Chapter 272: Secret Investigation in the Hospital (Ch 272)

Normal people would call the police if they saw a murder. But Ai saw the suspected murder scene, but she remained silent at Mochizuki’s request, pretending she saw nothing.

Because Wangyue knew that if she really ran out and told lies, she would fall into the criminal’s trap.

Just as Mochizuki expected, in the utility room on the seventh floor of the hospital, after Dr. Shirai performed with the dummy, he quickly turned off the lights and ran out of the utility room, hiding in the corridor and waiting. He thought that it would not be long before Mochizuki would run out and shout “Oh no! Someone was killed!” or something like that.

When the police arrived, they couldn’t find the victim, the ward opposite was empty, and there was no trace of blood. Everyone would think that Mochizuki was hallucinating.

“What’s even better is that Mochizuki just happened to have a head injury! It’s not surprising for a person with a head injury to have hallucinations. It’s simply God’s help! As long as he comes a few more times and I kill Eto, then I can frame him naturally.”

Dr. Shirai was secretly proud of himself for a long time, but suddenly he realized that something was wrong.

How come it’s been so long and there’s still no movement from Wangyue?

Looking closely, there was no light on in Wangyue’s ward.

“Could he have fallen asleep?” Doctor Shirai was confused. “It’s only been less than five minutes since he turned off the lights. How could he have fallen asleep? Is this guy a pig?”

If he really has fallen asleep, then wouldn’t my performance have been in vain?

…

A night passed in a flash, and the next morning, Nurse Zhongshan came to the ward for routine questioning. Neither Wangyue nor Xiaoai mentioned the murder they saw last night, because it was obvious that it was a trap.

The hospital was crowded with people during the day, and if someone was killed in the hospital, it would have been discovered the next morning. However, the atmosphere in the hospital was normal, and no gossip spread.

“How did you sleep last night?” Dr. Shirai also walked into the ward and asked Mochizuki kindly. His smile and attitude were exactly like a textbook doctor’s template.

If she didn’t know the inside story, Wangyue would have thought he was a well-respected and good doctor.

Wangyue smiled back, “Thanks to you, I fell asleep right after the trip.”

Tsk! He really fell asleep, and my efforts were in vain! Doctor Shirai was very angry, but the smile on his face did not change. “That’s good. Sufficient sleep is also very helpful for the recovery of wounds.”

After Mochizuki’s reminder, Ai and Akemi became a little more cautious towards this doctor, but like Mochizuki, they also showed respect and gratitude to Dr. Shirai on the surface.

The nurse Nakayama Kazumi smiled and said to Mochizuki, “You are really lucky. Doctor Shirai will perform the surgery on you. Doctor Shirai’s surgical skills are famous. Everyone says that Doctor Shirai will become the new director.”

Mingmei asked curiously, “New dean?”

“Yes, because the old dean has retired, we need to elect a new dean. The most popular candidates are Dr. Shirai and Dr. Eto. I think Dr. Shirai will be the winner.” Nurse Nakayama courted Dr. Shirai, “Dr. Shirai, I congratulate you in advance on becoming the dean. Remember to promote me when the time comes!”

“Haha, you’re exaggerating. The election hasn’t even started yet.” Shirai pretended to be modest. “I think that Eto Shengli is more suitable to be the dean than me… but it’s all fair competition.”

…

The ward rounds were over quickly and the nurses and doctors left.

Ai made a guess, “From the fact that Dr. Shirai deliberately opened the curtains for us, the shadow from last night should be related to him. If he really wants to kill someone, I think the target is most likely the doctor named Eto Shengli.”

Mingmei nodded. She thought so too. She could even guess the motive for the murder. “As long as we get rid of our rival, Eto Shengli, Dr. Shirai might be able to take the position of dean without any suspense with his superb medical skills and popularity.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Mochizuki declined to comment, but Dr. Shirai’s surgical skills were indeed very good.

“Are you very concerned about what happened last night?” Wangyue saw that they all wanted to find out the truth.

Ai first looked at Mochizuki’s expression, then replied: “It’s true a little… but it’s better not to meddle in other people’s business, right?” It was Mochizuki who said not to meddle in other people’s business last night.

Wangyue smiled and said, “I told you last night to go to bed and not to meddle in other people’s business. Now that I have nothing to do, I can investigate it. Besides, Doctor Shirai seems to have some conspiracy against me. I will not feel at ease if I don’t investigate it.”

To find out what happened, Mochizuki, Xiaoai, and Mingmei left the ward and started investigating in the hospital. Mochizuki’s injury was on his head, so there was no need for him to lie down all the time, and he also wanted to walk more.

First they came to the ward where they saw the shadow last night. This ward was empty, with nothing in it, not even a bed. The business of this hospital was not good, and there were many unused rooms, which could be seen from the fact that Mochizuki occupied an ordinary ward by himself.

“There is no blood on the ground, but there is a lot of dust, which proves that this place has not been cleaned for a long time.” Xiao Ai squatted down and took a look, but could not find even a trace of blood on the ground.

Judging from the process of the “murder” yesterday, the victim was stabbed from the back by the murderer and then fell to the ground. If this is true, there would be no blood on the ground.

613 “It’s really an act. The victim you saw at that time should have been just a puppet.” Mingmei secretly admired Mochizuki, who actually guessed that there was something wrong with this matter on the spot.

The criminal deliberately let us see the “murder” scene, it must not be just a prank. If Mochizuki and Xiaoai really called the police and ran over here to check, but found nothing, what consequences would it cause? []

Mingmei couldn’t guess what the prisoner wanted to do, but she knew he definitely had bad intentions.

“In addition to the bloodstains, there is something that should have been there but we haven’t found it.” Wangyue suddenly spoke after observation.

Xiao Ai asked in confusion: “What is it?”

“Look at the dust on the ground. If someone had come in, there would have been footprints on the ground. But now there are only our footprints on the ground, no one else’s footprints.”

Ai and Mingmei bent down and observed the dust from the side, and found that it was exactly as Mochizuki said, which made her feel difficult to understand.

“How is it possible…why are there no footprints?”

The prisoner couldn’t possibly fly, could he? As long as he kept his feet on the ground, he would leave traces on the dust. However, there were only the footprints of the three of them entering the room. Why was that?

Mochizuki said slowly: “Because the criminal is not acting in this room.”
