At 10 o'clock in the morning of August 3, Secretary Jian, under the pseudonym Dong Ming'an, came to the registration office of Jimin Hospital and said, "Pastor Robert made an appointment, Mr. Dong Mingsheng. ”

Agent 76's disguised registration clerk flipped through the registration book: Dong Mingsheng was one of the four people who focused on making appointments for brain surgery. He replied: "I found it, I can be admitted to the hospital immediately, go through the procedures, two bareheaded photos, previous examination and laboratory results, fluoroscopic films, and medical records." ”

Secretary Jane replied, "I didn't bring the previous information, and I am going to re-examine it in your hospital." This is a photo of the patient, where can I pay for it? ”

The agent took the photo and sighed in his heart: the patient is Guo Xuan! He took a deep breath and forced himself to compose: "Pastor Robert, who made the appointment, paid three hundred dollars in cash in advance, and he doesn't have to pay any more for the time being. When can I go to the inpatient department to get my admission card after an hour? Do you have family members to accompany you in bed? ”

"Okay, there is a family member accompanying me, the patient's younger brother, Dong Ming'an."

The person who came did not answer the question of "when will you be admitted to the hospital", and the agent did not dare to ask too explicitly, and said: "The accompanying family members also need to apply for a pass, but this kind of document does not need a photo." If you do not register with the doctor on duty within four hours after the hospitalization certificate is issued, the qualification will be automatically cancelled, and 10% of the prepaid fee will be deducted as a penalty. ”

"Understood, thank you."

Watching Dong Ming'an walk away, the agent hurriedly went to report to the chief. In the ward, Liu Zezhi and Ni Xin were playing chess to pass the time, and Zheng Min, who was in charge of monitoring, was watching the game from the sidelines. Seeing his subordinates coming in a hurry, Ni Xin pushed open the chessboard and said, "Is there any movement?" Don't rush, speak slowly. ”

"Yes, Director, there was a person just now, who claimed to be Dong Ming'an, who came to handle the hospitalization procedures for his brother Dong Mingsheng, and this is a photo of the patient."

Ni Xin took a look, and it was Guo Xuan! He ordered: "You go through the formalities for him according to the rules, and remember: calm down and don't let him feel anything unusual." Zheng Min, start monitoring immediately. Zezhi, notify down: the target appears, and all the staff will take up their posts immediately. ”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, at the window of the ward on the third floor of the inpatient department, Ni Xin witnessed Guo Xuan, who had a haggard face, a thin body, and a slow movement, walking into the door of the inpatient department. That's great. I didn't expect things to be so smooth, and everything that went smoothly was a bit unreal, but I hope that Dr. Thomson has the ability to cure his illness, and I hope that Guo Xuan can understand the current affairs and abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

Ni Xin walked back to the ward and said to Liu Zezhi: "Guo Xuan has entered the door of the inpatient department and will be admitted to the ward next door immediately. Zezhi, I'll go back and report the situation to the director, and I'll leave it to you here. ”

"Great! I didn't expect it to be so smooth. Go early, go back early. Don't forget to take the westernmost staff-only staircase, don't bump into Guo Xuan. Listen to the secret whistle report at the door: The person who came with Guo Xuan had carefully observed the movements around him before moving in, and I guess he was not a good person, so everyone should be careful. ”

Ni Xin advised: "Don't worry, you also have to pay attention to something, if there is anything for others to do, don't go out of the ward, Guo Xuan knows you, I guess the military commander also has my photo." The other people I selected to carry out the mission had never met with the military commander. ”

"Don't worry, Guo Xuan knows me, but he is sick and dead now, and I haven't seen his attaché before."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Ni Xin rushed back and said, "How is it?" ”

Liu Zezhi replied: "One qiē is normal, I did a few tests in the afternoon, and the results will not be available until tomorrow morning." No valuable information was heard, and no other suspicious persons were detected by the various surveillance posts. Lao Ni, is there such a possibility: Guo Xuan came to Shanghai and did not pass Guò Shanghai Station? His trip exposed the danger of being arrested, but he didn't agree to come to Lord Yama, so he had to try his luck as a live horse doctor. ”

