Origin Chapter 38: The robbers
President Wang once greeted the dean here, and Lin Qingming did not owe much medical fees, so the hospital has not urged him yet.
However, the top priority is to find a way to make money. If nothing else, the cost of the bed and the living expenses of Lin Qingming and Huang Ping alone cost nearly two hundred yuan a day.
Soon, the loading and unloading team will also have a holiday. The boss is kind, knowing that Wu Zhongyuan is short of money, so he contacted him for an errand. He followed the delivery truck to Guangzhou, helping to load and unload the goods along the way, traveling back and forth for half a month, Two hundred yuan a day, if the delivery is good, the owner can give a little more.
Wu Zhongyuan agreed and went back to the hospital to say hello to Lin Qingming and Huang Ping before leaving.
"Brother, it's so boring that you lie down every day. These two books are left by Master. You can look through them when you have nothing to do. It's very interesting." The experience of practicing medicine was given to Lin Qingming.
Lin Qingming nodded, "Be careful when you go out, don't trust others."
Wu Zhongyuan agreed, took the bag and went out, and Huang Ping followed him out to see him off.
When they got the elevator, Wu Zhongyuan gave Huang Ping the remaining five hundred dollars, "I'm really thankful for you during this time, you can't even go back during the New Year, you can take this money and save it. Use, we'll have money when I get back."
Huang Ping took it and said, "I still have more than three hundred."
"Eight hundred is not enough, I won't be able to come back until half a month," Wu Zhongyuan asked, "By the way, how has my brother treated you recently?"
Huang Ping was embarrassed and lowered her head, "It's good."
"Did he tell you anything?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again. He could see that Huang Ping was in a good mood recently. There was a reason for this.
"I didn't say anything." Huang Ping was even more shy.
"Truth is true in adversity. If my brother's leg can be cured, he will definitely marry you." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Even if he can't be cured, I'm willing to serve him for the rest of my life," Huang Ping blushed. "Let's go, the elevator is coming."
Wu Zhongyuan entered the elevator with a smile and left the hospital.
The car he was following was a large trailer with only one driver. The car was pulling urgent goods that had to be dispatched before the Spring Festival. As long as it was urgent, the shipping cost was high, almost two to three times in normal times. times the price.
The driver is a middle-aged man in his forties. He looks like a driver, his face is full of oil, and his body is dirty.
The car was still out during the Spring Festival, which made the driver complain and curse along the way, and his attitude towards Wu Zhongyuan was not very good.
Wu Zhongyuan doesn't have the same knowledge as him. He rarely travels far. He spends most of the time watching the scenery along the way, and he doesn't talk to the driver much. When he arrives at the distribution station, he doesn't care about his business, just unloading and loading.
Soon, the driver's attitude towards Wu Zhongyuan improved. The reason is very simple. Wu Zhongyuan doesn't care about his business. Sometimes the driver doesn't talk much about some private goods. When the driver negotiates the freight with others, he hides far away of.
Those who run long distances have fixed places to eat. These places are not just for eating, but also for accommodation. Accommodation is not just accommodation, and there are other things.
It's not only himself who has a hard time, there are also many women who don't go home for the New Year. At night, the whole building is humming and chirping.
On the road again, there was a woman in the car. The woman was heavily makeup and in her early twenties. She seemed to know the driver very well. She flirted and groped along the way. Wu Zhongyuan slept on the sleeper in the back seat. , Sometimes he really sleeps, sometimes he pretends to be asleep, but he doesn't say anything anyway.
After running for two days, the women got off the bus. These women seemed to be calling back and forth on this route. After getting off the bus, they were familiar with greeting the driver who stopped here, saying some provocative slurs, wanting to Follow them again.
The itinerary is controlled by the driver. He will stop wherever he says, and he will stop for as long as he says. Wu Zhongyuan doesn't ask any questions. Anyway, the time for the return trip is fixed, and he must return to Gao County in half a month.
The further south you go, the higher the temperature. Wu Zhongyuan came to the south for the first time, and he couldn't help but be curious. Although he had seen some customs and customs of the south on TV and mobile phones before, he still felt different when he saw it with his own eyes. There are three points in my feelings, one is that there are more woods in the south than the north, the second is that the roads in the south are narrower than those in the north, and the third is that the southerners like to drink soup, almost every meal.
The destination of this trip is Guangzhou. Guangzhou feels very large but very crowded. There are beards hanging on the trunks on both sides of the road. After asking the driver, I know that this is a kind of banyan tree.
With the goods, I started to return. After running for two days, an accident happened. After 11 o'clock in the evening, the truck was stopped by someone when it was passing through a remote area.
There were five people on the other side, driving a broken car without a license plate, all wearing helmets, and after getting out of the car, they held sticks and machetes, intimidating the driver to get out of the car.
