Police order

Chapter 516 Pica

In the bathroom, Lu Ling picked up the water with one hand and washed his face bit by bit, very slowly.

There are a lot of disabled people in the elderly, weak and sick prison area, so no one pays attention to Lu Ling's actions.

This dormitory is really nice, very clean and tasteless, but Lu Ling didn't know what was going on until the next day.

Those who live in this dormitory are relatively young, even the disabled are not too old.The boss of the dormitory is No. 14. He requires everyone to pay attention to hygiene and take a good bath regularly. Besides, he will take care of anyone whose sheets and quilts are too dirty.

This seems easy, but it is a bit difficult in this prison area.Some older people who are starting to behave badly are like hob meat in prison, and they are not afraid of anything.Their sentences are often very long, and whether they can go out does not depend on whether the sentence is up or not, but on whether they are physically able.In addition, there is no labor requirement, and no one dares to put them in confinement (for fear of being locked up to death), these people are qualified to be bad.

Anyone who has read "The Shawshank Redemption" will remember that people like the old librarian, when he is old enough, are more comfortable living in prison than outside.

"What are you looking at? Can't wash your face with one hand?" Seeing Lu Ling looking at him, No. 14 reprimanded him and pointed to the outside, "The person who picked you up last night also had one arm, do you need me to shout?" He taught you!"

"Boss, I was wrong, I'm sorry." Lu Ling immediately turned his head and left the bathroom with his head down.

It's not a day or two for Lu Ling to watch No. 14 play chess. From Lu Ling's point of view, No. 14 is a person with a good temper. He usually doesn't get angry when he loses chess. Why is he so angry in the dormitory?
Is there a problem with this laundry detergent?
Leaving the washroom, Lu Ling happened to meet the prison guards checking the post, and Lao Yue was also among the prison guards.

Lao Yue glanced at Lu Ling, then went on to do other things.However, Lu Ling could clearly see that Lao Yue shook his head slightly just now.

Is laundry detergent okay?

Then this is indeed pica.

Pica is generally seen in children and is a serious form of self-injury.Some people have long-term (at least a month) ingestion of non-nutrient substances such as paint, dirt, hair, plastic, etc.Usually seen in children, rarely in adults.

Lu Ling has seen No. 14 play chess, and his level is not low. His IQ must be normal. Why does he have pica?It is not normal to say that there is a lack of certain elements.So there is only one possibility, that is, there is a serious psychological problem.

Lu Ling also wanted to talk to Lao Yue about the past on the 14th, but finally gave up, Lao Yue seemed inconvenient.

At this time, Lao Yue and others were checking the dormitory, and left after checking for a while.

Lu Ling was a little surprised. Lao Yue's visit this time was definitely not just for this purpose. It should be to tell him some information.

In this way, he should have put the information on his bed.

Lu Ling's bed was the uppermost bunk on the outermost side, and he could see the iron door by lying on his side facing out. If there was any note, he would not be found if he took a peek.

Soon, when it was time to go to bed, everyone went to bed and lay down. When Lu Ling was tidying up the bed, he found a small piece of paper on the bed.

After everyone lay down, Lu Ling lay on his side and began to read the note.

It is always risky to look at it this way, so Lu Ling did not receive much information of this kind.Fortunately, there is no one on the side of the bed now, so the safety is OK.

Three things are said here.

The first is that Qingshan and No. 25 have officially broken up. The prison, especially the prison area before Lu Ling, will definitely be turbulent. In this case, some messy things in the prison will leak out.Tonight, through monitoring, it can be determined that No. 98 and No. 48 are related.Moreover, No. 98 also took the opportunity to find some younger brothers from Qingshan, and they didn't know what they talked about, but, through the surveillance video, it could be seen that these younger brothers from Qingshan were a little happy.

The second is the information on the 14th. No. 14 has been in prison for 6 years. The crime was Gong Shi. The victim girl was only 9 years old. Because of Gong Shi's behavior causing minor injuries, the circumstances were very bad, and she was sentenced to 14 years in prison.When he first arrived in the prison, he had been in the labor prison area. He came to this prison area two years ago because he was old, always took medicine, and was in poor health.In addition, according to monitoring, No. 14 not only rinsed his mouth with washing powder, but also ate washing powder directly.

The third is the test results, no LSD was found in any person or item.

After carefully reading these things again, Lu Ling memorized all the information, then stuffed the ball of paper into his mouth, melted the ball of paper little by little, and swallowed it.

The paper smelled very ordinary, a smell of wood dust and chemicals. While swallowing, Lu Ling thought about No. 14.

