James had not yet reached the stage of voice change, and the words he spoke were crisp and childish. Among so many people in the audience, he was the only one with this tone. Hearing what James said, Louis, who was walking out without any struggle, suddenly stopped and turned around.
"James, what do you want to do? Don't forget, everything you have today is given by me!" Louis communicated with James in English. He looked angry, and his small eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to eat James.
James was not afraid of him, and did not even look at him. He said to Wu Dongyan, "My mother was fed to death by Louis, and so were my first aunt and second aunt. In addition to them, there are many uncles and aunts that I don't know."
Louis gritted his teeth and pushed away the two policemen escorting him: "James, what are you talking about?"
The two policemen were nearly knocked down by him, and after they regained their balance, they held him down until he could not move.
Louis raised his head and looked at James.
Louis was convinced that the police could not find more evidence of his crimes, but it would be different if James informed to them. Louis had always kept James by his side and trained him in the strictest way. Most of the secrets were not hidden from him. James knew everything about how he fed the dead and how he dealt with the bodies!
This time, James didn't ignore Louis like he did just now: "You know what? Dad, I really hate eating. I really hate eating all kinds of greasy meat. I really want to exercise every day and go out for a walk or a run with my friends. I also want to wear smaller clothes and take some handsome photos. I also want to not encounter strange looks from others when I go out. I also want to have a healthy body that doesn't need to take blood pressure medication often."
James is ten years old this year. Since he was born, he has been following the path arranged by Louis.
Because Louis has liked fat people since he was a child, he has to eat various high-calorie nutritious meals provided by Louis since he could walk and eat on his own. He cannot run or jump after eating, but has to lie down in bed immediately. He doesn't even need to walk a few steps, he just needs to eat and get fat.
He likes to eat green vegetables and light food, but since the day he can remember, green vegetables have rarely appeared in his diet, and all the vitamins his body needs are provided by various pills.
"I also want a mother who can kiss me and hug me." James had tears in his eyes.
His mother is a Chinese. When she traveled to Country M, she met Louis, who imprisoned her. She soon became pregnant. After she became pregnant, Louis began to feed him. When James was born, his mother had changed from a slim beauty weighing 90 pounds to a fat woman weighing 200 pounds.
His mother was not happy about James' birth, but after seeing how Louis tortured James, she softened her heart and began to interact with James, a child who was not born according to her will.
James was just four years old at that time. It was the first time for him to know what maternal love was. Even though his mother could not kiss or hug him like other mothers, she would tell him stories with her gentle voice, read him the Analects of Confucius, let him recite the Three Character Classic, and taught him many, many truths.
But she died, when James was seven years old, when James just started to understand things. That was also the year when James understood what hatred was. He hated Louis who didn't act like a father, and Louis who fed his mother until she weighed 600 kilograms, and whose body couldn't bear the weight of obesity and died suddenly.
It was also from that time that James began to regularly clean up the nannies and maids at home, because if they stayed at home for too long and knew too many things, Louis would not let them go.
James knew he had a bad reputation out there, but he didn't care because the only person who would scold him for being bad was no longer around.
Louis' face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He stared at James, whom he had focused on training since he was a child. Finally, he sneered and strode away.
Sitting in the police car, Louis's eyes were on James, who was explaining the situation to the police and reporting him. There was no resemblance to that woman on his chubby face!
Louis regretted it. He shouldn't have pitied James and let him grow up next to that woman! He should have cut off the contact between the two when he knew that the woman was finally willing to contact James. He should have stopped the woman from teaching James those bullshit when he knew that woman was teaching James.
But it was too late to say anything. Louis, who had always been extremely confident in himself, was not betrayed by his men, but was reported by his own son.
And from James, Lin Shuyue and the others learned for the first time that there is a psychological condition in this world called feeding addiction.
Louis grew up in a conservative oriental family. As the eldest son in the family, he carried his parents' earnest hopes for him. They hoped that he would make a name for himself in Country M and return to China one day to support the family that they had abandoned.
He was asked to learn a lot of things since he was young. Louis was under great pressure. Gradually, he began to like eating. When he ate, he felt joy, peace and happiness. At first, Louis only ate by himself. Later, Louis liked to feed others. His youngest brother was the first person he fed.
Seeing his little brother grow white and fat because of the food he fed him, Louis felt a great sense of accomplishment. Because of this successful case, this habit became uncontrollable. By the time Louis was 20 years old, he had been feeding others for seven or eight years without interruption.
