Soon, Duan Ye and his group were taken to the dean's office.
Dean Li personally received them, and the office was soon filled with people.
Dean Li was a man over fifty years old, wearing black-rimmed glasses and sporting a receding hairline; he looked very kind.
"Team Leader Liang, I've heard so much about you. Please have a seat."
Liang Mo smiled and said, "Dean Li, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. You already know why we're here. Please just give us the files."
Dean Li smiled and said, "Alright, I'll have someone take you there."
Soon, a woman who looked to be around thirty years old walked in.
Dean Li introduced, "This is our hospital's head nurse, Xiao Yang. Let her take you there."
"Xiao Yang, you need to cooperate well with Team Leader Liang and the others."
Head Nurse Yang: "Okay, Dean."
"plz follow me."
Liang Mo nodded to Dean Li before leaving with Nurse Yang.
Nurse Yang led them across a large playground. On the first floor, there were rows of offices, but when they arrived at the stairwell, they found a huge iron gate on the first floor.
As Nurse Yang took out a large bunch of keys to open the door, she said, "Mental patients are prone to running away, so they are under strict control. The archives are on our top floor."
Liang Mo: "Hmm, I heard that this is the best mental hospital in Kyoto. Hu Lan used to work with you, right?"
Nurse Yang opened the door and led them upstairs.
"We've worked together. She's a doctor, but she has a bad temper, and the patients she takes care of have similar tempers."
On the second floor, there were many patients wearing oversized hospital gowns, all looking at them with curiosity.
Liang Mo glanced at his subordinates behind him, and the last two went to the second floor separately.
The building has six floors. When Duan Ye and Duan Ze arrived, they already knew that Ye Nuan's room was at the very end of the fifth floor.
So when they reached the fifth floor, Duan Ze followed, while Duan Ye and Xiao Wu headed towards Ye Nuan's former room.
Xiao Wu smiled sheepishly: "Brother Duan, the team leader said we can't act alone."
Duan Ye laughed and patted his shoulder: "I know, didn't you used to work with Brother Luo? I'm still not used to it now that you've changed careers."
Xiao Wu: "To be honest, it was that trip to the border that made me realize what I wanted to do, and I also got to know Team Leader Liang. Really, thank you all."
Duan Ye: "Hey, we're family, no need for formalities."
The two chatted casually and soon arrived at the room.
According to the hospital director, after Ye Nuan left, several patients came to stay here one after another, but those whose conditions were better have all been discharged. Although the place has recently been vacated, any traces of it have been cleaned up.
But Duan Ye still wanted to come and see.
And so, Xiao Wu and Duan Ye began to explore the room.
The surrounding walls are square and white, with only one window at the very top, presumably only for ventilation.
There were many scratches on the wall, which looked like they were made by fingernails.
Duan Ye examined the scratches carefully for a long time but still couldn't figure out what they represented, so he took out his phone and took a picture to record them.
By this time, it was already very dark outside.
Liang Mo and Duan Ze were reviewing Hu Lan's information and also interviewing several people who had worked with Hu Lan.
More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Luo Qingyuan rubbed her slightly sore neck.
Bai Yu was playing Candy Crush when he suddenly put his phone away.
Just as Luo Qingyuan was about to say something, her mouth was suddenly covered from behind.
Luo Qingyuan was immediately startled.
Bai Yu whispered in her ear, "Shh, it's me."
After saying that, Bai Yu turned off the car lights, and darkness instantly enveloped the two of them.
Bai Yu didn't let go of her hand and whispered, "Someone is approaching this way. They don't look like good people. Let's move to another spot. Slowly lower your head."
Luo Qingyuan immediately became alert and slowly nodded.
Bai Yu then released her mouth. Knowing that Luo Qingyuan's legs made it difficult for her to move, she even carried Luo Qingyuan to the back in the dark.
"Madam, please lie down on the seat."
Luo Qingyuan did as she was told, bowing her body completely.
Bai Yu sat down in the seat that Luo Qingyuan had originally occupied, his hand slowly moving towards his lower back, his eyes becoming as sharp as a hawk's, even showing a hint of excitement.
Why do I feel like I'm about to do something meritorious?
The figure moved toward them at an incredibly fast speed, the moonlight providing perfect cover.
Luo Qingyuan couldn't see what was happening outside, but she felt somewhat anxious.
At the same time, Duan Ye crawled under the bed, and when he looked up, he finally made a discovery.
The handwriting on it has faded quite a bit, but it still reads crookedly: Jiang Jingchuan threatened me, they want me to obey, they'll beat me, it hurts so much… I hate her so much… I hate her…
The last sentence is: Someone wants to kill me... No one can save me...
Duan Ye felt a pang of unease. The writing was in pencil and hidden in the crack of the bed frame; he would have never found it if he hadn't searched carefully with a flashlight.
Duan Ye took pictures of all those words.
But before he could finish filming, he heard a loud "bang" from downstairs.
Duan Ye thought he had misheard, but soon, Xiao Wu rushed out.
Immediately afterwards…
"Bang bang bang—"
It nearly alarmed the entire mental hospital, and the patients screamed in terror.
Duan Ye also scrambled out, and when he looked down, he saw that the streetlights outside had been smashed, and it was very dark in Luo Qingyuan's direction, so he couldn't see anything.
But his intuition told him that this was the place!
His blood ran cold, and he rushed downwards like a madman.
Liang Mo and his team reacted even faster. By the time Duan Ye rushed down, Liang Mo and his team members had already dashed off the playground.
As he ran, Liang Mo spoke into the walkie-talkie: "There's been a shooting at Kyoto Mental Hospital. Judging from the sound, it might be a homemade shotgun. Requesting backup. Repeat, requesting backup!"
Before they even reached the car, they could see from afar that Luo Qingyuan's car had all its windows shattered, with shards flying everywhere, and its tires were blown out and smoking.
At first glance, it was a truly horrific scene, and everyone's heart couldn't help but clench.
Duan Ye's legs went weak, and his face turned deathly pale. If Duan Ze hadn't caught him in time, he wouldn't have been able to stand.
Everyone fell silent for a moment. The gunfire stopped, the car doors were wide open, and blood was even flowing out of the car, dripping onto the empty street in a chilling, unsettling way.
Everyone, armed with weapons, slowly approached under Liang Mo's command.
Duan Ze's heart was heavy; he had even imagined what they would see...
Duan Ye, who should have gone over, was overcome with panic and didn't even have the courage to take a step; his body was trembling violently.
Xiao Wu quickly walked to the car, raised his gun, and swiftly moved towards it: "Don't move!"
The people quickly surrounded the people inside the car.
But when they saw what was inside the car, everyone stared in astonishment.
