Hearing Chen Ge's question, the three people in the iron cage behaved differently.
The old man with oil stains on his face licked his fingers without saying a word, as if he was thinking about what he had just eaten.
The woman's eyes widened and she struggled desperately in the iron cage, like a big fish thrown ashore.
The middle-aged man's performance was the most abnormal. Among the three, he was the only one who kept staring at Chen Ge without taking his eyes off of him.
"Why are these three people imprisoned in a mental hospital?" Chen Ge first walked to the old man's iron cage. In the iron cage made of welded steel bars, there were two plastic bowls.
The old man was not afraid when he noticed that someone was coming. He sat in the middle of the cage, sucking the oil stains on his fingers as if no one was around.
"He was the one who was transferred from the first ward." Chen Ge watched for a long time and didn't find anything wrong with the old man: "The hair is uneven, and it was shaved with a knife. This hair should be new growth. ."
Seeing the old man's hair, Chen Ge thought of the hair on the back of the nurse's station cabinet, some of which were black and white, and should belong to the old man in front of him.
"The hair has been shaved once, and it can grow so much. It seems that the old man has been imprisoned here for a long time." At that time, Chen Ge thought that four different people had had their hair shaved by comparing the length of their hair. There are only three people.
"One more was not found."
Chen Ge glanced at the woman, and finally stopped at the middle-aged man. His hair was long and covered in a mess: "This man's hair doesn't seem to be shaved?"
Chen Ge is more careful, shaving his head seems to be the murderer's bad taste, he is playing with his prey, but why would the murderer let the middle-aged man alone
Middle-aged man knows the murderer? Or is he the murderer
Chen Ge was taken aback by his own thoughts. At the connection between the first and second wards, Chen Ge saw an unfamiliar face. It was an asymmetrical and somewhat deformed face.
Able to walk freely in the ward, and monitor and follow himself, the deformed face should be the murderer behind the scenes, but now there is a middle-aged man. From this perspective, there may be more than one murderer who imprisoned the victim.
Chen Ge clenched the tool hammer, and he even thought of a worse situation in his mind.
If this sick building, except for himself, all are murderers.
Of course, this is unlikely.
He thought for a moment and finally stopped in front of the woman.
Neither man had any intention of answering his question, so he had to try to remove the pillowcase from the woman's mouth to see if he could learn anything from her.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here to save you." Chen Ge shook the lock on the iron cage. There was no key. If you just hit it with a hammer, God knows how long it will take to release the three of them.
The woman seemed to have a natural fear of living people. As soon as Chen Ge approached her, she began to fall ill, whimpering in her mouth, shaking her head and waving her hands, and became emotional.
"Calm down, I won't do anything to you." Chen Ge walked around the woman and was about to take off the pillowcase from her mouth when the middle-aged man who had been silent behind him suddenly spoke up.
"I advise you not to let her talk, she's very noisy."
Turning his head, Chen Ge saw a pair of gloomy, guarded eyes. This middle-aged man didn't know whether he was doing this to everyone or just Chen Ge. He showed a kind of disgust from the bottom of his heart, as if Chen Ge was doing this. things that made him extremely sick.
"She's noisy?" Chen Ge was not afraid of them talking, but afraid that they would refuse to communicate.
As long as these people speak, he has the opportunity to obtain useful information from their words.
"Yes, it's very noisy." The middle-aged man spoke rigidly, and he seemed to feel disgusted even talking to people.
"Can you tell me why? Was she mentally stimulated?"
Chen Ge asked two questions in a row, and the middle-aged man kept his mouth shut. When Chen Ge put his hand into the iron cage again and was about to take the pillowcase from the woman's mouth, the middle-aged man spit out three words: "I don't know. ."
"What do you know? You don't know this woman, do you know the old man in the first cage?" Chen Ge asked a question he had always been curious about: "Why is there only two plastics in his cage? Bowl, you only have a plastic bowl in your cage?"
"I can tell you, I just hope you don't let that woman speak, she's very noisy."
The middle-aged man repeatedly emphasized that women are noisy, and Chen Ge was curious, but he agreed on the surface: "Yes, but only if you didn't lie and deceive me."
"I never lie." The man sat in the iron cage with a low voice: "The old man is not in good health and has a bad temper. After his wife left, he stayed at home alone, and depended on his son to support him. Doctor, the salary is not high, but it is not a problem to support two people. But later, the old man did not know what to think. With the help of others, he asked a widow to be a wife. His son did not object, but just moved Go out and send him money every month."
"The world is unpredictable. It didn't take long for his son, who was a doctor, to be in constant contact with patients. He suddenly went crazy and injured several patients in the hospital."
"His son lost his job, and the patient's family refused to forgive him. After all the money was lost, the matter calmed down."
"The son is crazy and needs treatment. The public mental hospital costs three or four thousand a month, which is unbearable for him. At a critical time, the hospital where his son worked before stood up and sent him to the public hospital at a cost far lower than that of the public hospital. The son was admitted to the hospital."
"The former doctor became a patient, and the son's personality became more and more eccentric. Until the hospital closed down, he was not cured."
"During the time when my son was hospitalized, the old man's health was getting worse and worse. When he got older, no one asked him to go out to work, and all the money he earned was posted to the hospital. The new widow also divorced him. ."
"He told his son about his embarrassment and hoped that his son could cheer up and overcome the disease."
"Unfortunately, it didn't take long for his son to bite someone in the same village."
"Once he fell ill, his son's desire to destroy became extremely strong. In the end, he had no choice. The old man made an iron cage to lock his son in."
"It didn't take long for this to happen, and the old man also fell ill. Not to mention medical treatment, now it's a problem to eat."
"The old man looked at his son who was sick from time to time in the iron cage, and finally made a decision."
"Every time he waited until his son was sick to deliver water, and put two bowls outside the iron cage, one with clean water and the other with rat poison."
"Life or death, he lets his son choose."
The middle-aged man had a cold face. He didn't seem to have said so many words for a long time, and his face was even paler than before: "This is why there are two bowls of water at the door of the old man's iron cage."
After listening to the story of the middle-aged man, Chen Ge remembered the sentence under the counter at the nurse's station - everything you have done to me, I will return it.
