The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 165 Drugs
I seem to know what the locked room is...

...is an isolation room.

He Nan stood in his father's room, looking at the shelves of drugs above, his heart beating wildly.

He knew many of these medicines.

There are sedatives, there are fever medicines, there are antiepileptics... and a whole host of psychiatric drugs.

He could probably imagine why that room was next to Rick's.

Moreover, they also communicate directly with each other.

Because... it is convenient to transfer him inside the house.

That way he wouldn't be dragged into the hallway.That might also startle family members or cause him to scurry around inadvertently.

At the same time, this also proves with a high probability that Rick's mental problems are mostly caused in his own house.

Otherwise... Wouldn't it be good to just transform his room into that?

Of course, it may also be because he usually stays in an ordinary room to reduce his psychological pressure... After all, it may be quite important to him whether he can freely go out through the ordinary door.

Thinking so, He Nan took a deep breath.

Since he had mental problems in the house...

...then how did it come about?

It's impossible to just stay in the bedroom and suddenly explode, right?So what does he say when he's in the living room or in the room of his loved ones?What about in the bathroom?

There must be something special about it...

...that inkblot?

Seeing that inkblot in the bedroom, might erupt?
……

The more He Nan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He felt his brain burning hot.

No... I'm missing something.

What is it?
What other key factors?
He Nan hurriedly flipped through his notes.

Everything Rick said to me, I'm going to re-read everything quickly.

Fortunately, He Nan recorded all the conversations with him.

...in every detail.

No testimony is useless in solving a case.

room... room...

Something related to his bedroom... Ah, there it is!
Looking at that conversation, He Nan felt creepy.

...just a very inconspicuous paragraph.

Rick said he was taking a nap when Daisy disappeared.About two hours.

When he woke up, he found that she was gone.

...Now we know Rick killed Daisy.

And if he did it, it should be two hours in a dream.

Maybe that's not him, but that doesn't matter.

The point is, he was asleep at the time.

And Rick's room just seen... This weird Rorschach inkblot is placed on the table in a photo frame.

Does that mean it's intentionally placed where it's easily seen by Rick's day-to-day activities?

In other words, putting it in the bedroom itself is related to "sleeping".

...Someone's request to Rick is to take a look before going to bed every day?
So... Rick was fine before, but he glanced at the inkblot before taking a nap that day, and then he was affected by the illusion of the inkblot and killed his sister?

No no, it's unlikely...

The inkblot should have affected him before...

Reminiscent of what the people in the White Swan Orphanage did with inkblots to test Alan Bellamy... Could it be that this was an experiment?
Did that ink blot come from Alan Bellamy's experiment, or did he test many people, but he was the only one who found that he could trigger superpowers?Who comes first?

... In any case, the blot was by no means limited to Ellen Bellamy.

I'm afraid many people will hallucinate because of it.

His father must have known that there was something wrong with the ink...but not only allowed the experiment to proceed, but also refused to stop after his son killed his daughter?
……wait.

He Nan frowned.

Think about this relationship...

Did Isaac not know that it was his son who killed his daughter?

……should be.

On the contrary, he misunderstood that it was his wife who killed his daughter.

In addition, she also put on a cuckold for herself, so it is completely understandable to kill the killer.

But then what?

Did he find out later that his daughter was not killed by his wife?
According to my original inference... yes.

I didn't find this ink stain at first, so I thought it was because he knew that his son had killed his daughter, and now he took him to hide outside in order to protect his son.

But now it seems that there is a problem with this idea.

He should not know what's wrong with his son until now.

Even the medicine should not be for the son.

The real problem should be... his wife!

He Nan immediately searched the couple's bedroom for Rorschach ink.

could not find it.

Although it is not certain that her wife's mental problems have nothing to do with Rorschach's ink marks, but... now it seems that her mental illness is likely to erupt after the death of her mother.

After all, she should have gotten mentally ill after marriage.

Had it been there before marriage, Isaac, as a devout Christian, probably would not have married her.

...In fact, it is very difficult for normal people to accept entering into marriage with such a mentally ill person, let alone Isaac?

Christianity traditionally believes that the mentally ill are cursed, or possessed by demons.

Obviously Isaac didn't think so completely, otherwise he wouldn't have given his wife active medication.

But most of the time I think so.

As for why he never divorced his wife, it may not be completely in love.

... The answer may still be linked to religion.

A devout Christian is an important identity of Isaac.

It can be seen from the huge cross hanging in the living room of his house.

Therefore, his formal logic cannot be separated from the Christian category.

Therefore, He Nan guessed that he might have disliked his wife who was "possessed by the devil" long ago.

But in the concept of conservative Christians, divorce is not possible.

Besides, they have children.

So he never got to that step, but continued to live his life.

...Maybe hating his wife is one of the important reasons why he often works overtime.

He Nan looked at those walls where he could see that there were once photo frames, but now there are square-shaped white marks left, and thought in his heart.

……

Are there any of these paintings that were once Rorschach inkblots?
In any case... There must have been a picture of them together.

Wedding photos and more.

And after his wife was killed by him, Isaac took them off.

...Maybe it was destroyed directly.

ended the relationship by hand.

Then the images that left the memories of the two were also destroyed.

In short... At least they lived in this room together before they lived in separate beds.

Therefore, it is quite normal to have a cabinet of medicines here.

The wife's usual condition should be relatively stable, so the husband can go to work with peace of mind and leave the two children to his wife.

Isaac probably hesitated too, doubting whether his wife would be able to take care of the children, but she should have done well before and hadn't exploded in public.Otherwise, the people nearby, at least Mrs. Wendy, would know that she has a mental illness.

So, as you can imagine...

...how shocked he must have been when he found out his daughter was missing.
