Chapter 246 Then and Today
Before getting off the bus, Fang Qing handed each of them an ID.
"...a claims adjuster from Beiyuan City Harmony Insurance Company."
Li Muhan looked at the ID cards. The three of them were now insurance claims adjusters. It had to be said that there was some difference from their previous identities.
"Although the Special Management Bureau holds a high position among Chinese government agencies, it is, after all, a special department that cannot be known to the public. If the senior officials of the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs refuse to cooperate with us, then we will have to find another way."
Fang Qing took off his coat in the driver's seat and put on a suit.
Li Muhan and Yin Qi were already wearing suits from the Special Management Bureau, so now they only needed to take off their cotton coats.
After everything was ready, the three of them entered the Beiyuan City First People's Hospital.
"Luo Xue? Yes, the girl who died yesterday morning was indeed called this name. I have a deep impression of her."
The head of the department was a very young female doctor. She first looked at the identity information of the three people, and then spoke while retrieving the information on the computer.
"Her cause of death was due to soft tissue contusions all over her body, extensive bone fractures, and excessive bleeding."
The doctor said as he looked at the report on the screen.
"Is it because of some strange disease? Or is it caused by external forces?"
Li Muhan asked.
The female doctor pushed her glasses, looked at the screen again, and finally frowned and shook her head.
"The doctors and nurses who treated Luo Xue yesterday are all on leave. It seems they suffered some kind of mental trauma. After the police came to question them, the hospital let them go home and rest. I really can't provide any more information."
"Can I see Luo Xue's body?"
Yoongi asked.
The female doctor raised her eyes and looked at the three people suspiciously.
"You...insurance investigators have the right to view a body?"
Li Muhan and Fang Qing looked at each other, and seemed not to understand this very well.
But Yin Qi remained calm and said, "If the circumstances of death are questionable, responsibility cannot be determined, and the compensation amount is large, we have the right to request an autopsy."
Li Muhan was stunned. He didn't expect that this little girl really understood.
"...But, the body is not in the hospital right now. The police have immediately transferred it to the forensic department for an autopsy. If you want to see it, I'm afraid you will need to go to the police station and go through the relevant procedures. I know this may cause inconvenience to your work, but this is a legal procedure and we must comply."
Fang Qing frowned slightly and sighed inwardly.
Their purpose was to avoid formal negotiations with the police, otherwise why would they go through so much trouble to come to the hospital.
If we could cooperate smoothly with law enforcement agencies, things wouldn't be so complicated.
"etc,"
Just as everyone was about to leave, the female doctor seemed to recall something important. She quickly added, "Last night, one of our nurses insisted she witnessed something unusual—a monster. Of course, I know that this might seem unbelievable, even a bit absurd, to an insurance company like yours. Sorry, this is the only clue I can offer."
Li Muhan immediately grasped this potentially crucial piece of information and asked, "Could you provide the nurse's contact information so we can learn more?"
However, the doctor shook his head helplessly and explained, "I'm sorry, but according to our policies and privacy regulations, the hospital cannot disclose the personal contact information of our employees. Even if you are an investigator appointed by the insurance company, unless you can provide documents issued by the police, this is beyond my authority."
After leaving the hospital, Fang Qing sighed, took out his cigarette case and lighter, and lit a cigarette with difficulty in the wind and snow in Beiyuan City.
"Want one?"
He handed the cigarette box to Li Muhan, who just waved his hand and said nothing.
"What now?"
Yoongi asked.
"The female nurse who saw the monster should be the key. If we can get her to prove that this incident wasn't caused by human intervention, we can convince the Ministry of Public Security to hand this matter over to the Special Management Bureau for handling."
Li Muhan told his next plan.
Just when Fang Qing asked him how to find the nurse, Li Muhan's phone rang.
"Ziyu, how is it?"
The person who called was Zi Yu, but it was Li Muchan who spoke first. Yin Qi seemed to understand what Li Muchan was going to do, but Fang Qing was still confused.
"I've checked, Captain. Luo Xue is in the First Surgery Department of Beiyuan City First People's Hospital. Six nurses were involved in Luo Xue's care yesterday."
"Can you reduce the scope a bit?"
Li Muhan asked.
"Of course, who do you think I am, Captain? I always do my job first."
