Xiao Dong watched the two old men being carried away and the other kidnapped. He covered his bleeding hands and asked his colleagues who were present for a bag to put the dentures in.
Although it was a bit ridiculous, he had a hunch, and this was the evidence. Soon after, after waking up in the hospital, the uncle confirmed this with his own words.
"Hey, comrade policeman, you are a good comrade..."
Probably knowing that he couldn't keep it secret, the old man confessed everything after only a few rounds of questioning after meeting Xiao Dong.
The cause of the incident was about a month ago.
That afternoon, the old man and his wife went out for a walk. They encountered a wild dog that jumped out of nowhere in the park and barked at the two of them. At that time, the old man didn't pay attention, but his wife was unhappy and beat him with something.
, but accidentally, he was bitten and fell down.
"I asked her to get an injection, but she didn't want to say anything..."
As I get older, I sometimes have a bad temper. The old woman insisted not to get vaccinated, so the old man had no choice but to go home, clean and disinfect, and simply deal with it. After that, although he was still a little worried, the old man was more or less lucky and paralyzed.
Psychologically, I didn’t take it too seriously.
"Who knows, this wound is just not good..."
Lying on the hospital bed, although the bite wound had been bandaged, the regret on the old man's face could not be concealed, "Oh, it's all my fault..."
What happened next was far beyond the old man’s expectation. First, the old woman’s wound showed no sign of healing after ten days and a half. Then, her behavior became more and more weird. She was a good, capable person who could talk.
People suddenly become dull and numb, especially during the day. Sometimes, even if they lie down and sit for a whole day, nothing will happen.
The old man reacted, neither eating nor drinking, like a demented person. Later, the old man discovered that his wife became different at night. At first, he was just irritable and uneasy, and later he started yelling.
After more than ten days, I couldn’t even recognize him and would pounce on him and bite him when I saw him...
"In the past half month or so, she has stopped drinking water and is afraid of the light..."
As he spoke, the old man shed tears.
Xiao Dong sat aside, frowning inadvertently. Having been together for decades, one can imagine the relationship between the two old men, and he could completely understand the old man's mood.
Later, the old man realized that his wife might have rabies. He hurriedly took his wife to the hospital, but the result was unexpected. After an examination, the hospital gave the result that the old woman did not have rabies.
It was just that there was blood accumulation in the brain, leading to a slight cerebral thrombosis, which resulted in abnormal behavior... Only then did the old man regret it and blamed himself for not paying attention to it and not sending his wife to the hospital in time.
However, the matter has come to this, and the old man can only accept the reality. When he returns home, he takes more care of his wife, but who knows that things have developed in an even more uncontrollable direction. When the old man first discovered that his wife had hurt someone, it was already
It was time for the third victim to appear, and before that, two similar incidents had occurred.
"That night, I found she was gone and the door opened..."
That time, the old man mobilized the whole family and finally found the old woman in the grass in the park. But only two days later, a similar thing happened again. Fortunately, the old man had experience and quickly found her again in the park.
Found him back... At first, he thought that his wife just suffered from dementia and was simply lost. Until not long after, rumors began to spread in the community.
There was news that residents were attacked by unknown persons at night... At first, the old man didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't connect it with his wife's abnormal behavior. It wasn't until the third case occurred that the situation became more and more serious and caused an uproar.
Then he remembered that when his wife was lost, he would always bleed due to bumps and bumps, and he realized that things might not be that simple...
"From that time on, at night, I would lock her in the room...I, I'm sorry for you, comrade police, and I'm sorry for society, but she is my wife and has been with me for most of my life..."
The old man burst into tears and sobbed, unable to speak.
Xiao Dong was speechless for a long time.
At this point, although there are still some missing links, the main causes and consequences are all there, and the outline of the whole thing is roughly clear.
"We compared the bite marks on the dentures, and we can basically confirm that she is the suspect in the previous cases, but..."
At night, Xiao Dong left the old man's room to visit the old man.
Mother-in-law, the police officer guarding the door briefly explained the situation, but his expression was a little helpless.
Xiao Dong stood at the door, looking in through the glass. The old woman was almost tied to the bed, but she was still twisting and struggling. The strength was so strong that even the straps tightened her flesh... There was no other way, so the doctor had to
She was given a sedative to calm her down temporarily.
"The doctor said that the preliminary diagnosis is bipolar disorder, which mainly manifests as depression and mania... To put it simply, it is mental illness..."
"Um……"
In fact, no one else needs to say it, Xiao Dong probably guessed it. However, when the guess turned into reality, his mood was a bit complicated. Say he was unhappy, but after all, the case was solved; say he was happy, when he thought of the two
It’s hard not to sympathize with the old man’s experiences and the series of problems he will face next.
"Captain Xiao, are you okay?"
"ah?"
"Your hand."
"Oh, it's okay. I asked the doctor to disinfect it." Xiao Dong looked at his palms and shook his head, "Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll go back first."
"Okay, you can go back. That's right..." The young police officer gave a thumbs up and said with sincere admiration: "Awesome, you can finish the case that took me a month to complete in one day."
"whispering sound--"
Xiao Dong waved his hand, completely disapproving of it. It wasn't that he was arrogant and pretended to be cool, but he knew in his heart that this time he was just lucky.
but……
Before leaving, he took another look at the ward.
After taking the sedative, the old man seemed to be asleep, enjoying a rare quiet time. However, when he saw her black nails and thought of her black and red eyes...
Xiao Dong still couldn't help but shudder in his heart. Until now, he still couldn't figure out where her inexplicable strength came from. Is that really how a seventy-year-old man should behave? Although
, that also helped him a lot. After all, if it were an ordinary old man, those two feet...
"well--"
Rubbing his sore shoulders and back, he sighed and stopped thinking about it.
Probably, all mental patients are like this, right? Their brains are unclear, they are fearless, and they probably don’t know pain, so they are much tougher than ordinary people.
