Please don't stick to Officer Qi [criminal investigation]

Looking sideways at the window, Qi Lin was terrified by his cold face.

He understands that he can't go on like this anymore, his situation won't get better by itself, it will only get worse.

He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a crumpled card.

Xie Yan's business card with his phone number printed on it.

With no room for extra thought, Qi Lin dialed Xie Yan's number.

Before Qi Lin could speak, Xie Yan said, "Officer Qi, what's the matter so late?"

Qi Lin was a little surprised.Although Xie Yan is a psychiatrist, some things are not so easy to talk about.He thought for a while, and he settled on the simplest question.

"Where are you?"

"In the office. What? What happened that requires me to cooperate with the investigation?"

"No, that's not the reason." Qi Lin thought about his words and reorganized his meaning: "I mean, I think I'm sick, a little serious. I only know that you are a psychiatrist, and I may need your help..."

"I understand. I'm in the office now, come on." Xie Yan's tone was calm, like a deep and dark sea.Sinking, even breathing feels mysterious.

……

It was late at night, and all the staff in the consulting room had left.Qi Lin pushed open the door, only a little light in Xie Yan's office was on.

He followed the light, Xie Yan was squatting on the ground, staring at the cat playing behind the table.

Qi Lin poked his head and looked behind the table. It was a white and yellow three-coloured cat.The cat was lying under the chair, playing with its belly.

"These two cats, aren't they cute?" Xie Yan asked suddenly.

Qi Lin paused for a moment, "How can there be two cats here?"

"These little guys are just two cats." Xie Yan smiled, stood up, tore off a pack of wet paper towels and wiped his hands clean, "Sometimes it's pudding, sometimes it's Zhuangzhuang. What you see is a a cat, and another inside him."

"Freak cat?"

"It's not that there is another one in the body, but another one in the spirit. Pudding is usually clingy, but Zhuang Zhuang always likes to run around by himself." Xie Yan moved to the sofa and sat down, "Isn't this just like you? Officer, there is another you inside you."

After roughly knowing the answer, Qi Lin still wanted to ask, "What do you mean?"

"Multiple Personality, or Dissociative Identity Disorder."

"But I didn't tell you about my symptoms."

"It can be seen, just make sure now." Xie Yan took out his notebook, "Please recall Officer Qi carefully, has there been a situation where you suddenly couldn't hear the surrounding sound before? Or was it suddenly not heard?" control yourself?"

Qi Lin hesitated.He did have what Xie Yan said, but...

"Very well, Officer Qi, you have these conditions." Xie Yan stared into Qi Lin's eyes, "Your eyes tell me that you have, but the person in your heart doesn't want you to reveal his existence to others, so, You have these unreasonable hesitation."

What he said made sense, but Qi Lin still didn't think he was schizophrenic.

"If you don't believe me, we can do a test." Xie Yan's eyes turned around Qi Lin's face, and he took Qi Lin to the next door to do a series of tests, such as differences in skin resistance and eye movement differences. .

He handed the test report in his hand to Qi Lin, "The number of personalities is one, which is special and magical. But it is undeniable that you have a sub-personality."

Qi Lin looked at the report in his hand and frowned, "My behavior is not exaggerated, is it?"

"The act of splitting the personality itself is not exaggerated. It's just exaggerated in the artwork - in fact, the transformation is instantaneous."

"But I also checked before entering the police station, and there was no problem at that time."

"Dissociative identity disorder has a long incubation period. It can be seen for more than ten years, and it is also common for seven or eight years." Xie Yan circled around behind the chair and pressed Qi Lin's shoulders with both hands, "Officer Qi, Take it easy, you have to trust me so I can help you."

Qi Lin was very resistant to being pressed on his shoulders.Hearing what Xie Yan said, he felt unhappy, and had no choice but to give up if he wanted to break free.

"Tell me." He sat relaxed on the chair, thinking about the worst.

"Officer Qi, did you have the shadow of being abused when you were a child? Parents, or brothers? Generally speaking, multiple personalities are mostly produced in childhood, and their purpose is to escape the current reality."

Qi Lin thought about it.His father opened a medical equipment factory in Jiangcheng, and the business was good. His mother was a guzheng teacher and had many students.Although his father left him forever because of an accident, his mother had to raise Qi Lin in chaos.But the mother is a very capable woman, even if she is a single parent, she still gives Qi Lin enough love.

If these are not, then it is only what happened in Jiangcheng back then.

Qi Lin sorted out his complicated thoughts and asked: "If it happened four years ago, would it be possible to stimulate the appearance of another self?"

Thank you for the affirmative answer.

"It's not common, but the possibility cannot be ruled out. In fact, the spirit is very magical, and you may have various changes at any time."

"Okay, thank you, I probably understand." Qi Lin sat up, "How can I treat this situation?"

"Unfortunately, there is no treatment at present, only drug suppression or psychological counseling." Xie Yan paused, "If you just found this symptom and it didn't interfere with your normal life, you don't need treatment. You just need to control your emotions and keep your emotions under control. It is enough for one's own sub-personality to appear. But if the sub-personality has begun to damage the integrity of the main personality, or affects other people, drug suppression is required."

"The sub-personality..." Qi Lin had a vague premonition, "Will the sub-personality be very different from the main personality?"

"Generally speaking, this is the case. The main personality is gentle, considerate and law-abiding, while the sub-personality often has a rebellious element in it."

Xie Yan's words made Qi Lin feel like he was pointing something.Qi Lin recalled the unusual bits and pieces of his life, and recalled the scene where he met another self before, it seemed that this was the case.

The other Qi Lin would impulsively kill Mo Dongyi on the spot, and would rush into the air-raid shelter regardless of safety. He was indeed more rebellious than this Qi Lin.

If this one Qi Lin represents order, then what that Qi Lin longs for is chaos.

The more I think about it, the more afraid I become.Qi Lin looked at Xie Yan, and finally mustered up the courage to ask the question that was lingering in his mind but dared not ask.

"Is it possible for the sub-personality to kill when it dominates the body?"

Xie Yan, who was asked this question, suddenly expressed a little surprise.He opened his mouth exaggeratedly, as if he was overwhelmed by this question, then raised his eyes with his hand, and said seriously, Qi Lin:

"Have."
