"There are still three and a half hours before it gets dark. Before it gets dark, we must investigate where Dr. Fang has been before he disappeared!"
Chen Ge's attitude was firm. He was with Lao Wu. If he didn't know, he thought he was a policeman and Lao Wu was just a driver.
"Do you have to investigate before dark? Do you have anything else to do at night?" Old Wu asked inexplicably while driving.
"The city is not safe at night."
"Xinhai is the city with the best security in central and southern China. Some business districts here are basically open 20 hours a day, so they are called the city that never sleeps." Old Wu held the steering wheel: "You young people should know this better than me."
Chen Ge smiled without explaining.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Xinhai Second Hospital.
There are eleven tertiary hospitals in Xinhai. Among them, the No. 2 hospital where Dr. Fang is located ranks very high and is located in the most prosperous area of Xinhai.
"Hello, I want to inquire about someone." Chen Ge and Lao Wu, who was wearing a police uniform, asked the front desk of the hospital. The nurse on duty didn't want to pay attention to Chen Ge, but after seeing the uniform on Lao Wu, his attitude was much better.
Accompanied by the nurse on duty, Chen Ge came to the ENT department, where a doctor was examining the patient's body.
"Doctor Fang has not come to work for many days. I don't know the specific situation. The doctor inside is surnamed Zhao. He is a colleague and friend of Dr. Fang. He should know some information." The nurse on duty left after saying that, Chen Ge He and Lao Wu waited for Dr. Zhao to check the patient before entering the house.
"Which one of you is a patient?" Dr. Zhao is very busy. He hasn't had a good rest recently. He has dark circles under his eyes, and he looks a little lethargic.
"We're not here to see a doctor." Chen Ge pointed to Old Wu beside him: "This is a front-line detective from the Criminal Investigation Team of the City Branch."
He didn't say his identity, nor did he say that Lao Wu was a policeman from the Hanjiang City Branch. The whole sentence was true, but it gave the impression that they were both from the Xinhai Criminal Investigation Team.
"Interpol?" Dr. Zhao realized the seriousness of the matter: "Did you come because of Dr. Fang?"
"It seems that you do know something." Chen Ge sat on the chair, and the real policeman, Old Wu, was guarding the door.
"The specific situation was told to the people at the police station yesterday. I didn't expect your criminal police to come here today. Could it be that Dr. Fang has really..." Dr. Zhao didn't say anything further, but the meaning of what he wanted to convey was clear to everyone present.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you just need to tell me the information you know." Chen Ge picked up the pen and paper on the table and prepared to record it. He felt very professional.
"In recent weeks, Dr. Fang's condition has been very poor, and there has been a problem with the operation. There are more patients complaining about him, which was almost impossible in the past. Lao Fang is our best ENT head and neck department. doctor."
"Is Dr. Fang's trance related to his family?"
"Yesterday I also met Lao Fang's family. His wife and daughter are very normal, and I am very worried about him, by the way!" Dr. Zhao seemed to suddenly remember something: "I heard Lao Fang's wife say that Lao Fang often has a People talk to themselves, saying that they have come, they are happy, they have come."
"They're here? Someone is spying on Doctor Fang?" Old Wu closed the door of the department and walked over. He didn't expect to encounter such a strange case as soon as he arrived at Xinhai with Chen Ge.
"A few days before his disappearance, Lao Fang often stayed up all night, hid at the window with a knife, and looked out of the window from time to time, as if someone was standing downstairs in their house. His wife and daughter were very scared. Occasionally I will look out the window, but there is no one outside." Dr. Zhao sighed: "Lao Fang's wife was going to hire a psychiatrist for him, but before the doctor arrived, Lao Fang has disappeared."
"Doctor Fang's wife and daughter didn't see anyone outside the window, did they?" Chen Ge wanted to make sure.
"Lao Fang's wife didn't see anything, but his young daughter told the police station yesterday that there was a woman hiding in her house who was laughing all the time."
"A woman who has been laughing?" Chen Ge narrowed his eyes, and two words appeared in his heart - no laughing.
"The people from the police station went to Lao Fang's house and didn't find the woman. They thought that Lao Fang's daughter was under too much pressure and had hallucinations."
