Chapter 309 Monster Hospital (VIII)
President Yan was a little surprised when she heard the sudden prompt from the system. After all, before this, she only regarded this emergency as an inspection project of the system, but now the system prompted that this was the key point of the whole matter. Could it be hinting at something?
She quickly reviewed the whole story. On the one hand, she realized that whether or not they could uncover the full truth of the matter might be related to their positions. On the other hand, she was checking if she had any omissions.
But before President Yan could figure out the deeper reasons from these few words, the acting dean, who had not shown any major emotional changes, finally revealed a glimmer in his eyes as if he had discovered something good, but his tone was always slow, "Why do you have such a judgment on the escape incident?"
This statement was equivalent to tacitly acknowledging the truth of the matter, just as he had said. However, if he just said that he was just guessing, it would definitely not pass muster. Fortunately, he had made preparations beforehand.
President Yan calculated the time, as if he was weighing something, but after a moment he made a decision. "I felt something was wrong when I stepped into the corridor outside the door. Generally, there are many signs posted on both sides of the hospital corridor, with some obvious symptoms of the disease, the names of departments, etc., so the signs in the corridor were not eye-catching at first, until I saw a floor map."
"Oh, is there anything strange about the floor map? A normal hospital has one on every floor, so that patients and staff can follow the instructions to find the corresponding departments and offices?"
The Acting Dean seemed particularly curious about President Yan’s mental journey, so he asked in detail.
However, President Yan noticed that the acting dean only pointed out the patients and staff, but deliberately avoided the patients' families. After all, the patients in the Monster Hospital did not seem to have a chance of being discharged, and the staff should have worked here for a long time before it was opened. So in other words, the original staff and patients here didn't really need to look at the floor diagrams, as those things should be for newcomers like them.
President Yan smiled slightly, "That's right, it's just that the floor plan doesn't match the one here at all, it's not the one here at all, so it would be weird to put it here on purpose. Besides, the completely symmetrical design of that plan left a deep impression on me, so I remembered it at a glance."
After all, President Yan did not stay in the corridor for too long, because she did not know what was waiting for her ahead, so she did not dare to waste time. She could only judge what was useful information in the shortest time. Obviously, the floor diagram was a special point. Following this point, she would find the outstanding employee display wall next to it.
As for the person who might become his boss, President Yan instinctively memorized the employee's face and name, as well as the main introduction, regardless of whether the information was relevant to this task or not.
"In all these years, you are the first newcomer who can accurately remember all the relevant information in such a short time. You have good observation and attention."
The Acting Dean commented sincerely. After all, a lot of the information in the corridor is interference options. Moreover, if a newcomer finds out that this is relevant information, it is impossible for him to stay longer or remember this information with any other auxiliary means. It is precisely because he knows it is impossible that he knows how strong President Yan is.
"But the floor map doesn't show the specific location. How can you determine that it is the floor where the patient escaped? Even if you heard what Nurse Zhang said, saw her face, and confirmed that she was the outstanding employee commended on the wall, there is no substantial evidence, right?"
The Acting Dean seemed to understand that President Yan's choice to speak meant that the other party must have more information than he expected, or even some information beyond his expectations, so he couldn't wait to know what definite evidence the other party had.
"This is actually not difficult. I just chatted with Nurse Zhang for a few words when she left this room, and I confirmed my previous guess."
President Yan did not lie. He stood in the middle of the room openly and let the other party look at him. Because of his personal skills, Nurse Zhang had no choice but to talk to him. Otherwise, under the limitations of the system, it would be unlikely for the person concerned to rush to give clues to the player so directly. However, this was also related to her questioning skills. After all, in this situation, President Yan did not directly ask the truth, but just asked indirectly and chose a few questions that the other party could answer.
The Acting Dean obviously did not expect the answer to be like this. His center of gravity had unconsciously moved forward, but after hearing what President Yan said, he didn't know what he was thinking about. Instead, he leaned back in his chair and began to look at the person in front of him seriously.
