Chapter 17: The Abandoned Villa

"It's going to rain heavily." Charles sighed.

"It's going to be cool, is there still no clue about the case in the psychiatric hospital?" Cheng Yang asked.

"I don't have a clue, the clues have been broken since George Weaving, and the new clues from last night haven't started yet, but I feel that there should be results soon. What about your side? Feeling like a trap? ”

"Yes, Mo Li said that someone was in the cell, my original house, and it should be in the same group as the person who hit me." Cheng Yang said.

Charles naturally knew what Cheng Yang meant, and then said, "Do you want me to arrest a few people and ask." ”

"Not for the time being, it's still a fog on my side."

As we approached our destination, the sky was already covered with dark clouds. The car kept approaching the place where Cheng Yang said, and Charles said: "The address you mentioned is an abandoned residential area, and the house was built more than 10 years ago, but at that time, there were rumors that there was a haunted thing in that area, and then it was abandoned, and many people who lived in it moved out." ”

Light rain began to fall in the sky, Charles turned on the wipers, the sound of raindrops falling on the car was full of rhythm, and the outside was completely dark, Cheng Yang picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, then looked at the time and said: "This road is not short, it has been driving for more than two hours." ”

"It's okay, I'm driving slowly, it's about the same in more than an hour. It's almost there, should we go to a convenience store to take shelter from the rain? ”

Cheng Yang looked out the window and nodded, and soon Charles pulled over and slowed down slowly, and a 24-hour convenience store opened on the side of the road. According to Charles's impression, this convenience store should be the closest building to where Cheng Yang is going.

After this convenience store, there is no such place to shelter from the rain, because a few kilometers further forward is where Cheng Yang is going.

The car was parked in front of the convenience store, which had a large eaves large enough to cover the size of ten cars. Charles pushed Cheng Yang out of the car, Cheng Yang looked into the store, and there was no one in the store except the clerk to buy anything at this time.

"Don't worry, it's normal for there to be fewer people here." Charles saw Cheng Yang's caution before saying.

The door of the convenience store automatically opened with the entry of the two, the clerk looked up at Cheng Yang and Charles, and then turned around and left the cash register, just the moment the clerk turned around, Cheng Yang felt that something was wrong, his first feeling was that there was something wrong with this person.

"There's something wrong with Charles." Cheng Yang called out on his mobile phone to show Charles.

Charles also sensed that something was wrong, and immediately changed his mind of wanting to take shelter from the rain in the convenience store, and instead directly pushed Cheng Yang back to the car.

"Something isn't quite right with this clerk." Cheng Yang entered the car and said.

"I also felt that there was something wrong with this person's expression, and his movements were not very coordinated, which gave me the feeling that he was uneasy when he saw us inside."

"That's right, I suspect he has a phobia and a specific phobia. This specific phobia is an intense, unreasonable fear or aversion to a particular object or a highly specific situation. ”

"Usually this condition occurs more often in childhood. A specific fear typical of most people is fear of animals, such as spiders and snakes. ”

"Fear of the natural environment, such as storms, blood, injections."

"There are also fear-specific situations such as heights, confined spaces, flying. Most patients experience these avoidance behaviors as a result. ”

Cheng Yang said and looked into the store, only to see that the person who had just left the cash register had returned to the cash register. Cheng Yang looked at him and said: "The first is from the perspective of genetic factors, 20% of parents and 10% of compatriots suffer from neurosis, and it is believed that genetic factors may be related to the onset of the disease, but some people point out that there is no evidence that genetic factors play an important role in the emergence of this disease." ”

"The second one, from a mental point of view, may have entered the potential stage of his illness as far as we are concerned. Maybe we just had a point that became the trigger for his own fear, and we just happened to trigger this situation and made him fearful. ”

"The third is that the environment is related to personal experience, and the psychodynamics believe that terror is the result of the symbolic and substitutional role of repressed subconscious anxiety, and that the conditioning and learning mechanism are more convincing in the occurrence of phobias."

"Finally, there is his character, his personality is naΓ―ve, timid, shy, dependent or introverted, which may lead to psychological phobia." Cheng Yang said this and asked, "How many years has Charles opened this shop here?" ”

Charles thought for a moment, then said, "This place existed before the construction of the abandoned villa area. ”

"You look at how old the people in there are." Cheng Yang asked with a smile.

"Look, I'm in my 20s." Charles was stunned as soon as he finished speaking, and then said, "You mean that this clerk may know something about this abandoned villa area?" ”

Cheng Yang spread his hands and said: "I'm just guessing, I'm not you, the person who needs evidence to speak, I rely on all kinds of analysis, let's go, the rain is not very heavy, and I can walk with an umbrella." ”

"Okay, let's get ready to drive." After saying that, Charles started the car, something did happen in this villa area 10 years ago, but that incident has been pressed at the bottom of the box, Charles plans to come back and have time to come over and ask, maybe he can find some clues about what happened back then.

As the car entered the abandoned villa area, Charles controlled the speed of the car and slowed down, while Cheng Yang looked at the number on the outer door of the house little by little, looking for the house that belonged to him.

"305, 306, 307, Parking Charles." Cheng Yang saw No. 307, the house he was going to. The car slowly stood at the door of house No. 307, the fence at the door had not been repaired for a long time and had become rusty, and the gate had long been ineffective, if it were not for the plants entwining the gate, it would have broken long ago.

"Are you sure that's it?" Charles asked, looking at the dilapidated building.

Cheng Yang took out his mobile phone and looked at the address in the text message, and then said, "That's right, this is it." ”

"But you can't tell that there are people in this house, you look at the weeds in this yard, if there are people living in it, there will be some traces or something." Charles said.

Cheng Yang observed the house, the outer wall of the house was already a little damaged, but the windows were tightly closed, and all the windows that could look inside had been blocked by the curtains in the house. There is no trace of destruction of the gate, and it looks locked, although no one has survived, but Cheng Yang feels that this house is a little different from other houses nearby.
