Just as I was about to start the car, I saw a jeep driving towards the door, slamming the brakes in front of the door, and making a harsh braking noise.

I don't need to look at people, I can tell who is coming from this sturdy driving habit.

Sure enough, Liang Yue poked his head out from the driver's side and waved at us: "Bosses Li, the professor and the fat man, where are you going? Take me with you?"

I said, "Go to the mental hospital, are you going?"

"Hey, Li Yang. You are going too far. I kindly ask you, what's your attitude?" Liang Yue yelled at me with her eyes wide open.

The third uncle next to him laughed and explained: "Yue girl, you misunderstood him this time. He is really going to the mental hospital, and he didn't mean to say that to annoy you."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yue questioned, "Really...really going to a mental hospital? What are you doing there?"

I waved my hand: "Of course it's true. We're going to do business. I don't have time to receive you today. You can come back another day."

"Going to a psychiatric hospital sounds like fun. I've been busy with company affairs these days, and I'm bored to death. Why don't I drive you there?" Liang Yue seemed to have no place she dared not go to. She heard that she was going to a mental hospital. Courtyard, instead, it aroused her interest.

The third uncle hurriedly said, "That's just right. I'll drive the car away, and Li Yang and Lao Ma will take Yueyue's car, let's split up."

At the order of the third uncle, we started to act in three ways.

Ma Di and I got into Liang Yue's car, and I muttered, "A girl's house, even dare to go to a mental hospital..."

Liang Yue said disdainfully: "Tch, what is a mental hospital? After all, isn't it also a hospital? What's so scary?"

Liang Yue drove the car out of the Art Academy, turned to me and asked, "Hey, how do I get there?"

"I heard it's in Xiaolingzi." I replied.

"Where is Xiaolingzi?"

I stared at Liang Yue: "You don't know the way, so what are you doing with this package ticket?"

Chapter 456 Target Xiaolingzi

Liang Yue blinked her big eyes and said in surprise: "I didn't say I knew the way, I just said I would drive you there."

Ma Di said from behind: "Let's go, I know the way, it's not close to here, and it takes a long time to walk."

Liang Yue nodded, leaning on the steering wheel, followed the direction Ma Di pointed, and quickly left the urban area and walked on a road around the city.

After getting on the road, I first reminded Liang Yue: "Let's not hurry, you should drive slowly, the old horse is not young, if you break it, you will have to take responsibility."

I will never forget that when my third uncle and I took Liangyue car to the neighboring city for the first time, we were vomited by her driving all the way.

Liang Yue curled her lips, although the speed of the car was not slow, but the driving was quite disciplined.

We drove around the ring road for nearly three or four hours before we drove onto a provincial road under the guidance of Ma Di.

It was already noon, and Ma Di said that it would take at least two hours to reach the destination.We could only eat some food in the towns we passed, and then we continued on our way.

The provincial road is not difficult to walk, and there are not many cars on the road.The scenery on both sides of the road was also very good. Liang Yue opened the skylight, and the blue sky and white clouds above were mixed with the shadows of the sycamore trees on both sides, and her mood brightened instantly.Liang Yue played music in the car again, which made our destination not like going to a mental hospital, but a pleasant self-driving trip.

The car kept driving on the provincial road, and I asked as I walked, "Old Ma, you know this Xiaoling, have you been here before?"

Ma Di nodded: "Come here."

"Have you been here? What are you doing here?" I questioned.

"Do you still remember Fang Jiaming who disappeared at that time? The police have been investigating this matter. Then I forgot how long it was, and suddenly informed me to come here to identify someone, saying that Fang Jiaming might be in this mental hospital. But then I After arriving, I found out that the person was not Fang Jiaming, maybe the police made a mistake." Ma Di said.

I nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that the third uncle's blind arrangement is just right. It just so happens that you know the way and have been here before. This saves us a lot of trouble."

Ma Di looked at the surrounding environment and said: "It has been many years since I said this, and things are different here. It's not bad that I can find this place with my memory. As for the mental hospital, I should help Nothing to do."

