Chapter 401: with translation of chapter title

Zheng Ren! Director Pan shouted.

Usually gentle Zheng Ren was actually this frenzied; this was beyond Director Pan's expectation.

Director Pan, call the police! Zheng Ren was very calm, just kicking the man to take away his fighting ability.

After saying that, Zheng Ren kicked the man in the chest and abdomen.

That man's face had been full of ferocity, but this kick took away his breath, making him curl up like a shrimp, writhing in pain.

He was no longer a threat, Zheng Ren knew.

It wasn't for himself, but because Fan Tian Shui was there.

No matter how fierce that man was, he was just an ordinary civilian, incapable of stirring up any trouble.

This… Director Pan was momentarily puzzled; Zheng Ren's reaction was correct, but perhaps a bit too extreme…

I suspect the child isn't his! Zheng Ren gave the man on the ground a rare cold, stern look.

Director Pan stared for a moment, then Su Yun also realized, Zheng Ren was right!

The logic was simple, but the incident happened suddenly, and nobody reacted in time.

That man kept the swaddling tightly covered, not letting anyone look or the doctor examine, clearly knowing the child was already dead.

When Zheng Ren strongly demanded an examination, he flung the child toward Zheng Ren, proving the child in his hands was merely a tool.

Su Yun dialed 110 immediately to report the crime, and also notified the Medical Department, asking Section Chief Zhou to come handle this.

City First Hospital's Emergency Department has a police office of the branch bureau, but it's just a front—merely to intimidate people, giving some street thugs who brawl a sense of awe.

If one truly needs to contact higher police authorities, it must be the Medical Department that takes action.

Although Section Chief Zhou's duties have become sparse, that's due to years spent on the front lines resolving various medical disputes.

He does the dirtiest, most exhausting work in the whole hospital; even the general surgery department's latrine cleaner can't compare to his workload.

In Section Chief Zhou's own words, he sits on a live volcano that could erupt at any moment; others can avoid it, but he cannot escape and must even extinguish the volcano.

As soon as the call connected and Su Yun recounted the whole incident, Section Chief Zhou sprang up from his seat, his knee hitting the chair corner with a thud, yet he didn't notice.

This is a malicious case; even Section Chief Zhou couldn't immediately say how severe it was.

What has surfaced so far is only the tip of the iceberg. Having discovered this, if it hadn't been found… Section Chief Zhou of the Medical Department shuddered, a chill running through him.

While dialing the branch bureau chief, he brought his capable assistant and hurriedly jogged to the Emergency Department.

In the hallway, he saw Director Pan and quickly asked for a full recount of the incident.

When he personally saw the infant corpse already showing livor mortis, his back was drenched in cold sweat.

If it weren't for the high vigilance of those few in the Emergency Department, a few years ago this would have been a case of enormous malice.

If professional medical troublemakers cooperated, raising banners, blocking the hospital gate while holding the child and wailing, City First Hospital's clinical work would have to shut down.

These days, pulling such a stunt would spread via WeChat and Weibo like a wildfire; who knows how far it could go.

Damn it, bringing a dead child to extort money!

Section Chief Zhou glared ferociously at the man lying on the ground, while Fan Tian Shui stood to the side, appearing casual but actually highly alert to prevent his escape.

Hospital security lacks the authority to arrest people; frankly, Fan Tian Shui's current conduct is already somewhat irregular.

But right now, nobody cares about that.

Whether out of pity for the deceased child or hatred for this middle-aged man, no one noticed this point anyway.

The police arrived quickly, sealed the scene, took the person away, and only then did the Emergency Department of City First Hospital calm down a bit.

Zheng Ren was very angry, but he suppressed his anger inside, and all his actions remained extremely calm.

From judgment to exposure to forcible prevention, his firmness was unlike his usual gentle self as the Inpatient Chief.

Boss, you're awesome. Su Yun pulled Zheng Ren out the side door, stood by the ashtray next to the trash can, took out a Zi Yun from Zheng Ren's pocket, lit one, and handed it to him.

Zheng Ren remained silent, took a deep drag; the spicy tobacco swirled in his lungs before he exhaled a cloudy breath.

