Chapter 2025

I feel that it is a little troublesome to find Qu Jie, but considering that the psychologist is in the process of treatment, he really shouldn't be disturbed.

Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen beside her, and Gu Chen nodded in agreement: "Just do what she said."

After the words fell, Gu Chen looked at the woman at the front desk again, and asked, "When will Dr. Qu's work end?"

"This..." Seemingly unable to answer this question, the woman at the front desk hesitated for a few seconds before saying:

"To be precise, there is no exact time, it depends on the patient's treatment status."

"Usually the patient goes downstairs to indicate that the treatment is over. At this time, you can go up to find Dr. Qu, but I have to inform you in advance."

"That means Dr. Qu is treating patients upstairs right now?" Gu Chen asked again for confirmation.

The woman at the front desk nodded and said, "That's right, but you are the police, you can go outside and wait."

After thinking about it, the woman at the front desk said again: "How about this, I'll take you there."

"Alright." Seeing the woman at the front desk offering to help, Lu Weiwei readily agreed.

Afterwards, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei followed the woman at the front desk and came to the second floor together.

It can be said that the interior decoration of this old building is also very retro.

From the various promotional photos of Qu Jie in the corridor, it is not difficult to see that this is a doctor of psychology with many international honors.

The location on the second floor is actually not spacious, but there are only two rooms in the entire second floor area.

One of them is the waiting area, and the other is Qu Jie's studio.

When the woman at the front desk opened the door of the waiting area, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei discovered that there were actually two men and a woman sitting inside, who seemed to be here for treatment.

The woman at the front desk first invited the two to sit down, then enthusiastically made tea for them, and then said politely, "Both of you, please wait here for a while."

"If the door to Dr. Qu's room opens, you can try your luck."

"but……"

Halfway through the conversation, the woman at the front desk hesitated to speak.

Gu Chen was very curious, so he asked casually: "But what?"

"But..." The woman at the front desk approached Gu Chen's ear, reminding her in a low voice:

"But Dr. Qu has a bad temper. He doesn't like meeting guests during work, so your presence will definitely make Dr. Qu feel a little disgusted."

"Such a temper?" Hearing what the woman at the front desk said, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that even though she hadn't met Qu Jie yet, she could already feel Qu Jie's rejection.

Gu Chen thought for a while, and then directly asked the woman at the front desk: "By the way, a while ago, did you have a man named Wang Jiayao here?"

"Wang Jiayao?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, the woman at the front desk also frowned slightly, but she quickly realized it and quickly replied:

"Yes, a man named Wang Jiayao came here."

"Then, how is his treatment going?" Gu Chen asked.

The woman at the front desk hesitated for a moment, but shook her head: "This...Only Dr. Qu knows."

"Because I'm only in charge of the front desk reception and some business matters. As for the patient's information, these are highly confidential documents. Usually, Dr. Qu sorts them out by himself, and we are not allowed to touch them."

Shaking her head, the woman at the front desk said helplessly, "So, you'd better ask Dr. Qu yourself about this."

"Okay, thank you." Seeing that the woman at the front desk had provided enough clues for everyone, Gu Chen immediately expressed his gratitude.

After bidding farewell to the woman at the front desk, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei sat on the sofa in the waiting area.

At this moment, the other two men and one woman seemed to be playing with their phones with their heads down, not paying much attention to the two policemen around them.

But Gu Chen felt that the three of them were more like using their mobile phones to cover up their inner embarrassment.

Several people would sneak glances from time to time, but they didn't dare to look directly.

It seems that coming here to see a doctor will obviously make people a little cautious.

You know, this is a psychotherapy studio, and people who come here to see a doctor are more or less mentally ill.

But these people usually don't show it to the outside world.

Therefore, beside the two policemen, there will be some sense of social death.

But Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei didn't mean to disturb, they just sat quietly aside, keeping a sufficient distance from the three of them.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Lu Weiwei also took out her mobile phone from time to time, waiting anxiously.

After 30 minutes passed, the door next door finally showed some signs of loosening.

Soon, there was a burst of communication.

Seeing this, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei immediately stood up.