The people he fed changed from his brother to several good-looking people in the slums, including people of all races. He even recorded his experiences of feeding others and wrote them on a locked blog. Over the years, this blog has been updated.
James said that the blog included comparison pictures of the people being fed before and after being fed.
Lin Shuyue brought a computer with her, and under James's guidance, she accessed Louis' blog. The earliest record of this blog was in 1982, and this blog clearly describes Louis' psychological journey over the years.
He never felt guilty for the people he fed to death. When he was abroad, he simply ignored those people. At home, there was an incinerator in the basement of his farm. After the death, the dead were directly pushed into the incinerator. After a while, only ashes were left on the ground. The ashes were scattered on the lawn, nourishing the green land of the farm.
From the beginning, he felt satisfied and happy when he ate, to the later feeling happy and satisfied when he watched others eat. Later, after he graduated and had a successful career, he was no longer satisfied with feeding those people in the slums. He began to look for people who could be fed worthy of his "status".
James' mother has a particularly nice name, Qin Qiangwei, from Shanghai, China. Because her parents have cooperation with businessmen from Country M, her parents took her with them when they went to discuss business. Because it was too boring to stay in the hotel, she played around the hotel.
James' mother was very beautiful, so beautiful that Louis fell in love with her at first sight and asked someone to take her back to a residence in Country M. Every month, even if he was busy with work in China, he would take one or two days to accompany her.
It's just that Louis's love came and went quickly. After Qin Qiangwei became pregnant, it had changed. Louis had completely lost interest in her and began to look forward to her fat appearance.
By the time James was born, he no longer cared about Qin Qiangwei except for checking the feeding video.
When James was five years old, he was brought to China. Because of his crying, Louis took Qin Qiangwei in as well. She was kept in the basement of the villa until her death. She never saw her parents whom she missed so much on Chinese soil.
Before Qin Qiangwei died, she held James' hand and repeated over and over again that Louis was a devil and a psychopath. She hugged James and told him not to become a person like Louis. She asked James to love himself, to understand the truth, and to learn to resist.
That was the first time James was hugged by his mother. That warm embrace with a faint fragrance is something James still misses. Every night when he goes back, he would cry while holding the only thing his mother left behind, her university ID card.
Every time he missed her, his hatred for Louis grew stronger. Until today, it completely exploded.
Louis's feeding journey did not end with Qin Qiangwei's death. His feeding targets have changed from ordinary people to celebrities with some fame.
In Louis' latest blog, which is visible only to him, the latest updated article was yesterday. He angrily scolded Yu Xiangwan for being ungrateful, and expressed his relief and comfort after feeding others.
"Pervert, so fucking perverted." Wu Dongyan has always considered herself a civilized person. She would never swear unless she really couldn't help it.
Chu Zhonglin, Ah Mi, Ah Yuan, Li Heng, Li Song and others didn't know what to say. They didn't expect that the reason why Ma Xinghui and the others were imprisoned was so simple.
Ma Xinghui and his friends have been sent to the hospital by the police for a physical examination. Ma Xinghui's parents were crying when they left. It is a good thing for a child to be fat, but good things and bad things should be kept in moderation. The obesity level of Ma Xinghui and his friends has far exceeded the range of moderation.
The police were still investigating the farm, while Lin Shuyue sent Chu Zhonglin and the others to the hospital.
Yu Xiangwan had already woken up. When Wu Dongyan asked her whether the reason she jumped off the building was because of Louis, Yu Xiangwan nodded painfully.
Then, she used her weak voice to tell Wu Dongyan the reason why she was with Louis.
"I have never liked Louis. When Louis pursued me, I rejected him in every possible way, but he arrested my parents and locked them up. He told others that my parents had immigrated to Australia."
"Whenever I disobeyed him, he would show me videos of my parents." Yu Xiangwan shed tears. "He didn't really love me. He only felt disgusted with me after a year. My stepson James found out that he didn't like me, so he kept looking for trouble with me. Many times, he made me so angry that I didn't want to go back to my place. Now I think James was protecting me."
"James never really bullied me. As long as I didn't go back to that villa, he would never come after me. The nannies and servants he beat up, although the injuries looked serious, were not serious. They all received generous compensation. ...
Yu Xiangwan hated herself for figuring out the problem, but it was too late. She would always remember the note James gave her when she got home yesterday. He told her to run away, because she called the police, because she was asking about the car brakes, Louis lost all his patience with her.
Yu Xiangwan was in great pain. If she had not returned to the villa that day, if she had not been so willful and not left her Honda behind wherever she went, Lao Huang would not have died.
