Great doctors start with pediatrics

"This is a crime!"

"This is a restriction of personal freedom!"

"What are you doing...?"

The woman was like a crab that had been flipped over, pinned to the ground and struggling incessantly.

Laurent kept his foot on the old woman's back, showing no sign of letting go.

"Comrade, you can... loosen your grip now."

The police officers standing nearby looked embarrassed.

If the arrest of Laurent was the intention, then the older woman did indeed attempt to harm the little girl.

Once it's confirmed that the little girl's sign language interpretation was flawed, how should this be accounted for?

Conversely, they couldn't just let Laurent continue like this.

"Alright."

Laurent loosened his legs: "Then you shut this guy up. The victim girl is still here. Although she can't hear, her mother can."

"As for whether she knows sign language, we can verify that later."

If your police station cannot confirm this, we can also contact other police stations and procuratorates, and even address the issue of sign language interpretation in administrative litigation.

"I hope you won't cover for her; after all, this is no small matter for the victim. I think you should prioritize protecting the child rather than protecting her."

"But in the end, it really didn't work out. Although it wasn't very honorable, we still have friends overseas who were able to provide help and intervention from children's funds and various associations."

There's no doubt that the middle-aged woman in front of me is both stupid and wicked.

A half-baked sign language interpreter has unwittingly caused countless innocent people to be harmed.

If the translation just now is implemented, it will only make matters worse for Duoduo.

These police officers might not sympathize with the old woman after they learn the truth, but Laurent always wants to be on the safe side.

Saying things that should and shouldn't be said, even resorting to threats.

"Okay, we'll wait."

Finally, the older-looking police officer spoke up.

Before the evidence arrived, several police officers went out to make phone calls to request assistance from their superiors.

The middle-aged woman sat in the corner, so somber that she even lowered her breathing.

Duoduo nestled in her mother's arms.

She couldn't hear what was happening and looked at Laurent.

Laurent shook his head: "It's nothing serious, leave it to me."

Duoduo nodded, looking bewildered.

Zuo Zhenxing walked up to Laurent: "You went a bit too far just now..."

"I know," Laurent nodded.

"I'm not saying what you're doing is bad, or that it's just youthful impulsiveness."

Zuo Zhenxing lowered his voice: "I support you and understand what you did, but you are also a student and have to face the school and counselors. What you just said carries at least the risk of being punished. Next time, just leave it to me."

"Um."

"And if patients treated doctors like that, we would be unhappy too... although there is no shortage of unscrupulous doctors in this world." Zuo Zhenxing said, feeling that there was nothing wrong with it.

The police officers nearby might feel uncomfortable, but Laurent had no intention of harming anyone; on the contrary, what he said was reasonable and legal.

If Laurent hadn't taken a firm stance, and someone weaker had said those words, they might have sounded less threatening.

What if only Duoduo and her mother were here today?

This kind of thing seems a bit difficult to think about...

Zuo Zhenxing was still deep in thought.

The office was quiet.

"Hello, comrades."

"I am the deputy director of the police station. We are already aware of your situation."

The older woman saw a middle-aged man walk in and was about to stand up.

The deputy director stated directly: "If there are problems with the sign language interpretation, we will not provide protection. The rights of children are of course a higher priority. If we cannot protect the rights of children, it will be even more difficult to effectively safeguard other public rights in society."

The deputy director stated frankly, "Right now, are we waiting for the evidence to arrive? Do we need a police car to pick us up?"

Laurent and Dodo's mother checked their phones, about to make a call to inquire, when the phone rang at their door.

"Old Luo! We're already out of the compound. I brought every last detail from the room!"

Pan Jiujiang said gruffly, "We're almost there! Have you helped us carry our things yet?!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy director, who was standing nearby, quickly organized the police officers to go down.

Nighttime is a peak time for cases and disputes, so there weren't many police officers at the police station; only the deputy director stayed behind.

Laurent sorted out his thoughts.

I borrowed paper and pen from the police officers before, and now I'm going through my phone, copying down relevant legal provisions, organizing the necessary evidence, the qualifications of their hospital, and the procedures for litigation and reporting to the police.

Laurent wrote it down by hand.

Even if Laurent is unavailable when Duoduo's parents ask, by diligently searching according to Laurent's handwritten notes, they can still figure out what to do next.

