Chapter V Buck Is Extremely Dangerous

Winnie’s words stunned me. Buck murdered White?!

Just when I was about to inquire, Winnie grabbed my wrist and couldn’t wait to say, “Come on. You’ll be dead when Buck comes out!”

Without further ado, Winnie dragged me away from White’s door.

I was a little confused. First, I couldn’t believe that White was actually murdered by Buck; second, was that I was somewhat shy and excited to be held by a beauty like Snow White.

Winnie’s hand was as soft and bouncy as jelly, but a little cold.

At this time, the moon was bright and the night wind was cool. As we ran, Winnie’s long golden hair flew to the back of her head, perfectly showing her delicate face. On her shell-like ears, there were sparkling four-pointed star earrings.

Winnie was so beautiful that for a while I couldn’t find words to describe her beauty.

I even began to suspect that her beauty was not earthly, and there was a faint fragrance from her that fascinated me.

I never believed in love at first sight.

But then, I found myself wrong.

I fell in love with Winnie, just the pure love for wonder, without any possessiveness, and I also felt deeply inferior for being a stowaway with blonde hair and black eyes.

I consider my fondness for Winnie sacrilege.

When I stopped thinking about it and regained my senses, Winnie had dragged me out of the town.

“Where are you taking me?” I asked.

Winnie stopped, panted, looked at the town, and said nervously, “Go back to the hospital quickly. You must be careful when you see Buck in the future. Don’t believe him. He is a perverted murderer.”

Winnie’s words scared me. Although the United States is a highly developed and free country, there are many perverted murderous demons.

For example, the top murderous maniacs in history Henry Lee Lucas, Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer nicknamed “The Milwaukee Monster”, and serial killer Edward Theodore Gein, etc.

After I was smuggled into the United States, there was a murderer called “Motherlander” among the stowaways. “Motherlander” was an extreme nationalist who was fond of hunting and killing stowaways, and cutting off and frying their genitals to eat.

Could it be that Buck was the perverted murderous maniac “Motherlander”?!!

With chills down my spine, I asked, “How did Buck kill White?”

Winnie took another look at the way we came and said, “Buck pushed him off the hospital roof. If you don’t believe me, you can go back and ask the people in the hospital.”

“Then why didn’t the police arrest him?”

“Because of lack of evidence. Hurry back to the hospital, take my word for it, and don’t trust Buck. He is an extremely dangerous man.”

We Chinese believe that a person’s face reflects their inner. Buck looked unlike a kind person, and Winnie’s words made me suspect that Buck was not a good guy.

Winnie was very afraid of Buck. After telling me, she couldn’t wait to leave and disappeared into the night.

Looking at the direction in which Winnie disappeared, I was somewhat lost, and then I couldn’t wait to walk in the direction of the hospital.

On the way back to the hospital, I recalled the whole thing and what Buck had said, and it occurred to me that Buck had some words that contradicted his actions.

Buck said that the souls of those who died in the hospital would be imprisoned in the backyard of the hospital. Since White’s soul was imprisoned in the backyard of the hospital, shouldn’t White’s soul be in the backyard of the hospital?

But Buck said he would take me to White’s grave to console the dead.

Clearly Buck was trying to trick me into going to the cemetery for an ulterior purpose!

It seemed Winnie was right: Buck is extremely dangerous!

Running all the way back to the hospital, I climbed over the wall and entered the backyard. Only the lights on the sixth floor of the seven-story hospital building were still lit. I went back to the dormitory and prepared the baton.

In the United States, security guards can wear guns, but because of my special status, I could not enjoy the right.

With things on my mind, I lay tossing and turning in bed, until nearly dawn before I fell into a faint sleep.

When I woke up alertly, I found that it was already 9:13am. The hospital stipulated that the door should be opened at 9:00am, but it was 13 minutes late!

