Chapter 16: The Mystery of Life
The brass object that fell from the girl's body was a sign resembling identification.
It's almost two fingers wide and nearly a finger long.
The nameplate is engraved with a moire-like pattern, and the word "013" is engraved in the center.
If I'm not mistaken, that number should be her number.
013, doesn't that mean patient 13?
If this was just an ordinary ID number card, Chen Xian would definitely not be so surprised, the reason why he showed an unbelievable expression was because ...... He also has one such brand.
Shape, texture, numbering format, font size, exactly the same.
The only thing that is different from this bronze medal is the numbering.
The number on his sign was "000".
"This sign is yours?"
Chen Xian stared at the girl intently, the bloodshot in his eyes gradually became obvious, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into an extremely anxious state, and the pace of his speech was very fast and very urgent.
"Where did this sign come from?? Who gave it to you?? ”
Perhaps frightened by the bloodshot Chen Xian, the girl looked at him blankly and said nothing.
Chen Xian picked up the metal number plate on the ground, brought it to the girl and motioned her to look at it carefully, wanting her to give her an exact answer, but the girl kept talking in a daze, as if she couldn't understand Chen Xian's words, and didn't react at all.
After taking a few deep breaths, Chen Xian gradually calmed down.
"I'm sorry, I may have scared you just now......" Chen Xian clenched the metal card in his hand, his eyes became a little complicated, and he didn't care if the girl could understand his words, and explained in a soft voice, "The origin of this brand is very important to me, so I'm a little excited......"
This kind of copper metal plate with few characteristics and only a numbered number may not mean much to ordinary people, even if it is placed at home, it is a piece of broken copper and iron, but for Chen Xian..... It's about his background!
Among those who know Chen Xian, the vast majority only know that Chen Xian is a native of Ningchuan City, his parents died very early, and he was brought up by his grandfather since he was a child.
But only a few people know that Chen Xian is actually an adopted abandoned baby.
The grandfather who raised Chen Xian was named Chen Ba, and he was a very wealthy old man who liked to travel.
Twenty-two years ago, in July, he swam to the coastal areas of Guangdong Province at the foot of a fishing village, and it is said that he wanted to experience the life of fishermen in the coastal areas, so he stayed in the fishing village for nearly a month before leaving.
But just as he was about to leave, a sudden typhoon disrupted his plans.
Strong winds, heavy rain, thunderstorms...... Extreme weather has tormented the fishing village.
When the sun rose the next day, the typhoon had passed through Zhanjiang, the fishing village stopped and the rain ushered in a rare calm, and the old man also changed into clean clothes again, packed his luggage and prepared to go to Guangzhou.
The road to the bus station is a bit long, with a trail along the pier in the fishing village, which takes about two hours to hike without any means of transport.
Chen Xian was picked up by the old man in the process.
At that time, Chen Ba was walking on the edge of the pier when he suddenly saw something like a foam board on the sea, which was rolling in the waves with the salty and wet sea breeze, and was constantly submerged by the waves and refloated.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the old man faintly heard the cry of a baby coming from the foam board.
"Your life is great...... It's only so young that you know that it's better to live than to die......" On Chen Xian's eighteenth birthday, Chen Ba wiped his mouth after eating the cake, and sighed to Chen Xian, "At that time, your hands were not as big as a cat's paws, but the strength was a little surprisingly big, we rescued you ashore, and you were still dragging the foam board, and it took a lot of effort to let you let go of your hands......"
At that time, Chen Xian was just a newborn baby in swaddling clothes, without any warmth measures on his body, not even a cloth to wrap his body, and was thrown into a foam pile like garbage and drifted with the waves.
After Chen Ba rescued the child ashore, he immediately contacted the local authorities and began to search for Chen Xian's biological parents, because at first he thought it was a natural or man-made disaster, but it turned out that Chen Xian was an abandoned baby.
He was simply thrown into the rough sea by his parents.
That's all.
When Chen Ba picked him up, he couldn't find the slightest clue related to his background, and the only thing that could be related to his background was the strange metal card that came out of the foam pile.
Even Chen Ba suspected that the sign had nothing to do with Chen Xian, but just happened to be garbage washed on the foam board after the typhoon, which had no practical significance, but he still kept the sign and handed it over to him when Chen Xian became an adult.
Over the years, Chen Xian has marked the metal plate as important information, and has been quietly looking for any clues about this metal plate, but to no avail.
To this day he saw the girl's metal plate......
Except for the difference in number, the other features are exactly the same as their own brand!
Could this be a coincidence?
Chen Xian was a little puzzled, but quickly denied this idea, because there could be such a coincidence in this world, if the "000" brand was related to his life experience, then would the girl in front of him be related to himself?
If there is a connection, then it can be explained when she sees her and feels familiar, as for what kind of association it will be...... We can't say for sure yet.
