Chang Gu didn't say the reason, his voice was urgent, and he hung up the phone directly after saying this.
"Why is Chang Gu in a mental hospital? How did he, an almost completely blind man, get there? Was he being held hostage?"
Putting away his phone, Chen Ge slowly stood up while carrying the backpack he had prepared.
"Put the task of the psychic ghost school aside for now. Let's make a choice based on the situation after meeting Chang Gu." He left the paradise and took a taxi to Hanjiang Mental Illness Center.
There are three mental hospitals in normal operation in Hanjiang. Coincidentally, Chen Ge has been to all three hospitals.
Entering the hall, Chen Ge went directly to a corner where there were few people, then opened the comic book and called Qiu Mei out.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Before Chen Ge had time to communicate with Qiu Mei, he was seen by a doctor: "It's too late. If you want to see the patient, you should come back tomorrow."
"I'm not here to see a patient?" Chen Ge turned around slowly, his brain thinking quickly about countermeasures.
"Then you're here to see a doctor?" When the doctor saw Chen Ge's face, his expression was very surprised: "Is it you?"
Chen Ge also recognized the doctor. He had met this doctor when he used Li Zheng's name to go to the mental hospital to investigate Jiang Xiaohu.
Although he forgot the doctor's name, he still remembered his face.
"Team Li asked you to come here again?" The doctor didn't expect to see Chen Ge again.
Nodding, Chen Ge said softly: "I want to ask you about someone."
"who?"
"His name is Chang Gu."
"There seems to be no patient with this name."
"Is this person among the family members who came to see the patient? He has bad eyesight, and there is only the white of one eye."
"If such a distinctive person appears, the nurse in the duty room should be impressed. Please wait a moment, I will go to the duty room to ask."
Arriving at the duty room, when the doctor told Chang Gu's physical characteristics, the staff immediately recalled it.
"They came here in the evening to visit a patient who was in a deep coma."
"them?"
"Yes, in addition to the blind man, there are two men and a woman. I don't know what their relationship is. I feel that the atmosphere between them is very strange. They don't seem to be familiar with each other." The staff looked at the doctor.
Answer truthfully and honestly.
"Where are they now?"
"They left after visiting the patient, but there was something strange." The staff member thought for a while before speaking: "The two men and one woman left half an hour later and then came back and asked me if I had seen the blind man.
They seemed to be separated, and I helped them search in the hospital."
Chen Ge roughly understood what happened. Chang Gu was found by "parents" and came to the mental hospital for some reasons. After visiting the patients, Chang Gu escaped again.
"Brother, which patient are they visiting today? Can you take me there to have a look?"
"This..." The staff member looked at the doctor. After getting the doctor's consent, he dared to agree; "Okay, I will take you there."
Several people walked out of the building and came to an isolation ward behind the mental hospital.
Chen Ge has seen this kind of isolation ward before, and it is usually used to treat extremely high-risk patients.
"The patient they are visiting is called Chang Wenyu. She is a vegetative state. She has lived here for many years. She seems to have no family, but someone will send her hospital bills every month." The staff was deeply impressed by Chang Wenyu.
"A vegetative person, why do you put her in an isolation ward? She won't hurt other people." Chen Ge was a little curious.
"Although she is in a vegetative state and has been unconscious, as long as she gets too close to this female patient, some inexplicable things will always happen." The staff wanted to say something else, but the doctor next to him suddenly coughed and interrupted.
Words from staff.
"I have heard about this patient Chang Wenyu. After the attending doctor examined her body, he found that her brain nerves and neurological functions were completely normal. She did not seem to be in a coma, but more like hibernation, or a deep sleep would be more appropriate.
Some." The doctor explained to Chen Ge.
"What is deep sleep?"
"You can simply understand that the patient is having a dream that she cannot wake up from." The doctor seemed unwilling to discuss this topic with Chen Ge in depth, and quickened his pace: "Here we are, right here."
