Card Room - 229

【Chapter 312, The Dead】

In order to prevent Zhao Sen from leaving and returning, Xiaolou and Liu Qiao immediately sent back to Taohuayuan after inspecting the other drawers in the morgue.

The entrance to Taohuayuan is in the VIP ward of the General Surgery. At this time, there is only Yu Hanjiang in the ward.

The lights in the entire ward of the inpatient department were turned off, and Yu Hanjiang drew the curtains and turned on the torch of the mobile phone to illuminate it.

Liu Qiao’s face turned pale, and after entering the door, he leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. Even though she was brave and not afraid of corpses, the scene just now greatly stimulated her. Up to now, her mind is still playing back repeatedly. There are fragments of human heads in the black garbage bag.

Xiao Lou was not feeling well, Zhao Sen’s face was only 10 centimeters away from him just now, and his heart almost stopped beating at that moment.

Seeing the two paler faces than the other, Yu Hanjiang asked concerned: “Are you all right?”

“It’s okay.” Xiao Lou exhaled gently, holding his mind, and looking at Yu Hanjiang: “Do you know what happened just now?”

“Well, I can feel it in my heart.” Yu Hanjiang reached out from the bedside table and handed each of them a bottle of mineral water, so that they could drink some water and be shocked. Liu Qiao trembling with his fingers, unscrewed the bottle cap hard, raised his head and slurped several sips of water, then said dumbly: “Unexpectedly, Zhao Sen actually hid the body of his cousin in the hospital morgue.”

“Neither did I expect…” Xiao Lou rubbed his forehead with a headache. “At that time, the story of the Secret Room of Hearts 2 was replayed. When Zhao Sen took his cousin’s body with a suitcase, I thought he would be in the wilderness. Throw the corpse.”

“Sit down and talk.” Yu Hanjiang motioned to the two of them to sit down on the sofa. He leaned on the bedside and calmly analyzed, “For Zhao Sen, the hospital environment is the most familiar to him. Most people don’t go to the morgue when they are bored. The cousin’s head is hidden in a space in the morgue, and he can check it out at any time.”

“That’s right. Throwing the corpse in the wild, maybe you will be found, and you can be in his control if you bring it back to the hospital.” Xiao Lou unscrewed the mineral water and took a couple of sips. With Yu Hanjiang by his side, his mood gradually calmed down. . Recalling carefully, Zhao Sen’s psychology was actually evident when he first entered the secret room of hearts.

“Remember, after Zhao Sen killed his wife, he put his wife’s body on a bed of roses, like a piece of art.” Xiao Lou turned to look at Yu Hanjiang and said, “I was caught when I entered the 2nd Chamber of Hearts. The scene was shocked. It was the first time I went to the crime scene.”

“Me too, the smell of roses in the room, mixed with the smell of corpses, I almost spit it out on the spot. I just bite the bullet to gather clues when I saw the countdown…” Liu Qiao recalled the scene and frowned. “In this way, from the very beginning, Zhao Sen liked to make the corpse into a’specimen’ after killing people?”

“Well, the rose bed looks like a human specimen. The cut surface of He Yongqiang’s head we just found in the morgue is very neat. For Zhao Sen, it is also a work of art.” Xiao Lou said with a wry smile.

“He left his cousin’s head in the mortuary, perhaps to commemorate. After he is free, he can go to the mortuary to see his masterpiece.” Yu Hanjiang added calmly.

“…” Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao had nothing to say.

Normal people simply cannot understand Zhao Sen’s thinking. Most murderers will inevitably be scared after killing people. The farther the corpse is thrown, the better. He actually left the head of the corpse as a specimen and kept it beside him. He also went to “visit” from time to time. It was really abnormal!

Liu Qiao shook the goose bumps all over his body, took a deep breath, and quickly changed the subject: “By the way, the other suspicious corpse we found in the morgue, Professor Xiao thinks, will it have something to do with Zhao Sen?”

“Probably not.” Xiao Lou frowned and analyzed it carefully. “Zhao Sen is a heart surgery doctor who specializes in heart surgery. The suspicious corpses we found may have undergone kidney removal. The higher the level of doctors, the more specialized. The more detailed the division, I personally think that the kidney surgery has little to do with Zhao Sen.”

“What do you mean is that the doctors of heart surgery may not do kidney surgery?” Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice.

“Of course. The training of surgeons is a very long process. Many surgeons graduated in their twenties and can only perform surgeons in their thirties. Complex operations like heart transplantation and kidney transplantation are generally over 40 years old. The professor dared to do it. Let the heart surgery doctors do kidney surgery, which is almost the same as the inter-bank.” Xiao Lou told Yu Hanjiang what he knew about the hospital, “Zhao Sen seems to be in his thirties. The point of two specialized operations.”

