Chapter 556 Mental Hospital
At the local police station, Duanmuhuai found some clues, although at the beginning, the sheriff did not like their visit. But after learning that they were invited by Count Best, he felt relieved.
According to the police, this must have been done by some gangsters.
The reason why they have this judgment comes from solid evidence.
According to the police''s autopsy records, the people who were killed before were all killed by some kind of creature. The photos in the magazine were purely accidental, and that was just one of the wounds. In fact, the perpetrators did not bite their necks but their whole body, as if they were killed by some group of beasts.
Although the autopsy records do die from excessive blood loss, this is completely different from the rumored vampires - no matter who has so many wounds on his body, he will die from blood loss.
As for the cemetery, it was indeed excavated, but all the traces showed that someone dug up the grave from the outside. If it was a vampire, it would definitely not be from the outside, but from the inside.
To put it bluntly, those magazines are title parties, deliberately taken out of context.
The reason why the police judged it was a gangster was not completely unfounded. Because those corpses... were not locals at all, and they were not outsiders either. According to the results of their investigation, these people are all foreigners, and all are refugees who have entered the country illegally!
So the police determined that this should be something that the organization related to human trafficking did, or they might have had internal conflicts, maybe they had some conflicts with these refugees, and then killed the other party and tried to destroy the body.
Of course, there are also contradictions. For example, if it is human trafficking, why do you need to kill people in this way? Just queue up and shoot them. According to the police, this is to make other refugees obedient, and the victim is likely to be bitten to death by a vicious dog raised by a criminal group - this can also be used to explain the strange tooth marks on the victim.
Therefore, they are now investigating nearby gangs to investigate whether there are any clues about human trafficking - so in the opinion of the police, this is just a simple and bad murder case, but it must be inseparable from legends like vampires.
"Anyway, please tell Count Best that our police will find the prisoner and bring it to justice!"
After saying this, the police chief invited Duanmu Huai and others out of the police station.
“………………”
Mary held the notebook in her hand and looked at Duanmu Huai with a confused look on her face.
"Mr. Duanmu, what should I do next?"
"The police''s investigation is their business, but they also said that as long as they do not interfere with their investigation, it''s fine. Well... you still remember the location of the bodies being discovered."
“Ah, yes.”
Hearing Duanmuhuai’s inquiry, Mary nodded and then opened the notebook.
"It was in a large renovated mansion in Vinater Bay. According to the police, it was originally an abandoned mansion. Later, a gentleman named Vince Court bought it and planned to completely renovate it. During the renovation process, workers were found missing one after another, and then the bodies were found..."
Speaking here, Mary frowned.
"And, the bodies found were completely unrelated to the missing workers, and they were all males. According to the autopsy report, the death should have been a few weeks ago."
"So the police are investigating in the direction of human trafficking and gang transactions. They want to find the missing workers, but unfortunately they have no gains... Where is Vincecott?"
"That gentleman seems to have been shocked and stimulated by some kind of shock. He is currently recuperating in a state mental sanatorium. The police have also tried to investigate him, but... it seems that he has gained nothing."
"Hehe, the mental hospital is another familiar place."
Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.
"Huh? Familiar?"
"Yes, mortals who face monsters will do this, because they sense the existence that they cannot understand, which leads to mental breakdown and then become madmen. Everything he says will naturally be regarded as crazy words by ordinary people and then sent directly to the mental hospital. You have to tell others about your experience, and you will probably end up like them - so you have to find clues. The mental hospital is really a good place."
"Well………"
Hearing this, Mary''s face turned pale.
"Do you have to go? I''m a little scared..."
"It depends on yourself. Didn''t you say you wanted to record the investigation and write it into a novel?"
“………I’ll go!”
Mary also fought hard for her dream.
Although she had made a decision, Mary could not contain her inner doubts on the way to the mental hospital.
"Mr. Duanmu, you said that humans will go crazy when they see those things... But we have seen a lot of similar things. Why don''t I think it''s too dangerous?? And it seems normal for you and Miss Lorena?"
Looking at Duanmu Huai, Mary raised the question in her heart in confusion. She was not afraid of those monsters, whether it was Shugs, Baskerville''s magic dog, or the incarnation of Glaki who Mary killed before. It was disgusting enough to say, and it was indeed terrible. Mary had also shivered in front of them.
But for Mary, it seems that it is just like this, just like going to a haunted house or watching a horror movie. When she was scared, she was naturally scared, but after a nap, she was not so scared.
