Chapter 148: The Mystery of a Rainy Night (Part II)

When he returned to the interrogation room, Schiller was the only one left, and he didn't let Gordon and Batman follow him.

By this time, the water had been wiped clean from Copote's body, the soaked coat had been taken off, and Mrs. Mona was closing the door to the interrogation room, and when she saw Schiller coming, she said, "You're a doctor, aren't you?" Mr? The kid seemed to be frightened, and I tried to change his clothes, but he struggled so hard that he almost bit me. ”

"Thank you, ma'am, you've done enough, he's a little agitated right now, and I'm about to take him to the hospital."

"Then you go quickly, now that he's a little tired, he shouldn't resist so badly."

Schiller walked into the iron gate, and Copote was still sitting in the corner, wearing a new coat, and without saying a word, Schiller called Brand, and he said, "Send an ambulance and pick up a patient." ”

"What patient needs an ambulance? Doesn't he have a luxury car himself? ”

"It's a real patient, not the gang bosses who are released on medical parole and then released on jail parole."

"What disease? I'll get it ready for the nursing room. ”

"Acute stress disorder, maybe something else, you get the tranquilizer ready first, and when it's time, I'll talk to you in detail."

Soon, Copot was strapped to a stretcher and carried into the ambulance, and Schiller paid no attention to his struggles.

When he arrived at the hospital, Brand came out, dressed in a white lab coat and obviously busy until now, and said, "Oh my God, we finally have a real patient, and I almost thought I was a finance graduate......"

"Don't be too happy, if I told you that he was an important witness in a case involving the heirs of the Falcone family, would you still feel at ease?"

Brand's face fell suddenly, he cursed secretly, and then said, "I knew that there would be nothing good in this ghost place." ”

"He's in a state of severe motor arousal right now, and he can barely communicate, so prescribe him some tranquilizers first, and then see tomorrow morning."

Schiller returned to his office at Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, changed into a doctor's attire, and when he entered Copote's room, Copote's hands were tied to the railing of the nursing bed, his limbs twitching, his face was red, his eyes were round, and his mouth was constantly making gasping sounds.

The nurse next to him came up and said, "Doctor, his state of excitement is too high, he has lifted the muscle restraint, and if he continues like this, it will cause serious damage to his joints." ”

"Let's settle down first." Schiller's tone was calm, and he leaned down and rolled Copote's eyelids, revealing that his vision was completely out of focus and his face was heavily congested.

Schiller turned around and called two more nurses to hold Copot down first, and Brand walked in, saying, "It's been a long time since I've seen a patient with such severe stress disorder, what's wrong with him?" ”

Brand took a closer look at Copote and saw injuries to his neck and shoulder, saying, "Is this abuse?" ”

"It should be, and I'm afraid it's been going on for a while, otherwise it wouldn't be so serious." Schiller speculated: "He should have been abused and beaten for a long time, which led to acute stress disorder." ”

After the tranquilizer was injected, Copote's euphoric response gradually weakened, but he still had convulsions and could not concentrate, Schiller observed his physiological response and said, "Increase the dose." ”

More drugs were injected, Copot finally calmed down, and then gradually fell asleep, Brand hugged his arms and sighed and said: "This is not a way, his spirit seems to be more sensitive than ordinary people, and he is not yet an adult, if the tranquilization effect passes, the state of euphoria still cannot be eased, and he can no longer use such a large amount of medicine." ”

"What are you going to do?" Brand asked, looking at Schiller.

"This requires a comprehensive medical treatment." Schiller stared at Copote's face and said, "As far as I can speculate, he should have other mental disorders, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so badly, and genetic diseases are not impossible." ”

"What about his relatives, don't you have any medical history to refer to?"

As soon as Brand finished asking, he denied himself: "Oh, this is Gotham, trying to identify a real mentally ill person here is like looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

Schiller said to Brand: "You go back and rest first, I'll be on duty tonight, and by the way, I will make a treatment plan." ”

After Brand left, Schiller returned to his office, sat down, took a notebook from the desk drawer, and began to recall in his mind what he had learned about the life of the penguin.

In the comics, there is no detailed description of the penguin's childhood, except that he carries an umbrella with him because his father, who died of pneumonia caused by the rain, and his increasingly crazy mother forced him to carry an umbrella with him.

In the TV series Gotham, the Penguin also entered the Arkham Asylum, where he was tortured by the dean Hugo, and it is not detailed whether he was diagnosed with a real mental illness.

According to Schiller's current observations, at least this penguin man he met should be suffering from a real mental illness.

The nights at Arkham Psychiatric Hospital are very quiet, as there are hardly any real mentally ill people here, so there is no commotion from a sudden onset of patients.

In the entire doctor's office, only Schiller's desk was lit, and in the quiet room, only the rustle of writing echoed.

As soon as it was dawn, Victor, dressed in a trench coat, hurried up the steps of the gate of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, and as soon as the rain stopped, the cold wind of gloomy weather blew his hair and kept flying.