A newcomer who just entered the hospital and has not been assigned any position yet was able to make a person who may become his immediate superior speak, without violating the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the hospital, and she even got useful information out of the other party. Such a newcomer has never been seen before. The Acting Dean took a look at her, raised his eyes and signaled President Yan to continue.
"Now that we've confirmed that that floor is where the incident happened, the next thing will be easier to handle." President Yan had nothing to hide now. "Actually, when I first entered the room and saw Nurse Hao and Nurse Wang, I thought the wounds on their heads were a little strange."
"The wounds of both of them were at the back of their heads, and the positions were extremely similar. If the situation at the time was consistent with what the two said, they were attacked by the patient, then the first wound was at the back of the head, which is a bit inconsistent. Moreover, the two were together at the time of the incident. If one was attacked, the other would not remain motionless. How could they both keep the same posture and let the other attack?
Of course, it is not ruled out that both of them were attacked in their sleep, but they both insisted that they were attacked by patients, which means that they did see the criminal's face, or they had prepared an excuse before being attacked.
I think based on the current situation, the second possibility is more likely.”
President Yan raised his hand to indicate that the testimony of two witnesses is always more credible than that of one. What's more, in this incident, what Nurse Zhang said was simply not tenable within the known logic, and she was facing three prisoners who had already colluded with each other, which made her seem even more guilty. After all, two of the three prisoners were injured, and the identity of the victim added an extra layer of halo to the prisoners. Therefore, most people would only think that Nurse Zhang was deliberately evading responsibility and would not carefully understand what had happened.
"Even if Nurse Hao and Nurse Wang concealed something in this matter, how do you judge that Security Guard Guo was also involved? He personally arrested Patient X, and many other people saw it. It can't be faked at all."
"This is related to the floor diagram," President Yan seemed to have expected the other party to ask such a question. Without pausing, he continued to explain, "The floor where the crime occurred is a symmetrical structure. The duty room and the pharmacy are located at the beginning and end of the corridor. If the door is opened, the view may be different, but if the door is closed and you only look out from the small window on the door, the area you can see will be limited. In short, you can only see people walking by the door.
There were two sudden events at noon that day. First, Nurse Zhang suddenly felt unwell and felt drowsy. Second, a patient suddenly fell ill, so she had to frequently go back and forth between the duty room and the pharmacy. Nurse Zhang remembered that after she had dealt with these things, she was placed in the duty room by two nurses because she was not feeling well. The two nurses were very considerate and let her rest for a while, and then closed the door.
Nurse Zhang was not completely asleep, so she vaguely smelled the scent of medicine and was sure that no one had ever passed by the door.
But if she was no longer in the duty room from the beginning, but was always in the pharmacy, then it makes sense, because whether the patient left or security guard Guo discovered the patient leaving and arrested him, it all happened on the other side of the corridor, so it is normal that she did not see it. "
President Yan finished his speculation in one breath, but he was not finished yet. "As for why I think Security Officer Guo was also involved, there are two reasons. First, if he was not an accomplice, he should have passed by the duty room when he was patrolling, and he would have discovered in advance that there was no one on duty in the duty room. At this time, the remaining two nurses had been knocked unconscious by the so-called patient. There was no medical staff on the entire floor, but he did not report it immediately, but chose to arrest someone alone. This is not in line with common sense. Second, if it was really a planned escape by the criminal, he had made full preparations and knocked out two nurses on duty, but didn't he even think of any way to deal with the most difficult security guard in advance, so that he was knocked unconscious by Security Officer Guo alone. Isn't such an escape plan a bit too childish?"
President Yan began to have doubts when he heard Nurse Zhang say that the patient was knocked unconscious when he was caught.
"But these are just your guesses, aren't they?"
When the acting dean spoke again, his tone was obviously not as confident. After all, he had expected that the newcomer this time would be able to see that something was wrong and that catching Nurse Hao and Nurse Wang would be a great achievement. He did not expect that the newcomer in front of him would be able to directly deduce the complete course of the crime.
