Bai Mo woke up from his sleep. He was still drunk when he was woken up by Yang Lu last night. He argued with Yang Lu for so long, then he went to the basement and quickly fell asleep on a chair.
The sleeping posture was very irregular, which made Bai Mo's neck and waist extremely sore at the moment.
It was now ten o'clock in the morning. Bai Mo walked out of the basement while rubbing his neck. The first thing he saw was the open door of the bedroom.
Yang Lu left without leaving any message, not even a WeChat message.
Coming to the living room, Bai Mo made himself a cup of coffee, then sat on the single sofa with the coffee cup.
This is where Yang Lu sat last night, and there is no longer any warmth.
The memory of being woken up by Yang Lu last night was still there. Bai Mo had to admit that alcohol made him a little impulsive, and he said many words without thinking.
What he said was indeed Bai Mo's inner thoughts. He thought that after spending a month of good time with Yang Lu, Yang Lu could accept his gallery, but Yang Lu's performance disappointed Bai Mo.
If it weren't for the influence of alcohol, Bai Mo's words would definitely be much more tactful.
It's a pity that there are never ifs or ifs in this world.
There was still half a cup of coffee in his hand, which had already lost its temperature. Bai Mo took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat, and finally sent a message to Yang Lu.
······
Jingyue Home Community, in the study room of Lu Wan's family.
There were four people sitting in the room, namely Lu Wan, Teng Jie, Chen Xiaoxiao and Yang Lu.
Last night, Yang Lu contacted Chen Xiaoxiao in order to help Bai Mo. After hearing Yang Lu's experience, Chen Xiaoxiao first asked Yang Lu not to tell anyone about it, and then said that he would wait until dawn to contact Lu Wan.
At first Yang Lu thought that Chen Xiaoxiao wanted to report Bai Mo, but Chen Xiaoxiao said that she discovered that Lu Wan had been secretly observing Bai Mo recently.
There is another thing that Chen Xiaoxiao has always been concerned about. When she was helping the second team, she accidentally heard a colleague mention that Lu Wan had located Bai Mo's mobile phone.
Lu Wan's excuse at that time was that Bai Mo's phone was lost, but Chen Xiaoxiao knew that Bai Mo's phone was not lost.
Since then, Chen Xiaoxiao has been paying attention to Lu Wan, so she found that the way Lu Wan looked at Bai Mo was abnormal.
Combined with Yang Lu's discovery this time, Chen Xiaoxiao thought that Lu Wan might have discovered the clues a long time ago.
In addition, according to Chen Xiaoxiao's judgment, Bai Mo's performance should be a mental illness, and Teng Jie happens to be a psychiatrist.
Teng Jie was necessary to cure Bai Mo while keeping it secret, so it was better to ask Lu Wan directly for help.
After the two reached a consensus and took a short rest for a few hours, Chen Xiaoxiao contacted Lu Wan early in the morning.
After learning about this, Lu Wan immediately drove off and picked up Chen Xiaoxiao despite the heavy rain. Then she asked Yang Lu to sneak out of Bai Mo's house quietly and brought the two back to the community.
In order to show sincerity, Lu Wan told everything she and Teng Jie had discovered.
After hearing this, Yang Lu was suddenly moved. It turned out that Lu Wan had suspected Bai Mo for a long time, but in order not to affect Bai Mo, she had been observing secretly. It was obvious that the people in front of her were thinking about Bai Mo.
Then, Yang Lu told her experience last night in detail, including the agreement between her and Bai Mo, as well as the mutual understanding that Bai Mo once mentioned.
"Alas!" Lu Wan clenched her fists and glanced at Teng Jie in annoyance, "I should have found a way to get into the basement!"
"It's useless to regret." Teng Jie kept recording in his notebook. He raised his head and looked at Yang Lu, "How far have you developed?"
Teng Jie's words were not explicit, but Yang Lu still blushed, "I didn't even hold my hand. He usually only sends me to the school gate when he sends me back to school."
"Interesting!" Teng Jie wrote two more lines in his notebook.
Chen Xiaoxiao said in confusion: "Doesn't this prove that Bai Mo has no intention of falling in love with Xiaolu?"
"Then why did he often date Yang Lu and tell Yang Lu his innermost secrets?" Teng Jie asked.
"It's indeed contradictory." Lu Wan nodded in agreement.
Hearing the word "conflict", Yang Lu frowned and recalled, "He also asked me this question last night. He said, do you think I am conflicted?"
Teng Jie smiled with interest and wrote the word "contradiction" in his notebook.
"Before we discuss Bai Mo, I have to unravel the crux in your heart." Teng Jie looked at Yang Lu, "According to my judgment, Bai Mo likes you and wants to be with you, so he did something you It’s a very contradictory behavior.”
