Early the next morning, Xiao Hua, who was ordered to come to Wufeng City to investigate the cause of death of Youyinghao and his father Yuanzhi, drove alone, and it took nearly four hours to arrive at Wufeng City, which he was once very familiar with, at half past ten in the morning. Parking the car in front of the Third People's Hospital of Wufeng City, where You Yuanzhi lived and where she gave birth to her daughter Xiaoying, inevitably evoked many memories of her back then.

Since the spring of three years ago, the husband divorced him because he was too busy with work and could not take care of the family or even live a normal married life, and he has never come to the city where his in-laws once lived. On the contrary, Xiao Ying, a daughter who is already in the third year of junior high school and is taken by her grandparents, is picked up by her father several times a year to get together with her grandparents.

Shaking his head vigorously, he walked out of the memories of the past, and Xiao Hua walked into the hospital with his feet raised. First of all, he came to the medical department, revealed his identity and explained his intention.

Xiao Hua was greeted by a female staff member in her 40s, who was thin and well-dressed.

"Officer Xiao, it is very likely that the patient case from thirteen years ago has not been found. ”

"According to Article 52 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Regulations on the Administration of Medical Institutions, the ambitious cases I am looking for should belong to the category of long-term preservation. ”

"Regulations are regulations, and the situation is different from hospital to hospital. Unless cases of infectious diseases will be stored for a long time, such as cases of patients who died of common cancer, not only our hospitals, but most hospitals cannot comply with the regulations. After all, at least 70 percent of all patients who seek medical care over the years have died from cancer. The accumulation of cases accumulated over the decades requires not only a huge amount of space, but also a lot of manpower and material resources, which is difficult for anyone to do. ”

Having said that, the man still took Xiao Hua to the reference room to look for it carefully. Seeing the cases that were really piled up inside and were bundled and stored, Xiao Hua's head was not ordinarily big. Fortunately, each stack of bundled cases is labeled, so it is not enough to open the bundle and look for it. Even so, it took nearly an hour, and by twelve o'clock at noon, Xiao Hua, who had found nothing, had to thank the staff and left the hospital in a somewhat depressed mood.

It is no wonder that when a heroic man came to look for him six or seven years ago, the hospital told him that the case could not be found. Xiao Hua noticed when he was looking at the cases just now that the earliest date of the ordinary cancer cases stored in the data room was only three years ago. In other words, the Third People's Hospital of Wuhong City had just cleaned up the cases of common cancer three years ago.

"How often do you usually deal with these retained cases?"

"About once every three to five years. ”

And the time of Yuanzhi's death was thirteen years ago, so where did Xiao Hua go to find it?

It's not that I didn't think about looking for the attending doctor when Yuyuan was hospitalized, and I also asked the staff.

"Hehe, it's harder to find the attending doctor than to find a case. The staff member said with a smile: "Officer Xiao also saw those cancer cases just now, and the number of deaths every year is enough for thousands of people, and there are hundreds of lung cancer patients." If it is a patient within one or two years, the doctor may still have some impressions that it is impossible to remember more than ten years ago. ”

Xiao Hua thinks about it, not to mention that the doctor has to receive more than a dozen or even dozens of patients every day, even the criminals who are arrested by themselves will forget it in a few years. Therefore, this idea was dispelled.

Because in the confession of Yinghao, it was not only his father Youyuanzhi who mistakenly thought he was a good person, a bad person, a benefactor, and a bad person, but also a bad person who led Youyinghao to the wrong path, Zhao Bingming, the father of Zhao Xiaojia, a female student from the University of Science and Technology, had a special identity, so Lin Jia naturally notified the Wufeng City National Security Bureau to investigate, so Xiao Hua could only work around the social relations of Youyuanzhi before his death.

found a small restaurant nearby in front of the hospital, Xiao Hua planned to fill his stomach first, and then go to meet Youying's mother, Deng Yuzhen.

Just as Xiao Hua finished eating in two bites and stood up to leave, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the door of the hotel, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked the waiter: "Is the hot and sour soup I asked for on the phone ready?"

