monologue

The news that Yang Weiyuan's daughter is going to get married has almost spread in the police circle. Everyone is waiting to see if Li Yaomin, director of the Qing City Public Security Bureau, will attend the wedding of the ex-leader's daughter. Zhou Jinlin has been dead for five years, and Yang Weiyuan has retired to the front line for five years. In [-], Li Yaomin was promoted to the director of the Public Security Bureau for five years, and Wu Huanshan was promoted to the deputy director for five years. There were too many things that happened in the five years. For an ordinary wedding banquet, everyone present was not ordinary.

Waking up in the morning, Chu Xingmu took the invitation out of the briefcase and put it into the gift he and Wen Ti bought the night before. Wen Ti was arranging her hair in front of the mirror in the bathroom, and Chu Xingmu gave Wen Daju and Chu Da Ha poured cat food and dog food into his rice bowl, pinched his nose and changed the cat litter. After changing the cat litter, when he went to the bathroom to wash his hands, he found that Wen Ti was extra careful this morning. Her hair was half tied up and she was wearing a suit. The set with the darkest color, Chu Xingmu thinks it’s okay, but Wen Ti still thinks it’s not decent enough.

Chu Xingmu washed his hands and said to him: "Just go to the mental hospital to see a mental patient, just wear casual clothes."

Wen Ti paused for a moment with the hand holding the tie, then looked back at Chu Xingmu and said with a smile, "Why don't you dress up when you want to go home."

When Chu Xingmu heard this, he didn't understand the meaning. When Wen Ti came out of the bathroom, Chu Xingmu realized it. Wen Ti grew up in Nanjia, and Chu Xingmu only knew what happened in those six years. For a small part, Wen Ti resisted Nanjia Mental Hospital in his heart. He went back that time only for the matter of Zhongming Tower. Zhongming Tower is the most important existence in Wen Ti's life, and Wen Ti returned to Nanjia this time for Chu Xingmu of.

Even if Captain Chu is full of self-confidence and even a little narcissistic, he still can't guess how much weight he has in Wen Ti's heart, but this time Wen Ti is willing to go back to the place he has hated for more than ten years for him, Chu Xingmu Still very happy, he stood at the door of the bathroom with a razor in his hand and shouted, "Teacher Wen, please help me choose two gorgeous clothes. I can't embarrass you if you look so good-looking."

Ten minutes later, Wen Ti sat on the co-pilot with half a cup of soy milk, took a sip, and commented: "The smell of beans is too strong, it's not good to drink."

"It's a little worse than mine, and I can drink it." Chu Xingmu took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and started to reverse the car.

At the beginning, Wen Ti refused to eat in the car, but since commuting with Chu Xingmu, even he can't remember what he said before, "The smell of gasoline mixed with the smell of food is disgusting". If Chu Xingmu was an ordinary office worker, he might be able to find a breakfast restaurant with an elegant environment to have a peaceful breakfast in the morning, but he is a policeman, and he would run to the police station and the scene of the crime as soon as he opened his eyes. Which case is delayed, where is the time to be so particular about breakfast like Wen Ti, Wen Ti also lowered his standards when she learned to understand him, for example: to save time and eat breakfast in the car.

"Will uncle and aunt go to the wedding too?"

"My dad and Uncle Yang are old friends, they will definitely go."

"Two days ago, Zhong Changxin invited Professor Mu Fang to attend the meeting the day after tomorrow. Professor Mu Fang said that he would attend a wedding banquet the day after tomorrow, and the meeting was postponed."

"Professor Mu Fang, my father, Uncle Yang, and Ju Li all know each other. Professor Mu Fang started to cooperate with Zhou Jinlin when he was the captain of the criminal police. Uncle Yang followed Zhou Jinlin all the way. The two have been friends and partners for decades. , My dad and Li Ju are classmates, from the same school."

"It seems that this wedding is attended by big names."

"The former big shot." Chu Xingmu said.

"I haven't met my uncle yet." Wen Ti has been in touch with Xi Rui, and every time she returns to Changqing University, Wen Ti will go to the teaching building to see Xi Rui, sometimes just to say hello to her.

"My father is only Comrade Xi Rui."

Chu Xingmu didn't know before that his father was a strict wife, as long as Xi Rui said yes, he didn't dare to say no. In order to make Xi Rui happy, Comrade Chu voluntarily lowered his family status and was second only to Chu Daha.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti arrived in Nanjia on time. Wednesday happened to be the open day of family visits in Nanjia Mental Hospital. Generally, there are no special regulations on family visits in mental hospitals. They can enter at any time. Considering the safety of visitors, there will be a few more regulations on visiting conditions. After all, there are more violent mental patients living there, and no one can guarantee when they will get sick. In the early years, several family members were injured by violent mental patients. .

Chu Xingmu walked to the entrance of Nanjia Psychiatric Hospital. The parking spaces on both sides of the hospital entrance were full, and there were many people queuing up for inspection at the gate. There were only one or two security guards before, but today there are five.

