Chapter 19 First Hospital (18) [VIP]

"Hey, I thought you remembered the name wrong," the old lady stepped forward and patted Bai Jinshu's shoulder affectionately, "The imaging department is upstairs, do you want to take an X-ray?"

Bai Jinshu lowered his head and tapped on his phone, then raised his head embarrassedly: "Yes, now that you mentioned that, I flipped through my memo and remembered it. When I went upstairs, I just heard others say that the equipment on the fourth floor was broken and couldn't be checked, so I subconsciously felt that I had to go to the fourth floor to check."

"As for Director Sun and Doctor Fang," he put away his phone and made an awkward expression, "they should also be doctors from the imaging department. No wonder Nurse Xiao Xu didn't remember anything just now."

[Skao really looks like one. 】

【He doesn't always lie. 】

[So Dr. Sun disappeared because he violated the rules by calling the patient out last night? ]

【It should be like this. 】

[Why did Doctor Fang disappear? Is it because once the doctor takes the patient's bracelet and becomes the patient, no one will remember the doctor? ]

[I don't think so. It should be because the "Chen Fei" that Dr. Fang replaced was already dead last night, so after he became Chen Fei, no one became Dr. Fang, resulting in the doctor's position being vacant, so other people forgot about Dr. Fang. ]

【Your words are mixed with you. 】

[Investors are eager to invest. When will Skao fill in the rules to start the second round of financing? 】

In the corner of the corridor, Lu Changfeng took the initiative to walk towards Doctor Fang: "It's normal that everyone forgot who Doctor Fang was after you became Chen Fei, but why was 'Xiao Liu and Xiao Li' also forgotten?"

"Don't make a noise," Doctor Fang covered his abdomen with one hand and stared at the screen of his mobile phone intently. "Ask me later."

Lu Changfeng: "Ah? You need to make an appointment to ask a question?"

Why does Dr. Fang answer whatever his brother asks, but only waits until it’s his turn to ask?

"Because I was playing games," Doctor Fang said, obviously angry at Lu Changfeng for his harsh treatment before, without even raising his head. "The sound of people talking would disrupt my thoughts."

"What kind of game is this? Are the requirements so strict?" Lu Changfeng leaned over in disbelief. A big English word popped up on the screen of Chen Fei's phone.

"unbelievable!"

Lu Changfeng collapsed: "Are you having fun playing Candy Crush???"

What's there to concentrate on!

"There is a step limit, don't make noise." Dr. Fang slid his fingers on the phone a few times, and a string of cheerful English words came out from the speaker.

“Excellent!”

“amazing!”

"crazy!"

There was a large blank space on the screen.

There were not many steps left, so Dr. Fang tapped his fingers quickly and narrowly eliminated the last ice cube in the last step.

The settlement interface popped up on the screen, and Samsung cleared the level.

"Okay," he took a deep breath and looked up at Lu Changfeng, "Ask whatever you want to ask."

His sudden cooperation made it difficult for Lu Changfeng to deal with him.

"I say, since you disappeared from other people's memories after you became Chen Fei, then why don't they remember 'Xiao Liu and Xiao Li' now? Why did they disappear too?"

"Xiao Liu and Xiao Li?" Doctor Fang raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Oh, who told you that they disappeared?"

"Then..." Lu Changfeng was about to repeat the conversation he had just heard from his brother Ao.

Just then, he saw Dr. Fang rummaging through his pocket and taking out two paper figures.

"Isn't it here?" He held it in his palm and handed it to Lu Changfeng, "This is Xiao Liu, and this is Xiao Li."

Lu Changfeng slowly lowered his head and looked at the two paper figures.

It was clearly a uniform template for a paper figurine, with green bean eyes casually dotted with a ballpoint pen, big blush drawn with a liner, and rough and casual clothing and hairstyle, but he actually saw a little bit of the outline of the two nurses who appeared when Chen Fei was carried away yesterday.

"Have you finished reading?" Doctor Fang closed his hands and put the two paper figures back into his pocket. "Move aside if you're done. I still need to continue playing games."

"No, you..." Lu Changfeng was speechless, "Why don't you explain what's going on? You are now one of the patients, right? What's the matter with hiding the rules?"

