It was nearly 400 kilometers north from Kuala Lumpur to Alor Setar, and it was already noon when I arrived at the place. The three of us came out like thieves and followed far behind. Xiao Yang felt very excited, but she was also apprehensive, because I told her about Dengkang's past in the taxi, and Xiao Yang also had a new understanding of Dengkang, and she was very worried about whether Dengkang was threatened by some enemy.

Xiao Yang's worries are not unreasonable, the matter of Guide Xiong is not over before, and Fang Gang and I have reason to wonder if this bastard has found a way to find Dengkang. But I don't think it's like it, with the person of the bear guide, even if he finds Dengkang, he will either come hard and kill Dengkang directly, or secretly do something, there is no need to threaten Dengkang to ask for money, this doesn't seem to be his style.

Following Deng Kang, we walked for more than half an hour, turned around, and saw him walk into a gray-white building. There was a small office at the entrance of the hospital, and Deng Kang came out two minutes later and walked into the building. When we entered the hospital and came to the office, there was a small window, and Fang Gang first communicated with the staff sitting in half-baked Malay, who understood Chinese, and asked us if we were Chinese. After being told by the staff, we learned that this building was actually a psychiatric hospital in Alor Setar.

The three of us looked at each other, and Fang Gang asked, "What is Deng Kang doing in the psychiatric hospital?" ”

"By the way, didn't you just tell me that Dengkang's father was killed by his soul and became a mentally disturbed person?" Xiao Yang said suddenly. She reacted so quickly, Fang Gang and I looked at each other, but neither spoke.

Visits require formalities, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter. Fang Gang inquired about the person named Dengkang just now, and the staff looked at us and didn't answer. Fang Gang nodded to me, I opened the purse, there was the business money that the customer gave me yesterday, I counted a few Malaysian banknotes and handed them over, saying that we were friends of Dengkang, because of the delay, we were left behind.

The staff member looked at the money in my hand for a few seconds and said, "You can call him and ask him to come out and pick him up." "I begged for a long time, and we were surprised that this man didn't eat it. It may be that I used to use money to do things too happily in Southeast Asia, but now I am more serious and a little unaccustomed.

Fang Gang snorted: "Fight, fight, we are not thieves!" "I had no choice but to hold the money in one hand and take out my mobile phone with the other hand to dial Dengkang's number. He asked me what was the matter, and I said directly that it was at the entrance of the psychiatric hospital, and you should come out and pick us up.

Deng Kang was surprised: "Where are you?" "I said I saw you go in, and now the staff won't let us in, you come out quickly. Deng Kang was silent for a few seconds and hung up.

About five minutes later, Xiao Yang pointed to the door: "Come out!" "Deng Kang walked up to us, and the staff member came out and asked if he was friends with us. This man is quite cautious, and it seems that he is afraid that we will make trouble with Dengkang. Deng Kang nodded, and the staff was relieved, took out the banknote in my hand, retracted and continued to read the newspaper. What made me angry was that this staff member had his own set of principles, and he didn't want to bear the burden, but also wanted to reap the benefits.

"You've been following me?" Deng Kang couldn't believe it. Xiao Yang smiled and said Yes, we are afraid that you will be threatened by that bear tour guide, so we want to help you. Deng Kang smiled, shook his head and turned to leave. We followed into the building, which was lined with rooms with iron doors and a mess of sounds.

I don't know if all card dealers are like this, anyway, in my three years of card dealer career, I have been to a mental hospital at least a few times. Hu Sanqiang, who won the jackpot in my cousin's factory, Mr. Liu, who is good with * in Hua Hin City, and Hong Kong Sister Qiong who wants to kill her husband, this is what I have seen. There are several others that I know but haven't visited, but these are all customers, and now they are following Dengkang, and I don't know who to visit.

On the first floor, Deng Kang showed his ID to the doctor, who led us to an iron gate on the top floor, and through the window we could see that it was very simple, except for an iron bed and a flush toilet, and nothing else. There was an old man in his sixties sitting next to the bed. Unlike the clients I visited before, this man didn't move, like a clay sculpture carved from wood.

