The real Yu Qishan was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with regular features, a square face, and a very calm and indifferent expression.
The person in front of him was completely different from the real Yu Qishan in terms of appearance, personality and temperament.
But he just wore a white coat with a work badge with “Yu Qishan” on his chest and walked around the inpatient department. Patients and nurses all called him “Doctor Yu.”
There were so many people in the inpatient department, and the number of medical staff, patients and their families coming and going every day was too numerous to count, but this imposter could walk around calmly and freely without revealing a single flaw. With such ability, he was at least not an ordinary little monster.
Jiang Lan felt depressed and asked the security guard to copy the video and send it to him.
The hospital director was a little confused: “What’s going on? Why is Yu Qishan’s work ID card in this person’s possession?”
Jiang Lan thought for a moment and said politely, “I’ve run into him a few times in the inpatient department. Both doctors and nurses call him ‘Doctor Yu’. As far as I know, he should still be in the clinic on Monday. You’d better contact the real Yu Qishan to confirm his situation.”
Speaking of seeing patients, he suddenly remembered what the nurse Sister Zhang told him at that time. She said that she ran into Yao Shun one morning who had asked her how to get to the psychiatric department. Yao Shun looked normal at that time. But when the hospital nurse sent Yao Shun to the ward, she said that when he was about to leave after seeing the doctor, he suddenly fell ill in the hall and broke his leg when he fled in panic.
Yao Shun’s attending psychiatrist happened to be Yu Qishan. Then Yao Shun, who had broken his leg, happened to be placed in Ward 618. When “Yu Qishan” came to Ward 618 to see Yao Shun, he happened to meet him… “Yu Qishan” also happened to hint to him that Jiang Chi had a mental illness…
The most coincidental thing was that, looking at the surveillance video, before Yao Shun suddenly went crazy and attacked Jiang Chi at noon today, “Yu Qishan” also came to check the room and even talked to Jiang Chi, but was ignored by Jiang Chi.
If there were too many coincidences, it was no longer a coincidence, but a deliberate plan. Moreover, these coincidences formed a circle, which just happened to trap Jiang Chi.
At this moment, Jiang Lan was extremely certain that “Yu Qishan” had gone through this big circle just to get close to Jiang Chi, or to make Jiang Chi a monster in everyone’s eyes. He even suspected that Li Xifang’s sudden death was also related to “Yu Qishan”.
But what was so special about Jiang Chi? Jiang Lan glanced at Jiang Chi who was quietly following him and felt that all the doubts were like a ball of thread that was getting bigger and bigger, with no way to untie it.
“How is this possible? Dr. Yu Qishan has been in the hospital for four or five years. Except for the newcomers, most of the old medical staff know him.”
The person in charge found it a little hard to believe, but the surveillance video forced him to believe it.
——The video was playing the part where Yu Qishan and Jiang Lan were confronting each other at the clinic door. After Jiang Lan pushed him away, the nurse next to him helped him up with concern and even talked to him for a few words.
The work badge on his white coat was so obvious that it was impossible for the medical staff in the inpatient department to miss it.
“How could this happen…” The person in charge murmured in a low voice, but he had already taken out his mobile phone, found Yu Qishan’s number and dialed it.
The call was picked up after a while, and the person in charge had a tense face, fearing that the person who answered the phone would be another imposter. Fortunately, the voice on the other end of the phone was familiar.
The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief and asked tentatively, “Qishan, are you free to come to my office now?”
Yu Qishan’s voice was somewhat inexplicable: “Is there an emergency in the hospital? I just attended a funeral and haven’t returned from my hometown yet.”
“You asked for leave to go back to your hometown?” The person in charge was speechless.
“Yes, my mother-in-law passed away, and I went back to my hometown to attend the funeral. I took a week off.”
“Please accept my condolences. It’s not an emergency. I can find someone else to handle it.” The person in charge exchanged a few words of greeting before hanging up the phone.
Afterwards, he sent a message to the HR department, asking them to check Yu Qishan’s leave record. The HR department sent it back quickly, but the screenshot showed that they had not received Yu Qishan’s leave note this week.
“What is going on?” The person in charge had no idea what was going on.
The real Yu Qishan went back to his hometown for a funeral, but the hospital staff did not receive the leave note. The fake Yu Qishan was parading around the hospital under the identity of Yu Qishan, but he was not exposed?
Just thinking about such a thing seemed like a fairy tale.
What kind of means could deceive so many people and prevent the counterfeit from being exposed?
The person in charge shuddered, with cold sweat on his back. He said, “This is a bit weird. Let’s call the police first and let them handle it.”
Jiang Lan didn’t reveal too much to him, and only said: “Let the police intervene first.”
….
After leaving the monitoring room, Jiang Lan said goodbye to the person in charge. It was late, and he had to take Jiang Chi to get an injury assessment before get off work. When he left, he ran into the nurse Zhang at the hospital gate. She looked embarrassed and was obviously waiting for them.
Sister Zhang had worked as a caregiver for a total of four days. Except for today’s accident, she was indeed very patient and careful when taking care of the elderly in the previous few days.
Jiang Lan had no intention of taking his anger out on her. He thought she was here to get paid, so he said, “I’ll transfer the four-day wages to you via WeChat.”
“No, you misunderstood.” Sister Zhang waved her hands repeatedly, looking a little timid: “I just feel uneasy… Jiang Chi is fine, I’ll just take a look and leave. After what happened today, I don’t have the face to ask for my wages…”
After saying that, she apologized to Jiang Lan again and again, then left in a hurry.
