Chapter 822: Chapter 796: Encounter on a Rainy Night, Disturbed Heart (Thanks to Shui Yuqing for the reward 2 updates)
“At present, there really is no solution for this. Indeed, if a ntally disabled patient causes great inconvenience to their neighbors but they don’t show any aggressive behavior, they can’t be forcibly taken to a ntal hospital for treatnt.”
“That’s terrible…”
“Mom, just count your blessings. He just yells randomly sotis. I heard from Brother Fu Gui about a case where an elderly couple was eating dinner at ho when a ntally ill person suddenly burst in and killed them both with a knife.”
“Ah! That’s so heartless!” Liu i’s mom shuddered at the thought.
“What’s even worse is that, after Brother Fu Gui and his colleagues identified the killer as ntally ill during the attack, he couldn’t be sentenced to death. The victim’s children cried their eyes out and protested with banners outside Brother Fu Gui’s office every day. The son of the victims even hit Brother Fu Gui.”
“If he wasn’t my future son-in-law, I’d say he deserved the beating…” Liu i’s foster mother whispered, then quickly smiled when she saw Xiao Qian listening.
“I’m just kidding, we’re all family here, let’s not talk about that.”
Xiao Qian smiled, understanding Liu i’s mother’s feelings on the issue.
Ordinary people would indeed feel that this is terribly unfair, especially Fu Gui’s position, which brings him lots of resentnt. If they identify a fake ntally ill person, they can be despised by these people who pretend to be sick in order to escape the law. On the other hand, if the ntally ill person is genuine, Fu Gui and his colleagues can be resented by the victim’s family for strictly adhering to the law.
When ordinary people hear about such things, they feel outraged. A ntally ill person can kill soone and not be punished by law. That’s really infuriating!
“I feel like I’m a perfect match for Brother Fu Gui. Mom, do you know that the location of the interest class I’ve decided to start is right next to Brother Fu Gui’s new office location? We’ll walk to and from work together, and if anyone dares to vent their anger on my innocent Brother Fu Gui, I’ll kick them right back!” Liu i said, looking excited.
“You silly girl, you’re not even married yet and you keep calling him Brother Fu Gui. Look at you,” her foster mother playfully scolded her and tapped Liu i on the head, making her giggle.
“Brother Fu Gui said that once Sister-in-Law and Brother Lang get married, we’ll register for marriage. After that, we’ll go to the Maldives for our honeymoon.”
“You’re in such a hurry to get married. Do we need ti to prepare for two weddings? Or maybe…”
The foster mother’s gaze moved towards Liu i’s belly. Could she be pregnant?
“What are you thinking? Our relationship is pure!” Liu i blushed. Their relationship only involved so kissing.
Liu i decided to change the subject to avoid discussing her belly. “Sister-in-law, what do you think people should do if they have a ntally disabled neighbor?”
“Most ntally disabled patients are not aggressive, so there’s no need to panic excessively or discriminate against them if you have such neighbors. Just don’t bully them because of their disability to avoid triggering their symptoms. If they have violent tendencies…”
Xiao Qian sighed, “Report to the community, and have the community coordinators and guardians send the patients for dical treatnt. If the guardians refuse, it’s best to move away.”
“Ah?” Liu i and her foster mother both made the sa face. They didn’t know that things were so strange and unfair!
“If you’ve coordinated with the community and the guardians still refuse to send the patients for dical treatnt, they will be held legally responsible if the patients cause harm during an episode. However, the problem is that even if they’re held responsible, you’ll still be hard; it’s better to move away in advance.”
What in the world is absolutely fair? If you were to really insist on fairness, so hereditary ntal illnesses have been present since the mont of conception. Isn’t the creator also unfair to the ntally ill patients?
“Luckily, the neighbor has already sent his son to the hospital. Otherwise, we would really have to move. I heard they first sent him to a city hospital, but because they couldn’t afford it, they transferred him to our county hospital…”
“You an, he was transferred to the county hospital?!” Xiao Qian suddenly realized. Could it be?
The patient she saw with Romantic Delusion Syndro at the ntal hospital was in the county hospital, right?
No wonder sothing had been bothering Xiao Qian when Liu i’s mom ntioned the story. It all made sense now!
“You said he would stand in the yard at night and call out a woman’s na. That woman’s na wouldn’t happen to be iwei, would it?”
“Yes, that’s the na! I don’t know which poor girl caught the eye of this ntally ill person. He calls out for her every night, always at 12:30 am, like a haunting!”
“I, the unfortunate person, am .” Xiao Qian held her forehead.
Midnight 12:30 was just when her Midnight Talk Show ended.
It turned out her ntally ill admirer lived next door.
Liu i also rembered and looked at Xiao Qian in amazent. “Sister-in-law, your charm is boundless. Even ntally ill patients are attracted to you?”
Xiao Qian looked at her speechlessly. “Would you want this kind of charm?”
“Haha, I’d better pass on that. Good thing that guy’s already been sent to the ntal hospital. If he saw you coming to my house, would he climb the wall to find you?”
As Liu i finished speaking, she shivered at her own frightening words.
Xiao Qian was totally disgusted. If soone called her na in the middle of the night and imagined her as their wife, she would definitely ask Xiao Qiang to go out and beat them up.
“What are you two talking about?” Liu i’s foster mother was confused.
Liu i pulled her aside and explained the whole story to her.
Xiao Qian was no longer in the mood to chat, feeling a constant unease in her heart, as if sothing big was about to happen. Perhaps it was because it started pouring rain outside again, making her worry about Xiao Qiang in the mountains. Or perhaps it was because she had just learned that the ntally ill patient at the ntal hospital who stared at her with terrifying eyes was her admirer.
Xiao Qian stood by the window, watching the heavy rain that had rged into a curtain and seed to be saring the window with a terrifying frenzy. The lights in the neighbor’s house, where the ntally ill son lived, were already out.
Xiao Qian tried calling Yu Minglang again, and this ti the call went through.
“Xiao i, are you asleep?”
“No, I’m staying at Liu i’s house tonight.”
Upon hearing his voice, Xiao Qian felt a little relieved. “Where are you?”
It sounded like he was in a relatively quiet and safe place.
“We’ve retreated to the town, which should be pretty close to you.”
“Have you finished work?”
“Yes, we received a temporary notice from the teorological Station that heavy rain might cause roadblocks due to landslides. We happened to stay here to help clear the roads with the transportation departnt after the rain stops tomorrow.”
“…Is this within your jurisdiction?” This shouldn’t be their responsibility.
“There are limited public resources available in this county, and since we’re here to help, it’s all about serving the people.”