Paper is so bad, how bad is washing powder?
Looking at the history of No. 14, Lu Ling was also a little puzzled.As I said before, although the prisoners in the prison are not really discriminated against, it is impossible to be the boss of the dormitory.It's not about how this kind of crime is, but that those who do it will most likely be useless.But if you have a little money, what kind of money can't you find?

Just like the 14th, he has no future outside, no money, let alone a strong body, how can he be the boss of the dormitory?
Also, why does he like to eat washing powder?
Pica.
Lu Ling began to search for all the knowledge about pica in his mind. He thought that Number 14 either had a serious psychological problem or had a serious problem with his sense of taste.It's just that the taste problem is big, and it's not enough to eat washing powder, so it can only show that it's still a psychological problem.

Lu Ling thought of something he had learned.

In 1984, the Bhopal disaster in Curry State.

This is the worst chemical accident in human history, bar none.An accident occurred in a pesticide factory invested by Beautiful Country in Curry Country, and a large amount of cyanide was leaked, killing about 57.5 people and leaving more than 20 people permanently disabled.

The strange thing is that the Ohio leak that happened on February 2 in the beautiful country, there are always people comparing Chernobyl on the Internet, and some people comparing the leak of our Winter Olympics city a few years ago, but few people mentioned Boppa disaster.I think everyone knows why.

The cold numbers cannot represent the tragic process of the story, and the specific process will not be described in detail. You can understand it yourself, or you can read "People Call Me Animals".It is worth mentioning that the case was decided after 25 years.The verdict, relying on the defense, favored Sheng Sheng, which was speechless.

After this accident, there were some secondary disasters, one of which was related to pica, which was rarely mentioned, let's talk a little more.

After the incident, many people near the pesticide factory left, including some pregnant women.These people ran early, but they were still poisoned and had some symptoms.

Backward medical conditions and wrong beliefs make many treatment processes unreasonable.Including but not limited to eating the soil, leaves and various miraculous healing medicines at the place where the incident occurred, and also including finding an exorcist to detoxify.

Under conditions of illness, poisoning, extreme intimidation, and helplessness, a large number of pregnant women lacked appetite and developed pica, and began to eat some messy things, the most common being soil, leaves, etc., resulting in a large number of dystocia deaths.

The huge and complicated psychological problems that arose in the later period of the Bhopal disaster have attracted countless psychologists to study in the past.

Thinking of this incident, Lu Ling had to suspect the cause of No. 14's pica.

Lu Ling suspected that No. 14 had a history of illness, poisoning, and extreme psychological distortions. He might also have been forced to take laundry detergent, which led to this serious psychological problem now.

This seems to be a reasonable explanation, but there is another problem, that is, the number 14 seems too normal.Generally speaking, people with serious psychological problems do not look so normal.

This seems contradictory.

Really unable to figure it out, Lu Ling could only choose to rest.

All the puzzles seem to have keys, but just...
"What are you thinking here if you don't sleep?" Lu Ling was thinking about something, when the one-armed man suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ling, which shocked Lu Ling a lot.

The one-armed man was still on duty tonight. He walked to the iron gate and saw Lu Ling with his eyes open.

"Brother," Lu Ling slowly recovered from the state of panic, "Brother, I'm sorry I haven't issued a blindfold yet, I really can't sleep!"

"Can't sleep? Then don't sleep, stay with me." The one-armed man grinned and said, "Listen to the boss, you can't brush your teeth and wash with one hand? I'll teach you, you turn around and wipe your injured hand completely Disabled, and after a long time, your other hand will be able to do everything."

"My brother, I'm going to sleep now." Lu Ling admitted his cowardice, then turned around and lay down, still covering his eyes with his clothes.

The one-armed man didn't leave, but looked at Lu Ling fiercely for a few seconds before the prison guard appeared.The prison guard knocked on the door: "What are you doing there! I don't want to sleep out and stand!"

"No, nothing." The one-armed man walked away.

The prison guard didn't bother to bother the man, so he turned around and left again.

After cleaning up, Lu Ling was a little puzzled.Is number 14 really so narrow-minded?Did you really tell the one-armed man about this?
Or maybe someone told the one-armed man?After all, it wasn't just Lu Ling and No. 14 who were washing up, there should be other people who heard what No. 14 said.

If someone else heard it, they wouldn't have told No. 14 so quickly, right?Is there something wrong with this?It's not a big deal
Lu Ling judged that it wasn't the 14th who told the one-armed man, it wasn't necessary.It should be that other people told the one-armed man immediately after hearing about it. This shows that No. 14 and the one-armed man's status in the dormitory is really quite high, so high that other people need to please.

Is this dormitory a big problem, or are most dormitories in prisons like this?

(It’s because I’m too sleepy. Let’s think about the questions a little more. I’ll talk about it tonight. I’m going to Harbin on a business trip today. I’ll write slowly on the plane.)
