Chapter 196 The Murder Case Will Be Solved! (Please Subscribe)
Professor Feng didn't even look in Pang Hong's direction; he was watching Nie Mingxian's anesthesia procedure with admiration, nodding frequently but without uttering a word.

The atmosphere in the operating room was tense; although there were many people, you could hear a pin drop.

Even the traveling nurses' trolleys are moved with utmost care.

Fu Qianjin, the director of the Department of Trauma Surgery at Minzu University Hospital, looked around and asked Zhang Mingcan, "Director Zhang, where is Huang Kai from your department?"

Fu Qianjin sounded like he cared a lot about Huang Kai.

Zhang Mingcan rolled his eyes upon hearing this: "Director Fu, Huang Kai is the backbone of our department. Please calm down. What time is it now?"

"Huang Kai has some family matters to attend to recently and has taken leave from work, so he hasn't been to the department."

Fu Qianjin is an inhuman bastard. As the director of the Foreign Languages ​​Department, it's only polite to ask you to come and help. But instead, you're poaching people at this time. I don't even want to scold you.

Upon hearing this, Director Hongdu asked Fu Qianjin, "Fu Qianjin, you and Huang Kai are quite familiar, aren't you?"

"Xiao Wu? What's our relationship like?" Hong Du looked in the direction where Wu Xuanqi was.

"No, no, no, no!" Fu Qianjin's eyes were small, and now they were narrowed into slits as he quickly tried to dispel the awkwardness.

It should be noted that Wu Xuanqi's TCM teacher had a long-standing friendship with this former director of the Central Hospital. If the director really wanted to poach Wu Xuanqi's staff to work at the Central Hospital, it wouldn't be impossible for him to do so.

Fu Qianjin himself disagreed with the idea of ​​exchanging Huang Kai and Wu Xuanqi for one.

Wu Xuanqi smiled.

About four minutes later, Director Zhang Mingcan's phone screen lit up. After glancing at it, Zhang Mingcan said in a cold voice, "Start disinfecting and laying down the drapes. The two professors have already gotten off the train and are heading towards the hospital."

As soon as Zhang Mingcan gave the order, Wu Guonan, Xue Tao, Zhang Mingcan, Fang Ziye, and Wu Xuanqi immediately began to work.

Fang Ziye was responsible for going out first to wash and disinfect his hands, and then laying out a towel. Xue Tao and Wu Xuanqi began the disinfection of both lower limbs. To save time, Director Wu Guonan and Director Zhang Mingcan personally supported his legs.

The director of the Department of Trauma Surgery at Minzu University Hospital is Fu Qianjin. He was called in to help, but he didn't actually need to help. He just needed to make up the number of people, just in case!

The staffing for this surgery is already top-tier in Enzhou and even in Hubei Province.

We finally managed to get Pang Hong onto the operating table, so there's no chance of any accidents happening.

Director Hongdu is getting old, so he doesn't need to do this kind of physical work himself.

However, after Fang Ziye washed his hands and entered the operating room, Zhang Mingcan's phone suddenly started flashing again.

Although there was no ringtone, a constant buzzing sound could be heard.

He walked over and said, "Director Zhang, this is your phone. It's Director Wang Dongshan from the emergency department calling. Should you answer it?"

The tour guide first explained the contact name Zhang Mingcan had given him on his phone.

He would hang up immediately if it was just an unfamiliar number, but since it was the head of the hospital's emergency department, he would still give him a heads-up.

Zhang Mingcan was focused on preparing for the surgery, but upon hearing this, he hesitated for a moment: "Could you get my phone for me?"

The tour guide immediately understood, clicked to answer the call, and then held the phone to Zhang Mingcan's ear without turning on the speakerphone.

At this moment!
Everything is just an unexpected complication!
But at that moment, Zhang Mingcan, who was supporting Wu Xuanqi's leg while he was disinfecting it, unprofessionally loosened his grip, causing Pang Hong's right leg, which was being disinfected, to slam heavily back onto the operating table.

Wu Xuanqi froze for a moment, took half a step back, his face full of confusion, his eyes filled with doubt and questioning.

"When did this happen?" Zhang Mingcan's tone suddenly turned low and furious!
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

But no one could hear what was being said on the other end of the phone. They were just curious: what had gotten into Zhang Mingcan all of a sudden? Not only did he make such a basic mistake, but his tone was also cold and angry.

