Chapter 158
Hearing Chen Ge's question, the three people in the cage had different reactions . The old man kept licking his fingers silently like he was trying to recollect the pleasant taste of the food he had just eaten, whereas the young woman widened her eyes and struggled in the cage like a fish out of water . The middle-aged man had the most unusual reaction; he was the only one out of the three who kept his eyes on Chen Ge .
"Why are these three people kept at the mental hospital?" Chen Ge walked to the old man's cage first . Inside the cage sat two plastic bowls . The old man realized that someone had gotten close to him, but he did not show any sign of fear . He sat in the middle of the cage and continued to suck on the oil stains on his finger .
"The person who was transferred from the first sick hall is him . " Try as he might, Chen Ge could not see anything particularly special about the old man . "His hair is growing unevenly . Someone has recently shaved him, and this clump of hair should be new . "
Seeing that Chen Ge was reminded of the hairs that were nailed to the nurse's station . One of the strands had white hairs mixed in black hairs; they likely belonged to this old man before him .
"His hair is so long even after a shave . Looks like he has been trapped here for a long time already . " When Chen Ge was comparing the hair samples, he had decided that they came from four different people, but there were only three before him . "One is still missing . "
Chen Ge's eyes scanned the young woman before stopping on the middle-aged man . His hair was long and unkempt . "This person's head doesn't seem to have been shaved before . "
Chen Ge became more careful . Shaving seemed to be the killer's weird habit . Perhaps it was a way of toying with his victim, but why would he let the middle-aged man be? Did the man know the killer, or was he the killer?
Chen Ge was shocked by his thought . In the hallway that connected the first and second sick hall, Chen Ge had caught a glimpse of an unfamiliar face; it had been an uneven face, a face that was twisted .
To be able to walk around the sick halls freely and follow Chen Ge, the twisted face should have been the killer, but there was now this suspicious, middle-aged man . It was possible that there was more than one crazed killer who liked to trap their victims .
Chen Ge gripped the mallet, and a worse scenario appeared in his mind . What if everyone in this mental hospital, other than me, is a killer?
Of course, the chance of that was low . He paused to think before stopping to look at the young man . Both of the men showed no sign of answering him, so Chen Ge tried to remove the gag from the young woman's mouth, hoping to get some information from her .
"Don't worry, I'm here to save you . " Chen Ge tried the lock on the iron cage . Without a key, with just the mallet, he would need to work for who knew how long before he could release the three people .
The young woman seemed to have a natural fear toward living people . The moment Chen Ge got close, she started to mumble, shake her head and hands .
