Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 166 The Hand of God 19
It will take some time to verify what happened three years ago.

During this break, the criminal investigation team took Kuang Fan to a psychological clinic and again requested to see the patient information.

Kuang Fan's attitude was not as peaceful as it had been the previous two days; his face was tense and his eyes were deep.

Tan Jia looked at him and recalled the information she had investigated. Someone as selfish and eager for praise as him was taken away in front of his relatives and neighbors. Just imagining how everyone would overturn their impression of him behind his back would cause him a great sense of loss.

When emotions fluctuate, one's arrogant, conceited, and utterly heartless nature will be exposed.

There are times when panic and tension leave no room for escape.

So he was now pinned down in the clinic's office, looking extremely grim, but he didn't yell or shout that he couldn't be examined. His first reaction was to have his assistant close the door to prevent patients' families in the waiting room from seeing him.

He couldn't bear to take off the heroic skin he wore, even as he faced death.

Kuang Fan's assistant, unaware of what had happened, anxiously pulled up the patient's medical records on the computer.

Zheng Yan and his group went over to take a look, focusing on patients who had received treatment several times and whose conditions had relapsed.

Tan Jia used the mouse to mark some patient information, and by differentiating them by color, the key points were easy to see.

She said, "Three years ago was a watershed moment. Before that, it was all about conventional emotional counseling, involving patients of different ages, genders, and illnesses. After that, it was almost exclusively for students, and then it gradually involved younger children. And several people experienced a worsening of their condition during treatment."

“This reminds me of a quack doctor I once met,” Zheng Yan said. “It was like a scam. I took his medicine and it didn’t help. Instead, it made my condition worse. When I went to confront him, he said it was normal. He said that taking the medicine would make my condition worse first, like opening up a wound to remove the rotten flesh, and then it would slowly get better.”

The assistant couldn't help but whisper, "But psychological problems are different from other illnesses. It's difficult to fully understand the patient's true issues during the first few consultations. However, the parents are eager to see results, so we can only start trying treatment from the second session. At this point, if something triggers the patient, or if our judgment is wrong due to a lack of clarity in the patient's situation, there's a certain probability that the patient's condition will worsen. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing; we can learn from the exposure..."

"That sounds reasonable, but Dr. Kuang's treatment philosophy is quite different from yours. He probably believes that he can't demonstrate his outstanding treatment abilities unless the patient's condition worsens, so he intentionally lets the patient be more lenient. Is that right, Dr. Kuang?" Zheng Yan looked at Kuang Fan.

From the moment he heard the green-haired girl speak, Kuang Fan had been sweating profusely, and now his answers to the questions were somewhat stiff.

"Officer Zheng, what are you saying? How could I possibly think that way?"

The assistant subconsciously added, "That's impossible. Dr. Kwong is very patient with his patients. He would rather not charge money than not help those children who are troubled by mental health issues."

Zheng Yan stared at the person meaningfully: "Is that so?"

The detective's sharp eyes were far more formidable than anyone else's; when he looked at someone, it was as if he were hammering nails into their skin, making Kuang Fan's hands and feet feel a little cold.

Tan Jia glanced back, scrolled down the medical records, and found a relatively typical case.

“A year ago, you treated a sixteen-year-old girl named Liu Lizhen. She developed depressive tendencies because she was assaulted, but after more than a month of emotional support, her condition suddenly deteriorated. The record says she encountered an external stimulus. What exactly happened?” Kuang Fan’s eyelids twitched, and he stared at her with a gloomy gaze, indicating his refusal to answer: “That’s patient privacy. I’m sorry, we can’t tell you. Besides, you’re probably not with the police, so we definitely can’t tell you.”

Tan Jia straightened up, turned her head to meet his unfriendly gaze, and chuckled lightly: "Don't you realize how serious this is? I'm asking you to save face for you. Otherwise, if I just went to your door by name and said that Dr. Kuang had made a lot of misdiagnoses that caused problems for patients, I could not only get the answer, but also get you into trouble with those aggressive 'savior supporters'."

She wasn't one to take things lying down. After speaking, she glanced at Kuang Fan indifferently and asked her assistant directly, "You answer, what exactly happened? Did the patient encounter a similar assault again, causing her mental state to collapse, and then Dr. Kuang descended like a god to save her from her precarious situation, making her family, who originally only wanted a monthly pass, end up spending 100,000 yuan to buy a yearly pass?"

"..." Although this guess was ridiculously absurd, it was almost certainly true. The assistant looked at Kuang Fan, then at the police officer beside him, and nodded with difficulty.

"I remember this patient. Her condition was relatively good because her family loved her very much and paid close attention to her mental health. As soon as the incident happened, she came to receive emotional counseling. At that time, she was able to go out normally except when it got dark."

"But one morning when she was jogging, she encountered two drunkards who had been drinking all night. They tugged at her and almost pulled her into their car...and then her mental state took a sharp turn for the worse."

Zheng Yan patted the back of Kuang Fan's seat and sneered, "This story sounds familiar. Isn't Li Xin the same? He has post-traumatic stress disorder related to fires. He's probably gotten better in the last fifteen years, but then he encountered a similar fire and was so frightened that he had a mental breakdown."

Tan Jia echoed him, saying, "It's a pity that Li Xin's post-traumatic stress disorder was too severe; the person who started the fire never expected that he would be burned to death."

Kuang Fan was tense all over, but acted as if he didn't know what they were talking about.

"It's a coincidence, but it's really a pity about Li Xin. It's all my fault for going up to put out the fire too late. If I had gotten the key to open the door earlier, I could have saved him."

Zheng Yan: "Dr. Kuang is truly helpful and has a compassionate heart. However, there are too many similarities in the things that have happened to these people, so we still need to investigate them one by one. It's impossible for every incident to be a coincidence. What do you think?"

Kuang Fan didn't even bother with a polite smile anymore. He stared at one spot, seemingly trying to find any clues about the past that might be easily exposed.

The office was quiet for a few seconds. Compared to his nervousness, Tan Jia was much more relaxed. She ignored his gloomy eyes, crossed her arms, and turned around, stopping by the banner on the wall, where there was half a framed newspaper.

"Is this the news that was reported three years ago after he saved the girl who jumped off the building? There's even a banner of appreciation. Did Dr. Kwong only become famous after this incident? The cases of students like Liu Lizhen, whose conditions worsened before being saved, also started happening after this incident."

The assistant seemed to understand the implication and slowly opened his eyes wide.

Kuang Fan remained unmoved.

After sighing, Tan Jia added, "We asked the girl, and although it was Dr. Kuang's misdiagnosis that delayed her recovery, the main reason was that someone provoked her before she jumped, which led her to have such thoughts. We suspect that someone is deliberately creating trouble behind the scenes, and maybe Li Xin's incident is also related to him. Dr. Kuang, please cooperate and tell us?"

It took Kuang Fan a minute or two to understand what she meant. His expression twisted for a moment, revealing an incredulous reaction.
