Chapter 2 Psychiatrists

Do everything on the spot, otherwise the opportunity will be fleeting and you will never achieve your goal.

Now Xiao Xia has deeply realized this truth.

She should have asked the director to take over the case as soon as she returned to the office yesterday, but she didn't. As a result, early this morning, when she learned that the director had gone on a business trip due to urgent matters, she knew that she had to continue to reluctantly. In this place, no one dared to arrange tasks on his own without the director's nod, and no one dared to disturb him on the phone while he was on business.

Unless she resigns! But she will never find a good job again, and she will not be able to repay Director Pan for his kindness.

She had unsolvable emotions in her heart, and she had nightmares last night, and she didn't know what to do. In the past, whenever this happened, she would go to her free psychiatrist for a solution. So, she used her lunch break to knock directly on the door of his office.

Wan Li, a thirty-one-year-old man, a doctor at the psychological clinic on the fourteenth floor, has a tall and shrewd appearance, but has a pair of kind and clear eyes like a deer, which can make people involuntarily trust. And because she helped him win his divorce lawsuit, because they worked in the same building, and because of the warm and safe air on him, they became friends.

"the bed again?" Seeing the distraction of her eyes, he asked.

"Psychiatrists are sometimes annoying, if you know that you won't tell you anything before, can't you pretend that you don't know anything?"

"Looks like I'm right, it's a ghost press." Wanli deliberately teased her, "But it's time to rest, and I'm not your psychiatrist." ”

"You have a face written that you are my friend, a part-time 'free' psychiatrist."

"Oh? What else is written? ”

"It says that Yue Xiaoxia can do whatever he wants."

"In that caseβ€”yes! I invited you to lunch, and there was a ramen shop on the corner of the street downstairs, which was cheap and authentic. Let's go! ”

He understands her, and in fact his job is to understand the psychology of others. As for Xiao Xia, he has an extra layer of affection among friends in addition to his understanding. He knew that she was easy to relax in a crowded place, which would restore her lively nature to a large extent and help her psychological adjustment. She's been under too much pressure lately, especially after taking over the city-wide bloodbath. He wanted to help her.

"What do you think I'm going to do? Recently, I've been severely sleep-deprived and wrinkled. They sat down in a corner of the noisy ramen restaurant and chatted while eating.

"Don't worry too much, according to statistics, about 40% of people have sleep disorders, and the 'ghost press' in the saying is just one of them." Wanli comforts Xiao Xia. In fact, he had some irrational suspicions about her condition, but he didn't want to frighten her until it was confirmed.

"Is that going to check your heart?" Natsu was so spicy by the ramen that she burst into tears.

"According to scientific explanations, the ghost bed press phenomenon is a blood circulation problem caused by poor sleeping posture. And it's a good habit to check your body regularly, but - aren't you bothering him again? ”

"yes." Xiao Xia nodded, "I didn't mean to, it's just that whenever I am in a critical moment, I will rush out that Buddha name." ”

"So I said earlier, your courage is very small, and the eight characters are light, and it is easy to bump into the evil, but you are very brave after being forced to be anxious, and you have a fate with the King of the Earth Bodhisattva, and you will always turn evil into good fortune and be auspicious." Wanli smiled easily, not wanting to convey any bad psychological hints to Xiao Xia. In fact, he was very worried, according to his previous experience, Xiao Xia would have some dangerous things after frequent nightmares such as ghost pressing, although she herself was unaware, but every time it seemed that something had finally resolved it for her. But will the situation be resolved as safely as ever this time? Does this have anything to do with that case?

"What do you say? You are a socialist medical worker, not a feng shui gentleman who asks the gods for divination. Comrade, pay attention to the position! ”

"More than 80 percent of the world's greatest scientists believe in the existence of God, which shows that scientific inquiry has nothing to do with spiritual beliefs. I personally like logical things, but I am not averse to irrational phenomena. ”

"That's a good speech, but do you really believe in ghosts?" Xiao Xia asked calmly, not worried that someone in the noisy crowd would notice this corner.