Bai Mo has never had a further relationship with Yang Lu because he was worried that the secrets of the gallery would irritate Yang Lu. This is what he mentioned about understanding each other.
In fact, Bai Mo's understanding was not only to let Yang Lu know him, but also to know Yang Lu. He wanted to wait until he thought Yang Lu would not resent his gallery before telling Yang Lu this secret.
"But he was drunk last night and accidentally let Xiao Lu see the gallery." Chen Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully.
"No!" Teng Jie shook his head, "He said that he had originally planned to let Yang Lu see his gallery. If an accident happened, Yang Lu could go to the Tea Country to study abroad, so that the two of them could temporarily separate and enter a cooling-off period. And if Bai Mo said that when Yang Lu reaches his height, his paintings can be understood."
"In other words, Bai Mo is carefully planning for himself. He has considered all possible situations and made coping strategies. From these alone, you can see how much Bai Mo cares about Yang Lu."
Lu Wan and Chen Xiaoxiao looked at Yang Lu in unison. Teng Jie's analysis was clear and logical, and even they could feel Bai Mo's attentiveness.
"Then..." Yang Lu shook his head in embarrassment, "Teacher Teng, you mean there is nothing wrong with Bai Mo's paintings. Am I the one who has the problem?"
Lu Wan and Chen Xiaoxiao looked at Teng Jie again. Based on what Teng Jie just said, they also came to the same conclusion.
"To be honest." Chen Xiaoxiao was hesitant. "According to the country's laws, he did not violate the law, nor did he even violate the known moral standards. If an ordinary person evaluates it, he may only think it is disgusting and bloody. Yang Lu feels uncomfortable because the artist of these paintings is Bai Mo, a person close to her."
After Chen Xiaoxiao said this, Yang Lu became even more confused. She remembered how she felt when she saw the hand-painted murder scene. At that time, she just felt disgusted.
Teng Jie looked at Lu Wan, who had a serious look on his face, and asked angrily, "You don't think so too, do you?"
Seeing Lu Wan's delay in answering, Teng Jie sighed helplessly, closed the book, stood up and came to the desk, bringing over some newly printed information.
When Lu Wan went to pick someone up, Teng Jie checked a lot of information about painters. There were indeed some painters in the world who recorded death scenes.
But Bai Mo is different from these people. His pictures are not only realistic, but also full of details. Yang Lu said that some blood vessels and organs are very real.
"In Bai Mo's opinion, there is no problem," Teng Jie said. "I have done a comprehensive psychological evaluation on him, and the results show that he is mentally healthy. However, there are various signs that Bai Mo has problems, so I have recently done some After communicating with some scholars in some academic forums, I found that I had overlooked an issue."
"Some serial killers have one thing in common. They are very paranoid. They think they have a reasonable excuse for killing and believe that the person they kill deserves to die. For example, the domestic violence killer Liang Nan you dealt with believed that he was saving children until his death. I never felt like I was breaking the law.”
"The same goes for Bai Mo. He doesn't think there's anything wrong with his paintings. He thinks they're just showing art. But this is a paranoid cognition that only serial killers have. That means Bai Mo already has the mindset of a serial killer!"
Lu Wan and Chen Xiaoxiao were deeply touched by Teng Jie's analysis.
No wonder Bai Mo can always guess what the murderer is thinking. No wonder Bai Mo understands Lu Yajun’s psychological activities when he kills people so well. No wonder Bai Mo immediately believes that there is a murder case hidden behind the hand-painted painting. ·····
Because at that moment, Bai Mo was them, and they were Bai Mo.
"Is the cause of his illness related to his mother's death?" Lu Wan asked softly.
Teng Jie sighed with some compassion in his eyes, "Jiang Ming has already given the answer. In order to save him, his mother was killed by Bai Ju's enemy. At that time, he had the idea of murder for revenge, so at that time, his psychology was already There's a change, and I think it's an extended condition of PTSD."
Yang Lu slowly opened her mouth. When she and Bai Mo were together, Bai Mo rarely mentioned her family. It was the first time she knew that Bai Mo's mother was gone and died in a vendetta.
Even Chen Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. Zeng Hao, the king of gossip in the criminal police team, had never mentioned this matter. She only knew that Bai Mo's mother was not alive.
Teng Jie continued: "Looking back at the cases Bai Mo participated in after becoming a criminal police officer, he was particularly concerned about Jiang Ming's case, paying attention to Jiang Ming's son, and also supervised Jiang Ming's son's money. I think it was because he took Jiang Ming's case from Jiang Ming's case. We found something in common, they were all revenge, revenge for their mother, but Jiang Ming did it, Bai Mo didn't."
Yang Lu fell into regret for a while. It turned out that Bai Mo's mental illness was caused by the loss of his mother.
