The nurse untied Xie Qi's restraints one by one behind him.

It took a minute for Xie Qi to regain his freedom after the muzzle and belt. The door behind him was closed by the nurses who left.

"Hello, doctor."

Xie Qi faced the man who had been observing him from just now, looked around casually, and then sat down opposite Edward.

"Good morning, what do you want me to call you? Mr. Vitya Ivanovich Ivanov?"

"Ivan is fine."

Xie Qi adjusted his body into a comfortable position and then looked at the doctor.

The man in front of him did not wear a white coat like a doctor, but a straight and fitting suit. It can be seen that he has maintained a very good figure. His brown hair is neatly combed behind his head. He seems to care more about his appearance.

"Okay, Mr. Ivan, my name is Edward Winston, and I'm the psychologist assigned to you by the smart brain. But having said that, I don't think you need to receive counseling. But since you're here, let's talk briefly for a few minutes. What do you think?"

Edward said in a relaxed tone with a hint of sarcasm, with a smile in his blue eyes. He didn't act like a doctor, but like a friend.

"Sure, I want to talk to you too."

Xie Qi nodded, and his eyes fell on Edward's cuffs for a second.

"Then let's start with a light topic. I heard that you've been here for almost a month. How do you feel? Are you okay here? To be honest, I just come here occasionally, and I feel bad."

Edward complained with a smile, and it seemed that he wanted to find some common ground with Xie Qi.

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

"Well, maybe I feel that this place is too depressing? You need to pass through many doors to get in. I don't like this atmosphere."

After Edward answered, he asked again: "What about you? Are you able to adapt to the environment and diet here?"

"Not bad, thank you for your concern."

The two seemed to be having a good time, while Dean Sharp, who was watching in the room next to him, seemed a little dissatisfied with Dr. Winston's attitude.

"Don't worry, Dean. What Dr. Winston said just now was just a test. You should give him some time."

Head Nurse Ceci stood beside the Dean and spoke for Edward.

Sharp nodded and continued to watch the two people opposite who had already started the next consultation.

"Can you tell me about your family?"

Edward felt that the atmosphere was not bad now, and he was ready to go further. When people mentioned their families, they would show a relaxed attitude. Whether it was good or bad, it would help him understand the person.

"Family?"

Xie Qi tilted his head and crossed his hands on his knees.

Edward remembered the psychological state expressed by his body movements, but there was no hint on his face.

"Yes, you have been missing for so long, your family will be worried about your safety, right?"

"Dean, this patient has never mentioned his origins during his hospitalization, and Dr. Winston has made progress as soon as he came."

Hearing the head nurse's words, Dean Sharp's face also relaxed, thinking that this psychologist is still useful.

"My father is Russian, my mother is Chinese, and our family came to the United States a long time ago."

Xie Qi had a smile on his face, as if he was recalling something.

It is a good sign that the patient is willing to talk about himself.

Edward listened attentively, and then Xie Qi's next words broke the psychological estimate set in advance.

"After my father killed the third person, my mother should not be able to accept that her husband is a murderer, but she dared not leave him, so she was addicted to drugs all day long. In order to make a living, I have been working everywhere to support them after school. Now I think about it, it was also an unforgettable time."

Xie Qi's tone was light, and he talked about his terrible family without a trace of disgust and dissatisfaction.

Edward was silent, and his brows were unconsciously frowned.

"My father's method of killing people and disposing of bodies was very crude, but the police in the United States could not catch him. So when he came to school to find me and took a fancy to one of my classmates, I reported him to the police."

Edward felt relieved. It seemed that the patient's character was still good. He didn't do this before, maybe because he was a father and couldn't make up his mind.

Xie Qi leaned forward and observed the man's expression.

"Doctor, are you thinking that my character is not bad?"

Edward raised his eyebrows, and Xie Qi smiled and leaned back in his chair.

"Then you guessed wrong. I don't care who he wants to kill, but if the target is my classmate, it will easily affect my life in school.At that time, I was quite satisfied with my daily life and didn't want him to break it all. "

Edward re-evaluated Xie Qi in his heart, and his thoughts went up and down with his story.

"After my father was arrested, my mother took her anger out on me. At the same time, I don't know who leaked the news to my classmates. I couldn't stay at home or at school, so I had to drop out of school to work."

"Then I met a person through some channels. He introduced me to a noble family in Country Y, who was responsible for their family's meals. Due to some special reasons, this family moved to a small island in the Pacific Ocean, and I followed them to cook for them."

As Edward listened, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did he feel that the style of the painting had changed a little?

"After that, because there was not enough food on the island, we had a hard time, but fortunately, people often died at sea and drifted there, which solved our food crisis. "

Sharp in another room frowned, and the head nurse's expression beside him changed from sympathy to horror.

And Xie Qi still looked the same, with an elegant posture as if he was in some upper-class place, not in a treatment room in a mental hospital.

"After that, because we couldn't reach an agreement on the remuneration, I said goodbye to this family, returned to the United States to open a casino, and then fell into the sea during a sea parade, and came here when I woke up."

Edward leaned back when Xie Qi talked about the island, his eyes still staring at Xie Qi, but his body movements showed that he didn't believe what Xie Qi said.

After Xie Qi finished speaking, he slowly said: "I think we have reached a tacit understanding and know that this treatment requires cooperation from both sides to end."

"Oh? Doctor, do you think I'm lying?"

"Maybe, maybe not, it depends on whether you know what you are talking about. "

After Edward finished speaking, he stood up with the help of the handrail, "I think this conversation can end here, let's continue this topic when we meet next time."

Xie Qi kept looking at him with a smile until Edward was about to open the door and leave, then he suddenly said:

"The doctor seems to love to laugh, so keep laughing, after all, only a smile can bring joy to the world."
