10 pm, Feng ping police station medical room.
“How is it, team leader? Can you hear me?” Wu Xiumin pointed at Zhao Yu’s ear and reminded him.
“Mm …” Zhao Yu, who had already calmed down, touched the electronic devices between his ears with his hands and replied,”I can hear it very clearly. What is this?” A hearing aid?”
“Something like that,” Wu Xiumin replied.”It’s a miniature external hearing device, which can improve a person’s hearing. I don’t understand. Since the heavy machine gun hit your ear, only one ear should be affected. The other should be normal, right?”
“No,” Zhao Yu replied.”I was facing the heavy machine gun, and my face almost touched the barrel. Both of my ears were shocked!”
In fact, Zhao Yu only said this casually. He didn’t dare to say that he had been holding the gun barrel at that time.
“Oh, I see …” Wu Xiumin sighed helplessly, then said,”then your ears may be nerve deaf. Its recovery depends on your mental state!”
“Yes,” Zhao Yu nodded,”the doctor said so too!”
“Here.” Wu Xiumin handed Zhao Yu a cup of hot water.”Remember, don’t drink coffee in the future. Drink less beverages, and eat more food with vitamins … Um …”
Wu Xiumin wanted to say something, but she stopped.
“Sis Wu, thank you!” Zhao Yu took the cup and asked,”what happened to me just now? Why do I feel like I’m losing control? is this what Miao Ying meant by PTSD?”
“Yes, team leader, don’t think too much!” Wu Xiumin smiled and said,”after all, you experienced the war in valkries, so it’s normal for you to be psychologically affected. As for PTSD, it shouldn’t be that serious …”
“Oh …” Zhao Yu saw that the temperature of the water was just right, so he drank the entire cup of water in one go.
“But … There are some things that I have to remind you of …” Wu Xiumin suddenly stopped smiling and said,”I suspect that your bad mood just now was not entirely because of the war in valkries, but … But …”
“Oh?” “What’s the reason?” Zhao Yu asked, as this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
“Well …” Wu Xiumin let out a sigh of relief, then sat down in front of Zhao Yu and asked,”how about we have a good chat?”
“Oh … Alright, alright!” Zhao Yu understood that Wu Xiumin, as a psychologist, was giving him psychological counseling.
Outside the window, snowflakes were falling. Even at night, one could still watch from the window. However, the snow was silent, as if the entire world had quieted down.
“Do you still remember the time when you beat up your father-in-law in the hotpot chicken restaurant in Wenxi city?” Wu Xiumin said in a soothing tone,”at that time, we all couldn’t understand your extreme behavior.
“I know that you’re a crazy detective who doesn’t like to stick to the rules. Sometimes, you’ll also do some unscrupulous or out-of-line actions …”
“Can I understand the word ‘unscrupulous’ as ‘despicable’?” Zhao Yu joked.
Wu Xiumin smiled and continued,”To be honest, we didn’t know each other very well at that time, but after getting to know each other, I realized that although you are arrogant and unruly, you are still a Criminal Police officer with a bottom line!
“So, from that time on, I already thought that your behavior at the hotpot chicken restaurant was probably influenced by the isolated island murder case!
“I don’t know. Are you willing to talk to me about this in detail?”
“Mm … That’s right …” Zhao Yu admitted frankly.”In fact, this has always been a problem!
“I didn’t think much of it at that time, but later, I realized that it had a certain impact on me when I saw Captain Dou, who was originally the captain of the criminal Police, suddenly become a brutal murderer …”
Actually, although Zhao Yu had revealed the secret that he had been hiding in his heart for a long time, he had missed out on something.

In addition to this reason, it was also because he had transmigrated here. Before he transmigrated, he was a ruffian with no moral integrity and bottom line. He was even a death row convict!
Zhao Yu was particularly afraid that one day, he would be turned back into a murderer who was even more terrible than Captain Dou!
“Very good.” Wu Xiumin nodded with satisfaction at Zhao Yu’s honesty, then continued,”if I had had a good talk with you back then, maybe the effect would have been better!”
“However, from then on, even though you would have some emotional problems occasionally, most of them were within an acceptable range. Also, I noticed that your control is also constantly improving, so I didn’t dare to interfere.
“However, it’s different this time. The valkries incident can be considered a catalyst! Wu Xiumin pointed to Zhao Yu’s ears and said,”that’s why you have a serious emotional problem.”
“However, this question might seem coincidental, but it’s inevitable!
“Team leader,” Wu Xiumin looked at Zhao Yu seriously, then said with a solemn expression,”if I’m not wrong, the psychological problem you’re facing right now should be what we used to call the sore of criminal investigation!”
“What? Hemorrhoids?” Zhao Yu grinned.”I don’t have hemorrhoids.”
“I don’t think this is a good time to joke,” Wu Xiumin said with a stern face.”We often say that external injuries are easy to cure, but mental illness is difficult to cure. Even if a normal person has a mental illness, it is a very serious matter. What’s more, we are criminal investigators who often deal with crimes.”
This sentence made Zhao Yu feel like he had just woken up from a dream. He quickly sat up straight and listened carefully, not daring to be talkative anymore.
“Because of their frequent contact with murder cases and dead people, as well as those heartless and immoral things, for criminal investigators who work on the front line for a long time, they will more or less have some kind of stimulation, which will lead to different degrees of mental problems!
“This is inevitable, not to mention the Special Investigation Group, which often investigates big cases.
“Team leader, think about it carefully. The lighthouse case, the headless female corpses case, the devil case, the White bones case, the hasty murder case, the hanging coffin case, and so on … Did these cases really not affect you at all?”
“Mm …” Zhao Yu carefully recalled, then nodded.
Wu Xiumin was right. Although he rarely had nightmares about these cases, they would still flash through his mind from time to time.
Furthermore, every time he completed a case, his emotions would fluctuate for no reason, making it difficult for him to control them.
Could it be that … The source of his frustration was here?
Was it because of this “sore of criminal investigation”?
“You may still have doubts about why we’re all fine, but why do you, the great detective, get affected?” Wu Xiumin asked again.
“Mm … Indeed, indeed …” Zhao Yu nodded again, then asked,”you can’t become a Buddha without going crazy. Is it because I’m too focused on solving cases?” You always think of yourself as a criminal, so … So that’s why you’re possessed?”
“That’s one of the reasons! “But, in addition to that,” Wu Xiumin said frankly,”this kind of mental trauma is often more powerful, the greater the impact!
“Just like you, the more capable a person is, the less willing they are to expose their timidity and weaknesses, and the less good they are at expressing their confusion!
“Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Oh …
So that was how it was!
This sentence was like an enlightenment, directly pointing to Zhao Yu’s heart.
He finally understood that his previous strength was only on the surface. If he wanted to become a real expert in the criminal investigation world, he had to overcome his inner demons!
