Lu Ran has been in a psychiatric hospital for nearly two years.

Today, two police detectives from neighboring provinces came to visit Lu Ran...... The purpose is very simple, that is, to understand the 'criminal motives' of the perverted murderer, and I hope to learn something empirical from Lu Ran.

"Thank you."

When the two detectives retreated, they specially gave Lu Ran a special book - "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", which happened to be the book that Lu Ran wanted to read.

Because life in a psychiatric hospital is still relatively boring, and the police occasionally come to the door to talk to him...... gradually made Lu Ran like 'solving cases', and it happened that he could learn some skills to solve cases through this kind of detective books.

It seems that the detective was quite satisfied with today's conversation, so he said a few kind words in front of the director of the mental hospital, so that today's Lu Ran was given the permission to move freely throughout the day, but only in the [activity room].

Lu Ran happened to spend this day studying the new book.

The activity room is a sealed area for the free movement of the mentally ill, equipped with certain entertainment facilities, similar to the activity hall of a nursing home.

Lu Ran found a quiet corner alone and took out "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes".

Who knows, this hardcover version of the book is actually accompanied by exquisite illustrations to introduce the characters in the book.

'Sherlock' in a trench coat with a newsboy hat. When Sherlock Holmes' character illustration was displayed in front of Lu Ran.

Suddenly, a similar figure flashed through Lu Ran's mind, it was a Chinese man in the same costume, but Lu Ran couldn't remember this person's appearance at all.

Yan ...... Yes! It hurts! ”

Lu Ran barely remembered a word, almost forgetting who this person who was dressed in the same way as Sherlock Holmes was...... But I vaguely feel that this person has a significant connection with himself.

Just when Lu Ran was lying on the table for a short rest due to a headache.

Lu Ran, who raised his head again, was startled.

In the originally empty reading room, there was an extra girl wearing the uniform of No. 9 Middle School in the corner

"You ......"

Lu Ran clearly remembered in his mind that before he was arrested for killing the driver, he had also seen this girl in school uniform on the bus he was riding...... In addition, in the aisle outside the courtroom, the girl also appeared.

"Who are you?"

Because the girl had her back to Lu Ran, she couldn't see her appearance.

The other party seemed to be able to hear Lu Ran's question, and his body slowly turned, just as the girl's face was about to turn......

Zizizizi!

The radio in the [activity room] first crossed the sound of electricity, followed by the play of an earthy song "Desert Camel".

"What a girlfriend legend, what kind of noodles forgot to ask for buns, only the braised pork is roasted in oil."

"This song...... Have I heard it somewhere? ”

The continuous stimulation made a picture suddenly flash in Lu Ran's mind.

Lu Ran walked in the wooden corridor of the underground area, and the leader was a detective surnamed 'Yan' dressed as Sherlock Holmes.

When passing by a certain cubicle, I heard this earthy singing voice from behind the wooden door that was not very soundproofed.

"Basement...... Office, what's going on? Why should I go there?! ”

Just when Lu Ran felt a slight headache, but he was trying his best to awaken the vague memory in his mind, a slender and warm palm landed on his cheek.

"What are you thinking, honey?"

Han Shiwan happened to arrive, and her gentle voice and physical contact interrupted Lu Ran's memories.

It's just that the picture of walking on the underground passage has always lingered in Lu Ran's mind...... Lu Ran didn't pay much attention to Han Shiwan because of this, holding his head in his hands and burying it in the book.

"Lu Ran, wait a while and say hello to your girlfriend, it's time for medication."

I don't know if it's a coincidence or a deliberate one.

It just so happened that when Lu Ran was trying to remember some memories, all kinds of external interference factors came.

Once you take this pill for psychosis, the pain sensation in the brain will also diminish rapidly...... However, it can also fall into a state of 'idiocy' for a period of time.

Unable to think for himself, he just likes to sit still.

However, the nurse who came to give Lu Ran medicine had never seen it before.

The head nurse has a beautiful loli face, is short in stature, and is quite cute.

If you want to score, Lu Ran can give 9 points.

"Medication ......"

When Lu Ran took the white round pill, he stared at Nurse Lori's delicate cheeks up close, and found a peculiar appearance feature.

"Scarred ......"

On the left and right cheeks of this Lori nurse, there are three scars that look like fish gills...... Familiar, an incomparably familiar feeling echoed in Lu Ran's mind.

Lu Ran was 100% sure that he seemed to have seen this nurse somewhere.

Compared with the attending doctor [Joseph], this new nurse made Lu Ran feel more familiar.

"Little ...... Small fish. ”

Lu Ran couldn't help but say two words.

"Are you doing it again? My name is Li Xiaoyu, and I am not a small fish...... Take your medicine quickly. ”

"Okay."

Lu Ran took the pill very 'well-behaved', and his original painful expression disappeared immediately...... Just like that, he and Han Shiwan depended together, sitting quietly and not moving.

Not long after the nurse with a gill-like scar on her face left, Lu Ran quickly got up and went to the bathroom.

In general, any area in a psychiatric hospital needs to be strictly monitored 24 hours a day.

Therefore, even the toilet door on each floor will be guarded by staff in shifts...... If a patient is found to have been in the bathroom for too long, they will be forcibly ejected.

"Brother Ran! Good spirits. ”

At present, standing guard at the door of the toilet is the nurse Liu Qiang.

In the past two years, he has slowly become familiar with Lu Ran, especially when he heard that Lu Ran can use his own experience to help the police solve the case, and this Liu Qiang is also known as 'Brother Ran'.

Liu Qiang...... Liu Mian......"

It's a little strange, Liu Qiang, who Lu Ran can see every day, didn't feel anything abnormal before.

From the current point of view, Liu Qiang's appearance and appearance seem to be similar to a high school friend, with a chubby and short body and a joyful appearance.

"Brother Liu Qiang, the police from other provinces just gave me a copy of "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", I'm not very interested! I remember that you especially like detective novels, and I sent you! ”

"Wow! Limited Hardcover Edition! How embarrassing is this!? ”

Lu Ran directly forced the book into the other party's arms, "What's so embarrassing, we are good brothers...... In other words, I don't have time for free activities today, but I still have things to do, can I make it easier? ”

"Okay! I'll watch the door for you, and you go to the bathroom and do your thing...... Remember, an hour at most. ”

Liu Qiang and Lu Ran have known each other for more than a year, this young man has never caused trouble, and today he gave him a big gift, how could Liu Qiang refuse.

"Thank you, Brother Qiang."

Rumble!

Bathroom doors are closed and locked.

Lu Ran knelt in front of the toilet and dug his throat with his fingers.

Wow! Gastric juice gushed up, and he vomited along with his lunch and two undigested pills.