"Ghosts? Does this have anything to do with your case? Wanli frowned, "Or are you guessing?" ”

Xiao Xia hesitated.

"I shouldn't have revealed the facts of the case to irrelevant people, but you are my psychiatrist, so it shouldn't matter." She made excuses for herself, and then told Wanli what happened yesterday and how she felt.

"Since you don't like to take on this case so much, why force yourself. It's not fair to you and your client, so why not find someone else? "Wanli suggests. He believed what Xiao Xia said, but he also knew that she was quite sensitive, so he couldn't rule out her inaccurate judgment, so the best way was to find someone with strong nerves to handle this bloody case. He believes that it will not be difficult, after all, the case is too sensational, although there is no economic benefit, but the reputation benefit is great. In fact, he had overheard other people at the Sky Law Firm talking about the case. Those people think that handling this case is not a bad thing at all, because no matter whether you win or lose, you will have a high exposure rate, and the director is too partial to this 'imbecile' oil bottle to give this case to Xiao Xia.

"I wanted to talk to the director about it this morning, but he was on a business trip. I'm so unlucky! And it's hard to open my mouth like this, I feel very disappointed by Mr. Pan, don't I know that he wants to cultivate me carefully? I'm so ignorant of lifting! Xiao Xia held the bowl and drank the soup very unvividly, "I just talked to you because of the contradiction in my heart, otherwise I would have told the director now, and I would have felt that I had made a mistake again - the choice itself is regrettable." ”

"It's a common psychological phenomenon to always feel that you might be better off choosing another one, and you don't have to blame yourself."

"So what should I do? Stick with it or give up before it's too late? ”

"It's not a question of giving up and persevering, it's about whether you want to keep doing it. If you force yourself, you will do even worse. It's not like your director won't come backβ€”" Wanli said completely from the standpoint of a friend.

"But the court is about to begin!" Xiao Xia said, "Actually, I am inclined to give up. It's unproductive, isn't it? But I'm really scared of the next meeting. And I can't do nothing, this is irresponsible to Li Jingming and unconscionable to the director. ”

Wanli patted Natsu's hand comfortingly. "Why do you want to meet?"

"Because he didn't actually say anything that day, how can I defend myself? I had to listen to his description of that incident and wonder what kind of legal remedies he wanted! Actually, I think that after entering the proceedings, he should apply for a re-evaluation of his mental problems. ”

"I've read in the newspapers that he's said he has psychological problems, but not to the level of mental illness. Maybe his performance yesterday was just a disguise and wanted you to save him and let him escape punishment? ”

Xiao Xia shook her head without hesitation.

Yesterday her feelings were too deep to rule out all pretenses. She rolled up the sleeve that covered her wrist, revealing the striking bruise on Bai Xi's wrist, "Look, he caught it yesterday." With his physical strength, unless he has evil energy, I will be hurt so badly? Besides, as long as he is still a human, a normal person, how can he be so cruel? And also to their own family? ”

"The human heart is the most complex and incomprehensible thing in the world." Wan Li stroked the scars on Xiao Xia's wrists, and felt that their director's exercise method for Xiao Xia was a bit like killing chickens and taking eggs. "If the heart is sick, it is more troublesome than anything else."

"So from your expert's point of view, what is the probability that he is disguised or really mentally ill?"

"I'm just a psychiatrist! Only general mental illness can be addressed. However, medically speaking, mental illness is not the same as mental illness. When we talk about 'mental illness', we mean 'severe mental illness', which is a 'severe' mental illness such as schizophrenia or paranoia. Forensic psychiatric evaluation is a specialized discipline, and the clinical manifestations are particularly complex, do you think it is an individual? ”

"Of course I know it's not anyone, I just want to know how I can prove if he's sick or not!"

