Chapter 1158 Mental Hospital



"Can you believe what Zuo Xiaoqin says?" Liu Shuyuan asked after leaving Zuo Xiaoqin.

"The part that is within her level of understanding can be believed." Bai Song thought for a moment and said, "I believe her last sentence."

"Which one?" Sun Jie was a little confused.

"She said that if it was Li Ruibin and his son who did this, they would probably beat her first and then kill her." Bai Song looked at Sun Jie: "Are you sure that Lin Qing was not insulted?"

"You don't despise me," Sun Jie said, "you despise the entire Yuzhou forensic pathologists."

"Uh..." Bai Song thought for a moment, "If it wasn't them who did it, who would have done it?"

As the few people were strolling around, Bai Song received a call from Wang Liang.

"I found a trace that the local police didn't find," Wang Liang said. "That was the day Lin Liang went to the bath center. Although his car was in the parking lot, he showed signs of taking a taxi and leaving."

"Take a taxi and leave?" Bai Song stopped and asked, "Are you sure?"

"What's wrong with you today?" Liu Shuyuan asked from the side, "It's been a while since we worked on a case together. Why are you questioning the clues we found?"

"Uh... blame me." Bai Song found that he was really a little uncomfortable: "Wang Liang, go on."

Bai Song's suspicion is actually justified.

If there was a video of Lin Liang leaving the bath center, even if the bath center did not have any cameras to maintain customer confidentiality, the police would have tried their best to retrieve it.

It was inevitable that the car had not moved, but if the person had just left, the police wouldn't have been able to find him. How could Wang Liang have found him so quickly?

"No," Wang Liang said, "There is no video that can capture Lin Liang. How could this be captured?"

"Then?" Bai Song was a little confused.

"In this case, there was a time when the air conditioner and other equipment in the deceased's home were out of power. I calculated based on this time and estimated the time when Lin Liang might come out. During this period of time, I exhausted the license plate numbers of all taxis that passed by the bath center in the previous hour. Seven of them went to the street near Lin Qing's home during that time. I also retrieved taxis near Lin Qing's home one hour after the power outage. Four of them went to the bath center during that time," Wang Liang said, "It is impossible for the driver to remember which customer he picked up at the time, but I have all the license plate numbers. You can check the recordings in the car. In Yuzhou, the information construction of taxis was completed in 2012, and the recordings can be saved for a relatively long time."

“???” Bai Song suddenly felt that his IQ was crushed by Wang Liang, which made him feel very unreal.

"Did you come up with this idea yourself?" Liu Shuyuan came over, a little unconvinced.

"Ren Xu and I came up with this together," Wang Liang said, "mainly me."

"Awesome," Bai Song knew that Wang Liang would not compete with Ren Xu for the credit. Wang Liang's words basically meant that it was all Wang Liang's own idea.

There was no need for Bai Song and others to investigate this matter. He directly called the deputy detachment and asked them to arrange an investigation.

Originally, the deputy detachment had already confirmed with 100% certainty that Lin Liang was not the murderer of Lin Qing, but he still attached great importance to Bai Song's words. After all, this represented a new direction of investigation. He immediately arranged 11 police officers to find these taxi drivers one-on-one to retrieve the in-car recordings.

Wang Liang and Ren Xu are currently investigating mainly matters related to the wedding, and have not returned to the hotel yet.

"Where to go next?" Liu Shuyuan asked.

"Go and see Lin Qing's mother," Bai Song said, "I haven't been there yet."

"Okay, let's go." Liu Shuyuan was also a little curious.

Lin Qing's mother has neurotic problems and is now considered mentally ill. The police have come several times but have not been able to get any valuable clues from her.

Bai Song and the other two arrived at the psychiatric hospital and happened to see Lin Qing's father.

Lin Qing's father has been here these days. He has not gone to work and has been with his wife. He communicates with her for a long time every day. However, Lin Qing's mother's condition has not improved. The psychological trauma she suffered at that moment was too strong.

"Hello, officer." Lin Qing's father listened to Bai Song's introduction and said, "You must be a professional psychologist. All the people in your department are experts and capable people. Can you help my wife..."

Lin Qing's father looked a little haggard, with obvious dark circles under his eyes.