Zuo Zhenxing glanced at it briefly, then could only say, "Professional!"

Soon, the police officers came up with large and small bags of belongings, making the whole house look like it had been packed up.

Duo Duo's father also came up carrying a suitcase and a laptop.

Behind them, Qiu Chen, Laurent's rich roommate, was also carrying things.

As for Pan Jiujiang, he was escorting someone with his hands on his shoulders.

As soon as Qiu Chen came in, she said, "I had already packed the important evidence into bags and sorted them in advance. I labeled them on the way, and I also had them record a video on their phones when I brought them down."

"Both the suitcase and what I'm holding."

"I noticed on the way that the police station, like our hospital, only accepts CDs, so I just brought my computer along to play them."

"That……"

Everyone looked at the man being escorted by Pan Jiujiang, who was 1.9 meters tall.

The man looked to be only about 1.7 meters tall, thin, with a beard on his chin, looking just like a rat.

"This person barged in when we entered the room to organize the evidence."

Without saying a word, he accused us of vandalism, then tried to enter Duoduo's room and get close to the surveillance camera, while holding a lighter in his hand.

We pressed the button on the spot.

"You think you can get away with destroying evidence? Isn't that even more obvious?" Laurent was taken aback for a moment before saying.

Laurent turned to look at Dodo.

Sure enough, after the man came in, Duoduo, who had been somewhat relaxed, immediately shrank into her mother's arms.

The deputy director also noticed this.

"Okay, did you record this man's behavior?"

The deputy director, listening to Laurent and his roommate's conversation, quickly spoke up.

"It's right here. If you can burn it here, we can do it now," Qiu Chen said, adjusting his glasses.

"Good, it's good that you have the video. Please check it for us." After watching the video, the deputy director confirmed that it was indeed true, and then said, "Take him away first."

"I'll list the other evidence and submit it later." Laurent was looking through the evidence he had found in Duoduo's house.

There isn't much evidence, except for video evidence, mainly bed sheets and duvet covers, and hair that was deliberately collected.

For example, finding a curved hair in Duoduo's room is definitely unreasonable, right?

If there are genetic test results on the bed sheets that do not belong to a member of the family, this can also be considered part of the chain of evidence.

While Laurent was tidying up, the hospital's sign language interpreter arrived.

"Sorry I'm late."

"I'll look after the child..."

The sign language interpreter looked at the child's frightened expression.

Zuo Zhenxing quickly explained, "I was startled just now."

"Okay, I'll discuss it later."

The police station was busy all night.

The deputy director accompanied Duoduo's father and Qiu Chen to review the surveillance footage.

Other police officers helped Laurent organize the evidence.

Laurent, along with Zuo Zhenxing, also learned from the police about the institutions and hospitals that could perform the identification.

Pan Jiujiang paced back and forth in the room of the old woman and the rat man, preventing them from deserting.

Duoduo and her mother were in a separate room. She seemed to have taken a light nap, and no one knew how much time had passed.

I felt much better after waking up.

The sign language interpreter went over to communicate.

Another half hour passed.

"We have video footage, and this is my translation. I've already divided it into minute segments, and there's also police surveillance nearby."

"I believe the description given by our hospital's doctors is correct."

"This is our advanced certificate, and also my medical license. I can also provide more comprehensive and credible sign language dialogue transcripts and translations."

Police officers are reviewing the sign language interpreter's credentials.

"I thought 'older women' were the beginner level, right?"

"I heard it was already like that, but sign language interpreters are indeed scarce, and they've become quite proficient..."

The police officers whispered among themselves.

Advanced and beginner.

Regular doctors and neighborhood committee aunties.

A high-achieving doctoral graduate and a regular at square dancing.

They naturally know which side they should trust.

The situation gradually began to reverse.

"You can leave, but if we make new discoveries later, you must be there."

The deputy director also said sternly, "I will intercept any other cases you have translated that have not yet been tried or adjudicated, and you will inevitably bear legal responsibility."

"You still have the option to turn yourself in."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's face turned ashen: "I want to leave! Let me go!"

Logically speaking, it would be unwise to let the old lady leave in this situation.

But when Laurent looked over, the deputy director had already let the old woman go.

Of course, for the woman, leaving the police station today probably meant she didn't intend to come back.