Thinking about how he escaped last night, Yang Lu picked his fingers hard.
"I want to know if Bai Mo's psychological problems have affected his police work." Lu Wan asked. At this time, she only regarded Teng Jie as a psychiatrist.
Teng Jie believes that Bai Mo's adjustment ability is very strong and can be understood as a kind of self-psychological suggestion. For example, the last time he shot and killed, he quickly adjusted back. Teng Jie immediately conducted a psychological evaluation on Bai Mo. If there was something wrong with Bai Mo at that time, Teng Jie would definitely be able to find it.
There was also the conversation between Bai Mo and Yang Lu last night. He was able to quickly adjust his attitude towards Yang Lu, but he just thought that the two had different ideas.
Conceptual issues are the key issue in treating Bai Mo. All Bai Mo's behaviors are normal. Except for the murder scenes, Bai Mo has no cognitive problems. He can distinguish right from wrong and black from black.
"One more thing." Teng Jie smacked his lips, "I think you'd better let Bai Mo stay in the police force. His current symptoms are only painting some paintings that are unacceptable to ordinary people, because he has inexhaustible materials. As long as there are homicides, the material will not stop.”
Teng Jie didn't say the remaining half of the sentence, but Lu Wan could understand it. If Bai Mo ran out of material, maybe he would create material like Feng Zhigang.
"The last point." Teng Jie looked at Yang Lu, whose eyes were dim, "I know you will have strong sympathy for Bai Mo after learning about his life experience. You may want to return to him now, but you have to think carefully. , can you accept Bai Mo's paintings? If not, I think you should follow Bai Mo's suggestions, so that you won't irritate him."
Follow Bai Mo's suggestion to study abroad and climb to the peak of painting skills. If Yang Lu can reach Bai Mo's height, he might really look at Bai Mo's paintings from another perspective.
But who knows? This is a matter for the painter. Teng Jie is not a painter. At least he personally thinks that those paintings can only prove some of Bai Mo's distorted views of right and wrong.
In the end, the four reached a consensus.
Regarding Bai Mo's problem, I can no longer tell anyone, including Bai Yonghui. Bai Yonghui, at his age, might collapse if he knew that his son had that kind of habit.
Teng Jie and others cannot blindly contact Bai Mo. Yang Lu needs to find a way to get Bai Mo to contact Teng Jie. This link is the most difficult. Teng Jie must have a reasonable excuse to intervene.
At this time, Bai Mo's message appeared on Yang Lu's phone.
[Have you arrived at school? 】
Teng Jie and the others looked at Yang Lu. They could not decide for Yang Lu how to reply to Bai Mo. They could only remind Yang Lu not to irritate him.
Yang Lu stared at the phone in deep thought for a long time, and unknowingly, his eyes became moist.
Suddenly, Yang Lu dialed Bai Mo's voice call, and the others quickly shut up.
The voice connection was quickly connected, and there was no sound from the other side, as if they were waiting for Yang Lu to speak.
"I've thought about it. I'm going to study in the tea country. When I reach your level, I want to know what I will think of your paintings. Teacher Bai..." Yang Lu paused for a few seconds and continued Said: "Please promise me one thing. Can you find a psychiatrist?"
Yang Lu choked up, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried about you. Psychiatrists keep confidentiality, I just..."
Yang Lu asked Bai Mo to see a psychiatrist on the condition of agreeing to come to the tea country. This was Yang Lu's last thought. She didn't organize her words well at all.
"I promise you." Bai Mo suddenly said, "I understand what you mean. In my situation, most people will suspect that I have a mental problem, so I have been hiding it. You can prepare to go abroad with peace of mind! I will let you know in the next few days. You know my psychological evaluation.”
Yang Lu played the voiceover, and everyone heard Bai Mo's response. Chen Xiaoxiao and Lu Wan shook their heads in disbelief.
Just like Teng Jie said, Bai Mo is paranoid when it comes to the gallery. He paranoidly believes that there is no problem with the gallery itself.
Bai Mo explained a few things he needed to prepare to go to the tea country and then hung up the phone. Throughout the whole process, his tone was exactly the same as usual, as if nothing had happened.
This is what Teng Jie mentioned just now. Bai Mo's self-regulation ability is particularly strong.
Just a few seconds after the voice call was hung up, Teng Jie's cell phone rang. It was a message from Bai Mo.
[Brother-in-law, can you come to my house when the rain stops? Come on your own, I have something to ask you. 】
The three women were dumbfounded. They did not expect that the most difficult part could be completed so easily.
Only Teng Jie looked solemn and Bai Mo could face the psychiatrist calmly, which shows that his paranoia is deep-rooted.
Bai Mo's road to redemption is far more difficult than Teng Jie imagined.
