There was a faint stench wafting through the air, and it seemed that the closer you got to Ward 3, the stronger the smell became.

The corridor between the second and third wards was locked, and an iron door separated the two wards.

Through the gap in the iron door, you can vaguely see the scene in the third ward, the tables and chairs are overturned, a large pile of bedding is thrown in the corridor, and what is even stranger is that the bottom of the bedding is bulging, as if it is covered with something.

Chen Ge stood next to the rusty iron door, his eyes staring at the keyhole on the iron door, he had been on the third floor for a while.

"Double-sided cylinder?"

Most of the passage doors of psychiatric hospitals are double-sided lock cylinders, and in case of emergency, no matter which side of the iron gate you stand on, the iron door can be locked, prohibiting internal and external passage, and blocking a certain area.

Originally, this was just a very inconspicuous point, but it attracted Chen Ge's attention.

He took out the key left by Wang Haiming from his personal pocket and tried it on the keyhole.

It may be because it has not been maintained for a long time, and the keyhole has rusted and the key cannot be plugged in at all.

"Looks like I'm thinking too much, this key isn't the key to the passage door." Comparing the tooth height and pitch of the keyhole and the key, Chen Ge put Wang Haiming's key away again.

When he entered the rehabilitation center, he noticed that most of the ward doors had a single-sided lock cylinder, and the keyhole was so small that the key could not be stuffed into it at all.

"The key was brought out by Wang Haiming from the third ward, and the door corresponding to the key may be in the third ward. Let's make a bold guess, there are only nine patients in the third ward, will the patient in room 3 who disappeared be Wang Haiming? ”

Chen Ge couldn't be sure of his guess, if it was Wang Haiming, the hospital should have a discharge record, but Dr. Gao checked all the information, and there was no information about Ward 3.

"Just one Wang Haiming, it shouldn't be worthy of letting the hospital destroy all the materials and records."

The water in this ward is a bit deep, Chen Ge is actually not too interested in what happened here five years ago, he just wants to find the clues left by his parents and the way to close the "door".

Entering the corridor on the third floor, Chen Ge took a flashlight and walked cautiously past the wards.

"Could the person I saw in the middle of the corridor just now be hiding in a certain room?"

Coming to the end of the corridor on the third floor, Chen Ge stopped at the door of a room with no known purpose.

There was a strong musty smell in the room, and the door was different from the other wards, with a large brand new lock.

"There is no rust on the lock, this lock is the same as the lock on the door of the first ward, it is newly installed." Chen Ge took out Wang Haiming's key and tried it, but he still couldn't open it.

He glanced back at the dark hallway, and when he was sure there was no one nearby, he raised his hammer and pried the lock straight through the door.

"Luckily, it's a wooden door, and if it is replaced by an iron door, I may not be able to get in."

Pushing the door, a strong musty smell hit my face, and a mountain of hospital gowns and bed sheets and bedding were piled up in the room.

"This is supposed to be the laundry room in the second ward." Chen Ge stood up straight, and the camera on his chest recorded everything, including the words he spoke.

In danger, he didn't dare to relax to communicate with his friends, but just stood in his own perspective and said what he thought and saw, just like he was making a real horror documentary.

The musty smell in the laundry room diluted the stench of the ward itself, and the air in the room felt viscous and uncomfortable.

Enduring the discomfort, Chen Ge entered it.

The room was large, with a few washing machines and special disinfection equipment against the wall, and all that was left was a mountain of dirty laundry and moldy and smelly sheets and bedding.

"This room doesn't look like much, so why lock it?" Chen Ge focused his gaze on the large pile of dirty clothes, and he forcibly endured the unpleasant smell and used a tool hammer to pick open the bedding outside.

"I always feel like there's something in there." Chen Ge sped up his movements, and as he lifted a stained coat, the tool hammer hit the iron bar, making a crisp sound.

"Iron cage?" He removed the quilt that had been laid on it, and the image in front of him made his heart tremble.

Hidden under the futon is an iron cage containing a young woman with a shaved head!

With a moldy pillowcase stuffed in her mouth and her hands tied to the iron cage, the woman's mental state was not too stable, looking at Chen Ge shaking her head desperately, waving her hands and kicking the cage outwards with her feet.

Chen Ge didn't react for a while, he didn't expect to find a living person under a large pile of dirty clothes.

The live broadcast room also exploded at this time, the barrage swiped the screen, and even because of the number of speakers, even the live broadcast screen was a little stuck.

Chen Ge quietly stepped back, he was still very cautious, closed the door first, and then pushed the washing machine by the wall behind the door.

He was afraid of being attacked from behind, so he blocked the door before he dared to approach the iron cage.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" As soon as Chen Ge approached, the woman in the cage began to resist desperately, unable to communicate at all.

"There are no wounds on her body, no grease stains on her lips, this woman was not transferred from the iron cage of the first ward, there may be other people around."

Chen Ge ripped off the futon next to him again, and there were three iron cages hidden in this stench.

The three iron cages are placed in the finished characters, just like the three wards of the rehabilitation center.

The woman was in the middle, and to her left was an old man with uneven hair, who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, skinny, with grease stains on his mouth and fingers; To the right of the woman was a middle-aged man with pale skin who seemed to have not seen the sun for a long time, and when this person saw Chen Ge come in, his eyes were very strange, intertwined with excitement, disgust, and fear.

"Three?"

Things were beyond Chen Ge's expectations, his face was cloudy, and thoughts popped up in his mind.

Holding the tool hammer tightly, Chen Ge kept a certain distance from the three iron cages.

If you encounter three strangers in a dangerous environment, the safest thing to do is not to believe what they say and not to approach them, because it is likely that the murderer is hiding among them.

Chen Ge walked around them, the cage was not big, it was not for people at all, and the living people got into it, and they couldn't even turn around.

"Three iron cages, only the woman's hands and feet are restricted, and her mouth is also gagged." There are more and more questions, if all three people are victims, why is it that the woman with the least strength is the one who is controlled to act?

The old man on the left and the middle-aged man on the right, one was stupid and sluggish, and the other had an unusually rich facial expression, neither of them was restrained hands and feet, but no one opened their mouths for help, so they shrank in the iron cage and looked at Chen Ge.

Compared with the live broadcast room of the barrage, Chen Ge was extremely calm, and he stood in front of the three iron cages with a tool hammer in his hand: "How long have you been locked up here?" ”