Yesterday, Yu Xiangwan originally wanted Chu Zhonglin to take her directly to Hong Kong, but when Chu Zhonglin and the others went to the bathroom, she received a text message from Louis. Louis said that if she didn't die herself or become disabled, then what awaited her would be the news that her family would die for her.
Throughout her life, Yu Xiangwan had been spoiled by her parents since she was young. She had conflicts with her brothers and sisters, but no matter how big a mess she made, they would work hard to clean it up for her and take the blame. Yu Xiangwan knew that she couldn't be so selfish.
Wu Dongyan's cell phone rang. She answered the call and said to Xiang Wan, "My colleague sent me news that your parents, brothers and sisters are still alive."
They were locked up by Louis in a villa in the mountains. If it weren't for James's directions, the police wouldn't have been able to find the place even after two or three months. It was too remote. Louis actually cleared a piece of land in a primeval forest and settled the Yu family there.
Yu Xiangwan's eyes were full of anxiety, and Wu Dongyan miraculously understood what she meant: "They are all still of normal size. The reason they didn't escape is because the group of people guarding them all brought their own earthenware warehouses."
Knowing that her family was fine, Yu Xiangwan cried with joy.
Wu Dongyan glanced at Lin Shuyue and the others outside the intensive care unit, and continued to ask Yu Xiangwan: "Yu Xiangwan, do you know what Louis did in the Jiutang Town farm?"
Yu Xiangwan shook her head. "I only know that Louis always has to ask the kitchen to make a lot of things a few days a week and take them out with a truck, but I don't know where exactly they are taken, and I don't dare to ask because Louis has a bad temper."
Yu Xiangwan's statement matched that of James. Wu Dongyan turned off the recorder. The colleague following behind Wu Dongyan took notes and asked Yu Xiangwan to read them and confirm that they were correct before pressing her fingerprints.
Yu Xiangwan let out a long breath: "To be honest, I still can't figure out why Louis would like me."
Yu Xiangwan knew that she was good-looking, but definitely not stunningly beautiful. In the entertainment industry, her looks were at best above average.
Wu Dongyan knew this. On the way here from the farm, Wu Dongyan had seen Qin Qiangwei's photo. She said, "You look a lot like James' mother."
Yu Xiangwan was stunned and looked at Wu Dongyan.
Wu Dongyan added: "James' mother was kidnapped by Louis when she went on a business trip to Country M with her family. After she became pregnant with James, he lost interest in James' mother."
"James' mother died three years ago due to sudden death from obesity." Under Yu Xiangwan's incredulous gaze, Wu Dongyan continued: "Among the more than 20 people we have rescued from the farm, some parts of their bodies are similar to Qin Qiangwei to varying degrees."
Yu Xiangwan was shocked and extremely puzzled. She could not imagine that there would be such a perverted person in the world!
Wu Dongyan didn't understand either, and Lin Shuyue didn't understand even more.
But that brain was just full of damn random thoughts. After knowing that Louis turned into a stamp collector after James' mother Qin Qiangwei died, her mind suddenly thought of Yiping's father in Romance in the Rain, and then the famous Fourth Uncle in some palace fighting drama.
Louis was even worse than them. Whether it was Yiping's father or that fourth uncle, they were at least normal people, and their stamp collecting was normal. She really couldn't understand Louis's operation of collecting stamps and feeding them to death.
After returning home, when Lin Shuyue was writing this newspaper, she couldn't help but post a message in the emotional exchange area of the Cape Forum.
As soon as this scandal happened, it immediately attracted a lot of discussion. Some people said that Lin Shuyue was a writer and was making up stories, some people strayed to the topic of how beautiful Ms. Qin was, and more people were discussing Louis's abnormal psychology.
In less than half an hour, the posts sent out by Lin Shuyue built up a tall building, and Lin Shuyue's pseudonym "Xiao Shu who only speaks the truth" also became an instant hit on the Haijiao Forum. The number of fans in her personal profile also climbed steadily, from 0 to 300 in a short period of time. It felt like riding a rocket.
Lin Shuyue looked at the post that had more than ten replies as soon as she refreshed it, and her heart moved, and she immediately thought of the upcoming Internet era. She quickly found the Weibo of Big Eyes, which still stands strong in the future, registered a number, and then started to verify,
The blue V and yellow V certification in this era was still very simple. All you had to do was submit your information and proof. So before Lin Shuyue got off work, her profile had already been given a big yellow V.
After get off work, Lin Shuyue returned home. Except for Bai Wenhua and Luo Zhengjun who were working outside, everyone else had returned.
