OK, I've only watched this once, in real time (had to come to work), but
as I recall, the sequence went like this:

Leland comes into the station and says to Harry, "Is it true? Have you
caught the murderer?" Harry told Leland *zip*. Basically said, "I can't
tell you anything right now."

Then Leland sees Doc Hayward, who tells him he should be home with Sarah,
and that he was going home himself. Leland then gets and odd look on his
face and mutters, "The hospital!" obviously deducing from the fact that
Doc was up and around in the middle of the night and at the police
station, that the suspect was wounded.

} So, on this information alone, how did Leland know who the suspect was
} and which room he was in?

A good question.
