Trembling At A High Altitude

  Chapter 975

    “Are you here to investigate the disappearance case?”

    A middle-aged woman of the two women came over and looked at Li Teng hostilely.

    “Yes, we are also following orders, and we can discuss everything.” Fang Jianguo said to the middle-aged woman with a smile on his face.

    “We have submitted the report. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you think we lied? Must arrange for someone to come and investigate?” The middle-aged woman continued to vent her dissatisfaction.

    “Ah, you know, we are acting on orders, and we have to come. When we come, we will leave the scene. We will leave in three days. We will not deliberately embarrass you.” Fang Jianguo continued to fight haha, trying to get the other party to let go Be wary of them.

    After all, they have to live here for three days and cannot leave within three days. If these people are hostile to them, it is not a good thing for Fang Jianguo.

    Although he had a fight with Mei Qiugui just now, his impulsive character was exposed, but he also understood a truth, the strong dragon does not crush the snake, the people in this mental hospital are definitely not easy to provoke, it is better to be polite .

    “I advise you a few words, let’s go quickly! Otherwise, when you want to go, I’m afraid you won’t be able to go!” The middle-aged woman continued to drive the four people.

    “Ah, since they said they came on orders, it makes no sense for you to drive them like this.”

    The gray-haired white coat behind the middle-aged woman coughed a few times and walked to the front.

    “Dean, is such an investigation meaningful? Let’s take advantage of it to be dark, let them go back the same way!” The middle-aged woman said a few words to the gray-haired white coat.

    “Young man, tell the truth to the old man, why are you here?”

    The old man in a white coat, called the dean, walked up to the four of them and looked at them carefully, especially the eyes of Mei Qiugui and Fang Jianguo. Half of the face is swollen.

    In addition, He Siying stood by with an angry face and rolled her eyes.

    Except for the burly man who was considered normal, the other two men and the woman were a little strange.

    Are normal investigators in this state? These four people are obviously conflicting internally, and they don’t have the calm temperament that investigators should have.

    “We were really sent to investigate. The results of the investigation are not important. The important thing is that the three of us must stay in the hospital to complete the tasks assigned above.” Fang Jianguo lowered his posture as much as possible.

    The meaning in his words is already very obvious. Don’t be hostile to us. We are just four of us sitting in the office and messing around. Even if you have any problems in your mental hospital, it has nothing to do with us. As long as we stay there for three days of food, It’s enough to mix these three days.

    “Okay, to facilitate your investigation, the old man will not do anything else these days, and stay with you throughout the process.” The dean seemed to understand Fang Jianguo’s meaning and kept them.

    “President! You are so busy, and you are with them all the time? And these people… are really inappropriate! If you think about it carefully, I don’t think they are good people, let’s get rid of them!” The young woman continued to talk to the dean, seeming to be very determined to drive away Li Teng and others.

    Under normal circumstances, Li Teng and others will certainly be very dissatisfied with this attitude of middle-aged women.

    They are not welcome, bad words, and always drove them away.

    But Li Teng, who has seen many horror films and participated in many horror films, does not think so.

    Perhaps in this mental hospital, only this middle-aged woman is a normal person and a good person.

    She drove them away because she didn’t want them to enter the horrible place of the mental hospital. She felt that they would die here. If she didn’t want them to die, driving them away was the best choice.

    Therefore, in the future, you can pay attention to the movements of this middle-aged woman, and she may be able to get the most critical clues to complete the task and leave alive.

    “Why do we have to drive them away? They came here to help us solve the problem. We should receive them well and stop saying those impolite words.” The dean has decided to keep them, preventing the middle-aged woman from continuing.

    “Oh, dean…” The middle-aged woman seemed disappointed, but the dean had already said this, and she couldn’t say anything more.

    Li Teng felt that this dean should not be a good person.

    Under normal circumstances, the director of a mental hospital is a Bo SS-level existence, even if he is not, he is also a puppet of Bo SS, who controls the entire mental hospital for Bo SS.

    Therefore, this person must beware.

    It is conceivable that the next three days will be extremely terrifying and difficult.

    After the three days are over, the watch will prompt them where the rescue helicopter is located.

    Li Teng estimated that the helicopter must be far away from the mental hospital.

