  Trickery

  He wouldn't let an old timer block his way.

  He grabbed Grandpa Daniel's wrist, twisted it back, snatched away the kettle, and threw it back.

  Then, tripping his foot, he knocked Grandpa Daniel down to the ground and rushed out.

  Just as Emma helped Aunt Ava up, she saw the kettle flying towards them.

  She quickly reached out and caught it, placing it on the ground.

  She then passed through Aunt Ava and shouted to Grandpa Daniel, 'Call the police quickly!' He ran out from the house and saw many onlookers in the hallway.

  Emma was still chasing behind, so he yelled at these busybodies, 'She's a fake nurse, stop her.

  She's crazy and wants to kill me, stop her!' The clueless onlookers thought Emma was really insane and immediately swarmed in, blocking Emma's path.

  'Move aside, quickly move aside!' Emma attempted to rush through, but there were too many onlookers.

  In the meantime, that guy took the opportunity to slip away.

  She was very angry.

  If it weren't for the fact that her foot was not wearing shoes and made running uncomfortable, she would have caught up with that guy a long time ago.

  The onlookers in front of her made her even angrier.

  They truly believed she was crazy.

  Without these people, that guy wouldn't have been able to escape.

  'Let go of me! That guy just now was a fake doctor, don't believe what he said!' 'Are you really a nurse at this hospital?' 'Where's your work ID?' 'How do you prove you're not crazy?' The onlookers tightly held onto Emma, convinced that she was a lunatic.

  Emma couldn't explain herself at this moment.

  She was so angry that she wanted to beat these bastards nearby.

  Luckily, Grandpa Daniel arrived in time.

  'You got it wrong.

  That person just now was not a doctor, he was an imposter trying to kill my wife!' Grandpa Daniel shouted.

  'Do you think we're idiots? What makes us believe your words?' These onlookers saw themselves as heroes and didn't want to admit their mistake.

  They even regarded Grandpa Daniel as crazy.

  'I am a family member of a patient in this hospital.

  If you don't believe me, you can go and check.' Grandpa Daniel said, 'I've already called the police.

  They will be here soon, you can wait for the police.' As soon as the onlookers heard that the police had been called, no one wanted to cause trouble anymore.

  They scattered in an instant, but there were still people whispering, convinced that the two of them were crazy.

  'Miss, it's you,' Grandpa Daniel stared at Emma's face and said."

  Emma noticed that she had lost her mask in the chaos just now.

  She smiled slightly and asked, "Aunt Ava, are you okay?" "I'm fine, thank you for your help," Mr.

  Daniel said gratefully.

  "No need to thank me.

  Let's go check on Aunt Ava," Emma said.

  Aunt Ava's condition did not look optimistic.

  She was once again frightened and clamored to leave the hospital.

  "Aunt Ava, it may not be safe at home.

  Don't forget, he knows where you live," Emma reminded.

  Aunt Ava was dumbfounded and sat on the bed, saying, "Then what should I do? That guy wants to kill me, he will definitely come again." "Mr.

  Daniel has already reported to the police.

  If you have any problems, let's wait for the police to come," Emma thought it would be best if the police could assign someone to protect Aunt Ava twenty-four seven.

  This way, the culprit wouldn't bother Aunt Ava anymore.

  "That's all we can do for now," Aunt Ava said.

  A few minutes later, two exhausted police officers arrived at the hospital in their car.

  The workbook in their hands had already turned several pages, indicating that they had dealt with quite a few minor cases tonight.

  Although Emma and Aunt Ava both explained to the police that this attack was related to a homicide, the police officers, who had to handle several or even dozens of minor cases overnight, didn't think so.

  They just wanted to finish quickly and go back, so they concluded that it was just a normal dispute case.

  After making a simple record, they left.

  He didn't actually run away, but hid near the hospital, planning to find another chance to go after Aunt Ava.

  He had to make this old lady shut up.

  He saw the police car arrive at the hospital, and then saw the police officers coming out, preparing to leave.

  These police officers were really idiots, they couldn't do anything.

  He could rest assured and do what he wanted.

  He originally planned to mix into the hospital again after the police officers left.

  Just at that moment, he saw a familiar figure get off a taxi not far away.

  It was that detective.

  He suddenly changed his mind.

  This damn detective had everything planned out, deliberately making his assistant stay in the hospital and trying to stop him, causing him a lot of trouble.

  Well, since you dislike me so much, I'll get rid of you first.

  The rest will be much simpler.

  It's not suitable to make a move in the hospital, so he decided to take the detective to another place, a place where a detective would definitely go.

  A smile appeared on his face again.

  He walked to a nearby taxi and lightly tapped on the car window, waking up the drowsy driver.

  The driver rubbed his heavy eyelids and looked at the other person with bloodshot eyes.

  "Sir, do you need a ride?" "No," he shook his head.

  He knew how angry a sleeping taxi driver would be if he was disturbed and didn't get any benefits from it.

  So, before the driver got angry, he took out a hundred yuan bill and handed it over.

  "I want you to do me a favor." Money can change a lot of things, and the taxi driver's anger immediately disappeared.

  He replaced it with a smile and said, "Is there anything I can do for you?" "Did you see that person?" he pointed to the detective who was walking towards the hospital gate.

  The taxi driver glanced and nodded, saying, "Sir, is that your friend?" "Sort of," he replied, "Do you have a pen and paper?" "Will this do?" The taxi driver found an old ballpoint pen and a piece of paper in the glove compartment.

