Chapter VII
"......" Lian Yan woke up violently. In my ears was my own messy breathing, and my heart was pounding violently, causing a burst of echo in the cochlea.
"Are you alright?"
Lian Yu felt Wen Tingyan pat him gently.
"It's fine."
"Drink some water."
Lian Yu took the water glass, but only took a shallow sip and put it down.
The room was quiet, there was no music, Wen Tingyan opened the window for ventilation, and Lian Yu could hear the bakery's promotional announcements coming from afar on the street.
"What time is it?" Lian Yu untied the device and stood up. "How long did I sleep?"
"An hour or so." Wen Tingyan looked at Lian Yan, Lian Yan's face was very pale, his lips were dry, and there was fine sweat on his forehead, he took out a few tissues and handed them to Lian Yan.
"Thank you."
"Can you go?"
"Yes." Lian Yu followed Wen Tingyan back to the office, the two sat facing each other again, and Lian Yu asked him, "What is the result?" ”
"Not ideal." Wen Tingyan leaned back in his chair: "Your nerves are so tense that you have barely entered a hypnotic state. ”
"Hypnosis failed?" Lian Yu looked calm, but there was a little tiredness between his eyebrows.
"Not entirely."
Wen Tingyan clicked on the player on the computer screen, at first it was a piece of music, Lian Yu heard that it was not "Moonlight Sonata", then there was a long silence, and after about twenty minutes, a low, slightly hoarse voice rang out, "...... Race ......"
Lian Yu had a faint premonition, and sure enough, five minutes later, he said again: "Sai Tianbao." ”
This time the words were very clear, but after that, there was a long silence. Wen Tingyan observed Lian Rong's reaction in the video, and compared Lian Yan's expression in front of him. After hearing those three words, Lian Yan's muscles around his eyes trembled slightly. The hour-long footage was over, and the name was repeated three times, and nothing else.
Wen Tingyan copied the video into a new USB flash drive and handed it to Lian Yan before he asked him: "Who is 'Sai Tianbao'?" ”
Lian Yu hesitated and shook his head, "It should be the relevant person of the mission at that time." ”
"Can't remember?"
"Nope."
"Okay." Wen Tingyan was also a little tired, "You go back and rest today, and let's try again after a while." ”
"Let's talk about it." Lian Yu stood up, took his things, refused Wen Tingyan's kindness to send him back, and left the psychiatric department alone.
Going down to the first floor, Lian Yu did not leave the hospital immediately, but walked into the toilet, and in the cubicle, took out a voice recorder hidden in his clothes.
The voice recorder is very thin, and the plug at the tail can match the charging port of the phone. After exporting the recording, Lian Yu took out his headphones and listened attentively.
At first, the music and more than twenty minutes of silence were the same, but at the twenty-sixth minute, after he called out Sai Tianbao's name, what he heard began to be inconsistent with what Wen Tingyan was playing.
“...... Contest...... Saitianbao ......"
Wen Tingyan's voice appeared in the recording: "Who is Sai Tianbao?" ”
The "......" did not answer.
On the fifth floor, in the office of the director of the psychiatric department, Wen Tingyan was still sitting in front of the computer, and he clicked on another folder, and there was only one video in it - the full version of the video when Lian Yu was hypnotized. This time, he looked more carefully, not missing any expression on Lian Yan's face, any change in emotion - the fluctuations of heart rate and the dynamics of brain waves were all within his observation range.
After he asked who Sai Tianbao was, Lian Yu was obviously still in a state of moderate hypnosis, and resisted his words, so he was silent, Wen Tingyan added some sesame oil to the sleep incense, and after waiting for ten minutes, he tried to speak:
"What's your name?"
"Lian Yu." Lian Yu's eyes were closed, his limbs relaxed, but his words were very clear.
"Remember your profession?"
"Detective ......"
"How many family members do you have?"
"Three ......" Here, Lian Yu's reaction was a little slow, his brows furrowed, and his heart rate gradually increased, "Mom, brother, and ...... Father. ”
"What's Mommy's name?"
"Lin Shang."
"Where's my brother?"
"Lian Xu."
Wen Tingyan on the screen slowly approached Lian Rong, and Wen Tingyan outside the screen also held his breath. "When was the last time I saw Lian Xu?"
“...... Two years ago, in March, the 11th ......"
Wen Tingyan's breath suffocated, "Where?" ”
"Guohua Commerce and Trade ......"
Two years ago, on March 11, Guohua Commerce and Trade was the time and place when Lian Rong was in a car accident when he went out to the police. Wen Tingyan licked his dry lips and continued to look down, but he knew that Lian Yan had fallen into a deep sleep for half an hour after that, and did not respond to his words again.
In the bathroom on the first floor, Lian Yu took off his headphones almost at the same time as Wen Tingyan upstairs. There are far more hidden secrets behind the car accident than Lian Yu imagined, but when he heard Lian Xu's name, Lian Yu was not a little surprised, as if he had expected this a long time ago.
Sai Tianbao - Missing brother - Car accident - Memory loss -
Lian Yu pieced together clues little by little, and Wen Tingyan - why did he hide it? What was his purpose?
"Are you constipated?"