Doctor Fang looked up at him and said, "It's not that I don't want to talk about it."

He nodded his head and said, "I've already said that after I became 'Fade Chen', many of my memories about the origins of the hospital became very vague. All I remember are the rules that were clearly stated."

"As for things outside the rules, I only remember some not-so-deep details. If you ask me about the rest, I can't answer them now."

Lu Changfeng looked confused: "What about 'Xiao Liu and Xiao Li'?"

Doctor Fang looked like he didn't want to talk any more: "I just remember that they became like this now, but I can't remember how they became like this."

"Instead of asking me here, why not go and listen to what your brother Ao is talking about?" He pointed at Scarao who was not far away. "Listen, he has already started to inquire about the past of this hospital."

Lu Changfeng quickly looked up.

Not far away, Scario had already made the aunt laugh heartily.

"You used to live in the area below the First Hospital, near the market. Our old house was also there. So now that I am old, I don't like going to other hospitals. I like to come here for checkups," the old lady pulled the old man and observed Skao for a long time. "Hey, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known. Now that you mention it, he looks a little familiar. He looks like the grandson of Old Chen's family. Isn't that right, old man?"

"Everyone looks like Old Chen's grandson," the old man looked for a long time and finally made a final conclusion, "Old Chen's son was ugly to begin with, how could he possibly give birth to such a good-looking grandson."

"My family originally rented a house there, but we only rented it for half a year before my father's company allocated a house, so we moved out," Bai Jin recounted the story as if it were real. "My father wouldn't let me skip homework and play with the other kids in the compound. You must not be familiar with me."

"Oh, that's it." The aunt looked away regretfully.

"Oh yeah, I just remembered it when I heard uncle say that," Bai Jinshu said with a curious look, "I remember something happened in this hospital when I was a child. It seemed that it was because of that incident that my father hurriedly chose a house in the company and moved away. After I grew up, I was always curious about what happened."

He remembered the old man complaining, "I told you this hospital is unsafe."

What happened that could be described as "unsafe"?

"Um..." The old lady started talking. Just as she was about to continue counting, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Hey, am I disturbing you during the examination? You are going to take an X-ray, right?"

"You need to call a number to take the X-ray," Bai Jinshu smiled, "I asked my friend who stayed with me to get a number for me. I came a little late, and there were more than 50 people ahead of me."

Doctor Fang reacted quickly and pulled Lu Changfeng.

Lu Changfeng was inexplicably dragged behind the wall by him. Just as he was about to question him, he heard his brother Ao's voice: "It's the friend with the scar on his face. He's here to keep me company."

Lu Changfeng stood behind the wall and looked at Dr. Fang as if he had seen a ghost: "Didn't you say that the sound of talking would affect your game playing?"

Then he is so successful in playing Candy Crush, and can even hear his brother Ao talking?

Doctor Fang: "You're so noisy, I can't hear what Scarao is saying."

Lu Changfeng: ...

Lu Changfeng closed his mouth reluctantly.

"Oh, oh," the old lady looked around and didn't see the fat man with the scar on his face. "Old man, why don't you tell me?"

"Tsk," the old man laughed, "Fangfang is already at the hospital entrance, I'm holding a bunch of medicine, and you're still here chatting with people."

"I'll take you two down." Bai Jinshu said very politely and immediately took the things from the old man's hand.

"It's not impossible to tell you about it," the old man's expression changed immediately, and he looked very interested. It seemed that people of the same family were alike. His talkativeness was no different from that of the old lady. "Your father probably moved away because the situation in front of the hospital was too unpleasant."

"The family of the deceased ran to the hospital gate and hung banners. They also found people to block the doctors' cars going to and from get off work. Later, they even pulled the body directly to the hospital gate. Everyone would think it was bad luck and a sin."

He shook his head, looking disapproving. "I've always said that this hospital is unsafe and has hidden dangers, but this old woman just doesn't believe me. It was because of a misdiagnosis in this hospital. A doctor made a mistake in his diagnosis and misdiagnosed a healthy patient as having cancer. That's why this happened."

Bai Jinshu followed the two old men downstairs and winked at Lu Changfeng, asking them not to follow him for the time being and to come back later.

