Chapter 123: The Erased Past
"yes, don't you know?" Dr. Li looked at the three of them, a puzzled look flashing under his thick glasses.
Tang Manman shook his head and asked with a serious expression, "Doctor Li, can you tell us more about the situation at that time?" "She had a feeling that the truth was about to surface, but she was afraid that she would step on it.
Dr. Li looked Tang Manman up and down, and was about to speak, when someone called out to him, "Dr. Li, two patients have just been sent to the emergency department......
"I'm sorry, I'll tell you later." Dr. Li hurriedly finished speaking, and ran quickly in the direction of the emergency room.
The white coat ran into the chaotic emergency room, and Tang Manman looked for it again, but it was not easy to find Dr. Li. The hand she placed in front of her couldn't help but tighten.
Gao Yang clasped his hands on his chest, lowered his head and moved two steps to stand beside Tang Manman, looked up at her and said, "I don't think this Doctor Li is telling a lie." ”
After all, no one expected that there would be three people in the car accident.
"Did we miss something?"
Zhang Yaoyao hurriedly used her mobile phone to flip through the recently sorted out information. It was found that no matter where the report was, there was no mention of the three people who were involved in the car accident. If it weren't for Dr. Li's reminder today, everyone would not have noticed the number of people involved in the car accident.
Is this a coincidence or is someone deliberately covering up the facts?
Tang Manman, who was noisy in the crowded emergency hall, couldn't concentrate, she pursed her lips and said to Gao Yang: "Find a way to get the visit records of the year, who is lying, won't everything be clear?" ”
Tang Manman woke up the dreamer with a word.
Gao Yang patted his head, took out his mobile phone and said, "It's easy to say, I know the staff who manage the archives here."
Not long after, the three of them followed what the person on the phone said and came to the archive room on the twelfth floor.
Unlike the other floors of the hospital, the floor on which the archives are located is empty. Except for a few people who came to check the information, there was no one else.
The staff who led the way was also wearing white coats, and introduced as they walked, "In addition to the archives, there are also some important medical machinery and specimens stored on this floor, and there are generally few people who ...... except for trained medical students."
Everyone else listened with relish, not looking toward the specimen room in the direction of the staff. Only Tang Manman didn't bother to listen to the staff's explanation.
Her heart was beating fast, and she felt an indescribable tiredness in her body. Although she felt a lot heavier since she was pregnant, today she felt different than usual.
"Sister Manman, Sister Manman?" Zhang Yaoyao screamed several times before Tang Manman came back to his senses, "I'm fine, have you arrived?" ”
She avoided Zhang Yaoyao's probing gaze and walked into the archives, knowing that she was too nervous just now.
The smell of disinfectant water in the room was mixed with the smell of books, and the staff checked it from the computer and took out four or five file boxes from the bookshelf, "Here are the day's diagnosis and treatment records, you can go to the reading room next door and take a look." ”
"Okay, I'm in trouble." Gao Yang took the materials, and the three of them went to the reading room to work together.
The hospital's medical records are destroyed on a regular basis, and if the case is investigated again for another year or two, these records may not be found.
Tang Manman was highly focused on flipping through the medical records in his hand, not wanting to miss a word. As the number of materials that she didn't read gradually decreased, her breathing slowed down, and she couldn't help but look forward to the next page being Yan Zhengqi's call list.
But the next page is not. She looked forward to it page by page, her palms sweating.
"Found it!" Zhang Yaoyao cheered and showed the two of them the call sheet. It has Dr. Lee's signature on it, and the time and location of the car accident are correct.
But the patient is only Yan Zhengqi.
None of the three spoke, and the atmosphere in the room instantly froze.
"Look again, maybe it's a mistake there." Don Manman continued to flip as he spoke.
The three of them searched again and found that there was only Yan Zhengqi's case. The other two patients in Dr. Lee's mouth were not found at all.
Tang Manman's heart sank suddenly, and the light he had just discovered was once again blocked by darkness.
"This Doctor Li, are you kidding us?" Li Yaoyao complained, and was a little angry and packed up the messy documents.
Gao Yang copied Yan Zhengqi's page of emergency list, and handed it to Tang Manman with an ugly expression, "Then we ...... it."
