Chapter 158: Two bowls of water
Hearing Chen Ge's question, the three people in the iron cage behaved differently.
The old man, whose face was stained with oil, licked his fingers without saying a word, 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 thrown ashore.
The middle-aged man's performance was the most abnormal, and he was the only one of the three who kept staring at Chen Ge, staring intently.
"Why are these three people imprisoned in a mental hospital?" Chen Ge first walked to the old man's iron cage, where two plastic bowls were placed in the iron cage made of welded steel bars.
The old man was not afraid when he noticed someone coming, he sat in the center of the cage, and as if no one was around, he sucked the oil stains on his fingers.
"He was the one who was transferred from Ward No. 1." Chen Ge looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything wrong with the old man: "The hair is uneven, it has been shaved with a knife, this hair should be newly grown." ”
Seeing the old man's hair, Chen Ge thought of the hair on the back of the nurse's station cabinet, some of which were black and white, which should belong to the old man in front of him.
"My hair has been shaved once, and it can grow so much, it seems that the old man has been imprisoned here for a long time." At that time, Chen Ge thought that there were four different people who had been shaved by comparing the length of their hair, but there were only three people in front of him.
"There's one more that hasn't been found."
Chen Ge's gaze swept over the woman, and finally stopped at the middle-aged man, his hair was very long, and it was covered in a mess on the top of his head: "This person's hair doesn't seem to have been shaved?" ”
Chen Ge was more careful, shaving his head seemed to be the murderer's bad taste, he was playing with his prey, but why did the murderer let the middle-aged man go alone?
Does a middle-aged man know a murderer? Or is he the murderer?
Chen Ge was taken aback by his own thoughts, at the junction of the first ward and the second ward, Chen Ge saw an unfamiliar face, it was an asymmetrical, somewhat deformed face.
can walk freely in the ward, and also monitor and track himself, the deformed face should be the murderer behind the scenes, but now there is an extra middle-aged man. If you look at it this way, I am afraid that there is more than one murderer who imprisoned the victim.
Chen Ge clenched the tool hammer, and even a worse situation came to mind in his mind.
If all the people in this ward are murderers except themselves.
Of course, this is unlikely.
He pondered for a moment, then finally stopped in front of the woman.
Neither man had any intention of answering his question, so he tried to remove the pillowcase from the woman's mouth to see if he could get any information from her.
"Don't worry, I'm here to save you." Chen Ge shook the lock on the iron cage, there was no key, if he smashed it with a hammer, God knows when he would have to smash it before the three of them could be released.
Women seem to have a natural fear of the living, and as soon as Chen Ge gets close to her, she begins to get sick, whimpering in her mouth, shaking her head and waving her hands, and becoming emotional.
"Calm down, I'm not going to do anything to you." Chen Ge walked around to the woman, and was just 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's very noisy."
Turning his head, Chen Ge saw a pair of gloomy and wary eyes, this middle-aged man didn't know if it was like this to everyone, or just to Chen Ge, he showed a heartfelt disgust, as if what Chen Ge was doing made him extremely disgusted.
"She's noisy?" Chen Ge was not afraid of them talking, he was afraid that they would refuse to communicate.
As long as these people speak, they have the opportunity to get useful information from their words.
"Yes, it's noisy." The middle-aged man speaks harshly, and he seems to feel disgusting even when talking to people.
"Can you tell me why? Was she mentally stimulated? ”
Chen Ge asked two questions in a row, and the middle-aged man kept silent, until Chen Ge put his hand into the iron cage again, ready to take the pillowcase in the woman's mouth, the middle-aged man spit out three words: "I don't know." ”
"What do you know? You don't know this woman, 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 bowls in his cage, and only one plastic bowl in your cage?" ”
"I can tell you, I just hope you don't let that woman speak, she's noisy."
The middle-aged man repeatedly emphasized that women were very noisy, Chen Ge was curious, and on the surface he agreed: "Yes, but the premise is that you didn't lie and deceive me." ”
"I never lie." The man sat in the iron cage and said in a low voice: "The old man is not in good health and has a bad temper, after his wife leaves, he is alone at home, relying on his son to support him." His son is a doctor, and his salary is not high, but he has no problem supporting the two of them. But then the old man didn't know what to think, and with the help of others, he begged for a widow. A woman becomes a daughter-in-law. His son didn't object, but moved out and sent him money every month. ”
"It didn't take long for his son, who was a doctor, to suddenly go crazy and injured several patients in the hospital, supposedly because he was in constant contact with patients."
"His son lost his job, and the patient's family did not give up, and lost all their family money, and the matter calmed down."
"My son is crazy and needs treatment, and the public psychiatric hospital costs three or four thousand a month, which is an unbearable amount for him. At the critical time, the hospital where his son used to work stepped forward and connected his son to the hospital at a much lower cost than the public hospital. ”
"The former doctor became a patient, and my son's personality became more and more eccentric, and he was not cured until the hospital closed down."
"During the time that my son was hospitalized, the old man's own health became worse and worse. When I got older, no one wanted to go out to work, and all the money I earned was posted to the hospital. The new widow also divorced him. ”
He told his son about his predicament, hoping that he would pick himself up and overcome his illness.
"Unfortunately, it didn't take long for his son to bite someone from the same village."
Once he fell ill, his son's desire for destruction became extremely strong. In the end, there was no way, so the old man made an iron cage and locked his son in. ”
This went on for a short time, and the old man fell ill. Not to mention cure, eating has become a problem now. ”
The old man looked at his son, who was sick from time to time in the iron cage, and finally made a decision.
"Every time, he waited until his son was sick to deliver water, and put two bowls outside the cage, one with clean water and one with rat poison."
"Whether it is life or death, he lets his son choose for himself."
The middle-aged man had a cold face, he didn't seem to have said so many words for a long time, and his face was even 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 sentence under the counter of the nurse's station - I will return everything you have done to me.