"I'll do my best," Bai Song nodded without much comfort.

In this situation, a few words of comfort are basically the same as saying nothing.

Led by the doctor here, Bai Song and the other two entered the psychiatric ward.

When they arrived, it was lunchtime and several patients were walking out. Bai Song saw that there were people behind them, so he did not move forward. He wanted to wait until these people passed by, so the three of them stood where they were.

Bai Song had been to a mental hospital several times before due to work needs, but he had never been able to witness such a big scene where everyone had a meal together.

Hundreds of people in hospital gowns walked out stiffly, staring at Bai Song. Bai Song and the other two felt like they had nowhere to put their eyes.

When faced with this kind of situation, you don’t know what kind of look you should use to look at them.

So many people walked by, and Bai Song didn't look at them one by one, so he couldn't recognize which one was Lin Qing's mother.

Bai Song could only remember the ID photo of Lin Qing's mother, so he could only ask the doctor here.

"Let her eat first," said Doctor Bai Songhe, "I'm not in a hurry."

"She can't eat anything," the doctor pointed to the room inside. "She needs to be fed some liquid food every day. Sometimes her blood sugar is too low and she needs to be given glucose. This woman's condition is still not good. She has tried several kinds of medicine, but none of them worked."

"Valium, chloral hydrate, and Antai", the doctor said, "I'm not the attending physician, but I only know these. If you want to know the details, you have to ask the attending physician. But the attending physician, Dr. Li, is not here today. He is resting. If you want to see him, you have to wait until tomorrow."

"No need," Bai Song said, "I'll go in and take a look."

Bai Song and the other two did not dwell on these questions. They went into the house and met Lin Qing's mother.

What many people don't know is that mental hospitals have a limited number of beds, and because there are more and more mentally ill people now, mental hospitals are overcrowded. It often happens that the police catch a mentally ill person who caused trouble and want to send him to a mental hospital, but the beds are already full...

Lin Qing's mother's situation was rather special. She was involved in a major case investigated by the Municipal Bureau and was also an important witness, so she enjoyed very special treatment and an independent ward.

This mental hospital is quite old. After Bai Song entered the room, he found a very old camera.

"This is probably an antique now," Liu Shuyuan glanced at the camera and asked, "Can this old-fashioned camera capture the image clearly?"

"It should be enough to capture that the people in this video are not dead, do not hurt themselves, and do not fight," Sun Jie said casually, and then looked at Lin Qing's mother.

In Bai Song's team, Sun Jie is the one with the best medical skills, even though he is a forensic doctor.

Lin Qing's mother was in a very bad condition. It was difficult to describe her condition with the word "dispirited". She was like a walking corpse.

In such a short period of time, she lost at least 15 kilograms, and her condition was indescribably bad. Bai Song and the other two had just seen so many mentally ill patients outside, and by comparing them now, they could see how bad Lin Qing's mother's condition was.

Seeing three policemen coming in, she was startled, and her eyes gradually changed from confusion to fear and confusion: "Don't catch me, don't catch me! People, ah..."

Seeing the look on Lin Qing's mother's face, Bai Song and the other two immediately retreated.

"We need to find a place to change into plain clothes," Bai Song said, "I'll go in by myself. It's not good if there are too many people."

"She just saw you. There's no point in changing into plain clothes, right?" Liu Shuyuan said.

"It's okay. I know how to disguise myself a little bit." Bai Song thought for a moment and said, "It won't be a problem to deceive a mentally ill patient."

"Okay, you can try on a doctor's suit later." Sun Jie nodded. "But there is one thing I don't understand. Why is she afraid of the police? She has never been harmed by the police, and she has never killed anyone. Why would she be afraid of the police?"

"I don't know either," Bai Song said, "I'll ask the deputy detachment how they asked the question."

After leaving here, Bai Song went to borrow clothes from the doctor. There was also a tall doctor here. After a while, Bai Song changed into the doctor's clothes and then called the deputy detachment.

"When we first asked her about it, she was upset but not afraid of us," Dai said. "She was wearing a uniform at that time. I suspect she may have had a stronger stress response."

