Chapter 985 Psychopaths

"Young man, I haven't seen you before. Are you here looking for someone?"

An old man's voice sounded in Xiao Xiao's ears.

Xiao Xiao turned and looked at the old man without any surprise.

He naturally heard the footsteps of someone approaching.

What’s more, the old man’s footsteps were not light at all.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded. He was looking for someone. "Grandpa, do you live on the sixth floor?"

"No, I live on the fifth floor."

The old man shook his head and said, "I just saw that you seemed to have been standing here for a while, so I came up to take a look."

He raised his head and looked to the left, with a hint of disdain on his face, "Young man, are you here to see your friend?"

"You should talk to your friend and ask him to move to another place."

“Even if it’s cheap, the environment here is too bad.”

……

"Grandpa, you don't care about this?"

Xiao Xiao didn't believe that no one had found the neighborhood committee.

I just went to the neighborhood committee, but it's still the same, so...

He seems to be a guy who is very difficult to communicate with.

……

"Control? How?"

The old man sighed and said, "Do you know who lives there?"

"who?"

Xiao Xiao asked in cooperation.

"A psychopath."

The old man lowered his voice a bit.

"Neuropathy?"

Xiao Xiao repeated softly, "Psychopath?"

"Yes, that's about what it means."

The old man had a complex expression on his face, "I watched that child grow up."

"What a sin."

"Ok?"

Xiao Xiao responded at the right time.

The old man looked a little dazed, as if lost in memories, "Xiao Yang and his family moved here 20 years ago."

"Xiao Feng was only nine years old at that time."

"Xiao Feng is Xiao Yang and his family's son. He lives alone in that room now."

The old man pointed to the door on the left side of the sixth floor.

"Xiao Feng's parents, Xiao Yang, disappeared when Xiao Feng was in his third year of high school."

"disappeared?"

Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.

"Well, the police searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone."

"In fact, we have all been guessing privately that after so many years, they must be unable to bear taking care of a mentally ill son."

“You can’t blame them for this.”

"Xiao Feng is a little too creepy sometimes."

"We could occasionally hear hysterical screams and sounds of things being smashed coming from their house."

"That kid is driving his parents crazy."

The old man's words were full of emotion and sympathy.

"It was not easy for them to hold on for so long and not leave until their children were adults."

……

The old man paused and continued, "We didn't know the child's situation when they first moved in."

"I just feel that the child seems a little depressed despite his young age."

“I thought it was influenced by his parents.”

"Because Xiao Yang and his wife always have a somewhat obscure expression."

"It was not until we saw the child talking to himself several times that we understood why Mr. and Mrs. Yang were always so worried."

"Later, the neighbors got to know each other better, and gradually everyone knew about Xiao Yang's family situation." "Xiao Feng was bullied and excluded at school because of his abnormal behavior, and he would get injured from time to time."

"Although they are just minor injuries like scrapes and bruises."

"We negotiated with the school many times but failed to solve the problem. Seeing that the child was becoming more and more silent, they changed the child's school and moved."

"They hope the new environment will bring some positive changes to their children."

"But no."

The old man shook his head and said, "I have never seen what Xiao Feng looked like before."

"But from the first time I saw the child until later, I hardly ever saw the child smile happily."

"Of course, I haven't seen the kid much in the past few years."

"I don't know if he has changed at all."

"Doesn't he still live here?"

Xiao Xiao was puzzled. If that was the case, wouldn’t it be incredible that the neighbors on the upper and lower floors hadn’t seen each other for several years?
"That kid has been staying at home almost every day these past few years, and I have never seen this door open."

The old man sighed and shook his head.

"When his parents disappeared before, the child was very quiet."

"If I hadn't asked him by chance where his parents were and why he hadn't seen them for a long time, he probably wouldn't have reported his parents missing to the police."

"Maybe he also knows why Xiao Yang and the others left?"

At this point, the old man couldn't help but reveal a bit of pity in his eyes, "Xiao Feng is a normal child except that he likes to talk to himself and say some inexplicable words."

Otherwise he wouldn't be here, but in a mental hospital.

"A very quiet child, a little dull."

"How did you get this disease?"

The old man didn't know how many times he asked himself the same question, but he still couldn't find the answer.

He knew that Xiao Yang and his friends had taken Xiao Feng to see many doctors, but there was still no unified conclusion or effective treatment plan.

Besides, Xiaofeng really doesn't like hospitals.

So later, they stopped going to the hospital.

"After the police had been searching for three months without any news, Xiao Feng said there was no need to look anymore."

"Since then, the child has locked himself in the house."

“I didn’t even go to college.”

"Maybe you can't afford the tuition?"

The old man speculated, "If it weren't for the garbage at the door, we would have suspected that he had left or something had happened."

"It's definitely wrong for him to leave the garbage there like this, and we went looking for him."

“It takes a long time for the door to open every time I knock.”

"He always complies with our requests, but he never changes his ways."

"Once, a hot-tempered director in our community almost cursed out loud, but was frightened."

"Scared?"

Xiao Xiao was puzzled, "What did he do?"

"this-"

The old man frowned in confusion, "The director said Xiao Feng's eyes are too scary."

"That's not a human look at all."

"It doesn't look like a human's eyes?"

Xiao Xiao frowned slightly.

"Maybe the child has been alone for too long and is a little gloomy?"

The old man guessed uncertainly, "But the director, a grown man, was frightened by a young man. We all laughed at him for a long time."

"After that incident, the neighborhood committee stopped caring about Xiao Feng's littering."

"Although the smell is a bit unpleasant, Xiao Feng will clean it up by himself after a while."

"It won't be clean for long though, as new garbage will pile up again soon."

"If the other two families have objections, the neighborhood committee will let them communicate among themselves."

"But we will tell them in advance that Xiao Feng is a mental patient."

“Some people will move out soon.”

"But some people move in here because of the cheap rent."

"The tenants change one after another, so the house is never empty."
