It’s still three and a half hours long. Before it gets dark, we must investigate where Dr. Fang has been to before he goes missing!”

Chen Ge's attitude was firm. He was with Lao Wu. Those who didn't know might think he was a policeman and Lao Wu was just a driver.

"We have to investigate before dark? Do you have anything else to do at night?" Old Wu asked in confusion while driving.

“This city is not safe at night.”

"Xinhai is the best city in central and southern China. Some business districts here are basically open for 20 hours and are known as the city that never sleeps." Old Wu held the steering wheel: "You young people should know these better than me."

Chen Ge smiled without explanation.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Xinhai Second Hospital.

There are eleven Grade A hospitals in Xinhai, among which Dr. Fang is located in the second hospital, ranking very high, and is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Xinhai.

"Hello, I want to ask someone." Chen Ge and Lao Wu, who was wearing police uniforms, asked the front desk of the hospital. The nurse on duty did not want to pay attention to Chen Ge, but after seeing Lao Wu's uniform, his attitude improved a lot.

Accompanied by the nurse on duty, Chen Ge came to the ENT department, where a doctor was checking the patient's body.

"Doctor Fang hasn't come to work for many days, and I don't know the specific situation. The doctor inside is named Zhao, who is Dr. Fang's colleague and friend. He should know some information." The nurse on duty left after saying that, Chen Ge, Lao Wu and others entered the house after the patient's examination.

"Who are the patients?" Dr. Zhao was very busy. He had not had a good rest recently. He had heavy dark circles and looked a little unenergic.

"We are not here to see a doctor." Chen Ge pointed to Lao Wu beside him: "This is a front-line criminal policeman in the criminal investigation team of the Municipal Branch."

He did not say his identity, nor did he say that Lao Wu was a policeman of Hanjiang City Branch. The whole sentence was the truth, but it gave people the feeling that they were all from the Xinhai Criminal Investigation Team.

"Criminal Police?" Dr. Zhao realized the seriousness of the matter: "Did you come because of Dr. Fang?"

"It seems you do know something." Chen Ge sat on the chair, and the real policeman Lao Wu stood at the door.

"I told the police station the specific situation yesterday. I didn't expect that your criminal police would come here today. Did Dr. Fang really already..." Dr. Zhao didn't say it, but the people present knew what he wanted to express.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You just need to tell me the information you know." Chen Ge picked up the paper and pen on the table and prepared to record it. He gave people a very professional feeling.

"In the past few weeks, Dr. Fang has been in poor condition and has had problems with the operation. There have been more patients complaining about him. This was almost impossible in the past. Lao Fang is our best ENT head and neck doctor."

"Is Dr. Fang's trance related to his family?"

"I also met Lao Fang's family yesterday. His wife and daughter were normal and were very worried about him. By the way!" Dr. Zhao seemed to suddenly remember something: "I heard from Lao Fang's wife that Lao Fang would often talk to himself alone, saying that they are here, they are happy, they are already here."

"Are they coming? Someone is secretly monitoring Dr. Fang?" Old Wu closed the department door and walked over. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a strange case just after following Chen Ge to Xinhai.

"A few days before disappearing, Lao Fang often stayed up all night and hid in the window with a knife. From time to time he would look out of the window, as if someone was standing downstairs of their house. His wife and daughter were both scared and occasionally looked out of the window, but there was no one outside." Dr. Zhao sighed: "Lao Fang's wife is going to hire him a psychologist, but before the doctor could invite him, Lao Fang was already missing."

"Doctor Fang's wife and daughter didn't see anyone outside the window, right?" Chen Ge wanted to make sure.

"Lao Fang's wife didn't see anything, but his youngest daughter told the police station yesterday that there was a woman hiding in her house who had been laughing."

"The woman who keeps laughing?" Chen Ge narrowed his eyes and two words appeared in his heart.

"The people from the police station went to Lao Fang's house and did not find the woman. They thought that Lao Fang's daughter was under too much pressure and had hallucinations."

"The occurrence of hallucinations is also related to certain memories, and they should think about it carefully." Chen Ge did not evaluate the police station's approach. He wanted to seize the time to find Dr. Fang: "Doctor Zhao, do you know who the last person to meet Dr. Fang?"