"Director Zhang, are you alright?" Upon seeing this, Wu Guonan almost thought that Fu Qianjin had suffered a sudden heart attack.

While the probability of a surgeon suffering a sudden heart attack on the operating table is not that high, a prefecture-level city might encounter one such case every few years.

This could be due to exhaustion leading to arrhythmia or myocardial infarction.

"Where is Huang Kai now? Is he in the emergency ICU? Or in the ambulance? What's his condition? I'm coming right away..."

After hanging up the phone in a hurry, Zhang Mingcan said to Fu Qianjin and Wu Guonan, "Director Fu, could you come and help me? Huang Kai fell down from upstairs and we don't know his condition. He's on his way to our hospital by ambulance. I might have to go and check on him."

Zhang Mingcan's words caused a stir, leaving everyone stunned.

Clearly, no one had anticipated such a reversal.

Upon hearing this, Director Hongdu immediately ran to the operating room door and kicked the foot-operated sensor hard, causing the lead-plate door of the operating room to open with a loud bang.

Huang Kai is a leading figure among the younger generation of trauma surgeons at Enshi Central Hospital. He is arguably the most outstanding rising star. Zhang Mingcan considers him a treasure, and other department heads are also envious, wishing they could poach him away.

But he is currently the apple of Director Hongdu's eye, without exception.

He's one of his direct subordinates.

Zhang Mingcan also hurriedly ran out.

It's no wonder Zhang Mingcan was stunned when such a talented person was suddenly injured, especially after falling from a building!
Fu Qianjin immediately opened his squinting eyes, and while putting on gloves, said to the scrub nurse, "Prepare the sterile gauze again and pour iodine tincture for Dr. Wu."

The circulating nurse immediately went to refill the povidone-iodine solution. The sterile gauze was on the sterile operating table and needed to be thrown into Wu Xuanqi's sterile disinfection tray by the scrub nurse.

At this moment, Fang Ziye stood with his hands raised, keeping a distance from the sterile sheet package while making way for Zhang Mingcan, who was leaving in a hurry.

When a doctor in our hospital fell from the building, as the director, he had an unshirkable responsibility to go to the emergency department to see him immediately.

He wasn't the lead surgeon for this operation; the lead surgeon was a professor from another hospital, and the patient was from Director Wu Guonan's team. So, everyone could understand what was going on.

However, the fall made Pang Hong speak again. His vision was covered by the anesthetic drape, but he could still feel touch. He said, somewhat fearful of death, "Don't do anything reckless. Although my condition is not serious and I don't feel any pain, it is still a fracture and an injury."

"Director Zhang, Director Zhang, are you there?"

But no one paid any attention to Pang Hong's words.

Instead, Wu Xuanqi explained to Pang Hong, "It's nothing, just a disinfectant drape that needs bandaging. We'll be using a hammer later."

Anyway, Pang Hong can't see it, and orthopedic surgical procedures are not exactly gentle.

"Where did Director Zhang go? Did something happen to one of the doctors in the department?"

Pang Hong was indeed blind, and his tone softened slightly, but having worked in surgery, he knew about the violent tendencies in orthopedics.

"Yes, the doctors in the department have some personal matters to attend to. But it won't affect your surgery," Wu Xuanqi explained.

Disinfection continued, with Fang Ziye standing by, ready to lay out the towels after disinfection.

Pang Hong urged, "How much longer until Professor Duan and Professor Deng arrive? My surgery should be starting soon, will there be any unexpected problems?"

He seemed to be looking forward to having his surgery soon.

They didn't even want the orthopedic surgeons to get injured, so they called Professor Deng Yong and Professor Duan Hong over to rescue him, thus delaying their own surgery.

Wu Guonan explained, "Pang Hong, don't worry, your surgery will definitely be arranged as soon as possible."

Wu Guonan was actually a little worried about Huang Kai's situation, but he also knew that the main task for today was to get Pang Hong's surgery done and get him on the medical vehicle to be transferred to the prison as soon as possible.

In his case, he can be transferred directly after the surgery.

Having completed humanitarian treatment, what awaited Pang Hong was interrogation, and Wu Guonan even hoped to subject Pang Hong to a few more rounds of stern interrogation.

