The murderer used a clever rope to make Wang Dahai commit suicide in a fit of anger, let him strangle himself, and left a badge pendant representing justice at the scene after committing the crime.

Based on the clues we have so far, it is very likely that this murder case is related to the case from 20 years ago, and I decided to visit the survivors of the case.

In the past 20 years, many things have changed, some of the police officers who participated in the investigation of the case have retired, some have been transferred, and even the victim of that case has changed from a young girl to a woman.

The only thing that has not changed is the indelible shadow that the case has brought to the victims.

According to the information on the file, the victim's name was An An, who was only 21 years old at the time, and after the incident, she was severely mentally shocked, became a stupid person, and was sent to a local psychiatric hospital for recuperation.

In the past 20 years, after the relocation and integration of the psychiatric hospital, the information of the original psychiatric hospital can no longer be found, and An An has no whereabouts, and may even be no longer in the world.

Under the constant contact of Su Yumei, the head of the Qingfeng City Criminal Police, we finally found An An, who is now recuperating at the Qingfeng Neuropsychological Specialized Hospital.

I decided to go and visit An An, maybe I'll get some clues.

In order not to frighten An An, Li Meng and I came to Qingfeng Neuropsychological Specialist Hospital in civilian clothes. After communicating with the dean, we met An An sitting in the psychological counseling room accompanied by the doctor, An An sat in a wheelchair and looked at us in a daze.

She is forty-one years old this year, and although twenty years have passed, her appearance is still stuck at the age of twenty-one, and there is almost no change. She wore a hospital gown, and her waist-length hair was changed to a clean and simple ear-length short hair, which is a mandatory rule in psychiatric hospitals to prevent potential threats such as self-harm.

An An sat on the chair, her mood was very stable, and although her eyes were a little dull, she also showed the same light as ordinary people. As long as there is light in her eyes, it means that there is still hope in her heart.

"If it weren't for that disaster, she would have been the child's mother by now, with a happy family." Li Meng looked at An An with a somewhat lonely expression.

This is also the most helpless thing for us as a criminal policeman, we can bring the prisoner to justice, but we cannot help the victim heal the trauma in his heart.

"How's she feeling right now?" I asked the doctor next to Xiang An'an.

"Her current condition is quite stable, and I heard from the attending physician who treated her before that An An was already delirious when she first arrived, and she was very resistant to treatment, and often had symptoms of victimization delusions such as auditory hallucinations and hallucinations. There is a serious disorder of thinking forms, incoherent speech, and incoherent speech. Emotional abnormalities are very obvious, and mood swings are extremely high. The doctor sat next to An An and said softly.

An An turned her head, looked at the doctor very calmly, and then looked up at us, and unconsciously, tears welled up in her eyes.

I saw the name plate on the chest of the doctor's white coat that his name was Liu Xin, and he was currently the attending physician of An An.

"When did you become an attending physician?" I asked.

"I became her attending physician five years ago, and when I took over, her condition had improved a lot and she was very cooperative with our treatment. Perception has been largely restored, and verbal auditory hallucinations and hallucinations rarely occur. The most important thing is that her emotional abnormality is also slowly recovering, and she basically does not have large mood swings, but often sits alone by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window and crying. Her main symptoms are still thinking disorders, cognitive impairment and volitional behavior disorders, which are manifested by the inability to remember many things, obvious loss of will and memory. Liu Xin said to us seriously.

I looked at An An, turned my head and asked, "What is her daily life and treatment?" ”

"We will provide her with three nutritious meals a day, in addition to the normal daily medical treatment, we will carry out mental health rehabilitation once every three days, and after lunch, we will take her out to bask in the sun and see the scenery for perceptual training. Wash your hair once every three days and take a shower once every six days. Liu Xin said very carefully without any hesitation, because every patient here is like this.

"Can An An communicate normally now?" I asked again.

Liu Xin pursed her lips and shook her head a little helplessly: "Not yet, she can't fully understand what we're talking about, she can only communicate simply, if you want her to recall some things, it's basically impossible." ”

At this moment, a young female nurse pushed the door and walked in, looked at us, then at Liu Xin, and said softly, "Doctor Liu, it's time to take An An out for rehabilitation training." ”

The rehabilitation training she is talking about is to take An An out to bask in the sun, see the scenery, and slowly recover her perceptual ability.

"I'll do it."

Li Meng stepped forward with a smile, squatted in front of An An, and asked softly, "An An, will I take you out?" ”

An An looked at Li Meng, the corners of his mouth slowly rose, and he nodded happily.

This picture is very harmonious and beautiful, An An is nearly twenty years older than Li Meng, but he looks at Li Meng with a very childish gaze.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the nurse, Li Meng pushed the wheelchair and took An An out.

"Dr. Liu, take me on a tour of here." I stood up, and the room was a little cold compared to the sun outside.

"Officer Qin, please come here."

After An An left, Liu Xin called me by the title of police officer.

The psychiatric hospital covers a large area, and Liu Xin said that it was originally a prison, but later it was converted into a psychiatric hospital, and the various psychiatric hospitals in the city were integrated to achieve its current size.

I have a very good feeling for the predecessor of this prison, but for the mentally ill, why is this not a prison? Wang Dahai has been in prison for 20 years, An An has also spent 20 years in a psychiatric hospital, Wang Dahai can be released after completing his sentence, and An An does not know how many more twenty years he will spend here.

The whole hospital is divided into two areas, one is the living area, which is responsible for the clothing, food, housing and transportation of patients. Part of it is a medical area, with corresponding departments, and like a normal hospital, there are both internal medicine and surgery. There is also a psychological counseling room, where a professional psychologist will give you a treatment plan according to the patient's condition.

Following in Liu Xin's footsteps, I visited the medical area, where the medical equipment is very modern and very attentive to the feelings of the patients, and there are no bad hospitals exposed on TV that perform frontal lobotomy on mentally ill patients, turning them into walking corpses.

Such a hospital, presumably the cost should not be low,

I was about to speak when I heard a crisp sound from the medical room next to me, followed by a piercing scream......
