“Sister, shouldn’t you be reasonable?”
The family member of a patient in another ward who was watching the excitement couldn’t bear to watch it anymore and couldn’t help but say, “Your son is allowed to strangle a child, but he’s not allowed to fight back? If he had strangled him to death, would you take responsibility?”
“They just rely on the fact that their son is mentally ill. It’s not against the law for a mentally ill person to kill someone. I think the hospital shouldn’t let them in. It would be better to let them out if their legs are broken to prevent them from harming other people in the future.”
“Before, someone said that the child was a monster. After watching him for a long time, I didn’t see anything wrong with the child. But everyone in this family is one weirder and more unreasonable than the other…”
Someone started the conversation, and the patients and their families who were not happy with the behavior of Mother Yao and her family started to criticize them. Some of them only joined in the fun after the police arrived; but there were also a few who had previously followed the woman’s family in accusing Jiang Chi, but now that the wind had changed, they turned against them and joined in complaining about Mother Yao.
Jiang Chi watched without blinking as Mother Yao’s face turned red under the siege of the crowd. At first, she was still able to curse at others fiercely, but after a few words, she was defeated and fled like a prodigal dog.
“Come over.” Jiang Lan took him by the hand, not paying attention to the different looks around him.
Human beings were just such a complex race. Thousands of years of group living had endowed them with an innate instinct to be gregarious. This instinct often made them lose their own judgment and become followers who just followed the crowd. They were easily led astray by preconceived ideas and blinded by partial listening and partial belief, and they formed groups to exclude those who were not gregarious.
Just like when Jiang Chi was accused of being a monster by a mental patient, many people actually didn’t know the truth. They only saw the blood all over the patient’s head and face, and the unique horns on Jiang Chi’s head, so they subconsciously stood on the patient’s side, even if the other party was actually a mental patient and crazy.
Just because Jiang Chi was the “oddball” who didn’t fit in.
This was what was meant by “those who are not of my race must have different hearts.”
But now the police had come, and more and more evidence showed that Jiang Chi was the victim. After more contacts, more and more people realized that Jiang Chi was not as scary and aggressive as they thought. Even the horns on his head gradually had a reasonable explanation in their minds – he had a strange disease.
When the police’s scale of justice gradually tilted towards Jiang Chi, and when some rational people stopped remaining silent and stood up to show their support, these people who liked to “fit in” quickly changed camps and stood against Mother Yao and her family.
They couldn’t simply say that these people were bad, but they couldn’t be said to be very good either.
If he had to describe it, the word “confused” could probably sum it up.
Jiang Lan didn’t care about these confused spectators. All he needed to do was to punish the perpetrators and make them pay the price so that they wouldn’t dare to do it again.
When the two walked to the nurses’ station, they heard an unfamiliar policeman holding up his cell phone and saying, “The surveillance footage has been retrieved. At 12:25 p.m., the patient Yao Shun ran out of the ward, then rushed out of the ward while screaming. About two or three minutes later, Jiang Chi chased out of the ward with his coat wrapped around his head. Judging from the surveillance footage, he must have been trying to get his hat back.”
As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Lan and the other man approaching. The policeman paused, handed the phone to his colleagues, and motioned for them to watch it themselves: “From the video, it seems that Yao Shun had great malice towards Jiang Chi. I suspect that he has imagined Jiang Chi to be his imaginary enemy…”
That’s why he attacked him, snatched his hat, and continued to provoke him maliciously.
The video clip was not long, but because it was taken during the day, the picture was very clear.
When they saw Jiang Chi grabbing Yao Shun’s clothes and ending up in a stalemate, they suddenly saw Mother Yao rush forward and push Jiang Chi away, causing Yao Shun to suddenly lose his balance and fall from the railing. Several policemen looked at each other in surprise.
There seemed to be two big words written on everyone’s face: That’s it?
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yao Shun’s fall from the building was closely related to his mother’s impulsive and reckless behavior.
Instead, she insisted that it was Jiang Chi who pushed the person.
This was what was called the thief crying “stop thief”.
The police officers involved in the investigation had a worse impression of the family, and at the same time, they felt even more sympathetic towards Jiang Chi.
At this point in the investigation, the truth had been revealed. They had evidence and witness testimonies, and they didn’t even need to wait for Yao Shun to be transferred to a regular ward to take samples for comparison. They could already reconstruct the original appearance of this farce.
The old policeman who led the team looked at the time and said, “Call it a day.”
Then he said to Jiang Lan and Mother Yao and family, “You should also come to the police station. Jiang Chi’s injuries need to be evaluated. Yao Shun also needs to get a certificate. Let’s go to the designated institution for a mental evaluation first.”
Mother Yao’s eyelids jumped, and she subconsciously wanted to speak, but was stopped by her husband. Father Yao put on a sincere smile and asked politely: “This… the child hasn’t come out of the emergency room yet, can you wait a little longer?”
“There are four of you here. Just leave three people to guard the hospital and send a representative to go with us.” The young policeman rolled his eyes secretly.
“That’s fine.” Upon hearing this, Father Yao gave a dry laugh, and finally took Mother Yao with him to the police station.
Because the dispute occurred in the hospital, in addition to the two parties involved, the hospital director also went along.
The group left the hospital and went to the police station.
When they walked into the police station, Mother Yao secretly pulled her husband’s arm and whispered, “Why do I feel like we’re going to suffer a loss in this matter?”
What was originally a done deal changed when the police arrived. She was a little unsure now. She was worried that they would end up having to pay the money. That young man didn’t look like someone they could mess with.
Father Yao frowned, feeling a little anxious. He thought for a moment and said, “Now that everyone is here, let’s see what the police say. Even if the child’s parents don’t want to pay, there’s still the hospital. If something happens to someone in the hospital, they can’t run away.”
“That’s right.” Thinking of this, Mother Yao’s expression relaxed a little, and she said to herself: “There is still the hospital.”
Hospitals were most afraid of trouble. At worst, if the situation got out of hand, the hospital would have to pay more.
She had a plan in mind, and her back, which had collapsed due to guilty conscience, straightened up again.
