Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 248 - 248: The Gentle Psychiatrist (18)

One day after the storm, the sky returned to calm, the wind was still, and the sun was shining brightly. The plants were covered with water droplets, reflecting the crystal light, and the air was filled with the smell of grass mixed with soil, and the streets were full of small wet ponds, which can make one's shoes wet if you are not careful.

Tang Meng complained loudly to herself about the humid air and her wet trousers when she had walked down the streets and followed the directions from the GPS to navigate her way to Yue Ran's clinic.

When Tang Meng arrived at her destination, she gaped a little. Yue Ran's clinic was much bigger than she had imagined at first. Thinking that the other party had reached such achievements at such a young age, Tang Meng could not help but feel a little more admiration for Yue Ran.

When she walked into the clinic, she immediately headed up to the receptionist.

"Hello, I am Tang Meng." Tang Meng greeted Liu Zi. "I have made an appointment with Doctor Yue to come here today."

"Please wait a minute, Miss Tang, and let me check Doctor Yue's schedule to confirm your appointment with her," Liu Zi, Yue Ran's secretary and the clinic's receptionist, said politely to Tang Meng.

Liu Zi sat at the front desk while clicking on the mouse with eyes stuck to the screen of the computer to confirm Yue Ran's itinerary for the day. When she had gotten what she wanted, she then smiled, stood up from her seat, and led Tang Meng to Yue Ran's office upstairs.

"Doctor Yue, Miss Tang is here," Liu Zi announced after knocking on the door to Yue Ran's office.

"I see," Yue Ran answered, her gentle voice traveling out the door. "Let her in."

With that, Tang Meng walked into Yue Ran's office, feeling a little uneasy for some reason. It was not until she saw Yue Ran looking at her with a gentle smile on her face that she could finally feel relaxed.

Yue Ran stood up and made tea for her guest of the day, the female protagonist, and the two quickly sat down face-to-face and began to communicate, going straight into business.

Tang Meng started, "Doctor Yue, are you aware of the recent cases that have occurred in this city?"

"Recent cases? Yes, I have heard about them being reported in the news on TV," Yue Ran answered. "They are the cases involving teenage suicides, right?"

Yue Ran's expression turned serious when she mentioned this.

"Yes, that is right," Tang Meng said with a nod. "Although I am not in a position to reveal too many details, I can still mention a few more things that are not released to the public. In the past year or so, within a total of five months, there have already been six suicide cases reported, which all occurred in this city, and all of them involved teenagers between the ages of 14 and 19."

"Within five months, and all involved are teenagers between the ages of 14 and 19?" Yue Ran paused for a moment in quiet contemplation. "This does sound a little fishy."

Tang Meng could not help but feel a little excited when her suspicion was also recognized by others—in this case, Yue Ran—and thus she quickly continued talking.

"Yes, after my investigation, I found out that these deceased teenagers all had mental illnesses with varying degrees of severity, but they were almost cured before they suddenly committed suicide," Tang Meng said.

"Mental illness of varying degrees? If you put it that way..." Yue Ran paused in her words before she continued, "Then there is a reason to explain their suicide."

Hearing this, Tang Meng instantly grew anxious. She did not want Yue Ran to think about suicide cases like this in this way, and so she quickly explained in panic, "No, it is not like this! I think that there is something deeper about the cases! The suicides of these victims, I think, are problematic."

"Oh?" Yue Ran raised a brow in question. "Are you saying that you suspect that someone is inducing or motivating them to commit suicide instead?"

Yue Ran's words hit the nail on the head. The lingering speculations that Tang Meng had dared not voice out were unequivocally and unhesitatingly pushed out into the open and slapped into her face by Yue Ran.

Tang Meng could only take a deep breath and nod cautiously before saying, "Yes. I think so. It is for this that I hope Doctor Yue can help me analyze their psychological conditions."

Yue Ran smiled slightly as she said, "No offense intended, but one can only analyze the psychological state of the deceased through other people's words and evidence, and the inferred results may also deviate from the facts."

Tang Meng was stunned for a moment, and her heart sank a little. She was feeling a little disappointed, which was not much at all, to be honest. This was because she herself actually did not particularly believe in the crazy guess that someone had led these six young people to commit suicide and managed to get away with it without a scratch or even a trail left behind.

Sometimes, Tang Meng herself even wondered if she had read too many fiction novels, which led her to try and crack this closed case in the first place. After all, there was not much for her to do in the police criminal force, and there was so much free time on her hands.

"But I can still give it a try," Yue Ran said after a moment of pause.

"Really?" Tang Meng raised her head with a grateful expression, and she felt a lot more relaxed in her heart. "Thank you so much, Doctor Yue!"

Tang Meng actually does not feel much responsibility to find the truth in this closed case. She had actually held no real expectation in her heart.