I was so stunned that I quickly got up, rushed out of the room and opened the back gate of the hospital. I glanced at the hospital building with a guilty conscience, and prayed in my heart that I would not be found out of my dereliction of duty.

As a result, I felt a sudden “squeak” in my heart.

There was a man standing by the window on the far right of the sixth floor of the hospital. The man was not wearing a white coat, but a black suit, and he was smoking.

Wearing a suit in the hospital and smoking, he must be an officer of the hospital.

The “officer” was standing in front of the window staring at me. I was anxious and hurried back to the bedroom. I took out the weeding tools and began to act, and didn’t feel a sense of relief until the “officer” disappeared from the window.

However, I didn’t dare stop. On an empty stomach, I spent the whole morning cleaning out the entire courtyard, which exhausted me.

After lunch, I went to see Morgan during my break.

I didn’t go to Morgan to admit I wasn’t doing my job well, but to find something out.

Morgan was alone in his office, and was very enthusiastic when he saw me. He poured me water and handed me a cigarette, which flattered me.

Morgan had sharp eyes and said, “You don’t look well today. Did you not sleep well last night?”

I said honestly, “Yep. I heard that the backyard of the hospital was haunted, and I felt a bit upset.”

Morgan glanced at me and said with a smile, “Aren’t you Chinese atheists?” Seeing me with a wry smile, he said, “Sorry. I was joking.”

I said, “I heard there was a murder in the hospital where a patient named White was pushed from the hospital building and fell to his death. Is that true?”

Morgan frowned and asked, “Who did you hear that from?”

“Winnie, Winnie Taylor. She was a hospital patient, and the driver’s license I found in the backyard was hers.”

Morgan took a tumble and said: “I almost forgot about that until you mentioned it. I asked in the hospital. There was indeed a patient named Winnie Taylor in the hospital. I heard that she is very pretty, like the star Judy Garland.”

After a pause, Morgan added: “It was true that a black man named White fell to his death in the hospital, but it was definitely not a murder. He committed suicide because he couldn’t bear the pain of his illness. Calling it a murder is a lie, a smear on the reputation of the hospital. Chen, you are also a member of the hospital now, and you should be responsible for maintaining the reputation of the hospital. Do you understand?”

I was deeply concerned. Of course I understood that it was not uncommon for someone to commit suicide in a hospital, but murder would definitely have a bad impact and damage the reputation of the hospital.

So even if it was murder, for the sake of reputation, the hospital wouldn’t tell the outside world the truth.

“Is it true that the backyard of the hospital is haunted?”

Morgan put out the remaining half of his cigarette in the ashtray, and said earnestly: “There are some problems in the backyard of the hospital, but as long as you follow the rules I told you, nothing will happen. Chen, it’s not easy for people like you to find a job in the US, and even if you find one, it will pay less than most Americans. Of course, if you want to leave, I won’t stop you.”

It’s not that I have never had the idea of ​​leaving, but as Morgan said, it’s not easy to find a job in the United States as a stowaway, and it’s even more difficult to get a salary higher than that of ordinary Americans.

Leaving my hometown and traveling across the ocean as a humble stowaway, wasn’t it for money!

There was a Chinese saying that people die for wealth and birds die for food. I didn’t drown in the Beaufort waters when I was smuggled over, so what else should I be afraid of!

So, I have to do this job!

I said firmly: “I won’t resign, and I’m not afraid of ghosts. I just want to know the whole story.”

With a smile on his face, Morgan said, “That’s right. As long as you stick to your post, work hard, Connecticut Hospital will never be hard on you.”

Now that I had made it clear, I said goodbye to Morgan to get back to my job, and Morgan not only gave me with a pack of Camel cigarettes, but also walked me out the door.

I had just walked a few steps when Morgan suddenly stopped me again and told me, “Chen, be more alert. There was a murder in town last night. White’s parents were killed at home. I heard that the murderer is a racist. If you notice anyone suspicious, be sure to tell me.”