Lian Yu restrained his fist that was almost swung out, "Can you say hello in advance the next time you appear?" ”
"How do you say hello?" Sai Tianbao pouted, "I can't control whether it's good or not." ”
Lian Yu sighed lightly, but Sai Tianbao's mood was very brisk: "I see that you have been sitting here for several minutes, and you don't take off your pants...... You're very pale, aren't you feeling well? ”
"It's fine." Lian Yu waved his hand, put away the voice recorder and headphones, "I was taken aback by you." ”
"You should get used to it, too." The toilet cubicle was too narrow, and Sai Tianbao was almost talking in Lian Yan's ear, so Lian Yan had no choice but to tilt his head back and point to the front: "Go out and wait for me, and besides, next time you're still in the toilet or something, you'd better make a noise first." ”
Sai Tianbao said: "I know, I know." He turned around and floated out of the compartment, and then slammed back again, "Lian Lian Lian! There's someone out there! ”
"What?" Lian Yu subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Someone!" Sai Tianbao stared at the foot under the door panel, "It's right outside the door!" Standing in front of the door panel, as soon as I went out, I was face to face! ”
“......”
Lian Yu was blind, and his other senses were more acute, and there were always people coming and going in the men's bathroom, but Lian Yu didn't notice footsteps stopping in front of his cubicle.
"Is he going to the bathroom?" Sai Tianbao still had palpitations, and just now he passed through the door panel and put his face to face with the other party.
"No, he didn't knock." Lian Yu made a lip shape.
Who is the other party? How long have you been standing? Lian Yu took out the blind cane from his bag, opened the blind cane and held it in his hand, and got ready.
"Let's go out and see who it is."
Sai Tianbao did as he was told, but he didn't go out completely, he just poked his head out of the door and said while observing: "Wearing a hospital gown, this is a hospital?" ”
"Hmm." Lian Yu replied in a low voice, urging Sai Tianbao to continue.
"Are you sick?"
"I'm fine, you concentrate first and take a good look at the person outside." Lian Yan suppressed his throat, a little impatient.
"Okay, you can't see it yourself, of course I can ......only come to see it," Sai Tianbao muttered, he didn't like places like the hospital, and his emotions were dissatisfied, but he still cared about Lian Yan: "It's really okay?" ”
"It's fine."
Sai Tianbao leaned out of the cubicle with half of his body and stared at the patient's eyes, the patient's expression was equally hollow, but it was different from Lian Yan's bleakness, and there seemed to be an unusual undercurrent. "Shorter than you, a little fat, about forty years old, probably a patient, with a needle on the back of his hand. Something wasn't quite right in his eyes......"
"What do you mean?"
Sai Tianbao did not answer immediately.
At this time, a medical staff walked in from outside, stood still in front of the urinal, caught a glimpse of the patient in the afterglow, and then looked at the empty cubicle on the side, as if he also felt that the patient was strange, and asked, "This patient, do you need help?" ”
Lian Yi held his breath and waited for the patient's answer, but there was only a suffocating silence.
The patient didn't look at the man at all, as if he hadn't heard the question, and his eyes were fixed on the door of the cubicle in front of him without blinking. The medical worker sensed that something was wrong, quickly put on his pants and walked out, and after a while, he could hear the footsteps of the man "stepping" from near and far and from far and near, accompanied by the footsteps of several people, and stopped outside the bathroom.
"Looks like it's the patient......"
"Go in for a while, appease first, and keep the coercive means......"
The sound of discussion outside came in, Sai Tianbao turned his head and wanted to say, "This person seems to be mentally abnormal", the cold patient suddenly twitched, twisted his head, and looked back at a strange angle, with a sound of "bang", the door of the bathroom suddenly closed by itself, and even locked it with a "click".
Sai Tianbao looked at the self-locking door, speechless in surprise. Lian Yan in the cubicle couldn't see what was going on, and when he heard the people outside advising the patient not to think about it, and that the money could be raised slowly, he deduced that this person was forced into a desperate way by the high medical bills. Lian Yu breathed a sigh of relief, put down the blind cane, secretly laughed at his nervousness, and laughed at himself for letting him meet anything.
Sai Tianbao's attitude was completely different from Lian Yan, he didn't care what the people outside the door were shouting, his nerves were tense like strings, and his expression was very serious. In an instant, he made eye contact with the patient, and suddenly had a guess in his heart. He took a step back, "This person is not normal, you retreat to the corner, and I will deal with it." ”
Before Lian Yu could ask, he only heard a crisp sound of "Peng" - the light bulb exploded. Like a turbulent air flow suddenly swirling up, there was a familiar sense of suffocation in the air, after meeting Sai Tianbao in the park for the first time, Lian Yu once again felt the violent pressure from his eyes, and this time he also felt the change in Sai Tianbao's mood more obviously and clearly-
It's like a bow, with an arrow on the string, ready to fire.
Lian Yu didn't know where Sai Tianbao's hostility came from, but he couldn't hide in a corner and hand everything over to Sai Tianbao. The adrenaline was pumping, and Lian Yi re-raised his cane, ready to meet the enemy. And what about Saitianbao? His forehead was covered with cold sweat, and a powerful energy very similar to him erupted from the patient's body, and what made Sai Tianbao's heart even more shocking was that the patient looked at him.
It's not a delusion, this strange patient can actually see him! But Sai Tianbao was not a little happy, the heavier the oppression exuded by the patient, the stronger his hostility, between the collision of the two phases, the light bulbs, the decorative paintings hanging on the wall, followed by the mirrors, and the tiles on the wall, little by little, one by one, exploded, like the movement of a machine gun sweeping, people were terrified to hear.
Lian Yu felt as if there was an engine roaring in his brain, and the stronger and stronger pressure squeezed his brain, Lian Yu called out to Sai Tianbao, but Sai Tianbao did not respond, he had to endure the discomfort, turned the latch, and slammed the door open-