"After eight lifetimes of blood and mold, and then the fuckin' met again." How frustrating the driver must be.
"Don't get out." Wu Zhongyuan tried to stop the driver from getting out of the car.
"Alas," the driver shook his head helplessly, "don't worry, they don't kill people, they just want money."
The driver got out of the car first, and Wu Zhongyuan followed. When he turned to the left side of the car, the driver was counting the money. Judging by the guy's demeanor, it seemed like something similar had happened before.
"How much do they want?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in dialect.
"Ten thousand," said the driver, "you have to testify for me when you go back, or the owner will think I lied to him."
The two talked in a dialect, which the robbers could not understand. Someone brandished a machete and scolded the two of them in broken Mandarin for not playing tricks.
Seeing the driver count a lot of money, Wu Zhongyuan felt very distressed, "I'll help you drive them away, can you give me some money?"
The driver was in a bad mood and scolded impatiently, "There is no one to force you."
Wu Zhongyuan stepped back, and at the same time secretly took out his mobile phone, and by the light of the headlights, he photographed the robbers with weapons and the driver counting money.
Someone with sharp eyes noticed that Wu Zhongyuan was taking pictures secretly, and rushed towards him yelling and scolding.
Wu Zhongyuan's right leg sprang out, and the latter came first, kicking the robber out with his feet off the ground.
You don't need to have any scruples in hitting a bad guy, and you don't bother to use your fists and feet, so you grab the opponent's golf club directly, don't kick your legs, just hit your head.
Although this group of people are wearing helmets, they are still spinning around with one stick.
I didn't give up after hitting, and even dragged him to the front of the car, took off his helmet and took pictures, and took pictures of each one.
These days, I am afraid of the police. Good people are afraid, but bad people are even more afraid. Begging for mercy will definitely not work. He took the initiative to propose private affairs. Wu Zhongyuan hesitated. He hesitated on purpose. In fact, he just wanted money.
Seeing that he hesitated, the robber immediately took out the money, a satchel with all the money inside, a huge amount of money.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan staring, the robbers mistakenly thought he was too little, and someone took out a handful from his pocket.
Wu Zhongyuan walked over and grabbed it, "Get out!"
The robber who robbed was robbed and walked away with a gloomy face.
The driver was worried that the robber would go back and call someone. After getting in the car, he kept crying and stomping on the accelerator.
Wu Zhongyuan took the money and began to worry that the robbers would call the police, so he remained silent.
After running for hundreds of miles, the driver finally felt relieved and smiled awkwardly, "Little brother, I didn't expect you to hide it."
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.
"Little brother, what's your last name?" the driver asked again.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again. The driver never asked his name or called his name these days. All calls to him were "Hey, come here."
"Thanks to you," the driver said.
"Nothing." Wu Zhongyuan responded casually.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan didn't want to talk much, the driver didn't bother him.
After dawn, the driver stopped for dinner. Wu Zhongyuan threw the stick he had used earlier into the cesspool of the dry toilet, and took the opportunity to count the private expenses last night, 25,000!
With the money, Wu Zhongyuan immediately looked for a place to recharge the phone bill. On the third day he set off, his mobile phone was deducted from the monthly rent and stopped. He has not been in contact with Lin Qingming these days.
But during the Chinese New Year, all the agencies are closed, and there is no place to recharge. He wanted to ask the driver to help him and use his mobile phone to charge the Internet. After thinking about it, let it go. He didn't want the driver to know his phone number.
After breakfast, the two got into the car and continued on their way. The driver took out 10,000 yuan and said, "Little brother, this is for you."
Wu Zhongyuan looked at the money, but did not pick it up immediately, "How much can the owner make this trip?"
The driver didn't expect Wu Zhongyuan to ask this, and was stunned for a while, but he still said, "It has to be fifty or sixty thousand."
"How much can I earn per trip?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"It's just over 20,000 yuan," said the driver.
"That's fine, we'll share the money." Wu Zhongyuan said.
The driver was naturally happy, gave Wu Zhongyuan 5,000, and kept 5,000 for himself, and then asked Wu Zhongyuan for the photo from last night as evidence of "reimbursement". I took two pictures with my phone.
Knowing that Wu Zhongyuan is not an ordinary person, the driver wanted to make friends with him. He also asked a woman to accompany him when he stayed at night. Wu Zhongyuan was not interested in her, but was interested in her mobile phone, so he borrowed her mobile phone to make three calls , but the three calls failed.
He first called Wang Xinran's mobile phone, then Lin Qingming's mobile phone, and finally Huang Ping's mobile phone. Wang Xinran's prompt was to shut down, while Lin Qingming and Huang Ping's prompts to shut down.
