A full minute passed before Doctor Pei spoke. He looked at the sick Jiang Xiaohu with a strange expression.

"I feel like the whole family is sick. I don't mean that in a derogatory way. It's just what I said literally." Doctor Pei stood up and walked around the bed. "Three years ago, Jiang Xiaohu's mother brought him and his sister to see a doctor. I still remember the scene that day clearly. His mother's name was Zhang Chuyu. She was dressed very beautifully and had a strong scent of perfume on her body."

"She was wearing designer clothes, but I could sense that she was not happy. She was hiding something in her heart. She was a little dazed and her mind was often distracted when she was talking to me."

"After a brief conversation, I got a general idea of ​​her family's situation."

"My sister Jiang Bai suffers from paranoia. She always feels that someone wants to kill her, and everyone she sees looks like a perverted murderer."

"My younger brother Jiang Xiaohu's illness is rather strange. He often does some inexplicable and very dangerous things, such as turning on the gas stove switch by himself, pouring water on the power socket, playing with fire at home, etc."

"Zhang Chuyu has reprimanded Jiang Xiaohu more than once, but not only did the child not listen, he even became worse."

"Later, her husband Jiang Long found out about this and beat Jiang Xiaohu several times. However, violence did not change Jiang Xiaohu. Instead, it made his personality even more eccentric."

"I am impulsive and violent. I often fight with classmates and cause trouble at school. Sometimes I feel like I am possessed by evil spirits and I try my best to hurt the people around me."

"It was the first time I encountered such a patient. Considering Jiang Xiaohu was still young, I did not prescribe medicine for him at the time. Instead, I encouraged his parents to communicate more with him."

"I am doing this for the good of the child's future, but Zhang Chuyu doesn't think so. She is very impatient and thinks the child should take medicine if he is sick."

"There are disagreements over treatment. As a doctor specializing in mental illness, we are often misunderstood. I don't take this little thing to heart."

"When a child's personality suddenly changes, it must be related to the surrounding environment. In my opinion, Jiang Xiaohu's illness is largely caused by his parents."

"In order to better treat Jiang Xiaohu, I asked his mother and sister to leave first, and left Jiang Xiaohu alone to have a good talk with him."

"This communication doesn't matter. I discovered something so weird and terrifying."

Doctor Pei did not shy away from talking to the sick Jiang Xiaohu, and continued in front of him: "During the process of questioning Jiang Xiaohu, the child accidentally revealed a piece of information. His mother is lying."

"Lying?" Chen Ge was a little confused: "The mother lied just to get her child into a mental hospital? I think Jiang Xiaohu should be the one who lied."

Doctor Pei shook his head gently: "I couldn't confirm the truth, but after Jiang Long died in a car accident, I realized that Jiang Xiaohu might not have lied."

"What did he tell you?"

"Jiang Xiaohu secretly told me that he did not do those dangerous things. His mother held his hands and forced him to do those things in order to create the illusion that he was crazy."

"A mother forces her child to do those dangerous things?" Chen Ge was increasingly confused: "What is her purpose in doing this?"

"The purpose is to kill Jiang Xiaohu's father, Jiang Long." Doctor Pei looked at Jiang Xiaohu with a complicated look: "This child told me that the person who is really crazy is his mother Zhang Chuyu. His mother knew that her husband had a mistress outside, and she planned to kill Jiang Long accidentally, get a large amount of insurance compensation, and then take over Jiang Long's company."

"It's hard to imagine these words coming out of a child's mouth. It can't be that simple, right?"

"Yes, I think the same as you." Doctor Pei leaned against the bed, his eyes gloomy: "I don't think a child can understand so many things. These words are most likely taught to him by others. There are four people in this family. The father works away from home all year round. It is impossible for the mother to frame herself. So the most likely person who taught Jiang Xiaohu to say these words is his sister - Jiang Bai."

Chen Ge did not interrupt and let Dr. Pei finish his words.

"I later called Jiang Bai in alone, and the results I got after questioning him shocked me."

"Jiang Bai told me that the one who was really crazy was her father, Jiang Long. As early as when Jiang Long started to take charge of the Mingyang Community project, she felt that her father was abnormal. He stayed out all night and often did things that normal people couldn't understand. He also looked at his family members with strange eyes."

"Once Jiang Long got drunk and had an argument with his mother Zhang Chuyu. Jiang Long, who was usually gentle, actually beat Zhang Chuyu up and even ran into the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife."

"He waved his hands in the air, pointed at an empty place and yelled curses, as if he had become a completely different person."

"Since then, Jiang Long has come home less often. He has been mysterious all day long and even bought a house in Liwan Town in the eastern suburbs and lives there alone."

"If that was all, Jiang Bai wouldn't think his biological father was a lunatic, but something that happened later made Jiang Bai completely terrified of his father."

"Just one month before they came to me for treatment, Zhang Chuyu was hit by Jiang Xiaohu while pouring boiling water, and both were scalded. Jiang Bai sent Zhang Chuyu and Jiang Xiaohu to the hospital. She called her father, but no one answered. Later, she ran to Jiang Long's house in the eastern suburbs to look for him."

"After hearing that Zhang Chuyu and Jiang Xiaohu were both scalded, Jiang Long cursed a few times and said that he was busy recently and couldn't go to see them."

"Jiang Bai was very angry when he heard this, so he stayed at Jiang Longxin's house and insisted that his father go to the hospital."

"At night, Jiang Long received a call and left in a hurry, leaving Jiang Bai alone at home."

"In the middle of the night, Jiang Bai suddenly heard some noises in the house. She thought it was a mouse, so she searched for a long time and finally found a secret room behind the closet."

"When she entered, she saw an iron cage with a huge rag doll inside!"

"There seemed to be a person inside the rag doll. The person was speechless and very weak. When he heard the door of the secret room open, he instinctively became afraid and shrank into the innermost part of the cage."

"Jiang Bai didn't dare to go over. She was terrified. She closed the closet door and fled back to the hospital overnight. She told Zhang Chuyu and Jiang Xiaohu about it."

"Jiang Xiaohu was young and didn't understand anything, but Zhang Chuyu's reaction was very strange. When she heard that there was a huge rag doll behind the closet, she laughed very happily."

"According to Jiang Bai's description, Jiang Long and his wife both have mental problems, but there is a contradiction. Zhang Chuyu said that Jiang Bai suffers from paranoia and everything is just his imagination."

Doctor Pei finally finished talking about the family: "In short, this is the situation in their family. The mother said that the brother and sister are mentally ill, the brother said that the mother is crazy, and the sister thinks that the mother and father have problems with their brains. I am not afraid of you laughing at me. Until now, I am not sure who is lying."