So it is difficult for Mary to understand why ordinary people go crazy when they see those monsters.
"This is not difficult to understand. You should already know that Lorena and I come from different worlds. In our world, similar monsters are common. As the judge, there are not a thousand or eight hundred subspace creatures I want to execute, and as the priest of the tour, there are also many demons and monsters that Lorena encounters."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai spread his hands.
"So for us, the monsters here are disgusting, but for us it''s nothing great. If you hold on to death, you''ll be a strange disgusting monster."
"Um………"
"But people in this world are different. They didn''t grow up watching monsters since childhood, nor did they think monsters would exist. Therefore, when they witnessed the existence of these monsters with their own eyes, their entire worldview would collapse... You can imagine that it was like a matter that was taken for granted in daily life, but suddenly they realized that this was not the case. How terrifying would be at that time."
"Uh...sorry, I can''t seem to understand."
Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.
"If you find that the humans you see are not what you see, what will you react?"
“……???”
"It''s very simple. Suppose you see hallucinations now, and the patterns captured by your eyes are not real images. In fact, including me, Lorena, and your good friends, our real bodies look like wriggling pieces of flesh, and blood vessels shaking like snakes on the outside, and the whole body is covered with eyes covered with films. Suppose one day, you suddenly see that all human beings have become like this. What will you react?"
“Woo……”
Hearing this, Mary''s face turned pale.
"This...this is indeed terrible..."
"The same is true for these people. They have been exposed to things that should not exist in this world. Because of this, their senses of this world begin to move towards those things... Simply put, can you imagine one day using the tentacles of an ant or the eyes of bees to perceive what the world will become?"
"Woo... please don''t say it anymore, I feel a little uncomfortable..."
Just thinking about it, Mary''s face was ashen and shaking.
"That''s it. Those people just went crazy because they couldn''t bear such a blow."
"But it doesn''t seem like this?"
"Thank you for your golden eyes, because of it, your spirit will always be stable. As you said, horror is horror, just sleep... You will know what ordinary people without golden eyes will become after seeing those monsters."
While speaking, the group also came to the mental hospital outside the city. It looked extremely gloomy and the surrounding windows were completely blocked by railings. Walking in it, the patients wearing hospital gowns were also weak, while the caregivers looked as lifeless as walking corpses. Of course, none of these are the key points. Duanmuhuai found Dr. Berg, the director of the mental hospital, and expressed his identity, and hoped to meet Vincecott.
"no."
The Mediterranean doctor wearing glasses directly rejected Duanmu Huai''s request.
"The patient was very excited and was currently detained in a ward specifically used to contain patients with extremely violent tendencies. He cannot be stimulated at all now, especially..."
As he spoke, the Mediterranean looked Duanmuhuai up and down and narrowed his eyes.
"Especially dangerous people like you who can cause mental trauma to others."
“…………………”
Even if it is true, Duanmu Huai wants to do it now. Is there anyone who says that?
Although it is indeed true...
So Duanmuhuai took action directly.
He reached out his hand, walked directly over the desk, grabbed the Mediterranean doctor''s neck, and lifted him up directly.
"What do you want to do?"
The Mediterranean was also pale at this moment, and he struggled desperately to open his mouth and tried to shout. However, Duanmu Huai just exerted a little force with his right hand, and his screams suddenly turned into invisible.
"Like you said, I''m not a good guy to deal with, Dr. Berg."
Duanmuhuai looked at the Mediterranean''s eyes coldly, exuding a trace of murderous intent, and then spoke.
"If you are unwilling to agree to my request, then I have to reluctantly bring you a little mental trauma."
"Wait, wait a minute, if you do this, I will call the police..."
"This is a mental hospital. Maybe the doctor is also a mental illness. Can the mental illness believe what the mental illness says?"
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai held his right hand tightly again.
"Or, would you rather be a corpse than being taken into custody as a mentally ill?"
“Woo…………………………”
"I will only give you one chance to take us to see him, YES or NO?"
“………………”
At this moment, the Mediterranean was already ashen and could not speak. He could only nod his head desperately and hard - after all, his life was more important.
Very good, a great deterrence success.
Duanmuhuai nodded with satisfaction, then let go of his hand, and then the Mediterranean fell heavily to the ground. Duanmu Huai looked down at him and said lightly.
"Okay, lead the way."
