In a black Ford Explorer.

Shakru Khan sat in the back and looked a little reserved, "Thank you for sending me to a mental hospital."

"You're welcome." Luke looked at the other person, "Are you busy studying recently?"

"Yes, I have taken 5 AP (college courses) now."

"You are still young, there is no need to put so much pressure on yourself."

"I have taken 11 AP courses before and also took a self-study in Chinese. I have already reduced my workload with the advice of a psychologist."

While Luke was surprised, he also noticed a problem. According to what Shakru Khan said now, he should have reduced his burden.

But he said before that he hasn't had much contact recently because he is busy with studies, and there is a contradiction between the two.

"Is there any conflict between you and Amir Murthy?"

"No."

"Then why have you alienated him recently?"

Shakru Khan answered the question inappropriately, "Do you know how many AP courses he has taken?"

"It won't be more than you, right?"

"He took 20 AP courses."

"A proper future Ivy."

"Yes, he has always been someone else's child according to his parents. We are neighbors and classmates. We are often compared together. I feel extremely stressed when I am with him.

I study every day, study very hard, and have almost no time to do other things.

But I still couldn't catch up with him, so I worked harder.

I have been sick since spring this year, and the doctor advised me to rest more, get enough sleep, and be in a happy mood.

But I can't do it, I still have to learn...

Later, I also had mental problems. The doctor diagnosed me with depression and told me to reduce my study time. Otherwise, the depression will become more serious and may even lead to a mental breakdown." Shakru Khan sighed.

, said helplessly,

"I was very unwilling at the time. I studied very hard, but Aamir Murthy worked harder and had better academic performance. Why didn't his body collapse? Why wasn't he depressed?

In the words of a psychiatrist, everyone's talent is different, just like when O'Neal plays basketball, his height and physical fitness are there. No matter how hard you try, you can't compare to his opponent.

The same goes for learning. Everyone's talent, physique, endurance, and self-control are different. Although these inner things are not as obvious as physical fitness, they are still talented.

Moreover, the psychiatrist warned me that if I continue to overload my studies and develop severe depression, I may eventually have a mental breakdown. By then, let alone going to a top university, I may not even be able to go to university.

Therefore, I choose to reconcile with myself and reduce my burden."

Shakru Khan's face looked a little helpless, but also a little relaxed, "This is also the reason why I stay away from Aamir Murthy. Being with him... is too hurtful."

Luke asked, "Why do you think Amir Murthy was killed?"

"I don't know. I've never heard of him having conflicts with anyone else. Is it possible that it was an accident?"

"What's the name of your psychiatrist?"

"Vassek Vieri."

"Have you told him about Amir Murthy?"

"have."

"Has he met Aamir Murthy?"

"No."

"Did he instruct you to do anything?"

"On the contrary.

In his words, if wasting time can make you happy, then wasting time.

Life itself is meaningless, it is just artificially given some meaning."

Through previous investigations, it was found that the first deceased assistant, Melanie Hickman, also had mental problems and had also seen a psychiatrist.

Melanie Hickman and Shakru Khan are both involved in the case and have close connections with the case. It is probably not a coincidence that both of them have seen a psychiatrist.

Luke even boldly guessed that the psychiatrist they saw was probably the same person.

If Luke's guess is correct, then the psychiatrist is highly suspicious.

Luke reminded, "Shaklu, because this case is still under investigation, I hope you can keep this conversation confidential and not tell the psychiatrist."

"I see."

Later, the car drove to Mokat Hospital. Shakru Khan said goodbye to Luke, got out of the car and walked into the hospital.

Luke ordered, "Potter, follow up and check on the psychiatrist."

"yes, sir."

…

Porter followed up and visited and quickly found out the psychiatrist's situation. However, Luke did not go to the psychiatrist immediately. Instead, he wanted to hear the results of Marcus' investigation and confirm the psychiatrist of the two people involved.

Whether it is the same person.

After returning to the Robbery and Murder Division, Luke recounted the investigation and then asked, "Marcus, is there any progress in your investigation?"

Marcus replied, "We went to Macon Hospital where Melanie Hickman was seen to investigate.

In recent times, Melanie Hickman has seen a doctor four times, and each time she found the same psychiatrist, Misou David."

Luke frowned slightly. This was different from the results of his investigation. He was treated in a different hospital and the psychiatrist was not the same.

Could it be that my previous speculation was wrong?

Is it just a coincidence that Shahrul Khan and Melanie Hickman see a psychiatrist?

Luke carefully thought about the three cases and the relevant people involved. The deceased in the three cases may have had conflicts with others, but these conflicts were not enough to be the motive for the murder.

Unless the murderer has a mental problem.

Luke felt that the direction of investigating the psychiatrist was right.

…

Macon Hospital.

On the second floor, the second psychological consultation room.

The office space in the clinic is not large, with two tables placed side by side, information cabinets, a water dispenser, a simple bed and several pots of green plants.

A white female doctor in her thirties is sitting at her desk, operating a computer and researching data.

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and a black man in his twenties walked in. His shoulders were slumped, his back was hunched, and he looked weak.

"Hello, are you Dr. Misu David?"

The white female doctor glanced at the black man and said, "Yes, it's me.

Are you Marcus Burnett?"

"it's me."

"Please sit down." Misu David looked at Marcus, "Tell me about your situation?"

Marcus sighed, "I... I've been having trouble sleeping recently. I always feel unsteady and I seem to have lost interest in many things...

I can’t remember the last time I laughed out loud?”

"How long have you been like this?"

"It's been almost a year, but it was never serious before, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

I can only sleep an average of three or four hours a day now. Do you know what that feels like?

It’s really painful.”

"I understand, many of my patients have similar situations to you.

Have you encountered any difficulties in the past year?"

"I went to work in a new company...I did encounter some situations that made me feel a little overwhelmed."

"What's your job?"

"Programming means facing a computer every day."

"Working hard?"

"Yes, I work at least 12 hours a day, sometimes even 14 hours, and I worry about work even on Saturdays and Sundays...working overtime is normal.
