Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Girl
There were no new discoveries in Xu Hui's room.
Wu Yuanqing was a little worried.
Xu Hui has a bad temper and will definitely not cooperate with them if there is no evidence.
The evidence should be in Xu Hui's ward, why is it not there?
Sang Baiyu thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't have to be in the room, it could be in the intensive care unit. The most important thing is to lock that iron door."
As long as the iron door is locked, everyone will think that Xu Hui has never left the mental hospital.
As for the door lock of Xu Hui's room, it seemed to be closed directly, so it can also be considered locked.
Sang Baiyu said, "Go look in other wards."
The intensive care unit is filled with patients with uncontrolled behavior and violent tendencies. Each door is tightly closed. There are small windows in the wards through which doctors and nurses can observe the patient's condition.
Sang Baiyu stood in front of each door for a while.
He Li had no idea what she was doing, assuming she was checking on a patient inside. He explained, "This mother's child had died at just two years old. She couldn't accept it and chose to withdraw into herself. At first, the mere sound of the baby crying would send her into a frenzy, insisting she was at the child's side. Later, her condition worsened, and any loud noise would trigger an attack."
"This man is a teacher, and whether he's ill or not is still under discussion. He killed a girl, one of his students. After being discovered, he went into a state of madness, which has lasted for two years. But many still believe he's feigning madness. Ninglan's technology is too backward, so there's no definitive answer."
"This person was born with bipolar disorder. He has a bad temper and has been aggressive since childhood. He beat both his mother and father. I suspect there's something wrong with his genes, but unfortunately, I don't know what it is."
Sang Baiyu examined them one by one and stopped in front of an empty ward.
She looked at Wu Yuanqing and said, "It's here."
There is a taste of Xu Hui here.
He Li asked curiously, "This room is leaking. It's been empty for a long time and is usually locked. No one comes here. What are you doing looking for an empty room?"
Wu Yuanqing signaled He Li to open the door.
Although He Li was very confused, he still did as he was told.
As He Li said, the room had not been used for a long time and was not cleaned regularly, so there was dust everywhere.
But precisely because there is so much dust, any traces left by people will be particularly obvious.
As soon as the door opened, He Li saw a series of footprints on the ground. He was stunned, "Who came in?"
Sang Baiyu followed the footprints and found a wooden box under the bed.
She opened the box and saw what was inside. She smiled and said, "It's here."
Sang Baiyu took out a bunch of keys from it.
Xu Hui was taken back to the police station.
Xu Hui didn't seem to be afraid at all. He looked around and touched things after entering the police station, and even wanted to take off his pants to relieve himself in the police station.
The detectives looked at him in surprise, and the more surprised they were, the more proud Xu Hui became.
Chi Xi asked Sang Baiyu in a low voice: "Why is Xu Hui... weird?"
Fang Xiaoman said: "Of course mental illness is strange. If you can understand mental illness, it will be scary."
"It's not about that. It's the way Xu Hui just took off his pants... Never mind. Your brain is new too. You don't understand."
Fang Xiaoman dragged Chi Xi out and taught him a lesson.
Ruan Feng had just returned to the police station when he saw Wu Yuanqing and immediately reported, "Inspector, we've thoroughly investigated the relationships of Ricardo's family. They're not exactly kind, but they don't have any enemies. They have no ties to the various factions in Longxinggang. Even if they have conflicts with others, they're usually just verbal disputes. I really can't understand who could be so cruel as to take the lives of five of them."
Wu Yuanqing nodded, "I understand. Come in and interrogate Xu Hui together."
The interrogation room was simple and Xu Hui only had a wooden chair to sit on.
Xu Hui crossed his legs lazily and looked around the interrogation room nonchalantly, with no fear in his eyes.
Sang Baiyu followed in.
Wu Yuanqing said: "This is not in accordance with procedure."
Sang Baiyu said innocently, "Ninglan Country still has this kind of procedure?"
Wu Yuanqing: “…”
Ning Languo really doesn't have any procedures to speak of.
Sang Baiyu said, "It's not in accordance with procedure for you to bring a fourteen-year-old child to investigate a case."
Wu Yuanqing: “…”
Sang Baiyu raised her head sadly, "Sister Ruan Feng, you know, I'm only fourteen years old this year, still just a child..."
Wu Yuanqing: "Stay! Stay!"
Wu Yuanqing threw the keys he had found in front of Xu Hui and said, "Explain it."
Xu Hui glanced at the key and pouted, "Did you find it?"
Wu Yuanqing said, "We've compared the shoe prints at the scene with yours, and they match perfectly. You hid the key. Tell me, did you leave the intensive care unit?"
Xu Hui said nonchalantly, "I stole the key, so what?"
"You set the fire?!"
