Chapter 145 Murder in Sleep: The Exchange of Sin

Fang Rui and Mu Mian were not successful in investigating the source of tung oil. Tung oil is not a controlled substance, and its source is very wide. You can even go to the mountains to pick tung nuts and press the oil.

Seeing that Fang Rui was not very happy, Mu Mian comforted him, "Fang Rui, it is illegal for Zhang Taotao to swap babies in the hospital. We can find evidence that he swapped two children, and then we can put him in jail."

"Maybe not. There was a similar case before, where a poor mother swapped a child of a rich family in a hospital. More than 20 years later, the mother who swapped the child did not admit that she had swapped the child. She also turned the tables and sued the hospital, saying that it was the hospital's negligence, and finally received compensation. Zhang Taotao will definitely shift the responsibility to the hospital, unless--"

Fang Rui paused, parked the car on the side of the road, turned on his phone to search for the news about the wrong child. He found that the accused hospital was the Third Affiliated Hospital of Jiangzhou University. Zhang Mingli was born in that hospital.

"Fang Rui, what's wrong?"

"Let's go to that hospital to investigate."

Zhang Mingli was born in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Jiangzhou University. After the hospital staff learned about Fang Rui and his friends' purpose, they agreed to help them find the medical files from that year.

The hospital had already backed up the medical files electronically, so the staff quickly found Zhang Huanhuan's medical files.

The hospital staff said: "On November 13, 1998, Zhang Huanhuan was admitted to Ward 706. At 3:09 pm on November 14, she entered the delivery room and gave birth to a daughter." The staff printed

out Zhang Huanhuan's admission certificate, prenatal examination report, and discharge report at that time, and she handed the report to Fang Rui.

Fang Rui asked, "Who was in the same ward with her?"

The staff member checked the ward rounds records at that time and said, "She was in a double ward. The other woman in labor was named Wang Yuanfang. She was admitted to the hospital on the morning of November 14. At 3:23 p.m. that day, she entered the delivery room and gave birth to a son."

"Who were the doctor and nurse who delivered Zhang Huanhuan?"

"The doctor was Li Qing, the best obstetrician and gynecologist in our hospital. She passed away two years ago. The midwife was Wang Pandi, and she has retired."

"Do you have her home address?"

"Wait a minute, I need to check."

The staff member quickly printed out Wang Pandi's work file.

"Has your hospital ever had an incident of wrong baby delivery?"

"We were wrongly accused of this. This is not our hospital's responsibility at all. The woman in labor secretly switched the baby herself. She knew her son had a genetic disease, and she saw that the woman in the bed next to her was rich, so she had evil thoughts. More than 20 years ago, the management of the hospital was not strict, and the babies were only identified by the wristbands on their wrists. As long as she secretly changed the wristbands, it would be easy to switch the identities of the children."

"Who were the doctor and nurse who delivered her?"

"The doctor was Dr. Li Qing, the nurse was Wang Pandi..." The staff suddenly thought of something.

"If it's a boy and a girl, is it easy to swap identities?"

"It's impossible! When a child is just born, the mother will be told the gender of the child. It's possible to swap children of the same sex, but it's definitely impossible to swap children of the opposite sex. Unless the nurse did something."

Fang Rui told Xiao Li Wang Pandi's name and ID number, and asked him to check the relationship between Wang Pandi and Wang Yuanfang.

Xiao Li quickly told them the results of the investigation: "Wang Pandi is Wang Yuanfang's cousin."

Fang Rui immediately asked someone to take Wang Pandi to the police station.

She was an old lady in her sixties, not tall, a little hunched, and looked very kind.

Wang Pandi asked in confusion: "Comrade police, what crime have I committed? Why did you arrest me?"

Fang Rui didn't say anything, and put two parent-child identification reports in front of Wang Pandi.

"What is this?" Wang Pandi has presbyopia. She held the document farther away and saw the identification results on it. Her brows wrinkled for a moment, but she quickly pretended to be dumbfounded, "Why are you showing me this report? I can't understand it."

"You are a nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department. Can't you even understand the parent-child identification report?"

"I can understand the report, but I don't know these people."

"Isn't Zhang Taotao your cousin's husband? Don't you know him?" Fang Rui questioned.

"I remember now, my cousin's husband is also called Zhang Taotao. Alas, I'm old and useless, and I can't remember many things."

Fang Rui said: "In 1998, Wang Yuanfang and Zhang Huanhuan were in the same ward, but their children were swapped. The two babies are of different genders, and it is difficult for them to be taken away by the wrong baby. You deliberately swapped the children, right?"

"Were the two babies taken away by mistake?" Wang Pandi showed a surprised expression. She said, "How could this happen? I have never made any mistakes in my work, so this kind of thing is unlikely to happen. Could it be that their parents secretly switched the babies themselves?"

Fang Rui took out another stack of files and placed them in front of her. "The hospital where you work has given us the list of pregnant women you have handled. We found that the babies of two other pregnant women were also swapped. The pregnant woman who is suspected of swapping the babies has been found guilty of this. "My wife is your distant cousin’s wife..."

Wang Pandi's face turned pale, she covered her face and cried, "I have no choice, they forced me to do this. I got into that hospital by falsifying my academic qualifications, if I don't help them, they will report me. I finally got into the hospital in the city, I can't let them ruin my future...My cousin's wife is not easy either, how can her family afford to raise a child with congenital heart disease, I have to help her..."

"Then will you destroy other people's families?" Xiao Zhang said angrily, "You are separating people's flesh and blood by doing this. Do you still have professional ethics?"

Wang Pandi covered her face and cried, "I have no choice. I was forced."

"How was Zhang Huanhuan's child replaced?"

"Li Bao doesn't care whether he has a daughter or not, and my cousin's husband especially wants a son. Wouldn't it be good to replace it? Wouldn't both children live happily? I am helping them..."

Fang Rui was amused by her logic, "Ms. Wang, judging from your name, you are also a victim of son preference. Why do you want to become their accomplice?"

"I..." Wang Pandi didn't know how to answer this question. She hated this name and the idea of ​​son preference, but when she had a child and found out that the child was a girl, her first reaction was to abort her. She had been assimilated into this evil thought, just like she had accepted this name.

"Please explain what happened back then."

"My cousin and her husband Zhang Taotao came to me and asked me to find a way to see if my cousin's baby was a boy or a girl. I didn't want to agree, but Zhang Taotao said that if I didn't help him, he would report me for falsifying my academic qualifications. I could only ask someone to help them check the baby's gender.

After they knew the baby was a girl, they wanted to abort it. But my cousin's health was not good, and if she aborted the baby, she might not be able to get pregnant in the future. Zhang Taotao thought of a shady trick to exchange the baby. But his requirements were very high, so he didn't find a suitable exchange partner.

Not long after, Zhang Huanhuan was also found to be three months pregnant. She The due dates of the two of them were two weeks apart, so they couldn't be swapped originally. However, Zhang Taotao forced me to get labor-inducing drugs for his sister, which brought forward her due date. He persuaded his sister to stay in the same ward with his wife.

Zhang Taotao knew that her sister was about to give birth that day, so he sent his brother-in-law Li Bao away, and then swapped the children after they were born. I helped him falsify the medical records. The two children were related by blood and looked alike, so no one had any suspicions for so many years. "

As Wang Pandi got older, she began to believe in karma. She was tortured by her conscience all these years, so she honestly confessed her crime.

"Comrade police, I was forced. Zhang Taotao is the mastermind. All the ideas were from him. I am just an accomplice."

"Do you have evidence to prove that he is the mastermind?" Fang Rui asked.
