Chapter 20 Chapter Four: The Tragedy of the Hospital

Lin Ruoping and Sakai Seiji jointly investigate the truth about the two mysterious disappearances at the Royal Land Hotel and the murder of Shen Zhaopeng in Pattaya.In the meantime, they met Qiu Shiling who recorded the whole story of "cannibalism" in the swimming pool with his notes.Afterwards, the two of them were in distress separately, and the situation was critical... The phone rings. "Hey?" "Is it Mr. Qiu?" "That's right. Mr. Sakai? Calling so early is..." "Something happened to Lin Ruoping." There was a silence. "What happened?" After a long pause, Qiu Shiling took a deep breath and asked.

Sakai's voice was very low, without any ups and downs in his tone, "He was found floating on the sea by tourists who took a yacht in the morning, stuck in the cracks of a large rock, and he has lost consciousness. He is now in Pattaya Hospital." "My God! How could this happen!" "I'll tell you the details. Can you come to the hospital right away? I have to deal with the client's affairs later, but someone has to stay and take care of Ruoping. Now I can only rely on you." "Okay, I'll go there right away, give me fifteen minutes." "Do you know the location?"

"I know." "Then please. We are in Room 201." Sakai cut off the call. Qiu Shiling slowly put down his right hand holding the phone, frowning. It's a serious situation, and it needs to be over quickly.He left the unfinished breakfast and immediately changed into the clothes for going out. Five minutes later, he hopped into a taxi and sped off towards Pattaya Hospital. The hospital is located in the northwest corner, next to Sukumvit Road; it is known as the noble hospital in Thailand, and the scale and luxury of the whole building are like a five-star hotel.But now is not the time to appreciate it, Qiu Shiling stepped into the hospital, the feeling is not very real, for people who don't go in and out of the hospital often, this place seems to be another world, only when the body changes, they will come here A slightly suffocating environment.

After questioning, he found Room 201 and tapped on the door with the back of his hand.The door opened inward, and Seiji Sakai stood behind him with a haggard look; the detective nodded to Qiu Shiling, signaling him to enter. There was a window on the wall opposite the door, and a curtain was pulled up on the wall on the left side of the room. It looked like an abandoned curtain. It should be that the hospital bed isolation curtain that was not in use was pushed to the wall and placed.Lin Ruoping was lying on the hospital bed in the center, with a respirator covering his face and his eyes closed.

"This is really unexpected, is he okay?" Qiu Shiling asked worriedly. "I'm out of danger now, but my throat is seriously injured, and I have to rely on machine-assisted breathing at the moment." "What the hell is going on with all this?" Sakai folded his hands behind his back, turned to face the only window in the room, and said: "There is not much time, let me tell you briefly. I had something important to do at noon yesterday, and I left Pattaya temporarily. Since the matter is very troublesome, wait for me to deal with it." It was early in the morning when I returned to the hotel. When I got back to the hotel, I received a text message from Ruoping. He said he was going out in a hurry, but he was about to return, and asked me to open the door for him; I Immediately dialed the phone back, but there was no response, so I had to go back to the room. When I got back to the room, I immediately found the note left by Ruoping. When I was suspicious, there was a knock on the door, and I immediately knew that this was a trap; someone used Ruoping's mobile phone to lure me into the bait.

"Sure enough, as soon as I opened the door, I was attacked by a man in black with a knife; but he underestimated my ability, and he fled after I knocked down the knife in his hand. I lost it." Qiu Shiling was stunned, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, "Then, why did Lin Ruoping get hurt?" "I immediately understood that Ruoping must have encountered some difficulties. Maybe he was also lured into a trap, but I really couldn't figure out where the others would be. I immediately went to the Pattaya police station to ask for assistance, hoping to start a search , the police were dubious about my words. They planned to confirm that I was attacked before searching for Ruoping's whereabouts. I couldn't wait that long, as long as I delayed, I might die, so I left the police station desperately and searched on my own. , keep speculating where he might go.”