Lu Changfeng felt extremely aggrieved and could only turn around and stay with Dr. Fang, continuing to watch him play Candy Crush Saga.

"Hey, why don't you take this piece? You're stupid!" He pointed and said with a smile.

"You're stupid," Doctor Fang hit back mercilessly. With a flick of his finger, five pieces of paper disappeared from the screen. "If I had just deleted that piece, these five pieces would have scattered."

*

In the consumption corridor, Bai Jinshu followed the two elderly people closely.

"Where was I just talking about? Oh, yes, a misdiagnosis of cancer." The old man recalled as he walked down the stairs.

"You can't just ignore your son's cancer, can you? The family is not wealthy and has little savings. In order to treat the disease, they sold everything they had, including their newly bought house, borrowed money from all relatives, and finally started praying to the gods. They tried everything, but there was no improvement. The son's marriage was called off, and the daughter's job transfer also fell through."

Bai Jinshu frowned slightly.

Misdiagnosis.

So-called misdiagnosis, doesn’t it mean that people who are not patients are diagnosed as patients?

This is very similar to the exploration team members who came in healthy but were labeled as patients.

The three of them walked out of the stairs, and the old man stretched his legs and continued, "No matter how much chemotherapy he took, his condition didn't improve. The misdiagnosed young man prayed to gods and Buddhas like a madman. He prayed to whatever spirits others said he could find, and even practiced qigong. In the end, it seemed that he got involved with a group of not-so-clean people, and he became crazy and not as spiritual as before."

"One time, his family went out to work. When they came back, his body was cold in his room. There was a circle of candles around his body. It was an extremely weird scene. At that time, his family was broke because of his medical treatment. It was impossible for him to kill for money. The family called the police. After the police came to see him, they said it was suicide. The family didn't believe it. They said that after he got cancer, he wanted to live more than anyone else. How could he commit suicide?"

"The police were so annoyed that they finally said that if that was the case, the medical examiner could do an autopsy to find out the cause of death. The family was unwilling to accept this, so they agreed."

Hearing this, Bai Jinshu had already vaguely guessed what was going to happen next: "So after the forensic autopsy..."

"It was discovered that he didn't have cancer at all," the old man concluded. "The cause of death was suicide, but he didn't have cancer at all!"

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for a family that had sold everything they had to pay for medical treatment.

"It's really pitiful," the auntie interrupted, "I remember that family lived above Caishikou, not far from us. After I had Fangfang, I couldn't stand listening to these things."

"But the person is dead, the money has been spent, and the family is ruined. What can we do?" The old man also sighed. "The family members were devastated when they learned the truth. They held banners outside the hospital demanding compensation, saying it was a medical malpractice. But the forensic examination showed that the person committed suicide, and did not die in the hospital. How could the hospital possibly pay compensation?"

"That family was stubborn too. They started by hanging banners at the hospital entrance, then got people to block the road to prevent other patients and doctors from entering or leaving. The police came several times," the aunt said nearby. "I remember that at that time, many shops in the nearby vegetable market were closed because cars couldn't get in because of the road being blocked by the hospital."

"That's right," the old man nodded. "In the end, the bodies of that family were brought in and placed outside the hospital. It was the hottest time of the year and the bodies were already stinking but they were not taken away. During that time, many people couldn't stand it and moved away or went to live with relatives. I guess your father moved because of this."

"Hey, I saw Fangfang's car." The aunt suddenly interrupted him, "Young man, thank you for taking us down. Parking is not allowed in front of the hospital. We have to go there quickly."

"Okay," Bai Jinshu put away the thousands of thoughts in his mind and nodded to the aunt, "Then goodbye uncle, goodbye aunt."

"Goodbye to you too." The two old men hurried out of the hospital, got into a white Volkswagen and left, leaving Bai Jinshu alone standing at the hospital entrance, looking thoughtful.

"Brother Ao!" Lu Changfeng's voice came from behind. Bai Jinshu turned around and saw him waving at him from afar. "Did you send those two old men away?"

What does it mean to send away...

"...That's called leaving the hospital," Bai Jinshu held his forehead and couldn't help but correct him, "Don't keep using such ambiguous words."

"There is something wrong with your language system, Chef Noodles."

