Originally, I thought that Li Zhiyong had given up treating his son, while Du Tianwei continued to run his own psychological clinic. From now on, it is very likely that they will not bother each other, and most of the people they know will be just passers-by.
Li Zhiyong, Li Guoyi, and I should all be Du Tianwei's passers-by.
With a high probability, they should also be passers-by in my life, ordinary passers-by, and they may never meet or interact with each other again.
However, I was wrong again. What I didn't expect was that Li Guoyi, this problem boy, was even scarier than I imagined!
The next afternoon, Deng Wanwan didn't have to go to work, and I wasn't idle either. I went shopping for clothes with Deng Wanwan, a shopaholic. This time, my role is limited to moving the luggage rack. As for the function of moving the ATM, it has been cancelled. Because, I handed over all my bank cards and became a pretty boy being taken care of by a woman. Everything depends on my wife.
But when Deng Wanwan and I walked into a shopping mall, I happened to bump into Li Guoyi.
He was like a stone man, standing in front of a store window, motionless, as if he had been immobilized.
I didn't think anything, I pulled Deng Wanwan and walked straight towards him, because I really wanted to talk to this problem boy and see how he was doing? Are you still as violent as before?
At first I thought he was just having an accident and would no longer be as cruel to people and things as before. Who knows, I just lightly patted his shoulders twice, and he jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, and stared at me with his little eyes. However, his eyes were still as fierce as before, as if he wanted to kill someone.
I will never forget the fierce look in Li Guoyi's eyes. He definitely had murderous intentions. Judging from his eyes alone, it may be too absolute, but when coupled with his gnashing teeth expression, he is as fierce as a wolf.
After a while, he recognized me. He didn't like to talk at first, but he talked to me for the first time.
"Doctor Zhang...it's you...you come...to the mall?"
I'm very aware of Li Guoyi's problem, so I'm very careful when speaking. He's too sensitive. If I say something wrong, I'm afraid he'll get angry again. Although I have never seen him get angry, but it is still better not to see him.
With an unpretentious expression, I could only pretend to smile pleasantly and ask him, "Guoyi, I'm sorry, I didn't say hello to you just now, so I patted your shoulder! Can you please accept my sincere apology?"
I have been very careful with what I say, and I will get angry at any time if my tone makes him feel uncomfortable.
Li Guoyi was dissatisfied with my attitude. He shook his head and said angrily: "I don't accept it. Your attitude is very bad. It doesn't look like an apology."
I was afraid that if I continued to dwell on this issue, he wouldn't be able to accept it, so I could only change the subject immediately, so I asked, "Guo Yi, is it just you? Where is your father?"
"My dad...he went...to buy things." Li Guoyi stammered in reply, but stared at Deng Wanwan's slender neck and said, "This aunt's neck...is really nice... "
As soon as I heard who had a good neck, I felt scared. Children with this problem like to destroy long-necked stuffed toys.
Moreover, I accidentally glanced at the display window that Li Guoyi had been looking at just now. It was the display window of a toy bar. There are many long-necked stuffed animals on the window display. It seems that this child has developed the urge to be violent towards these toys.
At this time, his father Li Zhiyong came back with Western fast food such as hamburgers, Coke, Colonel's chicken nuggets and French fries. However, my appearance surprised him. He didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy to see me. In short, his expression was very complicated.
Li Zhiyong considered me acquainted, so he greeted me politely and handed the fast food he bought to Li Guoyi for him to eat.
If an ordinary child saw these foods, he would be so happy that he would start eating them long ago.
But Li Guoyi was not a normal child. He knocked the fast food in his father's hand to the ground and shouted angrily: "If you don't want to eat, I won't eat if I don't want to eat."
His loud voice attracted the attention of all the men and women who were originally focused on shopping, and everyone looked at them. For a time, the father and son became the focus of everyone's attention, because people like to hunt for novelties.
I finally saw how terrifying Li Guo was when he got angry. You can’t communicate too much with people with mental disorders, because you never know when they will get irritable? Not even recognized by close relatives.
Today, after seeing this embarrassing scene, I began to believe what Li Zhiyong meant when he said that Li Guoyi's condition was getting worse. However, Li Zhiyong, a strong man, had already adapted to Li Guoyi's situation.
Just like a conditioned reflex, he squatted down silently and cleaned up the mess on the floor. There was no way to take back the Coca-Cola that had been scattered on the floor. He had to take out a tissue and wipe it patiently bit by bit.