The car continued to drive on the provincial highway, and I asked Ma Su again: "Since that person wasn't Fang Jiaming last time, why did you ask him to identify him? Can't the police identify him?"

Ma Di shook his head: "I didn't understand either. That person's appearance was nothing like Fang Jiaming's, and his registered name was not Fang Jiaming. I really don't know how the police took him as Fang Jiaming. Later, I really didn't understand. I wanted to mention those things, but I didn’t ask any more. After I identified them, I went back. No one contacted me after that, and I didn’t mention this past again until you came.”

On the way here, Liang Yue was very curious about our purpose of coming to the mental hospital, asking left and right, almost asking everything we knew clearly.So what happened around the old house of the fertilizer factory, as well as Yin Wen, the ghost beast, and everything that Ma Su witnessed at that time, she now knows all about it.

While driving, Liang Yue said, "Can we visit patients casually in this kind of mental hospital?"

Ma Su shook his head and said: "As far as I know, I'm afraid it's not that easy. I don't know about other mental hospitals, but this hospital is probably not easy to visit. Because the people who live here are all seriously ill patients, and the hospital prohibits their family members. Casual visits. The reason is that the patient has not been effectively controlled in the hospital, or that compulsory measures are being implemented, such as bundling or other measures, and the family members will be unhappy when they see them. It will have an impact on treatment, so the hospital's refusal to visit is also a good idea, and there are reasons for it."

Liang Yue said: "Then we came here for nothing? Relatives may not be able to see him. We are not related to him, and the hospital won't allow us to see him."

I smiled: "Not necessarily. Look at this..."

With that said, I took out the things I was carrying in my pocket and handed them to Ma Di.

It was a letter of introduction issued by the local public security organ, and two temporary documents issued by the public security organ.The introduction letter stated that we came here to cooperate with the police in investigating the case of wounding people in the old house.Because this case has become an unsolved case, and this crazy person is also the only survivor.So the police have not given up monitoring him.

On the day I went to the Institute of Paleontology to look for Ma Di, the third uncle was not idle, he went to find the leader who often helped him.Coincidentally, that leader happened to be appointed as the deputy mayor of the neighboring city these two days, and he was very proud of himself.Ever since he got to know Third Uncle, he has been really smooth in his official career.Although the third uncle didn't play a bullshit role in his promotion.But that leader has one mind, that is, he regards third uncle as his nobleman.

So the third uncle asked him for help, and he agreed without thinking about it.

In my opinion, it's almost as if the leader is the nobleman of the third uncle.

The third uncle asked the leader to introduce himself to the police, saying that he could help them solve the murder case.Because the police really had no clue about the case, coupled with the attention of the leaders above, and more importantly, the third uncle bluffed people after he went there for a while with his own mouth.The police also put Bao on the third uncle. When they heard that the third uncle was going to investigate the patient in the mental hospital, they immediately issued him a letter of introduction and two temporary certificates.

Third Uncle gave me this letter of introduction when he was about to leave in the morning.He told me that with the letter of introduction and temporary certificate, I can enter the mental hospital for investigation.It's just that he wanted to investigate with himself and me at the time, and he didn't expect Ma Di to come, let alone Liang Yue would follow us to the mental hospital, so he didn't prepare an extra ID.But I guess with that letter of introduction, it shouldn't be a big problem for the three of us to get in smoothly.

Sure enough, when Ma Di saw the letter of introduction, he praised his third uncle in a rare way: "Your third uncle is just an old fox. There is nothing he can't figure out."

I smiled. From Ma Su's mouth, this is definitely considered a recognition of the third uncle.

Soon, the car turned a corner, and a not-so-high slope appeared in front of it, and a castle-like building appeared on the high slope.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the sky, and the background of the castle was just that golden glow.At this moment, Liang Yue and I were greatly impressed by this scene.