The isolation ward of Hanjiang Mental Illness Center is different from the isolation ward in the third ward, and is more humane. There are no high walls or iron fences, but a no-entry warning sign is hung at the door.
After entering the ward, Chen Ge clearly felt that something was wrong. The temperature of this building was much lower than the other one, and it was also much quieter. There was almost no noise, as if they were the only living people in the whole building.
After walking through the corridor, Chen Ge became even more confused.
Normally, more dangerous patients are sent to deeper rooms.
Chang Wenyu is just a comatose vegetative person, but her ward is at the deepest part of the whole building!
"Can I go into the ward and take a look?" The ward door was not locked. Before the doctor agreed, Chen Ge pushed the door open.
This ward is very large, with three beds, but only the middle bed has people lying on it.
Walking to the bedside, what caught Chen Ge's eyes was a face full of special beauty.
The patient information sticker on the bedside showed that the woman was almost thirty years old, but her face looked like that of a girl in her late teens.
Time seems to have forgotten this woman. Maturity and sweetness are intertwined, like a glass of graceful and mellow red wine, or a glass of milk tea with ice cubes.
It's just a pity that the woman's left eye was removed, leaving only a black hole in the eye socket, which destroyed the beauty of the entire face and made her look sickly and different.
"Is she Chang Wenyu?"
The patient on the hospital bed was completely different from the Chang Wenyu in Chen Ge's imagination, and time had not left any traces on her body.
Looking down, Chen Ge found that the bed sheets were hanging to the ground, and a corner of the quilt was lifted, exposing the restraints underneath.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Is this?" Chen Ge lifted the quilt, but it was too late for the doctor to stop him.
Under the thin patient-specific quilt, Chang Wenyu's hands and feet were all fixed to the hospital bed by restraints.
"Why do you use restraints on a vegetative person? Will she ever get up again?" Chen Ge felt that there was something wrong even more. He stared at the doctor, wanting the other party to give him an explanation.
Knowing that there was no way to escape, the doctor finally said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Some employees saw her appearing in the corridor during the night shift. At that time, they thought it was a ghost."
"Have your people seen her walking down the hallway by herself?"
"Yes, more than once, but the surveillance has never captured it, and every time we see it, it is after midnight. What's even weirder is that as long as we observe in secret, she will never move.
You will encounter it suddenly if you are not paying attention." The doctor pushed the staff member next to him forward: "He only saw it once."
There are still many male nurses in mental hospitals, and they are also the main force on the night shift.
"I saw her once. It was at the door of the toilet. I was washing my hands. Suddenly I saw another figure reflected in the mirror. She walked past me."
"I was frightened at the time and shouted loudly, but when I calmed down and chased her out again, she had disappeared."
"I returned to the ward and found that she was still in bed."
Thinking of the experience at that time, the staff felt panicked.
"Could it be another person? Are you sure it's her you saw?" Chen Ge thought with divergent thinking: "Maybe it's another mental patient pretending to be her, or maybe there's something else there.
Night appears."
"Ahem!" The doctor kept coughing. He felt that if Chen Ge was not interrupted, the nurses here would no longer be able to work the night shift: "From our point of view, the most likely cause is sleepwalking. But this patient
The most special thing is that she is a vegetative state. No one knows what she saw in her head when she fell into a deep coma, or what she is experiencing at this time. Therefore, we cannot use traditional methods to treat her. We can only treat her
She tied it up like this first."
"Then after you tied her up, you didn't see her again on duty at night?" Chen Ge felt that the matter was not that simple, but no matter how he asked, the doctor and the male nurse insisted that since they tied up Chang Wenyu, at midnight
She never appeared again.
The hospital should have unified its approach and attributed all symptoms to sleepwalking. Anyway, Wenyu was in a deep coma. She was unconscious and unable to resist. How could it be said that the hospital didn't make the decision?
Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Chen Ge was about to leave. The first priority was to find Chang Gu first.
When he was about to cover the bed with a thin quilt, he suddenly saw a hand stretched out from under the hospital bed.
