Chapter 192 It’s too late to save
"Save the child?" Zhou Yi was stunned.
He didn't expect it to be these three words.
Isn't Su Jun an accomplice recruited by this group? What's going on?
Judging from the conversation between Scareyes and the fat man, it seems that the fat man was responsible for silencing Qian Lailai and Su Jun and burying them.
But the fat guy said that he let them go. Could it be that the fat guy really had a change of heart and let them go because he repented and made meritorious contributions?
So, was Su Jun's knife wound caused before? Or did something else happen?
It seems that the truth can only be discovered by interrogating the kidnappers.
Another thing is to ask the forensic department to perform an autopsy on Su Jun.
Liu Jianshe and Su Jun, two corpses, kept Song Yiming and Xu Nian busy.
After all, as a prefecture-level city, Hongcheng only has two forensic doctors in the municipal bureau.
In his previous life, not long after something happened in Xu Nian’s family, Xu Nian resigned and left his hometown.
For a period of time, Song Yiming was the only forensic doctor left in the entire Hongcheng. It was said that all the police in Hongcheng knew that Forensic Doctor Song would take a detour when he saw the criminal police, for fear that there would be another case.
Later, it seemed that the superiors were afraid that he, the only talented person, would quit the job, so they went to the provincial government to beg for help, and finally a forensic doctor was seconded.
At the same time, they made great efforts to attract two top graduates who had just graduated and trained them for several years before alleviating the problem of shortage of forensic scientists.
"Officer Zhou..." Yao Yuling shouted in a trembling voice.
"Mrs. Qian, what's wrong?"
"Did...Su Jun rescue Lai Lai?"
"This is not certain yet. It still requires investigation and interrogation of the kidnappers."
Zhou Yi paused, then continued, "However, judging from the situation when Officers Li and Wang discovered Su Jun and the child, it's very likely that Su Jun saved the child. It was the seriously injured Su Jun who came to them for help, holding the child in shock."
Two lines of tears suddenly flowed from Yao Yuling's big eyes. Zhou Yi didn't know what she felt at this moment.
But his peripheral vision caught sight of Qian Hongxing standing beside him. Qian Hongxing's face was first filled with disbelief, then incomprehension, and finally a wave of regret and self-blame that was difficult to conceal.
Zhou Yi sighed in his heart. The grievances and entanglements between these three people should come to an end here.
Now he only hopes that Qian Lailai in the emergency room can survive.
Too many people have died in this case, and he really doesn't like to see anyone die anymore.
Zhou Yi called Wu Yongcheng and reported the situation in the hospital, as well as Su Jun's body which had been temporarily stored in the hospital morgue and his only three-word last words.
Wu Yongcheng asked him not to leave for the time being and to wait until the hostage rescue was completed.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask, "Captain Wu, is there any information about the kidnapper's leader?"
Wu Yongcheng said on the phone: "Based on the current investigation results, he escaped directly into the water from the dock. Perhaps because he was wet, the police dog had difficulty distinguishing the smell. We are now searching along the river bank. I hope to find something."
"Captain Wu, have you found any other means of transportation near the dock?" Zhou Yi asked.
"About 300 meters across the river, we spotted a small black car with an out-of-town license plate, covered with a tarp. We suspect it was the criminals' original plan to use it for their escape. We haven't found any other vehicles yet."
Zhou Yi asked, "Didn't you find the motorcycle from before?"
"No. I know what you mean. So there are two possibilities. First, this motorcycle was abandoned by them before. Second, the leader of the gang escaped on this motorcycle before we formed a siege."
Wu Yongcheng said: "I have taken this into consideration, so I have ordered checkpoints at all intersections to strictly check passing vehicles, especially motorcycles. In addition, all police forces in the city are also searching for this motorcycle, model Xingfu 250."
Zhou Yi knew that the battle was not over yet.
Moreover, motorcycles are much more flexible than cars. If the kidnappers had previously investigated and prepared some small roads on the border of Hongcheng, it would have been easy for them to escape.
"Captain Wu, it's almost dawn, and people are starting to go to work one after another."
"Yeah, it'll be troublesome once there are too many people. After all, we don't even know what the other person looks like."
The age, height and hat-wearing characteristics given by the fat man are not sufficient to support the investigation because they are too general, especially the hat-wearing feature.
Even if the police mobilized a large number of people and conducted identity checks on everyone, it would be useless.
Firstly, it was rare for locals to carry their ID cards with them, and the police had no way to verify the authenticity of the information, after all, there were no networked devices and systems like later.
Secondly, criminals of this level travel around the country, not only using fake IDs, but they may even constantly change their identities.
There's no way to investigate, and it basically depends on luck, whether the police officer who encounters this guy has the insight to suspect him.
But this is unrealistic. Not to mention many grassroots police officers, even if Zhou Yi were to go to the intersection to check, he would not dare to say that he could catch this guy 100%.
"Don't worry, we're halfway through this battle, there's no way we're going to just give up like this!"
Zhou Yi waited in the hospital until dawn. Gradually, more and more people came into the hospital, but as time passed, the people guarding the door of the emergency room became more and more anxious.
