Chapter 9 Section 9

Looking up at the gray building, the sunlight from the glass windows shone into the eyes, Yukinari Nanao frowned, and put on the sunglasses he had just taken off. "Want to wear it again?" said Sakamoto beside him. "Recently, my eyes are very tired, and the spring sun is too harsh." "Is it because of a hangover? You stink of alcohol." "No way." Nanao covered her mouth with her right hand and exhaled. "You also went to Shinjuku yesterday?" "I wouldn't go to that kind of place, just drink in the cheap bars nearby, probably because I drink too much of the cheap ones."

"Please restrain yourself, or you won't be able to move when you call someone." "I also know, how could I be called! Even if I was called, it would be such a trivial matter." His chin raised towards the building, and there was a signboard of Imperial University Hospital at the gate. "Whether it's a chore, I don't know yet." "Miscellaneous! As soon as I know it's not, I will be kicked out. But you will probably be kept." Sakamoto sighed annoyed. "Anyway, take off your sunglasses first. People like doctors have strong self-esteem. If you offend them, you will be in trouble in the future."

"Go in and get it again." Nanao walked forward again. Walking into the entrance, and further ahead is the counter of the service center, with a young woman sitting behind.Nanao watched Sakamoto walking towards the counter, then looked around. It's been a long time since I went to a big hospital. Although it was a normal day, there were almost no vacancies in the waiting area, and there was a long queue in front of the payment counter. He saw again that there were really many sick people. He was looking at the inexplicable artwork in the middle of the floor, and Sakamoto came back.

"The lady at the counter told us to go to the office. It's in the next building, and you can go straight through the corridor." "If you ask someone to come over, they won't come out to pick you up." "Have you ever seen someone happily come out to greet the police? Take off the sunglasses." Sakamoto turned and walked first, as if he couldn't stand the behavior of his seniors who were always unruly. Nanao pursed her lower lip, took off her sunglasses, and put them in the inner pocket of her suit. Walking through a corridor lined with retail stores and vending machines, they saw a door marked Office.As soon as you enter the door, there are several desks lined up inside, and several men and women are sitting on chairs.

A male employee got up and walked towards Nanao and the others. "What's the matter?" "We are from the Metropolitan Police Department," Sakamoto said. The man's face changed, he said please wait a moment, and then disappeared behind. Nanao looked around the room, and the others seemed to be afraid of him talking, and they all faced down. The man who left just now is back. "this way please." They were taken to the reception room at the back.Across the coffee table, he was facing a man who had just entered old age and three other men. They briefly introduced themselves to each other.The old man's surname is Kasaki, and he is the director of the hospital's affairs. The other three are the criminal police of the Central Bureau of the jurisdiction, and the police department surnamed Kodama seems to be the leader.

"The criminal police from the Metropolitan Police Department also came here specially, so the possibility of pranks is very low?" Kasaki asked Kodama while looking at him. "It's not certain yet." Kodama shook his head, and glanced at Nanao and the others. "However, just in case, our director judged that it is best to contact the Metropolitan Police Department first, and then decide on the future policy." "Oh, that's how it is." Li Mu's black eyes flickered, which seemed to symbolize his inner feelings. "So, can I borrow that threatening letter?" Sakamoto said.

Kodama handed him the copy that had been set aside. "The real thing has been taken for identification." "The shadow copy is fine." Sakamoto reached out to take it, and Nanao also poked her head over. The real thing seems to have been folded, there are several vertical creases, and there is a text on it, as if written directly on these creases, the text that seems to be printed by the printer is not long: I would like to inform the relevant people of Teito University Hospital: You ignore the repeated medical errors in the hospital and have not made these facts public at all. This kind of behavior is tantamount to belittling the lives and human rights of patients, and even lessening people's trust in medical care.Immediately publish all mistakes and apologize to the public, otherwise we will destroy the hospital with our own hands.If there are victims due to vandalism, you will be fully responsible.

Warner "The content is quite extreme." Sakamoto said, "Is there any clue?" The chief of affairs shook his head. "We don't understand what the letter refers to at all. It says that there are medical negligence, deliberate concealment, etc., all of which are fabricated, and can only be said to deliberately trouble the hospital." Hearing these words, Nanao snorted. Kasagi looked at him displeased. "how?" Nanao wiped the middle part. "Even if the hospital doesn't think it's a medical error, some people still believe it happened."

"What's the meaning?" "You should also understand that the hospital and the patient sometimes have different cognitions." "Are you referring to cases where patients think that certain treatment results are the hospital's negligence?" "Is it because you think you are not clear? For example, if a patient dies unfortunately, and the family members and the hospital have different opinions on the cause of death, isn't this also possible?" The chief of affairs clasped his hands and stared at Nanao.That kind of gaze is more aptly described as "stare".

