"Bedwetting, arson, and animal cruelty... My goodness, Usagi Maru's start in life has all three of Macdonald's symptoms."
When Kamiyakawa saw this, he frowned slightly and shook his head.
In criminal psychology, there is a theory called "McDonald's Three Symptoms", which widely appears in suspense films, TV series and novels.
Kamiya had seen it before when watching the drama.
According to this theory, by investigating the circumstances of serial killers in their childhood, it was found that a considerable number of them engaged in one or two of the three abnormal behaviors of "bedwetting, arson, and animal cruelty."
These three behaviors can be understood as external manifestations of the client's problematic psychology.
Abnormal bedwetting indicates a lack of care in childhood and is easily frightened.
Murderous behavior shows a strong desire for control and a low sense of self-security.
Arson behavior indicates high mental stress and low self-control. In criminal psychology, arson behavior is usually considered to be associated with sexual crimes.
Of course, the theory is just a theory, just refer to it.
But Usagi Maru had all three of these abnormal behaviors when he was a child, which more or less explains the problem.
Congenital malformation, lack of family care, and Itakura Ryozo's yanggu-style education definitely had a great impact and distortion on Usagi Maru's psychology.
[Itakura's Essay Autobiography (2)] Seeing that it was not over yet, Kamiyagawa turned the pages of the yellowed paper in his hand and continued reading the next content——
…
When Usagi Maru was 12 years old, I noticed that he would often stare at the circus actresses with strange eyes.
I know that look.
So, one night I called Usagi Maru into my room.
I asked him what he thought of the actresses he often stared at.
After hearing my question, Usagi Maru was silent at first, then started to tremble, and finally cried.
He said to me: "Mr. Itakura, I don't know. I don't know why this is happening. I want to hurt them and I can't help thinking... Teacher Kato told me that this kind of thinking is wrong, but I
I just can’t help it...I can’t control it.”
Oh, the teacher Kato mentioned by Usagi Maru is the magician who taught him magic.
That guy has an arrogant appearance, but being around Usagi Maru is a problem, just like Usagi Maru's mother.
So I dealt with him early.
I handled him so well that the people in the circus thought the magician had just resigned and left.
The troublesome Kato is no longer around, and Usagi Maru has begun to awaken his murderous nature.
The time has come.
Three nights later, I used anesthetic to stupefy Nanako, the 11-year-old actress in the circus.
Usagi Maru usually pays the most attention to her.
I locked the fainted Nanako into the warehouse, tied it up with hemp rope, and then brought Usagi Maru in.
And a fire ax was thoughtfully placed in the warehouse.
"You can do anything to her."
With these words behind me, I locked the door and left.
I really believed at that time that my son was going to become an excellent hunter and he would soon catch his first prey.
It is impossible for Usagi Maru to suppress his nature that has begun to explode.
I know that feeling.
It would be even more painful to ask him not to hurt others than to kill him.
But wait until the next day, I open the door of the warehouse.
The scene inside was incredible to me.
The girl Nanako was not dead. The knots on her hands and feet were all intact. She was huddled in a corner of the warehouse in fear and with tears streaming down her face.
But my useless son Usagi fell into a pool of dried blood, completely lifeless.
He committed suicide.
Use the blade of an ax to dig open his abdominal cavity...
What a pity, Usagi Maru and I are still different after all.
Dad is really disappointed in you.
…
The content of [Itakura's Essay Autobiography (2)] does not end here.
After Kamiyakawa read the words on the paper, he said nothing.
After a long time, he looked up at the tightly closed red curtain: "So, Usagi Maru is Mr. Rabbit? He has always held fragments of his autobiography related to himself. No wonder he has a neutral attitude towards me."
In addition, in "Itakura's Essay Autobiography (Part 2)", in addition to Usagimaru's experience, there is another character described that makes Kamiya particularly concerned.
He was the "breeder" who taught Itakura Ryozo how to transform into an evil spirit.
It is mentioned in the autobiography that this breeder has another code name——
Noon.
"The Pink Fairy I killed was Sishi. So this Wushi breeder is probably also a member of the Fengmoshi organization?"
The story behind the third map, Dreamland, seems to involve the mysterious organization Feng Moshi.
Kamiya has no other clues about this yet.
We can only keep an eye on it first.
Just thinking about it.
There was a "wow", and the red curtain on the stage in front of me suddenly opened again.
I saw Mr. Rabbit holding a fire ax, surrounded by a group of white rabbits, standing in the center of the stage. Those red rabbit eyes were staring straight at Kamiya.
"Usagimaru?"
Kamiyagawa asked tentatively.
But Mr. Rabbit shook his head, opened his three-petal mouth, and said: "If you must call me by my name when I was alive, then my name is Kato Sho. I was once known as the most famous person in the Itakura Circus.
The magician of 'Goldenfinger'."
Kato Sho.
Contacting some of the contents of the second chapter of the autobiography, Kamiya instantly understood that the red rabbit in front of him was the magician who taught Usagi Maru magic, and was the teacher Kato in Usagi Maru's mouth.
However, in the autobiography from Itakura's perspective, there is very little description of Kato Sho.
There are only a few words.
Kamiyagawa only knew that Kato Sho was also a victim killed by Itakura Ryozo.
And it is mentioned in the autobiography that Kato is a "trouble" around Usagi Maru.
If the perverted Itakura Ryozo sees him as trouble, then this magician is basically a good person.
"As for Usagi Maru," Mr. Rabbit continued, "he is here."
As he spoke, the group of white rabbits around him began to gather and stack up.
The shapes of the fluffy rabbits began to twist and deform.
Finally, a gray rabbit jumped out of Kato Sho's top hat and jumped into the pile of white rabbits. All the rabbits disappeared instantly, leaving only a timid little boy in the place.
The boy is about twelve or thirteen years old, thin and has a cleft lip.
"This is Usagi Maru? The child who was indoctrinated with distorted values, but at the last moment would rather commit suicide than hurt anyone... Ah, no wonder, the red rabbit is exactly the size of an adult."
Kamiyagawa understood immediately.
Probably similar to the configuration of the Headless Expedition Team consisting of five people and one car to complete the ghost story, "Mr. Rabbit" is also a combination of twin ghost stories.
Together, Kato Sho and Usagi Maru are the complete Mr. Rabbit.
