Chapter 216: Collect the medicine and resign! [Seeking monthly votes! ]
Do the math.
A patient takes one bottle of medicine per month, and one bottle costs 25,000 yuan. In twelve months, that is 12 bottles.
On average, assuming all other treatment coverage is in place, the treatment will normally take five years. If the results are unsatisfactory, the time will be longer.
So, for one patient, five years, sixty bottles of medicine, plus other expenses, how much would it cost? "One million and a half million."
Leaning against the fence, Xu Hao smoked a cigarette. The smoke flowed from the corners of his mouth and his voice rang out with it.
"Just counting the medicine, one person, five years, one million and a half."
"In the Mutual Aid Society, there were at least eighty patients who came to the church to grab medicine!"
"Eighty one and a half million, how much is that?"
"One hundred and twenty million!"
For eighty people, the cost of medicine alone is over 100 million!
Even if averaged out to every year, it's at least 24 million per year.
The 24 million in 2004 was a sum of money that was not used for a series of investments such as infrastructure, investment, and commerce. It was purely social welfare.
The most important thing is "this hole cannot be opened. Once it is opened, there will be countless 24 million in the future."
Xu Hao lit another cigarette.
Zhao Kang's move was like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. It deeply hurt not only the patients but also the police.
Liu Defa remained silent, and Li Jianye beside him also fell silent.
This gap cannot be opened, no matter what.
Why? Suppose the police covered the medical expenses of 80 members of the mutual aid association.
What about the others? What about the people who didn't come to grab the medicine? Are they no longer responsible?
No need? If that happens, no matter what happens, it will inevitably result in the loss of lives.
That's necessary.
Okay, since we have the mutual aid association’s need, what about the chronic myeloid leukemia patients in other hospitals?
Don't they need it?
It is necessary, but the police have no money and need to refuse. But how to refuse?
You said that they are responsible because of the case? Believe it or not, someone will follow suit tomorrow and create a bigger case! ?
Okay, you compromise again, tighten your belt, and expand from eighty people to the entire city.
good.
Patients in Qiaozhou City need treatment, but what about patients in Jiangsan City, Linlan City, Zhaozhou, Ducheng, Modu, and all over the country? Patients from all over the country are pouring in, do they need it? Are you responsible? What if someone dies after you are not responsible? Where can you get the money if you are responsible? Chronic myeloid leukemia needs treatment.
What about other types of diseases? You say they are incurable?
If there is a fuss, the case can bring benefits anyway. A type of disease has caused several deaths, so we can just cover the cost. It can be said to be very simple.
"The wound cannot be opened, no matter how miserable it is, it cannot be opened."
Liu Defa murmured.
If a country's social welfare is very good, it only means that others are suffering for you. It may be that the country is sucking blood from other countries, or it may be that it is selling everything it has and selling what it cannot sell to private enterprises, resulting in serious official arrears.
Not to mention Qiaozhou City, even Haiyun Province cannot open this loophole.
It can only be put on hold and wait for time to pass, and then the higher-ups will suddenly resolve the matter to cover it up and sever the causal connection.
For example, medical insurance.
At some point in time when no one was paying attention, the drug was suddenly included in the medical insurance.
"Please collect the medicine."
Li Jianye said after a long silence.
The medicine had to be collected. When Zhao Kang said that there were 20 bottles of poison hidden, it no longer mattered whether they were hidden or whether these words were true or false.
Even though they knew it was fake, they still had to collect it and check it again! And this time, they couldn't return the medicine.
Liu Defa paused and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, he said:
"Um."
After consulting his superiors again, Liu Defa finally gave the order silently.
The squadron leaders of several squadrons were suddenly shocked.
"Boss, are you sure!?"
"We have to collect it. We don't have to care about the pharmaceutical company, but our superiors have given the order!"
"The potential harm of twenty bottles of poison is too great. The authorities will take remedial measures later, but the time to collect the poison cannot be postponed. It must start immediately."
"But, if Coco accepts it, what will happen to those people?"
"Then just pray."
"What are you praying for?"
“Pray that fewer people will commit suicide.”
"Collect the medicine. Don't wear the hat."
".good."
February 11th.
Twelve o'clock noon.
As a group of police raided major hospitals.
Some of the wards were in chaos.
Several policemen were holding bags with a bunch of medicine bottles in them.