"It makes sense, when it comes to such a thing as curing the disease, the military commanders at the Shanghai station can't help much, so there's no need to let them get involved. Alas, it seems unlikely that you will kill two birds with one stone. Zezhi, today I went back to report to the work, and the director explained: After the results of the examination come out, if the doctor thinks that there is no surgical value, he will be arrested immediately, and he will be able to interrogate him, and while Guo Xuan is not dead, what can be taken out is nothing. ”

Liu Zezhi sighed: "What the director said makes sense, but I estimate that the arrest and interrogation will not have much gain, and after listening for an afternoon, Guo Xuan said less than five sentences in total, and his speech was slurred, weak, and half-dead, basically a wasted person." ”

Thinking of Guo Xuan he saw in the afternoon, Ni Xin couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, you haven't seen it, Guo Xuan's current appearance, alas, is not much better than a dead man." May Dr. Thomson be able to rejuvenate him. ”

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Dr. Thomson came to Guo Xuan's ward with a few X-rays, Guo Xuan was sleeping soundly, and said to Secretary Jane: "Mr. Dong, the results of the examination are out, you see - this part, congestion and compression of nerves, delayed for too long, the situation is not good, I will operate immediately, but I need to remind you that the operation has certain dangers." ”

Secretary Jane replied, "Doctor, please speak up: what are the chances of my brother recovering?" ”

"Only half of the patients, and if the surgery is not successful, the patients who could have delayed it for two or three months are at risk of dying on the operating table, or dying of post-operative complications."

Secretary Jian hesitated, although Guo Xuan's condition had not yet progressed to the point where he deliberately showed No. 76 as strict, but if it dragged on any longer, Guo Xuan would really become a walking corpse in the near future, and eventually die from the deterioration of his condition. Secretary Jane traveled all the way to Shanghai just to gamble? He replied, "Well, let Dr. Thomson arrange it, the sooner the better." ”

"It's not going to work today, I'll arrange it, if there is no accident, I'll operate at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Of course, Dr. Thomson and Secretary Jian, who is known as Dong Ming'an, had a conversation in English, which Ni Xin couldn't understand, so Liu Zezhi briefly introduced the conversation between the two.

Ni Xin said: "Zezhi, you go to the dean and lend Guo Xuan's X-rays, and I will take it to the Japanese military hospital to find an expert to see." Then go and report to the director. ”

Liu Zezhi replied: "Okay, I'll go to the dean, but Lao Ni, I'll go to the Japanese military hospital, don't forget that I'm half a doctor and know more than you." When I got the film, I went straight to it. ”

"That's right, then I'll be on duty. My car didn't dare to drive in, it was parked in the open space at the end of the back alley of the hospital, you can drive. ”

Liu Zezhi got the X-ray, first went to the military hospital, and after discussing with several military doctors, he returned to No. 76 and came to Li Shiqun: "Director, I heard that Dr. Thomson is preparing to perform a craniotomy for Guo Xuan at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I had just returned from the Songhu Occupation Army Hospital, where two experts looked at Guo Xuan's X-rays and came to the same conclusion as Dr. Thomson's statement that we had been able to monitor was that without surgery we could survive for two or three months, and that the operation would be half successful, but if it failed, there was a risk of dying on the operating table or within 48 hours of postoperative complications. These are the X-rays, please take a look at them, Director. ”

Li Shiqun waved his hand and said, "I'm not a doctor, what's the use of looking at these?" I hope Guo Xuan can escape this catastrophe and be used by me. Did you find any other suspicious people in the hospital? ”

"No, the only thing we have in our control is Guo Xuan and one of his attachés, and the two of them are called brothers to the outside world. Director Ni and I both think that Guo Xuan came to Shanghai for treatment, and it is possible that there was no arrangement for the Shanghai station of the Guò Military Command. By the way, the appointment for Guo Xuan was made by a pastor named Robert, the specific situation is unknown, and I heard the dean say that he made an appointment in accordance with the rules and paid the fee. ”

Li Shiqun asked, "Is there a portrait of this pastor?" ”

