Chapter 367: A Familiar Man
Protection...... Bai Su? Gu Cheng's unfinished words can be combined into these four words, to protect Bai Su.
But why? Chen Zi was a little puzzled at the time, in her opinion, or in her impression, the black-haired youth's mysterious strength and his mystery made him look like he didn't need protection.
On the contrary, she listened to Qi Zhuyue talk about some experiences, and felt that Bai Su was the one who moved with his heart and had no logic in his behavior.
He casually pulled people by the hand, and watched people enter the trap and pit without being indifferent.
Of course, these comments were all made by her and Qi Zhuyue in private, and they didn't talk to anyone else.
Chen Zi really had questions, so she asked her boss more why, and gave her own conjecture.
"It's because ...... Is it because the supernatural items attached to Bai Su's body are difficult to deal with? β
Chen Zi's conjecture is reasonable.
The death of some of our companions is not only a sad parting, but also the beginning of a nightmare.
The supernatural things attached to human beings often show signs of pollution when they are alive, and deepen the alienation of people, making people transform into non-human species, not to mention that after the death of the host, there is no control, and the supernatural things that lodge are more like wild horses that have escaped, and they are out of control.
Chen Zi had seen that kind of picture.
A few years ago, when performing a very dangerous mission, at the moment of the final elimination of the supernatural, there was such a colleague who paid for his life to cover his companions.
What happened after that? Chen Zi recalled that she saw flowers blooming from white bones in the human body, and the buds swayed for a moment before exploding, turning into bone spurs and galloping towards the companions around her.
What happened later, Chen Zi didn't really want to recall the bloody scene.
Now, the short-haired woman is substituting this fragment of the past, and she remembers that there seems to be something on Bai Su's body, and she is thinking about whether the danger of the supernatural thing getting out of control is too great, so she has to put the safety of the black-haired young man before herself.
Captain Gu listened, and a slightly subtle expression appeared on his face.
He didn't say whether it was right or wrong, but he thought about it thoughtfully before he replied, "You can think so...... You may be right. β
Later, Chen Zi took the task and drove to pick up Bai Su to this mental hospital, and entered smoothly with the identity materials prepared by the bureau.
ββ¦β¦ Chen Zi? Bai Su looked at the person in a trance and entered the memory, he shouted several times but did not answer, seeing that Dr. Hao was coming back, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of the short-haired woman, "Chen Zi!" β
A second, slightly loud cry woke the short-haired woman from her memory, and she said sorry, then patted her cheek.
"I thought of something from the past...... It's okay now. Chen Zi waved her hand, and by the time Dr. Hao returned, she had returned to normal.
Then the process of ward rounds continued, and they went up to the third floor.
According to Dr. Hao, the higher the patient's condition, the more serious he is, and he will take them to see three floors at most.
"Can't you go up there?" Chen Ziruo asked inquisitively.
"Hmm...... The main thing is the fear of accidents. Dr. Hao replied, "Just like the one you just saw who was sedated, there are many more serious symptoms upstairs than him." β
No matter how detailed it was, Dr. Hao didn't say anything, he just pushed open the door of the ward in front of him.
From the third floor, some patients who were tied to hospital beds with restraint belts gradually appeared, asking that they were afraid that they would hurt themselves because of their illness.
Bai Su's gaze staggered with the patient on the hospital bed.
He didn't see any murderous aggression, but a little fear and a plea for help.
The next one was replaced, and there was no light in the man's eyes, only numbness.
Suddenly, when entering a ward, the steps of the short-haired woman beside Bai Su shifted, and she didn't know what she saw and thought of something, her shoulders were crooked, and she almost hit the door frame.
Fortunately, the person reacted quickly, put his hand on his shoulder and rubbed it, and pretended to be uncomfortable and put it next to him.
After that, Chen Zidu was in a normal state, following the doctor Hao in front of him to stop and go, like a platform staff who thought he was serious about collecting materials, but Bai Su looked a little unprofessional.
After the ward rounds, Dr. Hao said that Bai Su could move around freely on the first to third floors without hindering their work, such as asking the nurses at the nurses' station to ask questions or something, collect some information, and put their luggage in the room first.
They live with the medical staff, so you can ask the nurse at the front desk or Dr. Xu on the first floor to show you the way.