At this time, one of the policemen was holding three bottles of medicine in his hand and was about to throw them into the bag.
But unfortunately, the hand couldn't move at all.
"Give it back to me, give it back to me!"
Zhang Qian seemed to be crazy, lying on the policeman, using her shriveled hands to exert extremely strong strength.
Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and bloodshot, her voice was hoarse, and she tightly gripped the policeman's hand.
There were passers-by gathered around the bed, all of them were stunned and talking in low voices.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, it looks like smuggled drugs, the police have to take it away."
"Isn't this Zhang Qian and her son? She was quite happy a few days ago, as if her son was saved."
"Why would you accept it? Even if it's smuggled drugs, it was Xiao Zhang who paid for it."
“.”
Listening to the disgusted voices of the people around them, the police and others were extremely silent, especially the policeman who took the lead in collecting the drugs.
He looked at Zhang Qian, whose eyes were filled with anger, rage, fear, and powerlessness.
At this time, she was lying on him and fighting for it.
However, twenty bottles of poison can kill more than twenty people. Once a patient dies, others will surely die with him. It is possible that forty people may die. The policeman was silent for a long while, then suddenly, he broke free and threw the medicine into his bag and kept it away.
"Next."
Zhang Qian's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, her inner defenses collapsed instantly, and her emotions burst like a dam, sweeping through her whole body.
My vision gradually blurred, and hot liquid dripped from the corners of my eyes.
She hugged the other person desperately, trying her best to keep even one bottle.
"Give it back to me, please, give it back to me"
She kowtowed on the ground, but unfortunately, the other party just sighed, helped her up, and left one person to calm her down.
When the person with the medicine disappeared, the last bit of hope in Zhang Qian's heart also disappeared.
She sat on the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, just as she had once looked at the ceiling in the police station office.
His eyes were red, his mind was blank, and his face had no expression.
Even though the police were talking about charity and donations, she couldn't hear a word, as if she was isolated from another world.
Just looking at the sky quietly, no one knows what he is thinking.
Wait until consciousness re-gathers.
Only then did I realize that it was already pitch dark.
The policeman next to him was long gone, leaving behind two hundred dollars he had paid out of his own pocket.
"Mother."
The child was lying on the hospital bed, looking at her timidly with fear in his eyes.
The young child didn't know what was happening, but felt that it was related to him. He was filled with confusion and was very scared.
Zhang Qian rubbed his head, still expressionless.
No one knows what she is thinking.
The result of collecting the medicine was smooth.
The process of collecting the medicine was not smooth.
February 13th.
At this time, nearly 260 bottles of medicine had been collected, and there were still 10 bottles left to be collected.
Among the recovered medicines, not a single bottle was found to contain drugs.
In other words, all these medicines can be taken normally.
But unfortunately, everything recovered by the police must be turned over to the national treasury. At this point, the decision on whether to keep or discard the items is no longer in the hands of the police, and they can only stay in the evidence room.
"Boss, someone committed suicide again."
"who?"
"A man, a sick man, committed suicide by jumping into the river, and his body was fished out from under the bridge."
In the office, Liu Defa looked worried as he looked at his subordinates who came in.
The other party was reporting a suicide case.
They don't even need to solve the case, they can understand the reasons behind the suicide just by looking at the files.
Just as expected.
Falling from heaven to hell, even if life is just the same as usual, just like four or five days ago, people still commit suicide.
It's a headache.
Anyone who had sniffed the air of freedom, even if they only looked out through the barbed wire, would be killed if they were sent back to the sewer.
"No one is stopping you?"
Liu Defa rubbed his eyebrows. He knew that this would not be the last one.
"have."
The police officer spoke silently.
"Didn't stop it?"
"The first time I jumped in, a fisherman jumped into the river and rescued me."
"Then what?"
"Not long after, the fisherman saw the man fall from the bridge again, but he failed to save him this time."
Committed suicide twice.
The fear of drowning is one of the worst of all suicides.
When someone is hanged, the brain will stop working due to lack of oxygen before death. There will be almost no thoughts in the mind and the person will have to rely entirely on instinct to struggle.
It only takes two or three seconds to fall to death. He's gone before you can react.
