Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 471 Framing
It felt like he had something to say, but it wasn't convenient.
Jiang Cheng poured another glass of wine for Zheng the Blind, but Zheng the Blind, contrary to his usual self, didn't drink it. He shook his head and sighed again.
"Is there something wrong with this woman?" Jiang Cheng asked himself as he drank.
"I knew that woman a long time ago. She's been here for a while, about... about a year or so. Before that, she lived in room 624."
"That room 624 isn't affordable for just anyone. The facilities inside are the best in the whole hospital. You have to pull some strings to get in."
"But she's been living there for over a year."
"What's strange is," Zheng the Blind frowned, "with her kind of condition, no one has ever come to see her in over a year. Only the psychiatrists and nurses take care of her."
"No one from her family comes during the holidays either." Judging from Zheng the Blind's tone, he was also very surprised.
"Oh, this woman is very young, and her appearance is impeccable. Many female doctors and nurses in the hospital were very envious."
"Many people secretly came to ask her how she maintained herself."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng suddenly frowned.
Isn't this woman mentally ill? Could it be that her treatment has improved and she can communicate normally with people?
"It's not what you think." Glancing at Jiang Cheng, Zheng the Blind shook his head, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "To tell you the truth, that woman... she's not crazy at all."
Cao Yang's eyes also turned strange when he looked at Zheng the Blind. Ten minutes ago, Zheng the Blind pointed to his head and said that the woman had a problem here.
How could he say now that the woman wasn't crazy at all?
Was he drunk?
Was he talking nonsense?
But Jiang Cheng maintained considerable patience.
"Not only is this woman not crazy, but she's also a very kind person." Zheng the Blind recalled, "Every time a treatment ends, she always expresses her gratitude to the doctors and nurses."
"I've seen her a few times, and every time she takes the initiative to greet me."
His expression changed slightly, and Jiang Cheng's fingers unconsciously clenched the wine glass.
If what Zheng the Blind said was true, then Jiang Cheng believed that the woman's experience was less like treatment and more like imprisonment.
Speaking of this, Zheng the Blind became emotional, "The woman is pitiful. She was harmed like this, and they still won't let her go."
"She was framed," Jiang Cheng seemed to have some ideas.
"Isn't that right?" Zheng the Blind said angrily, "At that time, there were rumors in the hospital that the woman's husband had found a woman with a very high status, and the other woman couldn't tolerate her. So, she found someone to issue some bogus appraisal, and then defined the woman as having a mental problem."
"This made it easy to send the woman here. Without the woman in the way, that couple of dogs could live happily ever after!"
"They're so cruel!" Cao Yang gritted his teeth as he listened.
Being treated like a mental patient in such a closed room for more than a year, such a thing would probably drive him crazy if it happened to him.
"What happened after that?" After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng was still concerned about what happened next. According to Zheng the Blind, the woman was later killed.
"Later, I don't know what happened. Some people said that the man's new lover was tired of the man and proposed breaking up, but the man was always persistent. Later, the new lover half-threatened and half-indifferently said, 'If you can make your wife disappear forever, then there's still a chance.'"
"Later... later, the man really came, with a knife!"
"Cruel, really cruel. At that time, the woman had just eaten breakfast and was resting in bed. As a result, the man rushed in and slit her throat with a knife!"
"I heard that the blood that spurted out splattered all over the wall, even on the ceiling!"
"At that time, the hospital also organized people to rescue her, but in fact, the woman was already dying at that time. The hospital was just going through the motions, after all..." Zheng the Blind gritted his teeth, "Such a thing happened, and the hospital also has an unshirkable responsibility."
It was more than just an unshirkable responsibility, it was an accomplice.
They should have been aware of the problem inside long ago, but no one said anything. After all, for every day of treatment, they would get a day's worth of money.
This fee must have been quite attractive.
What made Jiang Cheng even colder was the woman's husband.
To still be able to kill someone like that, Jiang Cheng felt that the real madman was not the woman, but her husband.
The things that happened later were much simpler.
The man who killed the woman didn't escape.
He was blocked in room 624 by the people who came later.
In the end, in despair, he jumped off the building and committed suicide.
It was considered the end of his shameful life.
Because this incident was definitely a shocking scandal, once it was exposed, it would be a fatal blow to the hospital's reputation.
Therefore, the hospital kept its mouth shut and ordered all those who knew about it to keep it a secret.
"Do you know about ward 906?" Since he had already spoken so openly, Jiang Cheng no longer hid anything and simply asked.
"The woman in there is the nurse who used to work in the psychiatry department." Zheng the Blind sighed, "Not long after this happened, she suddenly went crazy."
"She must have been stimulated by this incident," Cao Yang said, expressing his understanding.
But when he heard Cao Yang's words, Zheng the Blind suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Cao Yang's face. Cao Yang felt unnerved by the stare.
The room was already dark, and Zheng the Blind's eyes were very cloudy.
Afterwards, Zheng the Blind shifted his gaze and looked at Jiang Cheng, but there wasn't much emotion in Jiang Cheng's eyes. He was just slowly drinking his wine, his face very calm.
"Do you believe in karma?" Zheng the Blind looked at Jiang Cheng and asked.
Jiang Cheng nodded his chin, "I do."
Hearing this sentence, Zheng the Blind took a deep breath, and then his whole hunched body straightened up.
"That nurse wasn't driven crazy by this incident." Zheng the Blind lowered his voice, "She was scared crazy by something..."
"Scared crazy?" Cao Yang's expression changed slightly.
He didn't know why, but when Zheng the Blind said the words "something," Cao Yang felt that the temperature around him had dropped several degrees in an instant.
He uncontrollably rubbed his arms, trying to warm himself up.
"Scared by what?" Jiang Cheng shrugged, his tone indifferent, "Scared by the ghost of the dead woman?"
Hearing this, not only Cao Yang, but even Zheng the Blind was stunned.
They didn't expect this young man, who looked so delicate, to be so bold. Was it okay to say such things so casually?
After a moment, Zheng the Blind took a deep breath, but his face was extremely gloomy. He swallowed his saliva, not affirming, but not denying either.
He just told the next story in a narrative tone, "Not long after this incident, one day when she was working the night shift, the elevator broke down. The nurse was trapped in the elevator. By the time they rescued her, she had already completely fainted, huddled in the corner, holding herself tightly with both hands, as if she was guarding against something."
"Her fingers were hooked, like animal claws." Zheng the Blind recalled the scene at that time, as if it was still vivid in his mind.
"In the end, they rescued her for a long time before she woke up, but it was useless. She was completely stupid." Zheng the Blind looked at Jiang Cheng, "No matter what you asked her, she didn't react at all, just lowered her head and kept muttering something in a low voice."
"Later, someone got very close and heard clearly that she was saying..." Zheng the Blind suddenly raised his head, his cloudy eyes staring dead at Jiang Cheng, and said word by word, "She's back!"
