Chapter 1 Discharge
"Well, the discharge criteria have been met."
Dr. Cheng, Bai Yanliang's attending doctor, put down the medical record in his hand and looked up at him, "Yanliang, you should live a good life after leaving the hospital. If you encounter any problems, remember to contact me in time. Don't be polite. After all, Uncle Cheng is also a doctor. I grew up with you..."
Doctor Cheng looked at the handsome young man sitting in front of him with complicated eyes.
Bai Yanliang, male.
Zeng Jin was involved in an extremely cruel murder case, and the victim was his only relative - his brother Bai Yanren.
The case ten years ago caused a sensation throughout Yecheng, not only because the circumstances of Bai Yanren's death were so horrific, but also because the person most suspected of committing the crime was his younger brother Bai Yanliang.
When the police arrived at the scene of the murder, apart from the corpse in the room, there was only Bai Yanliang sitting on the ground. Moreover, from the wall to the ground to the murder weapon left at the scene, there were all Bai Yanliang's blood-red fingerprints.
What is even more chilling is the time of death of the deceased.
The autopsy report found that Bai Yanren had been killed for a whole day, which meant that the young Bai Yanliang stayed alone with the body for a day and a night.
No one knows what he did or what he was thinking.
No sadness, no crying, no fear, no expression.
His young face seemed to be wearing a lifelike mask, making it impossible to see any emotion.
Later, psychological experts found that he seemed to have antisocial personality disorder.
This personality disorder is also known as callous personality disorder. The most obvious manifestation is that it is highly aggressive, good at lying and manipulating other people's emotions, ignores social moral norms, and is prone to behaviors that are unacceptable to most people.
Some impulsive behaviors that ordinary people will do when they are seriously injured or frightened, such as killing people or excessive defense, etc.
After these behaviors cause serious consequences, ordinary people often 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 will not feel the pain of the victims at all, let alone sleepless nights.
They have no empathy and can do bad things with ease, taking advantage of the kindness and trust of others to weave lies without any remorse from their conscience.
This incident was such a big deal that the police filed a case. The evidence left at the scene and Bai Yanliang's personality disorder all showed that he was the murderer.
In the end, Bai Yanliang was admitted and managed by Yecheng Mental Hospital, and he could only be discharged after his personality disorder was "cured".
In fact, this is just another way of saying life imprisonment.
Because there is no cure for personality disorder.
However, something unexpected happened.
Beginning in the third year after Bai Yanliang was admitted to the hospital, his monthly mental status examination began to slowly change, of course, for the better.
He is no longer taciturn and restless. He prefers to look at the vast sky more and more than the dark corners.
Except for the first three years when he was hospitalized, Bai Yanliang never had a physical conflict with anyone or even had an argument.
He taught himself all the basic courses and borrowed many boring books from doctors.
"He is a normal person and he should not be locked up in a mental hospital for his whole life."
This understanding was gradually accepted by all doctors and nurses as Bai Yanliang's increasingly gentle and friendly behavior.
Later, he even became the only "patient" who could walk around the entire mental hospital independently without supervision.
And as far as Dr. Cheng knows, more and more young girls who have just come to practice have been fascinated by him. After all, he not only has a gentle temper, but also has a delicate face. Recently, he has become a favorite among young people. Judging from the stars, his face is obviously a very popular type.
"Thank you, Uncle Cheng." Bai Yanliang stood up, shook hands with Dr. Cheng, 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." Dr. Cheng looked at this The young man reached out and patted Bai Yanliang on the shoulder, and also smiled and said: "Go and take good care of yourself."
Bai Yanliang nodded, turned and left Dr. Cheng's office.
Watching his leaving figure, a strange thought suddenly flashed through Dr. Cheng's mind.
Antisocial personality disorder, good at deception and disguise...
"How is that possible..." Dr. Cheng smiled, patted his head, and got rid of that unrealistic idea.
If all Bai Yanliang's performance was just pretending, that would be too terrible, right? Have you been pretending to perform since you were a child and continue to this day?
Over there, Bai Yanliang turned slightly, and at the last moment when the office door was about to be closed by him, he suddenly smiled and said: "Thank you, Dr. Cheng."
Dr. Cheng was startled and suddenly looked up. All he saw was the door that had been closed by Bai Yanliang.
……
"Xiaobai, you are going to be discharged from the hospital..."
"Will you come back to see me?"
"Don't forget me, Xiaobai..."
Several young nurses eagerly pulled Bai Yanliang's sleeves and followed him out of the door.
"Well, you have to work hard. I will come back to visit you." Bai Yanliang looked at these young and energetic faces and said with a smile.
"Yeah! It's agreed."
Amid the reluctant eyes of everyone, Bai Yanliang waved his hand and finally stepped out of the place where he had stayed for ten years.
"Ten years, brother."
Bai Yanliang looked up at the sky and murmured in a low voice.
"Out?"
A deep and hoarse baritone sounded from the right side of Bai Yanliang.
He turned around and saw a bearded, casually dressed man in his forties leaning against the car, smoking and looking at him.
"Uncle Yang?" Bai Yanliang called out, a little surprised.
"It's okay, I thought I only remembered the little girl but not me." Yang Wanlong threw the cigarette butt at his feet, stamped it out and said with a smile.
"How could it happen? Over the years, only Uncle Yang has taken the time to come to the hospital to see me every year. The work of a criminal police officer is already busy..."
"Don't say this, get in the car." Yang Wanlong greeted him nonchalantly.
Bai Yanliang smiled and nodded. He 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 nowhere to stay. Let's go to my uncle's house first." Yang Wanlong said casually. After a while, he took out another cigarette. Just as he was about to light it, he saw Bai Yanliang sitting in the back seat and threw the cigarette away. , the subject changed: "Don't refuse, I won't keep you until you find a job, and besides, I have some things at my place, it's time to give them to you."
"Something?" Bai Yanliang frowned slightly, and then he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Yang Wanlong's profile seriously.
"Well, your brother's belongings have been kept by the police. It's time to return them to you."
