heart poison

"Have you heard that a nurse in the Seventh Hospital had her throat cut! Tsk tsk tsk, it's not peaceful anywhere!"

The rush hour for work has long passed, and it is approaching noon, and the taxi business is average. The 40-year-old "brother" Feng Xuemin got up early and was lucky. He pulled out several orders in the morning and was not stuck on the road. He charged three people's money in one trip and earned enough in just over an hour. The money that must be handed over to the company is followed by a net profit, and whatever you earn goes into your own pocket.

He was in a good mood, with his mobile phone on the console, holding the steering wheel with his left hand while pinching cigarettes, and clicking a few times on the screen with his right hand from time to time, talking nonsense with the drivers in the "brother's sister" group in a rough voice.

"How many things have happened recently? Tell me, aren't the police really useless? I really fucked up these bastards, wasting our taxpayers' money, all of them are sitting in the office, what the hell is going on They will come out and post fines on the car to boost their performance, which is even more 'beautiful' than those who sell houses and sell Amway! It's time to fucking catch the prisoner, everyone is so cowardly, everyone is so stupid, and they can't catch the murderer for a long time!" Feng Xuemin talked more and more vigorously, "These gangsters rely on their family connections, their father is powerful, so they wear police uniforms, what do they work, don't they all rely on our taxpayers' money to support them. Listen carefully, Let me put Feng Xuemin's words here first, these gangsters have no ability to solve the case, and they will definitely catch some scapegoats after a while! Brothers, be alert, don't be caught as scapegoats, and torture will kill you!"

Some people in the group agreed, while others complained: "Brother Feng, how much did you earn last month? Pay a fart tax! I, a real taxpayer, haven't even said anything, you fake and shoddy? "

Feng Xuemin likes to show off his prestige, but he is also timid. When no one hates him, he can push himself to the sky when he talks, but once someone exposes his shortcomings, he will immediately shrink back. Dare to argue, don't dare to sulk, just say a few words along the other side, and the topic will be stopped.

Hearing that his income was complained about, Feng Xuemin scolded bitterly in his heart, but there was a forced smile on his face, "I'm going to yell, this is called being poor and happy, people are alive, and their mentality is... oh fuck !"

There was a screeching sound of brakes, followed by a muffled sound. Feng Xuemin's car hit the railing on the side of the road, and a minivan barely stopped less than half a meter away from the front of his car.

Feng Xuemin was still in shock, he kept stroking his chest, sweating profusely, and whispered: "I was scared to death! Damn, I was scared to death!"

"Do you fucking know how to drive?" The driver of the minivan slammed down the door and angrily kicked the taxi door, "Driving on the road of Lao Tzu, deaf or mentally retarded? Can't hear the horn? Fuck you Playing on your phone while driving?"

Feng Xuemin's mind was still numb, and he didn't realize it for a long time, "I...I..."

"Come out!" The driver of the pickup truck kicked the door again, "What are you hiding from? Can you fucking hide?"

??

"What's going on over there?" The police car passed by the overpass, Hua Chong lowered the window and looked under the overpass, "The taxi and the pickup truck collided?"

"If it really hits, the taxi driver will be in danger. How can he stand on the side of the road and argue with the truck driver?" Liu Zhiqin also looked under the bridge.His position is better than Hua Chong's, and he can see more clearly, "The taxi hit the railing, but luckily the pickup braked in time."

"Did the taxi drive the wrong way?" Hua Chong said.

"Well, the driver may not be paying attention, and he is playing with his mobile phone while driving." Liu Zhiqin said: "There are quite a few such situations. I once took a taxi and saw the driver chatting with three mobile phones."

"You didn't remind him?"

"Why?" Liu Zhiqin smiled: "I still care about my personal safety. But..."

Hua Chong raised his eyebrows, "Is there still 'but'? He won't listen?"

"That's not true. He turned off the chat software on all three mobile phones, and then chatted with me."

Zhang Mao, who was sitting in the driver's seat, let out a "puchi" laugh.

"Drive your car well." Hua Chong patted the back of the chair.

"Oh." Zhang Trade had no choice but to drive honestly.

"Taxi drivers are very good at talking, but the content is a bit bad." Liu Zhiqin said: "I scolded the police all the way, and said that the police are useless. After that, my mind was full of 'taxpayers', and I really thought for a long time whether I was sorry for the taxpayers."

"Hey!" Zhang Mao sighed, "I have encountered this kind of thing too! Being a policeman is like owing money to the people of the whole country! What about the sacrificed policemen? Do taxpayers owe their lives?"

