In the office of the special case team, Professor Liang and Bao Zhan were playing chess, while Su Mei and Hua Long were sitting in front of the computer arguing about something.
Professor Liang: Xiaomei, what’s wrong?
Su Mei: Hualong insisted that I put the photos of his girl on this website.
Professor Liang: Just put it for him. It’s so easy to put a photo.
Su Mei: Uncle Liang, you don’t know.
Bao Zhan also turned around and asked: What website?
Su Mei:Google!
Everyone except Hua Long burst out laughing, and Bai Jingyu walked in with a criminal investigation file.
Hua Long: Boss, what’s the case again? Where are you going this time?
Bai Jingyu: Hell, literally.
Su Mei: What place is so scary?
Bai Jingyu: In that place, if a fat person goes in, he will become a thin person, and if a thin person goes in, he will become a fat person. No matter whether he is fat or thin, he will become like a zombie there, with expressionless face and slow movements.
Professor Liang: I know where it is, a mental hospital.
Bai Jingyu: Yes, I visited a mental hospital once before. There were many lunatics who committed serious crimes in there. That time, I was attacked.
Su Mei: Ah, how did you attack?
Bai Jingyu didn't seem to want to say this. After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly and said: They use feces.
On December 29, 2007, a major murder occurred in Anding Mental Hospital. The dean and his wife were killed. The murder scene was in the hospital morgue. The scene was horrific, with rivers of blood and many bloody fingerprints on the walls of the room.
, and there were many bloody footprints. Preliminary investigation by the local police revealed that the fingerprints belonged to the dean’s wife and the footprints belonged to the dean. The morgue guard was still alive, but his tongue was cut off and thrown into the pool, and his hand tendons and hamstrings were picked.
The murderer also opened his skull and removed the cerebellum.
Three people were tied to the operating table made of stretchers in the shape of a "Y". All three people were under general anesthesia.
The dean and his wife were dead, and the murderer cut their bodies into pieces.
Although the caretaker is still alive, he is in a vegetative state, his life is critical, and he may die at any time.
The special case team looked at these bloody photos. In the photos, three people's eyeballs protruded and their eyelids were cut off.
Hualong pointed at the photo and asked: Why do you do this?
Professor Liang said: The murderer asked them to look at each other...
The case was so serious that the local police, health department, and civil affairs department jointly applied for the assistance of the special case team. The provincial department attached great importance to it. Director Yan of the Serious Case Division of the Criminal Investigation Bureau accompanied the special case team, and they rushed to Anding Mental Hospital as soon as possible.
The police surrounded the entire hospital, and they initially determined that the murderer was a doctor or patient in the mental hospital.
The hospital building is very old. It was built in the 1930s. It was formerly a nursing home for officers during the war. Bomb craters can still be seen on the porch. Entering through an iron gate, there are two rows of blue brick buildings inside, which are the reception rooms.
, waiting room and visiting room, there are cockscombs planted in the flowerbed in front of the door. Then entering an iron gate, you suddenly see a large courtyard, empty, the building is very dilapidated, the walls are covered with wall-crawlers, and the leaves have already
It was all gone, and there were many dry tendons wrapping around the whole building, which looked very strange and terrifying.
Four people from the special case team and Director Yan of the Provincial Department walked into the building. In the conference room of the hospital, the vice president introduced that this mental hospital integrates compulsory admission, general treatment, psychiatric evaluation, drug control, and sexually transmitted disease treatment. There are 83 patients in total.
doctors and medical staff, 210 patients. Since the murder, many doctors were ready to resign, but the vice president did not approve because the murderer might be hiding among them. Also, when the doctors resigned, the number of patients in the hospital also
Without supervision, many of these patients are severely mentally ill who endanger society and violate criminal laws.
Professor Liang made a detailed division of labor. Director Yan led the local police to conduct further autopsies. The technical department conducted detailed trace identification on the crime scene. Hualong and Su Mei were responsible for questioning the hospital staff, especially everyone on the night of the crime.
To find out the specific whereabouts of the individual, the deputy director and experts conducted emergency rescue operations for the morgue keeper. He was the only survivor who had seen the murderer.
83 staff members in the hospital were questioned in several batches. Many of them were uncooperative. Su Mei handed out pens and papers and asked them to write down in detail what they were doing on the night of the crime and whether they found anything suspicious. Quite a bit.
Some people thought it was the vice president or their own leaders who did it, while others scrawled and a nurse drew a circle on the paper without writing any words.
Su Mei asked the nurse: What do you mean? Why do you have a beard?
The nurse said: I want to resign. After saying that, she glared at Su Mei, turned around and left. When she was going out, she slammed her fist on the table with such force that everything on the table was shaken into the air.
Due to work requirements, nurses in mental hospitals need to be as strong as men, and all of them are sturdy and strong.
Professor Liang and Bao Zhan, accompanied by the head nurse, visited the mental hospital. The structure of the hospital is no different from that of a prison. There are iron gates everywhere. Severe patients are isolated and cannot come in and out freely. Except for a few patients who voluntarily receive treatment, they can be discharged.
Patients who are involuntarily hospitalized rarely recover and return to society.
