Chapter 4: Number 091 - Grimace in the Water (4)

"Hehe, you young people probably don't know that in our era, mental illness, that is, madness, there is no cure, whoever has such a person in the family, can only be locked up, tied up, or let people go crazy outside, there is no way. When my mother heard my brother say that, she was anxious, chased after my brother and beat him, scolding him for being crazy, but my brother was desperate, just going to the psychiatric department to see. Some doctors and nurses came to persuade me, and what kind of ophthalmologist explained to my mother that it might be a psychological reason, so my brother saw a vision, and this kind of mental illness is not crazy. ”

"Hmm. Then I went to the psychiatrist? ”

"yes, and then I went to see it. There are two doctors in the psychiatric department of the hospital, one is an old doctor who has drunk foreign ink and has returned to his roots when he is old, and the other is a young man who has been forcibly assigned to the psychiatric department. There were not a few psychiatric patients, many of them came to the old doctor, because my mother cried a lot, and the expert doctor of the ophthalmology department accompanied us to the psychiatric department, introduced us, and asked the old doctor to show my brother first. They all felt that my brother was a small problem, which could be solved quickly, and he didn't need to take medicine or anything. Whew—"

"And after that?"

"Phew—my brother went in and talked to the old doctor alone, and after a while, the old doctor told the young doctor to run out and pick up some leaves. I was scared and tried to keep the doctor out of it, but I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, so I watched the doctor go in with two fresh leaves in his hand, and then ...... And then there was my brother's scream. My brother screamed like crazy, and it didn't sound like a human being. Before the door was closed, I walked past the doctor and saw my brother cowering in the corner, waving his hands as if he were hitting something. He screamed at the top of his throat, his eyes widened, but his face was pale, and it was terrifying. My mother couldn't breathe all of a sudden, and just sat down on the ground. The doctors and nurses were also frightened, and the old doctor shouted for them to go out, but the young doctor stood still and let go of his hand, and the two leaves fell to the ground......"

Z, z.

Quack!

"Shhhh At that time, there was a crack in the window, and I didn't feel the wind, and the two leaves floated up, as if they were blown by the wind, and floated towards my brother. My brother screamed even more, but stopped waving, holding his head and burrowing into the corner. I don't know what to tell you about that. Phew—I couldn't stand it anymore, so I rushed in and grabbed and tore the leaf apart. The old doctor comforted my brother and coaxed him like a child. My mom was crying right there. There are other patients waiting in the corridor, I don't know if they were stimulated by my brother, and they all had seizures, which is called a mess. Ha...... I grabbed the broken leaves and stood in the room, my head blowing up. At that time, I thought, this is really weird, how can there be such a thing......"

"But that's what happened."

"Yes, it happened, and it happened to my brother! Phew—there was no psychiatric ward in the hospital at that time, and we had to go back. After a day of tossing, my brother was scared so much that he didn't get anything. When my old man came to pick us up, he almost beat the old doctor. It's another commotion...... Alas...... The old doctor was really responsible, and he said how to do rehabilitation treatment for my brother. The old doctor and my dad didn't believe what my brother said, thinking he was scared. My dad became angry, and when he returned to the factory, he began to look for someone to find out which rabbit cub scared my brother. I...... I was with my brother, and I listened to him talk to himself, laughing and crying, saying that it was a ghost. ”

"You believe it's a ghost?"

"I can't help but believe it. My brother is so bold that he can't even tell the real from the fake. Moreover, it didn't take long for someone in the factory to see a ghost again. ”

"Well, we know that, too. After your brother, two or three people saw the ghost, right? ”

"It's two people. A fat man and a little Xu, both of whom are about the same age as my brother, are also friends, and they saw the same ghost in the woods of that park. Probably...... I can't say it's the same......"

"What's the difference?"

"My brother was scared when he saw the leaves, they didn't seem to be. I don't know exactly. ”

"Is your father's investigation inconclusive?"

"Nope. My mother opened up and bathed my brother with grapefruit leaves, and prayed to God and Buddha, but my brother was sometimes good and sometimes bad, sometimes he couldn't see it, sometimes he saw it again, and then he gradually stopped going out and locked himself in the house. At that time, the factory was already in a semi-shutdown state, and it closed down not long after. My brother locked himself in the house, my mom cried when she saw it, and my dad smoked desperately. I...... I quickly found a new job, but I just didn't want to stay at home. ”

"Your brother later committed suicide, what was the reason?"

"Whew-"

"Mr. Li? Is there anything wrong with that? If you can say something, it will help us a lot. ”

"Oh...... Phew, my brother...... I killed you. ”

"Huh?"

"My brother was locked up in the house at that time, not going out and not seeing the leaves...... I've been thinking for so many years that if he stays at home for the rest of his life, and never looks at the leaves for the rest of his life, maybe he will be able to live in peace and stability until now. He is my own brother, the only real brother, and it is not a problem for me to raise him as a younger brother. But I ...... I ......"

"Mr. Li, are you okay?"

"Well, I'm fine. Whew-me...... That day, I came home from work...... It's autumn, and the leaves are yellow. My mother was still telling me the day before that when the leaves were gone, my brother might be able to go out for a walk, whether it was to see the old doctor or to worship the Buddha in the temple, maybe next year, my brother would be fine...... But when I came home that day, I didn't pay attention to myself, so I went back to the bedroom, took off my coat and threw it on the bed. My brother was taking a shower and wasn't in the house. I went to the kitchen to help my mother cook, and when it was ready, I went to call my brother to eat, and I saw that the toilet door was still closed, I thought it was the old man who was using it, and went to the bedroom, and found that my brother was not there, and when I came out again, I saw the old man coming out of the bedroom of their old couple...... Phew—I didn't know why, but I guess it was just a gut feeling, and I looked back at my bedroom. My coat was spread out on the bed. My brother and I have slept in the bunk bed all my life, I can sleep in the bunk, and there is a shadow on the bed, I didn't pay attention to it, but when I turned around, I saw it. I ...... on that garment Back ...... There is a leaf hanging from it......"

"Mr. Li's ......"

"Hah...... I took a leaf with me and went into the house...... I went in with the leaves...... I...... I'll give my brother ...... Killed ...... It's all my fault...... It's all my fault......"

"Mr. Li, it's not your fault. It was an accident and you ......"

"Maybe not an accident."

"You say...... Miscellaneous...... Is it? ”

"Boss?"

"Mr. Li, your brother has hit a ghost, and many things are not accidents, we have to investigate to find out. Can you ask how many days your brother went through from the time he saw the ghost to the time he died? How often does he see ghosts? ”

"I ...... I don't remember exactly. ”

"So, as far as you know, was the first person to see a ghost in the factory your brother?"

“…… Be. ”

"Has your brother done anything before? Or, did something happen to the factory before this? ”

"No...... Should be...... No...... Right? I really don't remember. ”

"Then what you said about Fat Head and Xiao Xu, do you remember their names and contact information?"

"The name is remembered, the contact information is gone. Soon after this happened, they moved. ”
