Chapter 22 First Hospital (21) [VIP]
"Brother Ao." Lu Changfeng pushed open the door and saw Bai Jinshu holding the wooden sculpture in front of the balcony to observe it. His voice couldn't help but become a little lighter. "Have you found what kind of bird this is?"
Influenced by Scarao, he immediately registered a Tieba account and followed the Baidu Birds Bar. The post that his brother Ao posted in the morning was still at the top and could be seen by clicking on it.
Lu Changfeng had naturally read that post as well, and knew that the thread had gone astray a long time ago, with only a few veterans left in the forum analyzing it seriously and summarizing it on the last level. He, Ao Ge, had rushed back just to identify what this wood carving was from among all the possible types.
"Found it," Bai Jinshu nodded, "Red-footed falcon."
"What is this?" Lu Changfeng obviously had never heard of this name. "Does it have any special meaning?"
He only knew that mandarin ducks represented love, cranes represented auspiciousness, magpies represented good things, and the guhuo bird represented stealing children...
So maybe those who pray for marriage can pray to mandarin ducks, those who pray for good luck can pray to cranes, those who pray for happiness can pray to magpies, and human traffickers can pray to guhuo birds?
Lu Changfeng shook his shoulders and quickly got rid of this strange thought.
The last bird, the Guhuo bird, is totally incompatible with the auspicious and beautiful love represented by the previous three birds.
"The cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest, you know?" He Ao Ge obviously didn't know what he was thinking about. "The 'dove' in the cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest refers to the red-footed falcon."
If you talk about the red-footed falcon, you don't know, but when you hear about the cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest, Lu Changfeng will know.
Once the riddle is solved, it becomes much easier to guess the answer.
Lu Changfeng immediately and smoothly connected the meaning of "occupying the magpie's nest" with the reality that Dr. Fang now occupied Chen Fei's body, and quickly understood the reason why the nurses and doctors in this hospital all worshipped this Buddhist shrine.
They also want to occupy the patient's body and leave here like the "dove" in "the dove occupies the magpie's nest".
"Fang Shaoning," Bai Jinshu saw Doctor Fang push the door open and called out his name, "Look at this wood carving again now. Does it look like him?"
"Now look at it again..." Doctor Fang came over, took the wood carving and examined it carefully, "It's a bit similar, but not similar enough."
He seemed to want to describe it with concrete words, but after frowning and pondering over the words for a long time, he still couldn't express this mysterious "feeling".
It was as if after he became Chen Fei, someone had deliberately covered his memory of the statue with a layer of vague fog.
"Then first..." No rush.
Before Bai Jin could finish his words, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open by the nurse on duty.
Lu Changfeng shuddered and subconsciously took a step forward, standing in front of Dr. Fang and blocking the wood carving that was restored from the fragments of the shrine behind him.
Will the nurse still come to my house after I restore the wood carving?
All his muscles subconsciously tensed up in preparation for battle, and the investors also tensed up with him:
[What the hell, will someone come to my door after I pray? ]
[Does this thing have a GPS locator? ]
[The nurse suddenly appeared and scared me to death. ]
[Cheung Fen reacted very quickly. Before I could react, he immediately took a step to the left and blocked Doctor Fang.]
Under the tense gaze, the nurse on duty who pushed open the door did not notice the unusual atmosphere in the ward at all. She did not walk towards where Dr. Fang was, but instead walked towards the bed and asked hurriedly, "Do you have an electrocardiogram machine in this ward?"
"No." Bai Jinshu, the only one who remained calm, shook his head at her.
The nurse on duty walked over to confirm that there was indeed no one there, then hurriedly left the room and shouted to the door, "Sister Li! There is no one in Ward 713 either!"
There was another sound of a door opening.
The nurse on duty's voice rang out from the next room: "Do you have an electrocardiogram machine in this ward?"
"Oh my god, I was scared to death." After making sure the nurse had left, Lu Changfeng let out a long sigh. He sat on the stool like a lost soul and took a few deep breaths before he felt his heartbeat calm down. "I thought he came to see the statue... I didn't expect he was here to look for the electrocardiogram machine..."
He almost had a cardiac arrest, and the nurse came at the perfect time.