"Uh... I'll be careful next time," Lu Changfeng pouted a few times, "Brother Ao, what did you find out about this hospital?"

"There may be clues related to the identity of our patient," Bai Jinshu said without hesitation, "Let's go back and change clothes. Let's go outside the hospital."

They are still wearing hospital gowns, which are certainly not suitable for going out.

"Hey? Is Doctor Fang going too?" Lu Changfeng kept glancing back.

"Go ahead, why shouldn't I go?" Noticing that Bai Jinshu's eyes were following him, Doctor Fang immediately put away his phone and said righteously, "It is our duty to study the hospital rules."

"You're just afraid that Yang Pei will kill you if you stay in the hospital alone..." Lu Changfeng twitched his lips, "You speak so righteously."

"Anyway, I'm Chen Fei now," Doctor Fang spread his hands. "You're what, a foundation, right? Isn't it just to explore the rules?"

"Let him follow," Bai Jinshu interrupted Lu Changfeng's reading and said, "Just don't get in the way."

He only cured Lu Changfeng 30% of his condition, so it was indeed unsafe for Dr. Fang to stay in the hospital alone now.

"Then I won't hesitate," Doctor Fang said with a smile, "Lend me a coat. Yang Pei is on the eighth floor now, and I don't dare go back to change clothes."

Bai Jin said: "I don't have an extra coat."

He closed the door of his ward as a matter of course, leaving only Lu Changfeng and Dr. Fang standing in the corridor.

"Let's go." Doctor Fang said seriously.

Lu Changfeng: “Ah?”

He looked at the ward door in front of him that was mercilessly closed by his brother, and then looked at Doctor Fang: "Can I borrow it?"

Doctor Fang nodded as a matter of course.

Lu Changfeng: ...

Investors:

[Doctor Fang...you are really narrow-minded...]

[He is always vindictive. ]

[Changfeng, you should be more careful... Look at how quickly your brother Ao reacts. ]

【Lu Changfeng: Dim sum? What kind of dim sum? 】

[I'm desperate. Skao and Lu Changfeng have eight buckets of wisdom in total. Skao has one bucket, and Lu Changfeng owes two buckets.]

[Lu Changfeng's mind is like Schrödinger's. Sometimes he is very smart and clings to Xiao Ao's thigh, and sometimes he is very confused and speechless after being tricked by Doctor Fang.]

…

*

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, three passengers who had just taken a taxi from the First Hospital got out of a taxi in front of Caishikou.

Doctor Fang was wearing Lu Changfeng's coat. The difference in their body shapes was too big, so the coat, which fit Lu Changfeng perfectly, seemed a bit loose on him.

Bai Jinshu put his hands in his pockets and looked around. This was all old town. The buildings were not very new and the streets on both sides were also very old.

The vegetable market behind him seemed a little deserted because it was past the morning market hours. Bai Jinshu walked around and found a fish stall owner who was chatting with someone. He squatted down and asked, "Excuse me, sir. I'd like to ask for directions."

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man behind the stall raised his head. "What do you want to ask?"

When he spoke, he had a strong local accent, very similar to the accent of the two old men and women in the hospital just now. It was obvious that he was an old local who had been in the area for many years.

"There is a residential area above Caishikou. Do you know how to get there?" The long-haired young man squatting in front of the fish stall looked a little distressed. "I came here to visit my relatives. I followed the navigation and drove to the entrance of the vegetable market, only to find that the roads inside were not shown in the navigation. Could you please show me the way?"

"There are many residential areas above Caishikou," the fish stall owner thought for a moment, "and there are several residential areas after entering the alley. They are all old houses that have not been demolished. You can't find them in the navigation. Turn east into the alley and walk south for a few hundred meters. After you enter, ask your relatives to come downstairs to pick you up."

"Okay, thank you." Bai Jinshu nodded and followed the fish stall owner's instructions into the alley.

"Brother Ao," Lu Changfeng trotted over, "If there are several communities, how can we be sure which one is the one where the deceased lived?"

After listening to Scaro's story about the patient along the way, he immediately understood that his brother Ao came here to doubt the rule that the patient must admit that he is sick, which is related to the misdiagnosed deceased.

