There are many cases of missing mental patients in modern society. It is useless to call the police. The result is often that the person is not found alive or dead.
I personally think that everyone seems to have overlooked one thing.
That's the morgue of the mental hospital.
Especially in some old mental hospitals built in the last century and still in operation today, if you look for them, you will find that there are many unidentified corpses of both men and women there without family members to claim them.
...
After locking the door and turning on the light, what came into view were two rows of "refrigerators" placed against the wall.
The refrigerator is a corpse cabinet. It is made of pig iron and looks like a large drawer. There is a red cloth strip tied to the handle of each refrigerator door. Perhaps because it has not been replaced for a long time, many of the red cloth strips have oxidized to black.
Purple.
I guess the red strips are tied to warn of "dirty" things, because only Yang people can open the refrigerator door...
"call...."
It's so cold. As a Mohe person, I feel like it's freezing here. The breath I exhale turns into a dark white color visible to the naked eye, and a light layer of white frost forms on my eyebrows in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, where are the cardboard boxes?"
I looked around in the dim light and found that the ground was clean and I couldn't even see the shadow of a cardboard box!
But Wu Le clearly said that the tools I want to use are hidden in the cardboard box.
Could it be that people from the hospital came in to clean it during this period? They took away all the cardboard boxes?
No way?
How could such a shrewd and experienced person as Wu Le make such a stupid mistake?
If I didn't have handy tools, I wouldn't be able to dig through the tunnel even if I dig for ten years!
Impossible...Wu Le must be hiding somewhere...
Frozen's teeth chattered. I endured the discomfort and pulled out the corpse cabinet closest to me.
I saw a skinny old man lying inside. His face was as white as snow, his eyes were closed and his hands were flat, and his body was frozen as hard as ice.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for bothering you!" After saying that, I pushed back.
Time was urgent, so I pulled out the second one, and there was still an old man lying inside. I was shocked when I pulled it out, because the old man had his hands crossed in front of his chest, and his eyes were open...
I was afraid that he would suddenly blink and sit up directly.
I pulled five of them apart at once, and they were all frozen dead. Seeing that it was about to be ten o'clock for the ward to be locked, I was extremely anxious.
Suddenly! Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a corpse cabinet of a different color, located on the bottom floor.
The others are all stainless steel in their original color, but this one has been painted in a light yellow color.
cartons, cartons...
That’s it! It turns out that Wu Le was referring to the appearance and color like a cardboard box!
I quickly ran over and pulled it out, and saw a bulging package inside.
When I untied it and took a look, I was stunned.
There are three things in total.
A sharp Luoyang shovel with two casings, an iron flying tiger claw, and a large pile of smooth cylindrical wood.
The front part of the Flying Tiger Claw is shaped like a tiger claw, with movable joints. The back half is tied with a high-strength climbing rope. We seldom use this thing except to climb into caves and tombs hidden in deep mountains and old forests.
This thing.
Finally, I was dumbfounded by the large package of cylindrical wood, because I had no idea what kind of tool it was. It had a mortise-and-tenon structure and seemed to be able to assemble it all.
At that moment, my heart felt very cold, even colder than the temperature in this morgue.
It's true that lines are separated by mountains. Wu Le doesn't understand our industry at all!
This is just digging a hole, not searching for a tomb. Give me a fucking Luoyang shovel to dry the hair!
You should give me a pickaxe! You should give me a short square shovel! Or you can just give me a tornado shovel!
"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"
Suddenly there was a rapid ringing of bells outside the door. I took my things and walked out. I was in a hurry and even forgot to push the morgue back.
I ran back and pushed the drawer back quickly. There was a corner ahead. It was dark on the other side of the corner. There should be a row of cabinets there.
At this moment, I suddenly heard some kind of "strange" sound coming from the corner.
I frowned and listened for a few seconds, then looked up.
This kind of sound is hard to describe, it's a bit like the sound of a rope hitting the ground. In addition, it is also mixed with the sound of "dong dong" stomping feet.
Like...like...there are a few people jumping rope over there.
Without looking back, I quickly opened the door and rushed out!
"Damn it! Didn't you say three minutes? Why did you come out! Give me the key quickly! I have to give it back!"
Throwing the key to him, I ran back to the ward, closed the door, and quickly hid the package containing the tools under the bed.
As soon as I took a breath, the management on the fourth floor came to lock the door.
The male manager opened the small window on the door and waved his flashlight into the room. Seeing me sitting seriously on the bed, he asked through the door: "Why don't you turn on the light?"
I smiled and replied: "Boss, why should I turn on the light when I'm about to go to sleep?"
"Why are you sweating so much on your face? What did you do just now?"
I smiled again and said: "Hey, what can I do? I just played a set of boxing in the chess and card room."
The male manager stared at me for a few seconds without saying anything, and turned around and left.
Phew...I'm scared to death.
I'm not hallucinating, why is there the sound of skipping rope?
There was only a wall between us and the morgue. I put my ear against the wall and listened carefully for a few minutes.
