The Guts Test System? Who's Afraid!
Meaning and Meaning of Iron Cages

Hearing Rian's question, the three people had different reactions. The grandfather continued to lick food marks on his fingers as if he still wanted to eat. The bald woman's eyes glared unfocused as she thrashed around inside the cage. While the middle-aged man who was to the left of the bald woman continued to stare intensely at Rian.

"Why are they all locked up in this hospital? This hospital has been closed for the past year."

Rian approached the cage containing a grandfather. The grandfather seemed to ignore Rian and kept licking his fingers. Grandpa's hair was growing unevenly. In the cage there are also 2 bowls of water.  "So so .. This grandfather came from the counter table. This grandfather's hair also seemed to have been cut, so most likely one of the 4 hairs under the counter was his."

"There are three people here. That means there's less than one more person …"

As Rian began to observe the hair of the three people, Rian found that the hair belonging to the middle-aged man who was to the left of the bald woman looked neat and there were no signs of having been cut.

'Hair cutting is likely a deviant behavior of the abuser. Can be seen from the hair of the old man and the bald woman. But if that was the case, why would the middle-aged man be left alone by the culprit? Is he the culprit? Or was he just arrested?'

'Wait 'wait! There is one more person who is not here, that is the one who has that uneven face. Most likely he was the mastermind of all this. But it does not rule out the possibility also he has a partner. And his partner might just be one of the three of them!'

Rian then approached the bald woman's cage. She was scared of Ryan. He kept shaking his head. "Don't worry, I came to save you."

Just as Rian was about to take off the cloth that was stuffing the woman's mouth, suddenly the middle-aged man spoke. "The woman likes to scream, so please don't take her cudgels off."

"Do you know why he is? Did the person who held you captive torture her until she was traumatized?"

The man was silent. It seems he is reluctant to answer Rian's question. Just as Rian was about to touch the female sump, suddenly the middle-aged man replied. "I don't know."

"Then what do you know? What about this grandpa? Why is there 2 bowls of water in the cage, and sometimes you and the woman don't?" point Rian at the cage containing the skinny old man.

"I can tell you about that grandfather. Instead, never let go of the lump in the woman's mouth!"

"Okay, but you have to speak truthfully."

The middle-aged man nodded and started his story. "Grandfather's body was already very weak. Even so, his attitude was very bad. Because of his attitude, the wife finally left the grandfather. The grandfather ended up living alone at home and hung his life from his son's remittances. One day, he married a widow. The grandfather's son just kept quiet and kept sending him money every month.”

“But unfortunately, all of that did not last long. The grandfather's son, who was a Psychiatrician, was mentally impaired because he was too deep in the thoughts of his patients. In the end, the doctor was fired because he hurt the patients he handled. An angry patient's family, sues the Doctor until all the treasures that the Doctor has run out.”

“The grandfather's son is in desperate need of money for medical expenses. The cost of treatment in private mental hospitals reaches more than 8 million rupiah for 3rd class rooms. Finally, the hospital where he used to work would accept him as a patient at a much cheaper price.”

“The grandfather's body is getting weaker by the day. Grandpa is too old to work. In fact, he desperately needed money to finance the care of his son. Eventually, the hospital where her son was being treated was closed. His son who is still not healed, finally inevitably treated at the grandfather's house."

"Until one day, the grandfather's neighbor protested that his son had bitten his son. The more days, the mental disorder of the grandfather's son was getting worse. If I'm on a date, grandfather's son always does things that endanger the lives of others."

"The grandfather was desperate. He himself is no longer able to work with the condition of his body that is getting weaker. He was also unable to refer his son to another hospital. Grandpa's money is also running low. Eating is hard. Finally, the grandfather decided to lock his son in an iron cage.”

“Not to solve the problem, the grandfather's decision to lock his son even further aggravated his son's condition. The grandfather then had an idea, which was to place two bowls in front of his son. One bowl contained ordinary water, and the other contained rat poison. The grandfather hoped his son could choose for himself, whether he wanted to continue living confined in a cage, or die and be free from all this suffering.” After finishing his story, the middle-aged man went back into silence.

“So so ..” Rian thought back to the handwriting that was under the counter, - I will reply to everything you have done to me-.

“Motif the perpetrator in this case is revenge. He hated his own father who had locked him in a narrow cage. So she reciprocated by treating her Dad like how his Dad treated her first.”

“All this is starting to make sense. The profile of this grandfather's son also corresponds to one of the patients treated on the 3rd floor. Namely Vincent, occupant of room number 8 who suffers from mental disorders and also brain damage Hemineglect” said rian while explaining to the audience.

‘My opponent this time has a geographical advantage. Before he became a patient, he was a Doctor who worked in this hospital. Of course he knows the ins and outs of this building. It's fair that this mission has a Hard’ difficulty level Rian thought.

‘Then, it is likely that the owners of the third and fourth hair are dead. With Vincent's perfectionist attitude, he will definitely cut off the left side of his victim's body. Then left the victim to bleed to death in the cage. This is the most reasonable deduction. Now, where is Vincent? Is this middle-aged man Vincent? This middle-aged man knew too much about the grandfather's life story.’

Rian then crouched down in front of the middle-aged man's cage. “Why do you know so much about grandfather's life? Are you his son?”

“I?” The man looked at Rian with a strange look. “I guessed you didn't trust me, just like I didn't trust you! Please leave me! Let me stay hidden here. How did you guys find me? Please stop all this, I know you're always watching me!”

“Ha? What do you mean?” Rian was puzzled by the middle-aged man's words. He didn't understand what the man was talking about.

“Every time I unpack your disguises, you always pretend to be confused and innocent! This is why I'm disgusted with all of you. I've unpacked your identity, why do you still keep pretending!?” said the middle-aged man. He began to mention foreign names in Rian's ears. “Now what identity do you use? Goody good? Andy? Sonni's? Chandras? Or do you now have a new identity?”

Before Rian answered, the man spoke again. “I know, you will definitely say that you do not know any of those names right!?”

“But indeed I do not know at all with those names!”

“Do not lie! You are all the same person. You're just disguising yourself as someone else now to trick me! You guys are really disgusting!”

“The same person? Disguised as someone else?” Rian finally came to a realization with a patient profile that matched this middle-aged man.