"Eating the police's job, you will encounter these things sooner or later, just don't take it to heart." Hua Chong looked ahead, "When you get off the interchange, you will be on the left, and the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital is at the intersection on the left."

??

"Lu Keqian is indeed an employee of our hospital." The scale of the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital is not as large as that of the Seventh Hospital, and the inpatient department is relatively old, but the management is still quite standard. A head nurse on duty poured a few cups of tea with an unhappy expression, and put A stack of files was placed on the table.

Not long ago, the leader above called her to the office, saying that because of the recent murder case, the police from the city bureau wanted to learn about the medical accident that year, and asked her to receive and cooperate with the investigation.

In any hospital, medical malpractice is like a scar and a scandal. She instinctively resented mentioning it, but she had to do it as the leader told her.

After all, Lu Ke—the little girl who used to work here was murdered.

Hua Chong took the document, flipped through a few pages, and asked bluntly, "What's the matter with the medical accident?"

The head nurse sighed, "Medical accidents have nothing to do with Lu Ke, it's our hospital's responsibility."

Five years ago, an elderly woman was admitted to the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital. She was in constant condition in the early stage of pregnancy, and her health was relatively poor. In the late stage of pregnancy, various physical indicators showed serious problems.Giving birth to an elderly woman is a relatively dangerous thing. At that time, the obstetrics department unanimously decided to perform a caesarean section for her. However, the mother and her family were influenced by traditional concepts and insisted on giving birth naturally. They believed that the child who gave birth naturally was smart, and the mother who gave birth naturally had the responsibility of being a mother.

Whether to choose a caesarean section or a normal delivery, the hospital only has the right to suggest and persuade, and cannot make decisions for the mother and her family.Since the mother insisted on giving birth smoothly, the hospital could only follow suit.

During the delivery, the mother suffered from multiple organ failure, her blood pressure continued to be unstable, accompanied by massive bleeding, and emergency surgery failed to save her life.The condition of the child who was barely born was also very bad. Although he saved his life, he was sent to the intensive care unit as soon as he was born.

The family members of the mother demanded that the hospital must keep the child, and the obstetrics department did its best.

Lu Ke was a member of the intensive care team. After working for days, she fainted from fatigue and was temporarily evacuated. She was replaced by Chen Juan, another experienced nurse in the obstetrics department.

But the nurse, who never made a mistake, made a mistake and the baby died.

This matter caused a stir in the Los Angeles medical community. Chen Juan committed suicide after the autopsy results came out. Although the hospital paid huge compensation and apologized to the family of the mother, the family still refused to accept it, claiming that the nurse involved must be punished.

But the nurse involved had committed suicide.

The hospital and the police station kept sending people to work with the family members, but the family members heard from outsiders that the nurse involved, Chen Juan, was temporarily transferred and that the nurse who was supposed to take care of the children was Lu Ke, so they asked the hospital to hand over Lu Ke.

"This is completely unreasonable." Hua Chong said: "Although the relationship between doctors and patients is tense now, the hospital will meet some of the patients' demands even if it is reasonable in order to calm things down. But Lu Ke has nothing to do with this matter at all. What reason pushed her to the forefront?"

The head nurse quickly waved her hand, "It's not like that, it's not like that! We didn't push Lu Ke out. Indeed, as you said, the hospital sometimes has to calm things down, but we can't do that by throwing out our own employees as scapegoats." Come out. The family has been making trouble in the hospital all day long, and the obstetrics department let her rest with pay in order to protect Lu Ke."

"In other words, Lu Ke didn't have a direct conflict with the mother's family?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

"No. The family actually just wanted money. The more troubles there are, the more compensation will be paid." The head nurse said, "It took about a month. We added another sum to the original compensation. , they stopped. After this matter subsided, Lu Ke came back to work."

Hua Chong was slightly puzzled, "Didn't they continue to ask the hospital for anything?"

The head nurse shook her head, "Not anymore."

"Why did Naluke resign?"

"This incident still had a big impact on her. Besides, didn't the news often report that doctors and nurses were hacked by patients again?" The head nurse showed a disappointed expression, "She came back with me not long after. She said that she wanted to resign. I asked her what she planned to do in the future, and she said that she would take a break first, and maybe change another profession. The nurses are leaving, and we can’t keep them. She wants to change professions, and we all bless her. Throw her a farewell party. But she, she shouldn't have lied to us."

"Cheat?" Liu Zhiqin asked: "What did she lie to you?"