Lu Changfeng turned around as he spoke, and his deep breath suddenly stopped as he turned around.
Where is the statue?
Doctor Fang, who was blocked behind him, was standing against the windowsill, which meant that he had no place to hide the wood carving in his hand, so Lu Changfeng subconsciously took a step left to block the nurse's sight.
But now Dr. Fang’s hands are empty, and there is no place on his body to hide the statue. So where did the statue go?
It can't be that the statue came alive and ran away on its own, right?
Lu Changfeng suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"Skao took it away." Fang Shaoning raised his chin towards Lu Changfeng, motioning him to look at Bai Jinshu's hand.
Following the direction of Dr. Fang's sight, Lu Changfeng was shocked to discover that the wooden sculpture was actually held in the hand of his brother, and hidden behind the corner of his clothes in an extremely clever way. Even if the nurse came closer, she would not be able to see it unless she was standing in their position.
Is his hands so fast?
There was less than a second between the nurse pushing the door and him taking a step, and Scario actually had enough time to take away the wood carving, find the angle, and then answer the nurse's questions as usual.
"profound……"
"Hush." The long-haired young man suddenly came to his senses, raised his hand to interrupt him, and made a gesture to silence him, "You two should be quiet."
Lu Changfeng closed his mouth, not understanding why.
Bai Jinshu stood up and opened the door. Not far from the corridor, the nurse on duty continued to speak in a somewhat frustrated voice: "I have asked everyone on this floor. There is no 714 or 715 over there. I have also asked the rest before. There are not many critically ill patients in the orthopedic inpatient department, and there is no ECG equipment in the ward!"
"If you can't find it, stop looking," this should be the voice of the "Sister Li" she called, "How many more are you short of now?"
"Five, but I saw another one taken away just now. I guess we're short of six now," the nurse on duty said anxiously, "Sister Li, how about I go downstairs and borrow some from other departments? Otherwise, how are we going to get through tonight?"
"No need," Bai Jinshu stood at the door and looked out. The nurse called Sister Li should be the head nurse. She looked much calmer than the nurse on duty. "You still want to borrow an electrocardiogram machine from other departments today. That's daydreaming."
"It's like this every year in the hospital. Other departments don't have any extra oxygen. You still want to borrow it from them. The general surgery department will come down to ask us for oxygen cylinders later."
"What should we do then..." The nurse on duty obviously knew about the situation, and there was a hint of anxiety in her tone.
"No, if we don't lend it, we won't have enough. What else can we do?" Sister Li said calmly, "Prepare a few more critical illness notices tonight. If the patient really can't survive, send him to the ICU. If there's no room in the ICU, send him to the ICU. Anyway, he can't be operated on. If he goes on the operating table tonight, he won't survive tomorrow."
"This isn't your first time going through this. Just do it the same way you did last year. We were also short of equipment last year, so it wasn't a big problem."
"Okay, I got it," the nurse on duty said hurriedly, "I'll go get ready."
Bai Jinshu withdrew his hand from the door handle and nodded to indicate that Lu Changfeng could start speaking.
"Brother Ao, is something going to happen tonight?" It was obvious that he also heard the hint of impending storm from the conversation between the two nurses.
"What's going on?" Lu Changfeng looked at Doctor Fang, "Does your hospital have any problems on this day every year?"
"This day has come so quickly this year?" Doctor Fang ignored his question and frowned, taking out his phone to check the date. "It really is."
The sound of nurses pushing beds and wheels could be heard from the corridor outside the door. Doctor Fang did not keep the question in suspense. He considered his words and said, "I just remember that something happens in the hospital around August every year, and a large number of patients will have emergencies. Generally speaking, starting from the day before, the conditions of patients who have recovered and returned to the general ward will continue to deteriorate, and then many stable patients in the ICU will suddenly become critically ill."
"Then after midnight, the emergency room will be full that night. Patients with car accidents, burns, fractures, etc. will suddenly come to see the doctor. Almost all of them are injured near the First Hospital. They don't consider other hospitals at all. They just come to the First Hospital for treatment." He pointed at the door. "So every year, the inpatient department is very busy during these two days. We have to prepare the equipment needed for the critically ill patients that night in advance. Fortunately, we are prepared to issue critical illness notices. The whole department must work the night shift together that night. Even so, there is a high probability that there will not be enough staff that night."