  He wrote a line on the paper, handed it to the taxi driver, and said, "Remember, his name is Benjamin.

  When he comes out later, give this to him and follow his instructions.

  He will pay you handsomely for it." "Alright," the taxi driver accepted the note, "Leave it to me, I will personally deliver it to him." The detective had already entered the hospital gate and no longer spoke to the taxi driver.

  He knew that once the detective saw the note, he would immediately come looking for him, alone.

  Of course, things could also go awry; if the detective brought the police instead of coming alone, he would abandon the plan.

  Now he had to do something important to deal with this annoying detective.

  Benjamin noticed the police car that had just left, and he knew something had happened inside the hospital.

  There was still some commotion inside the hospital, and there were patients and their families in the corridor who should have been asleep.

  "What happened just now?" "It seems someone disguised themselves as a nurse." "Really? Did the police take her away?" "No.

  I heard she knew the police and disguised herself as a nurse to protect someone." "Oh my, so there are important figures in the hospital?" "I don't know, but not long ago, the person disguising as a nurse had a dispute with a doctor, and later that doctor fled.

  I heard the doctor was also fake." "What?" ...

  The sound of discussion kept reaching Benjamin's ears, forcing him to quicken his pace and head towards the ward.

  "I told you that guy would come back, what should we do? Oh heavens, you better inform the police and have them send someone to protect me." Aunt Ava exclaimed in fear.

  Just a moment ago, she nearly got killed, and now thinking about it still terrified her.

  "Aunt Ava, I stayed in the hospital to protect you," Emma explained.

  "How can you, a girl, protect me?" Aunt Ava looked at Emma suspiciously, not believing that a girl could guarantee her safety.

  "I know you have doubts about me, but the fact is, I just saved your life a moment ago.

  If it wasn't for some troublemakers in the hospital, I would have caught him by now." Emma felt angry when she thought about what happened earlier.

  She could have caught him, but there was a small accident.

  Benjamin overheard Aunt Ava and Emma's conversation outside the door, he cleared his throat and walked in.

  "Aunt Ava, are you okay?" "Is it you?" Aunt Ava looked towards Benjamin.

  As soon as Emma saw Benjamin, she said, "That guy came again just now, I could have caught him, but..." Benjamin interrupted Emma and said, "I've found new evidence, we can close the net now." "That's great.

  You're amazing, Benjamin."

  "Emma exclaimed with excitement, after having dealt with the killer for two days, everything could finally come to an end.

  'Before catching that guy, I want you to stay here,' Benjamin said.

  'What?' Emma felt a bit disappointed, she wanted to accompany Benjamin in apprehending the killer.

  'I don't want any mistakes,' Benjamin explained, turning to Ava Auntie.

  'I have found new evidence and will soon capture the killer.

  Until then, Emma will stay here to ensure your safety.' 'Her?' Ava Auntie looked at Emma with a skeptical gaze once again.

  'Don't underestimate her.

  She has a special forces background and can handle four or five ordinary people.

  With her, she is more reliable than the police,' Benjamin assured.

  Grandpa Daniel, who had injured his arm during the fight with the killer, rubbed his arm and shouted at Ava Auntie, 'Let her stay, without her, both of us would have been dead by now!' Ava Auntie remembered how the police had only conducted a simple inquiry and left, which made her angry.

  'Those police officers are indeed unreliable,' she said.

  Benjamin came to the hospital primarily to confirm Ava Auntie's safety.

  Now that he saw she was fine, he felt relieved and said, 'Ava Auntie, you don't have to worry about catching that guy anymore.

  However, I need a favor from you.' 'What favor?' Ava Auntie asked.

  Benjamin replied, 'After we catch that guy, I need you to identify him.' Ava Auntie hesitated and asked Benjamin, 'Are you really a writer? Honestly, I am very skeptical of your identity.

  I don't believe any writer would be more determined than the police to catch a thief.' Benjamin smiled and said, 'Actually, I am a detective.' 'A detective?' 'Simply put, my job is to uncover the truth and solve mysteries.' 'I know what a detective is,' Ava Auntie thought carefully and said in a deep voice, 'Alright then.

  I don't trust the police, but I trust you.

  When you catch that guy, I will go to the police station to identify him!' 'Thank you,' Benjamin turned to Emma and said, 'Contact James for me and ask him to notify the victim's family to come to the police station.' 'Now?' Emma asked.

  It was already late, not to mention the victim's family, even the police were likely off duty by this time.

  'Yes.

  I don't want to waste any time.

  After closing the case, I want to go back and get a good night's sleep,' Benjamin replied.

  Emma contacted James using her phone and informed him about Benjamin's new evidence and the purpose of the call.

  This time, James's attitude was not as hostile as before, but unfortunately, he said he couldn't contact the victim's family as he had lost their contact information.

  'Lost it, what does he think it is, some object?' Emma complained after hanging up the phone.

  'Just as I thought,' Benjamin said quietly."

  Emma couldn't hear clearly and asked, "What did you say?" "Nothing," Benjamin replied.

  "Oh, by the way, how is the killer's right arm?" "What do you mean?" Emma asked.

  "Aunt Ava said she bit the guy, and I want to know how badly his right arm was injured." "Aunt Ava's bite probably wasn't serious.

  At least I don't think his right arm was affected.

  But that guy definitely hid something in his sleeve; it was hard." "I see," Benjamin replied, very pleased with Emma's answer.

  "Goodbye, wait here for my good news." "Be careful," Emma couldn't help but worry about Benjamin facing the killer alone.