Bai Su originally wanted to implement the character and go to the nurse at the nurse station to chat about everything, but Chen Zi spoke first and said that he was going to put down his luggage.
"Go to Dr. Xu, just in time to get your luggage." Chen Zi said, and at the same time cast a look at Bai Su.
Although he didn't understand what the specific human wanted to express, Bai Su still followed, and for him, it didn't make a difference to go there.
Dr. Xu, who had led them in the morning, was sitting in his office, and when he saw them knock on the door and explain what they were doing, he quickly put down what he was doing.
"Then I'll take you there first." Dr. Xu said with a smile, "In order to facilitate work, we medical staff also live in the hospital. β
It really wasn't that far away, in a building on the left back.
Dr. Xu handed them two keys, which were two adjacent rooms.
"We don't have any men and women here, and they all have independent complete bathrooms." After that, Dr. Xu paused for a few seconds and added, "There were two doctors who lived here before, and they have left their jobs. β
took a key from it and was about to open the door, Bai Su asked casually: "Why did you leave your job?" β
Doctor Xu laughed and shrugged his shoulders: "What else can it be, because we are busy with work here, and the treatment outside is good, so people will change jobs." β
A reasonable explanation, but in this psychiatric hospital, one has to think about it.
Since Dr. Xu hadn't left yet, the two people who went in separately to put their luggage stayed in the room for a while.
As soon as Bai Su entered the house, he found that there were traces of people living in this room.
A simple bed with a table, chairs and wardrobes, a small balcony outside for some laundry, a bathroom with everything you need, and even toiletries left by the previous owner.
Actually, it's not just the bathroom.
Bai Su turned back into the room, opened the closet and looked at it, there were still a lot of clothes hanging inside.
If people really leave their jobs and leave here, how can they leave so many clothes behind? No...... It feels like nothing is taken away.
There are clothes for all seasons, and there are even a few newly bought ones that have not been opened.
Bai Su took a look at it, the label was not torn off, and then I saw a courier box that was not lost, and the recipient address was not written in this mental hospital, but another indoor address, which looked like it was sent to one place and then sent over.
And the time of mailing...... Just last week.
Bai Su looked at the time, and did not mean to take out the things, but closed the wardrobe door.
He wouldn't be here for a few days in total...... Right? The black-haired young man tilted his head, not quite sure.
He casually pushed the luggage to the side of the bed, thought about it, and still unzipped it and spread it on the ground, which was to write a change of clothes.
Bai Su sat on the edge of the bed for a while, he took out his mobile phone, and found that the signal in the mental hospital was not good, and the five-bar signal could only show the worst bar.
couldn't receive news from the outside world, but Bai Su had a sense of taking it for granted.
Looking at the several incidents he has experienced, there are few times when the mobile phone signal is good, and the interruption of contact with the outside world always feels that it is inevitable.
After a while, there was a knock on the door outside, and it was Chen Zi who came over.
The short-haired woman pushed the door open at the sound of the white promise, and she dodged in, shutting the door behind her, and locking it.
Bai Su: ?
He watched as the short-haired woman walked in, carefully took out some equipment and probed around, before finally folding the scanner-like prop with a frown and stuffing it back into his pocket.
"The rooms were all normal." Chen Zi said.
Bai Su turned his head to look in the direction of the wardrobe suspiciously, and he asked rhetorically, "Is it normal?" β
There seemed to be a question mark on Chen Zi's head, so Bai Su led people to visit the wardrobe in his room, and the short-haired woman also came to the conclusion that the owner of the original room left suddenly.
"Less than a week...... Any other clues? Chen Zi's fingers pressed on the face sheet of the express sticker.
Bai Su shook his head, but still mentioned: "The bottles and cans in the bathroom are also very new, and it hasn't been long since they were dismantled." β
Although Chen Zi wanted to find some clues in this room, she still held back and talked to Bai Su about another topic first.
She talked about her gaffe.
"Oh......" Bai Su said, "You almost hit the door before?" β
Chen Zi nodded, her brows tightened, she grinded her teeth, and finally said: "The bed in that ward is lying on the ...... It's likeγIt's like the ...... of the team next door."
The short-haired woman pronounced a name, but Bai Su didn't recognize her.
