Chapter 336 The Third Day
....
In a messy hospital.
When the riot started, psychiatric patients ran into the streets. Several doctors followed the traffic lights and captured a few patients.
Several doctors were explaining the situation to Chu Junyue, reminding the man not to walk around casually, as it was very dangerous here, especially for the patients on the underground floor.
Even though the riots were so severe, mental hospitals had not been attacked. This was because the thugs had unique tastes. They would drag patients out of the hospital, throw guns or knives at them, and let them wander the streets, attacking them indiscriminately.
The "Zhong Ren" that Jiang Zhiyue was looking for was on the underground first floor. It was actually very lucky for her to come to find Zhong Ren this time.
Not long after the riot broke out, Jongin was dragged out of the hospital by several thugs who asked him to carry out an order to kill. However, Jongin went crazy and hacked the thugs to death on the spot.
Talking about the situation at that time, the doctors were all scared. They patted their chests and said, "Master Chu, why did you want to find him? He is in danger. Didn't you see him chopping people on the spot? His body was covered in blood. He was just like a murderer."
"When he gets sick, he likes to hurt himself. Look, the holes on the wall are all holes he made with his head."
When they arrived at the underground first floor, there were about ten patients detained on the entire floor, and Zhong Ren was in the last room.
In the pure gray space, a middle-aged man in his forties with disheveled hair sat cross-legged on the ground. He lowered his head and his face could not be seen clearly. The room was dimly lit, and the white light shining through the railings swept a circle of white spots around the middle-aged man.
When the group walked to the gate, he raised his head in a trance, and Jiang Zhiyue saw a pair of dark eyes, lifeless but very dark, and so turbid that it seemed bottomless.
There were a few soldiers standing nearby, and they saluted when they saw Chu Junyue.
Several female doctors looked at Chu Junyue with some admiration. Chu Junyue looked at the girl beside him and rubbed his fingertips with the big hand hanging by his side. The faint traces of glass cuts on the back of his hand showed the thrill of last night.
Chu Junyue narrowed his eyes, his gaze seemed to penetrate the girl and look into the butterfly knife hidden in her pocket.
She needed protection, that's what he thought.
Before Chu Junyue could hold the girl in his arms and comfort her, Jiang Zhiyue calmly told him to hurry to the hospital.
It was still dark, but Jiang Zhiyue showed no signs of fatigue. Through the cold iron bars, she took out a photo and stared at the "madman" inside.
She handed the photo through the gap in the door railing. The middle-aged man raised his head in a trance and turned his back.
"I heard that this Zhong Ren...used to be Director Zhong's son. How could he become like this?" Another doctor spoke up. They didn't know why Chu Junyue came, and they had no idea about the girl's background.
Everyone saw that scene. The SUV stopped steadily in front of the hospital gate and everyone came to greet it. The man in the car didn't care about the situation outside. His eyes were only focused on the girl who was leaning on his shoulder and sleeping with her eyes slightly closed.
Chu Junyue was reluctant to wake her up and couldn't bear to disturb her.
That was the first time a tender look appeared on Chu Junyue's face since he set foot in Lanzhou, New Myanmar.
He was wearing a neat military uniform, standing next to the girl. Even a tough guy can be soft-hearted. His expression told everyone that offending the girl would be more terrible than offending him.
Chu Junyue dismissed everyone and left a few personal soldiers to Jiang Zhiyue.
Jiang Zhiyue called out, "Zhong Ren."
The middle-aged man didn't move, as if he had long forgotten his own name.
Jiang Zhiyue clenched her hands around the railing. She didn't have much time left, so she could only take every step boldly and dangerously.
If Director Zhong's son is crazy, his testimony is useless.
According to the information Chu Junyue obtained, after repeated confirmation by many doctors, Zhong Ren was diagnosed with mania, nervous instability and multiple diseases.
Chu Junyue got his hands on video footage of a man killing thugs in the street outside a hospital at the beginning of the riot. The thugs ordered him to hack and kill the children on the ground, but he turned around and slit the thug's throat with a knife.
The cruel method was consistent with the behavioral characteristics of a mentally ill person killing in the heat of the moment, but after he finished the crime, he turned around and looked at the child crying loudly on the ground, and there was no trace of violent hostility on his blood-stained face.
This is inconsistent with the mentally disordered behavioral cognition of a neurotic patient. A real patient would not show particular concern for other people at the scene when committing a crime.
Jiang Zhiyue's speculation convinced Chu Junyue, and Chu Junyue agreed with her, so the soldiers who received the order opened the door of the ward.
Jiang Zhiyue was able to walk in slowly accompanied by the soldiers.
She pushed the photo on the ground forward, gently pushing it near the middle-aged man.
"Mr. Zhong Ren." The girl's voice was very gentle. If a professional psychologist was here, he would find that every sentence Jiang Zhiyue said, every syllable's rhythm, was very soft and kind, making people unconsciously let down their guard.
"Have you seen her?"
Jiang Zhiyue pushed the photo in front of the man again, "This is my mother. I think you must know her."
"She, like you, is an unfortunate soul in this world. It seems that all hardships favor you, forcing you to endure adversity, struggle against injustice, and seek a stable life."
"But you know that some people will not let you go, even if you don't fight for anything, don't grab anything, and even forget the injustice your father suffered."
Jiang Zhiyue kept her voice even lighter. The middle-aged man had his back to her, so she couldn't see his expression. After all, he was a notorious and dangerous patient.
Speculations are speculations, but Jiang Zhiyue didn't want to risk her own life. She looked back and saw the soldiers following closely, and Chu Junyue also strode in.
The man had an imposing presence, and whenever he entered, the atmosphere around him suddenly became tense.
"Jong Ren, the current police chief is your father's subordinate. The case of silencing people in Wolong Village was assigned to him by your father."
"Not long after that, your father committed suicide in prison after he reported him for taking bribes of 30 million. You were also ostracized at school because of Director Zhong, and in a fit of rage, you stabbed a classmate."
"Not long after, the school teacher and principal, as your temporary guardian, sent you to a mental hospital."
"But I found out something very interesting. After they sent you to the hospital, they all left the country one after another and never returned to New Myanmar Lanzhou. Do you think they did this to protect you and fear revenge, or did they listen to what others said and lock you up in this bottomless prison forever?"
Silence, long silence.
Zhong Ren moved his body, turned around slowly, and looked up at Chu Junyue, with murderous intent in his eyes.
He clenched the knife in his hand and rushed towards the man.
"You, the Chu family, are unfair! You are the culprit!"