"No need to confirm," Bai Jinshu walked in front, looked at the gates of several communities, and then chose a relatively narrow and old community, and handed a mask to Lu Changfeng, "Put on the mask, and whatever I say later is what you will get."

There is a big ginkgo tree in the center of the community. It was around ten o'clock in the morning and the sun was shining brightly. A group of elderly people brought small stools from their homes and were leaning under the ginkgo tree chatting and playing chess. When they saw a stranger coming, several elderly people in the community turned their eyes over.

"Hello, uncle and aunt," Bai Jinshu took the initiative to squat under the ginkgo tree and smiled gently at the elderly people, "I want to ask you something."

He pointed at Lu Changfeng and Doctor Fang behind him and said, "We have just graduated from college and started working. We want to find a house nearby. The agent just showed us the house types this morning."

He doesn't look his age, and it wouldn't be out of place for him to say that he just graduated from college.

"The agent said that this is an old neighborhood so the rent is cheap and the house price is not high. I was planning to sign the contract," Bai Jinshu blinked awkwardly and pointed in the direction of Doctor Fang behind him, "but he is a local. After hearing the address of the house, his mother refused to let him sign, saying that something happened here before and there was a haunted house. She insisted that we look for another place."

"I'm from another place. I came to our city through college. I don't know much about this, so I wanted to ask you guys, has there really been any incidents here before?"

Lu Changfeng was wearing a mask at the back and blurted out "Fuck" in his heart.

Brother Ao is simply a genius at getting something for nothing.

Investors were also confused by his lies:

[Fuck, this is a free-for-all. ]

[This is a great move. Didn’t the old man say before that the misdiagnosed patient committed suicide at home? Then after his death, the house must be a haunted house.]

[Skao's idea of ​​gathering information was really clear. The people he chose along the way were all locals with accents, and the places he looked for were also old communities with outdated facilities. He targeted elderly people who were very likely to know about the incident.]

[I just want to ask, is there anything that Skao can't make up? 】

[Yes, for example, my wife.]

[Very good, you have a clear understanding of yourself. ]

In the community under the ginkgo tree, several elderly people looked at each other, and finally their eyes with a little vigilance and scrutiny fell on Bai Jinshu's long hair.

The thinking of the elderly is not really in line with the trends of the young people. After all, people like the old lady mentioned before are still a minority. Scaro's long hair makes them feel that this person is weird and does not seem like a good person, so they can't help but be a little wary.

Even his invincible face and gentle smile were of no use.

At this moment, Doctor Fang took a few steps forward and squatted down. "Uncle and aunt, we are all poor students who just graduated. We don't have that much money in our pockets. The houses in this area are indeed the best houses we can find at the moment. Can you tell us the truth? Can we still rent these houses?"

When he squatted down, he accidentally hit the wound. He grinned for a moment, then immediately retracted his teeth.

Compared to Bai Jinshu, although Chen Fei looked rustic and thin, he unexpectedly made these old people feel honest and reliable. They were actually more willing to talk to "Chen Fei" than the long-haired young man.

Bai Jinshu twitched his lips. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance and asked Lu Changfeng to wear a mask, otherwise, just seeing his long hair would make them feel so terrible, and what about the scar on Lu Changfeng's face? These old people would definitely drive them out.

Fang Shaoning, wearing Chen Fei's skin, squatted next to Bai Jinshu. The two looked about the same age and really looked like college roommates.

"Your mother knows that something happened in this area before. She must be an old local, right?" An old man sitting in the middle spoke first.

He pointed to an eight-story residential compound building across the street and said with disdain, "Did the agent show you 503 in that building first?"

Doctor Fang nodded.

"I don't have to say this, but we all know that the house has been there for more than 20 years. Whoever lives there will get into trouble," the old man spat, his face showing contempt. "It's really unethical to introduce this house to a freshly graduated student."

The author has something to say:

The fugitive vest Jingjin Metal: Put on a bunch of vests while wearing a vest to get information from others

I accidentally posted the manuscript I had saved, so I just posted all the chapters before the wrong one...

I'm really stupid enough to do this. I'll just add more chapters. I won't update at midnight today, but I'll update at midnight tomorrow.