"It's complicated and difficult. For example, through conversations, we will observe his volitional behavior, cognitive activities, emotional activities, and even physical functions, find out whether he has a medical history or family heredity, and make a comprehensive evaluation of his written words and various performances during his detention, so as to finally draw a relatively correct conclusion. There is also a condition known medically as 'intention control disorder', in which he has the ability to recognize but loses control of his behavior, which is the 'impulsive behavior' in major mania and schizophrenia. In this case, it is even more prudent to meet the relevant medical standards. ”

"Really? I'm going to have to take a closer look. ”

"Hey, aren't you going to quit?" I had to remind this forgetful person.

"It's to quit. However, I can't do nothing until the director returns, at least I have to lay a good foundation for the person who takes over. ”

"I didn't think you were so kind."

"It's not a question of kindness or not. I still have to eat mixed rice in the 'long sky', how can I be a man without my tail between my legs. Xiao Xia replied, but immediately thought about the case again, "In addition to his excesses in the early days of his imprisonment, he almost acquiesced to his crimes. He was a highly educated man and would not be unaware of the consequences, but he had no excuse. But why did you suddenly get so excited yesterday? Still yelling at me to help him? It doesn't make sense! Unless he's really sick, or reallyβ€”there's a ghost. ”

When Xiao Xia said the last word, she unconsciously shivered. Wanli saw her strangeness and reached out to pat her forehead, letting her come out of the memory.

She is too receptive to psychological suggestion, which is her biggest psychological weakness.

She was still skeptical of ghosts and gods, but he himself had a different experience, and knew that there were nothing strange in this world, and there were idealistic things that science could not explain, so in order to protect her, he had to find a way. He knew it wasn't something he could solve, but he could find someone to fix it. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind.

Only that person can help Natsu!

Although he is a little sorry for his friendship for many years, he can't let Xiao Xia fall deeper and deeper into this whirlpool and ignore it. He lowered his head and wrote down on a piece of paper who he decided to ask for help, and handed it to Natsu.

"What is this? Ruan Zhan - Night Returning Bar - Address - " Xiao Xia raised his head suspiciously, "Wan Li, what do you mean?" When is this coming, you still want to introduce me to a boyfriend! How is he better than you? I don't want anything worse than you. ”

"Friend, how can I introduce a guy like him who is not easy to deal with to harm you, as long as you are careful not to fall for him."

"Cut!"

"Don't be too busy puffing out of your nostrils!"

"Then what did you introduce him to me for? Does he have a legal dispute for me to help with? First of all, I can help with consulting questions, but if I want to file a lawsuit, I will trouble him to contact the firm. You know, our lawyer discipline rules don't allow you to take on cases privately. ”

"Can't you listen to me?" Wanli is amused by Natsu's irritable temper, but that's one of the reasons he likes her as a person. She is quite different from the so-called elite white-collar workers in this high-end building, and has a strong 'human' flavor.

"He's in no trouble. He opened this bar, and I introduced him to you because I wanted you to go to him. ”

"So he's unusually handsome?"

"That means he can be psychic!"

"Psychic?" Xiao Xia didn't expect him to say this, "Really? Or did I hear it wrong? You're not kidding? ”

"You heard me right, and I'm not kidding." Wanli stopped Xiao Xia from touching his forehead, "I don't have a fever either." Be careful! Your silk scarf fell in the soup bowl. ”

"Then why did you say this suddenly, don't you hate those charlatans the most? I used to watch this type of movie with you, or watch a fortune teller at the temple gate, wasn't it also ridiculed by you? ”

"I laugh because I know what a true Onmyoji is like."

"Really?"

"Really, really!"

"Not lying?"

"I'm in my ex-wife's name β€” okay, okay, I'm vouching for my academic reputation."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"He's very afraid of trouble, I'm afraid you'll pester other people's fortune tellers or something. And--" Wan Li changed his serious expression, "his ability is a secret, if it weren't for the fact that this case is really weird, and you are my friend, I wouldn't have revealed him as a person." If there really is a ghost, ask him for help, although he may not necessarily help - Xiao Xia, can I trust you? ”

"Absolutely." Konatsu assures.

Ruan Zhan? Strange name! Psychic? Strange people!
