After only a few steps, I could see clearly the man sitting at the table waiting for Chari to dine with, the handsome man who rescued me by the sea! This graceful and handsome appearance is really unforgettable, strictly speaking, he is not handsome in the traditional sense, but from the inside out he exudes a charming temperament, which may be innate, so you can't help but be fascinated by it. His beauty is like an unrestrained and bewitching, seductive but poisonous poppy. Once you've met it, you'll never forget it.

I think Chari should have known that the person who rescued me at the beach that day was the colleague who was dining with him, but why did he deliberately avoid it?! I was tempted to ask him why he was talking about him, but I ended up swallowing it in my stomach.

I took two steps to the man's approach and greeted him cordially: "Hello! Mr. He should have responded to me and continued the conversation, but strangely enough, the gentleman didn't seem to hear me at all, and he still hung his head and frowned, immersed in his own mood.

Charry arrived at my side in time to resolve my embarrassment. "This is Patel, the one who saved you." He glanced at Patel, then turned to me and whispered, "We're all ...... The police are investigating a missing person here. You don't have to pay attention to him, he is sometimes nervous, and he must still be immersed in the case and meditating. ”

"Oh, so you're a cop!" I looked Chari up and down, "Don't say I'm looking away, you don't really look like a seasoned cop." ”

"And what do I look like for?" Charry half-jokingly beckoned me to sit down. He sat next to Patel, and I sat across from the two of them.

"It's hard to say what it's like,...... Like an academic ...... Anyway, it doesn't look like a police officer. "Calry and I hit it off at first sight, and talking to him was like talking to an old friend we've been friends with for years, always so naturally and fluently.

"Maybe I should resign." Charry smiled heartily.

While Calry and I were whispering and laughing, Patel finally came to his senses, and he looked at me steadily.

I hurriedly said to Patel again cordially: "Hello! Do you remember me, I was the one you rescued by the beach two days ago? ”

"Oh...... I remember. How are you doing? Have you recovered? "He seems to be in a bit of a trance.

"Thank you so much for saving my life! Maybe it's because it's cold and scared on the beach by the sea, I had a fever two days ago, but now I'm okay and my injuries are much better. ”

"That's good. Be sure to dress warmly here, the sea breeze is cool at night! ”

"Okay. …… How did you end up here? ”

"Because of a rather strange disappearance."

Chari took over, "It's a psychiatric prisoner hospitalized here, named Prio, who has been missing for several days, but he can't find it, it's like he has evaporated from the world, no one is alive, no body is dead. ”

"I see." I don't know what's wrong, but as soon as I heard that the police were solving the case, I immediately became interested, whether it was because one of the policemen was too handsome. "He probably ran away by boat."

"That's certainly not possible. On the day of his disappearance, the weather was bad, with strong winds and storms blowing on the island, and all three ferries were docked. He had no boat to sit on, and it was even more impossible to swim and escape, for a hundred miles of the sea was so vast that he would die of exhaustion if he could not swim to the shore. When the next day was calm, the police sent a large number of searchers to search all the corners of the island that might be hiding, but they did not find a single person. "There's a magnetism in Patel's voice that makes you feel like you'll never get enough of it.

"That's weird!" I listened intoxicated, and made a small touch.

"Who's to say it isn't." Chari also interjected.

As I lay in bed at night, I still reminisced about my encounter with my savior, Patel, during the day, who was so handsome that I was fascinated! Could it be that I fell in love with him?! So I quietly compared him to Amanda in the depths of my heart, and I was amazed that these two people had no connection, could it be that I had two hearts and fell in love with these two men at the same time?! I'm a little confused, but one thing is clear, I'm not in a hurry to leave the island.

The next morning, after breakfast, I had nothing to do, and I heard that Patel and Chari were making inquiries in a small hall, so I hurried over.

This small hall is located on the east side of the first floor of the main building, and it is not large, at most only about 30 square meters. When I walked in, there were several people sitting inside, the dean and Officer Patel on one side, and two middle-aged female nurses and a handyman on the other, and Chari was standing by a window near the door.

