Chapter 14 Believe
This was a temporarily converted ward. Ma Liu lay on the bed sullenly, his face pale and his eyes sunken. He didn't look at all like the fierceness he had in the past few days.
Seeing someone coming in, he didn't open his eyes, but groaned weakly: "Don't waste your energy here, I'm going to die anyway if I continue to suffer like this..."
"You guys talk so high and mighty, but you can't even solve this little problem of mine. You've caused me so much pain these past few days in vain..."
Su Tong looked at his face, then reached out and pressed on his right abdomen.
"Ah——" Ma Liu almost jumped up due to the pain.
Ma Liu opened his eyes and saw that it was Su Tong. He immediately looked panicked and pointed at her with a trembling hand, trembling and saying:
"You, you...you evil woman, you want to murder me!"
Su Tong looked puzzled, "You just said you were going to die anyway, do you really need me to murder you?"
After saying that, he changed his position and pressed it again. Ma Liu screamed again, looked at Qin Yi next to him in panic, and shouted:
"Hey! Hey! How can you police handle this case? You just watch her do whatever she wants! Where is your system? Where is your discipline?"
Lin Li was reluctantly sent outside for some fresh air, leaving Qin Yi alone in the room.
Qin Yi stood silently by the side with his arms folded, looking indifferent, and obviously had no intention of stopping Su Tong.
Su Tong's other hand had inadvertently rested on Ma Liu's wrist and he quietly took his pulse.
It didn't take a few minutes, and without saying another word, Su Tong nodded to Qin Yi to show that he had decided, and the two of them left the room one after the other.
Ma Liu was left with a look of panic on his face, not knowing what they were up to. Were these people going to torture him in another way?
When Lin Li saw them coming out, he hurried over to greet them, with a look of curiosity on his face.
He just heard Ma Liu's screams outside. He wondered if he could get anything out of the interrogation with the intimidation from Comrade Wu.
Unexpectedly, the two of them walked towards the front building together without saying a word, "Hey - hey -"
Qin Yi glared at him and Lin Li immediately shut up.
It’s not that Su Tong didn’t want to talk, she was just feeling a little conflicted at the moment.
Ma Liu's condition was actually very simple, it was just an ordinary appendicitis, a minor entry-level operation. The difficulty lay in his coagulation disorder, and he would definitely bleed heavily during the operation.
In modern times, this problem can be solved with laparoscopic surgery, which has small incisions, quick recovery, and allows one to get out of bed in two to three days.
However, in the 1970s, it was indeed a thorny problem. The medical level was backward and the medical skills were limited. No one could guarantee what the consequences would be after the operation.
However, if surgery is not performed, the appendix may become purulent and perforated, and the abdominal cavity may become infected, which may also lead to death.
But these problems are nothing in front of her.
Before medical technology developed to a certain level, doctors had to make cuts during surgery in order to see the internal organs and lesions clearly, so the wounds were large, bleeding was heavy, and recovery was slow.
But she has used the latest medical equipment, performed countless operations of all sizes, and has seen almost all the internal organs of the human body through micro cameras and is familiar with their distribution and location.
She can accurately find the appendix, make the incision as small as possible, and perform the operation as quickly as possible.
Ma Liu's pulse was steady and strong. Although he was a little weak, he had no underlying diseases. Even if the amount of bleeding was a little heavier, he could handle it.
What's more, she has another way to stop the bleeding...
Ma Liu's surgery was not a problem at all for her.
Her question is, does she want to do it?
Will Qin Yi believe her?
This wasn't like catching a thief. She couldn't just use the excuse of being lucky. If she helped, it would mean completely exposing the secret of her medical skills...
But if he doesn't help, Ma Liu will most likely die. If he doesn't die on the operating table, he will die of infection. He is also an important criminal for the police, and they still need him to provide clues to solve the case...
Although this case has nothing to do with her...
But she said she would thank him if he kept it a secret for her.
Qin Yi followed Su Tong and watched her walk forward in silence. When she was about to walk out of the hospital gate, he called out, "Wu Tong, where are you going?"
Su Tong finally came back to his senses, stopped, and looked back at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi walked up to Su Tong and saw Su Tong's face full of confusion and hesitation. He couldn't help but curled the corners of his mouth and said:
"Why do you have this expression after seeing Ma Liu? Do you regret arresting him?"
Qin Yi's face was very good-looking, especially when he smiled, but he often had a cold face, which often made people feel afraid and ignore everything else.
Seeing his relaxed expression, Su Tong felt a little relieved. He looked him straight in the eye and asked:
"Comrade Qin, do you believe me?"
She told herself to try it just this once.
If he didn't believe her, she would just turn around and leave without interfering in her affairs.
"Believe it!" Qin Yi answered affirmatively.
…
Tsk! He actually believed it! If he didn't believe me, I wouldn't have to get involved in this mess...
"Why, why?" She couldn't help but ask one more question.
"I have investigated you these days, from the time you were born to now." Qin Yi looked straight at her when he answered, without any avoidance.
This answer surprised Su Tong, "You... investigated me?"
"Yes! The hostage who suddenly appeared during the pursuit captured two fugitives alone. I must find out what kind of person she is."
"Oh! Have you found out?" Su Tong's tone was a little cold.
"I have found out."
"Your resume is very simple. You have had a very hard and difficult life since you were a child, but you are also very smart and... self-reliant, with excellent grades. You dropped out of school before finishing the second year of junior high school because your grandmother, who had always supported you, became paralyzed and lost her voice at home."
"But you seem to have never given up studying. You said that your greatest hobby is reading."
I didn't expect Qin Yi to give such an evaluation of the previous Wu Tong. The biggest labels in the original owner's short life were nemesis, unlucky, ominous, and hard-fated. Not only because several of her fiancés died for no reason, but other people or things related to her were also more or less unlucky. No one has ever paid attention to her studies and hobbies. This angle is quite... novel.
Although it was understandable for him to investigate her, Su Tong still felt uncomfortable. He left such a big case uninvestigated and untried, but instead investigated her, the "hero", thoroughly.
"By investigating me, you proved that I'm not a bad person, and then you chose to believe me."
"No, through investigating you, it turns out that you are an extremely ordinary girl who is even unlucky. However, such a girl helped us solve a big problem and made great contributions, which far exceeded your usual ability. This can only mean that you have a side that is unknown to others. You have your own - secrets."
Qin Yi's eyes were dark and his gaze was as sharp as a torch. "You are willing to help us catch the fugitive even at the risk of exposing the secret. Why shouldn't I believe you!"
Su Tong was a little surprised and his thoughts couldn't catch up for a while.
Although he investigated the previous Wu Tong, he chose to believe her now, the Su Tong who has a secret now. Although the "secret" he thinks may be different from her real "secret", this cognition makes people... somewhat comforted.
Not only does he have a meticulous mind, but his ability to accept extraordinary things also seems to be different from that of ordinary people.
The weather is nice today and the sun is shining.
Behind Qin Yi is a tall holly tree. Looking up from his head, he can see the snow on the treetops, sparkling with crystal light under the sunlight.
Qin Yi stood there with a steady look in his eyes, "Wu Tong, I believe in you and I won't pry into your secrets. I hope you can trust me too.
Now, can you tell me what you were struggling with?"