He's even willing to provide pain-based interrogation techniques that require no physical damage or evidence.

Unfortunately, such things are not allowed.

Disinfection continues.

Although Zhang Mingcan left, it did not affect the progress of the surgery in the operating room at all.

After disinfection, Fang Ziye quickly laid out towels, and after laying out small and medium sheets, Wu Xuanqi and Xue Tao, who were already wearing sterile gowns, began to wrap up Pang Hong's feet.

Then, a sterile sheet was laid out. Meanwhile, Fang Ziye washed his hands again, put on a sterile surgical gown, and returned to the operating table to help with the skin dressing application. Ten minutes later...

All preoperative preparations have been completed.

Wu Guonan, Xue Tao, and Fang Ziye stood at the end of the patient's fractured left leg, while Fu Qianjin and Wu Xuanqi stood at the end of the injured lower limb. At this moment, they simply pressed the wound tightly with gauze to stop the bleeding temporarily, without doing anything themselves.

The worst fear is that Pang Hong will find out that the surgeons who performed the operation were not actually Professor Duan Hong and Professor Deng Yong.

After all, Pang Hong knew that if you performed the procedure on him before the two professors arrived, and he reported you afterward, you would have no way to defend yourself.

Debridement and surgery are not things that can be done by just anyone; they require disinfection.

After all, we had already spoken before the surgery, and the surgeon was a professor, so no one performed any pre-operative procedures!
"Those two professors are a bit late!" Pang Hong suddenly became thoughtful.

"Soon. Eight minutes ago, they said they were already upstairs. They put on their scrubs and then washed and disinfected their hands. It takes some time," Wu Guonan explained.

Four people came in from outside. As they walked in, the two older professors had already finished washing their hands and laying out towels.

"Professor Duan, Professor Deng. This is it." Attending physicians Wang Zhongxing and Zhong Xuegao led Duan Hong and Deng Yong in.

Wu Guonan and the others also turned their gazes to look, including Fang Ziye.

"Professor Deng, Professor Duan," Wu Guonan and Director Fu Qianjin called out as representatives.

"Have you finished all the preoperative preparations?" Deng Yong and Duan Hong went to the sterile surgical gown bag immediately and began to put on sterile surgical gowns and gloves.

"It's done. Now we're just waiting for the two professors to come and perform the surgery themselves." Wu Guonan, as the director in charge, gave an affirmative reply, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Professor Duan Hong was in charge of cleaning one end of the leg. He didn't even bother to look at the X-rays and went straight to meet up with Fu Qianjin and Wu Xuanqi to begin the cleaning and suturing procedure.

On the other side, Professor Deng Yong finally walked up to the white transparent X-ray reader and took a detailed look at Pang Hong's fracture X-ray.

He said in a low voice, "The fracture doesn't seem too serious, so why did it take so long?"

"Director Wu, you could have performed the surgery much earlier." After reviewing the images, Deng Yong was certain that it was a simple fracture surgery.

"Well, the patient has this request. He only feels at ease if Professor Deng, with your expertise, performs the surgery himself." At this point, Wu Guonan became quite blunt.

Pang Hong was already on the operating table, immobilized, and anesthetized. Even if he wanted to refuse the surgery, it was already underway.

Moreover, Pang Hong currently has no family members outside, and they can be prepared to administer general anesthesia at any time. It is estimated that when Pang Hong wakes up, he will be in the place he least wants to go.

"Pang Hong, Professor Deng from Zhongnan Hospital and Professor Duan from Tongji Hospital have arrived. The surgery is about to begin. You should rest for a bit. By the time you wake up, the surgery will be in perfect condition." Wu Guonan patted Pang Hong's stomach as he gave instructions.

You wanted the best doctor? I've brought one for you.

"late!"

"It's too late." Pang Hong suddenly sighed, his tone becoming extremely desolate, no longer the arrogant and domineering man he had been before, nor the foolish person he had been.

"How could it be late? Professor Duan and Professor Deng responded immediately. They took the earliest bullet train to Enshi this morning. It's just that the flight time wasn't right, otherwise they would have flown over."

“It’s not too late. This surgery is perfect for you. It won’t delay your recovery.” Wu Guonan explained to Pang Hong, and also to Deng Yong and Duan Hong.

