paused, perhaps because he felt that the description of "order in the underworld" sounded a bit ridiculous.
"There are many small forces and small gangs in the underworld. These gangs often fight with each other and cause casualties. However, due to their small size, they have reached a subtle check and balance relationship with each other. The upper class are too lazy to clean up the mess, but Kata
The Nia family is different, they want to unify the underworld, and even the entire slums of the waste city, and become the shadow controllers of the waste city."
"Isn't this bad?"
Shia asked in confusion.
"There are many problems. Although the Catania family can make the slums more peaceful through high-pressure rule, this kind of rule will attract the attention of the upper-class people in the waste city and may clean the slums. As you know, there is a little
When it's dusty, you might not care, but when there's a bunch of dust, you might have to take a broom and sweep it up."
Drizzt's hand suddenly stopped.
He saw a file.
The patient's name written on this file is Matilda, which is another way of writing Martina.
He dug out the file and took a look.
"...It's quite a big game."
Drizzt couldn't help but sigh.
"No wonder Madam Martina wants this diagnosis and treatment record. The relationship between her and her lover is not an ordinary relationship between a man and a woman, but..."
Just as he was about to say something, he noticed Sia's big curious eyes.
"Ahem, in short, it's something that can harm the body. It seems that she already has that desire, but she can't express it due to her identity... No, wait."
Drizzt flipped through the records and was stunned.
"The time here doesn't match up. I remember that Madam Martina was attending a charity reception at this time. I was there and there was no reason for her not to be there unless..."
He seemed to realize why Lady Martina entrusted him with this matter.
Drizzt searched for other files according to a special order on the record. This file was just a directory, and the real records were other files arranged in the order of the code records on it.
"What's wrong?"
Shia came closer and saw the words translated by The Quiet Place.
"Three already dead?"
The mage girl saw that in the file, three of the unfortunate people who had used some special means to please these ladies had died.
Moreover, it seems that there is more than one participant.
"Mrs. Martina seems to be just one of them... Where are the others?"
Drizzt suddenly discovered that Lu Tiao was missing.
"I'm here."
Lu Tiao's voice came from the basement entrance.
Drizzt put away the medical records and went to the basement with Shia.
This is a warehouse where various medicines and equipment are stored. The police must have searched it, but there is nothing special.
However, Lu Tan came to a cabinet.
"Do you smell anything?"
he asked.
"What does it smell like?"
Drizzt moved his nose, and there was only the pungent smell of disinfectant.
"It smells like a morgue, like perfume."
Lu Tan said and opened the cabinet.
There are some bottles and cans in the cabinet, which have no characteristics.
But Lu Tan got into the cabinet, put his face against the cabinet, and listened carefully.
"It seems to be empty here."
He said, and immediately came out, and together with Drizzt, moved the heavy cabinet away.
You can see that behind the cabinet, there is a trap door.
After pushing open the trap door, Lu Tiao saw a small, claustrophobic room.
In the room, on the cold hospital bed, lay a woman.
