The Genius Female Forensic Pathologist, The Psychological Anatomist

Chapter 44

Lin Qianjie caught up with Shen Xiyin in the parking lot. "Dr. Shen, please wait a moment."

Shen Xiyin saw him and a look of disgust flashed across her face, but she quickly put on a professional smile. "Is there something I can help you with?"

"Dr. Shen, I think I have some psychological issues. I often feel empty inside. Do you have time to talk with me?" Lin Qianjie placed his hand on his heart, feigning a sad and vulnerable expression.

"I have time right now," Shen Xiyin raised an eyebrow, her gaze suddenly turning cold. "You like to choose women with weak personalities because you think they're easier to control. This is because you've been oppressed for a long time, and can only gain a sense of control by oppressing those weaker than you."

Lin Qianjie was taken aback. Shen Xiyin looked so gentle, and her voice was pleasant, but her words were like knives, cruelly stabbing into his heart.

"I'm not like what you're saying, Dr. Shen. You don't know me well enough. Why don't you give me your contact information so we can get to know each other better sometime?" Lin Qianjie said shamelessly.

"I wasn't entirely accurate before. Even when you choose the most vulnerable girls, you still lack the confidence to control them, so you prefer forceful methods. I even suspect that your sexual performance is lacking, and you attempt to use rape as a way to prevent those girls from noticing your inadequacies. Have you ever received positive feedback from a girl regarding your sexual performance?"

"Shut up! You're not a real psychologist, you're just a fraud!" Lin Qianjie exploded, his veins popping out in anger.

Shen Xiyin raised an eyebrow and said, "Your sexual dysfunction is likely caused by psychological factors. You do indeed need to see a psychologist. However, I don't specialize in that kind of treatment. Would you like me to recommend a doctor?"

Lin Qianjie instinctively wanted to argue, but he controlled his expression and instead said sleazily, "Why don't you find out for yourself how good I am?"

"Are you sure?" Shen Xiyin looked at Lin Qianjie as if he were trash, her beautiful eyes intensely intimidating. "I'm not like those weak girls. I enjoy turning people into my playthings. Are you sure you want to play with me?"

"You... aren't you a psychologist? Why are you so perverted?"

"Are you scared already? I'm a psychologist, which is why I'm so good at controlling others. Once you become my toy, you'll understand what true perversion is. Want to try?" Shen Xiyin stared at him. "I'm very interested in you right now."

Lin Qianjie backed away a few steps in fear. Shen Xiyin's expression reminded him of his stepmother, that hateful and terrifying woman.

His original evil intentions towards Shen Xiyin had completely vanished. This kind of woman was definitely not someone he could handle!

"Sister." Mu Mian saw that Shen Xiyin was being bothered by Lin Qianjie and quickly called out to her.

Hearing Mu Mian's voice from behind, Shen Xiyin swiftly switched back to her gentle expression. Lin Qianjie was startled by how quickly she changed her demeanor.

"Mr. Lin, consider this psychological consultation free of charge. Next time you come to me for a consultation, I'll have to charge you." Shen Xiyin suddenly lowered her voice to a whisper, "Of course, you can be my toy for free!"

"What rotten luck to run into someone like you today!" Lin Qianjie glared at Shen Xiyin before quickly getting into his car.

Shen Xiyin saw Mu Mian standing with Fang Rui. She was a bit surprised - wasn't Mu Mian a forensic pathologist? Why was she at the courthouse?

If that was the case, had Mu Mian already met that woman? She had been careless; she should have taken Mu Mian to see her mother directly. At least then she could have controlled the situation and minimized the hurt Mu Mian might experience.

"Sister, Lin Qianjie is a bad person. You'd better stay away from him," Mu Mian warned in a low voice.

Shen Xiyin smiled at her, "Don't worry, he probably won't show up in front of me again. I'm a psychologist, after all. I've seen all kinds of disturbed patients. Someone like him is easy for me to handle."

Mu Mian turned to Fang Rui and said, "Yes, my sister is a very capable psychologist."

Fang Rui addressed Shen Xiyin, "Dr. Shen, Lu Tian's mental state isn't good. Please pay extra attention to her condition."

"I've already increased Lu Tian's medication dosage. If she takes her medicine on time, she should be able to control her emotions," Shen Xiyin sighed and continued, "More than Lu Tian, I'm worried about Prosecutor Nie. She hasn't fully recovered from her previous psychological trauma, and now she's suffered a new one. Moreover, she's very resistant to psychological treatment. Her situation could be quite serious."

Shen Xiyin had previously suggested that Nie Yan undergo psychological treatment. Her emotional state wasn't much better than Lu Tian's. But Nie Yan had refused.