Before President Yan could say anything, there were two knocks on the door. He looked a little stunned. No one should come here at this time. The newcomers were separated. His other clones did not feel any sudden situation, so it was not the newcomers' problem, but the hospital staff's.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he looked at the person in front of him with some disbelief.
President Yan was very steady. Facing the other party's somewhat oppressive gaze, he did not show any fear. He still maintained his respectful face and asked seriously with a smile, "I think the evidence you need is now at the door. Do you want to invite her in?"
The Acting Dean did not speak immediately, but just looked at her with an unnatural expression. There seemed to be some hidden emotions in his eyes, but he finally suppressed them. He waved his hand at the other party, as if he had given up and wanted to complete the process quickly and send the person away.
President Yan pretended not to understand, politely opened the door, then with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to lead Nurse Zhang, who was unaware of her mistake, from outside the door and walked her in, while explaining the current situation very considerately.
"Nurse Zhang, you've come just in time. The acting dean just told me that there are new investigation results on the patient who escaped last week. He was planning to ask me to come to you to get some evidence, but I didn't expect you to come first. How about you two chat while I wait outside the door for a while?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly attributed the discovery of the truth of the case to the acting dean, indicating that he was just an errand boy and had no idea about the inside story. This not only ensured that the acting dean did not embarrass him, but also ensured that even if Nurse Zhang knew the truth of the matter, she would not make things difficult for him in her future work. After he finished speaking, he bowed and walked out of the room, as if she had no credit at all for this achievement.
Wave your sleeves and not a cloud is taken away.
What was said inside the room this time was not heard clearly by President Yan who was standing outside the room.
However, when she met Nurse Zhang into the room just now, she caught a glimpse of two transparent bags in her hands. One bag contained a stained piece of clothing, and the other bag contained several test reports.
Although I didn't see it clearly, I can speculate that it should be the test report of the stains on the clothes and the physical examination report of the patient who suddenly fell ill. As long as it can be proved that someone did drug Nurse Zhang, causing her to fall into a coma, and causing the patient to suddenly fall ill, creating chaos and confusing Nurse Zhang, there will definitely be a turning point in this matter. However, the story behind this matter may not be that simple.
As she was thinking, Nurse Zhang had already pushed the door open and came out. Seeing her still standing outside, she immediately put on a friendly expression and said, "You have helped me this time. Thank you very much. You can come to me if you have any problems in the hospital in the future."
"Thank you Nurse Zhang for your care. I'll have to trouble you more in the future."
This time she did not explain anything, but accepted the other party's kindness, smiled and bowed, and sent the other party away.
She originally thought that at this point, the invisible task of assigning positions should have been completed, but the system had not made any sound since it gave an ambiguous prompt just now. Instead, the acting dean inside the door seemed to be unable to wait for her to push the door and go in, and came to open the door directly.
"So what do you think about this matter?" Before returning to his seat, the acting dean spoke again, "Why do you think Nurse Hao, Nurse Wang, and Security Guard Guo planned this incident?"
The other party did not explain what changes had taken place in the final outcome, but just from this sentence and Nurse Zhang's reaction when she left the house just now, one could tell that the case had been overturned. It was just that President Yan did not seem to expect that the Acting Dean would ask her this question.
President Yan was stunned for a moment before he chose to tell the truth, "According to the employee recognition column, Nurse Zhang was recently promoted to become a Level 1 nurse in Area B. If the truth of this matter is kept secret, Nurse Zhang will be demoted to Area C and become a Level 2 nurse in Area C. Their goal is to get her to leave Area B."
"As for why you have to leave Area B?" President Yan paused here, as if he was considering the right words. "Perhaps it's because they are planning something in Area B, and it's inconvenient for a nurse who is loyal to the hospital to know about it. Or maybe Nurse Zhang accidentally got wind of something. Or maybe someone wants to take control of Area B from you. There are too many reasons. Without further information, it's hard to judge."
