TSM Chapter 52

Shí Jiǎnbái used scissors to cut open the fabric. The gunshot wound coupled with the knife wound caused the flesh to turn outward, a shocking sight that looked incredibly painful. He clumsily treated it simply, covering it with gauze. Throughout the entire process, Yǐn Yuè’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, yet he didn’t even furrow his brow, remaining calm and composed.

In the darkness, the flashlight’s beam swayed back and forth. Yǐn Yuè led Shí Jiǎnbái to the iron tower. Other police officers rigorously enforced the law at every location, taking all the fellow monks and elderly people back to the police station and contacting medical staff from the City Yàn Nán Hospital to examine them. The enormous Holy Hall Teachings was emptied overnight, surrounded everywhere by caution tape.

A few days later, the City Yàn Nán Hospital was packed with people, not a single empty room to be found. This was because many of the elderly people and Holy Hall Teachings workers had consumed too much Ketamine, leading to mental problems. They were all admitted for observation and treatment.

A certain criminal investigator? The only criminal investigator hospitalized in the City Yàn Nán Hospital was Yì Dàjūn. Had he seen Red Heart 9?

Zuǒ Yú couldn’t help but recall what Priest Tán had said that night. What connection did Red Heart 9 have with the Twilight Bar? Could Míng Xīng Yě be involved with the Poker Gang?

After enduring for a few days, he could no longer restrain himself. He grabbed a black coat at random from the cloakroom and set off. This time, to prevent the Poker Gang from suspecting him because of his injury, he hadn’t gone to the hospital at all, but had been treating himself at home. Strictly speaking, this was his second time going to Yàn Nán Hospital. The first time, without a doubt, was after that horrific bombing, when he was sent to Yàn Nán as a casualty.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw that Yàn Nán Hospital was surrounded, packed with police inside and out. The criminal investigation brigade officers were mingling about, unintentionally or intentionally, all former colleagues of Zuǒ Yú.

Zuǒ Yú walked generously towards the hospital, as expected, he was stopped by the police, who carried out a series of inquiries, “Please show your ID card!”

He was also cooperative, doing whatever they asked. But when he handed his ID card to the police officer, he didn’t expect to be immediately recognized as Yú Jī of the Dual Nightmare Detectives. The officer shouted, attracting a crowd of onlookers, including his former colleagues, who also gathered around, seemingly surprised to see him there after so much time had passed.

“Visiting a patient.”

“Visiting a patient? You must have seen the news! The hospital isn’t safe these days.”

“Yeah…”

“Thanks!”

“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll go out after you finish the apple.”

“Mr. Zuǒ? What are you doing here?” Gě Yáng, holding a lunchbox, popped out of nowhere.

“Of course, I know, I was just going there!” He raised the food in his hand and continued, “See! I’m going to buy food for my master and him, I just got back.”

“Shí Jiǎnbái is also there?”

Zuǒ Yú looked in the direction he was pointing. From 620 onwards, they were all single rooms. The two walked together, and only when they reached the door could they vaguely hear faint voices coming from inside, unable to make out a single word. Recalling his eavesdropping just now, the soundproofing effect was indeed not bad compared to ordinary patient rooms.

Gě Yáng pulled open the door, “Ta-da! Look who’s here!” He exaggeratedly waved one hand at Zuǒ Yú non-stop, the atmosphere suddenly becoming awkward.

Zuǒ Yú closed his eyes briefly, nonchalantly walked past him, and looked intently at Yì Dàjūn, who was recovering well, and asked earnestly, “How are you feeling?”

Yì Xiǎojūn was clearly surprised and looked at Shí Jiǎnbái in a bewildered manner, cautiously replying, “Thank… Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zuǒ, I’m much better.”