The first to see me was Dean Alsace, who looked over the nurse's white-hatted head and nodded politely to me, much to my flattery. I was worried that my uninvited presence would interfere with their interrogation, but I didn't expect Dean Arthas to mind at all, so I responded with a polite nod.

Then I came quietly to Chari, who was also speechless, just nodded at me as if I had been here many times. He certainly wasn't engrossed in the inquiry, for he was now concentrating on the cigarette in his hand, which was not lit, but was gracefully held between his fingers. From time to time, he held up a cigarette to his nose and sniffed it, apparently obsessed with the smell. It's a pity that he can only refrain from it, because smoking is definitely not allowed in this small hall.

I heard the middle-aged man talking.

"Willie had a cold and fever that day, and I took his shift for the day. At ten o'clock in the evening, the patients all went into the house to sleep, and Prio was the only one in the corridor, and he had to sleep in the same room with Cowlet, how could this be! Later, I dragged him with Teddy and finally got him into the dorm. When I locked the door from the outside, I could still hear his footsteps walking back and forth, which was very ...... It's scorching! Later, when I went back to see him after another hour, he was already asleep, even wrapped in a large quilt with his head and feet, and he often slept like this. I saw that he was already asleep and walked away......"

"And you've been there ever since?" Patel interrupted him and asked.

"Oh...... I went to the toilet once. It was almost twelve o'clock when I wanted to go to the bathroom. Nurse Lori and Muse passed by, so I asked them to take my place for a while. ”

As soon as the handyman spat out the last word, the nurse Lori took over and continued to speak briskly: "Muse and I happened to be off the night shift and were about to go back to the dormitory. As is customary, before leaving, I asked June one last time if there was anything else I needed help with, and he said he was going to the bathroom, and of course I acquiesced. Later, I heard Lizzy yelling in room 303, so I walked over and looked through the small window on the door, and it was okay, he was sleeping soundly and still snoring. He often let out this loud wail when he slept, and it must have been nightmares again. Then Juin came back, and I went back to the dorm with Muse. ”

There was silence as soon as the dean coughed.

Juan hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Then I continued to patrol back and forth a bit. After that, I walked around the hallway every two hours until six o'clock in the morning, and nothing out of the ordinary. Later, the patients all got up, but there was no movement in the room where Prio lived, which was definitely different from usual. Normally he was always the first to knock on the door to come out, but today it was unusually quiet. I suddenly realized if he was in a state of mind, and I hurried over to unlock the door, strangely I lifted the futon from the bed, but there was no sign of him. Later, I searched all the places where there might be hiding people, under the bed, under the table, and even the small closet where the clothes were kept, but I didn't see a single figure. At that time, I was stunned, this gate was locked, but the person was gone, and I couldn't meet a ghost, right?! After that, I stayed there and asked another handyman, Ah Qiu, to report to the guards. ”

"Are you 100% sure Prio got into his own room?!" Patel had been recording it in his notebook, but suddenly he raised his head and stared at June's face and asked.

"Yes, I dare to vouch for my own head!" He spoke in an unusually sharp voice, as if he was afraid that others would think he was lying, but the smile on his face was even more exaggerated and funny, which couldn't help but feel very incongruous. I guess he must have tried to hide his stuttering with a wide smile.

Patel had lowered his eyes and made a few more notes in his notebook. But then, the handyman Juan stared at Patel with disgust and contempt in his eyes. I was alone in this hurried glimpse, and then Juan retracted his eyes and returned to his original form. I didn't expect him to be so wary and disgusting with the police, I don't understand it.

Now the small hall was silent again, and everyone seemed to have their own thoughts.

"So be it. If you think of anything, come back to us. Say to me or Patel, well, and Officer Charry, it's fine. Once again, the Dean broke the silence.

The nurses and handymen were gone, and only Patel watched their departing backs meaningfully, while Dean Arthas and Chari stared at each other, and everything seemed to freeze.
