When Xuan Yongda received the news, he was also shocked.
He is now completely convinced of the "stomach pill" with proton pump inhibitors as its main ingredient and its miraculous therapeutic effect.
Fortunately, the first batch of patients who bought medicine have been discharged from the hospital. Most of the patients hospitalized now have just been admitted and have not had time to buy medicine, which also provides convenience for "cheating".
Since the stomach pills began to be sold, the number of patients hospitalized due to gastritis has decreased a lot. Why bother being hospitalized when a problem can be solved by taking a few pills?
There are also many empty beds in the hospital, which can be used to treat patients with more serious conditions.
Xuan Yongda naturally stood on Chen Xia's side, so he immediately gave a few instructions to his subordinates in the department, asking them to keep it confidential. At the same time, he ran to the ward and checked the statements with the few patients who had bought stomach pills to avoid any mistakes.
Just like that, while Chen Xia was still fighting wits and courage with the investigation team, the layout outside had been completed.
As Chen Xia expected, because the report said that Chen Xia was selling a large number of fake drugs in the gastroenterology department, the investigation team went to the gastroenterology department as the first stop.
At this time, the head of the investigation team, Xu Shuangli, suddenly received a small note. On it, Dean Gu wrote a sentence: "While the snipe and the clam are fighting, the fisherman remains neutral."
In the gastroenterology ward.
The four members of the investigation team dispersed and were questioning each ward one by one.
"Hello, fellow. We are from the Regional Health Bureau. Have you recently bought any pills for stomach ailments?"
"Medicine pills? What kind of medicine pills? Are they effective? If they are, I'd like to buy some. Where can I buy them?"
Well, you don’t know until you ask, and once you ask it becomes an advertisement.
Another patient continued to ask, "Fellow countryman, have you recently gone to buy medicine for stomach problems from a doctor named Chen Xia?"
"Who is Chen Xia? Why would I buy medicine when I don't even know him? There's something wrong with me."
The members of the investigation team felt very depressed.
In this way, among the 40 beds in the Department of Gastroenterology, not a single patient answered that they had bought the so-called fake medicine, and they had not even heard of this medicine.
This made Wu Ke very anxious, because the Department of Gastroenterology was the place where drugs were sold that was mentioned in the report. If he couldn't get any results here, it would be even more difficult to inquire in the society.
Xu Shuangli had a stern face on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart. He was very satisfied with the result of the inquiry. He was really afraid that if he asked something, it would be difficult for him to be the team leader. No matter what he did, he would offend one party.
The investigation team then asked Xuan Yongda, "Director Xuan, are you aware that Section Chief Chen Xia of your hospital is selling a stomach medicine?"
"I don't know about selling medicine, but I do know that Section Chief Chen developed a nutritional supplement a while ago. It's said to be very appetizing. He gave it to patients for free trials a while ago, one pill per person, but didn't charge any money. Section Chief Chen also said it wasn't a medicine."
Xu Shuangli wrote in his notebook: "I gave it to the patient for free, without charging any money, and I had already stated in advance that it was not a medicine."
Wu Ke was anxious. He would never believe that there was no conspiracy, but he had no evidence.
They clearly stated that the problem existed, but they did not charge any money. They also stated that it was not a medicine but a health product, so the loophole was well filled.
He continued, "Chief Xu, I suggest that you immediately conduct a surprise inspection of Comrade Chen Xia's pharmaceutical production facility and seize all raw materials and tools. We can easily tell from the raw materials whether it's medicine or a nutritional supplement."
Chen Xia continued to shrug, casually.
When the investigation team arrived at the entrance to the Plum Garden, they were stunned by its grandeur. Considering they were still living in a small building, only about 30 square meters, the sheer size of the Plum Garden was simply unimaginable.
Wu Ke really wanted to laugh out loud three times, Damn, they caught a big termite and corrupt official hiding in the health system.
Now even Xu Shuangli looked at Chen Xia with a strange look in his eyes. How could a small general affairs section chief afford such a big house?
Chen Xia touched his nose awkwardly. "I spent 1,500 yuan to buy this house. Several uncles and aunts from our hospital helped me pool the money. At that time, I wasn't even the head of the General Affairs Department."
Xu Shuangli nodded in relief, but he was still filled with envy and jealousy.
Wu Ke, needless to say, still refused to give up. "Section Chief Chen, could you please tell me specifically which comrades borrowed money from you? I think this is not a simple matter. It might be a corruption issue."
Chen Xia looked innocent and deliberately shouted, "Oh, I remember now. The district leaders know about my house and approved it at the beginning. How about Deputy Section Chief Wu go to the district committee and ask the leaders if they know about it?"
Wu Ke was choked for a moment. Who did he think he was to ask the big boss?
Xu Shuangli waved his hand and said, "Since the senior leaders are all aware of this, there is no need for us to ask more questions. Let's just stick to the facts and investigate this matter."
Everyone walked into the plum garden, and Chen Xia led them to the small building in the backyard. "This is where I research health supplements."
When everyone looked carefully, they saw tools such as millstones, iron pots, bamboo winnowing baskets, as well as raw materials such as honey, red dates, wolfberries, yam, and donkey-hide gelatin.
Wu Ke felt very disappointed. He was also from the health system and he could see that Chen Xia was really not making medicine. The tools and raw materials were not right.
Chen Xia closed his eyes and explained to himself:
"These are the tools and materials I use to research nutritional supplements at home. Actually, this secret recipe of mine is just to nourish the stomach. It's definitely very effective, but accusing me of selling fake medicine is absolutely unfair."
Xu Shuangli recorded all of this in a notebook.
Afterwards, he and other members of the investigation team went to take a look in other rooms under the pretext of touring the house, but found no trace of drug production.
Chen Xia also pretended to know nothing and let them search. In fact, all the money and dozens of "pills" that had not been sold in time were all kept in his space hospital. It would be strange if the investigation team could find them.
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must seize the stolen goods; to catch an adulterer, you must catch both. Without any evidence, a letter of denunciation alone would not bring down Chen Xia.
Both parties were aware of this, so Xu Shuangli didn't say much. Instead, he smiled and shook hands with Chen Xia:
"Chief Chen, this concludes our preliminary investigation today. Next, we need to report back. As for the results, I'll confirm that they were made by higher-ups. Don't worry, I'll report truthfully."
Chen Xia also smiled and shook hands with the other members of the investigation team. "Thank you for your hard work, comrades from the Health Bureau."
Of course, Wu Ke was the exception. Chen Xia didn't give him any good face and didn't even offer a polite handshake.
