At that moment, several more gunshots rang out. Gu Ran activated his White Eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a black man with white hair holding a 1911 pistol, grabbing a doctor and pointing the gun at him.
Next to the doctor, a female nurse had collapsed to the ground.
The people around immediately took cover, and a doctor in blue clothes raised his hand, seemingly explaining something to the white-haired black man.
But the white-haired, black-clad man ignored him completely, shot the doctor he was holding, and then fired at the doctor in blue.
The doctor in blue couldn't dodge in time and was shot in the leg.
The white-haired, black man raised his gun, ready to finish off the fallen doctor.
But the next second, when he pulled the trigger, he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist.
It was Gu Ran who made the move.
Wind Escape·Wind Blade!
A whirlwind, sharp as a blade, appeared at his fingertips and flew towards the pistol.
The wind blade, imbued with wind-attribute chakra, is like the sharpest blade, capable of cutting through anything!
But Gu Ran restrained his strength, only severing the tendons in the wrist of the white-haired, black-faced man holding the gun.
The white-haired, black man's right hand, which was holding the gun, suddenly went limp, and the black 1911 pistol fell to the ground.
The white-haired, black-brother was shocked and, not knowing what was happening, clutched his hand and cried out in pain.
A hospital security guard who was taking cover from bullets nearby saw this and immediately rushed forward and tackled the white-haired, black man to the ground.
The American security guards, who had been hiding outside in the bunker and dared not approach, boldly rushed in and together subdued the black man!
This sudden hospital shooting is finally over.
After the criminals were arrested, the hospital returned to normal and resumed normal operations.
However, the hospital staff were still shaken and discussed the matter extensively.
Gu Ran did some gossip and found out it was a medical dispute!
It seems that the white-haired, black-brother's wife gave birth here before, but she had a difficult labor, and neither the mother nor the baby survived.
This black man's hair turned white overnight, and when he sought an explanation, he was met with excuses from all sides. The relevant departments did not consider it a medical accident, but merely an incident.
But the black man refused to admit it, insisting that the doctor had killed his wife and child, which led to today's scene...
The medical disputes in the United States are really something else. When they escalate, they resort to the American-style Iaijutsu trial, giving no chance whatsoever, and execute the perpetrators directly by firing squad.
Gu Ran has certainly broadened his horizons...
*……*……*
Because the previous case of a pregnant woman undergoing a cesarean section had caused a great stir in the local area, and coupled with the shooting incident that occurred during the day, the pregnant women rarely moved around in their wards at night.
The hospital has also increased patrols.
Chu Zihang always came to investigate at night, after everyone had fallen asleep.
“Actually, I think the driver on the night shift is more suspicious.” Late at night, Gu Ran had a small meeting with Chu Zihang on the hospital rooftop.
Chu Zihang asked, "Why?"
"The daytime driver has a family with him, and I've been to his house; there's nothing suspicious about it. The night shift driver lives alone in an apartment building with excellent security. His salary... doesn't seem like he can afford the property management fees and rent."
"Did you break into the night shift driver's house?" Chu Zihang continued to ask.
“We infiltrated him,” Gu Ran said. “There’s no evidence, but his house is quite luxuriously decorated, and his quality of life is seriously mismatched with his income.”
Chu Zihang pondered for a while and agreed with Gu Ran's analysis.
Because of their dragon bloodline, they are all affected by the 'sorrow of blood', and most of them will feel lonely and often live alone.
He told Gu Ran about the recent investigation:
“The night shift driver spends most of his time sleeping at the hospital. I haven’t seen him do anything at night, which is probably because the security has been tight recently, making him more vigilant and unlikely to commit any crimes for the time being.”
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you need to catch him red-handed; to catch an adulterer, you need to catch them in the act. The secret service also needs solid evidence to take action against someone.
In this situation, we can only continue to wait and see, hoping the night shift driver will slip up.
*……*……*
Bruce Green is an ambulance driver at a maternity hospital who works the night shift.
Secretly, his official ID shows him as 48 years old, but his actual age is over 90. He only looks younger because of his bloodline.
He was born into a mixed-race family, but over the years, the family has declined and its members have dwindled.
However, his family left him a large inheritance, which would allow him to live a life free from financial worries.
Bruce didn't want children because he had witnessed a mixed-race woman giving birth when he was a child. The fetus cut open the pregnant woman's abdomen and came out of the placenta with wings.
It poked its head out and let out a dragon's roar from outside its belly!
