Chapter 7: Four Hospitals
Someone called Sister Zeng, it was the person who helped her play cards, it seemed that someone had something to leave, she agreed, stood up and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, she looked back at me: "Xiaoshu is missing, they all say that he was abducted, but there is another theory......"
"What?" I also stood up.
She glanced left and right and whispered, "Actually, this is also hearsay. ”
"What's wrong?"
The man called her again, she nodded from the other party and said that she would come over soon, and then leaned next to me and said, "Some people say that in fact, Xiaoshu has long been dead, but where is the body, it has not been found. ”
After a pause, she added: "Of course, this is just speculation, and no one can say anything without evidence." ”
After saying this, Sister Zeng patted me on the shoulder and turned to leave.
I stood at the door of the mahjong parlor for a while, and I saw Sister Zeng playing a few cards inside, this time her luck didn't seem to be very good, and the whole person was a little anxious.
I was a little thirsty, so I picked up my teacup and drank the tea inside.
When I got home, I went to bed early, and in the middle of the night, Zhang Ming seemed to be knocking on my door, and I ignored him.
Early the next morning, I called Zhao Wei and said that I wanted to go to the hospital to see his son. He didn't understand it over there, and asked me loudly why I was going to find his son.
I explained to him that his son was also in that shop, and that there were some details that I needed to know from him personally, after all, he was also a man of the time.
Before I finished speaking, Zhao Wei's tone was a little unpolite, and he hung up my phone without saying a few words.
The more he reacted, the more interested I became in his son.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, every city's psychiatric hospital is called "Four Hospitals", and when I got off the bus, I glanced at the signs and walked a few hundred meters to the destination.
The weather has been good these days, and the sun is very comfortable on my body.
Psychiatric hospitals are usually on the outskirts, and here is a mountain road that goes all the way up, and in front of it is a not-so-large hospital with burglar bars installed in every window.
I stuffed the doorman with a pack of Chinese cigarettes, and I went in easily.
It's time for the hospital to let the wind out, and it just so happens that the sun is fine today, and many people are crowded in the courtyard to rest. Walking among them, I watched one by one.
At that moment, I was hit and turned around to be an old woman in a hospital gown with gray hair.
She looked at me apologetically, and said sorry to me very politely, I shook my head and said it was okay, the old woman was already leaving, and suddenly turned around, pointed to a back figure sitting on a stool not far away, and said to me:
"Young man, the man you are looking for is him!"
I looked in the direction she was pointing, and it was the back of a man, who was probably not very old when I looked at the back alone.
I was about to ask the mother-in-law something, but I found that she was gone.
Turning around and looking around, there was no sign of the mother-in-law at all, could she have walked away so quickly, but her age does not look like such a quick person.
After shivering, I looked up at the sky, the sun was still shining, but it felt colder than before.
After a moment's pause, I walked towards the seated man, who had his back to me, the sun shining on him from behind, and I heard something muttering something from his mouth.
As I got closer, I finally heard two of the words clearly: "Little Tree ......"
I can't help but feel stunned, little tree.
If he is calling a person's name, then it should be the child who Wang Gang and Xie Ru disappeared. Standing in front of the man, I looked at the badge on his hospital gown, and his name was written on it: Zhao Chen.
I asked him, "You are Zhao Wei's son?" ”
He didn't answer me, but he was still muttering in a low voice, "Little tree...... Little Tree ...... Sorry ......"
I asked him again, and Zhao Chen looked up at me with a somewhat wooden look in his eyes: "I am...... My dad's name is Zhao Wei, and my name is Zhao Chen......"
I listened, nodded in satisfaction, and sat down beside him.
"Wang Gang and Xie Ru husband and wife, their ghosts have found you? Did you see them? ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Chen's body began to tremble, and he hugged his head: "Don't, I really didn't mean to, please, let me go......"
His outrageous reaction, combined with the name he'd been calling, made me assume that he had something to do with the child's disappearance.
I grabbed him by the shoulder and asked sharply, "Where is the little tree!?" ”
He screamed and reached out and pushed me away, and I wanted to step forward again, but he was already yelling. At this time, I saw a nurse running towards this side, in order not to cause trouble, I took one last look at Zhao Chen, who was lost in his soul, and left.
Leaving the No. 4 Hospital, I got on the bus back to the city.
Zhao Chen's reflection just now has fully proved one point, that is, Xiaoshu's disappearance must have something to do with Zhao Chen. And there is another point, why did all the owners who opened restaurants in that place just want to leave, but it was only Zhao Chen who went crazy in the end?
Presumably it was Wang Gang and Xie Ru and his wife, who must have known something, so when they faced Zhao Chen again, they must have made some moves that made him finally insane.
Now the person who knows all these answers, alive and normal, is probably only Zhao Chen's father, Zhao Wei.
He asked me to catch ghosts, and it's up to him whether he cooperates or not.
But the seriousness of the matter, I must tell him, this is not only a work ethic, but also a code of conduct.
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang, it was actually Zhao Wei's call, his tone was much calmer than before, asking me if I was free, and wanted to talk to me in person.
After hanging up the phone, I looked out the window, had just taken a deep breath, and suddenly froze.
The bus was moving slowly, and on the side of the road in the suburbs, a black figure stood quietly, and under the black cloak, the woman's face was as beautiful as ever......
I looked at her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, smiling.
This meeting with Zhao Wei was not in the restaurant, and after Zhao Wei picked me up at the bus stop, he took me to one of his villas in the suburbs.
The house is big and even more luxuriously decorated.
There are several loquat trees planted in the yard, and the fruits are abundant, and the branches and leaves are lush, and the yellow hanging on them is very beautiful.
Sitting face-to-face with Zhao Wei, he was making kung fu tea, he was very skilled, handed me a cup for me to taste, I took a sip, and I didn't feel much.
He asked me, "This is the best Meizen tea of the year, how does it taste?" ”
"Good."
With that, I put down my glass:
"Tell me, Xiaoshu and your son, what happened?"
