Chapter 136 Duty Memorandum



"Du Danping's melody fragment?"

Lu Ban felt that everything around him was gone with the wind and returned to its original living room appearance.

He checked the assignment.

Within the thirty-day period, Lu Ban must enter the Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, stay there for one night, and survive until the next day.

Moreover, since the side quest was triggered, Lu Ban had to find Du Danping's melody fragments in the hospital before he could complete it.

"When Du Danping got into trouble, this hospital had only just been established and was still in its heyday. Well, considering Du Danping's status, it was normal for him to go to this hospital for treatment."

Lu Ban returned to the computer, looked at the document Song Yunyan sent him, and muttered to himself.

I didn't expect that during the National Day holiday, not only would I not be able to have dinner with my old squad leader, but I would also have to work part-time as a demolition worker and tinker with the trouble of an abandoned hospital.

"Here are all the files and records of Nan Hua Private Yan Chai Hospital. Anyway, let's go through them all first."

Lu Ban glanced at the living room, where there was a mountain of file bags filled with hospital records.

Including financial accounts, inventory records, medical documents, duty notes, etc.

These were left over from the era when computers were not yet popular, and are early records. However, there are even more records in Lu Ban's computer that were left after computers became popular.

It took Lu Ban two weeks just to look at these records.

By mid-October, the weather had turned cold. Lu Ban's movie had been viewed over 100 million times online, and the revenue it brought him had exceeded 10 million. He spent most of his time studying the archives of the Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, and only found time to go out and find an agent to buy the house he currently lived in.

The housing prices in Jiangcheng are not cheap, but an ordinary one-bedroom apartment in this kind of community would sell for less than three million yuan, so Lu Ban bought it directly with full payment.

After all, there are so many friends living in the house. Lu Ban was reluctant to leave, and was also worried that if he moved out, they would not be able to adapt to the new residents, so he bought this place thoughtfully.

Nowadays, it is rare to find someone like Lu Ban who is willing to go through fire and water for his friends.

When the hairy crabs had grown fat and the weather was getting cooler, Lu Ban put down the files in his hand.

"The vast majority of operations at this hospital are fine, and we cannot rule out the possibility of accounting fraud, but at least on the surface, there are no problems."

This hospital, jointly funded by overseas Chinese chambers of commerce, foreign companies and local businessmen, was initially a hospital for foreigners, providing treatment for foreigners. Only later did local people start going there. Lu Ban noticed that the hospital's charges were indeed about 30% more expensive than those of public hospitals, and the cost-effectiveness was not high.

"It's just that there's something curious about these records."

In Lu Ban's hand was a file bag, which contained several memos of the nurses on duty.

If he remembered correctly, this file bag was found in the crack of the wall before. No one knew who stuffed it into the crack to prevent it from being found.

Most of the memo was normal, except for a few paragraphs.

For example... Lu Ban turned to an article published in July 2005.

"The department director told us to be alert when we're on duty tonight because the patient in room 502 is in a serious condition, so we need to pay more attention to him. I remember there's an old foreigner living there. He doesn't look well. He's been to the emergency room twice and could go there at any time. The fifth floor is full of intensive care units, and his condition is the most serious."

"At twelve o'clock, I started my routine inspection, checking the wards with a flashlight. My habit is to take the elevator to the fifth floor and then go down from the fifth floor. This is the most convenient way. When I got to the fifth floor, I first checked Room 502. The old man was already asleep and looked okay. I continued to check other places. When I was about to go downstairs, I found that the light was on in the room at the end of the corridor."

"I found it strange. Patients in the intensive care unit are basically unable to get out of bed. Who would turn on the lights at this time? At first I thought there was something wrong with the circuit, so I went over to take a look."

"Then I saw that the old man in Room 502 was actually standing in this room at the end of the corridor. He stood beside the bed, looking at the ** quilt, motionless."

"I felt a little uneasy, so I asked him why he wasn't sleeping yet. He heard me, turned his head and looked at me, then raised his hand and waved."

"I can't describe the feeling. The way he waved his hands was like a puppet hung by strings. It was very unnatural. His face wasn't good either. It was blue and black, almost like a dead person."

"I told him to get some rest, then turned around and left the room. I didn't know what I was thinking at the time. I felt completely dazed. I didn't know how I checked the other floors. When I came to my senses, I was already at the nurses' station."

"It was only then that I remembered that 502 was the ward next to the elevator, and the ward at the end of the corridor should be 510. Moreover, 510 had been unoccupied for many years. The old man couldn't even walk, so how did he get to 510 and wave at me?"

The person on duty was named He Bisong. According to records, she worked as a nurse at Nanhua Private Renji Hospital from 2005 to 2009. She later transferred to the Municipal People's Hospital and died of gastrointestinal cancer last year.

"It's written like a horror story. Such a record is actually kept in the official archives."

Lu Ban commented on this.

The two adjacent records were very normal, basically describing the patrol situation and the patient's condition that night. Only this one had a narrative tone and there were also traces of dirt on the pages, as if something had been smeared on them.

Lu Ban had checked the patient's admission and discharge records. He knew that the old man in Room 502 mentioned by Nurse He Bisong was named Robert, a major shareholder of a foreign company. Four days after this log entry, Robert completed the operation and was discharged safely. Of course, according to the records on the Internet, the old man did not escape the fate of death in the end, and died of illness in the third year after being discharged from the hospital.

"However, according to the description, the old man was already in a critical condition when he was admitted to the hospital. I didn't expect that he could be saved... Considering what was said in the mission, the room at the end of the corridor holds the secret of life and death. Could it be that this room has the power to heal others?"

Lu Ban speculated.

However, such extraordinary powers as bringing the dead back to life and healing the body are obviously not common in this world. Even in those foreign lands, such powers usually come with a price.

So, what is the cost of this hospital?

Lu Ban continued to read and saw the second slightly strange duty memo.

This is an article from February 2009.

"The weather is getting colder. When I'm on duty, the air conditioner in the nurses' station doesn't feel warm no matter how hard I turn it on, let alone when I'm on patrol. But when I was on duty yesterday, I found something strange."