As for drowning, you will feel yourself gradually falling into a coma due to lack of oxygen to the brain, and you will also feel the water flowing in through every hole. You will also feel as if there are water ghosts around you pulling you and sinking you into the water.
Before you die, you will have plenty of time to feel your death and enjoy being gripped by fear.
Only once is needed.
Ninety-nine percent of people who commit suicide will never want to experience it a second time!
Therefore, those who would immediately choose to commit suicide by drowning cannot be saved no matter what.
"That man has lost all his family, his parents died of exhaustion, his wife divorced him and took their daughter, and he was the only one left to find a way to get treatment."
The police officer spoke again.
Liu Defa listened silently for a long while before he spoke:
"Well, go deal with it."
The police officer nodded, then a hesitant expression appeared on his face.
"Anything else?"
Liu Defa looked up at him.
"Well, boss, I want to resign." The police officer said abruptly.
Liu Defa paused, "Because of collecting medicine?"
The other party shook his head, and after a moment of silence, he said, "A little bit."
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
"A little?" Liu Defa asked.
"Mostly, I feel that this profession is a little different from what I expected."
The police officer said sullenly.
Unlike the expected criminal policeman, Liu Defa smoked a cigarette.
It took him a long time to put away the other party's resignation letter.
"Okay, I understand. You go ahead and do your work."
"good."
The other person turned around and walked out.
“Bang!”
The door is closed.
Liu Defa opened the drawer, revealing four letters inside. He stuffed the letter in his hand into the drawer, making a total of five letters.
“Have you found those charities?”
He turned his head and looked at Li Jianye and Xu Huo beside him, feeling a headache.
The authorities have taken compensatory measures.
Larger ones will involve all medical patients.
For example, medical insurance.
The smaller ones were the local officials led by Liu Defa, who were thinking about how to stabilize the patients' emotions.
They thought about it for a while and came to the conclusion that they should find a third-party agency.
The official cannot intervene, as that would mean a gap has been opened, and they can only find a third party to make up for it.
But unfortunately. "It's ok to let the famous charities on the market take advantage of the traffic, they will come to make a lot of money, but if you ask them to save people, forget it."
Li Jianye shook his head.
From the beginning to now, they have contacted many charities.
But unfortunately, most of them are just for money.
There are not many people who really want to save lives, and these institutions don't have much money.
"With the official subsidies, it can barely cover the normal medical expenses of these people."
“It’s just that I can’t buy imatinib, an effective and expensive drug!”
Li Jianye thought for a moment and then spoke.
Their movements were actually very quick, but unfortunately, the negative emotions brought on by the mental breakdown spread much faster than they did, and the patient simply chose to drown.
Of course, it is possible that even if a charity contacts them, they will still choose to jump into the river.
The taste of heaven cannot be concealed by replacing the mud on your hands with moldy steamed buns.
If you want to prevent suicide, you can only find something of equal or inferior value like imatinib, but imatinib is a high-priced product. "Not bad, not bad, it's good that the medical expenses can be solved."
Liu Defa was very content.
To put it bluntly, the patients just didn't make any profit, they didn't lose money, and their current situation is exactly the same as before the case came out.
The suicide was caused by the sense of disappointment brought about by the drugs, and after the case was exposed, the charity could at least supplement the medical expenses.
Speaking of medical expenses. "I thank you on behalf of the patients in Qiaozhou City, and Mr. Zhang in Ducheng."
Liu Defa suddenly stood up and saluted very seriously.
Xu Hao nodded without being pretentious.
While collecting the drugs, he contacted many organizations, but after seeing the true nature of the matter, he became impatient and switched to another one. This happened many times before he finally contacted Zhang Niu. He simply set up a foundation overnight and took out several million dollars in a short period of time for emergency use.
A large part of this money was an advance payment of Xu Hao’s dividend.
It can be said that it is Xu Hao who is now spending money to support the patients.
Don't even mention saluting.
If it were someone else, and the other party said that he could solve the problem and asked Liu Defa to kowtow, Liu Defa would not hesitate.
"You didn't give the patient an official name, did you?"
"No, we are very tight-lipped about this. We cannot allow the official to take action because of the case, so we did not disclose it."
"When I was collecting the medicine, I just mentioned that someone was sponsoring a charity and made a small donation to them."
Liu Defa spoke.
"Even if there are still patients who are jealous, they can't find the police."
“Well done.”