Xu Hui snorted, "Dara and I are good brothers. Do you know how miserable Dara's life is? His parents are not human beings. They abuse him every day."
Sang Baiyu said: "After Dara returned home, his mother took him to buy new clothes. It's rare for the family to buy clothes, so how can it be said that she abused him?"
"Impossible," Xu Hui said firmly, "His mother only likes his brother and usually doesn't pay any attention to Dara. Buying new clothes? Is it for others to see? How hypocritical."
Wu Yuanqing frowned, and the more he listened, the more puzzled he became.
Xu Hui said proudly, "He's different from me. My parents gave birth to me and my sister, and they only like me, not my sister. They would leave all the good food and clothes for me. There was not enough space at home, so my sister slept in the kitchen and I slept on the bed. That's what's good, you know?"
Wu Yuanqing asked: "If you are good to me, why do you want to hurt others? Why were you sent here?"
"I came here on my own," Xu Hui said. "I'm staying here. Old man He Li agreed not to charge any fees. I feel bad for my sister and wanted to make room for her."
Sang Baiyu looked at Wu Yuanqing, and Wu Yuanqing shook his head slightly. He didn't know that Xu Hui didn't have to pay the fees.
Xu Hui was still shaking his head. "As boys, we have to contribute to our family. I feel sorry for my sister, so..."
"What are you saying?" Wu Yuanqing interrupted Xu Hui. "Say it again?"
Sang Baiyu and Ruan Feng also looked at Xu Hui in surprise.
Xu Hui was puzzled and said, "Your ears are not working well? I say, we boys should contribute to our families."
The three of them looked at each other, and Sang Baiyu took out a small mirror from his pocket. Every girl in their class had one of this kind of small mirror.
Sang Baiyu handed the mirror to Xu Hui.
Xu Hui said impatiently: "Why would you give me something that you little girls like?"
Sang Baiyu said, "Look in the mirror."
Xu Hui raised his eyebrows and did not trust Sang Baiyu.
Sang Baiyu said, "You'll know once you see it."
Xu Hui picked up the mirror suspiciously.
The small square mirror seemed a little small in Xu Hui's hand. Xu Hui gently lifted the mirror and saw that his hair was exposed. It was a refreshing short hair.
Then came Xu Hui's eyes, nose, and mouth...
Xu Hui gradually became stunned.
Xu Hui was very familiar with these facial features. This was clearly... a woman's face.

He Li and Wang Miaoyu both came to the police station. Wang Miaoyu sobbed, "My father is sick. My mother has been paralyzed for a long time and can't take care of him. I can't just watch my father get sick and do nothing. I have to go to the hospital to take care of him..."
He Li said helplessly, "Since you're sick, just ask for leave. How can you leave your post without permission? What if a patient from the intensive care unit escapes and hurts someone? What if someone else gets lost?"
Wang Miaoyu's eyes were red. "I'm going to be deducted money for taking leave. My dad is sick and needs money. I don't want to be deducted money."
"You! Ugh! Stupid!"
Wu Yuanqing invited He Li aside and asked, "What's going on with Xu Hui?"
To them, Xu Hui is an ordinary girl, but she seems to have always thought of herself as a boy.
He Li asked curiously, "What happened to her?"
"Why does she think she's a boy, and what's the deal with the fees?"
"Her family situation is rather special," He Li sighed. "She has an older brother, and her parents favor her brother more than her. She didn't even have a place to live at home. She must have had an attack when she was eleven years old, and after that, she was even more disliked by her family. I met her in the hospital. Her parents didn't want to waste money on her, so they just threw her into a public toilet. She was lucky to be rescued by a kind person. In this situation, I definitely couldn't charge her, but I couldn't kick her out either, so I kept her in the hospital. To be honest, our hospital is not doing well, so we can't just keep her for free. We've given her limited treatment over the years, and we haven't even used some expensive medicines, so her condition is very difficult to control."
Wu Yuanqing returned to the interrogation room.
After he left, Xu Hui stared at the mirror in a daze, his posture never changing.
Wu Yuanqing whispered to Sang Baiyu and Ruan Feng, "The sister she described as having a miserable life is actually herself. She thinks of herself as her brother."
Ruan Feng said distressedly, "Her parents are really...ah, they are their own flesh and blood, how could they have the heart to do such a thing?"
Xu Hui suddenly raised her head and said expressionlessly, "I remember now."
Sang Baiyu asked, "What do you remember?"
"My parents didn't want me, they wanted to kill me, and my brother ignored me," Xu Hui said. "That old guy, He Li, brought me back and has been raising me ever since."
Sang Baiyu asked, "Do you remember anything about Dara?"
Xu Hui threw away the mirror and said calmly, "I did it. I started the fire. Arrest me."
