Chapter 225: The Truth That Disappeared
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the ex-husband wants to eat back grass!
"What did you say?" My legs were weak, I almost collapsed, grabbed Xiao He, and asked in a trembling voice, "My mother is gone, when did it happen?" ”
"Miss Xia, don't worry, it's just now, just ......" Xiao He helped me and said, "At ten o'clock, Auntie she fell asleep, I asked my colleagues to help watch her, I went out to do something, I came back at eleven o'clock, came back to see that she was still sleeping, I didn't wake her up, dinner was opened at twelve o'clock, I fed her to feed her, shouted a few times and no one answered, as a result, I lifted the quilt and saw that there was no one ...... inside"
"How so?" I said, glancing at Lu Jiuqiao, with an ominous premonition in my heart.
Could it be that my mother was found by Zhou Tiancheng? Taken away?
No, it's impossible, I immediately denied this speculation, even if Zhou Tiancheng found her and wanted to take away a crazy or pretending crazy person from here silently, it was simply impossible.
So, my mom walked on her own?
But why did she leave, assuming that she was Wanli, could it be that she heard me about Zhou Tiancheng, and was afraid that he would come to her, so she hid first?
I can't help but think of the person who was snooped through the window by Xiao He a long time ago......
Did my mom already know?
"Xiao He, did you run down when you found out that she wasn't in the ward, or did you already look for other places and then didn't find her?" I asked.
"I've looked for it." Xiao He said, "As you know, our patients here have problems with their thinking, so there are often people who disappear inexplicably, and then we will find them in many unexpected places.
So generally speaking, when we find that someone is missing, we will look for someone first at the first time, and if we can't find it, we will notify our family and the police, but this situation is not much, and there has only been one case in many years, I have been working here for so long, your mother is the first ......"
"So, you mean that you've found everything you can find?" I asked again.
"Yes, I searched around and couldn't find it, and then I went back to the ward to see if she would come back on her own, but it didn't." Xiao He said, "I was going to inform the dean and then call you." ”
"You inform the dean, what will the dean do?" I asked.
"The dean should gather more people to look for it, and then he will go to the monitor." Xiao He said.
"Oh yes, there's surveillance." I suddenly said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go to the dean quickly!" ”
"Good, good." Xiao He replied and took us to the dean's office.
The dean was taking a lunch break, and when he heard that my mother was missing, he asked Xiao He in detail about the situation, and he became nervous.
When people are lost in their sanatoriums, they are very responsible.
After asking about the situation, the dean really did what Xiao He said, mobilized a lot of people, asked them to follow Xiao He to find someone, and then took me and Lu Jiuqiao to the monitoring room.
Waiting for the staff to adjust the monitoring time, I secretly walked to the window, dialed the number of Wanli, and the voice prompt showed that the phone I dialed was turned off.
It's turned off, what does that mean?
You know, no matter what time period I used to look for him, he was there, and he didn't turn off the phone in the middle of the night, but now in broad daylight, it turned off.
He said before that this number was contacted by us alone, so he turned it off to hide from me.
Of course, it is also possible that I said goodbye to him this morning, and he knew that I would not look for him again in the future, so he felt that the call was useless.
But anyway, I don't think it's possible to find him on the phone.
I put away the phone in frustration, distraught.
"It's okay, don't worry." Lu Jiuqiao stood beside me and held my hand, "Come on, let's see if there are any clues in the monitoring room first." ”
I was led by him and walked back to the monitor, and the staff had already called up the surveillance from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. according to the time provided by Xiao He.
I watched with them with trepidation.
At ten o'clock, the corridor was empty, nothing abnormal, at ten o'clock, Xiao He came out of my mother's ward and appeared in the corridor, she stood and thought for a while, walked to the ward separated by a few doors, opened the door, said a few words inside, and pointed in the direction of my mother's ward.
Probably what she said, if she wants to go out to run errands, she will ask her colleagues to help keep an eye on my mother.
With that, she went downstairs.
After a while, the colleague who Xiao He asked came out with a basin, went to the door of my mother's ward, looked inside, and probably didn't have anything to do, so he closed the door and left.
In the corridor that followed, there were people walking, people coming, coming and going, like a silent movie, but there was no movement on my mother's ward.
It was until 10:50 a.m., when the door to the ward suddenly opened.
"Hey, there's movement!"
The master who put the monitor shouted excitedly, which frightened me, and my heart instantly rose to my throat.
Lu Jiuqiao patted my hand and signaled me not to get excited.
We unconsciously approached the screen, and saw half of the body leaning out of the ward, wearing a nurse's uniform, but it was obviously not Xiao He.
Xiao He's hair is long, and this hair is short.
My mother's hair was also long before, but after being hospitalized, in order to facilitate combing and avoid accidents, Xiao He asked my opinion and cut her short.
