Millennium Babylon

"Bandage!"

Lin Shu raised his head abruptly, meeting Jimmy's gaze.When the four eyes meet, the past and the past are suddenly revealed...

Jimmy first noticed him in "Blue Velvet" because the band-aid he put on was exactly the same as the one Edison Chan put on before he died.That kind of Band-Aid doesn't exist in Tarr, it's from Saltwater City.

This also explains why only Raj can see that there is something wrong with Edison Chan - he has a band-aid from Saltwater City, Raj can understand the words on it, and even if old Rahimi can notice the The band-aid was not from Talben, and he would not know what was written on it.

It read—"SAWA INTERNATIONAL HOSPITAL, SALTWATER."

"Check that doctor back then!" Jimmy almost roared to give Jeremy an order.That doctor is obviously a private doctor hired by Edison Chan in Thal, why did he carry a band-aid from the American Aid International Hospital in Saltwater City, thousands of miles away?

It is well known that Edison Chan and Saltwater City fell out over the investment issue of Century Bazaar.He would not take the initiative to get involved with Saltwater City.

And... is it a normal Band-Aid or has a lethal dose of drugs like amphetamines been added to it?What else did the doctor carry that Edison Chan didn't know?

For all these years, he only focused on the most motivated and powerful suspects on the matinee, and ignored the staff at that time!

Lin Mu's hand holding the newspaper suddenly tightened a little bit, and his expression also changed: "I checked, Raj suffered a power plant explosion a week later, and the doctor from the American Aid Association in Saltwater City was responsible for the on-site rescue... "

Maybe Raj's wounds weren't fatal after all, and someone silenced him to hide the fact that he knew about the Band-Aids.

Lin Mu thought back when he waited anxiously on the helicopter, the patient was finally carried onto the plane, and then the doctor, wearing a mask and carrying a medicine box, climbed into the back row.He was wearing Tal's traditional white robe and flowered hat, and his hair and figure could not be seen at all.

Lin Mu suddenly looked at Jimmy: "Did you say...that box of uranium raw materials has never been found?"

Jimmy also understood: "Old Rakhimi thought it was taken by Drop, and Drop thought it was taken by Old Rakhimi... No wonder what they said couldn't match up!"

"What if they didn't take it?!"

"Yes...is that doctor?"

Lin Mu stared at Chen Yan: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​using the medicine kit to exchange the uranium raw materials in old Rahimi's hands?"

Chen Yan also panicked: "Don't...don't look at me! This matter has nothing to do with me! I hadn't been to America Aid when his father had an accident... the medicine box...isn't it easy to change the medicine box! It's a shockproof safe, the same model, with built-in refrigeration, isn't it easy to think of..."

Lin Mu asked coldly: "Only a doctor would think of it easily, right? That kind of safe, only field doctors would carry it with them?"

Lin Mu listened attentively to the sound of footsteps coming from the empty corridor.

The visitor came closer and closer, knocked on the door politely, and entered the house, not surprised that his patient Linmu had so many visitors.

It's Dr. Pete, a doctor from the American Aid Association.

Dr. Pete smiled at everyone, greeted them one by one, lowered the tone of the TV morning news a bit, "watch less news, rest more", then picked up the ward round book and walked to Lin Mu.

Washington Post reporter Alex happened to catch up.

"Dr. Pete, I know you are very busy with work, but this is the last ward to check this morning, isn't it? Are you going to have lunch after the check? Can you allow me to ask you a few questions during lunch? "

Seeing Jimmy in the room, Alex was stunned for a moment, and winked at him: Did you agree to my interview?You see I'm still on my own, you bastard.

Bastard, he repeated emphatically with his lips.

"Jimmy," Lin Mu called him so solemnly for the first time after waking up, "Didn't Jeremy have a document for me to sign? Something, bring it in."

Jimmy's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at the trees, and called Jeremy in, who had been guarding the corridor.Jeremy was still dressed like he was in the desert, ready to go to sea for Jimmy at any time, but the dagger hanging on his waist was replaced by an American gun - Saltwater City allowed foreigners to hold guns.

"What? So formal." Dr. Pete smiled as he looked at the school badge of Jimmy's undergraduate course and a delicate and beautiful cross knot hanging on the folder.

He has finished recording his heart rate and blood pressure, adjusted Lin Mu's pillow to a suitable height, and reminded him to pay attention to intracranial pressure and not to use his eyes for a long time.

"Even if the documents are important, they are not as important as your body."

Lin Mu didn't speak, but suddenly looked at him and stretched out his right hand.

Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Lin Mu turned his palm outwards and raised his arms slowly until his palm just blocked half of Dr. Pete's cheek, only a pair of eyes were exposed.

Those eyes were a little gray in the sun, and there were wrinkles accumulated over the years. They were only bright when he was concentrating on treating patients.

Lin Mu looked at the doctor who had saved Chen Yan, himself, and hundreds of Tals, if not thousands, and asked softly:

"Dr. Pete, I heard from Chen Yan that you have worked for the American Aid Association in the three southern countries for more than 30 years and only took one vacation."

Dr. Pete raised his head slightly, and grasped the pen in his hand tightly.

"That year... it happened to be Independence Day, right?

The pen fell to the ground and made a light sound.

Chen Yan looked at his boss for many years in disbelief. Jimmy pulled out the gun from Jeremy's belt and loaded it.

Lin Mu asked: "Edison Chan, a British arms dealer, was murdered on Independence Day, and his suitcase of uranium raw materials was stolen, and his whereabouts are still unknown—" He took a few breaths, and finally finished speaking loudly: "Dr. Pete, you know The whereabouts of the box of uranium raw materials?"

