Chapter 9: Sophistry and Punishment
Zhang Dadao secretly cried out "Not good", and then he saw Su Jinjin push the door and come in. Su Jinjin looked at Zhang Dadao fiercely for a long time, looking at him helplessly and shaking his head:
"I say, you charlatan, can't you just calm down? Such a big thing has happened and you still have time to cause trouble in the outpatient department? You are really amazing! Come with me! Director Guo and the others will come over after they deal with the 'Best Actor'. The nickname that this old carrot gave is really right. He is really good at acting!"
Zhang Dadao waved his hand, stood up and followed Su Jinjin, and asked as he walked out, "You came really fast. Fatty Guo is so smart. He saw through us at a glance."
Su Jinjin said with some pride: "What do you think? Do you really think doctors are easy to fool? Normally, he doesn't want to talk to you. Our Director Guo is an old hand! He guessed that you would come back a long time ago. I guess his call arrived before you did."
Zhang Dadao was silent at this moment. Although he recognized Fatty Guo, they didn't have much contact with each other. Who would have thought that this cute old fat man had this trick, not only saw through the disguise of the "movie emperor" at a glance, but also took advantage of it to take care of Zhang Dadao.
Following Su Jinjin into the duty room, Zhang Dadao sat down familiarly and spoke first, "Why are you alone? Isn't it just that Old Chen died? Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"
"Too much!" Su Jinjin shouted angrily, "What do you know? Doctor Chen's brother works in the Health Department. I heard that his position is very important! The higher-ups pay great attention to him!"
Then, Su Jinjin immediately realized that it was inappropriate to tell the patient this. She glared at Zhang Dadao and shouted, "Should I ask you or you ask me? What's wrong with you? Tell me first!"
Zhang Dadao laughed, shook his head and said, "You can gossip if you want to, but why are you pretending to be serious? What am I talking to you about? If we need to interrogate you, let Fatty Guo do it!"
Su Jinjin was immediately furious when Zhang Dadao despised her. She slammed the writing board in her hand onto the table and shouted, "Zhang Dadao! Just say what I tell you to say! Are you a doctor or am I a doctor?"
Zhang Dadao let out a long breath and said, "Okay, you're a doctor, aren't you? That's what happened! I saw the 'movie king' steal a white coat and followed him to monitor him, wanting to see what he could do. I followed him all the way to the outpatient department, and then he tricked a couple, that's about it. Later, I saw Director Guo coming, so I left first."
Zhang Dadao avoided the main issue and cleared himself of all charges. He was not worried that the "Best Actor" would bite him back. Judging from the condition of the Best Actor, he was obviously ill now. He might have mistaken the doctors and nurses who were causing trouble for him as the Radio and Television Bureau, and would definitely not be able to say anything serious. Even if the doctors suspected him, without evidence, he would be isolated for two days at most. How could Zhang Dadao not have been locked up in the "sponge room" after living in the Seventh Hospital for so many years? This little scene could not scare him.
Although Su Jinjin was a new doctor, he didn't believe Zhang Dadao's lies. He had received instructions from his predecessors on his first day at work. Although he didn't know everything about the patients in the hospital, he could still learn a little bit. An old hand like Zhang Dadao was the key person to introduce.
Although Zhang Dadao was well behaved most of the time, he was a good patient for the mental hospital compared to other patients. At least he would not cause troubles such as self-harm. But it would be a mistake to relax your vigilance against him. Zhang Dadao had never been short of troubles, and he would do something ridiculous every now and then.
For example, last year, Zhang Dadao deceived a patient who was a lawyer and instigated a protest against the taste of the hospital's nutritional meals. He even drove a relative of a director who cooked on the third floor to the administrative building. If the patient had not recovered from his bipolar disorder and taken all the responsibility, Zhang Dadao would never have escaped punishment.
Actually, it was not Zhang Dadao's fault. He had been in the Seventh Courtyard for so many years, living the same life every day. Of course, he would feel bored. For Zhang Dadao, making some noise every now and then was just a pastime.
Compared to those guys who cut themselves for no reason, his performance was considered good.
In addition to the protest against the food, there were several unsolved cases in the hospital, which were also suspected to be led or participated in by Zhang Dadao. How could Su Jinjin believe that such a person was just following to watch the fun?
Su Jinjin looked at Zhang Dadao suspiciously, narrowing her eyes and said, "It's not that simple, is it? Would you be so honest as to just watch the fun? I don't believe it!"
Zhang Dadao thought to himself: "Resist the strict rules and go home for the New Year." His expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he suggested: "You don't believe it? Aren't there two couples who were deceived by the 'movie king'? Why don't you just ask them? I really didn't say anything and didn't do anything!"
Zhang Dadao looked pure and innocent. Su Jinjin also seemed a little at a loss. At this moment, the door was pushed open and Fatty Guo walked in. He stared at Zhang Dadao and said with a smile, "Didn't do anything? Liu Jiguang didn't say that! He said you instigated him to do it!"
Zhang Dadao was stunned and said in confusion: "Liu Jiguang? Who is he? I don't even know him? Fatty Guo, you should pick a reliable person to blame? Are you also schizophrenic?"
Fatty Guo's face darkened. Su Jinjin quickly leaned over to whisper something in his ear. Fatty Guo took a few breaths like a bellows and then said, "Liu Jiguang is the 'movie king' you guys are talking about. You'd better tell the truth!"
Zhang Dadao sneered, crossed his legs and sneered, "If you have the ability, ask him to confront you! Are you trying to extract a confession with empty words? Why don't you say you are my lawyer? I have seen Infernal Affairs."
Fatty Guo's face turned pale, and he angrily said to Su Jinjin: "What's going on in your inpatient department? How can patients watch that kind of movie!"
Su Jinjin was also a little embarrassed and quickly said, "Director Guo, aren't there still that couple who were cheated? Ask them!"
Fatty Guo's face turned black, and he said angrily: "What nonsense! We don't manage well, and the patients all ran away to pretend to be doctors. How could stay? They were so angry that they left! They said they were going to Shanghai for a check-up!"
Zhang Dadao punched him and suddenly realized, "Now there's no evidence!"
This sound startled Fatty Guo. Fatty Guo pointed at Zhang Dadao in a rage and shouted, "Zhang Dadao, you left the No. 3 inpatient building without permission and disrupted the normal order of the hospital. I suspect your condition has recurred and you must be isolated for observation for three days!" After that, Fatty Guo left angrily, leaving behind the embarrassed Su Jinjin and the smug Zhang Dadao.
After he walked away, Zhang Dadao carefully said to Su Jinjin: "Xiao Su, does what this fat guy say count? He is not the director of our inpatient department."
Su Jinjin smiled a little, looked at Zhang Dadao, and said, "It's true. Teacher Chen committed suicide. Our Director Ding is temporarily suspended from his post to reflect on his actions due to joint responsibility. Director Guo will act as the director of the inpatient department until Vice President Qi comes back. Don't think of anything else, just follow me honestly!"
Zhang Dadao curled his lips and said, "It just so happens that I heard a new guy came yesterday. Let me arrange for him to live next to me! I can check him out for you guys first!"
Su Jinjin was so angry that she laughed and said, "It's not your turn to catch the rat!" Then she pulled Zhang Dadao out of the observation room.