There are still too many people in the special department, and he can't guarantee that he has seen every one, but he can definitely find out from his memory those who have seen and heard the names.
"It's normal that you don't know each other, it's a new transfer to their group after the last auto repair shop, you shouldn't have met each other." Chen Zi's face was a little sad, "I read the information of their group before I came, so I shouldn't have recognized the wrong person." β
In fact, when he walked through the first floor and didn't see a familiar face, Chen Zi was a little uneasy.
She had the impression that even if the members of the team next door came in as patients, they should be the mildest kind, how could they be seen on the third floor, and they were still tied to the bed.
"I remember...... Bai Su recalled, "he seems to be manic too?" It seems to be a bit pica. β
Dr. Hao introduced it like this, and the young man on the hospital bed was lying there in a daze, and he didn't look like he had the symptoms he said.
"His eyes don't have much light, and he doesn't react to you."
"That's what worries me as well...... What the hell he's been through here. β
At full risk, the team next door would come in no more than five days earlier than them, maybe about three days.
Bai Su saw that Chen Zi was really worried, so he asked her if she wanted to go and see it again.
"Anyway, there's no other arrangement for the next little time, is there?"
"Where did the last owner who stayed in the room study the house go? Or go back to the area where the patient lives? β
"You've got to have a choice, right?"
Bai Su looked at the human, waiting for the person to make a decision.
β¦β¦
In the end, I still stood here.
They stood in the corridor where the patient was hospitalized, and Chen Zi said that she still wanted to confirm the identity of the person, and she had glanced in the ward in front of her, and there were many details that she had not yet seen.
Bai Su sighed in his heart that human beings are very reckless, but he didn't refuse, and came with him.
To his right was the nurse's station, and the nurse sitting behind him had glanced at them several times, seemingly glancing at the badge on their chest, confirming it several times, but it didn't make her stand up immediately.
Chen Zi walked over to express her intentions, and she didn't say that she was going to see in the ward, but for the purpose of collecting materials, she wanted to ask the nurse about the patient.
"Take." The nurse repeated in a flat tone, "We can't expose the patient's privacy. β
"Ah no, I just wanted to ask when these patients came in, just now Dr. Hao said it too quickly and didn't remember." Chen Zifu smiled twice, and the whole person propped up on the table, "At that time, Dr. Hao told us about the symptoms of these people, and how long they have been in, I just went back to record it, and found that it was confused." β
As she spoke, the short-haired woman waved the pen and paper in her hand, indicating that a good memory is better than a bad pen.
Half of what Chen Zi said was right, such as his illness and daily performance, but the doctor, surnamed Hao, did not say when he would enter the hospital.
The nurse at the nurses' station also glanced at Chen Zi suspiciously several times, but did not see any weak expression on the latter's face.
The nurse thought about it and gave Chen Zi a supplementary explanation.
The two were communicating over there, but Bai Su's attention was not on them.
He stood a little away from the short-haired woman and looked to the other side of the corridor outside the room.
At the end of the hallway, there was a figure holding a mop, unaware of the broom.
Why look at the past? Because he cares a little, this feeling is......
The black-haired young man glanced at the two of them at the nurse's station, they were in close communication and didn't mean to look at him.
No, the nurse seemed to glance at him again, still at the badge on his chest.
didn't say hello to Chen Zi, Bai Su took a step.
The upper of the shoe did not make any sound when it touched the ground, and even when he walked past the person, he could not feel much breathing if the other person did not look up.
When Bai Su was halfway through, the figure that was sweeping at the end of the corridor suddenly turned around and glanced in the direction where Bai Su was.
Then, the figure froze for a moment.
How......? Bai Su tilted his head.
The figure paused for a second, then quickly raised the cleaning tool in his hand, lifted the bucket farther away, and ran away.
There was also a staircase on the other side of the hallway, and the figure sped into the stairwell.
When Bai Su walked over, there was no one in the stairwell with the green sign hanging the emergency exit.
The black-haired young man propped up the half-open door, and his knuckles knocked twice on the door.
It's not that what...... Was the driver who came to pick him up last time to take him to the garage?
Why did he run?
I've been running to the hospital for a while, thinking, and I feel that there is not much time to see a doctor, and I'm all waiting in line for a number and waiting for a check-up ()
