Chapter 281 - 282: Mom Was Killed by Dad
Chapter 281 - 282: Mom Was Killed by Dad
[What does that mean? His mom is on his dad’s back?]
[Huh? Why the sudden cryptic talk? I’m completely lost.]
[Don’t get it, don’t support it, don’t understand it.]
Su Nian’s expression turned grim. A certain possibility suddenly occurred to her.
Su Nian’s lips curved down slightly. "How is your mom and dad’s relationship?"
The little boy tilted his head, his round eyes revealing that he was deep in thought.
After a moment, he said, "Dad hits Mom a lot. Dad says it’s because Mom is bad, and that’s why he hits her. I don’t know if their relationship is good or not."
[What does that mean? I think I’m starting to get it.]
[Hearing that, their relationship must be terrible.]
[And did you guys notice? Earlier, he said his mom brought him to wait in a long line, but they left because his dad wanted to drink pork rib soup. Based on that, his old man sounds irresponsible, selfish, and lazy.]
Su Nian nodded. Looking at the space between his eyebrows, she saw that his mother was already dead. But at the same time, the facial area representing his parents was tainted with the stench of blood.
His mother had already become a ghost.
Combining that with what he’d said about his mom being on his dad’s back, Su Nian quickly arrived at an answer in her mind.
"Did your dad hit your mom a few days ago?"
"I don’t know. I think so? Dad hits Mom a lot. I don’t know if he hit her that day or not. He probably did."
After thinking carefully, the little boy spoke again like a miniature adult. "Mom said that Dad likes to hit people whenever he drinks, and she told me to stay away from him. So I don’t know if Dad hit Mom that night or not."
[I have a bad feeling about this. Don’t tell me his dad beat his mom to death.]
[Combined with him saying his mom is on his dad’s back... yeah, this isn’t looking good.]
Su Nian’s expression grew solemn. She frowned, lowered her head, and gently squeezed the little boy’s soft cheek.
"Has your mom talked to you recently?"
The boy shook his head.
"No! Mom never talks anymore. Dad just carries her on his back everywhere. And Dad has gotten really weird, too. He actually asked me why I’m not looking for Mom. But isn’t he carrying her right on his back?"
His innocent, unfiltered words and naive appearance only made the viewers’ blood run colder.
[I’m sure of it now. His dad definitely... did something... to his mom.]
[His mom’s probably a goner, right?]
[Holy crap, his dad killed his mom!?]
Su Nian looked at him with a complicated expression. Still, she managed a faint smile, stroking the boy’s cheek as she continued in a gentle voice, "And after you said that, did your dad say anything?"
The little boy looked down, dejected. "Dad called me a psycho and then kicked me out."
"Then I remembered that Mom said you’re a really, really amazing person. She said that if I had any problems, I should find you, and you would solve them. So I came to ask you. Why is Dad always carrying Mom on his back? And why did he kick me out? I want to go home, too."
The little boy spoke dejectedly, his voice low.
[Okay, hearing that, I’m pretty much certain. His old man is a total scumbag.]
[He’d even kill his wife and abandon his son!]
[I’ve already called the cops. Whether this is real or not, the police will definitely get to the bottom of it.]
[I didn’t expect it to get this intense right from the start.]
The little boy hung his head, looking lost for a moment, but soon he lifted it again.
"But I think it’s nice that Dad is carrying Mom. They were always fighting, but now I can finally see them together and happy."
"Mom said that a child with a mom and a dad is a happy child. I feel like I’m very happy right now, too."
[This makes me even more sure his old man is a piece of trash.]
[The innocent words of a child... so chilling when you really think about it!]
[I wonder what he’ll think when he’s older and remembers this moment?]
Su Nian frowned, at a loss for words.
Facing such a young child, it seemed anything she said would be a kind of harm to him.
Even if he didn’t understand now, he would eventually when he grew up. The psychological impact of this event would surely be immense.
Moreover, Su Nian could see from his face that this child was not simple. Right now, his features were clear and bright, and he carried an air of righteousness.
But in the future, his features would be tainted with the stench of blood. It seemed that one day, he too would become a murderer.
’I can’t change the child’s future. Everyone has their own path to walk, but I can make the right choice in the present.’
Su Nian soothingly patted the child’s head, but her other hand firmly tapped the button to call the police.
The boy lifted his head and gave Su Nian a sweet smile.
[I think I saw the streamer call the police. This can’t be real, can it?]
[No doubt about it, it’s definitely real!]
[Yeah! A kid can’t act like that.]
[This little boy is so pitiful. His own father murdered his mother.]
After seeing the boy, a flicker of uncertainty crossed Su Nian’s face.
She propped her chin on her hand, smiled at the little boy, and said, "Why don’t you take me to your house?"
The boy tilted his head, a little confused, but he did as Su Nian asked and led her to his home.
The little boy had a good memory. He gave Su Nian directions the whole way as she drove her car back to his house.
It was an old residential complex. The apartment buildings within it were already looking rather shabby and dilapidated.
There were many winding alleys nearby. It looked like the people who lived here were not well-off.
Following the boy’s directions, Su Nian climbed three flights of stairs and finally arrived at his home.
She walked up to the door, which already had an ominous air about it.
As she approached, everything seemed normal. There were no strange sounds coming from inside the apartment.
But Su Nian could see a black miasma seeping out from behind the door.
The black miasma was spreading throughout the entire apartment, looking as if it was about to swallow the place whole. It was even leaking out through the cracks around the door.
There was definitely a dead person inside. Someone who had died a tragic death and turned into a vengeful spirit!
This was the kind of ghost Su Nian usually hated dealing with the most. Even if she spent a great deal of effort to exorcise and guide it to the afterlife, she wouldn’t receive much spiritual merit for her trouble.
Besides, from Su Nian’s perspective, the ghost was now haunting the man. He was only getting what he deserved.
But now, with the little boy’s eyes fixed on her, Su Nian simply smiled and knocked on the door.
There was no answer from inside. The little boy found a key under the doormat and opened the door, walking in.
As soon as he pushed the door open, the little boy looked confused.
"Where’s Dad? Why isn’t Dad here?"
But at that moment, Su Nian’s eyes were fixed on a tightly locked door to one of the rooms.
