Chapter 1779 Possessed by Evil
The temporary office of the Luzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau was brightly lit.
Grandpa Chen Sanfeng walked in, supported by a policeman. The old man was even thinner than Li Xiangnan had imagined, with a slightly hunched back, but his eyes had the clarity unique to intellectuals, as well as an anxiety that he could not hide at this moment.
"Gentlemen... how should I address you..." Old Master Chen's voice carried the vicissitudes unique to the elderly, "I've been waiting outside the police station for several days... I heard you took Han Guo to Yanjing and came back... Is my grandson alright... about this case..."
As he was speaking, he couldn't continue. Li Xiangnan stood up and helped the old man sit down, his tone gentle and respectful: "Mr. Chen, please don't rush, have some tea first. We are currently investigating Han Guo's case!"
After he finished speaking, he went to pour tea, and Wang Defa, who was standing next to him, had already poured the tea and handed it to him in a tacit understanding.
“I know…Han Guo made a mistake…but that child has always been the kindest child ever! He’s a good child!” Old Master Chen was a little agitated, and the veins on his hand holding the cane bulged due to tension and anxiety.
"He would detour around any ants he saw on the road, and he would even rescue snails crawling on the road and put them in the grass. The neighbor's cats and dogs were overjoyed! He was such a kind child, how could he kill someone! How could he do such a thing!"
As he spoke, tears streamed down Old Master Chen's face, his voice filled with grief, confusion, and deep bewilderment.
Li Xiangnan handed over the water glass without interrupting.
Old Master Chen wiped away his tears with his sleeve. After Qi Zhiyuan introduced the various leaders and experts, his emotions calmed down a little. As if he had made up his mind, after expressing his confusion, he immediately said, "Advisor Li, there's something... I don't know if we've made any contact... but I thought I had to tell you no matter what..."
This is probably why the old man was in such a hurry to come and see him. Li Xiangnan nodded, "Old man, please speak freely!"
"I remember last year, Han Guo came back home for summer vacation after getting into university! One night I got up to go to the bathroom and heard people talking in his room!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangnan and Wang Defa exchanged a glance, and Lu Hang, Wang Ming, and Hong Chunlin, who were standing nearby, also couldn't help but exchange a glance.
"Please continue, sir!" Li Xiangnan's eyes narrowed slightly as he urged him to continue.
"I thought he had brought his classmates back to play, so I went over to remind him not to chat too late and to go to bed early! He's gotten into university, but he can't let his schedule get too unrestrained!"
As Mr. Chen recalled the events, a look of utter bewilderment crossed his face.
"But when I pushed the door open, I saw that he was the only one in the room..."
"He's all alone?" Wang Defa exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening slightly, his tone filled with horror.
Grandpa Chen wiped the sweat from his brow and nodded. "He was sitting at his desk, head tilted to the side, as if talking to thin air, and his tone was very agitated, as if he were arguing with someone!"
"hiss!"
Upon hearing this, the police officers and psychological experts in the room couldn't help but gasp slightly.
Li Xiangnan's brows furrowed as well.
"I asked him, 'Han Guo, who are you talking to?' The little grandson paused for a moment, then realized I was standing at the door. He immediately replied, 'Grandpa, I'm memorizing materials. There will be a placement test next semester, and I don't want to fall behind.'... At the time, I saw that his expression was normal and his tone was very sincere. There were indeed books spread out on the table. Although I was a little surprised, I thought that the child was under a lot of academic pressure and was probably memorizing, so I didn't think much of it and went out!"
At this point, Old Master Chen looked up at Li Xiangnan with eager anticipation: "Advisor Li, do you think... it was around that time... that my grandson's mind started acting strangely?... Did he suffer some kind of trauma while he was studying?"
Li Xiangnan was deeply shocked!
After listening to what Grandpa Chen had to say in its entirety, I realized how much information he contained!
In terms of timing, something strange happened to Chen Hanguo last summer!
Does that mean that if the person who spoke to Chen Hanguo at that time was his second personality, then this personality existed for as long as a year?
The fact that it was discovered a year ago suggests that this second personality may have existed for even longer.
This isn't an outbreak; it's a long, incubating process!
Li Xiangnan did not answer the old man's question, but gently changed the subject and guided him, "Grandpa, we are also looking into Han Guo's situation at school! Please think about it carefully, besides what happened that night, has he done anything else unusual at home?"
He glanced at Director Qi and Lu Hang, then emphasized, "For example, what if he suddenly speaks some Luzhou dialect, with a hint of recklessness? Or what if his emotions suddenly become volatile, and he becomes very aggressive?"
The old man frowned, trying hard to think about these questions. After a long while, he finally shook his head and said, "No... or rather, not in front of me. Han Guo is very sensible, very filial, and very good to his elders... Sigh, now when I think about these things... it feels like a huge stone is weighing on my heart..."
At this point, the conversation reached an impasse.
Li Xiangnan comforted the old man for a few words, then wanted to see him off, telling him to try to recall the past and to come find him anytime if Chen Hanguo acted strangely.
However, just as the old man shakily reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Li Xiangnan, his eyes filled with the unique confusion of old age, a mixture of fear and fatalism, and asked, "Advisor Li... I'm old, there are some things I shouldn't say... but my heart is really heavy..."
“Grandpa, there’s nothing you can’t say!” Li Xiangnan gestured for him to continue.
"Do you think... our Han Guo might be... possessed by some evil spirit? Otherwise, how could a perfectly healthy child become like this? Is he bewitched?"
"..."
Not only Li Xiangnan, but also Director Qi, Director Fan, and everyone around them remained silent at this moment.
After saying this, the old man sighed heavily, and without waiting for Li Xiangnan's reply, shook his head and left on his own, his unsteady steps disappearing around the corner of the stairs.
“Dirty thing…” Wang Defa muttered these words repeatedly, glancing at Li Xiangnan, almost as if to say that this was probably it!
But Li Xiangnan did not rush to deny it.
When ordinary people cannot explain their own limitations, they often choose to believe in superstitions, which is a projection of cognition.
It can't be said to be right, nor can it be said to be wrong.
Existence is reasonable.
Leaving aside superstitions for now, everyone still gained something from Mr. Chen's visit today.
This proves at least two things.
First, it is possible that Chen Hanguo and his second personality type actually know each other.
Second, Chen Hanguo's second personality has existed for at least a year.
"Advisor Li! This is a bit of a problem!"
At this moment, the authoritative expert Lu Hang suddenly frowned and gave a reminder.
Qi Zhiyuan and Fan Deting both turned to look at him, their eyes filled with doubt.
Li Xiangnan nodded and continued, "Because the longer it goes on, the more difficult it is to treat mental illness! Judging from the information that Old Master Chen has revealed, Chen Hanguo's split personality is quite significant, and it is very likely... that he actively chose to merge his personalities!"
The police officers were all taken aback.
Li Xiangnan continued, "Or rather, he actively chose to give his body to the other party!"
"..." The room suddenly fell silent, and almost everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Because what follows is a crucial question!
why?
Why did Chen Hanguo do this?
Why would someone willingly relinquish control of their primary personality and hand over their body and brain to their secondary personality?
What caused this?
What happened in the past year that led to all of this?
"Director Qi, Director Fan, Consultant Li, we've found them!"
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside, and then a policeman carrying a leather package rushed into the office excitedly.
"The city archives just found these: detailed geographical maps and street maps of Luzhou City from 1958 to 1968! Consultant Li, here's what you wanted!"
These words instantly filled the previously heavy atmosphere with hope.
"Let me see!"
Everyone immediately swarmed around.
Upon closer inspection, a chill crept up everyone's spine...
