The three people in the ward woke up. Sun Jiabao's two friends rolled up and turned their backs to tidy up their clothes.
He was thrown there, twisted in the ground, groaning in pain, the blood and dirt on his body mixed with the gray water left over from the fire extinguishing, making it impossible to look at him.
Chen Aixiang frowned and squeezed into the ward, trying to get people out:
"Don't look at it anymore. Thank you for helping put out the fire. Please get out first and don't interfere with our rescue efforts."
"Someone help get on the stretcher and call a doctor."
Jin Mei saw Luo Qianyu standing in the corner, shrank to her side and said:
"Why did you run out? There are so many people here. If you get hurt, I won't be able to explain to your lover."
Luo Qianyu raised his chin towards the ward:
"Come and see the excitement. I'm very careful."
"Hey, when did she become so serious and responsible?"
Jin Mei curled her lips and rolled her eyes, whispering in her ear:
"We are a small hospital with few doctors. The dean and director are all very busy. The inpatient department is almost her world. If something goes wrong, she will be held responsible."
Luo Qianyu nodded when she heard this. She had heard her say before that after ten years of movement, there were only a few doctors left in the county hospital.
Those who have the conditions will be transferred to the city or province, while those who have the ability and prospects are unwilling to be transferred to small counties.
The barefoot doctors in the brigades below are not qualified enough and need to pass exams before they can join.
The task of managing the inpatient department fell on the shoulders of the head nurse Chen Aixiang.
Thinking of this, Luo Qianyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Chen Aixiang must have covered for Sun Jiabao tonight, otherwise why would anyone come only after the fire broke out?
"Make way, make way, how did the fire start? Is anyone burned?"
At this time, a silver-haired man in a white coat with a stethoscope around his neck squeezed in from behind the crowd.
Many people took the initiative to make way for him and greet him.
Chen Aixiang, who was having someone carry Sun Jiabao, stepped out, untied her mask, and reported with guilt and heartache:
"Dean Deng, the fire didn't burn anyone, but it burned the supplies on the two beds."
"There is an injured person. Now that you are here, can you... help check him?"
She felt embarrassed when she said this and lowered her head.
Dean Deng was very ethical and immediately gave the order:
"Put the injured person inside, and come over to help. Tell me how you got hurt."
"Go get the medicine box if you can."
Chen Aixiang pointed at the two people standing in the corner and stuttered to explain the situation briefly using medical terms.
Dean Deng's pupils fluttered a few times before he asked people to close the door and prepare for the inspection.
The two men were also very scared. They looked at each other, turned around and wanted to run out the door.
How could the enthusiastic masses let them go?
"You have the guts to do it, but not the guts to bear the consequences?"
"You want to run away after you've made me like this? Do you want to eat peanuts?"
Luo Qianyu watched with great interest.
However, she did not expect that Lu Jiuchuan would bring back the police led by Qiu Zheng and the militia at this time.
While they were looking at each other, she took advantage of no one's attention to give Lu Jiuchuan a thumbs up, praising the second half of the play for being very exciting.
Then Lu Jiuchuan walked directly towards her:
"I just sent you to Nurse Jin's duty room, and I saw someone set the fire and locked the door."
“We can only remind everyone to put out the fire and run after the arsonist.”
She secretly complained: The thief is crying thief, and it sounds like the truth.
Jin Mei inquired curiously:
"Comrade Lu, have you caught him? Who did it?"
Lu Jiuchuan shook his head:
"We didn't catch him, and we didn't see who he was. He had his head and face covered. We can only wait for the police and militia to investigate."
Luo Qianyu's mind flew away, and his attention shifted to another very important thing.
Judging from the time Lu Jiuchuan called on everyone to put out the fire, he should not have time to solve his personal problems, right?
Or...he was killed in seconds?
A pair of almond-shaped eyes secretly scanned Lu Jiuchuan. His white shirt was wet with sweat, and the blush on his face and neck disappeared.
Finally, his eyes froze for half a second, revealing an expression of slight disgust.
So, it was seconds, right?
On the night of the wedding, I suddenly ran out to wash my boxer shorts.
She had heard before that...some people are good-looking but useless!
Lu Jiuchuan felt her gaze, and the veins on his forehead began to throb again.
Why do I want to pick her up and beat her up so much tonight?
"Director Qiu, you guys came just in time, otherwise I would have to ask someone to report the case."
The door of the ward opened again, and Dean Deng came out shaking his head. Seeing Qiu Zheng was like seeing a life-saving straw.
Qiu Zheng was still standing by the door, listening to his police and militia investigating the arsonist among the masses.
Arson in a hospital is no small matter. It is very likely an attack by enemy agents. Many militiamen have also arrived, and the scene is in chaos.
When everyone heard what Dean Deng said, they all quieted down and looked at him.
Qiu Zhengying went over and asked:
"President Deng, is it the arsonist? Have you found anything?"
"Ah? What arsonist? Someone set a fire?" Dean Deng was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted.
Pointing at the two men who were huddled in the corner:
"I'm not talking about arson, I'm talking about hooliganism. These two people were in our hospital and they abused Sun Jiabao."
"Oh, that's so pitiful! I guess it won't be usable anymore after the back is sewn up. I have to use sanitary products like women every day."
The two men were both of considerable stature, and Sun Jiabao had specially brought them here, otherwise he wouldn't have been treated like this.
Hearing him say that, I was so scared that my legs went limp, and I turned against him with a sad face:
"It's none of our business. Sun Jiabao invited us here..."
One of them spotted Luo Qianyu and Lu Jiuchuan and shouted:
"They, they..."
Luo Qianyu saw that the situation was not good, so he raised his hand when the man spoke, and said in a clear voice:
"My wife and I can testify for them that it was Sun Jiabao who invited them to come over to play, and they probably didn't know about it."
After she said that, the two men were not stupid and immediately stopped talking.
She continued:
"Sun Jiabao suddenly came back to the ward tonight and brought some good food and wine. He said he wanted to treat us to a meal to apologize. Director Qiu even saw him."
"Then Sun Jiabao said he wanted to use the ward tonight and kicked us out. I refused to agree, so he kept asking for more money and said he would give us money."
"Later, he said it was 300 yuan, 150 yuan of which was written as an IOU. He even threatened us with our identities so that we wouldn't spoil his fun. So we had no choice but to accept the money and leave."
"After we left, these two comrades came. I was curious so I watched secretly. Who would have known... who would have known that Sun Jiabao fed these two comrades something unclean."
"I was very scared. My wife took me to the duty room of nurse Jin Mei and prepared to report to the police. Then we found out that there was a fire..."
"Director Qiu, I'll leave the money and the IOU to you. I was so scared at the time that I forgot to ask Lu Jiuchuan to take them over."
She said one thing after another, completing the timeline perfectly, and also brought in Qiu Zheng, Jin Mei and others to testify.
The amount of money taken out matched, and the IOU also had Sun Jiabao's fingerprints on it.
Lu Jiuchuan went on to say that when he came out of the duty room and saw the arsonist, Qiu Zheng and the militia knew everything that happened afterwards.
He added fuel to the fire at the end:
"The arsonist has not been found yet. He is very likely an enemy spy and may be related to Sun Jiabao's case."
