Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 593 Autistic Son

goat?

Chen Yi and the others looked at each other. Considering the young man's behavior just now, this person did show a different interest in Su Ying than others.

Since the four college students had already experienced this incident, the term "lecher" should not be an injustice to him.

Judging from his age, he is almost 30, which is the time when he is full of vigor and vitality. It is understandable that he feels itchy after being stuck in the deserted town of Shidu all day.

It's just that the state is not right.

His complexion was very sickly, and it seemed that he had been sleep deprived all day, causing the young man to look listless.

"He didn't touch me, did he?" Qin Fei asked.

The girl in pink said, "No, he's not very courageous. He's the type who has the desire but not the courage. Yingjie just glared at him and he ran away."

Hero?

Qin Fei looked at his boyfriend, but the latter pointed at the quiet classmate and said with a smile: "He is Yingjie, and my name is Junjie."

Yingjie, Junjie, are these two brothers?

Seeing Qin Fei's confusion, Junjie explained: "We are not relatives. It's just a coincidence that our names together form Yingjun. His name is Wang Yingjie and mine is Zhou Junjie."

Qin Fei said "Oh", the names were so similar and had meaning, it was quite a coincidence, maybe this was one of the reasons that led to the friendship between the two.

"Hehe, my name is Peng Xiao, and her name is Fan Wen." The girl in pink also introduced herself at this time.

"Qin Fei."

Out of politeness, Qin Fei said his name, but Chen Yi and the others did not speak.

As they were chatting, the food arrived again, and it was the same pale-faced young man. This time, Peng Xiao and the others probably felt more confident with more friends, so they no longer had any scruples and all stared at him.

We ordered six dishes in total, and four were served this time. The boss cooked the dishes quite quickly, mainly because there were no hard dishes, so it was relatively easy to prepare.

After placing the dishes on the table one by one, the young man couldn't help but peek at Su Ying again.

Compared with young college students like Peng Xiao and Fan Wen, the 36-year-old Su Ying has acquired a mature charm after years of precipitation. Her elegance and calmness are obviously more attractive and can arouse men's inner desires.

"Are you interested in me?"

Su Ying was a straightforward person. She asked the question directly in front of everyone, and her voice could be heard throughout the hall.

Peng Xiao and her friends almost choked on their food. She is worthy of being the big sister. She is so fierce.

The young man did not expect Su Ying to ask this question suddenly. After reacting for two seconds, he nodded very honestly, and then began to scan Su Ying's whole body more unscrupulously, especially spending the longest time on her legs.

Perfect legs are Su Ying's biggest advantage.

"You want to touch it?"

Su Ying spoke again, and these three words made the young man's eyes light up, with a look of anticipation, diluting his originally pale face, and at this moment he seemed to be instantly energetic.

Without waiting for Su Ying's permission, he subconsciously stretched out his hand.

But Su Ying asked these two questions not because she was familiar with human affairs, on the contrary, it was precisely because she did not understand the joy of men and women and was disgusted by it that she said such shocking things.

Then in the next second, the young man's scream rang out.

Su Ying didn't even want to touch him, and the chopsticks she used almost pierced the young man's palm.

Peng Xiao and the other three were shocked. The contrast between the previous second and the next was too great. They had anticipated various possible plot developments, but they never expected that the older sister would take direct action.

Today, as the concept of the rule of law is gradually improving, people have become quite restrained and it is rare to see people hitting others, even though someone would call the police if they swore.

If you take action, you will make compensation. No one will be stupid enough. Just be patient and it will pass.

After screaming, the young man pulled his hand back with force, only to feel a burning pain in his palm. His reaction was also strange. He was frightened and panicked at first, and then quickly turned into anger.

Without saying a word, the young man strode forward and reached out to grab Su Ying's neck.

There were five men in the special case team, and of course they would not let the only woman be bullied. Teng Dabin, who was closest to the young man, instantly grabbed the young man's wrist and twisted it hard, causing him to scream again.

boom!
Teng Dabin didn't use any ruthless force. He just kicked the young man out and hit him against the wall behind him.

Seeing the young man struggling to get up in pain, Peng Xiao and the others suddenly felt very relieved. They definitely wouldn't dare to do it themselves, but they felt happy watching others do it.

Anyway, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with them.

"What happened?!"

The noise in the hall attracted the attention of the boss and his wife. They walked quickly out of the kitchen and just in time saw the young man leaning against the wall, holding his stomach.

The proprietress reacted strongly, ran over quickly to help him up, and brushed the dust off his body with concern.