"Go ahead and ask Dr. Lee." Or Dr. Wei.
Tang Manman didn't say what was behind, took the copy and walked out quickly.
Waiting for the elevator to be vacant, Tang Manman looked at the call list and lost her mind, as if she had followed the pain of the case back to the afternoon of the car accident.
The cicadas chirped and the man driving the car stepped on the brakes in a panic, but the car still flew out uncontrollably. The airbag popped out, the shattered glass stuck to the body, and the high-speed collision was about to throw everything in the car out......
"It's impossible, I signed a medical call for three people." Dr. Lee's words interrupted Don Manman's reverie.
He had just undergone surgery, and he had not had time to change his surgical gown. When I heard them say that there was only one medical order, I was anxious to confirm my correctness.
Gao Yang showed him a copy of the call form, "We only found this one, Dr. Li, are you mistaken?" ”
Dr. Li looked at the call sheet and shook his head repeatedly, "I won't be mistaken, my mother-in-law died of illness that day......
"Excuse me, Dr. Lee."
Tang Manman suddenly interrupted Dr. Li's words, took back the call form, and said to him with a smile: "It is estimated that we missed it when we were looking for information, and you are quite tired after surgery, let's talk another day." ”
Her whole person blooms like a dark orchid, and her kind smile makes people can't help but calm down.
Dr. Li also realized that he was in a bit of a hurry, and he finally nodded, "If there is anything you need my help with, you can come to me at any time." ”
"Well, thank you really for today."
The three of them shook hands with Dr. Li in turn, thanked him, and left the emergency room one after another.
In the wide business car, Gao Yang was concentrating on driving in front, and Tang Manman and Zhang Yaoyao were sitting in the back seat, each with their own thoughts. Zhang Yaoyao looked at the sorted materials impatiently, and the sound of turning the paper was especially abrupt in the quiet carriage.
"What now?" Zhang Yaoyao put away the information with a small mouth, and looked at the two people in the car who did not speak through the rearview mirror.
After waiting for a long time, Gao Yang glanced up at the rearview mirror, "Manman, what do you say?" ”
Tang Manman withdrew his eyes that had been staring out of the car window, pinched his chin with one hand, stared at the back of Gao Yang's head and said, "The emergency order can be faked, and Dr. Li may also lie." But I just don't understand what is the purpose of his lie, to lead us in the wrong direction? ”
"Huh? Sister Manman, are you saying that we are being led by the nose? ”
Zhang Yaoyao rarely had an IQ online, and when she heard that there might be a mastermind behind the scenes, she was involuntarily excited, and her eyes lit up and looked at Tang Manman.
Tang Manman glanced at her uncompromisingly, and said in a slow voice: "I just said that there is a possibility, don't be excited." ”
"How can I not be excited, you say, who will be hiding behind and interfering in our investigation?"
was so troubled by Zhang Yaoyao, and the originally dull atmosphere became lively. The three of them found a place to have a hasty meal, and then went back to the place where they stayed to rest.
Although there was no practical gain, it was quite tiring to run down the day. Especially Don Manman, who is still pregnant with a child. It felt like she was going to fall asleep while eating.
"See you tomorrow."
Tang Manman greeted the two and went back to the room to lie down for a while, but he didn't feel sleepy anymore. She took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, showered and changed her clothes, and came to the café opposite the hotel.
The café is filled with a hot aroma that makes people feel relaxed even when they smell it.
Tang Manman asked for hot milk and a spoonful of sugar, and leaned back in the chair to let the tense nerves gradually relax. After she made that call, she had more or less guessed the truth of Yan Zhengqi's case. The only thing to do now is to wait for your idea to be confirmed.
The bell rang softly at the door, and a well-dressed man walked in and went straight to Don Manman's desk.
The gray tweed coat was casually put on the back of the chair, and Yan Haoyu exposed the suit vest inside, rolled up his sleeves and sat opposite Tang Manman.
Tang Manman drank the last sip of hot milk, asked for a glass of water for himself, ordered a cup of coffee for Yan Haoyu, and then threw a copy of the call sheet found in the hospital in front of Yan Haoyu.
"Should you give me an explanation?"