Xu Hao nodded.
As for why patients still commit suicide even after such a long period of time, we have to ask why they don't place their hopes on charities.
Why?
It’s so hard to imagine!
"Damn it, Zhao Kang left this mess for the police before he died, what a son of a bitch"
Li Jianye suddenly cursed, but then he thought of what happened to Zhao Kang and couldn't help feeling a little upset.
In the end, I can only sulk alone.
Zhao Kang went from an individual, to a smuggling case, to a murder case, and even to the end of the case.
He is a very abstract person.
If we say he was seeking revenge, even more innocent people would be involved.
For example, among those who committed suicide in the past two days, some may be related to Zhao Kang, but some are definitely not.
These are the people who are implicated.
It can be said that he did not come for revenge, but it was caused by individual patients.
"It's just a special kind of psychology."
Xu Hao shook his head and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Mental illness?" Li Jianye was suspicious.
"No, it's a psychological effect called 'projection psychology', and there are many common ones."
Xu Hao thought about it and gave a few examples.
"It refers to the individual attributing his or her own emotions, impulses or desires to others, as if his or her inner "shadow" is projected onto others."
"Oh, I see."
Liu Defa suddenly realized.
"Just like those who choose to have a child after failing in life."
"Then you strongly demand that your child follow the path you envision and strictly manage him to follow your wishes?"
I'm not talking about the average parent.
But it is a very rare type, very forced.
It forces students to have a fixed class schedule every day, strictly regulates the time, and creates various pressures, rather than just talking about it.
This is the projection effect.
The most bizarre one was, "Captain Li, you must have seen murderers in many cases. Their methods of killing are often related to their childhood experiences."
Suddenly, Xu Hao looked at Li Jianye.
Li Jianye paused, then nodded.
“This is also a manifestation of projection psychology.”
"If someone is abused in childhood, some people will develop a projection mentality in adulthood, choosing to inflict the abuse inflicted on themselves on others."
"One after another, endlessly."
"The culprits of many cases are due to this effect."
This situation has also been used in animation and has created a famous meme.
For example, 1000-7.
Therefore, in many criminal investigation TV dramas, when the police and the protagonist see a certain method of killing, they will judge that "the murderer must have encountered such behavior before."
"So what happened to Zhao Kang?"
Li Jianye couldn't figure it out.
“No one has a monopoly on his medicine.”
"Someone stole his medicine? No one except the police."
Liu Defa added puzzledly.
This time, Qiaozhou City really suffered an unexpected disaster.
He was almost depressed to death, and his subordinates resigned one by one, leaving him with nothing to do. "Do you remember the rope?"
Suddenly, Xu Huo spoke.
Li Jianye paused, then suddenly realized.
"Oh, I remember now."
"I had previously speculated that when Zhao Kang was arrested for smuggling, he should have left some medicine for his wife and daughter to take."
"But my wife and daughter committed suicide not long after. There was no answer to this question before!"
"Were the medicines stolen?"
“But why report it?”
Li Jianye couldn't figure it out. He had been thinking about this problem for almost three days, but he still couldn't figure it out! These patients were going crazy thinking about medicine.
Don’t even mention selling it for six hundred, let alone eight hundred.
Even if you sell it for 2,000 or 5,000, there will still be a lot of people kneeling down and begging you to sell the medicine.
But a few years ago.
A group of patients reported Zhao Kang, the only person who was selling drugs at low prices.
No one in the entire police station was able to figure it out. They wanted to investigate, but the informant's name was on the list of the first few deaths, so there was no way to check.
Was it caused by a desire to repay a favor? But even if Zhao Kang was attracted to the other person, the other person should not report it when he still needed to take medicine.
If it is sold at a high price, you may be reported.
But why report a few hundred dollars?
"God knows what he was thinking."
Liu Defa shook his head.
No one knows and Zhao Kang doesn't say anything. Now Zhao Kang is in the detention room, looking happy. He can guess the situation outside by looking at the atmosphere of the police, so even the death penalty doesn't matter.
But... maybe Xu Hao will know.
Xu Huo paused suddenly.
Everything about the case, every suspicious point.
The rope that strangled the person, the smuggling channel, the motive for reporting, the dead wife and daughter, all kinds of problems, the cause and effect. Maybe he will know! (End of this chapter)
