Chapter 247

Li Tian used his own deductive reasoning to capture killers, while Chen Fan followed the path of a forensic pathologist.

Qu Yiling and Xiang Qinqin followed along to learn.

Chen Fan was in the office, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking seriously at the critical condition notice before him, lost in deep thought.

He picked up a pen and began to draw.

"This person could still be saved. This person shouldn't have died like this. The surgery actually isn't difficult, so why stop saving them?"

The doctor in charge said, "They ran out of money."

The doctor's words were cold, but they struck a chord.

Chen Fan felt helpless and said, "This is truly too hard to judge. Is there nothing you can do when a critical condition notice is issued?"

The doctor said, "It's a very simple logic. When any patient comes in, whether we save them or not, we always ask for the family's wishes. If the family agrees, we will treat them. We cannot say anything extra; if we do, we will be involved in a medical malpractice suit."

"An intern once told the truth, and the family sued us in court. Our hospital ended up paying a lot of money, and that intern could never be a doctor again. You have to know, the cost of training a real surgeon in this country is simply too high."

Chen Fan was speechless and said, "You don't think I'm here to audit the accounts, do you?"

"I am very busy, with many surgeries every day. The dean asked me to cooperate with your work, but I feel it's a waste of time. In this time, I could save many people."

Chen Fan shut down, looked at the man, and said, "Damn, you're quite arrogant."

"Yes, I just don't like your attitude toward life. You don't respect life at all."

The audience burst into laughter, hahahahaha.

One saves people, the other cuts people; good heavens, the two of them really didn't get along.

At this point, Chen Fan picked up his pen and asked, "What about this person?"

"Normal death."

Chen Fan said, "Died from an IV drip, right? Did you check the flow rate of the liquid at the time?"

The man fell silent and said, "You... alright, you win. I remember this child; they were a patient under my care. I was also very surprised when I heard they died. It shouldn't have happened; this child could have been saved, but the child just died."

"I want the liquid data."

"Coming soon."

Chen Fan said, "Then it's likely the other party understood the infusion site and accelerated the child's death. The child's body couldn't withstand it, so they passed away in the end."

The man said, "You suspect it was man-made."

"That's right. I trust your medical skills; the data you recorded is all normal, and nothing else was added."

"You know how to save people too?"

"I am a forensic pathologist. The word 'medical' is in the title, it's just that I am more interested in corpses."

Heh, what a waste.

The man continued to look at him with his usual disdain.

Chen Fan found another one and said, "Do you have any impression of this person when they passed?"

"After the second surgery for a brain hemorrhage, they had regained consciousness and could move. During nursing care, the nerve pain started, they tried to get up, and that caused the death."

Chen Fan said, "The nerve pain flared up, which actually means there was no chance anyway, right? Even if they went home, they would have died, wouldn't they?"

"There was a probability, but there was a high chance they could have gone home to tidy up the house and cook simple meals. That way, the pressure on the father and children in the family wouldn't have been so great."

Chen Fan said, "Then who were the staff on duty?"

The doctor gave the chart to Chen Fan. Chen Fan scanned it quickly and soon locked onto a young man.

"Hmm, this kid is single, right?"

"Yeah, so what? Is being single against the law?"

Chen Fan said, "Have this kid come over."

The doctor appeared in the office. Chen Fan pointed at the critical condition notice and said, "Here, that day, who came to see you?"

The doctor said, "Ah, my ex-girlfriend came to see me, why?"

"You didn't do your rounds that day, which led to this woman's death. Do you still have your ex-girlfriend's contact information?"

The first doctor exploded and said, "How many times have I said it? When you're on duty, be serious! What do you mean by this? Did you kid do something else secretly?"

The man didn't dare to speak.

Chen Fan dialed the number and said, "Found you."

"You are really fast. I didn't expect you to actually find me..."

"You made a mistake."

"Is that so? Are you sure I made a mistake?"

"Yes, this lady shouldn't have died."

"Is that so? Are you really sure? Or was the surgery not actually successful, and you just let the family keep spending money? Chen Fan, are you sure what you're saying is accurate?"

Chen Fan froze, looking at the data table and the incision.

"What do you mean?"

"Let me ask you, are there any brain hemorrhages in this country that have been cured? Brain hemorrhages, cerebral infarctions—can these surgeries really be cured? Or are they just ticking time bombs restricting these people? I ask you, if I had given her a sedative that day, would this woman have died?"

Chen Fan fell silent and said, "You're right. This woman couldn't have lived because her blood vessel walls were simply too thin. The doctor should have known."

"Right, but there were still two surgeries. You know, the hospital was just testing its experimental methods this time. Have you ever thought that they never intended to save her, but just wanted to perform an experiment?"

Chen Fan put down the notebook and said, "Without proof, don't talk nonsense."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, I'm speaking on behalf of the hospital."

The girl on the other end of the phone laughed happily and said, "Keep going, keep looking. I will act again. You have to see if you are faster, or if I am faster."

Chen Fan chuckled and hung up the phone directly.

Chen Fan stood up and said, "Alright, deal with your own affairs. I need to go check the ward."

The two doctors stood there, at a loss.

Zhang Tianxiong said, "Will she commit a crime again today?"

"Yes, she will commit a crime again. She can't hit the brakes; she has no way to stop."

Zhang Tianxiong said, "Do we need to call for help?"

"Calling won't help. This woman has other ways to get in. She is challenging me now. I need to find the next victim, the next person this woman wants to harm."

"Who?"

"A patient who can kill a whole family, a person who is about to die, a person who longs for death."