"Most patients who became critically ill the day before will not survive until dawn the next day. Those who were put on the operating table in the early morning are most likely not to survive the night. In serious cases, they will not even make it to the operating table. The hospital will then be sued and the doctors will also be criticized," Doctor Fang said, making a stop gesture to Lu Changfeng and continued, "I know you must want to ask why I didn't tell you earlier. This is exactly the same as what happened to that patient on the seventh day."
The more he spoke, the more serious his expression became: "Skao, something is wrong. There is definitely something wrong with this statue."
"It's very strange. I clearly remember that every July there would be a day when many people would become critically ill, and all doctors and nurses would need to be prepared. I also remember hearing with you that old man say that many patients died on the seventh day, many critical illness notices were issued, and many people were taken away from the ICU. But before I told you about what happened on that day, I didn't even think of connecting them together."
"It's like if I don't think about it actively, it will hide in the depths of my memory and won't let me remember it," Fang Shaoning hesitated a little, "I feel... as if after I became a patient and became Chen Fei, everything about the origin of the hospital is rejecting me."
It refused him to recall, refused him to feel familiar, refused him to connect the origin of these rules - the patient who worshipped the evil god and eventually possessed someone else's body - with the statue itself.
Doctor Fang pondered for a few seconds: "It seems that this statue only allows doctors and nurses belonging to this hospital to approach these things."
He couldn't remember clearly what the statue had said when he was still Doctor Fang, but it seemed that the statue at that time was still exquisite and friendly, but the restored one in Skao's hands now was rough and strange.
"The statue only allows doctors and nurses to know this?" The long-haired young man looked puzzled. "Are you sure?"
Doctor Fang nodded.
Doctor Fang said that this statue prevents patients from coming into contact with the origin of the hospital, but the wooden sculpture in his hand suddenly became hot, causing his thoughts that were taken away by Lu Changfeng to instantly return to the corridor with the nurse on duty, and naturally he heard the conversation outside the corridor.
Why is he special?
Could it be because he had just worshipped the incarnation of this so-called evil god?
"I see." Bai Jinshu pondered for a few seconds. "Let's not talk about this for now. Can you confirm that tonight is the seventh day of the patient's death?"
This determines whether he needs to go to the oncology department tonight to look for clues.
"No," Doctor Fang said sincerely, "but we can find out."
"The archives room of the First Hospital is just below the first floor of the inpatient department. Although the new patient files have been electronically archived in recent years with the construction of a new building for the outpatient department and the rapid development of informatization, the old files have not been entered and are still on paper." He really only forgot about the origins of the hospital, and knew everything about other people and things in the hospital. "The archives room is at the back door, and there is no one guarding it. There is just an old iron lock hanging outside the old corridor. I have never been inside, but it should be locked."
But the problem is that none of the three of them can open the lock.
It was Lu Changfeng who chopped open the wooden door that had several layers of locks yesterday with a fire axe.
"...What are you doing?" Doctor Fang was halfway through his words when he saw Scarao suddenly open his cell phone and start tapping on it.
"Baidu," the long-haired young man searched, "Is there any way to open the old iron lock if the key is lost?"
For example, the new door locks in the office last night have been updated with anti-theft technology. They are difficult to pry open and only professionals can open them, but the old-fashioned ones are not necessarily the same.
"Oh, I found it," Bai Jinshu scrolled down a few times and found the answer instantly. "Baidu said that old-style locks can be opened with chewing gum. Find a tool to push the chewing gum in and squeeze the lock core, then jam the lock bead, and then pull it out while squeezing it."
This was the third time Fang Shaoning had seen this man checking Baidu for no reason. He couldn't help but come over and asked, "...Is your Baidu reliable?"
He is a bit prejudiced against Baidu. After all, too many patients started looking for cancer treatment on Baidu.
"Not bad," Bai Jinshu casually opened a video portal website and entered the search terms. A bunch of experiments on unlocking with gum popped up instantly, some successful and some failed. He watched a few successful ones at double speed. "It's pretty simple. I got it."