Lin Ziyu's voice tinged with pride, as if he were showing off his accomplishments. Li Muhan simply rolled his eyes and said with a hint of impatience, "Don't keep me in suspense. It's really cold in Beiyuan City. Let's get this sorted quickly so I can go home for the New Year."
"Well, although Luo Xue's care was provided by six nurses, all of whom are now resting at home, one of them did have a special case. Not only did she participate in the care, but she also went to the hospital's psychiatric department for treatment. I've reviewed the psychiatric records, and she mentioned seeing a monster when describing her experience that night."
"That's the person we are looking for." Li Muhan nodded affirmatively.
"The nurse's name is Lu Xian. I have sent you her home address via text message." As soon as Lin Ziyu finished speaking, Li Muhan checked his mobile phone and found that he had indeed received the detailed address sent by Lin Ziyu.
"Well done, Ziyu." Li Muhan said approvingly, feeling satisfied with Lin Ziyu's efficiency.
However, Fang Qing frowned and questioned worriedly: "This doesn't seem to comply with the regulations."
"There are no rules. If we had followed the rules perfectly, we would be cozying up at home preparing for the New Year instead of being out here in the cold."
Li Muhan retorted, emphasizing the urgency of the current situation.
When the female doctor just said that a nurse had witnessed an abnormal situation, he knew that the other party would definitely not give him the information directly, so he contacted Lin Ziyu by text message at that time.
At this moment, he suddenly found that Yin Qi was looking at him, and the look in his eyes was somewhat different from the indifference before.
"What's the matter? Are you going to say that I'm breaking the rules?"
Li Muhan joked with a smile.
"No."
Yin Qi's expression returned to normal again, and she spoke in a voice that almost only she could hear.
"...It's just that your style of doing things is becoming more and more like his."
Of course, this sentence did not escape Li Muhan's ears, and Li Muhan also knew who she was referring to.
"Yo yo yo~ What, are you trying to act like a spoiled child?"
"......roll."
Yin Qi glared at Li Muhan.
The latter raised his head and ruffled her hair, and the girl was stunned.
"Don't worry."
At this moment, she seemed to have returned to that day, and it was snowing heavily like now. In the alley, she used a small knife to desperately kill a demon dog that regarded her as food, and she treated the demon dog as food instead.
She was extremely hungry and had spent a month rummaging through trash cans. Now, the still-living body of the demon dog seemed like a delicious meal to her.
But just as her teeth were about to tear into the monster's body, a piece of bread blocked her mouth.
"Once you eat this, there's no going back."
The girl raised her eyes slightly, and the look between her messy bangs was full of vigilance, as if she were a frightened beast.
Then a pair of big hands gently rubbed her hair.
"You're so awesome, girl! I tracked this thing for three days, and you finally killed it. You're quite capable! How about coming with me? I'll take you to a good place where you won't have to worry about anything anymore."
“…”
At that time, Yin Qi was really like a wild beast. She was trained for killing and should not have any emotion towards anyone or anything in this world.
But for some reason, when her hair was being rubbed by those hands and when she heard that voice making promises, she did not bare her fangs at the owner of that voice. Instead, she felt a sense of security.
"Don't worry."
Finally, the bearded man said to her with a smile.
"I'll take care of you."
And now......
"Don't worry."
The young man in front of me still made the same promise.
"As the captain of Team 7, you are my family. I will take good care of you, and I...will never abandon you to face everything alone."
After all, Team 7 is our forever family.
"...Shut up, stop talking nonsense. Who asked you that?"
Yin Qi slapped Li Muhan's hand away. In order to hide her slightly red eyes, she got into the car first and then urged Li Muhan.
"... Let's go quickly, and when we get back... well... after we get back..."
Yin Qi's eyes flickered a little, but he finally said it.
"...I...I was hoping to have a meal with you, Captain."
Li Muhan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became alert.
"Good dinner, good dinner! Let's go to Director Lin's house and invite Director Chang along! From now on, the annual dinner will be a tradition for Team 7!"
“…”
The warmth on Yin Qi's face suddenly disappeared, and then she sighed.
"...What an idiot."
Fang Qing, who was smoking on the side, complained in his heart after seeing this scene: They said that a succubus had come to the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau, and it turned out to be this guy.
