The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 121 Troublesome Dispute

The two were chatting when the car arrived at Guiyue Apartment. Qi Fei looked up at the familiar shabby apartment and scratched his head: "Are you sure you want to live here? Actually, my home..." Before he finished speaking, Grandma Meng seemed to teleport and appeared in front of them at some point.

"Master, the room has been cleaned up, you can take a rest." Grandma Meng said as she accompanied Zhong Kui into Guiyue Apartment.

Qi Fei watched Zhong Kui go upstairs reluctantly, and waited until the light in the room turned on and off, but he still didn't leave.

Under the street light, he looked at the window melancholy, his heart empty.

Suddenly, the phone rang. It was Liu Tong calling: "How's the investigation into the medical dispute going?"

"Medical dispute?" Qi Fei didn't react for a moment, and finally remembered that it was the incident he saw in the lobby on the first floor of the police station that day where the man said that Nancheng Hospital's misdiagnosis killed her husband.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Captain Liu, can't you send someone else to follow? My Jiangting Island case is still a mess!" Qi Fei protested weakly.

"I also want to find someone else. This matter is quite troublesome. Only you can do it." Liu Tong began to sweet-talk Qi Fei again.

Qi Fei was not buying it: "This is not our team's job, Captain Liu, can't you talk to the leadership about it?"

"Go, go. I'll give you a day off later. Take Zhong Kui and have fun for two days." Liu Tong on the other end of the phone spoke in a coaxing tone.

"This is between here and there!" Qi Fei said helplessly, "Okay, can't I go?"

……

In the police station, Wu Shanqiu saw Qi Fei who had just returned, and walked up to him hesitantly, "Brother Fei, there's something I need to tell you."

Qi Fei looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong? We have been partners for so long, is there anything you are embarrassed to talk about?"

Wu Shanqiu gave an awkward laugh: "That, that's not the matter..." She suddenly seemed to have made up her mind, closed her eyes and spoke faster, "Let me put it this way, Qi Dongjun said that if we want to understand the situation of the Golden Snake Immortal, you must go in person!"

After saying that, she opened her eyes and glanced at Qi Fei's reaction, fearing that he would suddenly get angry.

Sure enough, Qi Fei's face darkened, but the storm that Wu Shanqiu was worried about did not come.

"Okay, there's no need to be so pretentious about the case! When will he be free?" Qi Fei said as he stood up from his chair.

Wu Shanqiu was delighted and immediately started talking: "Yes, he said that he would be at Nancheng's house tomorrow. He said that if you agree, you can postpone other things and set aside a whole day to accept the investigation at any time. Then, Brother Fei, you will be driving, right? After all, you are more familiar with the route..." When she said this, she saw Qi Fei walking forward without saying a word. Then she realized that she had spoken too quickly. She quickly shut up and followed Qi Fei carefully. When she saw Qi Fei get back in the car, she asked puzzledly, "Huh? Didn't I tell you it was tomorrow, Brother Fei? What are you going to do so late at night?"

"Isn't this the job I got from Captain Liu? Have you forgotten about the doctor-patient conflict? I've made an appointment with the person who reported the case to understand the situation. Come with me to the car!" Qi Fei called Wu Shanqiu from inside the car. Wu Shanqiu muttered as she got in the car, "Ha, you're such a typical example of someone who says one thing and does another. No wonder Captain Liu asks you to do work every day."

The car drove towards the east of the city for half an hour and arrived at an ordinary residential area in Nancheng.

The Chinese New Year had just passed, and every household had New Year's blessing characters pasted on their doors, except the one Qi Fei knocked on.

The person who opened the door was the middle-aged woman I met on the first floor of the police station that day. Although her eyes were not as swollen, her face was still haggard. She had a black armband and a white flower on her left sleeve, and it was obvious that someone in her family had just died.

When she heard that they were Liu Tong's men, the woman immediately and politely invited the two men in. It was obvious that she had a good impression of Liu Tong.

"I'm sorry, the house has been a bit messy these past two days..." She wiped her nose with her hand, looking listless.

"You are Zhang Juying, right?" Qi Fei said, comparing the information. "I heard from Captain Liu that you have doubts about your lover's death, right?"

"It's either a doubt or the hospital made a mistake!" Zhang Juying was still very excited when talking about this matter.

"I looked at the police report. You said your loved one's leukemia was misdiagnosed as a common infection?"

"That's right! This is outrageous! Nancheng Hospital is said to be one of the best hospitals in the country, how could they make such a mistake?! Moreover, they denied it at first. The doctor said that the report he received was indeed a common infection. I also saw the report. How careless must they be to have checked it out as leukemia?" Zhang Juying said as she took out the report.

Qi Fei took a look and found that the name on it was indeed Zhang Juying's lover Tian Xiaodong, and there were some arrows going up and down on the blood test report.

Zhang Juying said on the side: "At that time, my husband had a low-grade fever and nosebleeds for several days, so we went to Nancheng Hospital to register. It was the doctor named Li Liang who saw us. He gave us a blood test order, and this is it. After the examination, he told us that it was just a common cold. I asked why the cold caused nosebleeds, and he said it was induced rhinitis. He prescribed some anti-inflammatory medicine and sent us away.

After returning home, my husband took his medicine regularly, but the low-grade fever persisted. We went to Nancheng Hospital again and saw a different doctor. They checked and said there was a mistake in the previous report; the sample might not be my husband's. "Possibly?" That "possibly" delayed my husband's medical attention. Later, I learned that my husband had acute leukemia, which develops very quickly!
"My husband passed away within a few days. My poor son had already undergone a bone marrow puncture to donate bone marrow, but my husband passed away just a few days before they could prepare for the bone marrow donation surgery! I want an explanation!" Zhang Juying said, bursting into tears.

Regardless of whether it was related to the criminal investigation or not, Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu felt uncomfortable listening to it. They waited quietly for Zhang Juying to calm down a little before Qi Fei continued to ask, "What did the hospital say later?"

"I went to confront that doctor named Li Liang, but he actually denied treating my husband! He wrote the blood test order in black and white!" Zhang Juying held up the test report and pointed at the doctor's name on it. "He's even denying it!"

"Just because he said he didn't make a mistake doesn't mean he didn't make a mistake..." Wu Shanqiu said, then thought, "No, a mistake in the sample isn't necessarily the doctor's fault. The hospital's laboratory department shouldn't be held responsible. There seems to be no need for Dr. Li to rush to deny it."

"What's even more infuriating is yet to come. I complained to the hospital, and they said they checked and found that Dr. Li was not seeing patients that day. Isn't this bullying? Did we encounter a ghost?" Zhang Juying said angrily.

　happy Valentine's day.
