I put the painting away as if nothing had happened, and then followed the mother and son to Fuxiang. During the meal, I kept asking Zhang Tong some seemingly boring questions, such as what time he usually goes to bed, what he usually eats for breakfast, what color of clothing he likes, etc.

These seemingly boring questions are actually very necessary, Zhang Tong will psychologically feel that you already know him a lot, and gradually no longer reject you, at this time I will tell him some of my own stories, it will be better to shorten the distance between us.

Chatting and chatting, I felt that the time was almost up, so I took out the portrait of a villain with two heads from my pocket, Zhang Tong saw this painting at first glance, his body twitched violently, and said: "This is my painting, how can it be in you?" ”

It seems that Zhang Tong didn't know that he had inadvertently lost this painting, so I pretended to be mysterious and said: "I can do magic, and if I change it gently, this painting will be in my hands." ”

Zhang Tong stared at people with wide eyes and said, "You lie to people, I don't believe it." ”

I smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, my uncle will change another one for you." ”

Zhang Tong was very interested in this matter, and hurriedly asked, "What magic?" ”

I slowed down my voice and said, "I know what you're thinking. ”

Zhang Tong shook his head desperately and said, "I don't believe it." ”

I smiled and said, if I guess it, you have to answer a few questions from your uncle, Zhang Tong said crisply: "No problem." ”

I stared at Zhang Tong's eyes and said slowly: "You immediately think of a number between 1 and 9 now, so that this number is presented in your brain, very clearly." ”

I noticed that Zhang Tong's eyes were moving quickly from side to side with a small swing, and immediately said, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Zhang Tong replied softly, and I continued: "If you think clearly enough in your brain, I can see it in your eyes." ”

Zhang Tong unconsciously clenched his fists, and I said softly: "Is it 7?" ”

Hearing this answer, the pupils of Zhang Tong's eyes dilated instantly, and I knew that I had succeeded. In fact, this is magic is to use people's psychological inertia, the vast majority of untrained people will actually continue to swing before the number 5, 6, 7, 8, and nearly 80% of them will choose the number 7, and the most magical part of this magic trick is actually this.

You need to help the other person confirm the final number before they gradually confirm it, so don't give the other person too much time to think, and be sure to pay attention to the speed of speech, try to slow down as much as possible, and there should not be too many gaps in the narrative.

I put the painting on the table again and asked him, "Tell my uncle, why did the little man in the painting have two heads?" ”

Zhang Tong was obviously a little scared, and he drooped his head and said, "One of these two heads is my own, and the other is my father's." ”

I smiled and continued to ask, "Why don't you draw a separate body for Dad and draw two heads together?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Tong to answer, Li Qian suddenly replied in a slightly anxious tone: "Ah, Xiao Tian, the child's father has passed away, I'm afraid that if I talk too much, he will ...... So ......"

I immediately understood, so I put the painting away and continued to talk about some inconsequential things, but I was already sure in my heart that the reason why Zhang Tong had problems must be related to his father.

After dinner, I asked Li Qian for contact information, and called her a little later, I asked her on the phone what the child's father died, Li Qian said that at the beginning of April this year, I asked how he died, Li Qian said that he accidentally fell downstairs.

When Li Qian said this, her tone was a little anxious, as if she was afraid that I would not accept this answer, so that I could easily conclude that she was lying.

I then changed to a very serious tone and said: "Sister Li, my brother can tell you bluntly, Zhang Tong's situation is not optimistic, since you have found me, it is best to cooperate with me wholeheartedly, if the information you passed to me is false, or incomplete, I have no way to help you." ”

Li Qian on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Tian, do you have a girlfriend?" ”

I was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "No." ”

Li Qian asked again: "Then do you live with your parents?" ”

I said, "No." ”

Li Qian continued: "Xiao Tian, if you don't mind, can you come to my house first, there is a bedroom in my house that is vacant, and I can live in it for you." ”

Li Qian is actually a particularly introverted woman, if it weren't for her children, she would never make such a request, of course, since she put it forward, it is even harder for me to refuse, but if I accept it immediately, I will seem a little frivolous.

I pretended to be silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and then asked her, "Sister, you know the actual problem of the child, right?" ”

Li Qian didn't answer, this is basically tantamount to acquiescence, I said in a calm tone: "Sister, in fact, you went to the psychological clinic to see the child before, and the people have already diagnosed you, you didn't choose to be treated there, but you didn't want to believe in this result, but I didn't expect the child's problem to become more and more serious, you had to choose to continue to ask for help, but in your heart you still didn't want to accept the previous result, so you found me by mistake, am I right?" ”

"Xiao Tian, I ......" was seen through my thoughts, Li Qian looked a little frightened, wanted to explain, but didn't know how to explain, so I smiled and said: "Okay, I promise you, for the sake of the child, I can live in your house, but you have to tell me what the problem with the child is." ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then four words slowly came out: "Split personality." ”

In fact, from the moment I saw the two-headed villain, I have already guessed that I am not far from ten, I was in school, I have been exposed to similar cases, a person with split personality, when writing or painting, often inadvertently, show his other personality, so there is the painting of the two-headed villain.

But there is one thing that is still a little surprising to me, the vast majority of patients with split personalities are basically peers of the same age as them, and it is really unbelievable that Zhang Tong split his father like this.

I said to Li Qian: "Sister, it's not a big deal to have a split personality, don't worry too much, you see what I have to live in, I'll listen to your arrangement." ”

Li Qian said, "Tonight." ”

In order to make a good impression on Li Qian, before going to Li Qian's house, I prepared almost all the supplies I could think of, such as all kinds of toiletries, a change of underwear and socks, plus a few T-shirts, and stuffed a medium-sized suitcase.

When I arrived at Li Qian's house, it was nearly ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Tong had already slept, Li Qian stayed in the living room and waited for me, as soon as I entered the room, Li Qian made a small gesture, so I lightly placed the things, and then sat on the sofa, planning to have a simple chat with Li Qian.

After I sat down, I exchanged a few words with Li Qian, and then went straight to the point, I said to her, there is basically no congenital split personality, some information says that there is, that is also nonsense, so there must be a reason for the split personality, and you should know more or less about this reason.

Li Qian let out a sigh of relief and said, "All of this is actually my sin. ”

After Li Qian said this, tears flowed out, I hurriedly handed over a tissue, and comforted her softly: "Sister, don't say that, no matter what happened in the past, it has passed, and we need to calm down now and solve the problem in front of us." ”

After Li Qian wiped away her tears, her emotions eased and she told me about her past experience.

She and her husband Zhang Chi fell in love in college, the relationship has always been very good, the two got married not long after graduation, and then there was Zhang Tong in less than a year, originally a very happy family of three, but later Zhang Chi always traveled for work, and often left for half a year, Li Qian was the kind of woman with good posture and figure, and slowly there was a problem.

The process is complicated, but the result is simple, Li Qian cheated. This soon reached Zhang Chi's ears, Zhang Chi is the kind of person who is suspicious, sensitive and irritable, and extremely distrustful of people. There are still some incidents that have to arise when everything happens, not to mention that Li Qian really cheated.

Because Zhang Chi loved Li Qian too much, after the accident, he did not choose to divorce, but his temperament changed greatly, and he often had symptoms of mental trance and slow reaction in the initial stage. Then there was persistent insomnia, accompanied by mild self-harm and extreme irritability, and he would be furious over a trivial matter and beat Zhang Tong fiercely.

Then suddenly one day, he seemed to be completely back to normal, Li Qian thought he finally wanted to open, but he committed suicide by jumping off the building on a sunny morning.
