Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Are you allergic to drugs?" Chen Zhao asked.

"No," Plummer said.

Chen Zhao took out a small amount of sedative, but he didn't dare to use it more. After all, it was his first time contacting a patient.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao discovered that there were traces of surgical sutures on the back of Lin En's head.

"Has she had surgery recently?"

"I don't know." Plummer and Sandra were both confused: "She was out for a year, and we don't know what she went through during this year."

"When Lynn came back, she didn't tell us where she had been this year."

"Ah..." Suddenly, Linn jumped up suddenly, and the rope that originally bound her hands broke.

Chen Zhao quickly pushed Lin En back on the bed and looked back at Plummer and Sandra: "She is really strong."

Both of them looked embarrassed and smiled with embarrassed expressions.

The pathogenesis of epilepsy is very complex, and most of it is caused by abnormal discharge of neurons.

Some patients with epilepsy are ineffective in drugs and conventional treatments, such as Lynn.

Even anti-epileptic drugs couldn't bring her back to normal.

Chen Zhao said: "There is now a vagus nerve stimulator, which is implanted into the patient's body and connected to the vagus nerve with a metal wire. It stimulates the vagus nerve by moving the frequency and intensity of the discharge, thereby preventing the onset of epilepsy. The effect is relatively good ."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen, here is five hundred dollars. Thank you for helping us treat Lynn."

"No, goodbye." Chen Zhao refused the consultation fee.

Chen Zhao took a look at Plummer and Sandra's family situation. Their family situation didn't look very good either.

As for the vagus nerve stimulation treatment Chen Zhao mentioned, their family probably cannot afford it.

The price of a vagus nerve stimulator needs to be at least 20,000 US dollars, plus the cost of surgery, treatment, hospitalization, etc., the total cost is at least 30,000 US dollars.

After Chen Zhao walked out of the door, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes looking at him.

Chen Zhao looked up and looked into the distance. He saw a man wearing casual clothes and a hood.

The man had a lollipop in his mouth.

The man noticed Chen Zhao's gaze and immediately turned his head.

Chen Zhao picked up the phone and dialed Leonardo's number.

"Leonardo, I found that there seems to be a suspicious person in Dashan Town. Come over and help me investigate that person."

"Okay, no problem, I happen to be in town."

Not long after, Chen Zhao saw Leonardo's police car parked in front of the man.

The man suddenly turned around and ran away. Leonardo gave chase, but he came back soon. It seemed that he lost the chase.

Chen Zhao walked to Leonardo's police car: "How are you? Didn't you catch him?"

Leonardo was panting from exhaustion: "I didn't catch up, that guy ran too fast."

"I just came out of that house, and then I found that person. Look closely. I feel that person has ill intentions towards that house." Chen Zhao said.

"Hey, it's from this family."

"Well, what's wrong, do you know this family?"

"I came to this family last year, when their daughter was missing for a month, and I came to write notes for the couple."

"You were missing for a month before calling the police?"

"It wasn't them who called the police, it was her friends."

Chen Zhao glanced at the couple's house. Their daughter had been missing for a month, but they didn't call the police?

Even if the American imperialists have relatively loose supervision over their adult children, it’s not so lenient, right?

"Do you know their daughter is back?"

"Oh? Are you back?"

Chen Zhao had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

But after all, it was not his own business, and Chen Zhao didn't bother to ask.

The two of them would sit in the police car and chat, and they would get together for drinks basically once a month.

"Chen, when will you go out to drink again?"

"Maybe not recently. Fali is pregnant and she won't let me drink."

"Okay, three seconds of silence for you."

"Shouldn't you say that if you drink secretly, it's okay as long as Fali doesn't find you?"

"Next time it's my treat. Considering how much you and David drink, I think it's good to have one less person."

"We'll break up our relationship. We'll break up our relationship."

Leonardo sent Chen Zhao home.

But he was still on duty, so he didn't stay.

Fali was still doing yoga at the door: "Chen, there is your express package. Was it Leonardo just now? Why didn't you ask him to come in and sit down?"

"He's still working." Chen Zhao saw a box in the living room with a seal.

Chen Zhao opened the box and found another wooden box inside.

I opened the wooden box and found a letter and a columnar metal object inside.

Chen Zhao glanced at the envelope in his hand and took out the letter.

This is Finidi's letter: "Mr. Chen, I found this from a ruins. It is a very valuable antiquities. I give it to you as a souvenir, your friend Finidi."

Strange letters, strange gifts.

I don’t seem to have such a good relationship with Finidi, right?

She found a valuable antique and mailed it to herself.

Chen Zhao picked up the metal artifact. This metal artifact was very delicately made.

The metal utensils are divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers. The outer layer is engraved with many pictures and there are some holes on it.

There is a rotating handle that can rotate the inner metal wall.

It looks like a manual rotating kaleidoscope.

Chen Zhao tried to shake the handle, but it was stuck and seemed unable to move.

"Tsk...what the hell, it's still bad."

Chen Zhao casually threw the metal object on the table: "It would be more practical to give some gold and silver jewelry."

Chen Zhao shook his head in disappointment.

"Babbling..." Little Gelin crawled to Chen Zhao's feet: "I want... I want..."

Little Gelin stretched out her hand, as if she wanted the metal object on the table.

Every time little Gelin saw something she wanted to nibble on, her little mouth would open and close, and then she would make baba sounds.

At first, Chen Zhao thought that little Ge Lin was calling him.

Only now do I realize that I am being sentimental.

Chen Zhao picked up the metal object and placed it in front of little Ge Lin: "Can you handle it?"

This metal object is not heavy for adults, but with little Ge Lin's small arms and legs, Chen Zhao was really worried that she would smash herself.

Little Gelin picked up the metal object with both hands and put it in her mouth to bite.

At this moment, the top cover of the metal object suddenly clicked and became loose.

Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment. Can the top cover of this thing be opened?

A dry, old scroll fell out from it.

Chen Zhao picked up the scroll and looked at it. There was nothing on it.

"What are Finidi doing, making a mess and playing guessing games with yourself?"

At this moment, the guardian angel landed on the scroll, and the faint light from her body shone on the scroll, and a route appeared, but as soon as it flew away, the pattern disappeared.
