Chapter 11: Mental Illness

Feng Zhenguo was standing at the end of the corridor smoking, and when he saw me coming out with Chang Longxiang, he hurriedly greeted me and asked me how I was? Can you judge this?

"Not yet." I said truthfully, thinking about it with a frown, and then said: "I am a gentleman, and I am also a person with modern education, to put it unreliable, there are indeed many ghosts in this world, but most of the appalling things are not necessarily made by ghosts." ”

"What do you mean?" Feng Zhenguo was stunned.

"He seems to have been face-controlled just now, at least it looks like that, but I think there's something wrong with that." The more I spoke, the more confused I felt, and muttered: "If it is a ghost, the living body will inevitably emit some yin qi, but when Li Qingshan was controlled by his face, he did not have this symptom."

"Why is that?" Feng Zhenguo frowned: "Could it be that the adult face is really alive?" Just controlled his physical body? After all, we don't know about the conjoined people, so it's hard to get it back."

"Uncle Feng, you said this person wouldn't be mentally ill, right?" I asked tentatively, and made a hypothesis: "If he's a psychopath, it all makes sense, kind of like a split personality as they say." ”

"We also suspected this at first, and we also found some doctors to do an appraisal, and their conclusions were a little vague" Feng Zhenguo smiled bitterly: "Li Qingshan is a normal person, more normal than anyone else, but as long as someone touches a person's face, he will instantly become a murderer or a fierce beast trapped by us." ”

"What's the final conclusion?" I asked.

"Intermittent personality separation, which is what we call split personality." Feng Zhenguo sighed: "At least that's the conclusion for now. ”

"Uncle Feng, I remember that mentally ill murder is not illegal, right?" Chang Longxiang asked coldly.

"Not breaking the law." Feng Zhenguo's expression became even more ugly, and he shook his head: "But now nothing can be sure, the case that Li Qingshan committed is very closely watched, and those doctors give preliminary inferences, and there are other examinations waiting for him after that." ”

I nodded, didn't speak, and thought silently.

Assuming that Li Qingshan is really mentally ill, then he will inevitably be seen by those doctors, if he is not, but simply possessed by a ghost, then this job really has to be handed over to us.

When he went back, Feng Zhenguo took out two file bags and handed them to me, which not only contained detailed information about the Li family's murder case, but also a lot of color photos, as well as the transcripts made to Li Qingshan several times before.

Sitting in the taxi, I looked through the materials, and Chang Longxiang also came over to look at them with great interest, but I guess he didn't understand anything.

"Brother, is the psychiatric evaluation so troublesome?"

Chang Longxiang looked at the stack of identification materials, and immediately wondered: "Why does it look like a book, so thick, how did they make it?" ”

"Psychiatric evaluation is a very troublesome thing, not only through talking to patients, but also through a series of clinical observations" I looked at the materials, although I didn't study this course in college, but I can still understand some of them: "The preliminary conclusion of personality splitting that they got should be through conversation, and the next step is to do other evaluations." ”

"Eh, brother, I suddenly remembered something." Chang Longxiang said with great interest: "There is a bastard in my hometown, who is about the same age as me, and later killed someone and let the police arrest him, so he pretended to be mentally ill." ”

"Failed?" I laughed.

"Failed." Chang Longxiang nodded: "Really, I also saw that grandson when he was pretending to be sick, and it was more real than real mental illness, but I don't know how he was seen." ”

"I don't know the specific content of psychiatric identification, but as far as I feel, the pathological indicators in the human body are not controlled by people, just like you pretend to have stomach pain, can you imitate the corresponding pathological indicators of stomach pain in the body?" I shrugged my shoulders: "What's more, some people pretend to be sick and have lost their brains, I once heard a friend say that there was a person in his hometown who committed a crime, and then pretended to be mentally ill, and wanted to use this method to get rid of the crime, but the first time he did the evaluation, he showed his feet." ”

"What's the horse's foot?" Chang Longxiang asked me curiously.

"The doctor said that most people with intermittent psychosis have the behavior of swallowing foreign bodies, many of them eat boogers and gnaw their nails, but the animal is also stupid, when doing the identification, they gnaw their nails in front of the doctor, and after gnawing and deduct the boogers" I laughed and said: "Because of this, many people began to suspect him, and then took him to do several evaluations, and also clinically observed for a few days, and finally the murderer was convicted." ”

After that, I closed the information, looked at the front of the car, and saw that I was about to arrive at the pharmacy, so I took out the money in advance and handed it to the driver.

"Brother, no one like this who pretends to be sick and escapes his crime has ever succeeded, right?"

"As far as I know, no."

I smiled, and after the car stopped, I walked down with Chang Longxiang.

"Actually, it's not a very smart choice to fake illness and escape, if you commit homicide and are convicted of mental illness, then you have to spend a long time in a mental hospital" I whispered: "I once went to a mental hospital, especially the place where special patients are held, my friend took me to see it, it is not something that normal people can adapt to, really." ”

"Where do all the criminal psychopaths have to live?"

"Yes, and he has to be forcibly treated, even if he is not mentally ill, sooner or later he will have to be forced out." I laughed and said, "Actually, this is no different from going to prison, you will lose your freedom, and the mental torture is not something that we ordinary people can bear." ”

When I pushed the door open and went in, I saw the old man sitting in the hall drinking tea, and he thought he was waiting for us to come back.

"Master, we're back."

"What's going on?"

The old man asked, putting down the newspaper in his hand, his face full of gossip: "What does that human face look like?" Scary, isn't it? ”

"Sort of." I nodded, grabbed an apple and took two bites, and said vaguely: "This matter is more complicated than we thought, I can't come to a conclusion in a short time, and I must observe for a few more days." ”

I picked up an apple and threw it to Chang Longxiang, and continued: "This matter may not have anything to do with ghosts and gods, but it is just a simple mental and psychological problem. ”

The old man was also quite interested in this matter, and while smoking a cigarette, he urged me to tell him about it quickly.

"This is the information that Uncle Feng gave me, you read it, I will tell you at the same time"

In fact, I still have some sympathy for Li Qingshan, if I change the angle and let me grow a face on the back of my head, and there is such a thing, I may not be able to bear it, at least I can't be as calm as Li Qingshan.

"Will he be able to communicate with that face?" The old man asked me.

"I didn't ask him about this, but Uncle Feng told me about it, and he said he couldn't."

"If he's really mentally ill, that is, their firm schizophrenic personality split, then aren't we doing useless work?" The old man put down the information in his hand, spread his hands and said, "Even if he has no mental problems, but he is controlled by that face, how should the country judge?" Peeled that face? Do you really think it's peeling apples? ”

"Master, if it is a simple split personality and there is no wrongdoing, do you think that person's soul will split into two souls?"

Hearing this question, the old man was also stunned, probably he didn't expect me to ask this.

"I don't know." The old man scratched his head: "I haven't studied it either, but as far as I feel, it shouldn't be." ”

"Why?" I asked.

"From ancient times to the present, there has never been a situation where the soul has been split, the soul can be scattered, it can be chaotic, it can die, but if it is said to split it into two independent individuals" The old man smiled: "Is this possible?" ”

"That is to say, split personality is a mental and spiritual disease of the living," I muttered, "does the soul have such a disease?" ”

"I think it's possible." The old man took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile: "Which of those unjust evil ghosts we met is not like a mentally ill person?" ”

"That's right." I nodded.

"Do you have a solution to this?" The old man asked.

I didn't say anything, I thought silently for a while, and finally nodded and said, Yes.