President Yan had a bad feeling, so much so that as she spoke, she couldn't hold back her aura as the president of the association. Because she couldn't judge the reason behind the question from the Acting Dean, she was a little cautious. However, she immediately noticed the problem with her attitude and tactfully said, "But Acting Dean, you have been in the hospital for such a long time, and now you are the highest-ranking person in the hospital. It shouldn't be difficult for you to find out the truth."
The Acting Dean sat back in his chair. After hearing what she said, he couldn't help laughing twice, and seemed very satisfied with the other party's answer.
What a fickle leader. Chairman Yan hasn't been so humble for many years. He has endured it to the extreme. The other party's laughter was really harsh. Chairman Yan was about to make a subtle sarcasm, but before he could open his mouth, he was once again interrupted by the system's prompt.
【bite--
After investigation, it is found that you already have some of the qualities of a Monster Hospital staff member. After comprehensive consideration by the hospital, you are now awarded the position of a first-level doctor in Zone B. 】
The sudden promotion, but this familiar Zone B, and the fact that he suddenly became the boss of the direct boss he had just expected, made President Yan's eyelids twitch twice.
But before she could ask or question, the familiar room in front of her disappeared, the figure of the acting dean gradually became blurred, and a hall gradually emerged in front of her. The huge crowd reappeared, and they were the faces of the players she was familiar with, but they seemed to have changed their clothes in a short period of time, and they were not very uniform.
However, President Yan soon found that he was placed at the front of the group. He was wearing a white coat and a badge on the left side of his chest, which clearly read "Doctor Yan, Level 1, Area B".
Since he appeared without warning, the eyes of all the players who had previously experienced the job allocation process shifted to her chest. After seeing the positions clearly, President Yan heard obvious sounds of surprise.
Only then did she distract herself to look at the name tags of other people. The ones closest to her were President Xuan, President of Top Students, and President of Loan Shark. The name tags on the chests of the three of them all read 'Level 1 Doctor in Area C', and further on were 'Level 2 Doctor in Area C', 'Level 3 Doctor in Area C', 'Level 2 Nurse in Area D', etc. So her title of Level 1 Doctor in Area B seemed even more out of place. No wonder other players looked at her with hatred. Of course, this hatred mainly came from the players of the Anti-Communist Alliance. After all, they were the main component of this huge group.
The faces of President Xuan, President of Top Students, and President of Loan Sharks, who were closest to them, were not looking very good either. After all, they came out first and thought that their title was already the highest. They didn't expect that President Yan had a bigger one. Especially in this hospital with very strict levels, a neutral player with a higher rank than them was not a good sign.
However, everyone's mental activities were not over yet. After collecting all his clones, the acting dean, who had returned to his lazy state, spoke, "Your positions have been assigned. After all, the Monster Hospital has not had fresh blood for a long time, so there are still many things waiting for you. Please follow the relevant personnel and go to your corresponding areas."
This meant to urge everyone to work. It didn't affect President Yan at all. She thought that Area B and Area C were not the same area. Even if President Xuan was dissatisfied, he shouldn't cause trouble for her immediately.
But the system seemed to be able to hear her thoughts, and spoke without warning while the crowd was still in a mess looking for their own area.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for triggering the side quest - finding Patient X who disappears every night.
Task Description:
The patient escape incident last week has been concluded. Nurse Hao, Nurse Wang and security guard Guo teamed up to frame Nurse Zhang and falsely accused patient X of wanting to escape. Now the masterminds involved have been expelled from the Monster Hospital.
However, this incident has had a certain impact on patient X's psychology. Despite the careful care of the medical staff, patient X was obviously frightened and would always disappear when the medical staff made their rounds every night. We would like to ask the staff who first discovered the clues to find patient X as soon as possible.
Tip: Due to the shortage of doctors in Area B, Dr. Xuan, Dr. You, and Dr. Gao, the second-level doctors in Area C, were temporarily transferred. The three doctors also discovered the clues and went to Area B to help Dr. Yan find the whereabouts of Patient X.
Tip: Doctors originally assigned to Area C are not restricted by area during their mission. 】