"For fear of startling the snake, I haven't asked the person in charge of the registration office to describe his appearance, draw a portrait, and distribute it to find it. Only know the basic information such as the person's height and age. I don't think there are many British priests in Shanghai, right? It shouldn't be too difficult to track down. Director Ni meant that it was not appropriate to rush at this time. ”

Li Shiqun nodded: "What Ni Xin said makes sense, if Guo Xuan's operation is successful, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you will naturally know who this person is." Since this person came forward to make an appointment for Guo Xuan, of course there is a connection between the two people, and if it is tracked down now and passed on to Guo Xuan and his attaché, it may cause extraneous branches. ”

"Yes, if the director has no other instructions, his subordinates will return to the hospital, and he will report to you as soon as the operation is completed tomorrow."

"I almost forgot, there is another thing: Consul Anderson was expelled from the country, and General Kagesa ordered his subordinates to collect some official and media opinions on this matter from Britain and the United States, and gave me a copy, at Hirakawa Shinno, you take the time to translate it and give it to me."

"Yes, but now Hirakawa-kun is not in the office, director, when he comes back, can you tell him to send me to the hospital?"

Li Shiqun said: "These materials are not urgent, just give them to me within this week." Except for the personnel involved in the operation, it is better for the others not to intervene. ”

"Understood, then I'll take the time to come back and get it."

Since July 25, Ge Jiapeng has been working in the morgue of Jimin Hospital for 10 days, and he was ordered by Zhou Chengbin to take Yu Haochen, a military commander agent who had just arrived in Shanghai, to work with Ms. Ellis, an anesthesiologist at Jimin Hospital, and her husband, Mr. Brooke, a bank clerk, to carry out a plan to cover Guo Xuan's transplantation. The "Pastor Robert" who came forward to make an appointment was Mr. Brooke pretending, and Dr. Thomson, Guo Xuan's chief surgeon, was also one of the insiders, and after being persuaded by the new British consul in Shanghai, he agreed to help.

At around 11 a.m. on August 4, Yu Haochen, who worked as a hospital cleaner, arrived at the morgue with a broom in his hand and a dustpan containing garbage on his back.

In the empty morgue, Ge Jiapeng stared at a corpse in a freezer. Yu Haochen said: "Can't we meet in another place?" It's all the hell here, what are you doing? What's so nice about a dead man? ”

Ge Jiapeng smiled: "What is so terrible about the dead? The living are terrible. There are more than 30 passers-by who have stayed with me in the past ten days, and this one is the only one, and the conditions are the best: he died in a car accident this morning, and died instantly, and the body went into the freezer after being delivered nearby. The fatal wound was in the head, and the age and body were all similar. And he is from Xin'an, looking at his clothes, his family background will not be very good, and the family will learn the news, and then rush to Shanghai, it will take six or seven days at the earliest. Are you sure the surgery will start tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock? ”

Yu Haochen replied, "Yes, it was Ms. Ellis who told me herself—what are you doing?" Why do you want to turn over other people's clothes? Ge Jiapeng opened another freezer and rummaged through a corpse.

Ge Jiapeng smiled: "What a fuss! The makeup stuff I asked you to buy two days ago is hidden under the body of this ownerless woman, check it to see what the shortcomings are. ”

Yu Haochen got goosebumps, where is it not easy to hide? Where do you want to hide? After Ge Jiapeng checked it carefully, he said, "There should be nothing missing." ”

Yu Haochen asked: "I heard that the doctor can know the exact time of death through the autopsy, so there will be no loopholes." ”

"You're right, but that's a body exposed to the air, and this corpse is sent to the freezer immediately after death, and I will do some more processing, and the exact time of death is difficult to find out. Lao Yu, you go to the back door at one o'clock, someone will send ...... Forget it, you stay here, or I'll go. In case someone comes, you say I'm ......"

Yu Haochen said: "I know, take something, let's go as originally planned, you look at the morgue alone, wandering around the world in the middle of the night, it's not good." I'm a night shift cleaner and I clean everywhere and it couldn't be more normal. ”

Ge Jiapeng smiled maliciously: "This is what you said, then you can go, remember: if you get something, send it here immediately." ”
