The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

After registering at the guard office, Qin Zhibo entered the asylum.

Except for the terrifyingly dense barbed wire outside, the inside of Arkham Asylum is pretty normal.

Green shade, lawns, vines, and the main body of the brown hospital building.

Qin Zhibo came to the front desk and while registering for the second time, expressed his request for visitation to the black man in white at the front desk.

"I want to visit an old man named Danvers whose patient number is 4859."

The white work clothes looked even more dazzling on the black man's body. Qin Zhibo, who felt a little dazzling, glanced at the two suspected patients sitting in the hall without leaving any trace.

The black man raised his eyelids and glanced at Qin Zhibo. He felt completely unfamiliar and immediately sensed a business opportunity.

"Here." The black man pointed at the registration book with his dark finger, "There seems to be something wrong with this place."

Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment, looked at the number 50 pointed by his dark finger, and immediately understood what he meant.

This is really a simple and honest folk custom.

Although Qin Zhibo didn't want to cause trouble, he could test whether the church he had just "joined" was so "successful".

"I belong to Mr. Carl Sanford. We met last night."

When he heard the name "Mr. Karl", a look of fear immediately appeared on his dark face, and he quickly took the register back.

"Are there any questions now?"

"No, no more Danfoss's ward is at No. 10, Area B."

The heads of the dark-skinned staff members shook like rattles. It seemed that Carl Sanford was indeed a successful local in Arkham.

Since it was Qin Zhibo's first time here and he didn't know where Area B was, the black man was forced to enthusiastically call a person from behind to serve as Qin Zhibo's guide.

Three minutes later, a female doctor in a white coat came to the front desk to receive her.

The female doctor looks to be no more than 30 years old. She has light blond curly hair and gold-rimmed round eyes. Her blue pupils exude intellectual charm.

"Hello, Dr. Caroline, my name is Michael Bay."

Ever since his contact with Carl Sanford last night, Qin Zhibo has been wearing Michael Bay's human skin mask to prevent being caught by Carl's men.

Caroline Finn was not surprised that her name was seen, because her name and position were written on her badge.

"Hello, Mr. Michael."

The two shook hands, and Qin Zhibo didn't find anything unusual in Caroline's message.

"The Danforth you are looking for is over here. Please follow me."

The two walked through the long hospital corridor, and the faint smell of disinfectant filled the air.

"I started taking over Mr. Danvers' treatment the year before last. His condition was originally relatively optimistic."

"But since his last biological nephew passed away in this world, no one can come to visit him anymore, and the old man gradually suffers from autism."

"Fortunately, another patient in Area B will often chat with him, so that he will not be too lonely."

"But that patient was discharged from the hospital last week, and now that he's back to that state, if you were to try and communicate with him, it might not be easy."

"Family and friends are some of the best remedies for mental recovery, so your relationship with Mr. Danforth is"

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and replied: "It's a friend I haven't seen for many years."

After hearing Qin Zhibo's answer, Caroline glanced at Qin Zhibo suspiciously.

Danvers is 90 years old. His medical records show that he was admitted to a lunatic asylum in 1931 and has never been discharged from the hospital in 65 years. How can he make a friend in his 30s?

Unless this person was also a mental patient here?

Thinking to herself, Caroline put her hands into the pockets of her white coat and grabbed the walkie-talkie in case she needed it.

Qin Zhibo didn't know what kind of ambiguity his words aroused in Caroline's mind. He was walking in the corridor when another male doctor came towards her.

The male doctor is a little thin, almost the same as the female Caroline, but his facial features are very delicate and he also wears a pair of glasses under his light yellow hair.

The message floating over his head was that of Herbert West, 37, Ph.D.

Originally Qin Zhibo didn't pay attention to this person, but after seeing Qin Zhibo, he suddenly stopped.

"Caroline, this person is."

"Doctor Herbert" Caroline looked a little panicked and quickly introduced: "This is Mr. Michael. He is here to visit Danvers in Area B."

"Oh" Herbert nodded understandingly, "It turns out to be Area B. Before Caroline came, I was also responsible for the patients in Area B for a while."

"But it's not as easy to remove the prefrontal lobe of his brain as it is for patients in area A."

Qin Zhibo: "..."

Caroline: "..."

Dr. Herbert, unaware that he had just told a hell of a joke, grinned happily.

"Haha, it's just a joke, don't pay attention"

With that said, Herbert stretched out his hand, shook it with Qin Zhibo, and said enthusiastically: "I only welcome you from my personal standpoint, Mr. Michael."

"Thanks."

The palms of the two people touched each other, and Qin Zhibo started an investigation.

——

Name: Herbert West

Sex: Male

Age: 64

Occupation: Doctor

Social credit: 4900

Before Qin Zhibo could finish investigating the information below, Herbert released his palm.

"I have to do other things, you continue."

Herbert pulled away gracefully, the hem of his white coat swaying in the wind, but Qin Zhibo stood there and looked at his back, feeling a little incredible.

The age for the visual survey was 37, but the age for the contact survey was 64.

Among the people Qin Zhibo has seen before, the only ones who can do this are those who can shrink and change their appearance.

The names before and after the investigation are consistent, which means that he should not be disguised, but if this is the case

Smaller No. 3?

"Mr. Michael?"

Looking at Qin Zhibo staring blankly at the corridor, Caroline standing aside asked tentatively, the walkie-talkie in her hand ready to deal with various illness situations at any time.

Qin Zhibo looked back and asked, "Who is Dr. Herbert?"

Caroline breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her grip on the walkie-talkie a little. "He is the best psychiatrist in our hospital, and his prefrontal lobe removal surgery is almost the best in the United States."

"But please don't worry, in Arkham Asylum, only patients in Ward A are allowed to perform this operation."

Caroline thought Qin Zhibo was frightened by Herbert's hell joke, so she comforted him with a smile.

"oh"

Qin Zhibo nodded thoughtfully and continued to move forward with Dr. Caroline.

At the corner of the corridor, Herbert West revealed half of his face and glanced at Qin Zhibo and Caroline who were walking away. An indescribable light emitted from his round lenses.

Then, he raised the palm he had just held with Qin Zhibo and started sucking it crazily.

Herbert West, from "Herbert West—The Risen Corpse"

Caroline Fearn, from "The Feeder from Within"
