trial room

"Tell me," Casey pulled the chair across from Flint and sat down, "Why did you kill Ike?"

Flint sat on the seat with a pale face, but he was still firm in his words: "I didn't kill anyone."

Kathy put the photos of Stephanie and Shariel in front of him one by one: "Do you think they look familiar?"

Flint picked up the photo and looked at it: "I think it looks familiar...but I don't remember who they are."

"Haven't you told enough lies?" Casey said coldly, "Then please explain to me why the three of you have the same DNA?"

"What?!" Flint looked even more surprised than Casey when he knew the DNA result: "This is impossible!"

"DNA doesn't lie," Dino pushed open the door. "This is definitive evidence, so why don't you just tell us the truth? If there is something else hidden, we will plead with the prosecutor for you."

Casey slowed down and said: "Maybe you are with Ike. He thinks you are a beautiful woman, but he can't accept that you are a man. You have a quarrel, and he proposes to break up. If you can't accept it, you kill him." , after he's dead, you stabbed him—"

"No, it's impossible," Flint covered his head and buried his face in his arms, "it's not like that."

"Or," Dino said, following on from Casey, trying to provoke Flint into confessing, "was he the one who did it to you first? You were just trying to resist?"

"I said it has nothing to do with me!" Flint slammed the table violently, his head was still down for a second, and the police officers couldn't see his face clearly, and he raised his head instantly in the next second, Ning Yuan, who was standing outside the one-way glass, was keenly aware of the change in his body posture before he spoke.

Flint put his left arm on the table, but his right hand supported his chin in a feminine way. He looked around, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. Ning Yuan looked down and saw him on the table. The lower legs are stacked in a feminine way.

Immediately, Ning Yuan had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, Flint looked at Casey and Dino blankly: "Who are you? Where am I now?"

Casey and Dino left the interrogation room and closed the door. Dino saw Ning Yuan and pointed to Flint who was looking around in a daze: "Doctor, what's going on?"

Ning Yuan shrugged: "It may be 'dissociative identity disorder' [Note] I'm not sure."

Dino: "..."

Casey: "..."

Dino said calmly, "Please speak English."

Shen Lie held back his laughter, finally it was no longer the time for him to be confused by these psychological terms alone.

Ning Yuan scratched his face: "It's commonly known as split personality, including dissociative amnesia, dissociative roaming, depersonalization, and dissociative identity disorder—"

Shen Lie raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Skip all of these, let's get straight to the main point."

"Okay," Ning Yuan felt sorry for losing an opportunity to spread knowledge, alas, "it refers to a person who has multiple personalities that can be transformed consciously or unconsciously, but each personality is sound and complete, and each child Each personality has its own unique memories, behaviors, thoughts, and emotions, and these sub-personalities alternate and repeatedly control the patient's behavior."

"So," Kathy mused, "you mean Flint has this dissociative line or something, and one of his sub-personalities killed Ike and he didn't know anything?"

"It's possible," Ning Yuan said, "the sub-personality is produced when the main personality is greatly stimulated. Their purpose is to protect the main personality, or try to release the thoughts and thinking that the main personality has been buried. You don’t necessarily know it, which is why so many patients don’t realize they have dissociative identity disorder.”

Casey noticed that Ning Yuan emphasized the words "dissociative identity disorder", which was very innocent.

It's really a mouthful, okay?

Shen Lie noticed something else: "Why do you say you are not sure?"

Ning Yuan shifted his gaze to Flint, who had already started to stand up and walk around, but his movements and demeanor from time to time undoubtedly showed that he was a "she".

"Until I talk to him in person, I can't be sure about anything." Ning Yuan said softly, with a very weird feeling in his heart, but he still couldn't say why.

"I want to know, why did you arrest me and bring me to the police station?" Flint stared at Ning Yuan angrily, "What did I do?"

Ning Yuan is the only one in the interrogation room now. The police officers and Shen Lie are all behind the one-sided glass. He smiled at him gently: "You will know later, you can call me Dr. Ning."

Flint became alert: "Doctor? Why should I talk to a doctor?"

"Relax, it's okay," Ning Yuan comforted him, "Why don't you introduce yourself to me?"

Flint stared at him for half a minute before saying, "My name is Stephanie."

Outside the room, the three exchanged glances, and Casey touched his chin: "The personality that seems to be our suspect appeared."

"Okay Stephanie," Ning Yuan considered the words: "Do you feel that something strange happened to you? For example, you often appear in some other place inexplicably? You often lose your memory for a period of time?"

"Oh I see," Flint, or rather Stephanie, leaned back and crossed her arms, "so it's about the rest of my 'me' right Doctor?"

Ning Yuan was slightly surprised: "You always knew?"

"Of course." Stephanie raised the left corner of her mouth, "We get along very well with Flint."

"So he also knows about your existence?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Wrong." Unexpectedly, Stephanie shook her head, "He didn't know that we shared the same body, but we never let him know of our existence, and we would go back to before we appeared before we fell asleep Where he stays, we don't let our friends disturb him, that's the only way to keep a peaceful life."

Ning Yuan grasped the point: "Us?"

"Yes," Stephanie said, "there is another personality, also a woman, named Shariel, very strong."

Outside the glass, Shen Lie snorted and laughed: "It's getting more and more interesting."

In the room, Ning Yuan was still guiding Stephanie step by step: "So you and Shariel are hiding from Flint? You and Shariel have a good relationship?"

"Wrong again," Stephanie said, "We never communicate with each other. We are all independent personalities, and we don't need to be attached to anyone,"

Ning Yuan looked at Stephanie secretly, and confirmed: "So you, Flint, and Shariel all have their own lives, and the circles never overlap?"

"Yes, don't you think this is the most convenient and safest way?" Stephanie asked back.

Ning Yuan no longer entangled in this topic, but turned over the photos of the police officers on the desktop: "Then do you know Ike Levi?"

Stephanie picked up the photo, with a sneer on her lips: "Of course I do," she threw the photo away after speaking, "I killed him."

[Note] Dissociative identity disorder: also known as "dissociative disorder", including "dissociative amnesia, dissociative wandering disorder, multiple personality disorders, and loss of sense of self" and so on.Dissociative disorder refers to a breakdown in the functioning of memory, self-awareness, or cognition.The cause is usually extreme stress or deep trauma.

Simply put, dissociative amnesia is the phenomenon of incoherent memory and temporary amnesia.Multiple personalities are incoherent personalities, unlike ordinary people who can usually express a complete personality across situations and time.

Therefore, what we generally call split personality belongs to dissociative disorder, not a mental illness but a mental disorder.If there are babies who don’t understand, welcome to discuss together~