Schiller came out in a white coat, and Victor said, "I had just finished my class on the other side of the living hell, and I heard from that little fat man that Oswald was hospitalized. ”

"Then I learned that you had also taken a leave of absence, and I guessed that you should have treated him."

"Oh, how did you guess?"

"Didn't I tell you before? I've been to Oswald's house and I've seen his mother, who seems to have convulsions, you know, I'm not a professional, but I can tell that his mother isn't quite mentally normal. ”

"Consistent with my assumptions, Colbert should have a hereditary mental illness." Schiller and Victor walked briskly up the stairs together, and Schiller said as he walked: "Acute stress disorder induces his hyperactive symptoms, and I have taken an excessive dose of Valium last night, but it still does not improve this morning." ”

With that, the two of them arrived at the hospital room where Copote was, and at this time, Copote was lying on the bed, he was talking incessantly, but the words that came out of his mouth had no logic, and seemed to be just for venting.

Victor walked over to his bedside, glanced down at Copote, and said, "It's very similar to the symptoms of a student I taught before, extremely agitated, talking to himself, and having aggressive tendencies, even injuring a classmate." ”

"What are you going to do?" Victor asked Schiller: "Actually, I'm quite optimistic about his talent, I know that Gotham has a lot of mental illness, and I can't save him, but he has already come here, and I have to think of a way." ”

"I'll admit him to the hospital, which of course proves that I plan to treat him, but this mixed symptom, the cause can be complex, and I still need to do some investigation."

As he spoke, Brand walked in with a stack of reports, and then handed them to Schiller, saying: "We had a medical examination on him earlier today, and he is not doing well, in addition to mental problems, he also has multiple injuries on his body, which are supposed to be the result of beatings, and the new and old injuries are stacked on top of each other, and this should have been going on for some time." ”

"As we expected." Brand concludes: "This is an acute stress disorder after a severe experience of abuse, and this stress state induces other mental illnesses in him, causing him to fall into an uncontrollable state of extreme euphoria. ”

"We'll talk about the specific treatment plan for the mental side later, is his physical injury serious?"

"He had a severe injury to his left ankle and a fracture to his right arm, which could take a while to heal just that."

"If his hyperactivity resumes, we won't be able to treat him at all, and I don't recommend giving him an overdose of Valium, he's too young for his brain to stand it."

Schiller touched his eyebrows, and he said, "This is really troublesome, can you contact his mother?" I would like to investigate the medical history. ”

Victor shook his head and said, "It's difficult, his mother is not mentally normal, she almost kicked out with a broom when I went last time, and I am afraid that if you want to investigate, you can only go to his house." ”

"That's it......" Schiller finally arranged: "Brand, you should hurry up and treat his trauma first, and Victor and I will go to his house to see what is going on." ”

After leaving, Schiller and Victor sat in the car, and Victor said as he drove "Actually, you surprised me a little, I thought you were that kind of ...... A doctor who doesn't like to meddle. ”

"You don't have to be so tactful, I know, you think I'm the kind of person who will die if I don't have enough money."

Victor coughed embarrassedly twice, Schiller sat in the co-pilot, put the umbrella next to the seat, and then tightened the trench coat jacket, and said: "Actually, what you think is right, most of the time, I am like this." ”

"But only Copote could write the words I knew in the entire class at that vocational school, and if he went crazy, I guess I'd have to be driven crazy by that dog-crawling font."

Victor held the steering wheel, he smiled, did not turn his head, he said, "I see that you are hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, pretending to be an unscrupulous quack, but in fact you are still sympathetic." ”

"I repeat, I may be unscrupulous, but I'm definitely not a quack."

The car drove into a narrow alley next to the Living Hell, and when the two got out of the car, Schiller poked the gravel on the side of the road with the tip of his umbrella, and said: "It seems that the renovated area of the Living Hell is still too small, and this place is still so dirty." ”

"Actually, it's already good." Victor looked up at the front and said, "Before, cars couldn't drive in here at all, but now it's much better." ”

The two entered a dark hallway, and went up two floors, and Victor knocked on the door and asked, "Are you there, Mrs. Copote?" ”

"Are you sure he'll answer you? As far as I know, there are some patients with mental disorders who are unable to take care of themselves. ”

"It should be fine, when Mrs. Copote is not sick, she only has some convulsions in her limbs." Victor continued to knock on the door while explaining, but after a long time, no one answered, Victor frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

No one answered, and Victor could only say, "Maybe something happened, let's go around to the roof of the opposite building, and then go in through the balcony, that's all we can do." ”

The two of them went around the passageway, went out through the door at the end of the corridor on the same floor, went to the terrace, and after a circle, came to the balcony next door, and then climbed into the balcony of the Colbert's house.

Then, from the window, they saw that the inside of the old house was in shambles, as if a struggle had just been sought, and that Mrs. Copote was nowhere to be seen.
