Hearing Chen Ge's question, the three people in the iron cage behaved differently.
The old man, whose face was stained with oil, said nothing and licked his fingers, as if he was reminiscing about what he had just eaten.
The woman's eyes widened and she struggled desperately in the iron cage, like a big fish that had been thrown ashore.
The middle-aged man's behavior was the most abnormal. Among the three, he was the only one who kept staring at Chen Ge.
"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 someone coming over. He sat in the middle of the cage, sucking the remaining oil stains on his fingers as if no one was around.
"He is the one who was transferred from the first ward." Chen Ge looked at the old man for a long time and found nothing wrong: "The hair is uneven and has been 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 counter at the nurse's station. Some of it was black and white and should belong to the old man in front of him.
"My hair has been shaved once, and it can still grow so much. It seems that the old man has been imprisoned here for a long time." At that time, Chen Ge compared the hair length and thought that four different people had their heads shaved, but in front of him
There are only three people.
"There's still one that hasn't been found."
Chen Ge glanced at the woman, and finally stopped at the middle-aged man. His hair was long and messy, covering his head: "This man's hair doesn't seem to have been shaved?"
Chen Ge became more careful. It seemed that shaving his head was the murderer's bad taste. He was playing with his prey, but why would the murderer leave the middle-aged man alone?
Does the middle-aged man know the murderer? Or is he the murderer?
Chen Ge was startled by his thoughts. At the connection between the first ward and the second ward, Chen Ge saw an unfamiliar face. It was an asymmetrical and somewhat deformed face.
Being able to walk freely in the ward, and also monitoring and tracking himself, the deformed face should be the murderer behind the scenes, but now there is another middle-aged man. From this point of view, there may be more than one murderer imprisoning the victim.
Chen Ge tightened his grip on the tool hammer, and even thought of a worse situation in his mind.
What if everyone in this ward was a murderer except myself.
Of course, this is unlikely.
He thought for a moment and finally stopped in front of the woman.
Neither man meant to answer his question, so he had to try to remove the pillowcase from the woman's mouth to see if he could get any information from her.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here to rescue you." Chen Ge shook the lock on the iron cage. There was no key. If he just smashed it with a hammer, God knows how long it would take to release the three of them.
Women seem to have a natural fear of living people. Chen Ge started to get sick as soon as he came near her, whimpering, shaking his head and waving his hands, and became emotional.
"Calm down, I won't do anything to you." Chen Ge walked around to the woman and was about to take off the pillowcase from her mouth when the middle-aged man behind him who had been silent suddenly spoke.
"I advise you not to let her talk, she is very noisy."
Turning his head, Chen Ge saw a pair of gloomy, guarded eyes. This middle-aged man didn't know whether he was like this to everyone or just to 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 disgusted.
"She is 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 a chance to get useful information from their words.
"Yes, it's very noisy." The middle-aged man spoke in a rigid manner. He seemed to feel sick even talking to others.
"Can you tell me the reason? Is she mentally stimulated?"
Chen Ge asked two questions in a row, but the middle-aged man remained silent. It was not until Chen Ge reached into the iron cage again and was about to take the pillowcase from the woman's mouth that the middle-aged man uttered three words: "I don't know.
.”
"What do you know? You don't know this woman, but 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 plastic boxes 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 is very noisy."
The middle-aged man repeatedly emphasized that women are noisy. Chen Ge was curious, but on the surface he agreed: "Yes, but only if you don't lie and deceive me."
"I never lie." The man sat in the iron cage with a low voice: "The old man is in poor health and has a bad temper. After his wife left, he stayed at home alone and relied on his son to support him. His son is a
The doctor's salary is not high, but there is no problem in supporting two people. But later, the old man didn't know what he thought. With the help of others, he asked a widow to be his wife. His son didn't object either, but he just moved.
Go out and send him money every month.”
"Things are unpredictable. Not long after, his son, a doctor, suddenly went crazy and injured several patients in the hospital. It was said that he was in frequent contact with patients."
"His son lost his job, and the patient's family refused to give in. They lost all their money before things calmed down."
"My son is crazy and needs treatment. The public mental hospital charges three to four thousand a month. This amount is unbearable for him. At the critical moment, the hospital where his son used to work stepped forward and transferred him to a hospital at a cost far lower than that of a public hospital."
My son has been admitted to the hospital."
"The former doctor became a patient, and my son's personality became increasingly eccentric. He was not cured until the hospital closed down."
"While his son was hospitalized, the old man's health became worse and worse. As he got older, no one asked him to go out to work, and all the money he earned was given to the hospital. The newly begged widow also divorced him.
.”
"He told his son about his embarrassment and hoped that his son could cheer up and overcome the disease."
"Unfortunately, not long after, his son bit someone from the same village."
"Once he got sick, his son became very destructive. In the end, he had no choice but to make an iron cage and locked his son in it."
"Not long after this lasted, the old man also fell ill. Let alone treatment, eating has now become a problem."
"The old man looked at his son who was getting sick from time to time in the iron cage, and finally made a decision."
"Every time he waited until his son was sick before delivering water, he put two bowls outside the iron cage. One bowl contained clean water, and the other contained rat poison."
"Whether it's life or death, he let his son choose."
The middle-aged man had a cold face. He seemed to have not said so many words for a long time, and his face was 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 middle-aged man's story, Chen Ge remembered the words under the counter at the nurse's station - I will pay you back for everything you have done to me.
