The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 509 Death is coming

According to Dr. Caroline's introduction, Qin Zhibo knew that Arkham Asylum had four wards, A, B, C, and D. Patients in different wards had different degrees of illness.

Ward D generally accepts ordinary mental patients, such as depression, dementia, delusions, etc. People in this ward have no violent tendencies and generally lack insight, so they are harmless to humans and animals.

Area C is for schizophrenia and personality disorders. Such people may have almost normal self-care abilities, but have weird personalities and abnormal behaviors, which may be dangerous.

Area B mainly accommodates PTSD patients. There are various reasons for PTSD. Such people often have too strong self-awareness and weak self-care ability, but they are dangerous.

Patients in Area A are the severely ill mental patients in Areas B, C, and D, who are personally treated by Dr. Herbert West.

"Dr. Herbert's treatment results are often excellent, but he and I pursue different philosophies."

"I hope to give crazy people peace of mind, not death of their souls"

Arriving at Ward No. 10 in Area B, the room was not locked. Caroline reached out and pushed open the door.

"Mr. Danforth, you have a visitor."

Caroline knocked on the door of the room, but the figure sitting in the wheelchair remained as motionless as a sculpture, looking up at the sky outside the window.

Caroline shrugged her shoulders at Qin Zhibo, gave a "I'll leave this to you" look, and left the ward. In fact, she was going to the archives to look through Qin Zhibo's medical records.

Although Danforth is mentally ill, he is 90 years old after all, so Caroline is not worried about him going crazy.

But if Qin Zhibo goes crazy, he can be hospitalized directly for treatment.

After Caroline closed the door behind him and left, Qin Zhibo tentatively walked forward while introducing his identity.

"Hello, my name is Michael Bay."

"Maybe you don't know me, but I know you, Mr. Danforth."

Qin Zhibo walked to the side of Danvers and found that he was still staring out the window blankly, with nothing that could be called a soul in his cloudy eyeballs.

Qin Zhibo stretched out his palm and waved it in front of Danforth's eyes without even twitching his eyelids.

Is this depression so serious?

Just now, Caroline introduced that a patient he was close to was discharged from the hospital last week, which caused his depression. If he had known, he would have come here last week.

Since time could not be turned back, Qin Zhibo could only bring a chair and sit down beside Danvers, whispering softly: "I will mention some names now. If you know them, please blink."

"Yasuhiro Mamiya."

Yasuhiro Mamiya is the name of the old man of the Mamiya family of the Blue Castle, and he was also a member of the Antarctic expedition team that year.

Danforth, however, remained indifferent to the name.

So Qin Zhibo tried other names. After all, Mr. Mamiya probably didn't study in the United States with a Japanese name.

"Mr. Mamiya?"

"Mr. room?"

When the third name was tried, Danforth's eyelids twitched.

Just this tiny beat gave Qin Zhibo a glimmer of hope, and he struck while the iron was hot: "I am Mr. Jian, do you remember?"

"I, am, Mr.Jian."

After a delay of five seconds, Danforth's eyelids twitched and his head slowly turned to Qin Zhibo.

The extremely old face is full of traces of time, and the bags under his eyes that have been elongated due to sagging skin are covered with age spots.

His Adam's apple twitched slightly under his dry skin, and he said in a dry and weak voice: "Mr.?"

Obviously, Danfoss still remembers what happened to the expedition more than sixty years ago, which is an excellent signal to Qin Zhibo.

"Yes! I am."

Qin Zhibo didn't write a draft when he lied, he just lied! a 90 year old man

Danforth blinked his cloudy eyes, and after two seconds of silence, he shook his head again.

"you are not"

After saying that, Danforth turned his head back and continued to look at the scenery outside.

This made Qin Zhibo a little disappointed. It seemed that Danforth was not completely senile.

However, Qin Zhibo still has a remedy. He is currently wearing Michael Bay's human skin mask, which looks like a blond and blue-eyed foreigner.

The old Mr. Mamiya in Danforth's impression was Japanese, so he could tell the difference at a glance.

So Qin Zhibo looked back at the ceiling of the room and found no camera, then took off his human skin mask.

The sultry heat under the mask was instantly released, making Qin Zhibo feel much more comfortable.

Although Qin Zhibo himself is not a pure-blood Japanese, his appearance still has more Japanese characteristics. In addition, Danvers is old and has dim eyesight, so it may be difficult to distinguish.

In this way, Qin Zhibo continued to deceive this 90-year-old comrade.

"I am Mr. Jian, look at me again"

After scoring twice, Danvers continued to turn his head and glance at Qin Zhibo.

This time, Danforth did not deny it.

Now that he had passed the face authentication, Qin Zhibo was careless and immediately asked: "How much do you remember about what happened to the Antarctic expedition?"

Danvers tilted his head and stared at Qin Zhibo for more than a minute before finally speaking.

"We took the Arkham and the Miskatonic and set sail in Boston Harbor."

Danforth began to recall that this was both good news and bad news for Qin Zhibo.

The good news is Danvers remembers what happened more than sixty years ago.

The bad news is that Danforth's voice is intermittent and erratic like a kite that may break at any time in the sky.

This made Qin Zhibo a little anxious, and he quickly asked: "I know all this, have you not forgotten it? We are all on the same ship."

"I want to know what happened in the cave when you and Professor Dale entered it?"

As soon as Qin Zhibo mentioned "cave", Danforth's pupils shrank suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, Danforth's throat seemed to be stimulated by something, and a large number of weird and idiotic words came out of his mouth.

"A dark pit. A primordial shoggoth with carved edges. A windowless five-dimensional entity."

"The nameless cylindrical ancient lighthouse Yog-Sothoth. Original white jelly"

"The Colors of Outer Space. The Winged Ones. The Eye of the Planet and the Stairway to the Moon"

"Primary origin, eternity, immortality, chaos!"

Danforth's voice became louder and louder from the initial whisper, and Qin Zhibo immediately felt that something was wrong.

Holy shit! I'm sick!

Qin Zhibo quickly put on his human skin mask and went out to look for Doctor Caroline to come and take a look.

After hearing the news, Dr. Caroline quickly ran over with Qin Zhibo, but when she returned to the ward,...

Danforth is dead.