Jimmy was still shaking with the gun in both hands, and it took all his strength not to pull the trigger.He wants to hear the truth.

How could it be him?How could it be him?Why? !

Jeremy had already pressed the emergency call on the strap on his left arm, and his squad also rushed into the ward, each guarding a corner under his wink to prevent the suspect from escaping or committing murder.

But Dr. Pete just took two steps back and shook his head.

"You talk! Is it you?! Don't think we can't find evidence in the past few years! I will find evidence if I search Saltwater City! And—" Jimmy cursed under his breath, "and you family, don’t think they’re safe in America! If you don’t tell the truth—”

Dr. Pete chuckled and shook his head again.He leaned over to pick up the pen, and put it on the cabinet next to the hospital bed together with the ward round book.

Then he took off his white coat, revealing his worn sweater and trousers.

"YanChan," he called Chen Yan. Chen Yan ignored him and looked at him angrily, "When you first came, I thought you belonged to him... Both of your surnames are Chan. Yan, you testify, I No family members, the entire estate is donated to the USAA field hospital in Thar."

This is tantamount to admitting it!

Jimmy was hugged tightly by Jeremy and felt him stick something into his upper arm.As his hand with the gun faded away, Jeremy removed the gun from his hand.

Jimmy fell to his knees and was helped to a chair by Jeremy. He still gritted his teeth and stared at Dr. Pete, but he couldn't even throw a punch.He just kept cursing, calling him a murderer, calling him evil.

"He's my dad! You killed him! I hate you! I hate you!"

After Dr. Pete explained to Chen Yan, he slowly turned to Jimmy.He first looked at the needle tube on the ground to make sure he was okay.Then he said: "You are Edison Chan's son."

He moved his lips as if to say sorry, but in the end all he could say was a sigh.He turned to the camera where Alex had already started recording, and said with a blank expression: "My name is Thomas Pete. I am from New Jersey. The US military invaded the three southern countries—there were only two countries at the time, although the United States still does not recognize that as an invasion— I was a soldier and a doctor at the time. I was in the field hospital in Thar and I was in charge of deciding whether soldiers with injured limbs needed amputations. Soldiers who had amputated limbs would be sent back to the US and would be disabled for the rest of their lives. No amputation of soldiers, after recovery, go back to the field, kill, or be killed."

In the middle of the muzzles of four pistols, Dr. Pete said calmly: "I am only a doctor, but I want to decide the life and death of people except my patients. I am curing these soldiers, creating more killing weapons, causing more Or do I not cure them and watch these young American boys amputate and even die in front of me? I thought that as long as I escaped the military environment, I would not have to pay for the mistakes of those stupid politicians. But when I chose to leave the army and come to America Aid, I found that the lives of my patients are still not controlled by them. An arms dealer like Edison Chan, or a mercenary leader like Dropp, any stupid decision , and thousands of people will die.”

Dr. Pete looked at Jimmy again: "I don't want to see people die. I don't like to see people die. I calculated an account, if Edison Chan is alive, more people will die. One, less than ten, less than one hundred, less than One thousand, it's that simple."

"Who do you think you are! Why do you decide his life and death like this! You deserve it too! You are a murderer!"

"I want to apologize to you too, Jimmy. I think I should apologize to you, like, I'm sorry he was your father. I'm sorry for your loss. But, Jimmy, I don't regret it. If he lives, Ta Well, or Saltwater might be gone. How many families would be broken? I can't take a chance. I'm sorry, Jimmy, about your loss. But I have to say, I don't regret it."

No one saw when Jimmy mustered up the strength to recapture the gun with his unsedated left hand, emptying a magazine cleanly. The wall of the VIP ward was pierced, revealing a scarred black and white landscape painting in the corridor outside.

The pure and immaculate snow-capped mountains of the Golan Valley sink into the corner of the painting.In a village under the snow-capped mountains, smoke billows from the kitchen, women do laundry, and children chase each other—a plain sight.

I don't know how many people have dedicated their lives for this.

Jimmy raised his chin at Jeremy: "Tell the director general that I have new clues to explain. Take him... over there."

He turned to Alex: "The interview you want, let's settle it."

Then he turned to Chen Yan: "Here, how much will you pay for your hospital?" Nu Nuzui pointed to Jeremy, "I'll ask him for support."

In the end, Jimmy pointed to Lin Mu who had just watched his attending physician being taken away by armed forces: "I just want him to be discharged from the hospital. When will he be discharged from the hospital?"

No one answered him.

There was a sound of high-heeled shoes in the corridor, which was unexpectedly interrupted.Then the high-heeled shoe quarreled with the person who stopped her: "Is this a VIP ward? Is Lin Shu in it? Don't let anyone stop me! I want to slap my face! The surname is Lin! If it's a man, give it to me." Come out! What kind of skill is hiding in the hospital!"

Ji Yuanyuan yelled louder and louder, with tears in her words, every word was crying blood: "We have been together for more than three years! How can I be sorry for you? If you want to just leave me like that? Why don't I deserve to be with you if I did something wrong?" You left together? You are selfish! You always abandon me! Have you ever thought about what I will do with the rest of my life when you leave me there? How will I live?!"

Jimmy had to signal to Jeremy's men, and the man went out.

When Ji Yuanyuan stepped on her high heels and walked to the door of the VIP hospital bed, through the punctured wall, she first saw Jimmy who was still holding a pistol.

And Lin Mu sat on the bed, covering his face with his hands.

"What... what's wrong?" Ji Yuanyuan was surprised, "Did you quarrel?"
