Chapter 76 Qiao Feitian is in deep trouble
The entire floor of the regimental hospital's inpatient department was in an uproar.
First, Qiao Feitian set the pace so fast that she didn't even need to say anything more. The crowd was already filled with extreme anger, and all their anger was directed at Xia Fanxing.
Just then, Xia Fanxing arrived.
She was carrying medicine for Grandpa Wang, but before she could even enter the ward, she was stopped by other patients and their families in the corridor.
"How dare you come here! You've almost poisoned Grandpa Wang to death!"
"If anything really happens to Grandpa Wang, we'll all be witnesses, and we'll definitely put you in jail!"
"You're so heartless! No wonder you're a capitalist's daughter. Who did you pull some strings to get into the regimental hospital?"
Amidst the accusations and insults from the crowd, Xia Fanxing finally understood the whole story.
Without offering a single explanation, she carried the tray and pushed through the crowd into the ward.
Amidst the chaos, she remained remarkably calm, immediately setting down the tray and going to Mr. Wang's bedside to check on his condition.
Xia Fanxing quickly determined that Grandpa Wang had suffered from some kind of organophosphate poisoning, which is pesticide poisoning.
Ignoring the objections and risks from others, she immediately began the rescue efforts.
She first prepared some soapy water, then pinched Grandpa Wang's chin and poured the soapy water into his mouth to induce vomiting.
At the same time, she took out the silver needles she carried with her, disinfected them briefly, and inserted them into Grandpa Wang's acupoints such as "Zusanli" and "Neiguan" to relieve his spasms and maintain his vital signs.
After this series of procedures, Grandpa Wang indeed calmed down. Regardless of whether he was actually detoxified, at least he could lie quietly in bed without convulsing.
The crowd, which had been noisy and hurling insults not long ago, quieted down upon seeing this scene.
Everyone looked at each other, completely taken aback by Xia Fanxing's calmness and professionalism.
Thanks to Xia Fanxing's timely rescue efforts, when the doctor came to take Grandpa Wang for a check-up, they found that he was completely out of danger and only needed to rest.
The doctor in charge of Mr. Wang asked the crowd with surprise, "Excuse me, who performed these first aid measures? They were done exceptionally well. Without these first aid measures, Mr. Wang's condition could have been very dangerous."
All eyes turned to Xia Fanxing.
Xia Fanxing said calmly, "It's all what I should do. Now that Grandpa Wang's condition has stabilized, we can investigate who poisoned him."
The crowd has recovered from their intense emotions.
They realized: if Xia Fanxing really did poison him, then why did she save him?
According to the doctor, if she hadn't intervened, Mr. Wang would likely have died.
Therefore, they have come to believe that Xia Fanxing is innocent and that the real culprit who poisoned her is someone else.
Qiao Feitian planned to leave quietly in the crowd.
She was very disappointed. Despite being well-prepared, Xia Fanxing still managed to escape.
She refused to believe it; could Xia Fanxing really be this lucky every time?
She believed that she would succeed eventually and one day drive Xia Fanxing out of the army and never recall her!
Qiao Feitian thought her retreat was very discreet and that Xia Fanxing hadn't noticed her presence.
But in fact, Xia Fanxing spotted her the moment she returned to the ward, but she just didn't make a fuss about it.
Just as Qiao Feitian was about to retreat to the stairwell, Xia Fanxing slowly spoke up: "To ensure that we can find the real culprit, I have already contacted the security department in advance. To put it bluntly, everyone here is a suspect, so no one can leave until the real culprit is found."
As soon as those words were spoken, several security guards rushed up the stairs.
They gestured for Qiao Feitian, who was trying to escape, to go back.
Qiao Feitian awkwardly laughed and said, "I didn't mean to leave, I just wanted to go to the restroom."
"I'll go with you," a female colleague said. "The security department isn't just made up of men."
Helpless, Qiao Feitian could only go to the restroom and come back with the female comrade's company.
She had no chance of escaping.
During the investigation by the security department, Xia Fanxing produced incredibly clear records of drug distribution and usage.
Thanks to Xia Fanxing's meticulous work ethic and her adherence to procedures, there is solid evidence proving that the medicine she provided was completely correct and that it was impossible for her to have poisoned the patient.
During their investigation, the security personnel questioned the patient who shared a ward with Mr. Wang.
After the patient finished explaining the normal situation, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Qiao Feitian hesitantly before saying, "I went for a walk outside and came back, and I just saw her coming out of the ward. There was no one else in the ward at the time, just her. But she usually gets along well with Lao Wang, and they don't have any grudges against each other, so it shouldn't be her, right?"
Qiao Feitian was both angry and scared, and couldn't help but break down and yell, "You said you have a good relationship with Grandpa Wang, how could you think that I poisoned him? Are you out of your mind?!"
The patient wasn't one to back down either, and immediately retorted, "Hey, why are you swearing? I didn't say it was definitely you. This is an investigation, isn't it? I'm just providing the security team with some clues, what are you afraid of?"
"What am I afraid of? I just think your behavior of arbitrarily slandering people is unacceptable!" Qiao Feitian tried to confuse the situation and divert the investigators' attention by arguing.
But the security personnel weren't so easily fooled.
"Alright, stop arguing!" They first forcefully stopped the pointless argument, then looked at Qiao Feitian.
"Comrade Qiao, we need to search you."
Qiao Feitian feigned composure and refused, saying, "Why are you searching me? How could I possibly poison Master Wang? I didn't do it at all. Searching me is just tarnishing my reputation. Even if you don't find anything, some people will use this against me. How will I stay in the military after that?"
That statement is not wrong.
The patient was only speculating, and even he himself felt that it was unlikely that Qiao Feitian would poison someone.
If the security personnel rashly search them and find nothing, they don't know how to face Qiao Feitian and the possible situations she mentioned.
Qiao Feitian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the investigators were intimidated by her.
Pesticide powder couldn't be grabbed by hand; in those days, the most common place to store powder was paper.
She hadn't had time to throw away the paper she used to store pesticide powder; it was still in her pants pocket.
Fortunately, the security personnel hesitated to search her, otherwise finding this piece of paper would have been irrefutable evidence.
"The source of the poisoning has been identified." A nurse walked over, holding up the test results.
"Let me see." The doctor in charge of Mr. Wang took the test results, looked at them, and when he looked up again, his expression was very serious.
"Comrades, Grandpa Wang has been poisoned by pesticides. Is anyone here from the agricultural unit?"