So, this is my mom.
She leaned out, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one in the hallway, so she stepped out and closed the door.
At this time, in the surveillance, she no longer acted like a patient at all, she glanced around vigilantly, lowered her head, put her hand in the big pocket, and walked quickly to the staircase.
I hung my heart in the air, holding my breath until I was about to suffocate.
It's been a long time since I've seen my mom so normal, her demeanor, the way she walks, and her tall back under her nurse's gown...... I couldn't help but burst into tears, for a moment, I didn't even care where she went, and a voice in my heart repeatedly shouted, my mom is not crazy, my mom is normal, my mom is sober!
"Miss Xia, something is wrong!" The dean suddenly called me to pause the surveillance, and wondered, "Your mother looks no different from a normal person like this?" ”
He found out.
How should I answer?
All I can say is that I don't know.
"I think it's strange too, Dean, let's move on!" I mumbled.
"Okay!" The dean nodded and motioned for the master to continue.
There was no surveillance in the stairs, and the master switched the scene to the first floor, and my mother reappeared in the corridor on the first floor.
She still kept her head down, put her hands in her pockets, and walked out of the gate unhurriedly, all the way outside.
On the way, several people passed by her, and no one paid attention to her.
Further on, in the direction of the sanatorium gate, there was no surveillance on the road, and we could not see it again.
"Cut straight to the gate!" The dean said.
The master estimated the walking time and cut the picture to the gate, my mother really appeared, she stopped on the side of the guard room, waited for a while, just a truck drove in, the doorman came out to direct the car, my mother took the opportunity to slip out of the gate from behind him, and gradually disappeared in the monitoring range.
"Whew!"
Everyone exhaled involuntarily, but everyone's mood was different.
Lu Jiuqiao and I were not shocked because we had been mentally prepared, but we were just worried about why my mother was doing this and where she was going, but the dean was different, he was completely shocked.
"Miss Xia!" He called me again, "I dare to vouch for my life, your mother's behavior is definitely not a patient's behavior, she is completely normal, even more alert than a normal person." ”
He was probably afraid that I would ask them to be responsible, so he said it categorically.
"Dean, don't worry, I just want to find out the truth, and I won't embarrass you." I said, "I don't know why my mom did this, but she went out on her own, and I knew it." ”
"Ah, that's good, that's good, I also know that Miss Xia, you are an understanding person." The dean wiped his sweat and said, "We often meet some grumpy family members, to be honest, we are all scared, you also know the particularity of our here, patients are easy to have mistakes." ”
"I know, and I can understand that." I said, "I still have a little doubt, Xiao He Ming said that she came back at eleven o'clock and saw that my mother was still in the ward, what is going on?" ”
"Then let's cut back and see." The dean said, "I called Xiao He to come back and watch it together." ”
After Xiao He came over, we watched the surveillance together, she came back at more than eleven o'clock, yes, after she came back, she met the colleague in the corridor again, maybe the colleague told her that my mother was still sleeping, so she walked to the door of the ward, opened the door and looked inside casually, and then closed the door and left.
"I'm sorry, I was negligent." Xiao He looked at the surveillance, blushed with shame, and said, "Xiao Zhang said that Auntie was still sleeping, I opened the door and saw that the quilt was bulging, and I didn't look carefully, so I went downstairs to the cafeteria, I'm sorry, Miss Xia, I'm sorry, Dean, I was wrong!" ”
In front of me, the dean criticized her very seriously, blaming her for not leaving her post without permission during working hours, resulting in the loss of patients.
Xiao He naturally knew his responsibility, and admitted his mistake repeatedly, and when he heard that my mother went out alone, and she was still wearing her clothes, she was scared of the whole person.
"How is that possible?" She lost her voice and said, "Auntie usually can't even wear socks well, how can she wear clothes and still wear my clothes?" ”
She should indeed be afraid that the stupid patient she had taken care of for three years would suddenly become a normal person, not only normal, but also disappeared...... It's a little scary.
Only Lu Jiuqiao and I know the secret of this, but we can't tell them now, so we have to play stupid together.
The dean apologized to us repeatedly, promised to do his best to find my mother, and asked us if we should call the police.
Lu Jiuqiao said that there was no need to report it first, and then talk about it, and the dean agreed very happily, after all, no one wants to be entangled in a lawsuit, especially in a place like a nursing home, if the police come and are seen by other patients' families, it will definitely cause suspicion and riots.
The dean immediately organized people to go out to find someone, and Lu Jiuqiao and I also used the excuse of going out to find someone and drove away.
My mind was already confused, and I didn't know what to do next, Lu Jiuqiao said that no matter what, I should tell time first.
So, we drove straight to the police station.
