Chapter 139: Ward 19 (1)
The lower floor of Block C, where the real prison is located. It smelled strange, like dampness after rain and the smell of dried blood.
The hallway was dimly lit, except for a few dusty light bulbs on either side, and the rusty iron doors smelled of death.
"Teacher Jiang, who are the people at the border here?" Zhao Zizhen used the light of his mobile phone to look at the surrounding environment.
"All of them were prisoners who should have been sentenced to death, killing people and setting fires, doing all kinds of evil." Dr. Jiang replied.
"But...... If there is a serious tendency to violence, why not have targeted destruction surgery? Like Peng Xiuxian? Zhao Zizhen was puzzled.
"Do you think they didn't have surgery? Unfortunately, the surgery caused irreversible brain damage...... "Dr. Jiang sighed.
"So, they're the equivalent of being abandoned by a nursing home, right?" Zhao Zizhen asked.
Dr. Jiang nodded noncommittally and diverted the subject: "There may be someone you are looking for here." ”
Zhao Zizhen walked along the dim corridor, feeling extremely depressed in his heart, and there were constantly mournful cries and dreamy self-talk in his ears.
At the end of the hallway was a solitary cell, with a huddled figure in the corner shuddering. Zhao Zizhen approached the cell and took a picture of it with his mobile phone, his hairs stood on end suddenly, and he asked in disbelief, "Ajie, are you you?" ”
The back in the corner moved, but there was no turning back. Zhao Zizhen raised his voice to try to cause a reaction from the people inside: "You are Liu Yijie, right?" I'm Zhao Zizhen! ”
The people in the prison finally reacted, and slowly looked back at him. Zhao Zizhen was so frightened that he took half a step back: "You, how did you become like this?" ”
The man in front of him was covered with scars on the top of his head, only a few strands of hair remained, his cheeks were so thin that he was no longer human, his eyes were sunken, the corners of his mouth were oozing blood, and his hands and feet were chained.
The man stared at Zhao Zizhen's face for a long time, his Adam's apple rolled, and he spit out a word from his mouth: "Run!" ”
Zhao Zizhen was a little surprised, and looked back at the road when he came, but he was no longer in sight of Dr. Jiang. He didn't care about where Dr. Jiang had gone at the moment, grabbed the railing with both hands, and asked anxiously, "Applejack, tell me what happened to you?" ”
The monster-like ugly man in the prison let out a beastly whining: "Run! Run! It seemed that he could no longer speak a complete sentence, and could only repeat the word "run" over and over again.
Zhao Zizhen didn't know why, but he was still a little flustered. He asked again, "Applejack, do you know a man named Liu Kangyu?" ”
The man put away the excited look on his face, turned his face away and stopped looking at him, and Ren Zhao Zizhen didn't react no matter how he asked.
"This is the one you're looking for?" I don't know when Dr. Jiang silently appeared behind him and asked.
Zhao Zizhen shook his head and said, "He is my former colleague." ”
"Your colleague is being locked up here? What's going on? Dr. Jiang asked in surprise.
Zhao Zizhen walked towards the exit: "Teacher Jiang, I have an idea in my heart......"
Doctor Jiang hurriedly followed: "Go out and say, it's uncomfortable here." ”
Walking out of the negative floor, the two of them have a feeling of seeing the light of day again.
"Tell me, what do you think?" Dr. Jiang took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Zizhen.
"I guess Liu Kangyu may have died here......" Zhao Zizhen lit a cigarette and took a puff, "You also saw the situation in the prison just now, and the prisoners in it who were left alone seem to be not far from death." ”
"If he dies here, his death certificate should be in the files of the recuperation center." Dr. Jiang said.
"Teacher Jiang, can I ask you to check the file?" Zhao Zizhen asked earnestly.
Doctor Jiang's face was embarrassed: "I don't have the authority of the archives, but I can go and ask the dean for accommodation." It's just that I may have to tell you the truth about your situation. ”
Zhao Zizhen replied: "If you can find the truth, it doesn't hurt to tell him these things." ”
"Then you go back and wait for my news, and stop running around." Dr. Jiang said, and the two went their separate ways.
Zhao Zizhen returned to his room, rubbed his temples, and suddenly felt exhausted. Outside the window, it was getting dark, and he slowly fell asleep against the head of the bed.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Zizhen seemed to have a nightmare, his mouth made a muffled sound, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Star Swirl is about to end the possession when she hears someone open the door and enter.
Dr. Jiang walked in lightly and stood on the edge of the bed and stared at Zhao Zizhen with a strange expression on his face for a while. Star Swirl wonders why he has the key to this room.
Zhao Zi really felt that he was being watched, and he gradually woke up after a while. "Teacher Jiang, why do you ......" His consciousness was still a little blurred, and he looked at the person in front of him inexplicably.
"Oh, the door is unlocked, I'll just come in and not disturb your sleep, right?" Dr. Chiang sat down along the edge of the bed.
Zhao Zizhen waved his hand: "I didn't want to sleep, I don't know what's going on, I suddenly feel tired." ”
"By the way, I went to the dean and asked." "He specifically investigated the list of all the patients who had been admitted to the nursing home in the past two years, and there was no one named Liu Kangyu." ”
Zhao Zizhen sat up straight and said, "Aren't there any dead patients?" ”
Doctor Jiang shook his head and said, "No." ”
"This ...... That's impossible! There will be no fakes in my survey channels! Zhao Zizhen became emotional, and his hands kept waving in the air.
"Here's a list of all the patients in Zone C." Dr. Jiang took out a brown paper bag and handed it to Zhao Zizhen.
Zhao Zizhen took it and immediately opened it, and there was a thick stack of lists inside, and he began to read it carefully. It wasn't until Zhao Zizhen finished reading the last page of the list that he asked, "Are all the patients on it?" Including those in prison? ”
Doctor Jiang nodded: "If it weren't for the relationship between our hospital and the nursing center, this list would never have been shown to me." ”
"No, there must be something wrong with that." Zhao Zizhen said, "Maybe they are hiding the cause of death of some patients, and Liu Kangyu is among them?" ”
"This ...... There should be no such possibility, even the condemned prisoners have archives here. Zizhen, don't be too sharp. Dr. Jiang looked at Zhao Zizhen, speechless for his paranoia.
"Wait......" Zhao Zizhen's gaze fell on the stack of paper in his hand, "There are only eighteen rooms on the negative floor of Area C recorded above, but I obviously saw room No. 19 below just now." ”
"Could it be that you're mistaken?" Dr. Jiang asked.
"There's no way there's anything wrong with that, because that one is the only room that is available."