    It is very likely to have to cross the entire mountain road, even after three days, trying to escape from the mental hospital to the rescue point will be extremely dangerous on the way.

    I don’t know much about this mental hospital yet, so Li Teng has no clue. For the time being, he can only take one step at a time.

    Li Teng recalled what the mother-in-law said before the mountain:

    1. What the eyes see is not necessarily true; 2. What the ears hear is likely to be a lie; 3. The power of hatred can never be better than understanding; 4. The truth Only in the hands of a few people forever.

    Does the four sentences the mother-in-law said contains some kind of mystery?

    It is impossible for the script to arrange a mother-in-law there for no reason, and then say a few boring words to them, right?

    As a mother-in-law, she used to be a nurse here, and she worked in a mental hospital for decades.

    She should know a lot of unknown things.

    My mother-in-law’s face was severely burned. Does it mean that there was a fire in the mental hospital?

    The mother-in-law also left for this reason, but why did she not want to stay away from the mental hospital and chose to live in a slab at the foot of the mental hospital?

    Is she unable to leave, or is it some other reason?

    The answers to these puzzles all require Li Teng to investigate bit by bit to solve them.

    Fire may be a starting point.

    …

    “Old man, I am the dean of this mental hospital, you can call me Dean Zhao.” The

    old man in a white coat led Li Teng to the mental hospital and introduced himself to them as he walked.

    “Is there water and electricity here? What is used for cooking?” He Siying asked Dean Zhao.

    Mei Qiugui glared at He Siying, and the supporting role died of talking too much. Why does his wife like to talk so much? Do you want to be the first to hang up? There is no way to take this brainless woman.

    He Siying found that Mei Qiugui was staring at her, but she didn’t mean to stop questioning because of this, but gave Mei Qiugui a sideways glance.

    “We have gasoline power generation, solar power generation and wind power generation. Basically, electricity is enough. The water is spring water received from mountain springs and pumped into water towers for use by the entire hospital.

    Chapter 976

    “Fire The rice is naturally taken from the mountain. There used to be a coal mine in the mountain, which is now abandoned, but there is still a large amount of briquettes and cinders left. We will arrange people to transport briquettes in the coal mine or dig cinders every once in a while. Come back and burn it into briquettes.

    Dean Zhao replied He Siying. Hearing the word’coquet’, Mei Qiugui’s face changed and changed again, and she looked a little unhappy, but Dean Zhao was obviously not targeting him, so Mei Qiugui had no reason to be angry.

    “The briquettes are expensive outside, right? I didn’t expect to be so cheap here, everywhere, no money. “Fang Jianguo found a good opportunity to scold Mei Qiugui, so he unceremoniously chatted with Dean Zhao about the issue of briquettes.

    “Nowadays, few people burn briquettes, and no one digs coal to make briquettes. That’s why briquettes are expensive. Although the briquettes we use don’t cost money, they are still very labor-intensive. After all, there are so many people in the hospital, burning coal The amount used is also large. Fortunately, that coal mine has large reserves and it has been no problem for decades.”

    Dean Zhao replied to Fang Jianguo. He obviously did not hear the words’coal balls’ and’cheap’ in Fang Jianguo’s mouth. meaning.

    Mei Qiugui stared at Fang Jianguo fiercely. He knew that Fang Jianguo was cursing him with a different method, but this kind of occasion is not suitable for an attack.

    “Counsel!” When He Siying was at the foot of the mountain, she heard Mei Qiugui talk about the fight with Fang Jianguo. She was angry at the time, so Mei Qiugui said behind her.

    She knew that people talking about briquettes and the like would make Mei Qiugui very angry. She also heard that Fang Jianguo was scolding Mei Qiugui, but Mei Qiugui did not say a word. He Siying was upset with Mei Qiugui, so she deliberately sprayed him at this time. .

    An unnamed fire rose from Mei Qiugui’s chest. In the end, he still didn’t break out. He decided to put up with this breath first, and then settle accounts with Fang Jianguo.

    “I’m going to worship the God of Fire tomorrow, isn’t it okay to have outsiders?” The young woman who had not spoken before opened her mouth and whispered a few words to Dean Zhao.

    Although it was a whisper, Li Teng and others could still hear it.

    “What’s this? It’s not a shameful thing.” Dean Zhao looked disapproving.