Chapter 457 The Fatty White Man in the Castle

Seeing the castle-like building aroused the fairy tale dream in Liang Yue's heart.

"Look, that's the castle...it's so beautiful...why didn't I know there was such a place? Shall we go and play..." Liang Yue would probably jump up excitedly if she wasn't driving.

"Is it beautiful? That's the mental hospital."

Unexpectedly, Ma Di's words made Liang Yue quiet down immediately.

Castle, prince, fairy tale... What a beautiful word, once it is associated with a mental hospital, it is not so comfortable.

Although we all know that mental illness is nothing more than a serious psychological disorder.The patient's cognition, emotion, volition, behavior and other psychological activities may appear persistent and obvious abnormalities, and he cannot study, work and live normally, and his behavior is difficult to be understood by ordinary people.Therefore, people with mental illness should be understood by the society. They are vulnerable groups who need help.

But since none of us work on mental illness, there is still more or less resistance to this word.Isn't there another saying for a mental hospital called a lunatic asylum?It certainly wouldn't be a nice place in our opinion.

Liang Yue still couldn't believe it. She turned to Ma Di in the back seat and asked, "Old Ma, are you serious? Is this castle a mental hospital?"

When Liang Yue got excited, the steering wheel turned slightly, and the car rushed towards the nearby tree.

I was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly shouted to be careful.

Liang Yue quickly turned around and straightened the steering wheel.Ma Di was not wearing a seat belt in the back seat, and due to inertia, was swung from the left side of the back seat to the right side.

Ma Di said with lingering fear: "Why are you so excited? Is appearance so important? No matter whether the appearance is a castle or something, it can't change the essence of it as a mental hospital. I have been to this place before, how can I make a mistake?"

Liang Yue didn't speak any more, and drove the car along a side road, up a high slope, and headed straight for the castle-like mental hospital.

I was amused in my heart. In fact, Liang Yue looks strong and self-reliant. Whether she is working in the company or in her daily life, she looks very strong.In fact, she is still a small woman in her heart.It seems that every girl has a beautiful fairy tale dream in her heart since childhood.They fantasize about romance and beautiful encounters.There are always princes and princesses living in the castle, it should not be a place for the mentally ill.

It is estimated that Ma Di will never experience this feeling.

The car drove along the winding dirt road until it reached the gate of the castle.

When we got closer, we found that this castle-like building should also be an old building. The blue bricks on it have lost their luster, and it is full of vicissitudes at first glance.The castle is tall and majestic, and there should be a whole set of yards behind it. The gate is the kind of thick and sturdy wooden gate, and there is a sign beside the gate, which says Xiaolingzi Hospital.From the closed door, not even a single bit of information can be seen inside, and all kinds of mysteries and unknowns inside are displayed to the fullest.

Ma Di said: "This castle should have been built by foreigners who came to China in the 40s and [-]s. After the liberation, the foreigners withdrew, and the place was directly used as a mental hospital."

I nodded: "This building must have taken a lot of effort in the first place. It's a pity that it was demolished. It's just that it's a bit too nondescript to be regarded as a mental hospital."

Liang Yue said angrily: "What nonsense, it's a waste of money."

After speaking, Liang Yue looked at the time and asked, "It's almost four o'clock, shall we go?"

I nodded: "Go, it's all here. If we don't go, we have to go back to the nearby town. Knock on the door first to see what's going on."

Ma Di nodded, walked up, looked at the side of the gate, and said, "It's okay, this place hasn't been changed. There's a doorbell here, you can press it to see if it works or not."

After speaking, Ma Di stretched out his hand and rang the doorbell next to the door.

It may be that it is very big inside, and Ma Di rang the doorbell, but we couldn't hear anything from outside.I don't know if this thing is still working.

Ma Di kept pressing the button for 10 minutes, but there was no intention of asking someone to come out.

I shook my head: "Old Ma, the doorbell is broken, right? I'll knock on the door and try."

As a result, at this moment, the door suddenly rang, and when we were stunned, the door creaked and opened a crack.

