Chapter 300: Time-traveler

After several interrogations, Wang Sunxu did not reveal any clues . Lin Qiupu was very helpless . After the case was officially closed, he was transferred to the detention center to wait for the legal process .

Chen Shi put forward a bold idea to let Wang Sunxu out and then follow him . Wang Sunxu would most likely contact Zhou Xiao .

Lin Qiupu considered it for a few seconds, but he still said no . “This is not something the police should do!”

On May 1st,[1] the police still didn’t take a break . Recently, a robbery in a gold store had occurred . There were no casualties, but because the amount involved was too large and the gangsters held guns, the case was turned over to them .

Everyone worked overtime and made mild complaints . If Chen Shi could help with this case, then they would probably be able to rest on May 1st, but Chen Shi had no interest in the robbery .

Speaking of the devil, Chen Shi came rushing in and greeted the oncoming policeman . The policeman asked him, “Brother Chen, do you have to work overtime as well today?”

“Why would I work overtime without getting paid? I'll take a rest day today and go find Old Peng to play . ”

“Captain Peng is in the conference room!”

When he arrived at the meeting room, Peng Sijue was just walking out . Chen Shi said, “You need to go somewhere with me . It’s very important . ”

“Today I…”

“You don't have work today . I read the holiday work schedule . You came to work overtime yourself . ”

“I mean, I have stuff to do today . ”

“Workaholic! Let's go!”

Peng Sijue was dragged away by Chen Shi . As he got into the car, he complained, “If you don't say where we’re going, don't expect me to cooperate . ”

“You can jump out of the car if you dare . ”

Looking out the window, Peng Sijue said, “That sentence was just a rational protest . ”

“Relax, it’s definitely a good place . I can guarantee that you will be very comfortable today . . . From body to mind, all aspects will be comfortable!”

Peng Sijue sighed and guessed that it wouldn’t be a serious place . Last time Chen Shi pulled him to play, it made him feel cheated . In truth, he felt that he might have some psychological problems as well, but he believed that this was all under his realm of control . Others needn’t be overly concerned by this .

Work was a sacred thing for Peng Sijue . Many people make sacrifices for work, either physically or mentally, and it wasn’t a big deal .

When the car stopped in front of a psychological consultation clinic called “Tianchuan”, Peng Sijue narrowed his eyes at Chen Shi . He immediately pushed the door open and got out of the car to leave . Chen Shi came around from the other side and pushed his shoulder . “Don’t resist so much, okay? I’ve already made an appointment . Give me some face, okay?”

“I'm not sick! There’s no need to come here!”

“Don't be like this . You’re making it seem like I’m sending you to a mental asylum . ”

Peng Sijue could only stare at him helplessly . Since he didn’t exercise much and wasn’t as strong as Chen Shi, he could only let Chen Shi push him into the building .

When he got on the elevator, Peng Sijue knew that struggling was futile, so he adjusted his collar and said, “Please be more respectful . I can go by myself . ”

Chen Shi smiled and looked at him . “You’re an adult now . If you have a psychological problem, you should know to come and check it out . ”

Peng Sijue said rebelliously, “I can accept psychological counseling, but not because I have a psychological problem . I want to prove that I am psychologically okay, and then you have to apologize for wasting my time . ”

“I can do anything!”

This clinic was run by Gu You . After entering, Chen Shi and Gu You greeted each other . Gu You asked Peng Sijue to enter a counseling room and arranged a senior counselor for him .

During the consultation, Chen Shi was walking around . He thought Peng Sijue would show resistance, but he didn't expect it to be so quiet inside .

He curiously stuck his ear to the door and wanted to hear what was being said, but Gu You came over . “Mr . Chen, the content of the consultation must be kept confidential . Leave some space for your friend!”

Chen Shi smiled awkwardly .

“Let's go to the lounge for some coffee?” Gu You suggested .

“Can I smoke?”

“You can . ”

In the lounge, Gu You brought coffee and sat down in front of Chen Shi . “It seems you care about your friend a lot . ”

“Looking at his immense work pressure causing him depression, it's a little . . . Worrying . ”

“That's an expression of concern . . . Is he a very important person?”

Chen Shi didn't know how to answer . He simply switched the subject, “Do you know about hypnosis?”

“Yes . ”

“If, and I mean if… If a person whose committed a crime is reluctant to say anything, would he talk through hypnosis?”

“First of all, the success of hypnosis is mainly based on the subject of hypnosis . If the subject is very resistant, it will be difficult to succeed . Second, the direction of hypnosis is led by someone and the testimony obtained through hypnosis has no legal effect . ”

“It's not to get a testimony . It's just to get some intelligence . . . it seems impossible!”

“Do you think I can hypnotize you?” Gu You asked with a smile .

Chen Shi thought for a few seconds . If he was lying on a hypnosis chair, he shouldn’t be able to open his heart . He said, “I'm afraid you can't . I'm not the type who is easily influenced . ”

“What you were talking about was ‘if’ . If you think it would be hard for you, then it would only be harder to hypnotize another person . It definitely won't be easier than you . . . Why are you asking about this suddenly?”

After thinking about it, Chen Shi pulled out his credentials and said, “We’ve been neighbors for so long, but I haven't told you yet . I help the police solve cases . ”

“Oh, Tao Yueyue actually told me already . ”

“Really? This kid spills everything! You two have been on good terms recently!”

“Maybe because our temperaments are similar . The child is very smart and has experienced some painful things . From this point, we have something in common . ”

Chen Shi did not follow up, mainly because he and Gu You were not too familiar with each other . Instead, he praised the coffee as good .

At this moment a man rushed out of a consulting room and shouted, “None of you believe me! No one wants to believe me! Liars! All liars!”

Looking at the man's outfit, Chen Shi was startled for a moment . The man was actually wearing a cyan robe with large sleeves, like a man from ancient times . Of course, the hairstyle was still like that of modern people – A short, flat cut .

Later, a female psychologist came out and said, “Mr . Li, Mr . Li, calm down . I did not deny your opinion!”

The man actually covered his face and wept . “I know you think I’m crazy, but I'm not crazy at all . It's the world who doesn't want to accept me . I, your majesty, crossed over to this time period from thousands of years ago . Everyone doesn't like me . I miss you, my father, the king!”

Chen Shi opened his mouth wide and pointed at the man in ancient dress . “Your clinic also accepts such patients? Your market is wide enough!”

“This man?” Gu You lowered her voice . “We all suspect that he has schizophrenia and delusional disorder . He has always said that he is a traveler and has come to consultations three times . If he can pay, he’s a customer . We also don’t have a reason to cast him out . I personally disagree with sending him to a psychiatric hospital, which I think is a violation of human rights . ”

Chen Shi heard that there are three levels of psychological problems . Psychological problems, mental illness, and psychosis . He said, “Counseling alone can cure his delusions?”

Gu You shook her head with a smile . “The consultant is just helping him rebuild his cognition, but he has not succeeded yet . ”

“I think he can smash his delusions cognitively . For example, if he took out WeChat to pay . This is not the knowledge possessed by the ancients, so in that way, we can pry away his delusions . ”

“No, he doesn't have a cell phone, ID card, or money . ”

“Then how does he pay for the consultation?”

“A gold ingot!”

1 . Chinese Labor Day; A public holiday . People usually get a week off of work from May 1st onwards . China doesn’t have that many public holidays .
