Searching inside the room, Bai Xiaoxiao helped Ning Qiushui guard the door to prevent any strange people from entering.
For example, the person last time who was running unsteadily and had a pair of blood-red eyes.
Not long after, Ning Qiushui found a photo in the room.
The photo showed a woman wearing a mask and a loose hospital gown and another man in a white coat with a bright smile on his face.
This photo was taken at the entrance of the apartment complex.
At first glance, there was nothing strange about it, but the attentive Ning Qiushui quickly discovered the problem.
"No, why are the hospital gowns on women so loose?"
He frowned.
Generally speaking, hospital gowns are mainly made to make patients comfortable and to allow doctors and nurses to identify the patient at a glance.
So it's normal for the hospital gown to be a little bigger, but it's definitely not that big. Even the shoulders are obviously wider.
This hospital gown obviously doesn't look like a woman got it, but it does look like the man next to her.
The white coat worn by the man would be more suitable if worn by a woman.
"Are they wearing their clothes inside out?"
Looking at the two people in the photo, Ning Qiushui suddenly remembered what the old woman in 209 told her before.
That is, the people living in 404 are not a couple, but a doctor and his patient.
There's something not quite right here.
That's why an old woman who can't even remember Wang Fang, the landlord, clearly remembers that there are doctors and patients in room 404?
Moreover, the old woman was a little confused when she said this before. It seemed that even she herself didn't know why she could remember this.
The old lady thought it was the police officer who told her in passing when he was questioning her.
But Ning Qiushui felt that things were not that simple.
Judging from the memory of this old woman, if it was just a casual sentence mentioned by the police more than 20 years ago, she would not be able to remember it for so many years.
The fact that there was a doctor and a patient in Room 404 must have left a deep impression on this old lady in some way, so that she, who already had a very bad memory, could still clearly remember this after decades. thing.
"The people in this apartment don't feel mentally normal..."
Ning Qiushui's eyes were like water.
Whether it was Jiang Ah Si, his girlfriend Asi, or the female victim who always thought her right side was too fat and used a knife to cut her flesh, all of them had mental illnesses.
And this is the way the "murderer" hunts his prey.
His prey was not "killed", but "died" of illness.
Compared with traditional killing methods, this kind of murder is obviously more secretive and unpredictable.
The police can't catch people.
Because the murderer did not kill them with his own hands, nor did he leave any traces of the crime.
The murderer knows how to silently invade the spirit of his prey, causing them to suffer from "psychotic illnesses" that will force them to die, and finally let them kill themselves or each other.
My thoughts returned to the worn photo in front of me.
"Men are doctors and women are patients."
"But because they wear their clothes backwards, does that mean...that women are actually the doctors and men are the patients?"
"Why is he wearing a doctor's clothes?"
Ning Qiushui stared at the woman in the photo, looking at it carefully and again, always feeling like she had seen this woman's eyes before somewhere.
Where have you seen it?
Since Ning Qiushui didn't meet many people in this dungeon, he just did a little investigation and found that this woman's eyes were very similar to the old lady who lived in 209.
"Qiu Shui, what did you find?"
Bai Xiaoxiao saw that Ning Qiushui kept looking down at the photo. Although she knew that the murderer would not kill anyone again today, she could not help but feel worried, so she asked.
Ning Qiushui raised the photo in her hand and informed Bai Xiaoxiao of her discovery.
The latter came over to take a look and expressed his inner guess:
"...The murderer is good at using people's subconscious mind and mental control, so he should be a master in psychology. This kind of person is either the attending physician of a mental hospital, or a mental patient who has been receiving treatment all year round."
"I know a very good psychologist in Kyoto, and he told me to be extra careful when interacting with some mentally ill people, because these mentally ill people have some cognitive impairments. They are just crazy, but not stupid, and are even worse than others. Normal people are much smarter.”
"There was a special case in one of the four hospitals in Kyoto. When she interacted with her attending doctor, she even learned the doctor's method of hypnotizing her, and then in turn controlled her attending doctor through hypnosis and escaped from mental illness. hospital……"
"Looking at the situation in the photos, it seems to be somewhat similar to it."
Hypnosis.
From a certain perspective, this is also a form of mind control.
It's just that none of the murderers behaved so horribly.
But the murderer is not a human, but a "weird".
It is also expected to amplify some human abilities.
After all, this is the world behind the door, and anything is possible.
"If the speculation is true, then this woman should be the man's psychiatrist, but during the contact process, she was brainwashed by the man and completed her mind control."
"In the end, their identities were switched."
"So it looked like they were wearing very mismatched clothes."
Bai Xiaoxiao is not a light-saving lamp either. Her thoughts are active, she comes into contact with more people and things outside, and her horizons should be broader.
"But I have a question that I'm curious about..."
"The woman in the photo should be the old lady from 209...which means she did not die in the massacre in the apartment more than 20 years ago."
"But the murderer killed everyone in this building, but left this old man alone. Is there anything special about her?"
Bai Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
Now that things have developed to this point, both of them have some speculations in their minds, that is, the "murderer" is probably the patient in Room 404 pretending to be a doctor.
But they don't have enough evidence yet, so they can't be completely sure.
If they make a mistake, they could be in big trouble.
Bai Xiaoxiao's experience tells her that as the only means to end this mission, the "police" will not let them do whatever they want.
If the "police" comes by then and the murderer they identify is wrong, then they are likely to pay an extremely heavy price for it!