“Well, I also think that Zhao Sen is a disturbing item that creates panic. There should be someone else in the hospital case.” Yu Hanjiang agreed with Xiao Lou’s inference. Xiao Lou took out his mobile phone and handed it to Yu Hanjiang. Before Zhao Sen walked into the morgue, he took a few photos of the scars on the corpse in the last few seconds.

Yu Hanjiang took it and saw that the old surgical scars on the front right upper abdomen and right lower abdomen of the deceased were obvious and ugly. But the scar on the back waist is very shallow, and it is easy to miss if you don’t look carefully, the scar has almost been absorbed.

“Is it the reason for the long operation time?” Yu Hanjiang asked.

“The sutures are not the same.” Xiao Lou explained, “Ordinary surgical sutures heal quickly, but they need to be removed and the scars will be more obvious. There is also a thinner thread, usually used in plastic surgery, after healing. The scar will be relatively shallow. The sutures used for the front and back surgical wounds of the deceased were different, and the suture technique was obviously different from the same doctor.”

“It seems that he had three operations before and after?”

“Yeah. It is not uncommon for patients who have undergone three or four operations in the hospital, but this person’s surgical wound is not normal. The time is rushed tonight. From the location of the wound and missing ribs, it can be inferred that he has had kidney-related operations. , I don’t have time to dissect the corpse, so I can’t judge it.” Xiao Lou paused and said, “I want to check his case. There may be clues.”

“Professor Xiao, I will check with you.” Liu Qiao offered to ask.

“It’s already two o’clock in the morning, Xiao Liu, go back to bed first.” Xiao Lou looked at Liu Qiao with a gentle gaze.

An 18-year-old girl followed Xiao Lou to the morgue in the middle of the night. She was shocked by the sudden appearance of Zhao Sen and her severed head. Besides, she was still sick and severely anemia. Xiao Lou couldn’t bear to let her. Keep busy.

“Go, there is us here.” Yu Hanjiang nodded towards Liu Qiao, “Besides, if you have been out of the ward for so long, if you are discovered by the doctor on duty, it is easy to cause suspicion.”

“Okay.” Both Team Yu and Professor Xiao asked her to go back, and Liu Qiao stopped insisting. She took off the nurse’s gown and replaced it with a blue and white checkered hospital gown, using the “body as light as a swallow” light skill card. Go out through the window.

Xiao Lou returned to the duty room and carried his laptop to Yu Hanjiang’s ward to check the information together.

The name of the deceased male was Liu Renyuan. After Xiao Lou opened the office software of the hospital and entered the name of “Liu Renyuan”, he quickly found his medical records.

While checking, Xiao Lou read the medical records to Yu Hanjiang in person: “Patient Liu Renyuan, male, 35 years old, had an’appendectomy’ in the outpatient clinic due to acute appendicitis three years ago; he was admitted to our hospital in March last year due to’gallbladder stones’. Hepatobiliary surgery, performing’cholecystectomy’. The main complaints of this admission are waist pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, headache, and admission to the nephrology ward…”

Xiao Lou couldn’t help but wonder when he read this: “The last time he was hospitalized was half a month ago. He lived in the Department of Nephrology. The cause of death was acute renal failure. There is no record of any kidney-related surgery in the medical record.”

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: “He didn’t perform his kidney surgery in this hospital?”

Xiao Lou looked at the case again suspiciously, and said: “When the doctor examines the body, the surgical scar should not be missed. If there is a previous operation history, it will also be written in the medical record, but his case did not mention it. From the operation Judging from the healing of the scar, the operation time should have exceeded one year.”

If the kidney surgery was performed before admission, the column of “Past History” will definitely write “Patient X years X months have had XX surgery in XX Hospital”, and the physical examination will also indicate “Patient’s right rear 12 ribs position” There are surgical scars about 10cm in length.” These are the norms for writing medical records. However, only two surgical scars on the front were written in his medical record, and there was no explanation for the scars on the back waist.

Yu Hanjiang asked with a calm face, “Could it be that his operation record was missed?”

Xiao Lou shook his head: “The anesthesiologist, the surgeon, the first assistant, the second assistant, the head nurse, the instrument nurse, the hand washing nurse in the operating room…Each operation requires a lot of medical staff to work together, and the patient will have to go back after the operation. For a period of perioperative care, there are more than a dozen medical staff involved in an operation. I want to erase all the traces, and the workload is too much.”

Yu Hanjiang thoughtfully: “Do you think the possibility of a joint cooperation case within the hospital is high?”

