The noisy commotion was heard by Kieran and the doctor inside the ward, so the two officers on duty must have heard it as well.
"Hoskin, go inside and guard that bastard!"
Outside the ward, the older policeman ran downstairs after he finished speaking.
The young officer who helped Kieran passionately walked into the ward helplessly.
"Mr. Officer, I have to leave now. I hope that … that bastard still needs my help!"
After saying that, the middle-aged doctor quickly left.
Kieran raised a brow as he watched the doctor leave.
There was something wrong with the doctor!
Kieran was very sure of it.
However, he couldn't stop the doctor from leaving. The doctor's honorable words and the appropriate identity made it natural for him to leave.
Once again, Kieran felt the importance of an identity.
In the previous dungeons, he could easily take down the doctor.
He could even use [Mesly Ring] to do so.
But now?
Kieran looked down at the handcuffs on his hands.
Under the light, the shining handcuffs reminded Kieran of the difficult situation he was in.
Of course, giving up in the face of difficulties wasn't Kieran's style.
More so, there was still the sub-mission!
When Kieran heard the doctor heave a sigh of relief, the sub-mission appeared.
[Sub-Mission Unlocked: Accident]
[Accident: You encountered an accident in the hospital. You discovered something fishy about it, but you needed concrete evidence …]
...
Although the current dungeon world didn't have sub-mission to increase dungeon rating, prolonging and increasing the time to search for the main mission was more important to Kieran.
Kieran would never let this opportunity slip away.
After the doctor left, Kieran spoke to Young Officer, "Don't worry.
"Thank you for saving me earlier, Hoskin."
"I heard another officer call you that just now … Can I call you that?"
Kieran said with a smile.
"Of course!"
The young officer nodded straightforwardly.
"Although I really want to introduce myself, please forgive me for forgetting my own name."
Kieran appropriately turned his smile into a bitter one.
"It's okay. Everything will be fine."
Hoskin tried to comfort Kieran, but it was a little difficult for the young officer. All he could do was say some formulaic words.
However, this was what Kieran wanted.
"In fact …"
"When I heard about jumping off a building, some images appeared in my mind. It might be related to my memory. I know this is a big request, but can you take me there to have a look?"
Kieran said with a pleading look on his face.
It wasn't difficult for Kieran to put on a pleading expression. He had to make sure that he had such an expression on his face most of the time in the orphanage.
For more food, time to rest, and … a chance to leave.
Therefore, everything was a piece of cake for Kieran.
The young Hoskin was a little hesitant when he saw Kieran like that.
Unlike a mature detective, Hoskin's age had determined him to have a bigger sympathy for such cases.
If it had been the old police officer, he would have scolded Kieran with a stern face, or he would have just been indifferent.
As for Hoskin?
He explained to Kieran.
"You see, my duty is to watch over you. Taking you away from here is …"
"Then, don't you want to be looked at differently by others?"
Kieran interrupted Hoskin abruptly.
"What?"
The young officer was stunned.
"If what happened just now was a murder and you solved it in the shortest time possible, what would you get?"
Kieran emphasized.
"I will …"
Instinctively, the young policeman opened his mouth, but nothing came out. His face was full of yearning.
Sympathy would affect Hoskin's judgment.
The eagerness to prove his heart would affect his judgment even more.
Kieran apologized to his native friend, Schmidt, in his heart.
If it wasn't for Schmidt talking about the embarrassing incidents that happened when he and the other young officers wanted to solve big cases when they first became officers, Kieran wouldn't have figured out where to start so quickly.
"The opportunity is fleeting, the murderer might destroy the last bit of evidence now. Do you want to waste time with me and let him get away with it? Do you think your righteous heart will allow you to do that? "
Kieran hastened his words.
Although it was a catalyzing speech, a part of it was true.
"But you …"
"Are you worried that I'll run? I'm injured, I won't run and you can handcuff me to you!
"Or are you worried that it was a suicide and not a murder?"
"Is that important to you?"
You are a police officer, spending more time and energy on an innocent victim, what's there to complain about? "
Kieran interrupted Hoskin again.
Kieran didn't even give Hoskin time to think, he urged Hoskin's professional pride and honor with his words.
It was fatal for a young officer like Hoskin.
Kak!
A clear noise later, Kieran's handcuffs on the steel pipe beside the bed were unlocked.
"I'm not moved by your words, I'm just doing this for the innocent victim!"
Hoskin then cuffed one end of the handcuffs on his own wrist.
The young policeman's words were full of emphasis.
"That's right, you are seeking justice for the victim."
Kieran nodded and eagerly headed out the door.
The young officer staggered as he was dragged by Hoskin.
He chased after Hoskin for two steps before catching up.
Hoskin was surprised by Kieran's strength but he quickly reminded Kieran who was heading up the stairs.
"The one who jumped is downstairs!
There are enough people there, we don't need to interfere! "
Kieran replied as he hastened his steps.
A single step was three flights of stairs, Kieran reached the rooftop of the seventh floor in less than 10 seconds.
If it wasn't for the burdens, Kieran would have been faster.
When the door was pushed open, Kieran saw a pair of shoes under the guardrail on the rooftop.
It was a pair of flat leather shoes that were well-maintained.
There was a suicide note under the shoes.
"Seems like it's suicide …"
Hoskin who was panting heavily picked up the will and after checking it, he said with slight disappointment.
Kieran quietly took the shoes over and after a glance at the patterns on the soles, he activated [Tracking] to check the surroundings.
St. Reid Hospital's rooftop was open to the public.
Behind the 3-meter high iron fence was a guardrail taller than a grown man's waist and a field of fragrant plants.
The many plants made the rooftop into a garden in the sky, a perfect place for people to relax and rest.
However, among the many footprints on the ground, none of them were similar to the one in Kieran's hand.
After passing the shoes to Hoskin, Kieran scanned the surroundings again.
Suddenly, he thought of something, turning around and running down the stairs.
Hoskin felt the tugging force again the moment he put his leather shoes back to its original spot.
This time, Kieran almost dragged him down the stairs.
"Wait!
What did you find? "
The young policeman shouted.
"You will know soon enough!"