However, Wu Guonan's words were interrupted by Pang Hong.

"Just a fracture and a ruptured blood vessel, do you think no one in Enshi can do it? You don't need to talk so much nonsense. I'm late to the party, and that's it."

"It's too late."

"It's too late..." Pang Hong's tone was bleak, and he kept repeating this...

Upon hearing this, Professor Deng Yong, who was about to go on stage, paused slightly.

"You're so lucid, and your understanding of the illness is just right, so why did you do those things before? Didn't you realize you have a mental disorder?"

"Didn't you ever consider that he might have died if you had someone remove that patient's tubes?!"

"Why did you do this?" Deng Yong asked as he approached the operating table.

"So what if he's dead? If he's dead, then he's dead!!!"

“Who is he? He’s a police officer. And who am I? I’m not a drug addict, but he still arrested me and locked me up for five years.”

"So what if he died? He deserved to die!"

"He's doing things outside his jurisdiction, creating unnecessary trouble! If he shouldn't die, who should?"

“I never thought I would be arrested by the police, that they would arrest me.” Pang Hong’s tone suddenly turned extremely sinister.

A moment of silence fell over the operating room.

Even Professor Deng Yong was caught off guard when his student, Fang Ziye, suddenly and completely reduced Pang Hong's lower limb fracture using manual fixation. If all went well, an X-ray would show that internal fixation was the next step.

It should be noted that Deng Yong was someone who knew Fang Ziye very well; he was Fang Ziye's teacher. Although he knew that Fang Ziye's repositioning technique was good, he hadn't reached this level.

Even so, the shocking thought flashed through Deng Yong's mind only for a moment.

"What do you mean?" Deng Yong asked first after realizing what was happening, and then said, "Prepare a C-arm fluoroscopy. If the repositioning is good, we can proceed with internal fixation."

"Professor Deng must know what I've done, right?"

"You probably think I'm crazy, right?"

"But have you ever thought about why I wasn't imprisoned directly because of his status? Why? Is the system in En City too chaotic? Or are they all incompetent people?"

"No, they dare not."

"Because murder cases must be solved, but they dare not directly target me."

"They're only capable of stalling now..."

“It’s not that I want to stall for time, it’s that they allowed me to stall for time. They don’t dare to keep breaking through my defenses. Because they had five years before, plenty of time to get things done, but they didn’t dare.”

"However, I can't say that much to you right now."

"You are all professors, top experts, with high and mighty positions. Why would you care about the lives of ordinary doctors like us? You're just seeking fame!" Pang Hong actually started to mock Duan Hong and Professor Deng Yong.

"Pang Hong, shut up!" Wu Guonan shouted upon hearing this.

"Professor Deng and Professor Duan came to perform surgery for you out of kindness. They didn't provoke you, so why are you being so sarcastic?"

"Everyone step back, the C-arm machine is here." Below the stage, an orthopedic doctor personally pushed the C-arm machine into position, waiting only to step on the sensor valve to take a flat X-ray after repositioning.

At this time, all the orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists began to leave.

But Nie Mingxian didn't dare to leave directly. He was wearing a lead apron and hiding behind the lead plate, watching Pang Hong intently, as if afraid that Pang Hong would escape. He was quite professional and dedicated.

After that, once inside the operating room, Pang Hong didn't speak again.

However, because of Pang Hong's previous hints and questions, Deng Yong and the others dared not ask Pang Hong, this prickly man, any more questions.

Every word Pang Hong said contained a wealth of information, but this information was irrelevant to them, irrelevant to practicing medicine and performing surgery, and irrelevant to treating and saving lives.

Those who stand in the operating room are just professional doctors and nurses; they are not responsible for solving cases.

All they could do was perform Pang Hong's surgery and then have him sent to prison.

It had only been less than twenty minutes.

Professor Deng Yong then announced the completion of the surgery on this side, including suturing the skin.

Meanwhile, Professor Duan Hong, who was only performing debridement and suturing on the other side, had just finished debridement and suturing with Wu Xuanqi and Fu Qianjin, the director of the Department of Trauma Surgery at Minzu University Hospital.

He glanced at Professor Deng Yong, then abruptly shifted his gaze to Fang Ziye: "Professor Deng, your student is quite something."