Finally, Zhou Yi noticed some movement behind the door, and then the door of the emergency room was opened.
Two nurses came out pushing a bed. Lying on the bed was Qian Lailai, but he was unconscious with his eyes closed.
There were many tubes connected to his body. Zhou Yi saw at a glance that a tube was inserted into the child's neck.
"Come, come!" Qian Hongxing and Yao Yuling rushed over immediately.
A doctor in his fifties came out with a tired look on his face.
"Doctor, how is my son?" Qian Hongxing asked anxiously.
"Are you the patient's family?" the doctor asked.
Qian Hongxing and Yao Yuling nodded repeatedly.
Zhou Yi stepped forward and said, "Doctor, I'm Zhou Yi from the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division. Is the child out of danger now?"
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "After our full efforts to save the patient, he is out of danger for the time being."
Qian Hongxing was about to thank him when he heard the doctor say, "Whether he can make it or not depends on the situation in the next 24 hours."
"What...what do you mean? Didn't you say we're out of danger?" Qian Hongxing asked.
"Being out of danger and getting through the critical period are not the same thing. A patient is considered out of danger only if all of their physical indicators are stable after 24 hours."
Yao Yuling cried and grabbed the edge of the bed and said, "Come on, don't be afraid. Mom is with you. Mom will never go anywhere again. Mom will always be with you."
At this time, Qian Hongxing also noticed the tube in his son's neck and asked hurriedly, "Doctor... Doctor, what's going on?"
"It just so happens that the police comrades are here too. Let me tell you about the patient's condition."
"Xiao Yang, please send the patient to the intensive care unit first." The doctor said to the two nurses.
"Okay, Director Qiu." He said and started to push the bed away.
Yao Yuling immediately followed: "Come on, mom will go with you."
A nurse immediately stopped him, saying, "I'm sorry, family members are not allowed to enter the ICU to prevent foreign bacteria from infecting patients."
Qian Hongxing had recovered by then. He comforted his wife and asked her to listen to the doctor.
The couple stared closely at their son on the hospital bed, fearing that they would lose him again by accident.
Zhou Yi noticed the two men's worry and said to Li Li, "Officer Li, Officer Wang, please escort the child to the ICU."
"Okay, let's go now." Li Li and Wang Tao hurriedly followed.
Director Qiu said the child was already in shock when the ambulance arrived, and the emergency doctor on board took emergency measures. After being taken to the hospital, they confirmed the cause of the shock was sepsis caused by a wound infection. The fever and convulsions, which had not been treated promptly, ultimately led to septic shock.
This is a situation with an extremely high mortality rate. They used all possible rescue measures and barely pulled the child back from the brink of death.
As for the oxygen tube around the neck, it was because during the rescue process they found that the child was unable to breathe on his own, so they had to cut open the trachea to connect the oxygen.
But this is only temporary, because sepsis is a serious systemic reaction caused by bacteria entering the blood through a wound. And because the child is too young, they can't use a large dose of medicine, otherwise the child's body will not be able to bear it.
Therefore, the next 24 hours are very critical. If the patient survives these 24 hours, his condition will stabilize, but it is difficult to say how he will recover in the future.
After hearing what Director Qiu said, the three of them were terrified.
Qian Hongxing asked in a trembling voice, "Doctor, if my son had been delayed any longer, would he have been beyond saving?"
Director Qiu said, "It's hard to say; it varies from person to person. But I've previously discussed with the two police officers who brought the patient in that shock is a very dangerous condition, especially septic shock, which typically only gives you an hour to recover. But we don't know the exact time the patient experiences shock, so perhaps even ten minutes later, the patient might miss the opportunity to be rescued."
Director Qiu sighed: "What a pity that young man didn't make it."
The person he was talking about was naturally Su Jun.
Zhou Yi also understood why Qian Hongxing asked this question. He just wanted to confirm whether Su Jun had become his son's savior.
"Doctor, please keep my son safe, no matter how much it costs."
"This isn't a question of money. We doctors have done everything we can. The rest depends on the child's will to live."
"Director Qiu, in this situation, can the child's parents take protective measures and come into the intensive care unit to see their child?" Zhou Yi said. "Parents are everything to their children. This will also encourage the child's will to live."
Director Qiu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, come with me. I'll have someone disinfect you and put on protective clothing. It will only take ten minutes at most."
Qian Hongxing and Yao Yuling expressed their gratitude profusely.
The three of them followed Director Qiu to the inpatient building. As soon as they reached the elevator downstairs, a nurse came running over in a hurry.
"Director Qiu, there's another patient who needs emergency treatment. The situation is very urgent. Doctor Zhang, please come over." The nurse said anxiously.
Director Qiu hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
"The victim's liver ruptured, causing heavy bleeding."
"How did it happen?"
The nurse said, "Gunshot wound."
"What?" Zhou Yi was startled and asked hurriedly, "Who was the injured person?"
The nurse looked at him puzzledly, and Director Qiu said, "This is a police officer."
The nurse said, "He seems to be a policeman too."
