Wouldn't He Jump Out the Window?

Lu Bai did not reply, but maintained his kind smile and nodded slightly, signaling Changhu to continue explaining his purpose.

This was the first time he had ever seen a fighter so brazenly reveal their identity.

It seems either he's lost his mind, or he's just too confident in himself.

"You're not a self-taught fighter, are you? Since you came from Deathmatch School, how exactly did your teachers train you? How did they get you to wear a title so early?"

Changhu made no attempt to hide his curiosity.

Lu Bai sized up Changhu. He had a bronze complexion, a slightly rugged appearance, and an overall aggressive look.

He tilted his head. "Why hide it?"

"You probably think it's amazing to get a title in the first round."

Changhu felt that the hospital gown he was wearing didn't fit him very well, so he simply unbuttoned the two buttons on his chest.

He looked up at the four large, emerald-green characters floating above Lu Bai's head. "But this is nothing to brag about. I have two titles like this."

As he finished speaking, he turned his gaze back to Lu Bai's face, grinning, "So you'd better watch out. I'll be keeping an eye on you, so don't get separated from me."

"Oh, you ranked first in your first round of Deathmatch Showdown."

Lu Bai's gentle expression remained unchanged.

Changhu continued, "I originally planned to come directly to you, but the police arrived too quickly, otherwise we could have had some fun."

It was clear that Changhu had been trying to put pressure on Lu Bai with words, but with little success.

He realized this too, and added, "According to these witnesses, you have a partner, is he a pretty boy with decent skills?"

He thought he could provoke the other party, but Lu Bai did not react as he expected.

Lu Bai asked in a seemingly casual tone.

"No wonder your hospital gown doesn't fit properly. If you haven't been on this floor long, then you must have killed all the patients in the room behind you, right?"

As he spoke, he pulled out his identification.

He suddenly roared, "Put your hands behind your head and squat down immediately! I suspect you are involved in this serious criminal case. You have the right to remain silent. If you do not remain silent, everything you say will be used as evidence in court!"

Lu Bai's voice was very loud.

It immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Not to mention Pu Guangrong, who rushed out of the ward at the first moment, even the patients and their families were craning their necks to look in his direction.

The police officers in the corridor, who were already on high alert, swarmed over as soon as they saw the commotion on his side.

Such a serious public safety incident, yet not a single suspect has been apprehended.

"Is this the only trick you know?" Changhu was both amused and annoyed.

But he didn't lose his composure; he quickly retreated into the ward and locked the door.

During this process, Lu Bai habitually raised his right hand, but then forced himself to hold it back.

It's troublesome enough that Xu Qiang is making excuses for them.

With so many people watching, it's indeed difficult to explain why someone would suddenly pull out Long Fang and have it witnessed by so many people.

Anyway, hiding in the ward would only lead to being trapped like a turtle in a jar. This is the sixth floor; that guy isn't going to just jump out the window, is he?

Several police officers rushed to Lu Bai and banged on the door repeatedly.

"Open the door! Open the door!!!"

I advise you not to resist stubbornly!

"Open the door! Don't hide inside and keep quiet!"

Pu Guangrong also quickly ran to Lu Bai's side.

He glanced at the ward door, then at Lu Bai, and frowned, asking, "Team Leader Lu, what happened?"

"It's nothing serious. There's a suspicious man in a hospital gown. I remember there were only two old men in this room."

Lu Bai briefly described the situation.

However, Pu Guangrong was unaware of the details, so he leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Parasitic Organism?"

Lu Bai hesitated for two seconds, then said, "It should be."

Having received an affirmative answer, Pu Guangrong pushed aside the police officers blocking the door and slammed the door twice with his shoulder.

Realizing the door was of good quality, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Go find a battering ram!"

Crash~

The door was smashed open, leaving a hole the size of a bowl.

Pu Guangrong crouched down, glanced inside, and, confirming there was no danger, reached in and quickly unlocked the door.

Pu Guangrong kicked open the door, pulled out his sidearm, and carefully moved along the corner of the wall.

Unlike Detective Pu, Lu Bai was not on high alert. He walked into the ward as if taking a stroll and immediately noticed the violently damaged Blinds.

"Did he really jump off the building?"

He quickly walked to the window, stuck his head out and looked around, but there was no sign of Changhu.

That's outrageous.

The walls of the Inpatient Department are very smooth, unlike those of a normal residential building which have awnings, security grilles, and air conditioner outdoor units.

Even Lu Bai couldn't guarantee he'd survive jumping from the sixth floor.

After all, [Flash Time] couldn't slow down his fall.

"This is absolutely outrageous."

Pu Guangrong's heart sank when he saw the two elderly people's corpses in the ward.

He walked over, squatted down, and took a quick look.

The body still retained some warmth, indicating that it hadn't been dead for very long.

Both bodies were neatly piled up in the corner near the door. The hospital gown on one of the bodies had been removed, and these details show that the perpetrator had a strong mental fortitude.

"Team Leader Lu, could you please provide a description of the murderer's appearance?" Pu Guangrong asked, turning his head.

When they went out on duty, they naturally brought along criminal sketch technicians.

"Do you think someone who can jump straight down from the sixth floor is a normal person?"

Lu Bai did not give a direct answer, but the subtext was clear: you should mind your own business.

At the same time.

Ding dong~

The elevator doors on the sixth floor opened again.

Xu Qiang finally arrived with the Special Affairs Bureau's field agents.

He kept his eyes straight ahead and began with his usual refrain. "I am Xu Qiang from the Special Affairs Bureau. This case involves Parasitic Organism. Please hand over the scene to the Special Affairs Bureau."

Early morning.

A breakfast shop near the hospital entrance.

Lu Bai took a sip of porridge, then looked at Xu Qiang sitting in front of him.

Director Xu was holding a fried dough stick, but he wasn't eating it.

"What, wasn't this something we expected?" Lu Bai teased with a chuckle.

The reason Xu Qiang was in a gloomy mood was that Pu Guangrong had not yet withdrawn his troops.

It wasn't that the veteran detective was being disrespectful; it was simply that someone higher up had given prior notice.

They said the matter of the Parasitic Organism no longer needed to be kept secret, and in order to improve efficiency, they hoped that the Special Affairs Bureau could cooperate with the police in future cases.

Xu Qiang stared at the fried dough stick in his hand, his brow furrowed deeply.

"What do you think the mayor's motive is in playing this move?"