Fang Rui asked, "What should we do then?"

"For the next few days, have her family pay close attention to her, to prevent her from hurting others or herself. People always need an outlet for their emotions."

Nie Yan's parents wouldn't arrive until tomorrow. Fang Rui had originally planned to have Li Lanlan closely protect Nie Yan and Lu Tian, but Chen Xue volunteered to go to Nie Yan's house to both monitor and protect Nie Yan and Lu Tian.

She also invited Mu Mian along, with a very sound reason: Mu Mian had good medical skills, so if they attempted suicide, she could provide immediate first aid.

Chen Xue was a naturally friendly person, and it didn't take long for her to become quite familiar with Lu Tian and Nie Yan. She was great at livening up the atmosphere. She had bought a lot of groceries and prepared a hot pot.

Nie Yan and Lu Tian were infected by her mood, and the group gathered around the table for hot pot.

Mu Mian just stared at the hot pot on the table, sinking into a depressed state.

There wasn't a single dish on the table that she liked. And why were they eating hot pot in the middle of summer?

"Dr. Mu, why aren't you eating?" Nie Yan used the serving chopsticks to place a piece of meat in Mu Mian's bowl. "It's delicious, try it."

Mu Mian looked at the unidentifiable piece of meat with a disgusted expression. She didn't want to eat this questionable product.

Chen Xue didn't coddle Mu Mian. She dipped the meat in sesame sauce and stuffed it into Mu Mian's mouth. "Mian Mian, chew it."

Mu Mian chewed, and it was quite tasty. She picked up some more meat and started eating quietly.

"Mian Mian, you need to be brave and try new things!"

So Mu Mian bravely ate a chili pepper from the hot pot base.

Mu Mian nearly cried from the spiciness!

Indeed, she shouldn't try things so recklessly.

Mu Mian didn't touch her chopsticks again.

Chen Xue had also brought several cases of beer and said to Lu Tian and Nie Yan, "Let's drink until we can't anymore!"

She then whispered to Mu Mian, "Watch me get them drunk. Once they're drunk, they won't be able to overthink things."

"What if you get drunk first?" Mu Mian was a bit worried. If Chen Xue drank herself into a stupor, she wouldn't be able to stop both of them from committing suicide at the same time.

"Impossible! I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

The three of them drank can after can, and Nie Yan started to open up: "I feel so useless. I studied law for so many years, but I can't do anything. I'm just a waste!"

Lu Tian encouraged her, "No, you're just too stupid, always choosing cases that no one else wants to take. You're very brave, you're the best prosecutor, a champion of justice!"

"Yes, I will be the best prosecutor!" Nie Yan felt like crying, but she couldn't shed any tears.

She had watched helplessly as Shen Yuanyuan jumped to her death right in front of her, unable to do anything. Even if she could do it all over again, she still wouldn't win.

If incompetence were a crime, she would be guilty of the worst offense!

Chen Xue joined in the shouting: "I'll be an excellent forensic pathologist in the future too!"

Lu Tian clinked glasses with them: "We may be defeated, but we're still glorious!"

Mu Mian watched this lively atmosphere with confusion. She couldn't quite understand their behavior, but she didn't feel excluded either.

"Dr. Mu, what's your dream?" Nie Yan asked.

Mu Mian opened her mouth to speak, but Chen Xue answered for her: "She wants Fang's corpse. Haha, Mian Mian's brain works differently from ours, her thoughts are always unique."

Mu Mian nodded, "Yes." But she had many dreams.

Nie Yan's expression was a bit startled, but she quickly smiled and said to Mu Mian, "Keep it up, if you work hard enough, you'll soon have the right to dispose of Fang Rui's body."

"Really?"

Nie Yan and Chen Xue exchanged a glance, and both burst out laughing.

"Why are you all laughing?" Mu Mian asked, confused.

"Mu Mian, I wish you happiness!" Nie Yan raised her glass towards Mu Mian.

Mu Mian found her behavior strange. "I've always been happy," she said.

Nie Yan then raised her glass to Chen Xue and Lu Tian: "I wish you both happiness!"

Chen Xue and Lu Tian were already drunk, and they responded with silly grins: "Everyone will be happy!"

Nie Yan had a high alcohol tolerance and had drunk many cans without getting drunk. She opened another can, but Mu Mian tried to stop her, saying, "You shouldn't drink any more. You could get alcohol poisoning."

"This is just beer. There's hardly any alcohol. I could drink a dozen more without any problem."

Mu Mian held onto the beer bottles, refusing to let go.

At that moment, Nie Yan's phone lit up. She glanced at the message, and her expression froze for an instant. Then, smiling, she said, "Alright, I'll stop drinking."