Sister Zhang was just an ordinary little person, honest and kind, afraid of getting into trouble. It was understandable that she dared not show up when encountering something like today, after all, she was just a caregiver.
Jiang Lan looked at her back and transferred the wages to her anyway.
That way they would be even.
“Let’s go get an appraisal first, and then go home. We’ll have dinner at home tonight.”
Jiang Lan hailed a taxi and took Jiang Chi straight to the nearest appraisal agency. He also sent a WeChat message to Ying Qiao, telling him about Jiang Chi and asking him to go home directly after getting off work.
….
At this time, Ying Qiao was sitting in Tai Feng’s office.
He sat alone on one side of the single sofa, while Tai Feng and Chen Hua sat at each end of the three-seater sofa.
The atmosphere in the office was not good. This silence had lasted for nearly ten minutes and was about to continue.
Ying Qiao was a little impatient, but this time the matter was special, so he controlled his temper and sat in the office, wondering in his heart why Jiang Lan said he would answer the phone and then get back to him, but he hadn’t replied yet?
He was wondering idly what Jiang Lan was doing when his cell phone vibrated.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. The little monster really replied to him.
But his face darkened as soon as he took one look at it.
No wonder Jiang Lan didn’t reply to his message for several hours. It turned out that something happened to Jiang Chi.
When Ying Qiao thought about the trouble Jiang Lan had encountered outside and he knew nothing about it, he felt like he was on fire. He became more and more impatient.
“Since we can’t come to a conclusion after discussion, let’s adjourn the meeting.” Ying Qiao tapped the table with his fingers, breaking the long silence.
Tai Feng said dissatisfiedly: “What are you going to do in such a hurry?”
Ying Qiao glanced at him with contempt: “My boyfriend is waiting for me to come home for dinner.”
“…”
Tai Feng was shocked by his shamelessness: “Such a big thing hasn’t been discussed yet, and you’re already thinking about eating?”
“Can we find the person by discussing it here?” Ying Qiao lowered his eyes, hiding the complicated emotions in his eyes: “If Ji Xian is really behind these recent events, I will not hold back.”
Tai Feng sneered: “Am I worried about her? I am obviously worried about the mastermind behind these recent events, and she is not the only one!”
“You are worrying about nothing.” Ying Qiao sneered: “No matter how many there are, if they dare to do something behind my back, I will find them and kill them.”
“It’s so simple in your mouth!”
Tai Feng looked upset: “Let’s not talk about anything else, just Ji Xian. If she really shows up, how much damage and impact will she cause?”
Not to mention that there may be other powerful monsters hiding in the dark.
If a conflict really occurred, all the efforts made by the Demon Management Bureau over the years would be wasted, and the relationship with the human race would inevitably break down.
“Your worry here will not have any effect, so why not deploy more people to continue collecting clues.” Ying Qiao said coldly: “And from what I know about Ji Xian, she wouldn’t have shown up on her own initiative, which means that she at least has no intention of taking action now. You still have time.”
“Alright, alright. I’ll send someone to investigate right away. That’s all for today.”
Tai Feng spread the documents on the coffee table in annoyance. Then the papers on top fell apart, revealing half of a portrait underneath.
She was a pretty and gentle woman, about thirty years old, slender and tall, wearing a white long skirt. She held a black umbrella in her right hand, and her eyebrows and eyes under the umbrella looked distant and indifferent.
This was the information sent over by the Chuncheng Branch of Yunnan Province.
A month ago, Chuncheng suddenly experienced abnormally high temperatures. The average temperature remained above 36 degrees for half a month, and there was no rainfall.
The police station noticed something unusual and sent people to investigate, and accidentally found the woman in the photo.
The Chuncheng branch was not large, and there was no powerful monster in charge, so the monster sent out to investigate the anomaly naturally could not recognize the woman’s identity and let her escape after the fight.
Of course, the culprit that caused the abnormal temperature in Chuncheng “escaped”, as written in the report of the Chuncheng Branch.
After the report was submitted to the Beijing General Administration, someone recognized the woman’s identity and sent the information to Jiangcheng. This was considered as a sale to the Jiangcheng Branch to save Ying Qiao’s face.
Ying Qiao’s gaze was fixed on the photo, with emotions surging in his eyes.
His most vivid memory of Ji Xian was when she said to him indifferently before she left: “Since he has chosen the human race, he has abandoned you and me. He has never considered me at all, so why should I be sad for him?”
Since then, Ying Qiao never saw her again, nor heard from her again.
When he met her again, her face was still the same, but her expression was even colder. Even her favorite blue clothes had changed into white.
A trace of sarcasm appeared on his lips, and he recalled that when Geng Chen traveled around, he would buy any nice blue clothes he saw, and he often brought back unknown plants to dye the cloth himself. Most of the time, out of a hundred pieces of cloth he dyed, he could only pick out one or two nice blue ones. After working hard to accumulate a lot of clothes and cloth, he would ask someone to send them to Ji Xian who was far away in the Northern Desert.
At that time, Geng Chen was smiling like a fool, and Ying Qiao was thinking that when they returned to the upper realm, the clan would have another wedding.
Who could have thought that fate would play such a trick on them and they would never be able to return to the upper realm.
If Geng Chen had not died, Ying Qiao would really want to ask him: Do you regret it?
