Chapter 868: Professional Code of Doctors and Detectives
Christine shook her head again. “I don’t know, but that was when I ntioned that her parents were very upset about her running away.”
Pondering for a mont, Luke asked, “That’s it?”
Christine nodded helplessly. “That’s it.”
Seeing that he didn’t say anything and seed to be thinking, she couldn’t help but add, “She’s in a very poor ntal state. That’s a big problem.”
Luke raised his head. “Hm?”
Christine said, “I’ve never studied psychology, but I’ve found a professional psychiatrist to help examine her. You might find that more useful.”
Luke wasn’t bothered.
That was the nature of the police: If it wasn’t necessary, the extent to which they investigated sothing depended on their mood.
He looked at his watch and said, “You’re eting the doctor at ten, right?”
Christine knew what he ant and explained, “She’s already on her way, but she was delayed by a traffic accident near the hospital.”
Luke nodded. “That’s great. When the doctor asks Molly later...”
“You guys... are also here?” A surprised female voice suddenly rang out.
Luke and the other two saw a blonde woman walking over.
She stretched out her hand. “Long ti no see, Detective Luke Coulson. I didn’t think you would actually transfer to New York.”
“Haley Cohen, nice to see you again.” Luke smiled and shook her hand.
“Just call Haley.” The blonde woman shook hands with Selina as well and used Selina’s full na, amply demonstrating her excellent mory.
Haley Cohen’s sister was Margaret Cohen, a forr art student at USC, who was once Margaret Johnson.
Margaret’s husband, who died a few months ago, was the boss of an L.A. real estate group, William Johnson. Rebecca had shot him in the head for his involvent in her sister’s murder.
Later, Margaret was targeted by the L.A. gangs because of William’s underground dealings.
When they t at sea, Luke and Selina had saved Margaret and Haley.
Both Luke and Selina still rembered Haley Cohen, who was supposedly a New York psychiatrist and doctor.
After the three of them exchanged greetings, Christine asked in surprise, “You know each other?”
Luke and Selina simply nodded and didn’t say anything.
Haley, however, explained, “Luke and Selina helped a lot in Los Angeles, but I was too busy dealing with my sister’s matter to thank them.”
Christine nodded and said to Luke and Selina, “That’s great. Haley’s the psychiatrist I invited.”
She then turned and looked at Haley. “It was Luke and Selina who found the girl, so I asked them to co over, in case they could help her.”
Haley nodded. “Is the girl inside?”
Christine nodded.
Haley said, “Then co with . Luke, Selina, can you wait here?”
Christine hurriedly said, “Haley, this...”
Luke, however, raised his hand and said, “It’s fine. This is a psychiatrist’s code of practice. It just so happens Selina and I want to get sothing to drink. Our voices are a little hoarse yelling at the female driver who broke the law earlier.”
Christine didn’t understand what he ant, but Haley raised an eyebrow.
She looked him up and down, as if she had found sothing fun.
However, Luke simply smiled at her and went to look for a vending machine with Selina.
After the two of them disappeared around a corner, Christine imdiately said, “Haley, what are you doing? Nobody from the SVU wants to bother with this. When I asked Luke and Selina to co, I was afraid they wouldn’t care very much. You...”
Haley grinned, revealing white, even teeth. “Don’t worry. I know better than you how professional these two detectives are.”
Christine was stumped for a mont, before she was suddenly enlightened. “You know them from L.A. Aren’t they NYPD? Right, you said they transferred here.”
Haley said, “Alright, these two detectives aren’t that petty. Let’s figure out the girl’s situation as soon as possible and not waste everybody’s ti. The New York detectives are busier than I am.”
Christine agreed.
Two of them were detectives, one was a psychiatrist, and one was an ergency nurse. None of them had ti to spare. It would be a cri to waste four people’s ti.
Luke and Selina went straight to a vending machine and bought a bottle of juice each. They didn’t plan to waste any ti at all.
Selina said in a low voice, “This Dr. Haley isn’t simple. Elsa ntioned her sister, Margaret, before in conversation. That super-rich woman has disappeared from Los Angeles. Nobody knows where she went. Thinking about it, it can only be that sister of hers who arranged everything.”
Luke said casually, “When they were being hunted by ard criminals back then, Haley even steered a yacht while they were running for their lives! She’s quite bold and careful.”
Selina agreed.
Most n would react abnormally when they ran into gangsters with guns, let alone take a yacht while running for their lives, but from beginning to end, Haley had been unusually calm.
This psychiatrist truly wasn’t any ordinary person.
“What about the girl, Molly?” Selina changed the subject.
Luke said, “There’s indeed sothing wrong with her ntal condition. We might have to follow up on it. Now, we’re just waiting for a professional answer.”
A little over an hour later, Christine and Haley ca out of the ward.
Looking at the good-looking man and woman whispering to each other with lollipops in their mouths, the two won couldn’t help but look at each other, finding the scene rather ludicrous.
Luke didn’t want to waste ti on pleasantries. He had been listening outside the door the whole ti, and hadn’t missed a word.
However, he still wanted to hear Haley’s opinion. He asked, “How is it? Any clues?”
Haley nodded and shook her head. “There’s indeed sothing wrong with Molly, and it should be related to so ‘he.’ However...”
She hesitated.
Luke said, “Haley, you have doctor/patient confidentiality, but this is also our case. We won’t be able to find a suspect if we don’t know anything, right?”
Haley was silent for a mont before she said, “What I’m going to say is just my speculation and may not turn out to be true. You need to investigate it, okay?”
Luke said, “Okay.”
“Molly has indeed been with a man recently, and it’s possible that this man had Molly under hypnosis for a long period of ti,” said Haley solemnly.