The pregnant woman's husband took a shotgun and blasted the mutated fetus into a bloody pulp on the spot, then held his dead wife and wept bitterly.
Bruce was traumatized by witnessing this scene, which is why he never had children or even got married.
But... he likes pregnant women.
Chapter 224 Mission Completed Perfectly
Whenever Bruce Green sees pregnant women gently stroking their bellies with tender expressions, he is reminded of his own mother.
Therefore, working at the maternity hospital gives Bruce a sense of peace and tranquility.
If he could, he would work here for the rest of his life.
However, he increasingly felt himself growing old.
Although it's not outwardly apparent, he's felt increasingly powerless when trying to exercise with women over the past year.
How much longer can I watch these pregnant women radiating maternal love?
One day, Bruce found an alchemy notebook that had been passed down in his family.
One theory suggests that the blood of an unborn fetus is the purest and most active, and that after refinement, it can be used to prolong life…
It also records the case studies that the family conducted back then. When they first arrived here, the Civil War had just ended.
The mixed-race families who came to the western region began cultivating cotton fields, while secretly continuing to keep Native Americans and enslaved Africans, forcing them to have children and then using the fetal blood to nourish the people...
This experiment was carried out by the family for nearly seventy years until it was discovered by a mysterious organization called the Abraham Blood Pact, which stopped the experiment. In the end, the main person in charge of the family was also wiped out by this mysterious organization.
Their family began to decline from then on, eventually migrating from the West to the East Coast and settling in New York.
Bruce didn't pay much attention to the alchemical notes at first glance, because according to the experimental records, fetal blood had an effect, but it needed to be taken for a long time.
He didn't want to add to the problem.
But as he grew older, watching pregnant women give birth in the hospital, seeing new lives being born one by one, he suddenly felt afraid—afraid of dying alone, afraid of never seeing these expectant mothers radiating maternal love again.
Therefore, he wanted to live, and he wanted to live a longer life.
So they began to conduct the alchemical experiment again.
At first, he only used stillborn fetuses for experiments, but found that inactive blood was completely useless.
Even newborn babies are not allowed.
Only fetuses that are three days before delivery are eligible.
During his vacation, he went to an obstetrics and gynecology hospital in neighboring Mexico and conducted a cruel alchemical experiment using fetal blood from pregnant women.
After using it a few times, he didn't know if it was a placebo effect or if it really worked, but he really felt younger!
Back in New York, Bruce, feeling like he'd regained his youth, immediately called up three female gamers and they battled until dawn.
He felt he could do it again!
So every now and then, he would go to Mexico to commit a crime, or go to other countries in Central America.
Originally, the whole plan was flawless; as long as he continued to commit crimes outside the United States, there would be no problem at all.
But a few days ago, he couldn't resist.
Perhaps because of the excessive killing, he became increasingly unable to control his emotions. Finally, at one point, his dragon blood boiled to its limit, and he committed the crime at the hospital where he worked.
It wasn't until he drank the fetal serum refined through alchemy that he realized what he had done.
A case like this, committed in a major hospital in a busy area, will definitely attract a lot of attention.
It might even lead to the Abrahamic blood pact.
Over the years, he also learned that the Abrahamic Blood Cult, which had wiped out his family, had another name: the 'Dragon Blood Cult,' an organization whose goal was to slay dragons.
Bruce knew he had to keep a low profile and couldn't continue committing crimes.
Therefore, he was suppressing his impulse.
He even stopped going to the alchemy room.
……
Before I knew it, eleven days had passed.
Chu Zihang's hospital room has already seen two different groups of patients.
Originally, the people admitted to the obstetrics and gynecology hospital were all women who were about to give birth.
It's abnormal for someone like Chu Zihang to stay for almost half a month at a time.
Fortunately, the executive department arranged for Chu Zihang to be diagnosed with a rare and difficult disease. He was placed in a special ward, and later, after paying enough money, he was moved to a private room. They also paid the doctors and nurses to keep quiet and not ask any questions.
After nearly two weeks of calm, the hospital's security relaxed.
Bruce also felt that everything should be fine, and there were no detectives in the hospital.
Late that night, all was quiet.
Bruce, who had been holding back for a long time, came to the hospital again.
A safer approach would be to continue searching for fetuses in hospitals in less developed regions of the world, which would be a more secure way to commit the crime.
But he always had an urge to continue committing crimes at the hospital where he had worked for twenty years, as this would bring him greater satisfaction and peace of mind.
He quietly entered the VIP ward, a private room with luxurious furnishings and excellent soundproofing...