"Looking at the moment, it should be me." Dr. Zhao looked very haggard: "Lao Fang took half a month off, but he hadn't finished off the holiday a few days ago, and suddenly came to work. I saw that he was in good condition and thought he had recovered, so I didn't think much about it. I made an appointment with him to get off work and have a few drinks."

"Did Dr. Fang disappeared in the hospital?"

"It's like this for the time being. After get off work, Lao Fang did not go back and locked himself in the room. I don't know what he was doing. When I came to work the next day, I received news that Lao Fang was missing." Dr. Zhao regretted it a little: "It would be great if I could pay more attention that day."

"You don't have to blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you." Chen Ge frowned and pondered. He recalled the scene when he first called Dr. Fang.

Dr. Fang also mentioned that he was being monitored by Buxiao. He also said that the hospital warehouse had been rectified before. He found a letter in the old warehouse. After opening it, it said that he asked him to go to an abandoned hospital in the middle of the night. If he didn't go, very bad things would happen (see Chapter 1007 for details).

"Doctor Zhao, did your hospital's warehouse be rectified some time ago? Did Dr. Fang enter the old warehouse at that time, right?"

"How did you know?" Dr. Zhao was very surprised, but in his opinion, the warehouse rectification was completely different from Dr. Fang's disappearance and it was impossible to connect with each other.

"Remember carefully whether Dr. Fang's abnormality started from entering the old warehouse." Chen Ge put down the pen in his hand and stuffed some notes of recorded paper into his pocket.

"It seems... it's true." Dr. Zhao's expression was even more surprised. The feeling that Chen Ge gave him was completely different from the feeling that the police officers in the police station asked yesterday: "After all, it's criminal investigation, it's amazing."

"If it's convenient, can you take us to the old warehouse now?"

"Okay, anyway, it's going to be abandoned." Dr. Zhao and Dr. Fang had a close relationship, and he was very happy to help.

After saying hello to another doctor, Dr. Zhao took Chen Ge and Lao Wu out of the hospital.

"The old warehouse is not in the hospital?" Chen Ge was a little confused.

"Our hospital moved a few years ago, and the old warehouse was still in its original place. Now it seems that there are only one or two independent departments left."

Twenty minutes later, the three of them arrived at the original site of the hospital. After getting the keys from the management office, they entered the old warehouse.

This place has just been cleaned and sorted out, rows of shelves are empty, and there is almost nothing in the warehouse.

"Which area was Dr. Fang responsible for when the warehouse was rectified?"

"It seems to be the innermost ones." Dr. Zhao took out the key and opened the iron door that led to the depths of the warehouse: "Because the circuit is aging, there are no lights inside, and the light is very dark, the nurses who are traveling with him dare not go in. It seemed that Lao Fang went in alone that day."

"The middle of these warehouses is separated by iron doors. Who designed it at the beginning?"

"have no idea."

The three of them entered the warehouse and found something that didn't look like they would be used in the hospital, such as a shabby white wedding dress, pairs of dusty shoes, etc.

In the dim room, the broken old shoes alone felt particularly creepy.

"I don't know how these things appeared in the warehouse. The old man who was guarding the warehouse has passed away for a long time. This place is locked all year round. If the new director had not wanted to rectify the warehouse, I'm afraid no one would have known that so many shoes were placed in the warehouse of the hospital." Dr. Zhao held the flashlight and the key, and he was also a little scared.

"Shoes are available in all types and sizes are all different. Do you think it is because a caregiver likes to collect shoes from dead people? He stole all the shoes of the sick and stored them in the innermost part of the warehouse?" Chen Ge said on his own, he did not pay attention to the increasingly bad faces of Lao Wu and Dr. Zhao.

"Your idea is a bit perverted to be tactful." Dr. Zhao pointed to the shelves around him: "The shoes on so many shelves were worn by dead people? I found that your thinking in criminal investigation is different from that of ordinary people."

Old Wu touched his nose next to him. He originally wanted to speak, but after hearing Dr. Zhao's words, he suddenly didn't know how to speak.

