"Weak pulse and breath sounds!"

"Two large bore IV syringes... quick!"

"Hang a liter of Lactated Ringer's solution [Note 1], full speed!"

"Pulse is still weak and blood pressure is 80/40!"

"Tell me his blood type and cross-match type, he needs a blood transfusion, prepare two units of red blood cells for backup! 【Note 2】"

Casey frowned tightly, looked at Shen Lie who was lying unconscious on the stress stretcher and still bleeding from his chest, and shouted loudly to Dino: "I'll follow the ambulance, you stay at the scene!" After finishing speaking Turning to the emergency personnel, he hurriedly said: "The person who was shot was the prosecutor of the Manhattan Prosecutor's Office of New York City. I am a police officer of the Manhattan Homicide Squad. I want to follow the car!"

The emergency personnel didn't even look up: "Get in the car, we'll go to St. Mary's Hospital right away!"

Before the words fell, Casey jumped into the car.

Dino looked cold. He looked around and focused on the roof of a building opposite the courthouse. While running, he took out his mobile phone and dialed 911: "I am the deputy chief of the Manhattan Homicide Squad in New York City. Inspector Dino Esposito, police number NYNH3537, a shooting occurred in front of the New York courthouse, Homicide Squad Prosecutor Lie Shen was shot, requesting support, requesting support."

The operator's voice came from the phone: "Got it, after 5 minutes from the nearest police force—"

Before the operator could finish speaking, Dino, who had already run into the building, threw his mobile phone into his pocket, flashed his police officer's card at the front desk, and went straight to the elevator. After about 2 minutes, the elevator reached the top floor. He got out of the elevator and looked around. After a while, he ran to a door connecting the roof.

Dino turned the doorknob twice, and the door was locked. He took two steps back, took out the gun with his right hand back to his right waist, kicked the door open, raised the gun with both hands and began to scan the roof.

The roof was already empty.

Dino noticed sharply that there was a sniper rifle on the railing on the roof. He held up the pistol to confirm that there was no one on the roof, then put away the pistol and walked to the side of the sniper rifle. Looking down, it happened to be The place where Shen Lie was shot.

Dino suddenly saw that there seemed to be a piece of paper hanging on the body of the sniper rifle. He took out a piece of facial tissue from his pocket, put it on his hand and picked up the card that was a bit like the card hanging on the bouquet in a flower shop. It only said Four blood-red words: "Remember me? [Note 3]"

Ning Yuan felt that he might really be dying.

Unexamined, unable to think, his body was cold and hot.When it's cold, it's cold to the bone, and when it's hot, it's like being burned by a flame.

It was as if I had become a small boat in the waves of a hurricane, and would be smashed to pieces in the next instant.

Suddenly he could feel his own body, but it seemed that the bones of his body were smashed and reassembled one by one. He just wanted to shout out in pain, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't even make a single sound.

It seems that it is not as good as the soul body!At least the year of being by Shen Lie's soul body didn't hurt!

Shen Lie?

Ning Yuan's heart shrank suddenly.

When he realized that the moving red dot was the aiming infrared ray of the sniper rifle, his brain went blank, but his body involuntarily pushed Shen Lie, and then he felt the burning pain of the bullet passing through his body , and then he lost consciousness, and after that... is now.

How is Shen Lie?

He must have been shot, Ning Yuan remembered the blood in front of him, where was the shot?is it serious?Have you been sent to the hospital?

Casey and Dino are beside them, they will definitely send Shen Lie to the hospital, he will be fine.

Ning Yuan told himself this over and over again, only to feel that his body was in unbearable pain, and at the same time his heart was also pulled.

You must be in pain.

I want to see you.

The moment Shen Lie regained consciousness, he couldn't open his eyes.

He heard the sound of beeping, as if it came from some kind of machine.Shen Lie took a few breaths, feeling the pain as the breath passed through his chest, as if being scratched by a knife, he endured the pain, and finally opened his eyes.

All he could see was a vast expanse of whiteness. He stared at the ceiling, and it took him a while to realize that it was a hospital.

How could he be in the hospital?

The pain in his breath reminded him that he had been shot.

Shen Lie frowned, the moment he was shot, he lost consciousness, the only thing he still remembered was Ning Yuan's scream and the figure that bumped into him.

Ning Yuan?

At this time, shouldn't he be floating beside him and looking at him nervously?

What about people?

Shen Lie tried to sit up on the bed, but was held down by a hand: "Don't move!"

Shen Lie looked at him upon hearing the sound, it was Casey.

Casey no longer had her usual hippie smile, but her face was gloomy: "How do you feel?"

Shen Lie's voice was hoarse and obscure: "Not dead yet."

Casey: "..."

You really hit the nail on the head.

Shen Lie looked around but still didn't see Ning Yuan, his heart sank, and he blurted out: "Where's Ning Yuan?"

Casey looked blank: "What? You speak English, I don't understand you speak Chinese!"

Shen Lie ignored him, frowning and looked around the ward carefully.

still none.

Casey's phone rang, he walked out of the ward to answer the phone, Shen Lie cleared his throat, and said: "Ning Yuan? Casey is out, don't hide, come out."

Still the original ward, nothing changed.

Shen Lie's hands on both sides of his body trembled slightly, and he said softly: "If you don't come out, don't even think about sleeping with me again."

At this time, Shen Lie suddenly understood how fragile the bond between him and Ning Yuan was.

Ning Yuan just disappeared, and he didn't know where to find it.

Casey hung up the phone and walked in from the door, saying, "It's Dino, he found some clues."

Shen Lie took a deep breath, and used the pain in his chest to bring his thoughts back to the business: "What's wrong?"

Casey sat down beside his bed: "On the roof of the building opposite the courthouse, a sniper rifle was found with the serial number worn out, and a piece of paper that said remember me."

Shen Lie narrowed his eyes slightly: "Rick Lisman."

Casey frowned: "Are you sure it's him?"

"I'm not sure," Shen Lie was very straightforward, "I have been a prosecutor for five years, and I have offended eight hundred people if not one thousand. I don't know who they are."

Casey: "... Brother, can you take your own life seriously!"

Shen Lie coughed twice, and said, "But Rick Lisman is the only one who has such a big enemy and recently escaped from prison."

Casey nodded, tucked the quilt for Shen Lie, and said softly: "Understood, you go to sleep first, I will guard you here."

Shen Lie hummed, remembered something and asked again: "What did James call me before? Do you know where Peggy's fetus and breast are?"

Casey's expression was unpredictable: "Are you sure you want to listen now?"

Shen Lie's voice was weak: "Don't talk nonsense."

"..." Casey didn't know what to do, and said, "James' identification team found Peggy's... DNA in a pot in the kitchen of which villa."

Shen Lie slightly closed his eyes: "Sure enough..."

Casey asked: "Joanna can really talk?!"

Shen Lie said coldly: "Do you still remember when Leila testified that the first time she met Joanna was because she made porridge for everyone?"

Casey felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

Shen Lie closed his eyes, this is what Joanna meant by asking Peggy to accompany everyone one last time.

I wanted to tell you later in the evening, but if you don't come back, I won't tell you.
