Chapter 135: The Forgotten Patient (I)
"No," Mei Qinghua replied very clearly after Zhou Tang expressed his intentions, "At least I have never seen a patient or employee with an obvious 'Z' mark on his body!"
"You ......" Zhou Tang frowned, "Are you so sure?"
"Yes," replied Mr. May, affirmatively, "although I have mental problems, my memory is not bad!"
"That'...... Okay!" Zhou Tang and Li Xiaoxian glanced at each other, obviously very disappointed.
If Dean Mei hadn't seen the Z mark either, then their investigation would once again be at an impasse!
"So......" Li Xiaoxian asked, "What do you know about Bed 6?"
"Oh, well......," said Mr. May, "the last time I visited, I was in the middle of an illness, and I didn't say much about bed No. 6!"
"If you want, I can tell you everything I can think of, well......" Suddenly, Mr. Mei's voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes became glazed, as if someone had immobilized him.
"Hey?" Zhou Tang chuckled in his heart, and began to worry about whether the other party suddenly became ill.
Someone mentioned before that as long as the matter of the mental hospital is mentioned, Dean Mei will get sick, is it ......
"Officer, I remember something!" Mr. Mei said motionlessly, "On July 7, 2001, a patient was transferred to our hospital!
"This patient was so traumatized by the car accident that he couldn't take care of himself, and he even had problems walking!" Mr. Mei recalled, "So, at that time, he was placed in bed No. 7!"
"This man's condition is very serious, both mentally and physically, but, through our careful care and unremitting efforts, it only took us 5 years for him to stand up and be able to walk!"
“......”
Zhou Tang, Li Xiaoxian and the others listened and didn't understand why Mr. Mei would mention such a person.
"However, his mental problems are very serious," Mr. Mei continued, "because of the car accident, his head was damaged, the pituitary gland was adhesed, and the cerebellar loose body compressed the ......," and after a bunch of jargon, he continued, "So, his mental condition is very bad, he can't recognize people, he can't read things, and he still needs to be taken care of by the nurses!"
"Hmm......" Li Xiaoxian was puzzled when she heard it, and just wanted to ask, but was stopped by Zhou Tang.
Because, Zhou Tang had already heard something from Mr. Mei's tone.
Sure enough, when Mr. Mei finished talking about the patient's condition, he said very seriously: "Among the patient's superficial characteristics, there is one that impresses me deeply!
"He would often cover his face with a rag and wave his arms non-stop!
"At first," said Mr. May, "we thought he used to be an orchestra conductor, but after a long period of attention, I realized that the route of his arm wave was more like a capital 'Z' !!"
What the!!?
Hearing this, everyone finally understood what Mr. Mei meant, and they were all shocked!
"This patient is quite special, so I am quite impressed with him," Mr. May continued, "I suspect that in the 90s there was a dubbed film called Zorro!"
"I have the impression that this patient must have imagined himself to be Zorro, and in addition to being blindfolded and gesturing Z, he often imitates the movements of riding a horse......"
"Mr. Mei," Hearing this, Zhou Tang couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately asked, "What is the name of this patient you are talking about?"
"This is also quite special!" replied Mr. May without hesitation, "he was transferred from the hospital, we did not receive any personal information about him, and the annual expenses are all gone to the Red Cross Foundation!"
"There is no identity, no family," Mr. May said, "and such forgotten patients are not uncommon in our hospital!"
"Then ......" Zhou Tang asked again, "He has no name?"
"The number is 0977," Mr. Mei said, "he was brought in on July 7 and was admitted to ward 7, so we thought he was destined for 7, so we gave him a kind name, called Xiao Qi!"
Ooh......
Suddenly, Zhou Tang only felt a chill in the back of his spine, and the hairs on his body stood on end!
The name Xiao Qi sounds so familiar!
Isn't the name of Liu Xitang's stupid apprentice also called Xiao Qi?
And also...... Zhou Tang remembered clearly, that Xiao Qi had a long scar on his arm, such a serious scar, it was obviously caused by a heavy injury!
Don't...... Don't...... Two Xiaoqi are the same person!?
Since Zhou Tang was able to think of it, Li Xiaoxian and Si Rui naturally thought of this as well, and they showed a surprised expression!
"Mr. Mei," Li Xiaoxian hurriedly asked, "This Xiao Qi you are talking about, where is he now?"
"Because of his recovery," Mr. May recalled, "he left Bed 7 and moved upstairs, but his condition did not improve until I retired!"
"As for me after I retire, then I don't know! If his condition doesn't improve, he should still be in the hospital, right? After all, he doesn't have any relatives ......."
"0977, is the number 0977?" Zhou Tang asked, and hurriedly glanced at Si Rui.
Si Rui hurriedly took out his mobile phone and went outside, naturally contacting the psychiatric hospital to investigate the situation of this Xiao Qi......
"Yes!" Mr. Mei nodded and said, "If he has not been discharged from the hospital, then his medical records must still be there, and you can also look for them from the government subsidy list, where there are detailed records!"
"Okay!" Although he was very excited, Zhou Tang still said calmly, "Mr. Mei, can you tell us more about the origin of this No. 7 patient?"
"Yes," Mr. Mei said calmly, "he was in a car accident and spent several years in Anzhou Hospital, where he was transferred to our hospital due to serious mental problems!"
"How many years is it, do you have any impression?" Zhou Tang asked busily.
"No," replied Mr. May, "it should have been a year or two, and the hospital was in a hurry to get rid of the burden, so there was not much detail!"
"However, on July 7, 2001, I was transferred to our hospital, and this date will not be wrong!"
Oh......
Suddenly, a concept took shape from Zhou Tang's mind.
Could it be that this Xiaoqi is one of the Z bandits, and the reason why he was sent to a mental hospital was because he had a serious car accident in 98?
The car accident knocked him stupid and doesn't remember anything?
"Mr. Mei," Li Xiaoxian asked, "hasn't your hospital contacted the police to find his family for a patient like him?"
"Needless to say!," said Mr. May, "we have been entrusting many agencies to search for his family!"
"However, no matter what method was used, no information about his identity was found!
"Actually, we all know in our hearts," said Mr. Mei, "that a patient like Xiao Qi, even if his family knew about it, would probably not come to see him!"
"If you don't see it, at least we will keep it, but if you do, you will have to pay out of your own pocket to take care of the patient!
"So, we know very well that the so-called search for identity is just a formality......"
"Brother Tang," at this time, Si Rui hurriedly came in and reported, "There is no file No. 0977 in the records of the hospital!"