"That's not right. She's in a very good treatment environment now. She has her own room. Her husband chats with her every day. The medicine the doctor uses is fine. It's understandable if she hasn't recovered after so many days. But why has her condition gotten worse?" Bai Song thought for a moment. "Could there be something wrong here?"

"You suspect her husband?" The deputy team leader said, "I have learned about her husband's situation. He did not have any time to commit the crime. He was at work on the day of the crime, and the company's video footage shows it clearly."

"I looked at Lin Qing's father, and he looked somewhat similar to Lin Qing's ID card photo before she had plastic surgery. He must be her biological son," Bai Song analyzed. "And Lin Qing's father did look very tired."

"So what is the problem you are talking about?" asked Dai Zhita.

"The management of the mental hospital is relatively simple, and we have to go through several doors to get in, so it is not easy to be affected by the outside world. I just saw that the doctor here is also quite professional," Bai Song said, "Excluding all impossibilities, there are only two possibilities. Either Lin Qing's mother's condition is really getting worse, or her husband has a problem. I just mentioned that her husband should be fine, but..."

"I understand what you mean," said Dai Zhita. "I will intensify the investigation into her husband."

The manpower available to the deputy detachment was not really unlimited. With Bai Song sending out two groups of people, he was a little stretched. But whether out of respect for his status or recognition of the logic of these clues, he understood that what Bai Song said made sense and he should investigate it seriously.

While talking on the phone, Bai Song had already made a simple disguise.

How simple is it?

Bai Song wrote the word "doctor" on his face.

He literally took an erasable pen and wrote two big words on his face!

This time when Bai Song entered the house again, Lin Qing's mother was not afraid, "Doctor, doctor, I didn't break the law, I didn't break the law."

"I know you didn't break the law," Bai Song walked closer, "Who said you broke the law?"

"I didn't break any law. I didn't break any law."

"I know," Bai Song said, "Who told you that you broke the law? Besides, you didn't break the law, so why are you afraid of the police?"

"I really didn't break the law!" Lin Qing's mother seemed a little anxious, "I didn't break the law!"

"Okay, okay, I know." Bai Song knew he could only say, "What do you need?"

"I don't need it, I'm fine, I... hey... I have someone to chat with now, it's great," Lin Qing's mother's face instantly showed joy.

"Who are you chatting with?" Bai Song asked.

"With her! She understands me very well!" Lin Qing's mother took a mobile phone and handed it to Bai Song.

Bai Song turned on his phone and WeChat and found that Lin Qing's mother had been chatting with someone recently. Looking further, he found that this person was actually her own smurf account, and even the name she noted was her own name... But she didn't know that this was also her.

This is a bit schizophrenic, but Bai Song did not underestimate it. Instead, he carefully looked at the entire chat record.

From the beginning to the end, it was basically an insecure communication, with the two personalities constantly comforting and hugging each other. Some personalities would say they wanted to go back and have a good rest, and the other would say, "Let's rest together, thank you for staying with me."

Bai Song didn’t see any valuable chat records from this.

"She understands you very well," Bai Song said, "You are such a good friend."

“Doctor!” Lin Qing’s mother’s eyes lit up. “You’re the only one who believes she really exists. Other doctors… all say she doesn’t exist. How can she not exist when she chats with me every day?”

"Besides other doctors, who else is talking about you?" Bai Song asked.

“No more, no more…”

After coming out from Lin Qing's mother's place, Bai Song realized that this problem was quite serious.

Lin Qing's mother was actually avoiding and fearing Lin Qing's father, which was problematic. Mentally ill people generally have simpler thinking, and this was definitely not the kind of influence that someone who gave her true love could have on her.

This Lin Qing's father needs to be investigated carefully.

Lin Qing's mother was completely unable to communicate, and her mental illness symptoms were getting worse. Bai Song originally wanted to tell the doctor before he left, "Try to avoid letting Lin Qing's mother contact family members," but considering the confidentiality of the matter, he didn't say it.

This matter has to be clarified as soon as possible.

After coming out, Bai Song called the deputy detachment to tell them about the situation. The deputy detachment said, "Director Bai, your previous analysis makes sense. We checked these 11 trips and found two cars, one going and one returning. After the driver picked up the passengers during this time period, the passengers just told him the address on their mobile phones and did not speak."