Chen Ge, who was walking in the front, did not reply. He walked through two rows of shelves and suddenly stopped: "The shoes on the front rows of shelves are neatly arranged, why are the shoes on this row of shelves falling down? Someone has fallen here before!"

With his pupils shrinking, Chen Gebi's position of his shoes dropped probably simulated the situation at that time.

"There was a man who was about the same height as me. He saw something at this position under my feet. He was frightened and his body hit the shelves, and his shoes scattered to both sides." Chen Ge had a very keen insight. He deduced a lot of things just by relying on the scattered position of his shoes: "What scared the victim should have suddenly appeared behind him. During the turn, his body lost balance and hit the shelves."

Chen Ge locked in one direction and walked towards it. Yin Tong glanced at the shelves on both sides, and soon he discovered it.

"What's this?"

There is a small piece of paper hidden in a very inconspicuous position at the bottom of the shelf. Chen Ge spreads it out, and there is only one line of words on it and never enter the last warehouse!

"Doctor Zhao, do you see if this is Dr. Fang's word?" Chen Ge handed the note to Dr. Zhao, and the other party shook his head after reading it.

"It's not the word "Dr. Fang, but it appears in the place where Dr. Fang's accident occurred. That is to say, someone kindly reminded him before Dr. Fang came in, but unfortunately he didn't care." Chen Ge took the note back again. This was a very important clue. He wanted to keep it himself: "Dr. Zhao, can you still remember the person who entered the warehouse with Dr. Fang that day?"

"Can."

"Does anyone among them have the same font as the words on the note?"

"It seems that there is no one. The doctor's handwriting is relatively sloppy. I am used to opening a list." Dr. Zhao repeatedly confirmed and finally said that the note was not written by Dr. Fang's fellow travelers.

"Aren't you a person from the hospital?" Chen Ge frowned. After a while, he suddenly asked: "If you want to enter the warehouse, you must first get the key from the management office. Could this note be given to Dr. Fang by someone from the management office?"

Without finding any more clues in the old warehouse, Chen Ge hurried back to the management office with the note.

After comparing the handwriting, Chen Ge found that the words on the note were very similar to those of a warehouse manager. The manager's surname was Chi, which was a rare surname.

"Please ask, is Chiren here?" Chen Ge put away the notes, looked at the photos of the staff on the wall, and asked loudly.

"Brother Ren asked for leave a few days ago. Are you having trouble with him?" The people from the management office also thought that Chen Ge and Lao Wu were from the Xinhai Criminal Investigation Team, so their attitude was very good.

Hearing that Chiren had not come to work for several days, Chen Ge immediately had a bad premonition: "Can you tell me where Chiren lives? We want to go over and ask him some questions in person."

The people from the management office hesitated for a while, and then told Chen Ge about the address of the apartment where Chiren rented.

"Ge Ren is a relatively introverted person and basically doesn't talk to strangers. You are ready to be rejected." The person from the management office also smiled bitterly when he mentioned Chi Ren.

"Does he have any strange habits? Or have he done something strange?"

"It's nothing strange... By the way, Ren Ge clearly lives alone and has no family, but occasionally he will talk to himself and say some particularly scary words, such as eating hands, eating eyes, eating nose, etc.." The people in the management office felt uncomfortable just by mentioning these words: "Once I asked him why he always said these things, and he told me that all the scary words were the names of his family."

"His family is also strange enough." Chen Ge didn't say a word yet. He felt that the family with the surname Chi might have some connection with Buxiao.

After getting a useful clue, Chen Ge asked Dr. Zhao to go back first, and he and Lao Wu came to the apartment building rented by Chiren.

They knocked on the door for a long time but no one opened it. Finally, the landlord ran out and told them that Chiren had not been back for several days.

The landlord also revealed a very important information to Chen Ge. When Chi Ren left the apartment building for the last time, he carried a big bag containing water and various food. He seemed to have anticipated the danger and wanted to take refuge somewhere.

"If my speculation was not wrong, Chiren wrote a note to Dr. Fang and wanted to save Dr. Fang, but he failed. He was worried that he would be retaliated against him, so he ran away overnight."

In Chen Ge's opinion, although this Chiren has a strange name, he should be a good person in general.

"If you want to find Dr. Fang, you still have to start with eating Ren."