"Why is the investigation so strict today? If I knew there were many people, I would have come at another time. I didn't know that Nanjia could have so many people before." Chu Xingmu muttered.

Wen Ti put the ID in Chu Xingmu's hand, took his suit jacket and said: "Wednesday is a visiting day, and there will be more people. It is much easier for the police to enter and leave the mental hospital than ordinary family members."

The two turned around and went to line up. After waiting for about 10 minutes, it was finally their turn. The security guard in the duty room stretched out his head and glanced at the people walking outside. Chu Xingmu stepped forward and handed his and Wen Ti's IDs into the duty room. When he came last time, there was a male security guard in his forties in the duty room. This time it was an old man in his 60s. Chu Xingmu said a few words to him.

Wen Ti walked behind Chu Xingmu, looked into the security room, and then he walked in front of Chu Xingmu, and called out to the window of the security room: "Grandpa Liang."

Chu Xingmu looked at them suspiciously, and the old security guard whom Wen Ti called Grandpa Liang looked at Wen Ti in surprise with his eyes stuck to the window, and he asked suspiciously, "You are?"

"The little boy who used to stand at the door every day asking if you could go out to play." Wen Ti said with a smile.

The old security guard lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly realized, he quickly opened the window, and now he could see the people outside clearly, Chu Xingmu took two steps back, not to disturb Wen Ti talking to that Grandpa Liang.

"Wen Ti! You have grown so big?" the old security guard said in surprise.

"I came here last time, but I didn't see you. I thought you had retired. There are a lot of people today. Let's talk again when we have time. Goodbye, Grandpa Liang." Wen Ti took them over from the old security guard. He nodded and apologized to the old security guard, then grabbed Chu Xingmu's arm and walked in.

Chu Xingmu put the ID back into his pocket, walked beside Wen Ti and asked him, "Are you familiar with that old man?"

"When I first came to Nanjia, I wanted to go out every day. There were no toys or friends here. Although I didn't like these things, I instinctively felt that this place was not good at that time, so I ran to the gate every evening to look at the road outside. , I hope that one day the security guards will let me out."

The old security guard couldn't bear to see Wen Ti coming every day, but he could only take Wen Ti into the duty room and give him two candies or a cup of cool white boiled with white sugar, and told him not to cry or make trouble, that Wen Ti was only four years old at the time, and he only made trouble when he saw doctors and nurses. The old security guard was one of the few people who heard Wen Ti speak before he was four years old. Thinking that Wen Ti is dumb, it wasn't until Zhong Minglou moved into Nanjia a year later that Wen Ti began to express her thoughts in words.

Every time he comes here, he deliberately strips himself out of here. He wants to separate his childhood from the present. He wears a decent suit, behaves gracefully and politely, and throws away the old hospital clothes. The little boy who grew up in Nanjia has become In the past, he followed the advice given to him by Zhongminglou, and grew up alone with the way Zhongminglou taught him how to accept society and how to survive in society. He hated everything in Nanjia, hated it from the bottom of his heart, because every time he came Once those memories were clearer.

Wen Ti has always had a faint smile on his face since he entered Nanjia, and he doesn't look like he hates coming here at all. With a hundred times of patience and observation, Chu Xingmu held Wen Ti's hand when he noticed the uneasiness and tension that Wen Ti was hiding. No matter whether it was winter or summer, his hand was always cold.

Wen Ti relaxed and said, "I thought I hid it well."

"This is your second time coming back?"

"The third time." Wen Ti said, he was familiar with everything about Nanjia.

"When else?"

"During my father's coma in a car accident, Wen Xiangqin took advantage of his connections in the company over the years and his inheritance rights as Wen's eldest son to overwhelm my second uncle to take over Wen's Group, and then he sent me back to Nanjia. "

"I have to fight Wen Xiangqin sooner or later." Chu Xingmu said seriously.

He sent people to monitor Wen Ti since he was a child, and sent Wen Ti back to the mental hospital. Based on his understanding of these two people, Wen Xiangqin was more arrogant. Chu Xingmu has nothing to say to Wen Ti because of the bullshit reason, but if it is because of other reasons, he must talk to Wen Xiangqin.

In Chu Xingmu's place, the friendship of more than ten years is limited to friendship. His feelings are real feelings, no more than those young people who fall in love. Now that he has met Wen Ti, he will protect him no matter what.

Chu Xingmu asked jokingly: "Every time you see and hear about Xiang Qin, you always mock him, so why don't you want to fight with him?"

Wen Ti said: "Mr. Zhong has warned me not to get rough with others since I was a child."

It is true not to be rough with others, it is true that others are ashamed in a few words, and of course, it is also true that they cannot be beaten.

There are many people in the morning, and there are many family members of patients in the two districts besides the doctors and nurses walking outside. Some unharmonious scenes are ignored. This place is not much different from an ordinary hospital. Doctors and nurses take special care of them. Those with mild symptoms are allowed to walk around in the hospital. Chu Xingmu has been to Nanjia so many times, but he has never paid attention to these.