Seeing Yan Zhengqi's medical treatment order, Yan Haoyu smiled. He took a sip of coffee, straightened up and said to Tang Manman, "You are very fast, I thought you would come back to me two days later." ”
Tang Manman didn't have the heart to talk to Yan Haoyu, she felt that she had been deceived, looked into Yan Haoyu's eyes, and said seriously: "There were three people who had an accident, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yan Haoyu, are you really looking for me to investigate the case? ”
The pregnant woman's mood was already unstable, and Tang Manman was still consciously holding her temper, but her words were still angry.
Yan Haoyu smiled and apologized, it seemed that he expected this to be the result.
"It's all my fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He paused, his expression sank, and he spoke slowly, "Actually, we are to blame for this matter. ”
"Yan Mingting?" Tang Manman raised his eyebrows and asked.
"That's right." Yan Haoyu sighed, "After all, this matter is a disgraceful thing for the old man. ”
Hearing that Yan Haoyu was about to start receiving, Tang Manman reached into his bag and quietly pressed down the voice recorder he carried with him.
"The other two people in the car at that time were Yan Zhengqi's wife and daughter."
Yan Haoyu's deep voice surprised Tang Manman, she leaned close to the table and whispered gossip, "Yan Zhengqi is married?" ”
Yan Haoyu glanced at her meaningfully and added, "To be exact, it's a hidden marriage." The old man disliked the woman's family for not having power or power, so he always disagreed with this marriage. Although Yan Zhengqi did not agree with the old man, he didn't want his wife and daughter to be wronged with him. At that time, Yan Zhengqi went back to talk to the old man about the public marriage, and I remember that Yan Zhengqi's children were four or five years old at that time. ”
When Tang Manman heard that she was four or five years old, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, when she was sent to the orphanage, she was also at this age.
"The old man has a hard temperament and does not agree. The two had a big quarrel, and Yan Zhengqi left with his wife and daughter, and after leaving, he never had a chance to meet again. Yan Haoyu said to himself, sighing again and again, not noticing the change in Tang Manman's face at all.
Now that the old man is getting older and more and more longing for his relatives, he suspects that the girl is not dead, so he wants to find it back. Then, I found you. Are you listening to me? ”
Seeing Tang Manman's stunned appearance, Yan Haoyu called her several times in a row. She suddenly shook her body and smiled at Yan Haoyu, "I'm listening, I'm thinking about things just now, you go on"
Yan Haoyu stared at Tang Manman's slightly pale face, and continued in a deep voice: "I didn't mean to hide these things, I just thought that you would find out these things, and maybe you could find other clues." ”
"yes, I know." Tang Manman said perfunctorily, obviously absent-minded.
This can be described as explosive news, no one thought that Yan Zhengqi would have a wife and daughter. But at this time, Tang Manman's heart was not in the gossip, but in his own life experience, which had more doubts and ideas.
She held the cup in both hands, and although she was listening to someone, there was no focus in her eyes, and her mouth was slightly pursed.
But Tang Manman didn't speak, and Yan Haoyu didn't want to stay any longer, so he invited the waiter to settle the bill.
"Sir, it's a total of one hundred and thirty-five dollars."
Hearing the waiter speak, Tang Manman came back to his senses and grabbed the bill in his hand, "It's good that I'll come here, and I'll ask you to come anyway." ”
Yan Haoyu held her hand to hold the purse, "I also entrusted you with a pregnant woman to work overtime." Don't be polite to me. ”
Hearing this, Tang Manman smiled, it was not good to refuse again, he took off his coat and put on it and prepared to leave. Yan Haoyu got dressed and followed behind Tang Manman and said, "I see that you don't look good today, let's send you back to the hotel." ”
"The hotel I stayed at was just across the street."
Tang Manman smiled and pointed to the other side, not noticing that a figure on the other side of the road came angrily. When she saw that Yan Haoyu insisted on sending herself, she responded.
The two walked out of the café one after the other, talking and laughing along the way, like an office couple who had just gotten off work.
Waiting for the time of the red light, Yan Haoyu complained about the taste of the café just now, which made Tang Manman laugh more than once. Suddenly, she felt the air behind her feel cold, and she couldn't help but look back, and the whole person was stupid as if she had seen a ghost.
"Count, count the years!"