The other three people who lined up before also wanted to stand up. It can be seen that the two policemen came to handle the case, and the three of them suddenly became a little cautious.

After repeated hesitation, he did not follow in Gu Chen's footsteps.

"Dr. Qu, thank you very much. Through your hypnotherapy, I feel much better instantly, and I don't feel so stressed anymore."

"Haha, Boss Xu, you are too tense, sometimes you have to learn to relax properly."

"What about you, it's better to add a course of treatment to strengthen it." A gentleman wearing glasses was also offering various treatment suggestions to a fat middle-aged man.

The fat man also nodded silently, and said involuntarily: "Okay, I will definitely follow Dr. Qu's request, next time it will be at this time, and I will make an appointment with you in advance."

"Okay, let's go slowly." The gentle man sent the fat middle-aged man away, and then turned around, ready to call the next patient.

But when he saw the two policemen standing opposite him, he frowned and froze on the spot.

"Police...Comrade policeman, what do you want from me?" The gentle man looked puzzled.

Gu Chen hurriedly introduced himself: "Hi, I'm Gu Chen from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Furong Sub-bureau. Excuse me, are you Dr. Qu Jiequ?"

"That's right, I'm Qu Jie." Qu Jie adjusted his glasses and couldn't help but say.

"I'm Lu Weiwei. We came to you today to ask you about someone."

"Who is it?" Qu Jie also asked curiously, feeling as if he was getting into trouble.

"Wang Jiayao, do you still know this person?" Gu Chen said.

"Wang Jiayao?" Qu Jie thought for a few seconds before saying, "So it's him? That's right, he's my patient. Why? Did he commit a crime?"

"He's dead." Gu Chen said.

"Dead...dead?" Hearing this kind of words too, Qu Jie's eyes froze for a moment, as if he was also taken aback by the news.

However, considering that there were still three patients waiting in the waiting area next door, Qu Jie quickly extended his hand to invite:

"Both, why don't you go to my office?"

"Okay." Gu Chen just wanted to find a quiet place to have a good conversation with Qu Jie.

After being invited into the office, Qu Jie walked to the next door, roughly explained to the three patients, and asked them to wait for a while.

Then he turned back to his office, closed the door casually, and then stretched out his hand and said:

"Please sit down, both of you."

"En." Gu Chen nodded slightly, instead of sitting down, he quickly observed Qu Jie's office layout.

It can be said that Qu Jie is still tasteful, and such a large office seems to be rare in this kind of old building.

It can be seen that Qu Jie has put a little effort into the decoration of the office.

First of all, the decoration of the entire office is simple and elegant, which makes people feel comfortable.

And in the entire huge office, there is only one desk, two chairs, one of which is a bed, and a few instruments and equipment.

Lu Weiwei sat on the boss chair opposite the desk, while Gu Chen came to the bed and sat down casually.

Seeing that the two policemen stopped looking around, Qu Jie adjusted his glasses, sat at his desk, and asked:

"Comrade policeman, how did this Wang Jiayao die?"

"On the mountain of the reservoir, hanged himself to death." Gu Chen said.

"Hanging yourself? This..." Qu Jie seemed to be a little apprehensive, but he didn't reveal much.

Gu Chen asked: "Has Wang Jiayao come to see a doctor?"

"I've been here." Qu Jie nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "He is my patient, and he has been here for treatment."

"At first, the treatment effect was quite obvious, but for people like them with serious mental illness, it doesn't mean that you can be cured overnight, and you need to persist in treatment."

"However, this Wang Jiayao didn't come here to continue the treatment as I wanted, so maybe the disease relapsed."

"What's wrong with Wang Jiayao? Can you show us his case?" Lu Weiwei said.

But Qu Jie said embarrassingly: "Comrade policeman, it's not that I don't want to show it to you, it's just that Wang Jiayao came to me for treatment, and he didn't even want to come here for formal treatment."

"So, I didn't write a medical record for him here, but just registered here."

"Later, Wang Jiayao also came once, but he refused to continue the treatment again."

With a sigh, Qu Jie also shook his head, feeling powerless.

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then asked Qu Jie: "What's the matter with him? Why didn't he receive treatment?"

