Chapter 58 Three Key Questions
"He Shouye, who hated children very much, later became the director of an orphanage. He paid for the adoption of a large number of abandoned babies and orphans out of his own pocket. This in itself is an extremely abnormal and terrible thing. We are very curious why He Shouye made such a decision. In order to figure out the process of his psychological distortion, we conducted a personality simulation test." Li Xue mentioned a term Han Fei had never heard of on the phone - personality simulation test.
"We tried hundreds of models and ultimately concluded that He Shouye chose to become the director of an orphanage despite his extreme dislike for children. This abnormal behavior was stimulated by some external factors."
"With the advice of several criminal psychology experts, we sorted out all the notes and relics left by He Shouye and finally found some problems."
"After his child died of illness, He Shouye became a completely different person. His tone of voice, his preferences, and his personality are all different from before."
"He began to read a lot of books about the spiritual world and philosophy. He often locked himself in the house and occasionally went out alone late at night. It seemed as if he was looking for something?"
"We visited several children who grew up in orphanages. Most of them had a very good impression of the director and were grateful for his care. However, a small number of children thought the director was strange and often asked them questions that they could not understand."
"For example, have you ever dreamed of someone standing by your bed late at night? Have you ever seen a black box in your dream? Have you ever dreamed of a butterfly landing on your head? And so on."
"He Shouye seems to be looking for a special child. He has been looking for a long time but has not found one, so he wants to create a child that meets his requirements. This child should be the deceased number eight in the human puzzle."
"No one knows what his criteria are? No one knows why a murdered child would meet the requirements?"
"He seemed to be performing some kind of ritual, or as if he was being guided by something."
"Throughout the process of his personality transformation, one noun appeared significantly more frequently in his notes: butterfly."
"In the second half of his life, the butterfly represented not only a creature but also a symbol."
"The same thing happened to Meng Changxi. We searched for Meng Changxi's belongings and some secret information. Before he disappeared, Meng Changxi, like He Shouye, was also reading a lot of books about the human brain. He was also obsessed with butterflies and had been chasing butterflies ."
"In other words, there is something in common between Meng Changxi and He Shouye, and the butterfly is the bridge connecting the two of them."
Hearing this, Han Fei couldn't help but interrupt Li Xue's words: "Meng Changxi has been missing for so long. Is it possible that his relics and the information he left behind were forged? Or is it that someone else deliberately framed him?"
Han Fei had met Meng Shi, and he knew that the person who was truly obsessed with those books and seduced by butterflies was not Meng Changxi, but Meng Changan.
"It's very difficult to forge a relic. He first has to imitate Meng Changxi's handwriting and know all of Meng Changxi's social media account passwords. The most important point is who would spend years planning all this?"
"If I were the real murderer, I would do these things. Once the truth is revealed, this will be a way out." Han Fei didn't want to beat around the bush and said in a low voice: "Compared to Meng Changxi, you should really pay more attention to Meng Changan. That guy who looks the most harmless may even dare to kill his adoptive mother."
Han Fei had just finished saying this when he suddenly heard a sound behind him.
He reacted very quickly, but even so, when he turned his head, he only saw a beverage bottle rolling at the corner of the old street.
"Someone?" Han Fei had been reading books these days for a long time. On the surface, he did not change at all, but he said to the phone: "Li Xue, someone seems to be following me. He probably heard what I said."
"where are you now?"
"The families of the victims of the human puzzle are also here at the entrance of the filming location of "Flower of Evil"."
"Don't go home yet, come directly to the Xintiandi Shopping Mall on North Street. There are a lot of people there. I'll be there soon."
"good."
Han Fei hung up the phone as if nothing had happened and did not take any public transportation. He went to the mall leisurely as usual.
The feeling of being followed did not appear. Han Fei wandered around the mall for a long time but could not find Li Xue. It was not until it was almost dark that he received another call from Li Xue.
Several police officers kept an eye on Han Fei through surveillance, and everything was normal.
Han Fei did not meet with the police, and the police did not misunderstand Han Fei because of this situation. Instead, they unanimously decided to strengthen the protection of Han Fei.
As a little-known comedian, Han Fei had never been followed by anyone. This time, he also experienced the feeling of those big stars being followed and secretly photographed, the only difference is that the people following them were paparazzi, while the people following him might be a wanted criminal.
After buying enough food for a week at the mall and a few large locks, Han Fei returned to his rented cottage.
After closing the door, Han Fei had a simple meal, and then added new locks to the door and windows.
"It should be safe now."
He placed the various self-defense items he ordered online beside him, and after practicing the fighting moves taught by Li Xue again, he began to look through the books he had purchased online. These books were all the ones Meng Changan had read when he was young.
It was almost midnight when he rubbed his eyes and put down the book in his hand.
"Among the questions He Shouye asked the children, there are two that need attention. One is whether they dreamed of a black box, and the other is whether they dreamed of butterflies landing on people's heads."
Li Xue doesn't play games, so she doesn't know about the black box Easter eggs in "Perfect Life", but Han Fei is different. He had just talked about it with Huang Ying before.
"Is that butterfly also looking for the black box in my mind? But the game "Perfect Life" didn't even appear ten years ago. Could it be that the black box came first, and then the game "Perfect Life" came into being?"
"He Shouye and his men are targeting orphans and abandoned babies. Could it be that they are looking for someone who can carry the black box?"
Han Fei looked at the gaming helmet on the table. There was one piece of information he had never told Li Xue: he was also an orphan.
It’s just that he didn’t grow up in the North Street Orphanage in the old city of Xinhu when he was a child, but grew up in a place called Xingfu Orphanage in the old city.
The welfare home where he lived once gave him a feeling of home. It was always very lively during the holidays every year, and everyone around him was happy and joyful, just like a family. But from a certain point in time, everything changed.
"I haven't even made you laugh yet, but I've lost my smile first. Life is really full of surprises and ups and downs."
After connecting all the lines, Han Fei dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind. When midnight arrived, he put on the gaming helmet.
Blood fell, and the world in Han Fei's eyes was instantly dyed red.
