The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 166 The Monster at Home
Did Isaac suspect his wife right away?
He Nan thought it was very possible.

Isaac's attitude towards his wife has been in a state of "just a straw" all year round.

...doesn't all this explain

So, is that isolation room prepared for the wife when she is sick?
No...not likely.

If Bessie's condition is still so unstable while taking medicine, and she must be isolated to ensure safety, then how can Isaac leave her alone at home to take care of the children in such a serious state?
She should be very stable normally.

It's just that occasionally you may lose control of your emotions and the like, they are all minor problems.

Judging from the fact that so many medicines are placed here, and the two of them didn't take them with them when they fled, it's enough to prove my previous inference, right?They are obviously useless to Isaac and Rick today!The people who ate them have died.

Besides, that room is connected to Rick's room.

If it was used to isolate Bessie, why open up with Rick's bedroom?
There are no solid inferences at all!
……

The monster that Bessie mentioned...

... Mrs. Wendy said it was "comfort"?
Could it be that Bessie would do something because of mental illness?
Why didn't Rick tell me?

He Nan frowned.

Rick's memory may have been seriously affected.

For example, he doesn't remember killing his sister at all.

no, no...

... not quite right.

It's unlikely that Bessie did something.

The problem might still be Rick and Daisy.

Both children are being experimented with.

He Nan came to Daisy's bedroom.

It's pretty much the same as the decorations in her lifetime - He Nan guessed so.

Everything is in order.

And, there's that special Rorschach blot here too.

It was also placed in a photo frame and placed on the table.

Are the two children experimental subjects...

Looking at all this, He Nan took a deep breath.

...comfort the children.

comfort……

……

Could it be that the child is hallucinating occasionally at home, seeing that kind of ghost... or something?
They're probably very scared...and the ghost seems to be trying to control and trick them out of the house...?
This is called a "monster", and if mother heard them say that such a thing exists, maybe she would persuade them not to listen to what ghosts said and leave home?
Said that this kind of monster is not to be afraid of, as long as it stays at home, it is safe?
...seems to make sense.

If Mom really said that, did Rick forget about it, or was he too young to forget it soon after it happened?
Or... just because it was too scary and would cause psychological trauma, so it was selectively forgotten because of the psychological protection mechanism?
In short, it should have stopped happening afterward.

If it's been happening all the time, there's no way he wouldn't have told me.

Thinking this way, He Nan took a deep breath.

He recalled the "psychiatrist".

The more I think about it, the more it feels wrong.

Is that guy really just a psychiatrist?
Or...was it someone from the White Swan Orphanage?

He Nan paced around looking for new clues, while thinking quickly in his brain.

Since Rick killed Daisy...

... Then he definitely read the special Rorschach inkblot just before going to bed that day.

In other words, at least since that day, the Rorschach blot has been in his hands.

This can be connected with what I thought above and verified each other.

Now the problem is the room with the two iron doors.

When was it established?

In short, Isaac should really not know that Rick killed Daisy, otherwise he would probably be locked in that room directly.

After all, his son is too dangerous, and he doesn't know when he will lose control.

...but he must have known recently that something was wrong with his son.

He may have started seeing those horrible visions again.

Rick also revealed this point to He Nan and Shirley a little bit.

It's just that he didn't say so specifically, he just said that he was afraid and felt that there was a monster...

…and that might be more than a feeling.

It was the illusion that was affecting his mind.

He Nan could understand that fear.

He has just experienced it twice.

That feeling, as if... directly tapped the source of your fear.

It reads directly into your brain and knows what you are most afraid of, so it shows you what.

Looking back, I still feel a sense of exhaustion.

and so……

Assuming my previous deduction is correct, Isaac accepted the experiment on the White Swan side for some reason-this should not be before the orphanage where I grew up closed down and Alan Bellamy was replaced by the White Swan Take in—then, Rick and Daisy must have been relatively stable in the past few years.

Afterwards, since finding Daisy dead, Rick has been terrified by the inkblots, possibly with some insanity, but not as aggressive as he was before killing Daisy.

It is likely that his memory of the attack was rather vague, so he didn't tell me about it—or he didn't think it had anything to do with the case and his father forbade him from leaking secrets, so he didn't talk to me.

He Nan felt that there were too many possibilities, but no matter what, it all led to a result.

... It was Isaac who found him a psychiatrist.

Isaac probably didn't think it was the ink, because the ink never made a difference.

He probably felt that Daisy's death had spurred him on.

but……

Isaac may have noticed it too, which has little effect on reasoning.

Even if he noticed it, and then directly contacted White Swan to ask someone to come over there... he wouldn't think his son was the murderer because of this, would he?
He never thought about it in this direction from the beginning to the end.

This is perfectly normal.

After all, Rick only got sick when he knew his sister was dead.

It never occurred to Isaac that he was the one who killed his sister, nor that the ink blot, which was always only slightly hallucinatory and seemed to have been useless for a long time, would have such a drastic effect on him.

... Not to mention that he would fall ill on the day his sister disappeared, but it didn't show up until he learned that his sister had died.

This delay is really a thinking trap.

Isaac felt rightly stimulated by his son.

... So, if I want to explain the existence of this iron gate, in what direction should I think?

He Nan looked at it and frowned.

Is it possible this thing is newly installed?
... Right after the psychiatrist came?
If so, it is very likely that the person who came was a white swan.

Because they understand Rick's illness.

That's where the Rorschach blot came from.

He Nan took a deep breath.

Then reason, what they might have told Isaac.

...In short, no matter what it is, it probably includes the following items.

1: Take care of your son, don't let him run around - this may be one of the reasons why he is determined not to work overtime on weekends.

2: We will transform the side of your son's bedroom into an isolation room. If your son has any serious abnormalities, we will lock him in for observation.

3: We will send someone to watch you.Don't even think about giving away.