This is similar to the tricks that long-haired young people knew when they were young.
He won't, but the long-haired young man certainly will, and then the synchronization rate can be raised.
Doctor Fang:?
How come you can do that?
"No, Brother Ao, does the hospital archives record the time of death of patients? Didn't the patient die in the hospital? It's useless for us to go to the archives," Lu Changfeng was puzzled for a long time and couldn't help but said, "And even if it is recorded, we don't know the patient's name, how can we check it?"
"We don't want to check the time of death of the patient," Fang Shaoning's IQ, which had just been hit by Skao, instantly found its high ground. His tone was subtle and sarcastic, "What do you think? Even if the hospital archives have records, the data sample of patient deaths is too large, and they are all paper documents. There is only a vague 'event that happened decades ago' to locate the time. It will be a big project even with the patient's name. It will take at least five or six days to find it out."
Lu Changfeng was speechless. Yes, that’s what he asked!
"What we need to check is the time the doctor was suspended," Bai Jinshu glanced at Fang Shaoning and explained, "Misdiagnosing cancer is a serious accident. When I asked for information, the old man said that the doctor was suspended."
Fang Shaoning's mind is even smaller than his money.
Only Lu Changfeng is so bold. If it were someone else, these two would at least have a huge quarrel.
Doctor Fang received the warning gaze and reluctantly shut up. The long-haired young man took over the conversation and said, "The misdiagnosis occurred on the day when the forensic autopsy results came out after the patient's death, so the doctor's suspension must have been later than the patient's death, and there was a time difference of 1-6 days between the patient's first seven days."
Baidu is indeed useful. The First Hospital was established no more than 70 years ago, the old residential area was established no more than 50 years ago, and the medical qualification certificate has a history of only 25 years. The aunt's explanation for this matter was "I can't stand hearing these things after I had Fangfang." Considering that the word "had" has two meanings, "pregnancy" and "birth," the time when this incident happened should be 1-2 years lower than the age of "Fangfang", and there is no upper limit on the upward movement.
He was far away and couldn't see Fangfang's appearance clearly, but one can only take a driver's license test after reaching adulthood. Since she drove here, she must be over 18 years old.
In recent years, the number of doctors whose medical licenses have been revoked must be small. At least, it is far lower than the number of patients who died of cancer in recent years, and the difficulty of searching has been greatly reduced.
Bai Jinshu: "We are looking for doctors who were professionally trained in clinical medicine and whose medical licenses were revoked around August sixteen to twenty-five years ago."
Lu Changfeng's mood and the comments were strangely synchronized:
【??? I didn’t understand how he pushed it, but I was shocked.】
The two locks in the hospital's archive room were indeed old-fashioned locks. The person who locked them probably didn't think that anyone would pry them open, so they were hung loosely. The long-haired young man just found two pieces of chewing gum and poked the lock open.
There were not many people downstairs in the inpatient department during lunch break, so the three of them walked into the archive room easily and started searching separately.
"Brother Ao," Lu Changfeng came over with a flashlight, "I've looked over there. They're all materials from forty years ago. I'll help you look over here."
After searching his own area, Lu Changfeng came to Bai Jinshu to help.
"No need," the long-haired young man looked up, "I've found it."
"Which one?" Lu Changfeng leaned over and said, "Twenty-three years ago... Wasn't this license revoked in September? It doesn't match."
Dr. Fang is talking about around August every year.
"It should match. This is the only doctor whose license was revoked during this period. The time may not be in the solar calendar. Fang Shaoning said around August, which means the time cannot be determined every year. Let's look at the lunar calendar." Bai Jinshu pulled out the perpetual calendar from his phone and turned to the day when the license was revoked 23 years ago. "The eighth day of the seventh lunar month."
He turned back to today's date: "July 14th."
"It was six days off, but it matched. The day after the patient died, the medical examiner issued the diagnosis result. After the family found out that he did not have cancer, they hung banners outside the hospital to demand justice. As a result, the doctor who misdiagnosed the cancer was urgently stopped from seeing patients and his medical license was revoked."
"But..." Bai Jinshu paused as he exited the calendar, apparently noticing something. "Tomorrow is the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, which is the Ghost Festival."