The dancing patients, accompanied by their family members, passed by them. Chu Xingmu held Wen Ti tightly, for fear that the nonsense people passing by would touch him.

Wen Ti took Chu Xingmu to Dr. Qiao's office, and the two waited at the door for other patients to leave the office. Dr. Qiao saw Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu, so he called them in, and he asked the office to go in and deliver the examination report The nurse closed the door and said he was busy if anyone asked.

Every time Chu Xingmu came to Nanjia, he went straight to the guardianship area of ​​the first district, and the visit was rejected countless times. He didn't even think about finding other doctors, because it was difficult to approve the visit application of mentally ill criminals, and he had to find the attending doctor.

Dr. Qiao and Wen Ti greeted each other a few words, before they saw each other, Chu Xingmu thanked first: "Dr. Qiao, thank you first."

Dr. Qiao said with a smile: "I have met Captain Chu many times. Rejection of visits is common in Nanjia. If it is helpful to your case, I would be happy to help. I brought the patient's treatment records over."

Hearing the word "case", Chu Xingmu glanced at Wen Ti, Wen Ti blinked at him, Chu Xingmu understood, he took over the treatment records and browsed through from beginning to end, and the five years of treatment As a result, they had a general understanding. The three of them sat for a while and waited for the number of people outside to gradually increase. Dr. Qiao took Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu from the first district to the second district.

The second district has one advantage over the first district, travel is not restricted, and there are not many family members and patients visiting the first district. Chu Xingmu is not afraid of Li Yaomin asking him to question him after the incident. As long as he sees that person, he will write a hundred self-criticisms. Okay, anyway, Li Yaomin criticized Chu Xingmu at most.

"I've made arrangements inside. You are just ordinary visitors." Dr. Qiao opened the outermost iron gate of the first area and walked in.

Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti followed closely behind. Wen Ti lived in the old ward in the first district before Nanjia had no partitions. Last time he came back, he only went to the second district. There are few people in the first district, whether it is an office building or a mobile room ward. They were all very quiet, and with the sound of the second door being locked, suddenly a piercing cicada sounded above their heads, and then the surrounding trees began to sing choruses one after another.

"The cicadas here are louder than those in the detention center," Chu Xingmu said.

Wen Ti laughed and said, "The people here are also fierce."

Dr. Qiao looked back at them and said, "Two days ago, a medical staff member was stuck in the aorta with a toothpick by a patient. The toothpick was in the fruit plate brought by the visiting family."

Many patients are irritable and irritable. Once they get sick, they will cause great harm to the people around them. Therefore, there are iron net windows everywhere in the first district, even more doors than the first district, and more than twice as much surveillance as the second district.

Dr. Qiao led the two of them into the ward with ease. The doctors and nurses in the first area were going to and from each ward. As soon as they entered the ward area, they heard a few heart-piercing cries. Dr. Qiao was not surprised. , Wen Ti grew up in this environment when he was a child, but it has been nine years since he was discharged from the hospital, and he is not used to hearing this kind of voice suddenly.

Chu Xingmu walked in, and through the window of the treatment room, he saw a group of medical staff surrounding the treatment room. A male patient on the hospital bed struggled to kick and beat the people who swarmed up and held him down.

Seeing the two of them stop, Dr. Qiao explained: "For patients with severe schizophrenia, all the medical staff he sees are monsters with bloody mouths. This is what he described. The condition is serious. The patient didn't even work with sedatives. This patient had a psychotic attack and killed his daughter. He said his daughter was a monster with seaweed and green hair. Every night, he would eat his internal organs. One night he walked away with a knife. Entered his daughter's room and killed his daughter, the deceased died in a miserable state, and he was confused when he explained the process."

"He thinks he is Prometheus?" Chu Xingmu frowned.

"Probably." Dr. Qiao glanced at the treatment room indifferently, and walked to the corridor on the side where the sign "Non-medical personnel stop" was hung, Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti followed.

This corridor is quieter than the treatment rooms and wards outside. The green escape landmarks light up on the wall, and the light gets darker as you go in. Dr. Qiao turned on the light in the corridor, and the corridor lighted up. Xing Mu saw an iron door not far from them, with a chain hanging loosely on it. Dr. Qiao removed the chain and pushed the iron door open, and the other side of the iron door suddenly opened up.

Wen Ti followed behind Chu Xingmu, with no expression on his face, no smile in his eyes, gloomy, Chu Xingmu looked back at Wen Ti, and found that his appearance was quite different from when he first came in, Chu Xingmu Mu squeezed Wen Ti's shoulder, then took his hand and walked in with Dr. Qiao.

It looked like a confinement room. There was a middle-aged caregiver sitting at the door. Dr. Qiao said a few words to the caregiver. The man nodded and bowed a few times before going out. Dr. Qiao turned his head to look at the two people behind him and smiled. He said, "Captain Chu, the person you want to see is inside."