"She didn't want to change another industry at all, she wanted to change another unit!" The head nurse said excitedly, "Not long after she resigned, she went to work in the Seventh Hospital. You guys may not know that the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Seventh Hospital Shang is the best obstetrics and gynecology department in our city, and it is well-known in the whole province. Hey, water flows to low places, and people go to high places. She wants to change jobs. Tell us, and we won’t stop her. She really didn't need to hide it from all of us. Besides, the hospital really didn't let her suffer the slightest bit of grievances about the medical accident. Loss fee, she treats us like outsiders, it's really chilling..."

"Please give me the contact information of the mother's family." Hua Chong interrupted the head nurse's chatter, and tapped his index finger on the table.

"This..." The head nurse showed a distressed look—the leader only asked her to tell the police of the city bureau about the medical accident that year, and did not say that she could disclose the information of the patient's family. "I have to ask for instructions."

Hua Chong nodded, and gave Zhang Mao a wink, "Follow."

After the head nurse and Zhang Trade left, only Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin were left in the reception room.

Hua Chong opened the file again, and asked while looking at it, "What do you think?"

"When I first learned that Lu Ke was related to the medical accident, my first reaction was that the patient's family was seeking revenge. But now it seems..." Liu Zhiqin paused for a moment, "If the head nurse didn't distort the facts just now, then the family is seeking revenge. The possibility is not very high. First, Lu Ke himself has nothing to do with the medical accident. Second, the family members have already received financial compensation that exceeds expectations. Third, five years have passed since the incident. You can't wait until five years later to retaliate, right? Five years can already allow an ordinary family to start a new life."

"It wasn't her who caused the medical accident. She didn't kill anyone, so what is she afraid of?" Hua Chong said: "Her reaction in the elevator is obviously a guilty conscience and extreme fear."

Liu Zhiqin stood up and took two steps, "No, she 'killed' someone."

Hua Chong looked up, "Huh?"

"The nurse who replaced her, Chen Juan." Liu Zhiqin said: "Let's not think about it from the perspective of a bystander, we have to bring it into her own—after the medical accident happened, she was still a little lucky, thinking that Fortunately, it was not her who made the mistake, but after Chen Juan committed suicide due to shame, she began to panic, thinking that she was also responsible. If it wasn't for her physical condition, then she was the one who took care of the baby at that time, and she would never make mistakes. Then the baby She will not die, and Chen Juan will not commit suicide. She has been living with self-blame all these years, and Lan Jing's death is a big stimulus to her. The person she 'saw' in the elevator at night may be Chen Juan."

Hua Chong was silent for a long time, then shook his head slightly, "It makes sense, but I still think it's far-fetched."

"Really?" Liu Zhiqin folded his arms, "But for some people, the reason is far-fetched, but for others, it is a trap that they can't get out of no matter how hard they try."

Hua Chongdao: "Then how should I explain the murder of Lu Ke? She thought she was responsible for Chen Juan's suicide, and Chen Juan's family also thought so? So it was Chen Juan's family who killed Lu Ke? The Luo Xingshan case is currently being dealt with together, and the murderer in the two cases is the same person, so does Chen Juan's family have a grudge against Luo Xingshan?"

Liu Zhiqin frowned, "I haven't thought of going to Luo Xingshan's side yet."

At this time, Zhang Mao came back, holding the contact information of the family members involved in the medical accident.

Hua Chong said: "Go again and ask about Chen Juan's family situation."

Zhang Trade was a little confused, "Huh?"

"Don't 'ah', hurry up."

Zhang Trade had no choice but to go to the head nurse again. Liu Zhiqin smiled lightly, "Even if it feels far-fetched, won't you let it go easily?"

"You are right, far-fetched or not, everyone has a different understanding. I think far-fetched may be a 'demon' for the victim, and may be the reason for the murderer." Hua Chong said : "You and I are not Lu Ke. Even if we think from her point of view, it is impossible to completely agree with her thoughts. Moreover, many behaviors of people cannot be explained by themselves. They are accidental and random. Now that you think of this If there is such a possibility, I can't shelve it at will. I have to be responsible for the case, and I have to be responsible for my team members."

Liu Zhiqin narrowed his eyes.

Hua Chong glanced at him, "Are you 'translating' what I just said?"

"You can see all of this." Liu Zhiqin's smile became more sly, "Then tell me, what did I 'translate' into?"

Hua Chong said without hesitation, "I have to be responsible to you."

Liu Zhiqin didn't expect him to answer so simply, but was speechless instead.

Hua Chong's face was calm, but his heart beat several times back and forth at half a beat.

Zhang Trade came back at a very timely time. He didn't hear the previous words, but heard the sentence "I have to be responsible to you".

fuck!

Seeing Zhang Mao who was stupidly standing at the door, Hua Chong coughed, "So fast? The work efficiency is good, Comrade Xiao Zhang."

