Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 162 Only mother is good in the world

Back at the Huangshan Town Police Station, they went to the vegetable garden behind the station to say goodbye to the old station chief, and then the group left.

For some reason, Qian Wei looked rather disheveled, as if he had suffered some kind of misfortune.

But no matter how Nie Guoqiang asked, he remained silent. Meanwhile, Beibei was barking happily, perhaps something had happened to make it joyful.

Lin Ge stared at Qian Wei, his smile equally wicked.

Because this guy smelled very strongly of that stray dog ​​from the police station. He must have been bored out of his mind to provoke that dog, and whether he got scratched or bitten, he was happy about it.

"Laughing fart!"

Qian Wei muttered to himself as he rubbed his wrist.

Luckily, he reacted quickly, and luckily the dog was on a leash; otherwise, if he had been bitten, wouldn't he have been laughed at for the rest of his life?

"Deserve it!"

Lin Ge looked around, squeezed in from the passenger side, and jumped onto the control panel. He had been sitting still in the car for a long time today, and he felt uncomfortable because he wasn't getting enough exercise, so he started wandering around the control panel.

Sun Chang wasn't angry. Even though his view was occasionally blocked by the rascal cat, he still drove the car very smoothly.

Then, Lin Ge was dragged by Nie Guoqiang onto the dashboard in the trunk.

Lin Ge didn't mind, and just lazily strolled back and forth behind the heads of the group.

Huangshan Town is quite a distance from Yongshi, and it was nearly dusk when we arrived. The weather was getting colder, and night was falling early, so we discussed it and decided to go to the mental hospital first, and then find a place to eat and stay later.

"Yongshi Third People's Hospital?"

Qian Wei looked up at the signboard and read it word by word.

"Isn't there a small sign for Yongshi Mental Hospital next to it? In my memory, mental hospitals are either independent hospitals or located in the suburbs. This is the first time I've seen a mental hospital on the third floor of a public hospital."

Sun Chang looked very surprised.

Luo Jue didn't say anything, but bent down and picked up Lin Ge, but Lin Ge jumped down again.

"Why say so much? Let's go in and ask."

Nie Guoqiang waved his hand and led the three people and a cat into the hospital, leaving poor Beibei in the police car once again.

Lin Ge found the hospital environment and smells extremely uncomfortable; the atmosphere, which subtly made him irritable, made him feel particularly uneasy. Especially at this Third Hospital, the smell of disinfectant was very strong, giving the impression that something was being suppressed.

Lin Ge shivered.

Although it was dinner time, there weren't many people inside the Third Hospital. Perhaps it was due to the presence of the psychiatric ward on the third floor, which discouraged nearby residents from choosing this hospital. In any case, Lin Ge felt there were very few people in the hospital, and he didn't even see many medical staff.

Three policemen walked in with a child and a cat. A nurse saw them but didn't say anything or stop them, and didn't even try to ask what happened.

Nie Guoqiang frowned slightly but said nothing.

The group went up to the third floor, where it became even quieter.

Unlike the chaotic scenes of mental patients in movies, the entire third floor was as quiet as night. Apart from the nurses at the front desk, there wasn't a single person walking in the hallways. Even the usual sounds of visitors and conversations that are common in other departments, day and night, were absent. Coupled with the medical staff working silently with their heads down, and the long row of indicator lights along the corridor, it created an atmosphere reminiscent of a terrifying hospital from a horror novel.

Sun Chang couldn't help but shiver, and her two giggles made the two men turn around to look at her curiously.

However, when Nie Guoqiang came to the front desk, identified himself to the nurse, and inquired about Luo Xianjin's family situation, the atmosphere quickly returned to normal.

"Luo Xianjin's family?"

The nurse was taken aback and didn't immediately understand this way of asking questions.

Fortunately, the medical records were complete. The nurse took out the patient's paper medical records and looked for the surname 'Luo' on the signatures of the patient's family members. She quickly found a family member named Luo Jianlin and a patient named Ai Yun.

"In the entire psychiatric ward, there's only one family member surnamed Luo?"

Nie Guoqiang took the file and looked at it, and found that it stated the diagnosis of depression and psychotic disorder.

Depression was understandable, but psychotic disorders were something Nie Guoqiang couldn't grasp. Even after the nurse's simple explanation, the professional terms were still difficult to understand; all he knew was that the patient named Ai Yun suffered from a condition called persistent delusional disorder.