“I don’t know.” Xiao Lou’s expression was complicated. “If it is a hospital’s internal joint cooperation case, and his operation records are cleared, it will definitely involve the hospital’s leaders and senior management. Otherwise, with so many people, it will be too difficult to seal… ”

Yu Hanjiang gently pressed his temple. If a team commits the crime, the investigation will be complicated. The suspects will shield each other and give each other alibi, which will bring great difficulties to the investigation and evidence collection. But his speculation is not necessarily correct. After all, there are too few clues from the corpse. It is not the first time that Secret Chamber of Hearts made a mistake in reasoning at the beginning, and it is still impossible to draw a conclusion.

This Liu Renyuan’s surgical scar is indeed strange, without any relevant records, as if it appeared out of thin air. Whether his kidneys really disappeared, Xiao Lou couldn’t confirm because he didn’t have an autopsy.

“Let’s rest first. I’ll check with the doctor who treated him tomorrow.” Yu Hanjiang whispered.

“How is the situation on Mr. Shao?” Xiao Lou walked to the hospital bed and asked worriedly, “Is there something abnormal in the bug?”

“Just now I heard Zhao Sen entered the intensive care unit and told the nurse to change the medicine at the bedside of President Shao. After the explanation, he went out and didn’t come in again.” Yu Hanjiang gently pressed the back of Xiao Lou’s hand and said softly, ” Don’t worry, I will always pay attention to Mr. Shao. You will sleep for a while and get up tomorrow morning.”

“You have just finished the operation, and the wound is still not healed.” Xiao Lou pointed to Yu Hanjiang’s right lower abdomen and said seriously, “I am a patient, don’t always tell me the doctor to rest, you should also go to bed.”

“…” Yu Hanjiang almost forgot the fact that he was a patient. The patient asked the doctor to rest, but his identity seemed to be reversed. Looking at Xiao Lou’s serious expression, Yu Hanjiang couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth and whispered: “Okay, Doctor Xiao, we should all rest.”

“Well, take a little sleep to raise your energy.” Xiao Lou turned to sleep on the sofa, always feeling uneasy.

What if Yu Hanjiang’s speculation is true?

In this hospital’s internal joint cooperation case, many doctors and nurses were involved in organ smuggling. When the patients living in this hospital got off the operating table, they unknowingly lost a kidney, and the operation records were deliberately erased…

Or, the patient secretly signs an agreement to sell organs to those in need, and the hospital acts as an intermediary agency to privately participate in organ sales.

In either case, this is simply a death hospital.

All night, Xiao Lou couldn’t sleep well. In his dreams, he always saw Zhao Sen staring at him coldly, and saw He Yongqiang’s severed head rolling around in the drawer of the morgue. He also dreamed of someone. Holding a bloody scalpel, he secretly cut off his kidney.

When he woke up in the morning, Xiao Lou broke out in a cold sweat.

At eight o’clock in the morning, the ward rounds. Xiao Lou followed the professors through the general surgery ward, focusing on police officer Yu Hanjiang who was hospitalized with work-related injuries. It was already half past nine after the inspection, and Xiao Lou was about to go to other wards to see his teammates when the phone rang suddenly.

The caller ID is an unfamiliar number. Xiao Lou is the head of the surgical hospital, and the entire hospital has his on-duty phone number. It is estimated that which department called for the consultation. Xiao Lou walked to a quiet corner and answered the phone: “Hello.”

To his surprise, Long Sen’s eager voice came from his ear: “Professor Xiao, one person died early in the morning in our orthopedic surgery ward, and he was in the ward next to me! The deceased was a 35-year-old young man who just finished yesterday. The lumbar spine replacement surgery was pulled for rescue early this morning. The doctors worked for a long time, saying that the rescue was ineffective and declared clinical death.”

Xiao Lou quickly wrote down the name of the patient mentioned by Long Sen, planning to go to the hospital system to check the medical record of the deceased.

Just hung up the phone, another unfamiliar caller——

Ye Qi’s crisp childish voice came over the phone: “Professor Xiao, a pediatric patient died. It was the little girl Chen Yuqing whom you had seen yesterday. I heard that she had a heart attack suddenly.”

Xiao Lou was stunned, put down his phone, and found two more messages popped up on the screen.

“Professor Xiao, the line is busy and I can’t get through. Let me report to you. This is Qu Wanyue. A 28-year-old young woman in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology died suddenly this morning. The cause of death is unknown. I am trying to find a way to investigate.”

“I am Lao Mo. An elderly patient in the Department of Endocrinology died suddenly, and his family members circled around in the corridor to make trouble.”

Xiao Lou: “………………”

Xiaolou today is still very busy.