Hearing the word "comrade", combined with the context just now, Zhang Mao's eyelids twitched a few times, and he said silently: I am not gay, I am straight!

But he had to report honestly: "Chen Juan is not a local, her parents are abroad, and she has a younger brother named Chen Chen. Currently, she has no relatives in Hanoi. However, the specific situation needs to be verified."

"You can handle the verification and ask Yuan Hao to send you a few people." After Hua Chong finished speaking, he added: "Don't delay, check it out as soon as possible, and try to report to me before tonight."

"Yes!"

"Let's go see this Ji Chengliang." Hua Chong flicked the paper in his hand, raised his chin towards Liu Zhiqin, "Let's go."

??

A taxi almost collided with a pickup truck, the roadside guardrail was damaged, and a long queue suddenly formed on the already congested bustling road.The traffic police rushed to the scene, and the accident responsibility appraisal was quickly released-the taxi drove illegally and took full responsibility.

Feng Xuemin was dejected, and felt that he was in great trouble.

After the drivers in the "Brother's Sister" group learned that he was in a car accident, those who had joked with him not long ago almost stopped talking, but those who usually don't talk much expressed concern.

"Bah! A bunch of heartless bastards!" The car couldn't be driven, Feng Xuemin was sitting on the side of the road smoking, the more he thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt, and he didn't dare to explode, so he could only smoke fiercely while cursing in a low voice.

After working as a taxi driver for more than ten years, he understood that the drivers were at most drinking and meat friends, and if they had nothing to do with each other, no one would help each other if something happened.I can't blame them, after all, they are all competitors. If you earn 100 yuan more today, I will have to eat less meat.

Today's situation, who is to blame?Don't you blame yourself for being a little bit behind!

Feng Xuemin finished smoking a cigarette, then lit another, his eyes hurt from the smoke, he opened and closed, and thought of that young man.

What is that man's name?

Can't remember.

"Tsk!" Feng Xuemin shook his head, tried his best to recall, but still couldn't remember the name of that person, only remembered that he was a very enthusiastic young man.

Yes, it is enthusiasm.

No wonder it suddenly occurred to me, isn't it because of his warm heart?

If that young man was still there, Feng Xuemin thought, if such a big accident happened to him today, he would definitely ask in the group: "Brother Feng, what's the matter, Brother Feng? If you need my help, just say it, don't worry about it." You are welcome!"

It's a pity, most of the warm-hearted people don't get good rewards.

What is the saying?have a finger in the pie.

"Tut tsk tsk!" Feng Xuemin flicked the butt of the cigarette away, and sat for a long time before standing up, and said to himself, "What's the matter with you? Put your life on it Now, is it worth it?"

The car had already been towed for repairs—it might not be possible, so Feng Xuemin patted his pants and walked to the bus stop.

When his back was getting smaller and smaller and almost merged into the crowd of people on the zebra crossing, a well-dressed man in his 50s came to the place where he sat not long ago and looked at him with cold eyes until he disappeared completely Cross the street.

??

Ji Chengliang is a support worker at Los Angeles No. 45 Middle School. He is [-] years old. He lost his wife Jiao Wei five years ago and his unnamed daughter. Now he has formed a family with a divorced woman with children.

The sudden visit by the police made him very nervous, and when he heard about "City Maternal and Child Health Hospital", his face turned pale, and he quickly explained: "At that time, the forensic doctor issued the appraisal report, and it was the nurses in the hospital who did not care properly and caused my child's death. I didn't make any medical troubles! I was seeking compensation from the hospital under legal and reasonable circumstances!"

Hua Chong signaled him to be calm and calm, "It's been five years, I'm not here today to investigate the problem of whether doctors make trouble or not."

"Then what do you want to know?" Ji Chengliang was puzzled, "The hospital asked you to come here? Want me to return the compensation? This is not acceptable! They killed my child, and I..."

"Don't get excited." Liu Zhiqin asked: "Do you still have any impression of the name Lu Ke?"

"Lu Ke?" Ji Chengliang frowned.He was not a good-looking man, he gave off a false feeling when he smiled, and he looked ferocious and fierce when he frowned.

For a moment, he shook his head blankly, "I can't remember. Is it a student or teacher of our school?"

"It's the nurse who took care of your child back then." Hua Chong said.

Ji Chengliang's eyes tightened, "It's her?"

"You can't remember?"

"Is that the nurse who asked for leave?"

Liu Zhiqin nodded, "Yes, that's her. After Chen Juan committed suicide—you must remember the name Chen Juan. You and your family asked the hospital to hand over Lu Ke. Is there such a thing?"