This will inevitably have a greater impact on oneself.

However, these things have little to do with Laurent anymore.

The issue of sign language interpretation has been temporarily resolved. Although the sign language communication between Laurent and the sign language interpreter was not verified by a professional institution, and the procedural legitimacy of the evidence may be low, these are merely minor flaws.

Qiu Chen shouted, "Look here! I see it!"

"We have a record of this man frequently entering this house when no one is home..."

"That must be because Mom and Dad asked the neighbors to help take care of the child," said Duoduo's mother.

"Then this time, we found footage of him with his pants down... The bathroom is on the other side," Qiu Chen said excitedly. "On my way here, I specifically registered for a cloud storage service and uploaded all the footage. It's safe and reliable!"

The deputy director also said, "Let's speed things up a bit; this case is very special."

The evidence was compiled one by one.

Now the only problem is the lack of physical evidence.

This will be handled by a professional appraisal agency.

Inside the office, a faint glow appeared on people's tired faces.

Excitement, joy!

Duoduo's parents even got excited.

But Laurent looked at Dodo in his mother's arms.

He knelt down and stroked Duoduo's head.

Pat it on.

Without any complicated sign language, Duoduo scooted closer to Laurent.

It was already midnight when I left the police station.

This time might be too late for most people.

There were hardly any taxis on the road.

No one responded when I tried to hail a taxi, and I had to walk onto the main road to get one.

Laurent and his party walked along the roadside.

"These are my roommates, Qiu Chen and Pan Jiujiang."

Laurent introduced, "This is my teacher, Zuo Zhenxing."

"This teacher..." Laurent looked at the sign language teacher.

The sign language interpreter quickly said, "Child Psychiatry Department, Fang Yuhe."

"Hello, Teacher Fang."

"Hello, Teacher Zuo."

Qiu Chen and Pan Jiujiang walked behind Laurent and Zuo Zhenxing, who were walking side by side, looking just like little followers.

"Luo's sign language is quite good! I thought it was a new doctor who was so skilled." The sign language teacher spoke confidently: "I initially learned sign language because of professional needs. I figured there would always be children who needed to communicate, and I couldn't rely solely on interviews with parents to make judgments. And Luo?"

"To take care of my younger siblings."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work," the sign language interpreter said. "But considering you have younger siblings, your family seems quite large."

"Indeed, there are quite a few people in the orphanage," Laurent said frankly.

The sign language interpreter was also stunned.

"Do you think he'll go home and slap himself tonight?" Pan Jiujiang whispered.

"People can hear it." Qiu Chen responded without saying a word.

The sign language interpreter laughed awkwardly.

Laurent shook his head: "It's alright. I've learned some good skills, and I've grown up so I can help more people."

"Hmm, she's a good student."

Zuo Zhenxing nodded: "You seem to be very familiar with legal provisions."

"Because children are always getting hurt and having accidents, I taught myself legal texts and writing," Laurent explained. "My current level should be sufficient to take the professional qualification exam."

"Then you can learn more from the hospital's legal counsel in the future."

Zuo Zhenxing said, "Even if you feel that becoming a doctor is not profitable, you can become a legal advisor for the hospital."

Zuo Zhenxing said he wouldn't become a doctor, but he was actually considering Laurent's future.

"Also, do you think this matter is over?"

"From the perspective of evidence-based trial, there shouldn't be too much of a deviation. It depends on the final judgment of the criminal police and the prosecutor's office, but the result should be that the perpetrator can be found."

"But...this will take a long time."

Laurent was well aware of the efficiency of handling cases and litigation: "And more importantly, the psychological harm done to Duoduo."

The last time Laurent looked at Dodo, her eyes were only red and no longer black.

"I left my phone number with Duoduo's parents so they can contact me sometimes. I can also take Duoduo out to play. I saw that the sign language teacher also left her number."

"Hehe, it's a free consultation, I'm not like you surgeons who need to work overtime," the sign language interpreter said awkwardly, scratching his head.

"Although it may not be possible to fully recover."

Laurent looked at Zuo Zhenxing: "But we doctors don't perform every surgery with the expectation that the patient will fully recover after the operation. As long as he gets better, instead of being in despair and pain, that's good."

Although this requires some changes, and the changes themselves may be painful.

But it's worth it.