The second floor is for mentally ill patients sent by their guardians or relatives, the third floor is for homeless mental patients treated by the civil affairs department, and the fourth floor is for compulsory treatment of mentally ill prisoners who have violated criminal laws.
In the reception room on the second floor, Professor Liang asked several mentally ill patients who voluntarily received treatment. These people were allowed to engage in outdoor activities and read newspapers in the reading room. The murderer might also be one of the mentally ill patients.
The first person who came in was a woman wearing glasses, who looked like an intellectual, very haggard and very beautiful. She frankly said that she was a murderer and had long wanted to kill the dean because he had raped her many times.
, she vividly talked about how the dean raped her, and the details she told were very real. Then she changed the subject and said to Professor Liang: You want to rape me too, I know.
Professor Liang was very embarrassed and looked through the medical records. He found that this was a patient with delusional disorder. She believed that everyone wanted to rape her.
Then came a fat man with white skin and dark circles under his eyes. He looked like a panda. He squatted down in the corner, his hands were shaking violently, and the muscles on his face were twitching. The head nurse quietly introduced that many patients
Because of the medication, the circles under my eyes will become dark and my limbs will shake.
Professor Liang asked: Have you been to the dean’s office?
The fat man began to say nervously: I went there and the dean secretly drank my wine. There was a well in his room. I put a bunch of beer in the well water. The beer in the well water tasted better than cold beer.
do you know?
Professor Liang asked again: Have you heard that the dean was killed?
The fat man said: There are three of them. I can see clearly that the murderer is standing behind you now.
Professor Liang and Bao Zhan couldn't help but look back. There was no one behind them, just a wall.
The head nurse waved him down and Bao Zhan looked at the case. The fat man was a patient with visual hallucinations.
After the fat man left, a young man walked into the reception room. He looked like a college student and was polite. Professor Liang looked through the cases. He was a schizophrenic patient with dual personalities. Both personalities have their own names and names.
Memory lives in a person's body. If the body is a machine, this machine is controlled by two people."
He smiled and said hello, sat down at the table, put his hands neatly on his knees, and looked like a normal person.
Professor Liang: Name?
Young man: Liu Wuxin.
Bao Zhan: Why, your medical record says Du Ping, who is Du Ping?
The young man patted his chest and said: This body belongs to him, it belongs to Du Ping.
Professor Liang: A person has split into two personalities. I think you seem to be an educated person. What should I call you?
Young man: My name is Liu Wuxin, and I live in his body...
Bao Zhan: Do you know Du Ping?
Young man: We have never communicated. He doesn’t know that I exist, but I can recognize him. He is uneducated and doesn’t like to think, so I replaced him. It’s that simple.
Bao Zhan: You are very smart. Did your family send you here?
Young man: I came here voluntarily. I like it here. I like the mental hospital. Here I can talk nonsense, go crazy, and do what I like freely. I like the feeling of freedom. I hate other people's self-righteousness and pressure. Everything is here.
It's all normal, whether it's peeing on the bed, pooping in the bowl, beating anyone you don't like, or taking a walk naked, you can do it as long as you like. It's all normal here, as far as doctors are concerned
It is said that only normal is abnormal.
Professor Liang: Does Du Ping like it here?
Young man: Now it's me, Liu Wuxin, now, he doesn't exist.
Professor Liang: Hello Liu Wuxin, you love thinking very much, so let me ask you, what is existence?
Young people: Like you, I only exist in a specific time and space. Where do we come from and why are we here? We are all created from nothingness. For example, we exist in a book
In the book, we are the characters in the book, and the people reading the book are the characters in another book!
Professor Liang: What were you doing the night the dean was killed?
Young people: read a book.
Bao Zhan: What book?
Young People: "A Brief History of Time".
After the inquiry was over, the young man stood up to say goodbye. He shook hands with Professor Liang and Bao Zhan politely. While shaking hands, he quietly handed a note to Professor Liang. After the head nurse left, Professor Liang unfolded the note.
, there is a sentence written on it:
You should be careful of the head nurse, there is a man living inside her!
Bao Zhan and Professor Liang looked at the back of the head nurse. She was a tall and strong woman with curly hair.
That night, the head nurse packed up a few beds in the reception room. The four members of the special case team and Director Yan all stayed in the mental hospital. The entrance to the hospital was still under martial law. There was a street in front of the mental hospital. Standing in the reception room
In front of the window, you can see many policemen with guns at the door. From the back window, you can see a cemetery behind the mental hospital. According to the deputy director, most of the homeless mental patients in the hospital
Unclaimed, there are also those mentally ill patients who were forcibly admitted for committing crimes and endangering society. Because of their aggressive nature, their families dare not take them in, and the mental hospitals dare not release them. After they die, they are buried there.
At midnight, Hua Long and Bao Zhan were awakened by screams in the cemetery behind the building. They woke up Director Yan, and the three of them went to the cemetery with flashlights to check.
The cemetery was dark and gloomy, with tall grass. From time to time, the sound of a woman's strange laughter could be heard. The three of them walked around several graves, and the moment they entered the cemetery, they clearly heard the cry of a woman coming from the depths of the cemetery.
Hua Long took out his gun and Bao Zhan took out the flashlight and shined it. There was a woman in white standing behind a grave.