"The generation of hallucinations is also related to certain memories, and they should think about it carefully." Chen Ge did not comment on the police station's practices, he wanted to find the doctor Fang as soon as possible: "Doctor Zhao, you know the last person to see Doctor Fang. Who is it?"
"For the time being, it should be me." Dr. Zhao looked haggard: "Lao Fang asked for a half-month leave, but he suddenly came to work a few days ago before he finished his leave. I can see his condition. It's okay, I thought he had recovered, so I didn't think much about it, and made an appointment with him to have a few drinks after work."
"Dr Fang disappeared in the hospital?"
"For the time being, it looks like this. After get off work, Lao Fang didn't go back and locked himself in the room. I don't know what he was doing. When I came to work the next day, I received the news of Lao Fang's disappearance. Dr. Zhao regretted it a little: "If only I could pay more attention that day."
"You don't have to blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you." Chen Ge frowned and pondered, he recalled the scene when he called Dr. Fang for the first time.
Dr. Fang also mentioned that he was being monitored by Buxiao. He also said that the hospital warehouse was rectified before. He found a letter in the old warehouse. After opening it, it was written that he should go to an abandoned hospital in the middle of the night. Something very bad happened (see Chapter 1007 for details).
"Dr. Zhao, has the warehouse of your hospital been rectified some time ago? Dr. Fang entered the old warehouse at that time, right?"
"How did you know?" Dr. Zhao was very surprised, but in his opinion, the warehouse rectification was completely different from the disappearance of Dr. Fang, and could not be linked at all.
"Recall carefully, did Dr. Fang's abnormality start when he entered the old warehouse." Chen Ge put down the pen in his hand and stuffed some notes into his pocket.
"It seems... It's true." Dr. Zhao's expression was even more surprised. The feeling Chen Ge gave him was completely different from the feeling that the police at the police station asked yesterday: "It's criminal investigation, it's amazing."
"If it's convenient, can you take us to the old warehouse now?"
"Okay, anyway, it's about to be abandoned there." Dr. Zhao and Dr. Fang have a strong relationship, and he is very happy to help.
After saying hello to another doctor, Dr. Zhao took Chen Ge and Lao Wu out of the hospital.
"The old warehouse is not in the hospital?" Chen Ge was a little puzzled.
"Our hospital moved a few years ago, and the old warehouse is still in its original place. It seems that there are only one or two independent departments left there."
Twenty minutes later, the three came to the original site of the hospital, and after getting the keys from the management office, they entered the old warehouse.
The place has just been cleaned up, the shelves are empty, and there is almost nothing in the warehouse.
"Which area was Dr. Fang in charge of when the warehouse was renovated?"
"It seems to be the innermost rooms." Dr. Zhao took out the key and opened the iron door leading to the depths of the warehouse: "Because of the aging circuit, there are no lights inside, and the light is very dim, and the nurses who are with him dare not go in. It seems that that day The old man went in alone."
"These warehouses are still separated by iron doors. Who designed it?"
"do not know."
The three entered the warehouse and found some things that didn't look like they would be used in a hospital, such as a worn-out white wedding dress, a pair of dusty shoes, and so on.
In the dimly lit room, just the broken old shoes had a particularly terrifying feeling.
"I don't know how these things appeared in the warehouse. The uncle who first guarded the warehouse has been dead for a long time. This place is locked all the year round. If the new director wants to rectify the warehouse, I am afraid no one knows what is in the hospital warehouse. So many shoes." Dr. Zhao held a flashlight and a key, and he was also a little frightened.
"There are various types of shoes, and the sizes are all different. Do you think it may be that a caregiver likes to collect shoes from dead people? He stole all the shoes of the sick and died and stored them in the back of the warehouse?" Chen Ge said to himself, he didn't pay attention to the increasingly bad faces of Old Wu and Dr. Zhao.
"Your idea is a bit perverted, to put it mildly." Dr. Zhao pointed to the surrounding shelves: "So many shoes on the shelves are all worn by dead people? I find that your way of doing criminal investigation is different from that of ordinary people."
Old Wu touched his nose beside him. He wanted to speak, but after hearing what Dr. Zhao said, he suddenly didn't know how to speak.