Li Guoyi didn't notice the mistake he made at all. He just stared at the long-necked stuffed toy in the window without any expression, and there was no ups and downs in his heart.
Li Zhiyong's approach was correct, but there still had to be something for Li Guoyi to vent his violent emotions. It's better to destroy a toy than hurt an innocent person.
So, I paused, walked into the toy bar, bought the most conspicuous giraffe plush toy in the cupboard, and gave it to Li Guoyi.
"Guoyi, I know you like this stuffed toy. In this way, uncle gives it to you to play with, so don't lose your temper again."
Li Guo took the stuffed toy away from my hand without thinking. He looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with a smile: "You damn long-necked woman, let me see what else you can do." Scare me and break your neck.”
In just a moment, the giraffe's neck was broken. This is an extremely tough plush toy! Unexpectedly, he broke the toy's neck so easily. Seeing how crisp and capable his technique was, I believed Li Zhiyong's words! After all, this naughty kid has destroyed countless long-necked stuffed animals.
Li Zhiyong was afraid of being embarrassed, so he quickly pulled Li Guo and left without looking back.
After seeing them go away, people in the mall resumed their normal shopping routine, buying what they should buy and seeing what they should see.
Deng Wanwan looked at this child and felt a little scared. She asked me in surprise, "How do you know such a child? He seems to be born with an admiration for violence."
"Hey, he had an unfortunate childhood. This child was frightened by something with a long neck and had a psychological shadow. He is also very pitiful. I'm afraid he will be in this state for the rest of his life."
After saying that, we both were no longer in the mood for shopping and went home directly.
After returning home, Deng Wanwan and I talked a lot about this problem child. Deng Wanwan was very sensitive and always felt that this child was frightened by some evil spirit. Moreover, when Li Guo said her neck was pretty, he broke the giraffe toy's neck in front of them. This frightened Deng Wanwan and she said she would not let me interact with them again.
As soon as I agreed, someone knocked on the door again.
I walked to the door and looked through the peephole, and it was Du Tianwei. What is he doing here?
After opening the door and inviting him in, he suddenly told me a very strange thing.
"Zhang Ruoxu, I think you still have to investigate Li Zhiyong and his son."
What he said was incomprehensible, so I asked him, "Why should I investigate a mentally ill family? I'm afraid that if I come into contact with them too much, I'll become a psychopath myself."
"Oh, it's not this, it's something else. Do you know where Li Zhiyong's massage parlor is?"
"I don't know, do you know?"
"I know, let me tell you, it's in Moon Lane in the South First Ring Road. Li Zhiyong rented an old house. The first floor is used for massages, and the second floor is the living area of his father and son."
I teased Du Tianwei in confusion, "Why are you telling me this? Are you going to invite me to Li Zhiyong's massage parlor for a massage? Or..."
"No, you may not have watched the news. Several people have disappeared there recently! The police had no clue and couldn't find anything. Those missing people seemed to have evaporated and disappeared out of thin air. They only saw them entering , but they didn’t come out.”
"You mean, Li Zhiyong or his son did it. If Li Zhiyong is possible, a professional massager must have strong hands, and most people are not as strong as him. However, he is not the one with violent and antisocial tendencies Ah, but his son Li Guoyi. No matter how great Li Guoyi's desire to kill is, it is unlikely. After all, he is still a minor."
"That's why I'm curious. The police have visited everyone on Moon Street. Except for Li Zhiyong and his son, there is no one else who is suspicious."
"Who are the missing people? Do they have any characteristics?" At this time, I became interested and took the initiative to inquire.
"The missing people are all adults. Many of them went to Li Zhiyong's massage parlor and were massaged. That's why I discussed it with you. Xu Chengcheng said that you have cooperated with the police many times and solved many supernatural cases. Yeah. The suspicion between the father and son is really too great. Even if they are not really them, the suspicion has been cleared for them. That proves that there are other perverted murderers out there... But you have to be careful! Hey , Xu Chengcheng also said that it is possible that the evil spirit is not their father and son, but is hiding in their home."
Being reminded by Du Tianwei, I slapped my thigh suddenly and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that! It's really possible that the evil heretics are where they live. I was careless, and I also felt very strange. A child , how could he have such a terrible anti-human character?"
So, I decided to go and investigate in person.
