You're not going to die. He chuckled and shook his head.

"I said what if, if I really die?"

He was silent this time, his eyes closed, and he didn't speak.

There were patients in the lobby who fought for some reason, and the surroundings became very noisy, and my brain was buzzing and a little uncomfortable.

My brother slowly sat up straight, looked out the window, and said in a calm tone: "If you die, I won't save you, so, protect yourself." ”

I laughed, "You too." ”

It's ironic to think that no one will bother us while sitting here and chatting, and that the mental hospital is safer than the outside.

No one is hunted down here, and no one questions it, no matter what you say, there will always be people who listen and someone who will believe it.

I looked around, and the medical staff were escorting the troublesome patient back to the ward, there was blood on the floor, and I didn't know whose it was.

"Brother, you still haven't told me, you went to find the prisoner, what was the final result?" I watched as the nurse took the mop and wiped the blood off the floor.

"I'm afraid you won't believe me."

"Tell me about it."

"I came to him with my mother's painting and said that the painter was dead, and he was calm, saying that he knew because someone had already told him." My brother said, "I asked him what to do next?" I only found my mother's paintings, not my father's. ”

"He said that although the painter is dead, the shackles on his body have not been opened, and the painter has a friend, who is also one of the four ghosts." When my brother said this, I gradually understood something: "Are you talking about the butcher?" ”

He nodded and said, "Yes, the prisoner told me that if I can help him get rid of the butcher, he will be able to save his mother." ”

"What?" I almost suspected that I had misheard his last sentence, and looked at him suspiciously, asking for a final answer.

"Tu is poor, my mother is not dead, she has never died!" He suddenly turned his head to look at me, his eyes were unusually serious: "When the accident happened, you and I went on different paths, and no one knew what became of the family in the end, but the prisoner told me that he could feel the life in the painting, which is the breath of a living person!" ”

"He told me that my mother was sealed in the painting, but she was not dead, and that if I could get rid of the butcher, the shackles on him would be untied, and when I regained my strength, I could break the artist's painting and rescue my mother!"

"It can't be! It's simply impossible! I stood up in disbelief, my mind a mess, my heart beating and feeling uneasy: "This... This.. What if he's lying to you?! What if he just wants to use us to get rid of the butcher so that he can set himself free? ”

My brother didn't respond to me, but looked out the window, his voice calm and heavy: "Tu Qian, do you want to see her?" ”

I was silent.

"If there really is such an opportunity to get her back, will you seize it?"

"Brother... If I had the chance, I would, but—" I said, and I felt a faint ache in my heart, "but... I just don't know, it's true or not, and what if the criminals are lying to us? ”

"He told us that his mother and father were probably in the hands of the artist, and we thought it was fake, but it turned out that he didn't lie to us." My brother said: "There are many problems that have not been solved now, we don't know why the painter took my mother, and even now we don't know what happened at home, but after so many lives, I only know that only you and I, no matter what, no matter when, we can't forget our original intention." ”

I listened to him and understood the truth of this, better than anyone else, he was right, there was nothing around us, so we were not afraid of losing anything, it was just a life.

"And what are you going to do?" I asked him.

My brother thought for a moment and said, "Help him get rid of the butcher, untie the shackles, and then let him save his mother." ”

"But what if... I mean, what if, he's really lying to us this time? ”

My brother glanced at me, and his eyes gradually became cold: "Then send him back to purgatory!" ”

I laughed, and my brother laughed too, jokingly, but unquestionably.

"Brother, you must promise me one thing."

He looked at me and waited for me to continue.

I laughed and said, "You have to promise me that no matter what, you can't die." ”

He was stunned for a moment, his expression seemed to change a little at that moment, but he quickly recovered, patted me on the head, and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

The bell rang in the hospital to go back to the ward, and we had to get up from our chairs and go back to our rooms.

In the next few days, I had been waiting for Liu Kuaikou and Liu Xin to arrive, and after a full week, just after I thought that I had really become a mentally ill person and no one cared about it, Liu Kuaikou finally came over.

He found us, and when there was no doctor here, he said with a thief's eyebrows: "Second brother and third brother! Do you miss Big Brother? ”

"Don't talk so much, hurry up." My brother's tone was very straightforward, Liu Kuai rolled his eyes, and said in a different tone: "The doctor you asked us to investigate, I checked, this guy does have a problem." ”

"What's the problem?"

"He has a wife, but I haven't seen him!"

"What?" I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, suspecting that I had heard it wrong, and I didn't understand, so my brother slammed the door angrily: "I asked you to investigate that doctor, what are you doing to investigate other people's wives?!" ”

"It's not! Don't worry, listen to me first! Liu quickly wiped his sweat and said, "Who am I?" Career scout! Don't I have any professionalism? ”

"I found that hospital at that time, and as soon as I inquired, I knew who Dr. Zhou was, and he was still very famous in that hospital, and he seemed to be a good doctor."

"And then?" I asked.

"Then I followed him for several days, and I got to know him through the patients and nurses in the hospital, and it turned out to be far beyond my expectations! This guy is a complete pervert! He's mentally ill! ”

"What's going on?" I saw Liu Kuaikou so excited, obviously not normal.

"The first day I followed him was after he got off work, he changed into civilian clothes and drove back, I followed in a car, and then he parked the car at the gate of a community and went in."

"I thought he was home, so I got out of the car and followed him into the community, and found that he entered a building, I thought he was at home, but he ended up in a family's house, and it didn't take long for him to come out again, still carrying two small cages in his hands!"

"Cage?"

"Yes!" Liu Kuaikou gestured and said: "It's the kind of cage for pets, there is a cat in it, or a dog, they are very small, and they look like that, they are only a few months old." ”

"What's wrong with this? Isn't it normal to carry pets in two cages? My brother said next to me.

"Don't worry!" He said: "At that time, he carried the cage and drove away, I didn't have time to get in the car, so I didn't keep up, I lost it on the first day, and then on the second day, or after work, I followed him, guess what happened this time?" He still drove to the neighborhood first, and then after entering, he took out two cages from inside, only this time it was not a cat and a dog, but a rabbit. ”

"He put his things in the car, drove away, I learned well this time, I didn't get out of the car from beginning to end, and as soon as he left, I let the taxi driver follow, and after walking for about 20 minutes, he drove the car into another community."

"I thought this should be his house, so I got out of the car and followed, and after he parked the car, he carried two cages upstairs, and I didn't see him come out after that, I should have gone home, this is the next day."

"On the third day, I noticed that something was wrong, and he went to the neighborhood again, and first came out with two cages, each time with different animals, but they were very small, and then he went home with the cages, and after he went back, he never came out."

"Is there anything strange about that?"

"It's not strange for a day or two, but for a week, he carried two cages out of a community every day, and then went home, counting, there are more than a dozen animals brought home this week, even if it is a pet, you can't say that you change one every day, right? He hasn't been out since he got home, and I've been keeping an eye on it, so all the animals are in his house! ”

"It's a bit weird indeed." When I heard this, I also felt that something was wrong: "It will definitely be inconvenient for a normal person to bring back so many animals in the house, and he won't use them all to keep pets, right?" ”