Bai Pingping and Zeng Xiaoyi were practicing singing in the room. Zeng Xiaoyi was preparing to participate in the singing program "Singing with You" on the provincial TV station in half a month. Lin Shuyang went out to play with Ah Hao and Zhou Bingrong.
Lin Shuxing had already started to experience pregnancy reactions and was squatting under the grape shed to vomit. Behind her was a cluster of brightly blooming chrysanthemums, in all colors of red, pink and yellow.
Lin Shuyue took a closer look and asked: "When did mother planted this flowers here?"
Although Lin Shuyue had not been back for several days, she still remembered clearly that this chrysanthemum had definitely not existed before.
Lin Shuxing rinsed her mouth with some water and said, "She just planted them the day before yesterday. Now, mother is obsessed with growing flowers. She told Uncle Bai last night that she wanted to take back the foam boxes from the store and plant sunflowers in them. The sunflowers at Grandma Huang's house next door are blooming very well this year, and she has already transplanted a lot of them."
Sunflowers are easy to grow. One root can produce a whole pot of flowers. They have many colors. When the sun rises during the day, the flowers open in the direction of the sun. At night, when the sun sets, they close automatically. Grandma Huang's house is next door. Every day when Lin Shuyue comes home, she will see the sunflowers in her yard.
Lin Shuyue thought about the sunflowers blooming in the yard and couldn't help but think: "I'll grow some and put them on the balcony of my apartment."
Lin Shuxing clapped his hands and said, "I think it's okay. We can also plant some roses. Roses have a long flowering period as long as they are well cared for."
"I think hibiscus is good too."
The two began to discuss the flowers on the balcony of Lin Shuyue's apartment. After deciding what kind of flowers to plant, Lin Shuxing seemed to have just thought of something. She said, "I received a call from my sister-in-law today. The verdict on Luo Laosan and his grandson has come out."
Lin Shuyue was stunned for a moment before she remembered who Luo Laosan was. She remembered the bags of bones dug out from the basement of Luo Laosan's pear orchard.
"Is it the death penalty?"
Lin Shuxing nodded: "Yes, but Luo Laosan kept saying that his grandson was under 18 years old, not an adult, and could not be sentenced to death, but no one paid any attention to him. The judge sentenced Luo Anping to death according to the age registered in the household registration book, and the sentence was to be executed immediately."
This was good news. After hearing it, Lin Shuyue felt better.
After eating peanut pig's trotter soup in the evening, Lin Shuyue did not return to the villa at night.
The next day, when Lin Shuyue woke up, she immediately picked up the newspaper beside her and read it.
The newspaper was still a comprehensive newspaper like the last funeral home. The first headline was about the famous singer and actor Yu Xiangwan falling to his death.
In this report, even though the police had many doubts about Xiang Wan's death, they investigated for several months and still could not find any evidence of Louis's crime, so they could only close Xiang Wan's case as an accident.
The second chapter of the newspaper was published in March 2005. The headline of the newspaper was "Eleven-year-old son kills his father just to avenge his mother."
Lin Shuyue was stunned when she saw the title. This report described in detail how James killed Louis. It happened at the end of February next year. After learning that another person had died in Louis's farm, James could no longer tolerate it. He put a large amount of cephalosporin and sleeping pills in Louis' favorite wine. After Louis fainted, he took out a knife and stabbed him more than a dozen times.
The report included a conversation between the reporter and juvenile offender James.
Reporter: "James, do you regret killing your father?"
James: "No regrets. Because my father has become insane. He not only added more people to the farm, but also increased the amount of food he wants me to eat. If I don't kill him first, I will be the one to die after a while. I already have high blood pressure, high blood fat, and diabetes. My body won't allow me to continue eating."
James: "My mother told me to learn to protect myself, to resist, and to live a good life. My father, Louis, told me that if you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. You see, I am a very obedient child. I listened to my mother and my father."
James smiled when he said this. At that time, he had been in a juvenile detention center for a long time. He had lost weight, his face had become more defined, and his narrow eyes were no longer crowded, revealing his original eye shape. Surprisingly, he had standard almond eyes.
The slimmed-down James looked quite handsome. Lin Shuyue also discovered that his features were 80% similar to Yu Xiangwan's.
At this moment, Lin Shuyue suddenly understood why Louis married Yu Xiangwan instead of sending Yu Xiangwan to a breeding farm.
She felt a little nauseous. She hated every scumbag who didn't cherish the person he or she had, and who would look for a replacement all over the world after the person left.
And Louis also has the attribute of a psychopath, which makes him even more annoying!
