"Dr. Yin!!" I calmed down my emotions that were a little out of control, and looked at Yin Ruiping and the five nurses who were walking towards us, and my heart was a little more steady.

Yin Ruiping nodded at the six of us, and then glanced sideways at the door of the closed observation room behind Wang Yi.

"Let's go down there first!" After Yin Ruiping finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the five nurses: "You will come back to my office in ten minutes." ”

The nurse looked at each other and nodded.

Immediately, the few of them left the sixth floor first.

About three minutes later, the six of us came to Yin Ruiping's office again.

I only looked at him after closing the door.

"Doctor Yin, do you know who Mina's three friends are, the old man, the philosopher, and the keeper of secrets? Are you also a patient in the hospital? Can you arrange for us to meet with them? ”

Yin Ruiping glanced up at me with a complicated expression, and sat back in the chair behind his desk.

"Yes! The old man is the schizophrenic I told you about earlier with delusions of victimization as the main symptom. ”

At this point, I frowned slightly.

"Wait!! I remember you telling us she was supposed to be a thirty-five-year-old woman. But why is it called an old man? I interrupted Yin Ruiping's words and asked with some puzzlement.

Yin Ruiping was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"As a reporter, you can remember even a sentence I mentioned casually, so clearly." Yin Ruiping finally had a smile on his face, and he nodded: "That's right." The 'old man' is a woman, her name is Lai Guiqiong, and she is a high school teacher. Before being admitted to the hospital, she was suspected of being abused by her husband, but Lai Guiqiong, who has always been good-looking, was reluctant to call the police or tell other relatives and friends in order to maintain her reputation at school. Over time, under the long-term domestic violence, she gradually began to become abnormal. Later, he was admitted to our hospital and diagnosed with schizophrenia. Originally, she had already controlled her condition under the treatment of our hospital, and there was a trend of gradual improvement, but ...... Unexpectedly, since she was put in the same ward as Mina, her condition had worsened, and she gradually began to develop other symptoms. Later, we transferred her to another ward in time. From that time on, she began to think of herself as an old man in her seventies and began to imitate the voices of older people. Eventually, even her new patients began to believe that she was an old man and called her 'old man'. ”

Speaking of this, Yin Ruiping sighed.

Now, the symptoms of her delusions of being killed are becoming more and more obvious, and she always thinks that someone is trying to harm her. In short, you will understand everything when you go and meet her. ”

My eyes lit up, and I looked at him with some excitement.

"So, do you agree with us going to see those three patients?"

Yin Ruiping's expression was a little gloomy, he nodded, and shook his head again.

"Sort of! If you still have the courage to meet the other two patients after meeting the old man, I ...... Nor will it be opposed. After all, the dean had already explained it before the business trip. ”

"Well, then please! If we can, can we go meet her now? I asked eagerly.

Yin Ruiping looked at the eager eyes of the six of us, and finally just stood up silently.

"Let's go! I'll take you to the sixth floor one more time. ”

With that, we followed him out of the office again.

Just in time, when we came to the elevator, the five nurses also happened to come over again.

I looked up at my watch in some surprise.

Exactly ten minutes.

It seems that this Yin Ruiping has decided to let us meet the patient called "old man" from the beginning.

Needless to say, the rest of the process is self-explanatory.

Anyway, three minutes later, we were once again in the sixth floor of the Special Patient Section.

Yin Ruiping looked back at me as he walked forward.

"Since only Mina's meeting with you has been arranged, the 'Old Man', the 'Philosopher', and the 'Keeper of Secrets' are still in their respective wards. As I said earlier, they were all assigned to separate wards because they were worried that they would affect other patients. ”

As he spoke, he paused.

Yin Ruiping pointed to a ward not far in front of him and said, "When she arrives, she will be arranged here." There are also cameras inside, and we will still be watching your every move in the monitoring room as we did just now. You still have that alarm, press the button if there's something, and we'll be over right away. ”

After a brief command, he winked at the nurse.

The nurse immediately walked over, took out the magnetic card, and opened the door.

Then the group retreated into the distance.

I glanced at the other five.

"Let's go! Go in and see this old man. ”

Everyone nodded.

I took a deep breath and pushed open the door to my room.

With a creak, the door was fully opened.

Curious and defensive, we cautiously leaned inside.

"Huh?" My expression changed, and I looked back at my teammates in surprise: "No one? ”

Du Deming's eyes widened in disbelief: "How is it possible?" ”

"It can't be a prison break, right? Hey, have you ever watched One Flew Over the Asylum? Zhang Qiang looked like a gossip.

"With such tight equipment, this shouldn't be the case." Wang Yi silently observed the surroundings and said.

A few people said and walked into the hospital room.

It is a private ward of about 20 square meters, and the room is not too big, so you can see everything at a glance.

Just when a few of us thought that the patient called 'Old Man' had managed to escape from the ward, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of feet in red socks trembling in the corner under the bed.

It turned out to be hiding under the bed!

Feeling a little amused, I silently waved at the others, motioning for them to pay attention to the position under the bed.

Soon, everyone discovered the patient's "hiding place".

After exchanging glances, I quietly walked up to her, crouched down, and spoke in a gentle voice as much as I could.

"Hello, are you Ms. Lai Guiqiong? I'm a reporter for Dark Night magazine, and I have something I want to ask you......"

"Don't talk!!" Before I could finish speaking, an old voice suddenly interrupted me.

The voice was no different from that of a real septuagenarian, and for a moment several of us were a little surprised, and even had some suspicion - is this person really a woman?

After steasing my emotions, I looked at the still trembling feet again.

"Excuse me, are you afraid of something? Why hide under the bed? ”

It was quiet for a long time, and then finally there was a voice with some vicissitudes.

"I'm not hiding under the bed, I'm hiding in a bucket! Don't you know? We all live in buckets! ”
