Chapter 333: A Peculiar Way of Thinking

After returning to Liu Zhuren's office and waiting for a long time, Bai Chuzhang finally arrived late.

The questions he asked were exactly the same as the ones Liu Zhuren and Lu Gang had asked.

Ji Xiang explained them without getting annoyed; because there were no good examples, he ended up using the Cavernous Body Puncture case.

"Xiao Ji, not bad." Bai Chuzhang felt relieved, "The Patient recovered well and is already asleep now. Vital signs are stable, and there are no issues for the time being."

"That's good."

"Let's go, let's go get a bite to eat." Bai Chuzhang said, "What do you want to eat?"

"Anything simple will do. I'll come back to check on the Patient and then go home to study; I have to take the Practicing Physician Qualification exam." Ji Xiang said.

"Are you confident? The Practicing Physician Qualification exam is getting harder and harder now. In the first few years, you could basically pass by bluffing, but now there are people in our hospital who haven't been able to pass the exam in ten years." Bai Chuzhang asked.

"I should be." Ji Xiang said affirmatively.

After changing clothes, the group left the hospital and went to the Peiyang Barbecue across the street to grab a simple bite.

Ji Xiang had heard many people say that this shop had been open for many years and was one of the memories of many Doctors at the Second Affiliated Hospital.

As for the owner of that shop, he was also a very interesting person.

Perhaps, he would also become a part of his own life.

Arriving at Peiyang Barbecue, it was just the afternoon, so there was basically no one there. The thin, dark-skinned owner was sitting in front of a table, propping up a tablet to watch an animated show.

"Grill us something simple." After entering, Bai Chuzhang glanced at the tablet in front of the Peiyang Barbecue owner and said casually.

"Just got off a surgery?" The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue asked absent-mindedly, his eyes not leaving the tablet.

"Stop watching, it's boring." Bai Chuzhang reached out and pointed at the screen of the tablet, "He is the murderer."

"!!!" The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue laughed, "Bai Chuzhang, don't talk nonsense. This is the latest episode; you definitely haven't seen it. It's not that easy to mess with my Dao heart. Wait a moment, the mystery is about to be solved."

"No need to watch, he is definitely the murderer. If you don't believe me..."

"Let's bet!" The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue was not convinced at all. He was familiar with Bai Chuzhang and the others, so he said without standing on ceremony, "If it is him, this meal is on me."

"Alright, then add two lamb legs."

"What if it isn't?" The owner of Peiyang stared at the screen, his eyes unblinking, focused and serious.

Ji Xiang didn't expect this person to be so obsessed even after chasing the show for twenty years.

"Next time you bring someone in for medical treatment, I will personally take them to the relevant department." Bai Chuzhang said calmly.

The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue laughed, "Bai Chuzhang, I've really taken a huge advantage of you here."

"You won't be able to take it. Just wait to treat us." Bai Chuzhang said.

Ji Xiang was very puzzled. The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue was watching "Case Detective Conan". Although the current reasoning and suspense plots were worse than they were ten years ago, it wasn't something that Bai Chuzhang could discover the "real murderer" by just pointing at it without even watching or knowing the plot.

He must be relying on luck.

Liu Zhuren smiled, didn't speak, and sat down with Bai Chuzhang.

"Xiao Ji, do you guess Lao Bai can win?" Liu Zhuren asked.

Ji Xiang's heart stirred, "He can win. Why don't we bet on something too?"

"..." Liu Zhuren was choked and had nothing to say.

Ji Xiang was really a bit like the young Lao Bai, slippery and hard to pin down.

He had confidence in Lao Bai, but Ji Xiang actually also had an inexplicable confidence in Bai Chuzhang.

The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue didn't greet the group, just let the waiter go prepare a few cold dishes, and told Bai Chuzhang that it would only take ten-odd minutes, so please wait a moment.

Bai Chuzhang wasn't in a hurry either, discussing with Ji Xiang why he didn't use the 12F Arterial Sheath at the beginning but chose a surgical procedure with such high difficulty.

Ji Xiang answered Bai Chuzhang's questions one by one.

"Bai Chuzhang, how did you know!"

Ten-odd minutes later, the thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue came to the table with an expression of disbelief, his hands pressed on the table, his eyes fixed on Bai Chuzhang.

"If I didn't even have this little bit of ability, wouldn't the Second Affiliated Hospital have been turned upside down by people long ago?" Bai Chuzhang said leisurely.

"You... how did you know?"

"I'll teach you a trick." Bai Chuzhang laughed, "But, do you really want to hear it?"

The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue was stunned.

"Lao Bai means that after hearing it, watching 'Case Detective Conan' might not be interesting anymore." Liu Zhuren translated Bai Chuzhang's words, "However, I estimate you don't have that ability either; Lao Bai is overthinking it."

"Listen, why wouldn't I listen!" The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue said with his neck stiffened.

"I've watched a few episodes of 'Case Detective Conan' and quickly discovered one thing—the voice acting for the murderer is different from the voice acting for the ordinary extras."

"Ah?" The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue was confused.

"Let's put it this way, the voice actors' vocal lines are all different. You can understand that, right?"

"I... can." The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue was slightly lost, but still nodded.

"The murderer is the main event, so the production team hires famous big-name voice actors, and their vocal lines are very easy to distinguish. I don't even need to watch; I know who the murderer is just by listening to the voice." Bai Chuzhang said faintly.

"!!!"

The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue thought for about 20 seconds and finally sighed.

"Bai Chuzhang, impressive."

Ji Xiang was also surprised. He had also watched this show and every time he was fully focused, not missing any detail, but the probability of finding the murderer in the end was only about 80%.

Some episodes were very annoying, being forced and formulaic.

But Bai Chuzhang's way of thinking... this was the same as his own way of solving problems using the 12F Arterial Sheath!

It wasn't about winning by grinding in the system, but rather "seeing" the system parameters from a high vantage point and then achieving an easy victory.

This Bai Chuzhang is indeed someone worth associating with!

"I'm going to grill the skewers and lamb legs, please enjoy, everyone!" The thin, dark-skinned owner of Peiyang Barbecue didn't deny it either, turned around, and left.

"Lao Bai, you're cheating here." Liu Zhuren said with a smile.

Bai Chuzhang did not explain, but glanced at Ji Xiang.

"Very normal," Bai Chuzhang said with a chuckle.

……

……

Seeing the Patient's condition was stable, Zhao Jixiang gave instructions to Qian of the ICU to call him if anything came up, then returned to his own office.

He sat quietly for a long time, yet remained restless; he inquired about the Patient's status, and after learning everything was stable, he changed his clothes and went home.

Zhao Tianjiao was buried in study, which gave Zhao Jixiang a slight sense of gratification.

"Dad, you're back," Zhao Tianjiao said, turning around upon hearing the sound.

Seeing his father's complexion was off, he stood up and asked cautiously, "Dad, is there a problem with the Patient?"

"No, the Patient is doing very well."

"Don't lie to me, what happened?" Zhao Tianjiao asked with a mix of curiosity and worry.

He was now a reserve Doctor; no Doctor could be uninterested in the post-operative recovery of an Organ Transplantation, especially one handled personally by his own father.