I was walking in front of the crack of the door, and as the door opened, a cold air from inside just hit my face.But that cold breath quickly disappeared.

I am very puzzled, this is a mental hospital, how can there be such a cold wind?

Half of his body protruded from the crack of the door, and the person who opened the door was a short and fat man in his 30s. He was not tall, less than 1.7 meters, but weighed at least nearly 180 catties, and his body was also very stocky.Proportionally speaking, he was fatter than Pang Dahai.

I just met this dumpy man, and we haven't had much communication yet.But I get the feeling that something is wrong with this guy, it looks weird.

The short fat man was a little dazed when he saw us outside the door.When he opened the door a little more, his whole body was exposed.His complete face is also presented in front of us.

I finally knew what was wrong with him, and it was his skin.

His skin is very white.As far as Liang Yue's skin is fair enough, this short fat man's skin is even fairer than Liang Yue's.Liang Yue's fair complexion is natural.And this fat man's white face doesn't look very healthy, that face is miserable white, without any blood color, more like suffering from some serious illness.On the contrary, his eyeballs were full of blood lines, and the whole body was red, looking almost like a vampire.

Seeing his honor, I subconsciously took a step back.

The fat man glanced at us and said, "Visiting is not allowed here. If you want to visit, you need to apply first."

Fatty Bai's voice was also very thin, which didn't match his figure.

I hurriedly said, "We are here to find a patient. Here is our letter of introduction and documents."

With that said, I handed over the letter of introduction and temporary certificate in my hand.

Fatty Bai took the letter of introduction, glanced at it, and flipped through the two temporary documents.The stamps of the police were stamped on those things. After looking at them, he looked at us again and asked, "Are you... are the police?"

I nodded: "That's right. We're working for the police."

The fat man returned the certificate to me, but held the letter of introduction in his hand, and said, "I have to report this to the dean, you guys are waiting here."

Chapter 458 Dean Chen Yuting

Just as I was about to go up to say something, the fat white man closed the door with a bang.The door nearly knocked my nose flat.

"Hey, what's your attitude?" Liang Yue shouted angrily from behind.

But there was no response from the other side of the gate.

"This is a veritable mental hospital. Even the janitor is so weird. I don't think he was also infected with mental illness?" Liang Yue muttered.

Ma Di didn't say much all the time, now he came to the door, put his ear on the door and listened carefully.

Liang Yue was talking, and when she noticed Ma Di's movements, she pointed at Ma Di and asked me in a low voice: "Hey, what is Ma Di listening to?"

In fact, I also noticed a problem. I guess the old horse's discovery is similar to my feeling.

I also whispered to Liang Yue: "There is something wrong with that fat man."

Liang Yue was taken aback: "Is he really mentally ill?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Let me ask you, did you hear the fat man's footsteps?"

"Footsteps?" Liang Yue thought about it carefully, and instantly understood what I meant: "Ah, yes, it seems that there is no sound. I didn't hear his footsteps coming, nor did I hear his footsteps leaving."

I nodded, that's the problem.

That fat white man weighs about two hundred catties, if he walks, his steps should be very heavy.At this time, the surroundings are completely silent, even if we are outside the door, we should be able to hear it clearly.

If the fat man came here on foot, there's no reason why we couldn't hear him at all.

In particular, he took our letter of introduction and was going to show it to the dean.He should have heard footsteps gradually leaving.

Ma Di clung to the door and listened for a long time, then came over and shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I can't hear anything, there is no movement inside."

I was also sweating on my forehead. I didn't expect to come here, and before I saw the crazy victim, I encountered such a bizarre incident.

The three of us got together and were more curious about this matter.I analyzed: "We didn't hear his footsteps, there are two possibilities... one is...he didn't come here at all..."

"Didn't you come here? How did you come here?" Liang Yue asked with wide eyes.

"Float over here." Ma Su said.

"Gone...Ghost...Ghost?" Liang Yue responded and said in a low voice.