Wu Zhongyuan returned the mobile phone to the woman with a very ugly face. If Lin Qingming and Huang Ping's mobile phones indicated that they were shut down, he would not be so nervous, because the three of them had been exhausted before, and they didn't even have enough living expenses, but they both It is turned off, which means that the two people still have phone bills, but the mobile phone is artificially turned off.
Something's wrong, something must have happened.
The woman had no eyesight, couldn't tell that Wu Zhongyuan was in a bad mood, so she leaned up, Wu Zhongyuan pushed her, and she didn't leave until Wu Zhongyuan gave him twenty dollars, and then she scolded and left. .
Wu Zhongyuan can't wait to rush back right now, but it is the Spring Festival, and there is no faster way to get back. He can only urge the driver to rush back as soon as possible.
The driver didn't have the heart to deliver the goods anymore. He just unloaded the goods along the way, and rushed back to Gao County two days later.
The owner of the car picked up the car and settled the salary of 3,000 yuan to Wu Zhongyuan. He didn't pay a cent more. What he saw was not that he earned twice as much as usual, but that the two of them were robbed and lost 10,000 yuan.
Wu Zhongyuan took the money and rushed to the hospital immediately. He now has 33,000 in his hand, and he has paid back the money owed to the hospital, so there should be leftovers.
I rushed to the hospital non-stop, and rushed back to the ward, only to find that Lin Qingming and Huang Ping were not there, and other patients were admitted to the ward.
I was anxious and ran to the nurse station immediately, "Nurse, where is my brother?"
The nurse on duty knew him, "The patient has been discharged from the hospital without permission. You came back just in time. Please settle the hospital bill."
"Discharged?" Wu Zhongyuan was stunned, "When did it happen?"
"It's been three or four days." The nurse was not sure.
"Who will pick them up from the hospital?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly.
"Wait a minute, I wasn't on duty that day." After the nurse finished speaking, she called out another nurse's name.
A little girl came out of the office. This person was the nurse on duty that day. According to this person, Huang Ping was not seen all day on the day of the incident. At night, Lin Qingming was also gone. Through internal monitoring, Lin Qingming left by himself after eleven o'clock.
After listening to the nurse's speech, Wu Zhongyuan first thought whether Huang Ping had been kidnapped, but on second thought, it was not right, because no matter who it was, there was no motive to kidnap Huang Ping.
The hospital was most afraid of arrears in medical bills. When he saw him back, the doctor also came out to persuade him to pay off the arrears as soon as possible. Although he was very anxious, Wu Zhongyuan went to the first floor to settle the account. .
After paying the bill, Wu Zhongyuan returned to the floor where the ward was located. At this time, both the doctors and nurses knew that he had settled the bill. A trustworthy person deserves respect from others. The doctors and nurses knew that he had lost contact with Lin Qingming, and they worked hard. The details of his memories of the day are for his reference.
Huang Ping left the hospital in the morning. Before leaving, she called the hospital canteen and ordered a lunch for Lin Qingming.
This clue is very useful, it means that Huang Ping left the hospital knowing that she would not be back before noon.
Another clue is also useful, that is, a nurse heard Lin Qingming's cell phone ringing on the night of the incident, which means that Lin Qingming answered a call and left the hospital with a sick leg.
Getting useful clues, Wu Zhongyuan immediately went downstairs and charged for the call, and sent a message to Zhao Ying, asking her to help find out the phone number that Lin Qingming called that night.
Soon, Zhao Ying had a reply. On the night of the incident, Lin Qingming answered a landline with a call duration of 2 minutes and 15 seconds. This landline was the office phone of the Surgical Inpatient Department of Huangxian Hospital.
Wu Zhongyuan immediately took a taxi to Huangxian County. After getting on the bus, he immediately called President Wang and asked him to help him to find out why the surgical inpatient department called Lin Qingming that night.
In less than five minutes, President Wang called, "A patient named Huang Ping accidentally fell from the building and was sent to this hospital for emergency treatment. She has no family contact information on her body, and only stored in her mobile phone. I have two phone numbers, one is yours and the other is the number you said."
After President Wang finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan took a deep breath, "Falling from the building? Where did you fall? Who is the murderer?"
"The incident happened in the office building of Guangyuan Garment Factory. The reason for the fall is not clear. What is the relationship between this person and you?" Dean Wang asked.
"She is my sister-in-law, how is she now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly.
"Not very good. The head injury is relatively serious. Although it is not life-threatening, the patient has no obvious response to external stimuli, nor does he breathe spontaneously." Dean Wang said.
"What do you mean Dean Wang?" Wu Zhongyuan was stunned.
"The possibility of brain death is not ruled out..."