"Maybe it's because of the money?" Qu Jie said.

"Can you tell us the details?" Lu Weiwei said.

"Yes." Qu Jie didn't seem to be difficult to get along with, at least when answering the police's question, he didn't intend to hide anything.

So I started to tell Gu Chen exactly what happened before:

"This Wang Jiayao may be a convalescent patient from my place who introduced him here."

"So, from the very beginning, Wang Jiayao seemed to have no hope, but our treatment here has certain principles."

"That's the first treatment. I don't charge for it, as long as I test the patient's condition and distinguish the specific symptoms."

"Once the treatment plan is determined, I will communicate with the patient, and the patient decides whether to receive treatment here."

"Then why didn't he come for treatment?" Lu Weiwei expressed puzzlement.

But Qu Jie said helplessly: "Then what can I do? After all, it is Wang Jiayao who refuses to pay."

"Maybe he thinks that my charges here are too expensive, but the treatment here is really effective. I have a doctorate in psychology. I am an expert in psychotherapy, so the charges will be higher."

"However, there are countless patients who received treatment from me and finally got rid of depression and mental illness. The reputation of me, Qu Jie, is based on these recovered patients. A gold signboard."

With a faint sigh, Qu Jie adjusted his glasses, looked at Gu Chen and said:

"However, this Wang Jiayao seems not very satisfied with the price, so he finally decided to give up the treatment."

"Give up the treatment?" Hearing this, Lu Weiwei felt incredible.

Obviously, she has been suffering from the succubus, but at the critical moment of the treatment, she chooses to interrupt the treatment.

From Lu Weiwei's point of view, it seemed a little unbelievable.

Gu Chen saw something tricky, so he asked Qu Jie, "Dr. Qu, how do you charge here?"

"Oh." Hearing the charge, Qu Jie said "Oh", and then began to explain:

"It depends on the condition of the illness. Some of these illnesses are mild mental illnesses."

"With a little treatment, you can get out of the woods very quickly."

"For patients like this, I usually charge relatively cheap, only five thousand to ten thousand, until they are cured."

"Five thousand to ten thousand?" Upon hearing the price, Lu Weiwei gasped and said:

"Not to mention, the price here is really unacceptable to ordinary people. Looking at a mental illness, the fee is so expensive?"

"Hehe, don't you know something about this?" Seeing that Lu Weiwei didn't seem to know much about her income from work, Qu Jie also revealed it, saying:

"Actually, in the field of psychotherapy, the abilities of major doctors are also uneven, but who am I, Qu Jie? I have a doctorate in psychology from a top foreign university."

"My patient's recovery path is more than 90%, which belongs to the top of the pyramid in the industry."

"So, my fee is reasonable. If you go to those first-tier cities, the fee may be even more exaggerated. I'm still a friendly price."

"Okay, I got it." After listening to Qu Jie's introduction, Gu Chen asked Qu Jie again:

"What you said just now may have some truth, but what I want to know is what's going on with Wang Jiayao's situation?"

"He is here with you, what level of sickness can he be regarded as?"

"Serious level." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Qu Jie blurted out and continued:

"The patient Wang Jiayao already suffers from a serious mental illness."

"My rating for Wang Jiayao is very serious."

"It can be said that mental illness is destroying Wang Jiayao step by step. He must receive professional and systematic treatment from me in order to get rid of the predicament of mental illness."

"Then how much do you charge him?" Lu Weiwei couldn't wait for the result.

Qu Jie didn't hide it either, and directly stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty thousand?" Lu Weiwei's eyes widened in disbelief.

And Qu Jie also nodded in acquiescence: "Yes, for his situation, I usually charge 20,000 to 30,000."

"So, the price I quoted to Wang Jiayao is basically a friendly price."

"Besides, this is the number of times that includes several courses of treatment. After all, you feel that everything will be fine with just one treatment, so I think you should not come to me."

"So, I asked him for 20,000 yuan for treatment, which is quite fair."

"What's the situation?" Listening to Qu Jie's endless chatter, Lu Weiwei also said angrily, "What's the situation with him, Wang Jiayao? It's so serious that he needs to spend 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to treat his psychological problems. What's the situation?"

...
