Chapter 1 Discharge
"Well, it's up to the discharge criteria."
Bai Yanliang's attending doctor, Dr. Cheng, put down the medical record in his hand and looked up at him, "Yanliang, you have to live a good life after leaving the hospital, remember to contact me in time if you encounter problems, don't be polite, after all, Uncle Cheng can be regarded as watching you grow up......"
Doctor Cheng looked at the delicate young man sitting in front of him with a somewhat complicated gaze.
Bai Yanliang, male, 23 years old.
At the age of thirteen, he was involved in an extremely brutal murder case, and the victim was his only relative, his brother Bai Yanren.
The case ten years ago caused a sensation in the entire industry city, not only because Bai Yanren's death was too terrifying, but also because there was only one person suspected of committing the crime - Bai Yanliang, who was under the age of fourteen.
When the police arrived at the scene of the murder, in addition to the broken corpses in the house, there was only Bai Yanliang sitting among the blood and corpses, and from the wall to the ground, and then to the murder weapons left at the scene, all of them were Bai Yanliang's blood-red handprints.
And what is even more creepy is the time of death of the deceased.
The autopsy report found that Bai Yanren's body had been dismembered for a whole day, which meant that Bai Yanliang, who was only thirteen years old, had been alone with a room full of corpses for a day and a night.
No one knew what he did, and no one knew what he was thinking.
No sadness, no crying, no fear, no expression.
His immature face seemed to be wearing a lifelike mask, which made people not see the slightest emotion.
Later, it was found by psychologists that he appeared to have antisocial personality disorder.
This personality disorder, also known as emotionless personality disorder, is most notably aggressive, good at lying and manipulating others' emotions, ignoring social norms, and prone to behaviors that are difficult for most people to accept.
Ordinary people will only act impulsively when they are seriously injured or frightened, such as killing people in passion, excessive defense, etc.
After these behaviors have serious consequences, ordinary people tend to feel anxious, guilty, and regretful.
But people with antisocial personality disorder don't.
They can do things that hurt others with peace of mind, and they are completely unaware of the victim's pain, let alone sleepless and sleepless at night.
They have no empathy, they are comfortable doing bad things, and they use the kindness and trust of others to weave lies that are not condemned by their conscience.
This incident caused a lot of trouble, the police filed a case to deal with it, and the evidence left at the scene and Bai Yanliang's personality disorder all showed that he was the murderer.
However, because Bai Yanliang was under the age of 14 and did not bear criminal responsibility, the procuratorate could not prosecute the court.
The final treatment method was that Bai Yanliang was admitted and managed by Yecheng Psychiatric Hospital, and he could only be discharged after he was "cured" of his personality disorder.
In fact, this is just another argument for life imprisonment.
Personality disorders are a disease that has no cure at all.
However, the unexpected happened.
Beginning in the third year after Bai Yanliang was admitted to the hospital, his monthly mental status check-up began to change slowly, of course, in a better direction.
He was no longer taciturn, no longer restless, and he liked to look at the vast sky more than a dark corner.
Except for the first three years after being admitted to the hospital, Bai Yanliang has never had a physical conflict with anyone, not even a verbal altercation.
He taught himself all the courses of high school and borrowed many boring books from doctors.
"He's a normal person, he shouldn't be locked up in a mental hospital for the rest of his life."
This cognition gradually became accepted by all doctors and nurses as Bai Yanliang's more and more gentle and friendly behavior.
Later, he even became the only "patient" who could visit the entire psychiatric hospital independently without supervision.
And as far as Dr. Cheng knows, more and more little girls who have just come to the internship have been fascinated by him and don't know the east and west, after all, he is not only mild-tempered, but also has a delicate face, judging from the recent celebrities that young people like, his face is obviously a very popular type.
"Thank you, Uncle Cheng." Bai Yanliang got up and shook Dr. Cheng's hand, and said with a smile: "Although it sounds a little strange, this is my second home, and I will come back to visit you often." ”
Doctor Cheng looked at the young man, reached out and patted Bai Yanliang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Go ahead, take good care of yourself." ”
Bai Yanliang nodded, turned around and left Dr. Cheng's office.
Looking at his departing back, a strange thought suddenly flashed through Dr. Cheng's mind.
Antisocial personality disorder, good at cheating, pretending to ......
"How could it be ......" Dr. Cheng smiled and patted his head, shaking off the unrealistic idea.
If all of Bai Yanliang's performances were pretended, it would be too terrible, right? Started performing in disguise at the age of sixteen and has continued until now?
Over there, Bai Yanliang turned around slightly, and at the last moment when the office door was about to be closed by him, he suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, Doctor Cheng." ”
Doctor Cheng was stunned, looked up suddenly, and saw only the door that had been closed by Bai Yanliang.
……
"Xiaobai, you're going to be discharged from the hospital......"
"Will you come back to see me?"
"Don't forget me, little white ......"
Several young nurses pulled Bai Yanliang's sleeves and followed him all the way out of the door.
"Well, you have to work hard, I'll come back and visit you." Bai Yanliang looked at these youthful and energetic faces and said with a smile.
"Hmmm! Okay. ”
In the reluctant gaze of the crowd, Bai Yanliang waved his hand, and finally stepped out of this place where he had stayed for ten years.
"It's been ten years, brother."
Bai Yanliang looked up at the sky and muttered in a low voice.
"Coming out?"
A low, hoarse baritone sounded to Bai Yanliang's right.
He turned his head to see a man in his forties with a full beard and casually dressed leaning against the side of the car, smoking a cigarette and looking at him.
"Uncle Yang?" Bai Yanliang screamed, a little surprised.
"It's okay, I thought I only remembered the little girl and didn't remember me." Yang Wanlong threw the cigarette butt at his feet and said with a smile while stepping on it.
"How come, for so many years, only Uncle Yang has taken time out to visit me in the hospital every year, and the work of the police is already busy......"
"Don't talk about that, get in the car." Yang Wanlong greeted indifferently.
Bai Yanliang smiled and nodded, did not refuse Yang Wanlong's kindness, and got into the other party's off-road vehicle with his luggage.
"I just came out of the place where I didn't live, so I went to my uncle's house first." Yang Wanlong said casually, after a while, he took out another cigarette, and was just about to light it, but he saw Bai Yanliang sitting in the back seat, threw the cigarette away, and changed his words: "Don't don't agree, when you find a job, Uncle won't keep you, and besides, there are some things that I put there, it's time to give them to you." ”
"Something?" Bai Yanliang frowned slightly, and then as if he had thought of something, he looked at Yang Wanlong's side face seriously.
"Well, your brother's relics have been kept by the police, and it's time to return them."
