Chapter 26 The Doctor Who Disregarded the Patient's Life
"Although the murderer may not be seeking revenge for Chu Rong, we can confirm that he must have known the location of this factory from the kidnapping video of Chu Rong that Bai Jing gave Wu Nan on her phone. That's why the murderer prepared the second murder here." Han Yun frowned slightly : "The chainsaw and chair were all placed here in advance."
"There is no electricity here, and the electric saw is the kind that is rechargeable," Yu Miaomiao added.
"There is no electricity, and no candle wax dripping, which means it is pitch black here at night. The murderer did not commit the crime at night." Han Yun stood up and looked around the ground again: "That night, the murderer just knocked Bai Jing unconscious in the city and sent him here. He didn't come here until dawn and cut off Bai Jing's hands and feet with an electric saw. This place is so remote that no one would find it even during the day."
"Indeed, if Bai Jing is thrown here, no matter how he shouts, there will be no response, and the cell phone signal here is also very poor." Yu Miaomiao said after looking at his cell phone.
Han Yun raised his bloody finger again, brought it to his nose and sniffed it, then closed his eyes and reconstructed the crime scene in his mind: "Before deciding to kill, the murderer must have come to the factory several times to scout the area and ensure the surrounding environment before carrying out the crime. That night, the murderer captured Bai Jing, tied him to a chair, and left. When he came the next day, the drugged Bai Jing had already woken up and had tried every possible way to escape. This can be inferred from the messy footprints on the ground and the position of the moved wooden chair."
Yu Miaomiao listened to Han Yun's words and looked down at the scratches on the wooden chair on the ground. There were indeed many marks caused by people being tied to the chairs and moving the chairs. "If the murderer was at the scene that night, he would not have allowed Bai Jing to find a way to escape."
"Bai Jing was tied here for a whole night and couldn't break free. I guess he was exhausted when the murderer came the next day." Han Yun imagined himself as Bai Jing, who was tied to a chair and exhausted after a night of trying to break free: "He was already in despair, but then he heard footsteps, which gave him hope of survival."
"The person who came could only be the murderer, but Bai Jing didn't know that, so he started to ask for help." Yu Miaomiao, who was standing by, looked at Han Yun's strange behavior and whispered, "Bai Jing originally thought he had hope of survival, but in fact, death was approaching." After Yu Miaomiao finished speaking, her phone rang with a notification tone. She took it out and opened WeChat to check, then said to Han Yun, "My former colleague replied to me, saying that the volunteer project that Bai Jing participated in in Jiangzhou City was to help poor families with patients raise funds."
"Patients, Dong Xing performed surgery privately in the old building, under the pretext of helping poor patients who couldn't afford surgery. This makes the two have something in common, but Dong Xing and Bai Jing didn't know each other for a long time. Maybe something happened to the poor family Bai Jing helped, or maybe Bai Jing heard about Dong Xing from a patient, so he introduced the patient here?" Han Yun slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yu Miaomiao: "Didn't the Serious Case Unit find a list of patients in the old building?"
"I did find one, but it was after Wang Mengxian became Dong Xing's assistant." Yu Miaomiao said, "Before that, I was the one who contacted the families of those patients. It seemed that they had signed a confidentiality agreement. When I asked about this matter, they were hesitant. If I asked too many questions, they would say that they were very grateful to Dr. Dong and that he really cared about the poor people."
"Are there any deaths?" Han Yun asked.
"In the past two years, there have been a total of ten surgical records, three of which resulted in death. The families of the deceased patients did not blame Dong Xing, because it was not because Dong Xing's medical skills were bad. He was just an ordinary person. This is what the families of the deceased patients said, and they expressed their understanding." Yu Miaomiao replied.
"There must have been deaths before Wang Mengxian took over as an assistant. Maybe the murderer is hiding in that destroyed list." Han Yun walked to the factory door and looked forward.
"But the case list was destroyed, and the parties involved, Chu Rong and Dong Xing, were also killed. Now there is no way to know who Dong Xing had operated on before Wang Mengxian." Yu Miaomiao came over, stood next to Han Yun and said, "Just now you used the word 'euphemistically' to describe Dong Xing's behavior of helping poor patients. Don't you think that Dong Xing's private operations outside are not helping poor patients?"
"If you want to do good things, there are various ways, such as going out for free clinics, giving money to help patients with the cost of surgery, etc. During our investigation, we did not find Dong Xing doing these good deeds. Instead, he was indifferent to his wife and family, cheated on his wife, and other bad behaviors. And performing surgery privately outside is the most destructive and undesirable of all the methods. But Dong Xing did it anyway. Is it really possible to do good things without leaving a name?" Han Yun straightened up, looked up at the sky, and said, "As a star surgeon in the hospital, what are you most afraid of?"
"Stars are naturally afraid of becoming out of date and being replaced by newcomers," Yu Miaomiao blurted out.
"Suddenly being lifted up to such a high position and becoming so popular, Dong Xing must have his own concerns." Han Yun retracted his gaze and turned to look inside the factory again: "So maybe Dong Xing performed surgery outside just to train himself and improve his surgical skills. Of course, Dong Xing may have other plans... If my guess is correct, the surgeries he performed privately in the old building were all extremely difficult, right?"
"I remember there were pancreaticoduodenectomy and intracranial aneurysm embolization. The names sound very difficult. And one operation requires a lot of people. There are only Dong Xing and his assistants in the old building. If they perform difficult operations, the risk to the patients is too great." Yu Miaomiao took a deep breath: "If you look at it from this perspective, then Dong Xing doesn't take the patients' lives seriously at all."
"He performed the surgery privately outside, without supervision or expert discussion. He did whatever he wanted. This behavior is not responsible for the patient's life. When I first heard about this, I didn't think Dong Xing was really thinking about the patients with difficult families. It was just that the patients' families thought that Dong Xing did this for them and saved their loved ones' lives." Han Yun thought for a while and said, "Dong Xing's channel for taking patients to the old building for surgery should have been dug from the First People's Hospital of Beidu where he works. So go to the hospital to investigate the cases in recent years to see if there are any patients with serious conditions but no money for surgery and can only be taken home to die. Check them one by one, and you should be able to find the old building cases when Chu Rong was still an assistant. Pay special attention to the patient's family situation and whether there are young and middle-aged people. The murderer was able to cross mountains and ridges and carry Bai Jing to the factory. He must be very strong."