"Auntie, it's okay. You'll be waiting here, and I'll go to the kitchen and bring it to you. ”

The person who came was not someone else, it was Xiao Hua's former mother-in-law. Although they were divorced, Xiao Hua couldn't help but call out, "Mom." ”

Seeing the lunch box that my mother-in-law was carrying, I couldn't help but feel moved, and asked with great certainty, "...... are you?"

"Hey, Xiaohua, why are you?" Obviously, Xiao Hua's mother-in-law didn't expect to meet her former daughter-in-law here. "Xiaoying, her grandfather is sick and hospitalized here, and she wants to drink hot and sour soup, so I called in the morning and ordered one here. As she spoke, the old lady's eyes turned red involuntarily.

As the saying goes, it's better than not knowing, it turns out that the husband and wife always listen to their son complain about how Xiao Hua is not good, how he doesn't care about the family, and over time they slowly agree to their son's plan to divorce Xiao Hua. However, since the son married a young daughter-in-law the year before last, the couple finally realized how wrong their decision to approve of their son's divorce was in the first place.

Although his son and daughter-in-law both work in Jiangjun City, they can only see each other a few times a year during the New Year's holidays. However, for such a big thing as the wife's illness and hospitalization, the son and daughter-in-law only came to see it, and there was no follow-up. The old lady remembers clearly that she lived in this hospital once when she was not in good health, but Xiao Hua took a long leave to come over to accompany her, and did not go back until she was well and discharged from the hospital.

Seeing that the old lady's eyes suddenly turned red, Xiao Hua chuckled in his heart, mistakenly thinking that Xiaoying's grandfather was seriously ill, and said busily: "Mom, I happened to pass by here on a business trip, I'll accompany you to see Dad." ”

The old lady nodded, but said politely: "I know you're busy, don't delay your work." ”

"It's okay, it's noon, and I'm free. ”

helped the old lady carry the lunch box, and bought some fruits at the fruit stall in front of the hospital according to the preferences of Grandpa Xiaoying in his memory, and returned to the hospital. went straight to the inpatient department, and didn't relax until he saw the words "prostatic hyperplasia surgery" written on the case card hanging in front of Xiaoying's grandfather's bed.

"Dad, how are you recovering from surgery?"

"Good, good, good. ”

It can be seen that Grandpa Xiaoying was both a little excited and a little embarrassed when he saw Xiao Hua.

"Didn't Xiaoying call during the eleventh long holiday, why didn't you hear her mention it?"

"We didn't tell Xiaoying. ”

Although he didn't see his ex-husband and wife, Xiao Hua was inconvenient to ask more. Standing in front of the hospital bed, he waited for Grandpa Xiaoying to finish eating, and helped wash the lunch box, after all, he had a task to do, so he had to say goodbye to the old couple: "Dad, take care of your body, if you have time, I will come to see you again." Mom, when I go back and wait for Xiaoying to have winter vacation, I will ask her to come over and accompany you more. ”

"Hey, good, good. The old lady raised her hand and wiped her eyes and said, "Go and get busy, you don't have to come again." The doctor said that the recovery was good, and he could go home to recuperate after two or three days of observation and observation. ”

No matter how you say it, it's no longer a family, and it's impossible not to be embarrassed by each other. Therefore, Xiao Hua turned around and left the ward, persuaded the former mother-in-law who had been sent out of the door to stay, and quickly walked out of the inpatient department.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the hospital, I heard a burst of exclamations from the outpatient building: "Murder, murder, come quickly!"

Xiao Hua didn't care about anything else, and subconsciously raised his foot and rushed towards the outpatient building. I didn't want to step up the three steps in front of the outpatient building, but I met a middle-aged man with a fruit knife in his hand, wearing a hospital gown, and a bloodstained placket running in front, followed by several people in white coats, men and women, I don't know if it was a doctor or a nurse, chasing and shouting: "Catch him, Dr. Li was killed by him!"

Xiao Hua's mind was agitated, and he instantly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the middle-aged man who had already run to the front and was covered in blood, shouting: "Stop, police!"