Ji Chengliang turned his eyes away, looking very uncomfortable, "Well, I, I just want to ask her face to face, what was she doing when my child had an accident."

"But in fact, you know in your heart that your child's death has nothing to do with her." Liu Zhiqin said while observing Ji Chengliang, and said slowly: "So after five years, you can't even remember her name. "

"I..." Ji Chengliang gritted his teeth, "Let me tell you clearly, I asked the hospital to hand her over at that time, not for anything else, but to get more compensation! My wife and children died in the hospital, and the hospital cannot Just send me away? My wife and they couldn’t save them, so we blamed us for not having a caesarean section! Could it be that their hospital didn’t have the slightest fault? All right, I won’t pursue my wife’s matter, but my child’s matter will never Forget it, right? They have to pay!"

Hearing this, Hua Chong was sure that it was impossible for Ji Chengliang to kill Lu Ke. He didn't have such a strong hatred, and his life was stable now, and he had no motive for committing the crime.

However, Liu Zhiqin still asked a key question, "Where were you after 12 o'clock last night?"

"12 o'clock?" Ji Chengliang thought for a while, "I went to bed early. What are you asking?"

"It's nothing, let's find out by the way." Liu Zhiqin asked again, "Have you been in touch with Jiao Wei's family in recent years?"

"It was broken early." Ji Chengliang waved his hand, "She is from the countryside, her parents and brothers are all in the countryside, and the cemetery in the city is expensive, and she left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to prepare...Later, her family took her away. Take them back to my hometown for burial. After I remarried, I have no contact with them."

??

It was getting late, and the canteen of Los Angeles No. 20 Middle School had already started serving dinner. Based on the principle of not being hungry to handle the case, Hua Chong borrowed a meal card from a student to pay for a meal worth more than 30 yuan, and then gave the other party [-] yuan.

Looking at a table full of dishes packed in takeaway boxes, Liu Zhiqin smiled and said, "It's still cheaper in the school cafeteria."

"Eat quickly, we have a meeting when we go back." Hua Chong thought that his hands were not convenient, so he broke off the chopsticks for him in advance, "Ji Chengliang can't be the murderer, he didn't have much affection for his deceased wife and children. A line can be ruled out.”

"Yeah." Liu Zhiqin said, "Ji Chengliang and Luo Xingshan don't know each other either."

Hua Chong picks and chooses in the takeaway box, "I have a feeling that Lu Ke's resignation is not as simple as we understand. She wants to change the environment, and the reason for changing the environment is not the medical accident that happened before. It was five years ago that she changed her job, and it was also five years ago that she moved. Changing jobs can be understood as wanting to change the environment for development, so what about moving? What made her not only change jobs, but also change her residence?"

Liu Zhiqin was holding a piece of spare ribs, but he didn't put it in his mouth for a long time.

Hua Chong was about to remind him not to worry too much about the case, when he suddenly heard the sound of pots and pans falling on the ground in the distance.Looking up, I saw a boy fell by the window, and a middle-aged man in his fifties who looked like a teacher was helping him clean up the dishes all over the floor.

Liu Zhiqin also turned around to look, the boy had already stood up, he was tall, his face was blushing, and he was busy saying, "Thank you, Teacher Shen, thank you, Teacher Shen!"

The man called "Teacher Shen" seemed to shake his head, gave some advice, and left through the door facing away from the seat.

"This teacher is really nice." Liu Zhiqin turned back and picked up the ribs again, "The teachers in the key high schools are very concerned about the students."

"What?" Hua Chong asked: "Hearing your tone, have you been angry with the teacher before?"

"It's not enough to be angry. But when I was in junior high school, I missed the meal time because of playing basketball. I went to the cafeteria and saw that there was no food, so I could only eat noodles." Liu Zhiqin said: "I let the master cook After eating a bowl of noodles, my hands trembled, my feet slipped, and I dropped the noodles. Just like the kid just now.”

Hua Chong said, "There is also a teacher passing by you?"

"That's right." Liu Zhiqin sighed, "Not only did he not clean up the dishes for me, but comforted me, he even stood aside and laughed, exaggeratedly, I still remember it."

Hua Chong: "Pfft!"

Liu Zhiqin: "Are you laughing too?"

Hua Chong put down his chopsticks and covered half of his face with his hands, "Because it's really funny. Think about that scene—holding noodles, eager to eat noodles, and then fell down with a slap, hahaha!"

"Flower team." Liu Zhiqin pretended to be serious, "The leader must have the demeanor of a leader."

Hua Chong pointed to his bowl, his voice trembling, "Eat quickly, there is so much left, don't waste time."

"how about you?"

"I, I'll laugh a little longer."
