The villa is very spacious and quiet inside, and it doesn't look like it has been inhabited for a long time.
However, whether it is the marble floor, the reliefs on the walls, or even the piano in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, they are all wiped spotless. Being used to the darkness and crampedness in old buildings, Lu Xin even felt a little restrained sitting in a villa like this.
After sitting down on the sofa in the living room, the man who looked like a butler served tea, a plate of fruit and snacks to Lu Xin and the fat manager Liu, and then quietly withdrew. Taking advantage of this time, Lu Xin gave yesterday's fat man named Liu to himself, and had carefully read it. He even asked Han Bing to help him sign the contract that he had confirmed was correct, and each of them kept a copy.
"Do you have to be completely cured before you can give me this hundred thousand reward?"
When handing over the contract, Lu Xin also confirmed.
"Yes."
The fat manager Liu said with a smile: "It's like seeing a doctor, it's not over until the patient recovers, isn't it?"
Lu Xin nodded and said: "Sometimes, even if you are optimistic, your mental state needs to recuperate."
The fat manager Liu was startled and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will consider these. Inside!"
Lu Xin felt relieved and said, "Where is the person you want me to see?"
When he asked this, Suddenly, I heard the sound of wheels rolling on the smooth ground from behind a door next to the living room. When the door was opened, three or four staff members in white coats walked in, pushing an upright iron box about two meters high. The box was tightly sealed, and there were crazy bangs and bangs from inside. Knocking sound.
There was also a faint roaring sound like a wounded beast, painful and angry.
"She's here!"
An old man on crutches came out from behind the box. He was wearing a crisp suit and his hair was not messed up.
But his eyes looked a little tired, and when he walked, one leg looked a little weak.
"I will not participate in the specific treatment process. Let the two of you chat."
The fat man stood up, smiled at the old man, and motioned to Lu Xin , then took the bag and went out.
At the same time, the staff who pushed the iron box in also walked out together.
In the empty living room, soon only Lu Xin, the old man on crutches, and the iron box that made a crashing sound were left.
"Please sit down!"
The old man with a cane placed it on the sofa. After asking Lu Xin to sit down, he sighed softly, glanced at the iron box, and said : "Here is my daughter, her name is Xiaoxiao. She is just 21 years old this year. She just graduated from Qinggang New University in the main city last year. She studied the research and preservation of old-era art. Even her tutor, Everyone often praises her for her talent in this area..."
"Just three months ago, she even just got engaged.We have a good relationship with each other..."
"Oh, but no one expected that at this moment, she would suddenly...go crazy..."
"No matter what doctor, no specific reason can be found, so I can only suspect that she was contaminated..."
"..."
Lu Xin thought After thinking for a while, he said: "Then why are you looking for me? In this area, I am not... very professional. ”
“I have already found many people!
The old gentleman sighed in a low voice and said: "I used my connections and invited some experts to come and take a look in private. Although everyone suspected that she was contaminated, they could not detect anything." Abnormal mental power remains. Moreover, we usually live in the main city and are relatively strict in the investigation and treatment of mental pollution. Logically speaking, she cannot come into contact with the source of pollution..."
" Then..."
Lu Xin frowned slightly and said, "Is she really crazy? "
"No! "
The old man's face suddenly became a little serious and said: "I believe it is absolutely not the case. There is no genetic history in our family, and if she is crazy, it may only be due to strong stimulation, but I After investigating her experience before the accident, no major changes were found. No matter from any angle, it was inexplicable that she slowly became like this! "
For his obviously fearful attitude, Lu Xin couldn't say anything else.
"Mr. Shanbing, please understand. "
At this time, Mr. Xu sighed and said: "I am seventy years old this year. All my previous family members died in the disaster thirty years ago, and she , is a daughter I only regained when I was fifty years old. I think this is a gift from God to me, so I will cure her at any cost, otherwise... I don't know what the meaning of life is. "
"Just one hundred thousand for such a daughter..."
Lu Xin muttered in her heart: "It's only one-fiftieth of the price of this villa..."
But he just thought about it, after all, the contract had been signed.
From the look on Mr. Xu’s face, he really cared about this girl.
< p>But he was also a little curious because of this, and said: "You care about her so much, but you see that she is already so serious, why don't you hand it over to the Special Pollution Research Institute? ""This..."
Mr. Xu hesitated slightly, and then replied: "Mr. Shanbing may not know that there are actually many people in the main city. Everyone is already aware of the existence of special pollution, and they are very concerned about it. If word spreads about Xiaoxiao's pollution, even if she has been cured, she may be ostracized by many people. In that case, she may ..."
"...It may have a serious impact on her reputation! "
"That would be a more serious outcome for her than death. ”
"And this is why I will only find someone to look at her privately instead of handing her over to the institute. Although I did not go through the official directly, I still tried my best and found many Professional diagnosis, what I hope now is that you professionals can cure Xiaoxiao in private, and... after curing her, continue to keep this matter a secret!"
"... ”
After asking these questions clearly, Lu Xin nodded slowly.
Then he finally looked at the iron box seriously, and said quietly: "Then let me take a look first!"
Mr. Xu let out a long breath. , nodded, then stood up with crutches, slowly came to the iron box, took out the key from his pocket, opened the lock on the box, and then subconsciously stepped back a few times when he opened the side cover of the box. step.
"Squeak"
The lid of the box popped out due to inertia.
It can be seen that the inside of the box is all sewn with special linings, as if to prevent the people inside from hurting themselves.
But when she looked inside the box, Lu Xin couldn't help but be slightly startled.
I saw that what was locked in this box was a young girl. She was only wearing a nightdress, her hair was messy, and she had several scars on her body, some of which were bandaged, and some of which were just injured. Then let it go. Although she looked very embarrassed and her eyes were blood-red, it could still be seen that she looked very beautiful, like a big star on TV.
Tight ties were tied around her neck, hands and feet, fixing her in the box.
There was even a plastic stick in his mouth.
But in this situation, she was still struggling hard and roared like a beast.
The violent banging sound in the box just now was caused by her beating the box with her only moving head.
......
......
Lu Xin couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "What are the symptoms of her madness?"
Mr. Xu's tone seemed a little sad. He rubbed his face hard and then said softly: "Mate!"
Lu Xin was obviously stunned for a moment.
Mr. Xu, on the other hand, seemed strangely tired: "Like animals, mating crazily, with anyone, or..."
He obviously couldn't speak any more.
