Liu Tao's address is in the old city. The three of them searched for a mobile phone navigation for a long time before they came to the front of a single-family two-story building. Chen Shi came forward and knocked on the door. No one answered the door, and walked a few steps upstairs. Look and say: "Is there anyone here?"
Lin Dongxue put her ear on the door to listen, her eyes suddenly enlarged, and she beckoned and said, "Listen now, what's going on inside."
When Chen Shi heard it, there was a faint groan from a man in the room, which seemed to be painful.
"Could it be that someone had an accident at home?" Lin Dongxue guessed that she had heard of a middle-aged man who fell at home after being drunk and died suddenly in the afternoon.
Chen Shi considered it for a while and said, "I'll open the lock."
"Is this not so good?" Gu You said.
"It's better to be reckless than to sit on the sidelines." After that, Chen Shi took out his tools and pried the lock open in twos or twos.
Accompanied by a creak, the old wooden door opened. The light inside the house was dim, and there was a musty smell characteristic of old houses. When their eyes adjusted to this dimness, the three were surprised to find that the walls were covered with various strange symbols. , I feel weird.
Gu You paled and said, "These symbols are the same as those painted by Chen Fengde in the detention center."
"No!" Lin Dongxue was shocked, "Is this red blood?"
"Find someone first!" Chen Shi reminded.
The sound came from a bedroom. When the three of them walked in, they saw a big iron cage with a scrawny man squatting inside. His eyes were big. When he looked at the visitor, his eyes looked like being rescued by a dog lover. Down the dog sent to the slaughterhouse.
This is a kidnapping case! Chen Shi thought for the first time that he stepped forward to open the cage, but found that the cage was not locked at all, but he didn't know how to open it.
"Sir, who kept you here, I'm the police!" Lin Dongxue showed his credentials.
The man raised his head and looked at Lin Dongxue. The thin neck made people worry that his head would fall off, and then he pointed to his mouth.
"He's hungry..." Chen Shi guessed, "I'll get some food."
With that said, Chen Shi went out to buy scallion pancakes and mineral water. The savory scallion pancakes were handed to the man's hands. He immediately hugged them and ate only one bite. Suddenly, his expression changed and he vomited the food in his mouth, scallion pancakes. Also thrown out of the cage.
"Don't like this?" Chen Shi was confused.
"He's on a hunger strike." A girl's voice came from behind.
The three of them looked back and saw a little girl holding a doll with very clear eyes. She said: "He locked himself up. The cage can be opened from the inside. You don't need to be nosy."
"Little girl, is this your father?"
"He's Liu Tao... Yes, it's really my father in terms of relationship." The little girl's tone is very sophisticated, she clearly looks less than ten years old.
"How long has he been like this?"
"It's been ten days."
"This will be deadly! No, call an ambulance!"
The little girl frowned, said "nosy" and left, when the sound of going up the stairs came from outside.
Chen Shi couldn't see his death without help. He immediately hit 120. The medical staff rushed to him, but the man refused to leave the cage. He covered his ears and shook his head, like a child playing rascals.
The doctor said amused and angrily: "This should be handled by the mental hospital."
"I'm really sorry, can you just give him an infusion?" Chen Shi asked.
"Looks like this is indeed malnourished, try it!"
The doctor immediately took the infusion stand and glucose and put them on the edge of the cage. After Lin Dongxue coaxed for a long time, the man obediently stretched out his hand to let the doctor intubate the tube.
The lanes are narrow, the ambulance cannot be stopped for a long time, and the doctor is unwilling to spend the whole day on this lunatic. Chen said: "I will change this bottle, so I won't bother you."
"That's all right, please settle the first aid fee."
After the ambulance left, the man in the cage stretched out his hand to grab the insertion tube. Lin Dongxue persuaded: "Don't pick it, don't pick it. If you drop it, you will have to get a needle. It hurts."
The man raised his face, showing a foolish expression.
"This place is weird." Lin Dongxue hugged her shoulders and whispered, "How can you live like this?"
"Would you like to go upstairs and'visit'?" Chen Shi suggested.
"Okay, come here uninvited like this."
"People don't seem to drive us away."
"Don't go up!" Gu You said, "We are here to find Liu Tao, isn't Liu Tao right here?"
"People are here, I don't know where the soul has gone." Chen Shi joked.
Lin Dongxue tried to call his name. The wandering Liu Tao looked up, then lowered his head and scratched his feet. The cage was very narrow. He squatted in it all the time. He didn't know how his body could stand it for ten days. of.
The infusion really worked. Gradually, Liu Tao's pale complexion began to become ruddy, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "You... why are... at my house!"
"I'm a policeman, I want to find you..."
"Help me... It's been a long time... a long time... a long time... I haven't dreamed." He said in a slow, dreamy tone.
Lin Dongxue and Chen Shi exchanged glances in surprise, and Gu You said, "Let me ask."
"good."
"Liu Tao, do you remember Chen Fengde?" Gu You asked.
Liu Tao stared at her inadvertently exposed breast ditch in a daze, and said, "I don't remember."
"Have you been to Mengyuan?"
When he heard this word, Liu Tao was struck by lightning and acted extremely horrified. He said, "Master Fantasy rejected me! I did bad things to him, and He punished me so that I could never go to Mengyuan again, never again. Can't dream anymore!"
Gu You widened her eyes and stepped outside. She gasped for a long time. Lin Dongxue stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you, Miss Gu?"
"It's true! It's true!" Gu You said in horror, "Look at what he said, and then look at these symbols on the wall. It's true that dreams exchange bodies!"
"No, I don't think so." Chen Shi said, "This can only show that he and Chen Fengde do have a certain connection, but it must be a real connection."
"Hearing these words, are you still not willing to believe it?" Gu You asked.
"I didn't believe it from the beginning. As long as I heard what was said from the population, I would always listen with skepticism. It is impossible for a few words to convince me of one thing. It is not uncommon for two people to lie at the same time. I even met A group of people have lied together, unless... Unless I dream of going to that dream tonight, and wake up the next day and become a beautiful Russian white-legged beauty, I will believe it."
"Your attitude is to shed tears if you don't see the coffin?" Gu You smiled to ease the offense of questioning.
"This is called seeking truth from facts." Chen Shi also smiled.
"What do you think they have to do with each other?"
"I don't know, but I have a guess. Chen Fengde was threatened by someone. This person might be him..." Chen Shi pointed to the person in the cage. , Why did he do this, just to prove that the exchange of bodies is real? No, this is a hidden threat,'Your daughter is in my hands, you must do what I say', this is not the most common threat Drama?"
Gu You suddenly widened his eyes, then lowered his head, seeming to be caught in a memory...
