The snow has not melted, and the winter nights are cold.

In the sanatorium, Cheng Jia'an declined Dr. Jin's kindness and was on duty alone at night. Since the death of his wife, Cheng Jia'an, who is not in good spirits, is basically on duty with the help of his colleagues. There are too many times, and Cheng Jia'an himself feels that he can't go, and he has to do it well.

The essentials of love, but the rules can't be messed up.

It was already the dead of night, and after registering the medical records at hand, Cheng Jia'an rubbed his numb face, looked at the clock on the wall, picked up a flashlight and came to the ward according to the specified time of the ward round, and patrolled room by room.

In the ward, the acquaintance Master Liu was still tossing and turning in bed and did not fall asleep, Cheng Jia'an stepped forward gently and asked in a low voice: "Master Liu, why haven't you fallen asleep yet, it's 2 o'clock." ”

Master Liu stroked his forehead and said bitterly: "Hey, I drank a little too much tea during the day, and I didn't sleep much in the first place, and now I can't sleep." ”

"In the future, drink less and make sure you get a good night's sleep!"

"Oh, I see!"

"Then I'll go on rounds, hurry up and go to sleep!"

After Cheng Jia'an finished explaining two sentences, he left gently. When he came to the 13-bed Chow Tai Fook bed, seeing that his quilt was not covered, Cheng Jia'an stepped forward to help him cover it carefully, and checked his pulse, but he didn't notice anything unusual, and left safely.

But just after Cheng Jia'an left, a terrifying incident happened.

Chow Tai Fook, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly opened his eyes, groped for the glass with canned fruit on the bedside table and took it into the quilt, "bang", I don't know what to break it with, but the sound of the glass breaking was blocked by the thick quilt, which did not cause anyone to be alarmed.

Chow Tai Fook trembled and picked up the broken glass, his eyes were full of despair, and he slashed at his wrist......

Early in the morning, the door of the duty room was knocked on by the pale Sister Liu, Cheng Jia'an hurriedly got dressed and opened the door, Sister Liu stumbled in, and shouted in a panic: "Doctor Cheng, it's not good, it's not good, the 13-bed Chow Tai Fook committed suicide!" ”

Hearing this thunderbolt on a sunny day, Cheng Jia'an was in a trance for a while, and almost didn't fall over, and asked in horror: "What did you say, Chow Tai Fook committed suicide?" ”

"Yes, the bed is full of blood, you can go and take a look!"

Cheng Jia'an said in a panic: "Hurry up!" Check it out. ”

Chow Tai Fook did commit suicide, the wound on his wrist was cut deeply, the gushing blood was covered by the quilt, and nothing could be seen from the appearance, but the quilt was lifted, and the blood on the bed looked extremely miserable.

Cheng Jia'an staggered into the ward, and when he saw all this, his face became even paler, and he hurriedly stepped forward to feel the pulse on his neck, only to be sure that Chow Tai Fook had been dead for a long time, and his whole body became stiff and abnormal.

Cheng Jia'an, who was palpitating, gently covered Chow Tai Fook's face with a quilt with a trembling hand, and listened to the onlookers' patients' discussions, and his heart couldn't help but panic even more.

"Why can't you think about it so much!"

"That's right, no matter how much you can't abuse yourself!"

"When is this happening, if you can find it early, you can save it?"

"Don't say it, if you can really find it early, maybe you can really save it!"

"Wasn't Dr. Cheng on duty last night, why didn't he find out?"

"Who knows, maybe he didn't make rounds last night......"

There was a burst of gossip, all kinds of speculations were patched together, and even developed into a trend of pouring dirty water on Cheng Jia'an.

The kind-hearted Master Liu on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted in a straight voice: "What are you people talking nonsense, you know what this has to do with Dr. Cheng!" I knew about Dr. Cheng's ward rounds last night, don't wronged good people! ”

The group of sick people watched Master Liu go crazy, shrank their heads in disdain, and didn't dare to make any more nonsense. Cheng Jia'an stood aside, not knowing what to do for a while. After a while, a group of hospital leaders rushed over, led by the director of the nursing home, and after inspecting the scene, the director frowned tightly and waved his hand to disperse the crowd of onlookers.

"Everyone disperse, don't watch here, protect the scene, wait for further investigation, let's disperse first."