"Ruirui! What's wrong? What happened just now?"

The young man pointed at the table where the special case team was sitting and whispered, "Hit...hit me!"

The proprietress turned around and glared at the six people: "Why did you hit me? Give me an explanation! Otherwise, I will..."

"Okay, shut up!" Wu Changchun, who followed closely, immediately interrupted his wife's threat, "Do you need to ask why he was beaten? Don't you know what kind of person he is?! I asked you to serve the food but you had to give it to your son. Take it back to the room! Don't embarrass yourself here!"

Seeing that the proprietress seemed unconvinced and wanted to argue, Wu Changchun glared at her: "Didn't you hear me? Hurry up and leave! Try not to let him appear in front of the guests! Hurry!"

The proprietress did not dare to disobey her husband. After cursing him under her breath, she silently accompanied her son out of the hall.

After all, as the head of the family, Wu Changchun's status in the family is still very high.

After his wife and children left, Wu Changchun apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, sorry, I disturbed your meal. To express my apology, I'll give you 20% off on this meal."

Chen Yi said, "It's okay. This... Boss Wu, is he your son?"

Wu Changchun nodded: "Yes, my son Wu Rui."

Chen Yi: "Excuse me, but your son looks to be at least 28 if not 30, right? He seems to have some intellectual problems?"

It is obvious that the young man named Wu Rui is not very smart.

When this matter was mentioned, Wu Changchun came over and sighed, "The guest is right. My son has been suffering from autism since he was a child, so... Hey, please be more tolerant, more tolerant."

Autism?
Several people suddenly realized that this could explain it.

Autism is generally manifested as social defects, loneliness and isolation, as well as language development disorders. No wonder Wu Rui speaks so little and looks so strange.

"Boss Wu, don't mind." Chen Yi said, "Having an autistic child at home would be exhausting for anyone. Please take a seat."

The scene where the three victims were hanged was just a few dozen meters away from the inn. If I find a chance, I can have a casual chat with Wu Changchun. Maybe I can ask him something unusual.

The table was large and there were empty seats, so Wu Changchun did not refuse and went forward to sit down.

"How many of you are here to travel to Shidu Town?" he asked proactively.

Chen Yi nodded: "Yes, Shidu Town was prosperous decades ago, but now only ruins remain. What a pity." Wu Changchun: "It's expected, there's nothing to regret. Shidu Town was prosperous because of oil. When the oil was exhausted, there was no need for it to exist.

Look at this place, it's nothing but soil and rocks, there are no resources for development at all.

My grandfather was a worker in Shidu Town. When I was young, I always listened to him talk about the town. "

Chen Yi pointed at his feet and asked, "Did this house belong to Boss Wu's grandfather before?"

Wu Changchun: "Yes, it was in such a state of disrepair that it was uninhabitable, so I renovated it inside and out and opened this inn."

Chen Yi picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Wu Changchun, who quickly took it with both hands: "Thank you, you are polite. We are friends after coming from afar. Actually, there is nothing to do here. We can just walk around the town tomorrow. No need to stay the next day."

Maybe it was because of his son’s matter, or maybe it was because he had a good impression of Chen Yi, so what he said was more realistic.

Chen Yi clinked glasses with the other party, and then said, "I heard from these young people that the inn is rumored to be haunted?"

This is not a secret.

Wu Changchun was not surprised to hear this, and said helplessly: "I don't know how the ghost story came about, but there are also benefits. Business was very good in those years, and the house price increased three times, but the supply still could not meet the demand.

When these people heard about the haunting, they all rushed over, and I don’t know what they were thinking.”

Chen Yi: "When did the rumor of the haunting begin? At the earliest time."

Wu Changchun recalled: "It's been about seven or eight years."

Chen Yi: “Have you seen it?”

Wu Changchun smiled and waved his hands: "Although I am not well educated, I don't believe in ghosts and gods. Besides, I have never seen one. There are always guests who say they have seen one. I don't know if they ate poisonous mushrooms and had hallucinations."

Hearing the word "mushrooms", Chen Yi subconsciously looked at the dining table. One of the dishes was home-cooked stir-fried mushrooms with shredded pork.

It tasted good, he had already eaten it.

"This mushroom is not poisonous. We grow it ourselves. I was just giving an example just now." Wu Changchun said, and then he picked up the new chopsticks and took a bite.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Misunderstood. Speaking of which...did the haunting happen for no reason? Was there no sign before this?"

Wu Changchun: “There are no signs.”

Chen Yi: "Nothing special happened?"