His five fingers were exposed from the hem of the bed sheet, and that hand seemed to be grabbing Chen Ge.
There was dirt left between the nails, and there were scars from branches on the back of the hand. The first time Chen Ge saw this hand, he thought of Chang Gu.
The most dangerous place is the safest place. The "parents" who kidnapped Chang Gu must have never imagined that he actually didn't go anywhere and had been hiding in the hospital ward.
When others saw a hand suddenly stretched out from under the bed, even if they didn't cry out in fright, at least their expressions would change slightly, but Chen Ge remained very calm from beginning to end.
He blocked Chang Gu's hand with his own leg, took a step forward gently, pushed Chang Gu's hand under the sheets with the back of his shoe, and then said directly: "Guys, I'm here to track down a murder case.
The situation you described is very similar to the situation at the murder scene."
When he heard the word murder, the male nurse's face turned pale instantly. He often worked night shifts and was very scared to begin with.
"This doctor should know the relationship between me and the Hanjiang police. People don't tell secrets. I want to stay vigil outside this ward tonight. I have a very important guess that needs to be verified."
If anyone else had said this, they would have been kicked out by the doctor long ago, but Chen Ge was different. This doctor was familiar with Li Zheng, and he often heard about Chen Ge's deeds from Li Zheng.
"It's too dangerous for you to stay in the isolation ward alone." The doctor shook his head.
"That's right, our night shift nurses rarely come here." The male nurse felt that Chen Ge was unreliable. What kind of person would come to a mental hospital at night and say that he wanted to stay vigil? This is not in line with the rules at all.
"Let's do this." The doctor thought for a long time and said to the male nurse next to him: "Xiao Zhu, stay with him in the isolation ward tonight. By the way, call Huang Wei and ask him to come over too."
"Ah? Should I accompany him?" the male nurse couldn't believe her ears.
"Keep an eye on him at night. If you are unsure about anything, call me right away. I'll be in the office." Psychiatrists are actually very hardworking. Do many people think there are so many patients? In fact, go to a regular mental hospital for a tour.
You will find that the wards there are always tight, and some patients even have to sleep in the corridor. Often a doctor has to be responsible for many patients at the same time, and it is common to work overtime voluntarily.
After the doctor left, Chen Ge felt much more relaxed.
Maybe Dr. Gao left such a deep impression on him that he always felt a little uncomfortable when facing these psychologists or psychiatrists.
"Just stay outside. I have something to say to that woman."
"She is in a deep coma. No matter what you say, she can't hear it." Xiao Zhu, a male nurse, reminded.
"It's okay." Chen Ge entered the ward, stood next to the hospital bed, looked at the unconscious Chang Wenyu, and said softly: "I hope you can fall asleep tonight, I will guard you next to you. If that door appears again, I will
I will do my best to help you.”
In Xiao Zhu's eyes, Chen Ge didn't look like a normal person at all. The thought of spending a night with such a person made his scalp numb.
The hem of his trousers was pulled, and Chen Ge knew that this was Chang Gu's response to him. He did not go out again, but lay down on another hospital bed.
"The left eye was brought from that school. It should be able to see things in that school." Chen Ge's purpose of helping Chang Gu was simple. He just wanted to see what the scene in the psychic ghost school was like in advance.
In this way, if the danger is really far higher than expected, then he can only give up the mission.
Chen Ge lowered his head and looked at the time on his phone. It was now ten o'clock in the evening, and there were still two hours before the deadline for the Ghost School mission.
Staring at Chang Wenyu's hospital bed, Chen Ge was highly focused.
After a few minutes like this, sleepiness came over him like a tide, and he kept running around. It had been more than thirty-six hours since he had closed his eyes.
Holding the phone in hand, the scene in front of Chen Ge slowly became blurry.
…
The ward suddenly became quiet. Xiao Zhu stood at the door and saw Chen Ge lying motionless on the bed, not knowing what he was doing.
"What a strange person." He sat on a bench in the corridor, leaning against the wall, and slowly became sleepy.
