Chapter 38

Gu Changzheng pushed open the iron gate to find a thicket of thorns and bushes, and further ahead was a mixed forest. It was pitch black inside, and the lights inside the wall were completely blocked by the towering wall, forming two worlds inside and outside.

Gu Changzheng did not search inside. He stooped down and, with the help of the light from the flashlight in Luo Fei's hand, carefully observed the bushes behind the door. Suddenly, he reached out and pinched something from a bush branch covered with small thorns. When he retracted his hand, Luo Fei saw clearly that it was a thin blue thread!

"This Tan Yang is very likely hiding on Mount Fenghuang. Xiao Luo, you immediately contact Director Gao, arrange personnel to block all exits down the mountain, and let the security personnel in the hospital follow me into the mountain first. This Tan Yang escaping is very likely to commit a crime again. He won't stay in the mountain forever. We'll drive him out tonight!"

Luo Fei understood his intention. He looked at Gu Changzheng's stooped waist and the pitch-black mountain forest and said: "Captain Gu, let me go! You stay outside; this place needs you more. Besides, that Tan Yang has no weapons and looks weak. If I meet him, I can handle it alone!"

Gu Changzheng looked at the pitch-black forest, knowing he was worried about his body. He smiled and said: "Don't underestimate me. In terms of fighting level, you might not be stronger than me! Alright, you also said that Tan Yang is like a woman. Besides, I'm not going into the mountain alone. Go! Speed is the essence of war. He has been in for almost 2 hours. If the downhill passage isn't blocked, it's really possible for him to slip out!"

Luo Fei saw him say this and couldn't insist anymore. He handed the flashlight in his hand to Gu Changzheng and said: "Received! I'll have the security department people come over immediately! Captain Gu, be careful!"

Gu Changzheng smiled, took the flashlight, and looked for the footprints left by Tan Yang on the ground...

The timeline returns to two hours ago. After being sent to the City Anding Hospital designated by the court, Tan Yang behaved very obediently. If it weren't for knowing in advance that he had just dismembered the corpse of an adult male, the feeling he gave people was that kind of harmless, obedient kid!

Huh! Maybe it's a bit discordant to describe a man in his 30s like this, but this Tan Yang really gave people a feeling of a big brother next door. His fair skin, slender figure, and good-looking face really made it impossible for people to see his true age, let alone see that he could dismember his own kind without changing his expression!

In the few days since coming in, I paid attention to that iron gate on the back wall, and also discovered that the Yiran Building where I live is the same for every room, and the doors of each room are separated by equal distances. If you don't look carefully, it's easy to enter the wrong room.

He knew that Liu Baoshan had no chance to live! He also understood that when he was caught, he shouted that he was a lunatic and pointed out the fact that he had been sexually assaulted by him, all to cover for him, wanting him to keep his life!

At that time, he wanted to rush toward the police with the boning knife in his hand. That way, he might be shot dead directly, and then the two of them could continue to rely on each other on the road to the underworld! But at that moment, he understood Liu Baoshan's intention! Yes! That person was not dead yet. If both of them were gone, there would be no one in this world to avenge them!

So he had to save himself first to survive! And the meaning of living was to kill Hu Feng! The demon who ruined his and Liu Baoshan's life!

Perhaps he already had a dual personality, perhaps he was originally a patient with split personality disorder. In short, he was successfully identified as a "mentally ill patient", a lunatic!

Perhaps in the eyes of these medical staff, lunatics have no brains, right? Here, besides being installed with iron railings and iron doors everywhere, there were just a few more security guards! In Tan Yang's view, these were not much different from normal hospitals outside. These all made him full of confidence in escaping from here.

So how to create an illusion to make the nurse think he had returned to the ward made him think hard for a long time.

Finally, after a few days of observation, he discovered that the attending nurse on his floor had poor eyesight, and coupled with her great confidence in the hospital's protective measures, the management of patients like them was not done 24/7 without blind spots!

He discovered that the young man with severe autism living in Room 316, right next to his Room 317, had to wear a mask and a sleeping cap whenever he left his ward. Perhaps only this could give him a sense of security? And he also discovered a rule these past few days: that nurse with poor eyesight had a habit. When sending patients back to their rooms, she only watched the patients enter the room and didn't pay attention to the room number.

His treatment time every day was the same as 316, but every time he returned before 316. After he thought he was prepared, he decided to implement the escape plan immediately.

Before the treatment started that day, he first hid a discarded paperclip he had swiped from the nurse station. When he returned, he went directly into the empty Room 316. After confirming that the nurse had locked the door and left, he used the paperclip to insert into the keyhole from the inside to pry open the door lock, took advantage of the corridor being empty to quickly lock the door of 317 next door, and then returned to 316, leaving the door slightly ajar, hiding behind the door himself. After doing all this, he just waited for the patient in 316 to return.

When the patient in 316 returned, the nurse really didn't notice that she had already sent a patient back to this room. Seeing the door slightly ajar, she thought there was definitely no one in this room (generally, after a single patient leaves the ward, the ward door is not locked, so the nurse saw the door was open and took it for granted that no patient had entered this room). After the patient in 316 entered, she locked the door directly and left.

This was also the reason why she definitely believed that Tan Yang had long since returned to Room 317.

After the autistic patient in 316 entered the room, he sat on the bed and faced the wall to "meditate" without looking sideways, not noticing at all that there was one more person in the room!

After the nurse walked far away, Tan Yang repeated his old trick, pried open the door lock, and slipped out of 316. When he reached the nurse station on the first floor, taking advantage of the opportunity of few nurses on duty at night, he slipped past under the high platform of the nurse station, stole a white coat and mask from the doctor's duty room, disguised himself as a doctor on duty, used the access card in the doctor's pocket to open the first-floor door, and then used his body to block the surveillance camera and threw the access card hard toward the back.

After leaving the building, he walked quickly to the iron gate at the back wall, pried open the padlock on the door, took off the white coat outside, walked a few steps forward through the bushes, ran back and forth around the small forest a few times, and then carefully stepped on the footprints he had just left, walking backward to the door. Returning to the wall again, he deliberately locked the padlock in reverse, creating an illusion that he had locked it from outside the door.

And he himself took the opportunity to hide at the bottom of the truck transporting supplies to the hospital and left the hospital!