"Something special?" Wu Changchun was silent for a moment, then he glanced at the college students at the next table, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Yes, there is. Someone died."

"Dead?!" Chen Yi's face changed. "In the inn?"

Wu Changchun: "No, no, of course not. It was outside the inn... Well, it's hard to talk about this in detail. The police warned us that it had to be kept secret."

Chen Yi did not ask further: "After someone died, the haunting began?"

Wu Changchun nodded: "Yes, you say this is weird or not, someone died suddenly, and suddenly the guests said it was haunted. The police who investigated the case said it was a supernatural event. Ask if there were wronged spirits when Shidu Town was still there."

After saying that, he took a sip of the wine in the bowl and talked about the past incessantly.

Chen Yi looked at Wu Changchun: "Then...are there any wronged souls?"

Wu Changchun lowered his voice again: "It's true, I heard from my grandfather that there have been several house collapse incidents in Shidu Town before, and many people were crushed to death.

The town developed too fast, and the houses were built too fast. With this speed, the quality will decline, understand?"

Chen Yiqian treated it as listening to a story.

However, what Wu Changchun said reminds us of one point: no connection was found between the three victims, and perhaps there was no connection at all. The murderer's motive may have come from the victims' parents or even grandparents.

The probability is relatively low, but it cannot be said to be impossible.

The son must pay for the father's debt. Once the suspect becomes crazy, he will do anything.

"Boss Wu, what you mean is that there really is a ghost?" Chen Yi said.

Wu Changchun: "I didn't say that. I really haven't seen it. I think someone probably made it up to attract attention, and it became more and more outrageous as time went by.

In fact, everyone is just having fun. You see, there are fewer people in the past two years. Take today for example, there were only two of you and it was very quiet.

If there really is something fishy going on, the government will close down my store, right? "

Chen Yi nodded with a smile: "That's true, it's just a rumor."

As we were chatting, we suddenly heard rhythmic knocking sounds coming from upstairs, as if someone was hammering nails with a hammer, but the force was not very strong, with only one sound per second on average.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Everyone present looked up, but could only see the ceiling of the hall.

Without waiting for Chen Yi to ask, Wu Changchun immediately stood up and apologized again: "I'm sorry, it's my son. Every day when he's free, he uses a hammer to hammer nails into the wall. He doesn't do it to get them in, but just to hear the sound. Sigh... excuse me."

“Why don’t you confiscate it from him?” Someone from the college student side spoke up. After learning that the strange young man suffered from autism, their anger subsided a lot.

Autism is pathetic.

This is not only true for the patient himself, but also a lifelong test for his family. Not many parents can persevere.

Wu Changchun said as he walked: "If we put the hammer away, he will just bang his head against the wall, and there will be nothing we can do."

The college student who asked the question was silent, a little embarrassed. Self-harm is one of the symptoms of autism.

The boss Wu Changchun quickly left the hall and went upstairs. Soon the knocking sounds from upstairs stopped and a few shouts and scolding were heard.

Beating and scolding your son is out of love for him, otherwise you could have just abandoned him when he was a child.

Severe autism will cause people to lose the ability to take care of themselves, which is much more terrifying than missing limbs. To be honest, it is worse than missing limbs, because at least there is hope that one can be strong-willed despite the physical disability. However, people with severe autism will never see hope and will be trapped in a dark vortex their entire lives.

Chen Yi picked up the drink in front of him and took a sip, analyzing the conversation he had just had with Wu Changchun. It could be said that every word he spoke was tentative.

This person is...interesting.

"Are people with autism also lustful? Are they just pretending?" Teng Dabin asked.

Chen Yi put down the bowl in his hand and said, "It should be true. Wu Rui meets the clinical symptoms of autism in all aspects. He is lustful because of narrow interests. He is not interested in anything, or is only interested in one or two things.

He's obviously interested in women."

Teng Dabin: "Then why is his face so pale? Is this also a symptom of autism?"

Chen Yi: "Self-harm is a behavior that severe autistic patients may have. In addition to hitting the wall, he probably has a lot of wounds on his body. The long-term bleeding caused his face to turn pale."

After the confusion was resolved, Teng Dabin nodded slightly: "I see. It's really a disaster for a family to have an autistic child."

At this time, Chen Yi leaned forward and lowered his voice: "In addition to what I just said, autistic people also like to imitate others, but the way they imitate is different from that of ordinary people. They have the innovation and peculiarity of self-understanding, so... don't ignore this Wu Rui.

After dinner, everyone came to my room for a meeting.

Drink less alcohol.”
