Chapter 39 Section 39

The hour hand is about to point to eleven o'clock.Rang Zhi was in a certain room of the hotel, overlooking the Imperial Hospital from the window. It was his first time staying in this business hotel.During the preparations, he actually wanted to move in, but he held back, fearing that if he came too many times, the hotel staff would remember his appearance. Induction of anesthesia takes at least one hour.After anesthesia, the doctor who performed the knife began to move the knife—— Rangji counted the time in his head.Before the most important step of the procedure, the patient must be hooked up to an artificial heart-lung machine, which takes a while and, if done, is not immediately available.According to his investigation, the patient's body temperature will be lowered to about 25 degrees Celsius during the surgery for a large thoracic aneurysm.When blood is circulated using an artificial heart-lung device, the delivered blood is cooled first.This practice is said to protect the patient's brain and spinal cord.It takes about an hour to lower the body temperature to twenty-five degrees.

Doctors should have stopped Shimabara's heart at some point after that. The heart can be stopped for about four hours.Physicians must complete the task within this time, that is, to remove Shimabara's large aneurysm and connect the artificial blood vessel.If the operation is successfully completed, doctors will allow the previously interrupted blood flow to the heart again.Cardiomyocytes start to move again due to receiving blood, and if there is no abnormality, they will start beating after a few minutes.Physicians force the heart to resume beating even when it is not beating. Don't even think about doing that, Rang Zhi thought.

Now that the heart has stopped, it doesn't need to beat anymore.This heart is not someone else's, but Soichiro Shimabara's.This man regards the interests of the company, no, his own interests are more important than human life.The heart of such a person need not beat again. Rang Zhi thought, I will make you unable to move again.He wanted to create a situation where the physicians couldn't get their hearts back beating no matter how hard they tried, no, they couldn't even try their best. However, the timing of this situation is important. If the accident happened early, doctors would probably abort the operation.If only the artificial heart-lung device is connected, it may not be difficult to turn back in time.On the contrary, it is not too late.If the main operation has been completed, the rest of the work can be accomplished even if the situation arises.

He decided to wait a little longer.There is no need to rush.It is estimated that such an operation will take at least four or five hours. Thinking about looking, Rang Zhi looked at the mobile phone on the coffee table. At half past eight this morning, the phone rang.At that time, Rangzhi had already woken up, but was still lying on the bed. He was taken aback, and jumped up to confirm the calling number, which showed Wang's mobile phone. He hesitated and turned off the power.Because, he felt that if he heard her voice, he would be shaken.He had made up his mind never to see her again, but using her still made his conscience sting.

Moreover, he has an ominous premonition.She had never called him at such a time before, but it felt bad to call him on a day like this.It was impossible for her to see anything, but he felt that if he answered the phone, all the careful planning would be ruined. He waited a while before listening to voicemail.The message was left by Wang, and the content was to hope that he would contact her after hearing the message. There was tension in her voice, and her tone was not as lisp as usual. As soon as I opened the SMS box, there was also a message with the same content.However, it is expected that there must be one or two emoticons in the text messages that are usually sent, but this letter does not have half of them.

Rang Zhi believes that things must be strange. I hope there is something to find him, he really cares.However, he judged that he must not contact her now. Now, his mobile phone has been turned off, and he regrets not doing so sooner. Listening to Wang Wang's message made him uneasy. He approached the window again, looking down at the hospital, holding the binoculars to his eyes. Exactly three cars pulled into the parking lot, two of them vans.He followed the movement of the car with binoculars.The three cars were parked in different places, the doors opened, several men got out of the car, and five people walked out of the two vans.

Rang Zhi thought it might be the police.Although they couldn't be seen through binoculars, the people who got out of the car had the smell of hunting dogs. Their actions of looking around and walking quickly towards the hospital made people feel solemn and serious. If it was the police, why did plainclothes come to the hospital today?These days I often see uniformed police officers, but nothing like today happened. Rangji thought about the possibility that the plan had been exposed, but it didn't make sense.It was impossible for the police to find out that someone wanted Soichiro Shimabara's life.

Some of those people walked into the hospital, while others dispersed at the gate. Rang Zhi looked at the desk, where there was a laptop computer, as long as the password was entered and the Enter key was pressed, the first action would be initiated. Rangji had already installed the devices in the hospital that he had spent several weeks making, and if one of them was discovered, the whole project could not go smoothly. He stood in front of the desk and entered the password, and a dialog box appeared asking whether to execute the program.If you press the Enter key, it means Yes. Looking at the clock, it was only half past eleven, and the operation had not yet entered the core stage.

He shook his head, and clicked No displayed on the computer screen.
