Chapter 24 Can I take a look at Zhang Family?

It has been half a month since I was sentenced and locked up in the current mental hospital. I always like to sit by the window of the ward and look at the real mental patients in the yard. It is boring and comfortable.It's just a pity that those doctors and nurses are afraid to approach me, they are afraid that my second personality will suddenly appear and kill them. Of course, the so-called second personality is just my nonsense.

I heard that today is a family visit day. I thought I had no relatives and no reason, but I was told that someone would come to visit?

My eyes lit up, and I happily asked the nurse who informed me, "Is it sir? Sir came to see me?!"

The nurse did not answer me with a pale face. She took me to the front hall of the hospital. Standing there was Uncle Li in a police uniform. His face was deeply tired and there were thick dark circles under his eyes.

"Uncle Li." I was a little disappointed, but still smiled at him.

Uncle Li rubbed my hair, smiled kindly and asked, "How are you doing? If you need anything, you can talk to the nurses."

I shook my head and said obediently, "Well, it's very quiet here, but it's boring."

"That's good." Uncle Li sighed, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff between his mouth, and looked sadly at the garden outside the window, exhaling acrid smoke rings.

I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle Li, do you have anything to say?"

"Officer Lin is gone, you..." Uncle Li looked back at me complicatedly, and said solemnly, "Do you know something?"

"Huh?" I tilted my head in confusion.

Uncle Li frowned, stared at me sharply, and said, "I didn't pay attention to it before, but... According to our investigation, you were originally the child of a Mr. and Mrs. Wang in Meishan Village, but died in a car accident when you were three years old. You were adopted by a man after staying in an orphanage in a nearby town for half a year, and then you settled down in Meishan Village until the man disappeared 11 years ago..."

The smile on the corner of my mouth was stiff, and I gradually lowered my head, clenched my palms on the side of my trouser legs, and my fingertips turned white.

"And as far as I know, Police Officer Lin has been missing for several years because of his mission. Police Officer Lin suddenly returned to the army three months after that man disappeared. The timing between this is too coincidental, and your attitude..." Uncle Li continued Said.

I suddenly raised my head and interrupted him, "You said sir is missing?"

Seeing Uncle Li looked at me suspiciously and nodded, I pursed my lips and said awkwardly, "I know sir... no, where is dad?"

"As I said, I was locked in a small room when I was very young, and I never went out..." Facing Uncle Li's astonishment, I lowered my head and fell into the memory, whispering softly, "Mom and brother My father told me about everything. He said that my mother didn’t like me so he locked me up. He said that my brother is very good and the most dazzling existence. He said that he is a teacher. He said that we live in Meishan Village... all Everything my father said..."

"After my father disappeared, I stepped out of the cage. There were no women's skirts or children's schoolbags at home... I knew when the sir told me that he was investigating his brother Lin Changsong! I knew what he said It's all fake, I never had a mother or brother, and I don't have any bones that were found, only sir, it's my father!!" I covered my face and growled in pain, and now these words are like my ruthless Vigorously uncover the scars hidden in the bottom of my heart, and pierce my self-deception all the time.

I'm not telling Uncle Li the truth, I'm just venting the absurdity I've suppressed in my heart, I took a deep breath, and when I calmed down my turbulent thoughts, I whispered, "I slowly guessed something later, until I saw sir , I know... Dad doesn't exist..."

I didn't go any further, I raised my head and smiled at Uncle Li beggingly, "Can I go home and have a look?"

"Where is Police Officer Lin?" Uncle Li frowned and asked, but I smiled and didn't speak.

Uncle Li rubbed his eyebrows, took another puff of the cigarette, snuffed out the spark in the cigarette butt in his hand, threw it into the trash can, and then sighed helplessly, "Let me try it!"

"Thank you, Uncle Li!" I grinned happily, and the corners of my eyes were slightly moist.
