Chapter 5: A spirited pig

At the hospital, Charlotte underwent a simple examination and was found to have no problems.

The only problem is that ambulances in the United States are damn expensive.

This made the already difficult life even worse.

At this moment, Gwen was sitting next to Charlotte, her eyes were red and swollen, her lips were pouting and she looked unhappy.

Because her father George and another black police officer Hank will question Charlotte.

The attacker shut down all the cameras at Arkham Asylum, leaving the police with no information about the attacker.

The tragedy can only be narrated orally by the parties involved.

But Charlotte, who was unharmed, was the special one.

It's not just because Charlotte is the most sober of all the mentally ill people, but also because only Charlotte knows everything that happened in the kitchen.

The man in black who died in the kitchen was the only attacker to die.

It was not until they found him that the police learned the attacker's armament pattern.

The case is serious and the impact is extremely bad.

In particular, the other party came and went without a trace, playing with the New York police in the palm of their hands.

Apart from the body, the police currently do not have many directions to investigate.

As for the dead man in black, through investigation and evidence collection, it was found that his name was Blinken, a black American of Indian descent.

He is a veteran who participated in the Afghanistan War and a combat hero who was injured and retired.

According to investigation, his wife had run away long ago while he was in the army. He had no ties or relatives and made a living by breaking down walls at construction sites. But a month ago, he disappeared mysteriously and the indifferent foreman thought he was dead.

As for his former comrades, all of them died in a special operation, leaving him alone, who chose to retire.

It cannot be said that the investigation revealed nothing, but it can only be said that it yielded no results.

Now the pressure is on the forensic doctor.

According to the forensic judgment, Blinken's death was incredible. He died two hours after the police arrived at Arkham Sanatorium.

Yes, for two hours later, while they were busy moving bodies and sweating profusely tracking the attacker's tracks, one of the attackers had been in the kitchen.

Moreover, the injuries on the man in black were also very strange.

Especially his toes, all of which were shattered and fractured, as if they had been run over by a truck.

The legs were strained in many places and the muscles throughout the body were overloaded with exercise.

If it weren't for careful confirmation, the cause of his death would have been bleeding. The forensic doctor almost suspected that the attacker was exhausted to death.

The kitchen floor was covered with blood and footprints, all of which came from the same person's body. The scene was cruel and weird.

"Charlotte, we found your fingerprints on the rifle. Tell us, what happened in the kitchen?"

This is another reason to question Charlotte.

Charlotte's fingerprint was found on the trigger, but Charlotte was unharmed in the attack.

If George didn't know Charlotte, he would have suspected that it was Charlotte who forced the criminal who was shot in the leg and crotch to run with a rifle, and eventually caused him to die of exhaustion in the kitchen.

But this is totally illogical.

Not to mention how Charlotte got the rifle, not to mention that there were no bullets in the rifle, and only two bullet shells were found in the kitchen.

How can a rifle without bullets cause a criminal to bleed to death?

pistol?

There were no Charlotte's fingerprints on the pistol.

"Uncle George~" Charlotte began to narrate what had happened before in a sad tone:

"I was packing my things, you know, I was about to be discharged from the hospital, when I suddenly heard a noise outside the door, like someone setting off firecrackers to celebrate...

Curious, I opened the door and took a look, and saw Louise lying in front of me with blood all over her face.

I was scared, I was so scared! I ran away, towards the kitchen, but he...he caught up with me!

I took a table knife and hid behind the shelf..."

George looked serious, Gwen also clenched her hands, looking at Charlotte with a worried look, Hank took a pen and wrote and asked:

"and then?"

"Then..." Charlotte said with horror:

"Then he chased me, and he found me! He came up to me, and he smiled slyly, and he handed me the rifle, and he said: 'Hey, hey, hey, now it's your turn to chase me!'"

The pen in Hank's hand froze, and he raised his head and looked at Charlotte with disbelief, who had a serious expression.

"But~ I'm not that stupid?!" Charlotte raised her head proudly:

"I took the gun and pulled the trigger, injuring two of his legs.

Hehehehe~ You little brat~ You won’t be able to outrun me this way! "

As she spoke, Charlotte looked at the stunned George and smiled brightly, as if to take credit for it.

"He ran away, I chased him, he couldn't get away even if he had wings~

Then, it was his turn to chase me again!

But this time, he couldn't catch up with me no matter what. He could only watch me running at a brisk pace.

Finally, he was so tired from playing that he lay on the ground and fell asleep peacefully. "

Hank wrote down exactly what Charlotte said in a notebook. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it sounded much more outrageous than George's guess. He quickly wrote it down and went back to let the team members hear the truth of the matter.

Taking a deep breath, George turned his head to look at Gwen, who had opened her mouth wide, and asked:

"Gwen, are you sure Charlotte is fully recovered?"

"Hehe~" Gwen smiled awkwardly but politely:

"At least that's what Dr. Arthur thinks."

After two seconds of silence, George, who was speechless, patiently asked Charlotte:

"Charlotte, do you have anything else to say?"

"Yes~" Charlotte raised her forehead and asked hopefully:

"Is everyone okay? Are my friends all right?"

George opened his mouth, not knowing how to tell Charlotte the cruel truth, and could only say:

"Dr. Arthur is fine. He's your friend too, right?"

Charlotte nodded with a sad face.

After the questioning, George looked at Gwen who was sitting next to Charlotte. His face gradually darkened, and he and Hank next to him looked like brothers.

Gwen was cute and adorable when she was a child, while Charlotte next door was a naughty kid. He thought it was good to have a daughter, unlike having a son who would make him feel miserable every day.

But as Gwen grew older...

One thing George had to face was that he was becoming increasingly uneasy.

He was very afraid of that day, when Gwen came running and said, "Old Deng, my boyfriend's will-o'-the-wisp has stopped downstairs. Is it safe?"

He seemed to vaguely hear Charlotte coming forward and holding his head: "Take a deep breath, it's normal to feel dizzy!"

Clenching his fists, George roared as he looked at Gwen whispering to Charlotte:

"Gwen--!!! Don't disturb Charlotte's rest, go home immediately!"

Gwen curled her lips and said to Charlotte with a smile:

"Let's go! Let's go home together~"

Charlotte nodded and asked:

"What about your old man Deng? Will he be busy all night?"

"Don't worry about him! Anyway, I've been alone at home lately. Do you want to come to my house and see my new luminous wall clock?" "Luminous wall clock! Of course I want to see it! It's really hot!"

George was furious. After so many years, he suddenly felt dissatisfied with Charlotte today!

This is not the naughty kid from the neighbor's house, this is a spirited pig!!