"It seems she lost her child a long time ago, which triggered brain and mental health issues. To put it another way, she feels her child is still with her, living with her all along. In addition, she also has severe depression, which often leads to self-blame and self-harming behaviors. With these two illnesses combined, this patient is not suitable for treatment and living at home and can only receive long-term treatment and examination in the hospital."

The nurse explained Ai Yun's condition in detail, then her gaze fell on Luo Jue. A strange look suddenly flashed in her eyes, which Nie Guoqiang and Lin Ge saw clearly.

Lin Ge's heart skipped a beat. Nie Guoqiang quickly asked, "What are you looking at? Is there something wrong with this child?"

"he……"

The nurse pursed her lips, somewhat incredulous, and said, "This child... I think he looks at least 70% like Ms. Ai Yun. So, may I ask... could this child be...?"

"It's too early to tell, but we hope to borrow your hospital's testing equipment to help Ms. Ai Yun and him match their DNA."

Nie Guoqiang's statement was very conservative.

But the nurse stood up excitedly, "That's wonderful! If this child really is Ms. Ai Yun's lost child, then her illness can be cured! You don't know, because of the repression and guilt she's always felt, our treatment for Ms. Ai Yun has actually been very ineffective. For mental illnesses like this, it mainly depends on the patient to overcome it themselves! I believe she will be extremely happy to see her child appear before her!"

"Well, that's up to you."

Nie Guoqiang turned around and glanced at Luo Jue, who was keeping his head down and remaining silent.

"only……"

The nurse suddenly spoke again, her expression somewhat conflicted.

Everyone's heart sank.

Looking around, the nurse leaned closer and whispered, "We don't know if it's true or not, but when Ms. Ai Yun had her episode, she shouted that she would call the police and make Mr. Luo pay the price, etc... Of course, we don't know if this is true or not. We contacted the police before, but there's been no follow-up..."

Nie Guoqiang's expression grew even colder.

Qian Wei and Sun Chang exchanged a glance, their eyes both revealing an ominous look.

"Let's see the person first before we talk about anything else."

Seeing that Luo Jue, who was on the verge of a frenzy, was pinned down by Lin Ge who jumped onto his shoulder, Nie Guoqiang said in a deep voice, "We'll have to judge the specifics ourselves, but thank you for reminding us."

The nurse nodded vigorously and nervously walked out from behind the front desk.

Nie Guoqiang quickly followed, and Sun Chang also took Luo Jue's hand, walking forward while whispering words of comfort to him.

Lin Ge did not follow.

Today's result was unexpected.

The more setbacks he encountered on his journey from Chu Province to Nan Province, and from Huangshan Town to Yong City, the more likely he was to run into trouble. However, the fact that things had developed to this point, and that Luo Jue's family was more complicated than he had anticipated, caught Lin Ge completely off guard.

After hearing what the nurse said, the first word that popped into Lin Ge's mind was "trafficking women to buy wives!"

However, human trafficking is a serious crime that no police force, no matter where it is, dares to ignore. Considering that the police here haven't filed a case, it doesn't seem to reach the level of human trafficking. So… it must be some other issue.

Lin Ge breathed a slight sigh of relief. Not wanting to witness the sentimental scene of a mother and son reuniting, he turned around and planned to go to the elevator alley with the window open to get some fresh air.

'Ding! '

The elevator doors suddenly opened, and an elderly man with sparse white hair, dark skin, and wearing a wrinkled shirt stepped out, carrying a plastic bag.

Behind him followed a middle-aged man with a displeased expression, muttering to himself as he walked.

"Damn it, why aren't you dead yet!"

"You're delaying me!"

"Xiaomei is forcing me to get married..."

The old man walked straight ahead expressionlessly. He paused for a moment when he saw Lin Ge by the window, then turned back impatiently and said, "Jianlin, that's your wife! Even if she's sick, even if she's a burden to you, she's still your wife! Do you think it's right to curse her to die? I know in my heart who was at fault back then, and who ruined her like this! If you don't want to see her, get out of here and don't get in my way!"

The middle-aged man glared at the old man as if it were his right, and said without any politeness, "Dad! Don't you want a grandson? Do you want to abandon the Luo family line? How can she have a baby in this condition? At my age, I'm already very lucky to have found Xiaomei again!"