Sakai looked at the body on the hospital bed and continued: "Of course my search was in vain. I stayed awake all night until the morning. I suddenly received a notification from the police that they had found Lin Ruoping. It turned out that a tourist's yacht was passing by Monkey Island. He got stuck between the big rocks, and the tour guide on the boat immediately notified the police. Because of this, Lin Ruoping was sent here." At this point, Sakai fell silent. "Do you know who did it?" "Who else will be, of course the murderer." "This……" "It's very possible that the murderer came back to the hotel to attack me after dealing with Ruoping. What a cold-blooded guy!"

"Aren't there any clues that can be traced?" Qiu Shiling asked worriedly. "The only clue I found was the short knife he left behind. I have handed it over to the police, but it is a fruit knife that can be seen everywhere. I don't expect to find any beneficial information." "It looks like things are going to be tricky." "The most troublesome thing now is that I just received another call. The matter I went to Bangkok to deal with yesterday is not completely over. I have to go there again. I can only trouble you to take care of Ruoping here. I'm really sorry. At present, only You can help us."

"Don't say that, I regret that this happened," Qiu Shiling weighed his words, "I didn't expect this to be so dangerous. But can the police not do anything?" A hint of sarcasm flashed across Sakai's face, "They said that they won't know the whole story until Ruoping wakes up, but they did go to the hotel to investigate last night's assassination incident. Anyway, here, you can't rely on anything." He Nodding to Qiu Shiling, "Please." "Don't worry, I will contact you immediately if there is a situation." "Thank you." Sakai patted the wandering painter's shoulder, and walked out of the room with heavy steps.

The door was closed.Restoration of silence. Qiu Shiling sighed, he shook his head and rubbed his eyes with his right hand, as if he wanted to lift his spirits. Lin Ruoping on the bed was covered with a blanket, his eyes were closed tightly, and a transparent tube was connected from his mouth to a machine next to the hospital bed, and the black screen above it flickered with meaningless red numbers.He approached the machine. He fumbled for the unknown switch on the top with his hands, hesitating and trembling; after hesitating for a while, he locked one of the buttons and pressed it hard.In an instant, the red number disappeared, and the machine seemed to stop working.

He quietly looked at Lin Ruoping's face, which was expressionless.Before long, pain may set in... "What are u doing?" Suddenly someone said so from behind.Qiu Shiling turned around suddenly as if being hit by an electric current, he opened his mouth wide, his whole body trembling violently, and stared at the person standing in front of him.It was Seiji Sakai, and beside him stood a fat policeman, staring at Qiu Shiling with frowning eyes. "You, didn't you go out?" With great difficulty, he squeezed these words out of his mouth. "I went out, but came in again." The detective's expression was very cold. "No, it's impossible, the door is not open." "I came in from another place," Sakai turned around and opened the screen behind the wall, revealing a door, "Why do you think this screen is placed next to the wall? It's just to cover up this door, this room It was also chosen in advance.” "You, you..." Sakai moved towards the door to block the entrance and exit, while shaking the mobile phone in his right hand, "I took a picture of what you just did, and Officer Srilo also saw it. What else do you have to say? of?" "I'm just... this..." Qiu Shiling looked at Sakai anxiously, and then turned to the hospital bed. Shouldn't he...Suddenly, the person on the bed slowly bent his upper body, opened his eyes, gently removed the tube from his mouth, turned over and got off the bed.His arms were covered in bandages. "I almost fell asleep," Ruoping said. "It seems that my acting is not bad. Isn't it, Chen Shanjun?" Not only Qiu Shiling, but even Sakai's face changed instantly; Qiu Shiling looked at Lin Ruoping stiffly, and the latter also looked back at him steadily. "Ruoping, who is he?" Sakai gasped and asked with puzzled eyes. "He is Chen Shanjun." "But isn't he Qiu Shiling?" "They are the same person in Thailand." "In Thailand? What does this mean? They are obviously two different people!" Ruo Ping turned to Sakai, "It's a long story, anyway..." At the moment when the two people's attention was diverted from Qiu Shiling, Qiu Shiling suddenly threw himself towards the window. "Oops!" Ruoping jumped to the window, but the other party had turned over and went out. Ruo Ping leaned out to look down, and officers Sakai and Seri Luo crowded over. On the ground at the bottom of the third floor, a human body was lying prone without moving; the twisted face was lifeless and full of disillusionment, like dead yellow soil. There were screams from the crowd moving around the gate, and some gathered around.