Su Yun patted Zheng Ren's shoulder to comfort him, then lit his own cigarette, flamboyantly spinning the lighter between his fingers, exhaling a few smoke rings, and said: Boss, you're still smoking this? It's rather low-class.

Habit. Zheng Ren said.

Some habits need to change. You should always get used to better things; let the past go.

Mm.

How did you figure that out? Su Yun asked.

Zheng Ren shook his head, didn't answer Su Yun's question, but instead countered: What do you think the situation is?

Looking at him, he seems like a repeat offender. Su Yun bit the cigarette butt, his black hair fluttering over his forehead, looking damn handsome.

Let me ask. Zheng Ren picked up the phone, found a number, and dialed.

Sixth Brother, it's me.

Yeah, I have something I need you to look into. Today someone came here holding a dead child to extort money; I feel he isn't the child's relative, more like a child trafficker.

Sure, I'll help you ask, thanks.

Alright, another day I'll treat you to some skewers.

After saying that, Zheng Ren hung up.

You suspect… Su Yun asked.

From the livor on the child's body, the time of death should be early this morning. Zheng Ren said: Being able to coldly hold the child to come get medicine, a series of actions all very calm, with a clear purpose, this means their people aren't just one, and they're quite accustomed to doing this.

Yo ho, Boss, you can even solve cases now. Su Yun snorted habitually.

When I was in school, I assisted the anatomy professor. Our anatomy professor also worked part-time as a coroner for the city bureau; dissecting a corpse earned 100 bucks. To me, that was a huge income. Zheng Ren said.

When I was in school, I used to buy stocks. Su Yun, following Zheng Ren's reminiscence, began recalling his own verdant school days.

I'm mainly worried that man has accomplices, and they still have children in their hands. Zheng Ren said.

Su Yun's expression immediately turned grave.

Why didn't you tell Director Pan?

I think if the Bureau Branch takes action, that's already enough. They're all veteran police officers; couldn't they think of these? Moreover, for some underwater matters, it's still more convenient with Character: Xiao Liu.

The two fell silent immediately.

He smoked puff after puff, extinguished the cigarette butt, and turned back.

At that moment, Zheng Ren's phone rang.

Six Brother, hello.

Mm-hmm, good, good.

Thank you.

Seeing Zheng Ren hang up the phone, Su Yun immediately asked: 'What did you find?'

It's not those medical troublemaker rats. Zheng Ren said: 'The people who came here today are outsiders; the medical troublemakers in Hai Cheng dare not come.'

Outsiders?

Mm, yesterday they even went to the Women and Children's Hospital holding a child. Zheng Ren said: 'They extorted 20,000 yuan.'

Speaking, Zheng Ren gazed hatefully at the howling sky, paused a few seconds, and said: 'At that time, the child was still alive. Character: Xiao Liu and the doctors at the Women and Children's Hospital confirmed it.'

Are they treating this place as the final stop, aiming for a big score, then fleeing far away?

Mm. Character: Xiao Liu said someone contacted the medical troublemakers in Hai Cheng, but they didn't dare accept.

These people…… Su Yun sighed.

Mm, report the situation to Director Pan; this matter is beyond our handling. Zheng Ren's expression gradually became calm.

Let's go check on Yang Lili.

Yang Lili is fine; estimated in another day or two she can be transferred out of ICU. Su Yun said: 'Recently the ICU has been unstable; the flu is severe, every day elderly flu patients develop cardiopulmonary function failure and are admitted to ICU.'

This year, the snow has even fallen down to the south.

By the way, before you came, Director Sun looked for you, saying today they need to perform a resection of an abdominal free-floating body Shou Bing, and they want you to come to the Observation Platform.

What's there to see about an abdominal free-floating body on the Observation Platform?

Yep, that's how I answered him. I directly refused for you, but Boss, I feel Director Sun kneels a bit too quickly? Not enough satisfaction.

Only you would look for satisfaction in a person like Director Sun. Zheng Ren was in a bad mood and directly retorted.

……

……

This case, I heard from a fellow student from the south. This group buys infants with congenital heart disease in the countryside. In a city, they only act once, they don't make a big fuss, they just seek money. Very malicious……