Waiting for the crowd to slowly disperse, the dean came to Cheng Jia'an's side, frowned and hesitated for a long time, and said with a solemn expression: "Cheng Jia'an, the hospital has notified the Public Security Bureau and the family, you go back to the office first, don't go anywhere." ”

Cheng Jia'an was in a pang of his heart, his pale face was drenched in cold sweat, he subconsciously agreed, turned his head and left in despair, the dean looked at his soulless back, and didn't know how to persuade him, so he shook his head helplessly.

The police came very quickly, and the matter of unnatural death in a nursing home is a once-in-a-century thing, and the cause must of course be investigated clearly before it can be determined, and if it is not done, it will involve the problem of medical malpractice.

Cheng Jia'an, who was the doctor on duty, was the first to be listed as the target of the investigation, and in the small room of the hospital department, an investigation room was temporarily opened, and two cold-faced criminal policemen were interrogating and investigating Cheng Jia'an who was in a trance.

This is the first time since Cheng Jia'an practiced medicine that he has faced a bizarre death, and the pressure is as great as the sky falling. Coupled with his overwhelmed state of mind, it can be said that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the degree of panic and sorrow in it is unimaginable.

"Doctor Cheng, can you recall, when was the last ward round last night?" A tall police officer asked.

Cheng Jia'an replied tremblingly: "According to the rules of the hospital, it is at 2 o'clock at night. ”

"Can anyone prove that you checked the house at this time?"

"Hmm!" Cheng Jia'an tried hard to recall, and finally recalled from the chaotic memory: "Master Liu, who has 6 beds, can prove that he was not asleep at that time, and we talked twice." ”

"Then have you checked Chow Tai Fook's bed?"

"I've checked it, and I've checked my pulse and body temperature." Cheng Jia'an nodded and quickly explained.

"Didn't you notice that he was suicidal at the time?"

Cheng Jia'an shook his head lightly and said earnestly: "No, no, I can be sure that both of his hands are exposed, and I covered him with the quilt." ”

The policeman paused for a moment and asked, "Can anyone prove that you have checked Chow Tai Fook's bed?" ”

Cheng Jia'an shook his head bitterly, how can this kind of question be answered?

Do you need to bring a witness with you when you do your own rounds?

The two policemen looked at each other, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Doctor Cheng, as far as we know, since your wife died, your mental state has been not good, haven't you?" ”

Cheng Jia'an raised his head suddenly, and asked very puzzledly: "Does this have anything to do with my wife's death?" ”

The policeman pursed his lips, and his serious tone was incompatible: "We are only investigating, you just need to answer our questions." ”

Cheng Jia'an hung his head helplessly and said sadly: "Whose wife will not feel uncomfortable when she dies!" ”

It seemed that he also felt that his questioning was full of mistakes and omissions, the policeman pouted, stopped to ask, and could not hear any conclusion in his words: "Okay, our questioning will come here first, and you had better not leave the city in the near future, and actively cooperate with our next investigation." ”

Cheng Jia'an stood up in a panic, his body swaying slightly: "I, I know!" ”

Waiting for the police and Cheng Jiaan to walk out of the interrogation room together, I saw a crowd of people watching the excitement outside.

The deceased Chow Tai Fook's son Zhou Limin and daughter-in-law Ge Jinhua had also been waiting outside for a long time. Seeing Cheng Jia'an appear, the two rushed forward frantically despite the staff's obstruction, and the shrewd-like Ge Jinhua scratched Cheng Jia'an's face with a handful of them, and under the obstruction of the police, they were still roaring unrelentingly.

"You bastard, quack, you are a murderer, you don't want to die a good death, I'm going to sue you, we're going to make you pay for your blood debt!"