"Indeed, when a patient dies unfortunately, it is an example where the hospital will be held accountable." "That's what I mean." "However," Limu said with a straight face, "when encountering such a situation, the family members should first report to the hospital. This often turns into a medical dispute in other hospitals, but we don't have this kind of problem at present." "You mean, no family members protested?" "No." "But, since that's the case, then there shouldn't be people who write such things?"

"That's why I said, no matter how I think about it, I'm deliberately trolling the hospital. It's a bad prank." Kasaki looked away from Nanao, and showed a complaint to the criminal police in the precinct, as if seeking support. "Who discovered this?" Sakamoto asked. "Our doctors are just residents." "What's your name?" "Her surname is Bingshi, Bingxue's Bing, Shilan's Shi." "Can we meet?" "About this matter, these criminal policemen also said the same, but she happened to be in the operating room..." Li Mu looked at his watch. "It's almost time to end, please wait a moment." Kasaki temporarily left the room.Nanao took out the cigarette, because he saw an ashtray on the coffee table, and Li Mu came back not long after the cigarette was lit. "The operation seems to be over, but Ice Room is still in the intensive care unit to observe the postoperative situation. Can you please wait a little longer? I have told her to come as soon as she is free." "The resident doctor you mentioned is the so-called intern?" Kasaki shook his head at Nanao's words. "That's not said anymore, it was abolished a long time ago." "But, are they just like trainees?" Kasaki was very unhappy and frowned. "Residency physicians are all certified by the state and are veritable physicians." "Really? But, is it a newcomer? Can this kind of person also undergo surgery?" "Of course it's with the supervising doctor. However, as I said just now, they are doctors who have passed the national examination. They have no technical problems, but they have relatively little practical experience." "That being said, with such an inexperienced doctor present, wouldn't the patient himself or the patient's family members feel uneasy? s reason." Kasagi twitched the corner of his mouth impatiently. "We don't hand over the important part of the success or failure of the operation to the residents, but let them do auxiliary work." "Even if it's true. What do the family think when a patient dies? The operation must have failed because there were rookies on the medical team - don't they think that? I'm not referring to the facts now , My question is how the family members will question it. In other words, something like this," Nanao picked up the copy on the coffee table, "maybe it was a misunderstanding." "If this is the case, we should protest to the hospital first! However, we have not received even one such complaint." "What does it mean that there is no one now? Does it mean that this hospital has not had one since its establishment?" Knowing that it was impossible, Nanao still asked. "If it goes back to a long time ago, it may not have happened." Li Mu said, as if he was extremely tired of the criminal police's endless interrogation. "Not now?" "At least I have no news about it." "Could it be that you forgot? Sometimes, the hospital will treat it as something insignificant and deal with it, but the bereaved family will never forget it." "This kind of thing..." Just when Li Mu was at a loss for words, there was a knock on the door, and he was rescued in time.Li Mu replied, please come in, the door opened, and a young woman in a white robe appeared, about twenty-five years old, probably because her hair was tied back, and the corners of her eyes were raised. "I'm sorry to ask you to come here when I'm so busy," Li Mu said to her. "This is Himuro, a resident doctor, who is currently studying in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery." Kasagi introduced to the detectives. Nanao and the other detectives got up one after another and saluted.They didn't expect the visitor to be a woman, so they were a little at a loss. "I didn't expect it to be a female doctor." Kodama, the criminal policeman in charge, said, as if speaking for the mood of a group of people. The female resident doctor didn't respond to this point. She sat down in front of the criminal police with a serious expression, and looked at the copy of the threatening letter on the coffee table. Of course, she knew the reason why she was called. "Then," Sakamoto picked up the copy, "It is said that you found the actual letter, right?" "That's right." She replied, her voice low and calm. "Can you please explain the situation at that time?" She nodded and began to narrate—after she was on duty and was going to have breakfast, she just walked out of the hospital when she found a dog tied up in the bicycle parking lot with a piece of paper clipped to its collar. "The content written in it was unusual, and I thought it could not be ignored, so I discussed it with the supervisor. Finally, I decided to report it to the secretariat and sent the letter over." "Was there anyone around when you found this paper?" Sakamoto asked. "I think there should be. At that time, the diagnosis and treatment time had already started, and patients came to the hospital one after another." "Is anyone looking at you, or stopping, when you take the note off the dog's collar?" She was silent for a moment, shaking her head. "I don't know, I didn't pay attention." His tone was firm, probably thinking that he should not be ambiguous at this time. "You held this piece of paper with bare hands, right?" Sakamoto confirmed. "yes." "Uh, about that," Kodama interjected, "we might need to get the doctor's fingerprints later, is that convenient?" "Okay." Himuro resident answered in a flat tone, looking at Sakamoto as if waiting for the next question. This kind of beauty would also want to be a doctor—— Nanao thought so after listening to their conversation.It may be because of no makeup, her complexion does not look good, her figure is slightly thin, and she even gives people an unhealthy impression.However, the powerful eyes that he met with the detectives showed that he had a strong will in his heart. Meanwhile, Nanao was thinking of another completely unrelated matter. I've seen her elsewhere—
