Chapter 354: No Blinking, No Heartbeat
Gu Mingyue took advantage of the two brothers' distraction and kicked the wooden cannon out of each other's hands. Then the police rushed over...
Here, Guanglei finally found Mei Xiuhai's residence in a hurry. At this time, there were many people queuing in front of the house waiting to be consulted.
When everyone saw this young man rushing to the front regardless of anything, they thought he was going to cut in line, and immediately someone started shouting in dissatisfaction.
Fortunately, a person standing at the door thought he looked familiar and asked, "Are you from Gujia Village?"
Guanglei looked at the girl in front of him and confirmed that he didn't know her. He asked doubtfully, "Do you know me?"
The girl smiled and nodded. "I've seen your photo. Are you here to see my grandfather?"
"Grandpa?" Guanglei reacted quickly. "Oh, I see. You are Mr. Mei's granddaughter, right? Yes, I want to find him. It's urgent."
Mei Xiuhai heard the commotion at the door and thought something had happened, so he hurried out to check what was going on. He then said with a look of surprise, "Haha, a distinguished guest has arrived. Hey, why are you alone? Your aunt isn't with you? That shouldn't be the case."
Guanglei quickly explained, "Grandpa Mei, this is what happened. My aunt accidentally ran into two people who were about to carry a dying person to you. She was afraid that you would get into trouble, so she asked me to inform you. Either go out and hide, or close the door and refuse visitors. The main thing is that she doesn't know the other party's purpose. She asked me to tell you not to confront them head-on, it will not be worth it..."
Mei Xiuhai's expression became serious, but before he could say anything, those who were seeing the doctor jumped out to express their disagreement.
When those close to them learned the inside story, they began to whisper to each other, and soon everyone around them knew what was happening.
Although some people are anxious to see a doctor, they are still more worried about Dr. Mei. Most of these people are patients coming for follow-up visits.
It was not long after the ten-year revolution, and everyone was still terrified by the words "people's words are scary", so they all advised to avoid it.
Some people were full of complaints. They had waited in line for a whole morning and finally waited for the door to open, but now they were told that they had waited in vain. They were very unhappy and started to say things like that Dr. Mei had no medical ethics.
Mei Xiuhai couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Originally, he didn't plan to see patients again, but he would check on them occasionally when an old friend brought someone over.
Gradually, the number of old people bringing in new ones increased. On the one hand, he wanted his granddaughter to learn more case studies.
On the other hand, he really couldn't sit still, so he started to set rules. He would see three people a day, and later increased it to five. Sometimes, if it was an emergency, he would make a break.
In fact, today's quota has been reserved long ago. The people outside came here because of his reputation. If he is not busy, he will let them in.
He didn't expect that his leniency would be taken for granted by others.
So he said sarcastically, "Humph, it's true that people are always greedy. Since you are so dissatisfied, it's just right. From now on, I announce that I will no longer accept external patients. If you are sick, please go to the hospital. Please forgive me for my small temple and cannot provide for you. As for those who have been treated before, don't worry, I will see them through to the end. I will not accept any other patients. Come on, please show them out."
No matter how those people shouted unwillingly, Mei Xiuhai ignored them.
He has now accepted a few more apprentices. Although they are just assistants, there are still many people vying to come and do odd jobs just to learn a few tricks.
Therefore, there were quite a few people in Mei's house. Ten young men came out at once, along with two cooks waving big spoons. Those people were in the wrong, so they didn't dare to say anything and left in embarrassment.
Mei Xiuhai then called to the people who had just helped to speak and said, "Come in with me. I'll treat you after we finish the matter."
A few people were stunned for a moment, then ecstatic. Others regretted it even more after seeing this, and some quickened their pace in shame. They could only blame themselves for not knowing what was good for them.
By the time Gu Mingyue and the public security comrades brought the two brothers over to greet the family, the troublemakers had already left.
The police asked Mei Xiuhai if he knew the two people...
Mei Nanxing suddenly said, "I remember that they brought their mother to see a doctor. Grandpa was very unhappy after taking her pulse and scolded them. The reason was that their mother was overworked and malnourished for many years. The two brothers just said that they were busy and had no time to go back. They didn't know the specific situation. Grandpa asked them why they didn't find someone to help take care of her, but they were hesitant and couldn't explain clearly. Their mother was already unconscious at that time, and grandpa couldn't interfere too much. He only told the two that the old woman didn't have much time left, and they should show more filial piety before sending her away. But the two brothers cried and said they regretted it and wanted their mother to suffer less. They knelt down and begged for some medicine for them. Grandpa softened his heart and agreed..."
At this point, everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Combined with the receipts and drug residues found on the two men, as well as the previous conversation between the two, Gu Mingyue's guess was confirmed.
If she hadn't discovered it in time, it would have become a big deal. News like "A famous old doctor prescribed medicine that caused someone to die" would definitely attract a lot of attention and there would definitely be a lot of people gossiping about it.
When the two brothers were about to be taken away, Gu Mingyue said to the police, "I heard someone tell them that there were many people at this time. I suspect there is someone behind this. I hope this will help you solve the case. In addition, in order to delay their time, I used money to lure them into the trap. I want to ask if I can get the money back?"
When the police heard this, they asked, "We found 112 yuan on the suspect. Are they all yours?"
Gu Mingyue shook her head and said without blinking or beating her heart, "Not all of them, I only lost 100 yuan."
The two brothers were shocked and said, "You are bullshitting. We only found 12 yuan. The yuan is ours. Stop pretending."
Gu Mingyue said innocently, "You are all facing death and still don't repent. How could I not know how much money I have lost? Public Security Comrades, you see, they are too arrogant."
"Be honest and don't try to play tricks." The police officer turned around and assured, "We will go back and check it out, and then notify you to come and collect the money. Would you mind leaving your address and phone number?"
When they saw that Gu Mingyue left the address of the compound, the people from the Public Security Bureau had a subtle expression. They didn't ask any more questions and left with a more respectful attitude.
After Mei Xiuhai and the others left, he expressed his gratitude, "Girl, you saved me again. I will never be able to repay your kindness in my lifetime."
Gu Mingyue said politely, "You are embarrassing me by saying that. I just happened to run into you. It's just a small favor. It's nothing. Besides, you saved Guanglei, so how can this be counted? Instead of arguing with me here, why don't you find a place for me to rest? I'm exhausted from running errands all morning. Your house is really hard to find..."
Mei Xiuhai quickly invited them into the house and prepared a lot of fruit cakes. "Eat first, I'll ask Mrs. Wang to make you something delicious. Her ancestors were imperial chefs."
Gu Mingyue's eyes lit up. "Then I'd better eat less and save some for lunch."