The doctor took out the key to open the door and communicated with Tenkang in Malay, which we did not understand. After Dengkang entered, the old man didn't move, as if he didn't see it at all. Deng Kang walked across from the old man, clasped his hands to his chest, leaned his back against the wall, looked at us, and turned his head out the window.

"This is ......," I asked.

In fact, we already have the answer in our hearts, but we are not sure, Fang Gang asked: "Is it your father?" Deng Kang nodded, his eyes still looking out the window. Xiao Yang couldn't help but ask Deng Kang why he didn't communicate with his father, what a poor old man.

Deng Kang snorted: "You come and communicate for me." ”

Xiao Yang was not polite, walked straight to the old man and squatted down, and said with a smile: "Are you Master Dengkang's father?" "The old man didn't move at all, and I even wondered if he was asleep.

Fang Gang asked Dengkang what was going on, and Dengkang said: "Half a year ago, a friend of my brand dealer in Sandaha told me that he saw a message from the Ministry of Health on the Internet announcing that many mentally ill patients who had lost contact with their families. Among them, the information of one of the old men shows that he is from Siwu and his son's name is Dengkang. The dealer knew that I was also from Siwu, so he was curious, so he took a picture of the web page with his mobile phone and showed it to me. I saw at a glance that the man in the photo was my father, and that's when I found him. ”

"But he's completely unable to communicate with people?" I asked. Deng Kang nodded, saying that the doctor had told him that the old man had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital two or three years ago, and that he had found it at the scene of a murder case, and that a woman had died by caesarean section, and that the old man was only talking nonsense next to him, and the case had not been solved. Later, I gradually stopped even talking nonsense, just silence. Eat when you give food, drink when you give water, go to find a place to urinate and urinate yourself, and solve it anywhere if you don't have a place, just like cats and dogs.

Deng Kang said: "I didn't dare to say that it was his son, for fear of being stabbed by the hospital to the police, and then pulling out the murder case of that year, I had to say that I was his nephew." Fortunately, I made up for three years of admission, and the doctor didn't ask much, but persuaded me to take him out. I said I wanted to treat him, and the doctor said that with the level of medicine in Southeast Asia, I was afraid that it would not work, and I could try it in Japan, Europe, the United States and Australia, but it might take a lot of money. ”

Until now, Fang Gang and I suddenly realized why Dengkang, who has never valued money very much, actually colluded with that Raja guy in private to cheat together, so that he could take on more big business and make up money to treat his father's illness. This reminds me of Lao Xie, one is to govern his son, and the other is to govern his father. This is really a creation to make people, when his father was fascinated by the ghost, he followed the widow wholeheartedly, killing his wife and daughter-in-law, Deng Kang hated his father very much, but he couldn't get rid of the dead hand, so he had to give him a soul to surrender, and then falsely claimed to the ghost king that he had killed his father with the head lowering technique. After a few years, Deng Kang was able to meet his father. It stands to reason that it should be a good thing, but if you have to raise a huge amount of money to treat his brain, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

I tried to talk to his father again, but the old man was really sick and hopeless, I asked a dozen questions, and he only looked at me once, and then ignored me again, just like Du Qiu in the old movie "Manhunt" pretending to be stupid.

The four of them were silent in the ward for half an hour, but Deng Kang walked out first, and the three of us followed closely. Fang Gang asked Deng Kang where he lived during this time, and Deng Kang said, "I have already moved here from Shan Ta Port. I asked him what he planned to do in the future, and Deng Kang said that he tried to scrape together enough money, because his father was in his sixties, and the doctor said that the longer it dragged on, the greater the damage to the brain, and the lower the chance of cure, so it should be done as soon as possible.

"I only have less than 50,000 yuan in my hand at most, and Tian Qi will not be much more than me, it is too different from the number you want." Fang Gang said.

After dinner, the four of us went to the apartment rented by Dengkang. It was similar to Fang Gang's residence, with only one bedroom and a small living room, with a simple altar of earth on which the laboring skull was placed. Deng Kang is our partner and good friend, but I can't sell the house and lend him money.