Chen Ge, who was walking in the front, did not reply, he suddenly stopped after passing through two rows of shelves: "The shoes on the first rows of shelves are all neatly arranged, why are only the shoes on this row of shelves falling off? Down? Someone fell down here!"
The pupils narrowed, and Chen Gebi was facing the position where the shoes fell, roughly simulating the situation at that time.
"There was a man about the same height as me who saw something at this position under my feet. He was frightened, his body hit the shelf, and his shoes were scattered to both sides." Chen Ge has a very keen insight, he only relies on A lot of things can be inferred from the location of the scattered shoes: "The thing that scared the victim should have suddenly appeared from behind him. During the process of turning around, he lost his balance and hit the shelf."
Chen Ge locked a direction and walked towards it. Yin pupil glanced at the shelves on both sides, and he soon found out.
"what is this?"
There was a small paper ball hidden in a very inconspicuous position at the bottom of the shelf. Chen Ge unfolded it, and there was only one line on it - don't enter the last warehouse!
"Dr. Zhao, do you see this from Dr. Fang?" Chen Ge handed the note to Dr. Zhao, who shook his head after reading it.
"It's not Dr. Fang's words, but it appeared in the place where Dr. Fang's accident happened. That is to say, someone kindly reminded Dr. Fang before he came in, but unfortunately he didn't care." Chen Ge took the note back, which was He wanted to keep a very important clue to himself: "Dr. Zhao, can you remember the person who entered the warehouse with Dr. Fang that day?"
"Can."
"Does any of them have the same font as the words on the note?"
"It doesn't seem to be. The doctor's words are rather scribbled, and I'm used to writing orders." Dr. Zhao confirmed repeatedly, and finally said that the note was not written by Dr. Fang's companions.
"Isn't it from the hospital?" Chen Ge frowned, and after a while he suddenly asked: "If you want to enter the warehouse, you must first get the key from the management office. Could this note be someone from the management office? Personally given to Doctor Fang?"
No more clues were found in the old warehouse, Chen Ge hurried back to the management office with the note.
After comparing the handwriting, Chen Ge found that the words on the note were very similar to those of a warehouse manager. The manager's surname was Chi, a rare surname.
"Excuse me, is Chiren here?" Chen Ge put away the note, looked at the photos of the staff on the wall, and asked loudly.
"Brother Ren asked for leave a few days ago, do you have anything to do with him?" The people in the management office also thought that Chen Ge and Lao Wu were from the Xinhai Criminal Investigation Team, so they had a very good attitude.
Hearing that Chiren hadn't come to work for several days, Chen Ge immediately had a bad feeling in his heart: "Can you tell me where Chiren lives? We want to go over and ask him some questions in person."
The people in the management office hesitated for a while, and then told Chen Ge the address of Chiren's rented apartment.
"Brother Ren is relatively withdrawn and basically won't talk to strangers, so be prepared to eat behind closed doors." The person in the management office mentioned Chi Ren with a wry smile.
"Does he usually have any strange habits? Or does he do some strange things?"
"It's nothing strange... By the way, Brother Ren lives alone, he doesn't have any family, but occasionally he will mutter to himself, chanting some particularly scary words, such as eating hands, eating eyes, eating nose, etc. .” The management office felt uncomfortable just mentioning these words: “I once asked him why he always said these things, and he told me that the horrible words were all his family’s names.”
"His family is strange enough." Chen Ge still didn't say a word. He felt that there might be some connection between the family with the surname Chi and Buxiao.
After getting useful clues, Chen Ge asked Dr. Zhao to go back first, and he and Lao Wu came to the apartment building rented by Chiren.
They knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened. Finally, the landlord ran out and told them that Chiren had not come back for several days.
The landlord also revealed a very important piece of information to Chen Ge. When Chiren left the apartment building for the last time, he was carrying a large bag containing water and various foods. He seemed to have anticipated the danger and was going somewhere. Evacuation is the same.
"If my guess is correct, Chi Ren wrote a note to Doctor Fang, wanting to save Doctor Fang, but he didn't succeed. He was worried about getting revenge, so he ran away overnight."
In Chen Ge's view, although this Chiren has a strange name, he should be generally a good person.
"If you want to find Dr. Fang, you still have to start with eating benevolence."
