Chapter 104: Entry Point

Leaving the hospital, the two returned to the detachment.

On the way back, Yu Dazhang had already made up his mind.

This matter must be investigated, and investigated to the end.

If what that private hospital did was for money, then it was none of his business.

Every district has a health supervision department; just file a complaint directly, and naturally someone will go investigate.

But when people are involved, it is not as simple as filing a complaint.

In his past life, Yu Dazhang had seen a news report.

There was a surgical doctor named Liu Xiangfeng; what he did could be described as insane.

What exactly he did will not be written here; it probably wouldn't be published anyway.

Listen to his nickname: the Demon Doctor.

For a lofty profession like a doctor to be branded with the title of demon, one can see the degree of his cruelty.

Fortunately, he was reported online and was finally sentenced to seventeen years.

It can be said that evil met its own retribution.

When people are involved, criminal responsibility must be borne; as a criminal police officer, Yu Dazhang naturally had to investigate to the end.

But now there was a thorny problem: he could not find an entry point for the investigation.

Should he go to the health supervision department and report them himself first?

Treating the symptoms but not the root cause... Yu Dazhang quickly rejected this idea.

Even if the health supervision department found problems, at most it would be prescribing high-priced medicine or arbitrary charges.

The punishment would be a fine or rectification.

To investigate deeper, criminal investigation still had to intervene.

Since he could not investigate the hospital directly, he had to find other channels.

For the first time, Yu Dazhang felt his brain was a bit insufficient.

He paced back and forth in the corridor of the detachment, occasionally stopping to stand by the window and gaze into the distance.

From time to time, he shook his head and clicked his teeth.

The officers of the detachment soon noticed his abnormality.

What is that fatty pondering again?

Although everyone was quite puzzled, no one stepped forward to disturb him.

Finally, even Li Jun, the detachment leader, was alerted.

"What are you doing here?" Li Jun came to the corridor and blocked Yu Dazhang, who was walking with his head down:

"Taking a stroll in the detachment to lose weight?"

Yu Dazhang looked at him with a blank expression, momentarily unable to react, but still politely explained:

"Team Leader Li, I was just thinking about something."

"Do you know how long you have been pacing in the corridor?" Li Jun asked with a stern face.

"How long?" Yu Dazhang gradually came to his senses:

"It must have been a few minutes."

"Save your few minutes." Li Jun looked at him with a hint of helplessness, as if looking at a patient:

"An hour and a half ago, someone told me you were already pacing back and forth in the corridor."

Has it been that long? Yu Dazhang suddenly felt his legs were a bit heavy, and his ankles ached.

Seeing his state was not right, Li Jun asked with concern:

"Why do you look so Burdened with worries? Is something wrong with your body?"

He did not dare to say it directly.

Actually, what he wanted to ask was: Is your brain okay?

This kid is currently undergoing psychological counseling; it is normal for there to be emotional fluctuations.

But looking at it now, it is not an emotional issue; it feels a bit like he is obsessed.

"I am fine." Seeing that he was about to cause a misunderstanding, Yu Dazhang quickly explained:

"There are some things I can't figure out, so I was just getting stuck on a dead end just now."

"What things? Can you tell me?" Li Jun still cared a lot about this newcomer; hearing that Yu Dazhang had a knot in his heart, his tone even became gentle.

Yu Dazhang hesitated for a moment. It would be fine to tell the detachment leader; changing the person would be like changing the train of thought.

But he could not say that he was going to investigate the hospital.

At least not for now.

Investigating a Grade 3A hospital without any direct evidence was no different from playing with fire.

If Team Leader Li found out, he would definitely stop him.

Then he could only play it abstractly... After quickly choosing his words in his mind, Yu Dazhang looked at Li Jun with a serious face:

"If a place is found to have suspicious points, or rather, suspected criminal circumstances."

"But no one has filed a report, and there is no direct evidence; at this time, what method should we use to intervene and investigate?"

He felt he had explained it quite clearly.

He didn't mention the hospital once; it sounded like he was just struggling with a question in a textbook.

This kid really has a psychological problem... Li Jun involuntarily had this thought in his mind.

Please... collect... 6... 9... Book... now....!

Where is there a normal person who ponders this for no reason?

Don't you understand the principle of "innocent until proven guilty"?

You said yourself no one reported it, there's no direct evidence, so what the hell is there to investigate?

That's what he thought, but considering Yu Dazhang's current mental state, Li Jun still felt it was better to help him think of the answer.

"If it were me..." Li Jun said while thinking:

"If there's no direct evidence, look for indirect evidence; spare no clue related to it."

"Since there are doubts, something similar must have happened; go investigate existing cases related to it."

"Find connections, check the past, start from the smallest details, and piece by piece..."

He was speaking with great enthusiasm when he suddenly felt his right hand grabbed by someone.

Yu Dazhang, his face flushed with excitement, gripped his hand and shook it vigorously:

"Captain Li, I'm convinced, I'm truly convinced; it has to be you, thinking of it in an instant!"

Shaken until his arm ached, Li Jun tried to pull away but couldn't:

"Let go, let go first!"

What strength... Li Jun had never yielded to anyone in physical power, but today, compared to this fat man, he felt like a little chick.

Yu Dazhang let go, though he still looked somewhat excited.

He took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and spoke in a tone of seeking permission:

"The wrap-up of that abandonment case is a bit troublesome; please give the team a few more days."

"Is that necessary?" Li Jun stared at him with a skeptical look:

"The case has already been dropped, and besides, haven't you already been to the hospital?"

Even if handling a case seriously, there must be limits; he felt Yu Dazhang must have another purpose.

"Prevention," Yu Dazhang quickly made up a reason:

"I need to ensure they won't do such abandonment things again, so I need to follow up for a few more days."

For now, he couldn't think of any other excuse, so he had to use the abandonment case as the pretext.

Investigating alone isn't allowed, so the abandonment case must be the starting point.

"Then..." Li Jun, thinking he was making an excuse to slack off, hesitated before saying:

"I can only give you three days."

In his view, this was indirectly giving Yu Dazhang a vacation.

After three days, the psychological counseling would also end; having just experienced such a major event, letting him relax was only reasonable.

"Three days..." Yu Dazhang felt the time was a bit tight, but he agreed anyway:

"Okay, Captain Li."

Five minutes later, the archives room.

Yu Dazhang knocked and entered.

"Hello, I want to access case files."

The file clerk was a female police officer in her early thirties; seeing someone wanted to check case files, she nodded and said:

"Give me the case number."

"I don't want to look at a specific case file," Yu Dazhang explained:

"There's a hospital in our district; I want to see all cases related to this hospital, including police reports."

Hearing this, the female officer replied with some difficulty:

"Using the archive software's fuzzy search could meet your request, but it will take some time."

Yu Dazhang immediately said:

"That's fine, I can wait."