"Huh?"
The girl suddenly came to Chen Xian's side and tilted her head to look at him, as if she was curious about what was wrong with Chen Xian, why did she suddenly stop talking?
Seeing that Chen Xian was still silent, the girl tentatively tugged at his arm.
"It's a bit of a hassle."
Chen Xian suddenly spoke, frowned at the girl, and then looked back at Huo Fatzi who was in a coma, and the expression on his face gradually became heavy.
He only has one idea now, which is to take the girl out of here, but at the same time he is a little conflicted in his heart, because he doesn't know if he is right or wrong to do this, and will it be a little too selfish to take the girl away?
After all, in this case, I was just a temporary worker who came to help.
According to the rules of the industry, everything in this mental hospital, including people, cannot be taken away by oneself.
Because these are all clues that may be related to the case, even if it has not yet been determined whether it will be helpful to the case, it must be handed over to the department to deal with, but once this happens, things will become very troublesome.
Regardless of the girl's identity, participant or victim, she will be sent to the headquarters in the capital for investigation, and it will be difficult to contact her at that time.
Or do you want to cooperate with Huo Fatzi and ask them to help find clues from the girl?
But soon Chen Xian denied this idea, because Chen Ba once explained to him that his body was different from ordinary people, and it was also different from ordinary congenital aliens, so there was a relatively high probability that his biological parents were also aliens, and there might be a reason for abandoning him.
Because of this, Chen Xian's background is likely to be more complicated than imagined, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, such as looking for his biological parents, such things must be hidden from others, and must not be too public.
The Secret Bureau is not an impermeable wall, at least in these low-level secrecy matters, their mouths are not so tight, if the news of their own search for their parents spreads......
Absolutely not.
Chen Xian gritted his teeth, this matter must not be mixed up with the secret bureau.
The only option now is to take the girl away first, and then hand her over to the Secret Bureau after digging up clues, so that there is no loss to anyone.
"That's all it can be." Chen Xian sighed.
Before entering the psychiatric hospital for investigation, Chen Xian walked around the hospital a few times, although he originally wanted to see the distribution of spirits here, but he also unconsciously remembered some other information.
For example, what is the total number of investigators who are watching outside, how many are equipped with weapons and ammunition, the specific distribution and the areas they are responsible for patrolling.....
This kind of information is very mixed together, and it is very difficult for anyone to remember it in a short time and unconsciously, but Chen Xian is not, his memory is notoriously terrible in college.
"There are thirteen mobile patrol investigators to the north..... Six of them were armed with guns..... Three fixed sentry posts...... There are eleven mobile patrolmen in the south..... Among them, there are nine people with guns......"
Chen Xian muttered to himself, his eyes became trance-like, and he was recalling the pictures before entering the mental hospital, and countless information began to intertwine and manifest in his mind, as if condensed into visible text data.
The people who went out on this mission were all members of the Investigation Department, and the combat members were very few, and the vast majority of them were investigators who were ordered to keep an eye on them in danger, and there were very few who could really exert their combat effectiveness.
If he wanted to take her out in this situation, the success rate should be ninety percent, and it would be almost impossible for those investigators to stop him, and it would be difficult to keep people even if he used a gun, but if he wanted not to be discovered by the people who were watching, he would leave the psychiatric hospital silently...... The success rate is almost zero.
Is there any way to get out in this situation?
Chen Xian tried his best to think about it, feeling a little headache, but before he could come up with a countermeasure, the girl suddenly screamed twice and ran out like a hot wheel.
When Chen Xian subconsciously caught up, the girl had already stopped by the black coffin in the northeast corner, and began to wave her arms to signal Chen Xian to hurry over.
The dark coffin was the most eye-catching thing in this room, Chen Xian had discovered it very early, and he had originally planned to take Huo Fatzi over to take a look, but looking at the current situation......
The fat man won't wake up for a while.
The closer he got to the coffin, the more doubts in Chen Xian's eyes became, because he gradually discovered that this thing was not a coffin, but just a large utensil with a silhouette similar to a coffin.
If you really want to compare it, it is more like a large water tank for fish farming.
It is about 240 centimeters long and 80 centimeters wide, and there are many unknown black liquids inside.
There is no coffin lid on the top, it is completely open, and there are six transparent rubber tubes on both sides of the edge, which gives people a very strange feeling.
Seeing Chen Xian coming over, the girl looked very happy, screamed, and climbed in familiarly.
As soon as the girl climbed in, a lot of black water splashed out of the tank, which smelled strange of Chinese medicine, and the six strange rubber tubes also trembled, as if some unknown device had suddenly activated, and a low, strange mechanical roar came from the bottom.
Just when Chen Xian was surprised by this change, the girl suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm and pulled him into this strange and strange "water tank".