    When Li Teng heard the word “Vulcan”, he thought of the mother-in-law at the foot of the mountain, and felt that there must be a certain connection between the two.

    There must have been disasters related to’fire’ in this mental hospital.

    And it is likely to be the key clue that triggered these disappearances.

    … A

    group of four followed Dean Zhao into a building of the mental hospital.

    Then he entered a room in the building.

    This room is the dean’s office.

    Although the outside of the mental hospital looks dilapidated, the interior decoration of the dean’s office is still very tidy.

    After entering the dean’s office, Dean Zhao asked the young woman to pour tea for the four, and then sent the middle-aged woman and the young woman away for a reason.

    After the middle-aged woman and the young woman left, Dean Zhao personally walked over and closed the door of the office, and then sat down across from the crowd.

    “Show me your letter of introduction and credentials.” Dean Zhao mentioned it to the four of them.

    The four took out the letter of introduction and certificates prepared for them by the prison and handed them to Dean Zhao.

    “Fang Jianguo, is it you? Well, Li Teng, Mei Qiugui, He Siying…” Dean

    Zhao compared the four people one by one with their documents, as if he wanted to remember their names and looks. One corresponds.

    “Do you have anything you want to ask me?” Dean Zhao returned the documents to everyone after reading the letter of introduction.

    “Actually, there is nothing to ask. If you are willing to say something to us, we will listen.” Fang Jianguo looked at Dean Zhao with a harmless smile on his face.

    “I know you still have something to ask, just ask.” Dean Zhao grinned.

    “What happened to the mother-in-law who was burned by the fire at the foot of the mountain? She said she was a nurse here. Why did she leave after decades of work? But she didn’t go far, living alone in the wooden house at the foot of the mountain?” Li Seeing that the other three people looked like they were out of the picture, they had no choice but to ask some questions in person.

    “The mother-in-law who was burned by the fire… Are you talking about Tian Qinzhi? She turned out to be the head nurse here. She was not driven away by me. She insisted on leaving. Two months ago, she suddenly said that she did not want to live. Here, I can’t keep her, but later I found out that she didn’t go far, she just lived in a slab house built by the workers at the foot of the mountain. Specifically, why she didn’t want to live here and lived alone at the foot of the mountain. Actually, I am not very much. Clear.”

    Dean Zhao answered Li Teng.

    “What’s the matter with her being burned by the fire? It scared the lady we were with you.” Li Teng pretended to ask casually, and then observed the subtle changes in Dean Zhao’s expression.

    Dean Zhao’s mouth seemed to twitch imperceptibly, but then he covered it with a smile.

    “It was last winter. She felt that the room was too cold and burned a brazier, but accidentally ignited the mosquito net at night and burned herself. If you use fire in the room in winter, you must be careful, otherwise it will appear. Disaster.” Dean Zhao explained to Li Teng.

    According to Li Teng’s analysis of facial expressions and hand and foot movement management, this Dean Zhao must be lying.

    The head nurse named Tian Qinzhi should have something to do with worshipping the god of fire, right?

    Why does the mental hospital worship the god of fire?

    “Tomorrow you are going to worship Vulcan? Can you let us visit it?”

    Just as Li Teng wanted to ask about Vulcan, He Siying suddenly intervened and asked Dean Zhao.

    Li Teng simply stopped speaking, listening to Dean Zhao’s answer.

    At this moment, the door of the dean’s office was suddenly pushed open.

    Two strong men in white coats broke in.

    “President! I heard Suqin and the others say that you received a bunch of messy people in? When is this? How can you let in outsiders?” A strong man rushed in and asked Dean Zhao loudly. .

    “I’m talking about things, when will you learn the minimum etiquette? Will you learn to knock when you enter my office?” Dean Zhao looked very upset.

    “Don’t talk about those who don’t. We are responsible for the safety of the psychiatric hospital. Outsiders who don’t know the basics have come in. If they are a group of bad people with ulterior motives, or investigators disguised as escaped prisoners, how can we guarantee the safety of the hospital?” The brawny continued to question loudly.

    “We are all good people, how could it be that the escaped escaped in disguise? And we only stay here for three days. We will never go where you are not allowed to go. We will leave on our own after three days.” Fang Jianguo hurriedly laughed. Explanation.

    “Come on! It’s on fire!”

    someone outside suddenly yelled.