No sound was heard on the other end, it was eerily quiet.
Then I kept staring at the crack in the door until the light disappeared, which proved that the lights in the corridor had been turned off.
There were still people coming to check the room at 12 o'clock. It was not yet half past ten and it was still early. I took the package out from under the bed and gently opened the zipper.
After studying for a while, I finally figured out what these round logs with mortise and tenon structures were used for.
This is the centipede ladder used by old tomb robbers in the past!
To use it, first connect the thick logs section by section, which is the main body, then insert the slightly thinner logs on both sides of the main body, and finally, smash the short pins along the joints to fix them.
When it is done, it will be a strange-looking wooden ladder. When placed flat on the ground, it looks like a large centipede with many legs.
According to legend, the centipede ladder was invented by Lu Ban. Because of its special shape and easy portability, it is suitable for certain narrow environments. Tomb robbers in the past often used this ladder to rob Tang Dynasty tombs because the patios of Tang Dynasty tombs were very high. Use this ladder.
Climb up and steal the funerary objects placed on the patio.
Wu Le must have heard what someone said, so he prepared this for me.
This centipede ladder is somewhat useful, but the Luoyang shovel is really useless. It's fine for digging a small hole, but its digging ability is much worse than that of the cyclone shovel.
The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, so I simply lay down and covered my head to sleep.
After a few minutes, I poked my head out of the quilt again and looked towards the wall.
Maybe it's a psychological effect? I feel like there are eyes staring at me from the other side of the wall.
"Bang bang bang."
"Wu Feng, please come out." Then there was the sound of the door opening.
"What's wrong, leader, I just went to bed."
"Don't ask so many questions. Just put on your shoes and clothes and come out with us."
I quickly put on my clothes and followed the caregiver to the corridor.
"Brother, where are you taking me?"
He didn't reply and quickly led me to the door of a room.
There are several words written on the room sign, "Behavior Modification Treatment Room."
"Brother! No!" I said anxiously: "I didn't make a mistake! Why did you bring me here!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Come in quickly!"
I was pushed in and the door was locked.
When I saw the scene in the room, my right eyelid jumped with fright.
The male manager named Qu was sitting on a chair with an indifferent expression. The room was blocked by white curtains. I vaguely saw someone lying on the hospital bed.
The curtains were pulled open!
I saw that the person who helped me steal the key was tied to the bed by Wuhua Da.
There was a strange machine on the table nearby, connected to a wire, and two "electric iron"-like things were connected to one end of the wire.
The male manager surnamed Qu lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He put out the lighter and looked at me with a cold face and said: "He stole the key to my cold storage. It just so happened that you moved to the single room next to the cold storage today. Tell me, What do you want my key for?"
"Leader, are you making a mistake? I don't know this person at all! I don't know what the cold storage key you are talking about is!"
"Oh? Really...are you telling the truth?"
"I swear, leader! Everything I say is the truth!"
"Everything I say is a lie! My father and mother would be hit and killed by a car when they went out!"
I raised my hands and swore with firm eyes. In fact, my heart almost jumped into my throat.
If this guy turns me in, I'll be completely screwed.
"So you two don't know each other at all?"
"I don't know you at all! Leader, you know, I've only been here three days!"
He nodded, walked up to the buddy, and said, "Yan Xiaosi, I'm asking you once if your stealing my key has anything to do with this new guy."
This guy was tied to the bed with a look of fear in his eyes.
He twisted and struggled and yelled: "Boss, you made a mistake! I didn't steal your key!"
"Didn't steal it?"
"Fuck your mother!"
"You think I'm a fool!"
"My keys are always on the third belt buckle! If you hadn't moved! How could my keys have ended up on the fourth belt buckle! Could it be that the key has legs?"
After speaking, he made a look.
The person next to him immediately covered the guy's mouth with a cloth, then picked up the two "electric irons" and clamped them directly on both sides of the guy's temples.
"Woo!"
This guy instantly straightened his legs and his whole body became twisted. Then his crotch became wet, and the smell of urine filled the room.
"Tell me, why did you steal my key? You don't recognize me!"
"No...I don't know him."
Soon, this guy's mouth was gagged again.
The man named Qu walked aside and turned a round button on the machine to its head.
At that moment, I even smelled the smell of burning clothes.
This guy was lying on the bed, his eyes immediately turned white, his mouth was dripping with laughter, his whole body was shaking like chaff, but he didn't say a word.
"Boss, we need to lock it down. People may die if we go down there."
The man named Qu waved his hand and the machine was turned off.
"It seems that you two really don't know each other..."
I was so nervous that I was sweating and said quickly: "I really don't know you! Leader, you are wrong!"
He looked at me and said, "Even if I'm wrong, even if Yan Xiaosi didn't steal my key, I still feel like you are hiding some secret in your heart."
With a cold face, he turned around and ordered: "Go and search his room. Search carefully for me. Don't miss the corners or under the bed."
When I heard this, my legs became weak and I almost couldn't stand.
