Chapter 0082 – The Only Witness
Fan Yu liked to come to the haunted house because he liked to stay with ghosts?
Combined with Gao Ruxue’s father’s inference, Chen Ge came up with a very absurd answer.
”I don’t dare to make any inferences about this patient, if you have time, you can bring him to me.” Gao Ruxue’s father had also never seen such a patient before, and he wanted to diagnose it in person, “Mental illnesses are very complex, and the causes are full of uncertainty, related to the living environment, related to personal encounters, and even related to genetic inheritance to some extent.”
Chen Ge did not reply, after he came to the conclusion that Fan Yu liked to stay with ghosts, his mind suddenly remembered something extremely frightening!
Lifting his raincoat, Chen Ge took out the painting of Fan Yu from the inner pocket of his clothes.
The black house was inhabited by several red villains.
Before Chen Ge came to Mureyang Middle School, he thought that the painting depicted one of the buildings in Mureyang Middle School, but when he actually arrived, he realized that the three small buildings in the school were completely different from the black house that Fan Yu had painted.
Instead, the dilapidated private house where Fan Yu and his aunt lived was quite similar to the black house in the picture.
”If what Fan Yu has been drawing is the house he is currently living in, then these red little people …… “Chen Ge’s sweaty hairs were upside down, “Could it be that all the houses where Fan Yu lives are ghosts? ”
He recalled the scene when he went to see Fan Yu during the daytime, his aunt’s expression had been very tense, while Fan Yu had locked himself up alone in his bedroom, with the doors and windows closed tightly, and buried his head on the edge of the table to draw.
Every time, he used two colors, red and black, and drew a black house and a red villain, but each drawing was subtly different.
Chen Ge’s lips were a little pale, and he remembered very clearly that the red villain’s position was different in all of the little boy’s drawings.
He had originally thought that they were just Fan Yu’s random scribbles, but now that he thought about it, they were simply the dirty things that lived in that house moving around.
”Fan Yu can see them?”
Chen Ge sucked in a breath of cool air as he remembered a few more details of Fan Yu’s time in the haunted house; when the little boy talked to Chen Ge, he would look behind him and his gaze would fall on Chen Ge’s shadow.
Fan Yu said a total of two words in the haunted house, and both words were said to Chen Ge. Originally, Chen Ge thought that he was more appealing to children, but now he realized that the boy probably regarded him as a “kindred spirit”.
”No wonder he’s afraid of the sunlight and still likes to come to the haunted house to play, this child’s cognition has been seriously deviated.” Chen Ge gripped his cell phone tightly, he didn’t know what the reason was for Fan Yu to become like this, but based on Fan Yu’s abnormal behavior and the black skinny woman’s testimony, he had a horrible guess.
A few years ago, also on a night with heavy rain, the little boy disappeared and his parents were killed in order to go look for him. Trying to kill two adults at the same time, in the middle of a rainstorm, complete with hiding the bodies and processing the scene, would be nearly impossible without careful planning.
Taking a step back, even if someone happened to kill Fan Yu’s parents in the middle of the rainy night, why would a murderer who was able to perfectly hide the bodies and dispose of all the traces at the scene let Fan Yu go?
After his aunt said that his parents had gone to heaven, Fan Yu was looking for heaven in the well, it was obvious that he knew that his parents ended up hiding their bodies in the well, he saw everything and was one of the eyewitnesses at the scene, there was no reason why the murderer would spare him.
Chen Ge’s eyes narrowed lightly as he felt a chill run through his body, “Unless the murderer knew the boy, or the murderer is the boy himself!”
These two speculations, no matter which one held true, made Chen Ge feel fearful.
The aunt herself had a high suspicion of committing the crime, there were loopholes in what the woman said, and another strange thing was that when she went to the kitchen to pour water for Chen Ge, she was rummaging through the kitchen looking for something, if it was just a simple pouring of water there shouldn’t be a need for so much trouble.
In addition, during the course of the conversation, including the end when Chen Ge was preparing to leave, the woman mentioned the water intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that Chen Ge would take a sip.
At that time, Chen Ge had been so focused on the mission that he hadn’t been too wary of the living, but in retrospect, there was a good chance that there was a problem with that glass of water.
”If the aunt killed Fan Yu’s parents, what was her reason for doing so?”
That dark and thin woman had doted on Fan Yu to the point of spoiling him, she had a pretty face but had never taken care of it, her skin was dark and her figure was slim. One could tell that it was hard for her to pull Fan Yu up as a woman, taking care of his daily routine and taking him to a psychiatrist, putting her own life on hold, could such a woman really be a murderer?
Frankly speaking, the black and thin woman gave Chen Ge a good impression, self-reliant and strong.
However, in comparison, Chen Ge had a harder time accepting the latter speculation. If the murderer was not the aunt, then the biggest suspect would be the boy himself!
He was the only witness and survivor of the murder scene. Before, Chen Ge did not suspect anything because he thought that a child did not have the ability to kill, but after seeing Fan Yu’s drawings, Chen Ge felt that he had seriously underestimated this child.
Fan Yu has a pair of special eyes, he and the ghosts of the companion, and can live well, this child has a big problem, Chen Ge even suspected that he can simply drive the ghosts.
If another person came along they definitely wouldn’t think in this direction, but Chen Ge was different, he was a severe ghost favorer himself.
”The chances of the murderer being a boy are high, but what is his motive?” The motive for the murder was the point that Chen Ge couldn’t figure out the most, both his aunt and Fan Yu had no reason to hurt their loved ones.
”What exactly happened that day? Fan Yu’s parents ended up being hidden in the deep well at Mureyang Middle School, and how is the whole thing connected to Mureyang Middle School?”
Chen Ge put away Fan Yu’s painting, and only then did he suddenly realize that he hadn’t hung up the phone yet, and hurriedly apologized to Teacher Gao on the other side of the microphone, “I’m sorry, I just ran out of my mind thinking about the question.”
”It’s okay, I was just flipping through the information, and now I’m also interested in the patient you mentioned, why don’t we make an appointment, and you bring him to me to take a look?” Gao Ruxue’s father never hung up the phone and was very patient.
”Okay, I’ll definitely bring him there when I have the chance.”
”En, this number is my phone number, contact me when the time comes, and lastly I have something to ask you.” Teacher Gao was about to speak, and seemed to be hesitant to speak as well.
”What is it?” Chen Ge was still grateful to this psychiatrist who was eager to help.
”We need to have the right approach and more patience when treating patients with mental illnesses, but it’s undeniable that individual patients with serious conditions are dangerous. When you are with them, please remember to never irritate them.”