Zhou Limin on the side glared at the ferocious eyes, and responded to his daughter-in-law's words: "That's it, my dad can't just disappear in a daze, we have to ask for an explanation!" ”

The policeman who questioned him crossed his body in the middle and solemnly stopped: "Two comrades, please calm down, it is still under investigation, and it cannot be determined that this is the doctor's dereliction of duty." ”

Ge Jinhua's face was hideous, standing in place and constantly jumping on his feet, foaming at the mouth, and the words he said were even more unbearable: "What do you need to investigate, the person was put in the hospital well, and he died for no reason, it must be caused by his dereliction of duty, are you a sanatorium or a murder home." ”

The policeman sternly admonished: "This comrade, we policemen want to talk about the legal basis, and before the investigation is clear, please pay attention to your words and deeds, otherwise you will also bear certain legal consequences." ”

Even with the stern warning of the police, it didn't make Ge Jinhua restrain a point, and still roared violently: "Hmph, I'm not afraid, everyone is dying in the hospital, I have a reason wherever I go, I tell you, I will definitely sue this broken hospital, sue this murderer, I will make you pay." ”

Zhou Limin on the side said: "Yes, you must make them pay the price!" ”

The police investigation is actually a routine matter, and the wound on Chow Tai Fook's wrist can be seen as a suicide by anyone, and what he is afraid of is an unreasonable doctor-patient incident.

Looking at this arrogant couple who obviously had other plans, the police also had a headache, turned their heads and whispered a few words to the dean who accompanied them, and quickly led the team away.

The dean hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked Cheng Jia'an, who was covering his face and was in shock, "Doctor Cheng, are you okay?" ”

Cheng Jia'an, who had never encountered such a thing, was completely at a loss, and only after the dean's inquiry did he respond in panic: No...... It's okay!

The dean frowned, looked at the couple who were being stopped by the staff, and said in a low voice: "Doctor Cheng, you also know the opinion of the police. I think in this way, it is inconvenient for you to stay in the courtyard for the time being, so go home first. If there is any follow-up, we will inform you, and I will ask the car in the hospital to take you back. ”

Cheng Jia'an hurriedly waved his other hand, and said with a panicked expression: "No, I can go back myself." ”

The dean frowned, nodded his chin gestured, and persuaded: "Forget it, now that the family of the deceased is making such a fierce fuss, how can you still get out of the gate of the courtyard." Listen to me, let Lao Lu drive it. ”

Cheng Jia'an looked at Ge Jinhua who was glaring angrily and scolding opposite him in a panic, and responded tremblingly: "Okay, it's troublesome to the dean." ”

Under the arrangement of the dean, Lu Guangping drove the car over, Cheng Jia'an got into the car surrounded by several colleagues, and Ge Jinhua on the other side still caught up and shouted reluctantly.

"Don't go, don't go...... Hum! It's useless for you to run, but if you can run, the monk can run the temple? Wait, I'll go to court and sue you!" ”

Zhou Limin also shouted on the side: "Yes, kill to pay for life, blood debt and blood to pay!" ”

Hearing these scolding voices through the car window, Cheng Jia'an was really exhausted, and it seemed that he could no longer support his precarious mental head, and almost fainted on the seat, and Lu Guangping, who was driving next to him, shouted anxiously.

"Lao Cheng, are you okay? Old Cheng ......"

Cheng Jia'an waved his hand weakly and said faintly: "It's okay, let's go!" ”

Lu Guangping glanced at the scar on the side of Cheng Jia'an's cheek that was scratched by Ge Jinhua, and the long bloody mouth was faintly oozing blood, which looked very miserable.

He frowned for a while, and sighed: "Hey, why are you involved in such a thing again, it's really unlucky!" But don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you at all, don't worry, the hospital will definitely help you deal with it. ”

Cheng Jia'an nodded noncommittally and said bitterly: "Hey, I know." ”

escorted Cheng Jia'an back to his home all the way, helped him sit down, and looked at the languishing Cheng Jia'an, Lu Guangping was worried for a while.

"Lao Cheng, can you stay alone?"

Cheng Jia'an reluctantly propped up his waist: "I'm fine, Lao Lu, I'm sorry for you." ”

Lu Guangping stepped forward to help, frowned and said with relief: "Look at what you said, we are all old friends and old neighbors, why are you polite to me." Lao Cheng, relax your snacks, it's okay. ”

Cheng Jia'an perked up a little, nodded and said, "I know, thank you, you can go and get busy with you." ”

"Then you have a good rest, don't think so much." Lu Guangping confessed very uneasily, and then left step by step.

Cheng Jia'an seemed to be unable to hold on to the mental oppression anymore, and staggered to the bedside, sitting in a daze, like a clay sculpture that had completely lost its soul.