*
Twelve hours ago.
Yang Pei frowned, obviously noticing something was wrong with "Liu Meixin".
But he was confident in his own strength. Although he had lost one arm, it was easy for him to fight against a short-haired girl with no combat experience.
In that case, I might as well listen to what she wants to tell me by coming here in the middle of the night.
Generally speaking, these special rules are based on some special branches, such as understanding the secrets behind the unknown space and exploring the past story of a certain character. Liu Meixin disappeared for a day yesterday. Did she go to explore this special rule?
Yang Pei looked at her again and raised his eyebrows: "What special rules?"
"Tomorrow is the Ghost Festival," Liu Meixin said coldly, without saying a word, "Every year during the Ghost Festival, people die in the hospital at night, a lot of people die. On this night, no matter who dies, no one will notice it."
"Do you want to sell out another teammate in the psychiatric department so that I can protect you?" Yang Pei raised his eyebrows and gave an expected smile.
He had seen many such newcomers before. After guessing his purpose, they would betray his teammates' hiding places and means of survival to him in order to survive. He admired these people's awareness of the times, but also despised their betrayal. Usually, he would get rid of him after getting rid of his teammates.
But I didn't expect... His eyes swept over Liu Meixin. This woman was so good at pretending. Yesterday she was arm in arm with another woman in the same department, but today he could push her into the fire pit with his own hands.
"No," Liu Meixin paused, "I want to talk about the oncology department."
"Oncology?" Yang Pei was very interested. "What grudge do you have against those two idiots that makes you target them like this?"
"During the Ghost Festival, one floor of the Oncology Department will randomly turn into a corridor in an old residential area," Liu Meixin ignored his question and continued, "In this corridor during the Ghost Festival, the dead will briefly come back to life. You have killed a lot of people, right?"
"What do you mean?" Yang Pei didn't expect that the special rules Liu Meixin mentioned were really special rules. How did she know these?
"How do you know this rule?" he asked in surprise.
"Don't you understand? I'm giving you a chance to hunt others without having to do it yourself." Liu Meixin didn't care about his suspicion and excitement at all, her voice still as cold as ice. "Your left arm is injured and your bracelet is lost. It's hard for you to kill others yourself, right? But I'm not telling you this for nothing. You have to help me do something."
"I'll do it if you tell me to?" Yang Pei was obviously irritated by her attitude.
"Of course." Liu Meixin pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that really couldn't be called a smile.
"By the way, I haven't told you yet, the reason you were called by the nurse yesterday was because Scario asked Director Sun to call you in next."
Yang Pei suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"What I want you to do is very simple," Liu Meixin's voice continued, "There is a room 503 on the fifth floor. You just need to let him in. It doesn't matter what method you use, but it must not be fatal."
Yang Pei had no reason not to agree. He and Skao had an old grudge, an old grudge of 8.88 million points. Apart from these 8.88 million points, he had more reasons to kill Skao.
With his silent consent, Liu Meixin gave him a meaningful look and was about to leave the ward.
"Wait a minute," Yang Pei suddenly reached out to grab her arm, but Liu Meixin dodged it. "Were you pretending to be crazy yesterday? What method did you find to avoid being discovered during today's inspection?"
How did she manage not to show up during the day without arousing suspicion from the new doctor?
Yang Pei was confused by this newcomer who did not act according to common sense and had no idea what she was trying to do.
"Me?" Liu Meixin moved closer to him. Under the dim light, her skin had a strange roughness to it. "Didn't you see?"
"What did you see..." Yang Pei's voice suddenly stopped.
He saw it.
The person standing in front of him was not Liu Meixin at all.
In other words, it was not the Liu Meixin from last night at all.
The facial features of "Liu Meixin" were all drawn on a piece of paper, and as she turned around, he suddenly discovered that from her side, her entire body was only as thin as a layer of paper.
What stood in front of him was actually a thin paper figure.
The author has something to say:
Xiaoao, a portable metal tool
Metal, the ruthless Baidu machine
Yang Pei, after entering, all he did was to push the exploration line forward, including but not limited to killing Chen Fei to lead out Director Sun, blowing up the wall to lead out the misdiagnosis line (sure
