Chapter 40 Babies - Nurse
case two baby
23 nurses

Probably because of the slight drop in temperature last night, the morning frost and cold fog shrouded Sheng'an in a chaotic manner.

"Morning, Uncle Feng. Have you changed shift yet?"

Jiang Mo yawned, shouted in a hoarse voice, and slipped across the compound on the frosted masonry road in a daze, puffing his sleeves to pull the old-fashioned latch on the side door for early departure and late return.As soon as the door hinge squeaked, a drowsy head popped out of the window of the security room next to the side door.

"Xiao Jianger, go to work?"

Feng Qingxiang opened the plastic-steel window with a "squeaky" sound, brushed his grizzled sideburns meticulously against the wind, and took advantage of the time to say hello to the bus stop, "Ah... don't be in a hurry today. The road is slippery, drive slowly!"

Jiang Mo waved his sleeves, half-dreamed and half-awake, and moved towards the parking space with ease, with his head drooping to wake up, and he rubbed his eyeballs out—she just wiped two handfuls of cold water hastily in the morning, and this For a while, the eyelids were still sticky and could not be opened, and I always felt that there was gum on them.

The residential complex just across the road from the Cultural Industry Park was actually the family compound of the city’s cultural troupe 20 years ago.

The supporting facilities of the community have been well renovated, but there are not many young people who live here. The parking spaces at the entrance are half sold and half free, and more than half of them are vacant. The parking locks of the property are broken and repaired. Occasionally there is a car that stops temporarily and no one cares about it. After a long stop, the security room charges a symbolic [-] cents, most of which is equivalent to the cigarette money of the elders.

Coincidentally, in the vacant parking space next to Jiang Mo's Iron Toad, a huge monster suddenly appeared that night, lying crookedly in front of the Iron Toad a tree away.Jiang Mo stepped on Chenshuang with strides, he was not awake, slipped his foot, and hit the rear bumper of the black Volkswagen with a "boom", and the dull pain on the bone facing his knee rushed to the top of his head , the sharp pain made her tremble violently, and even her drowsiness almost disappeared.

"hiss--"

Jiang Mo's eyes drooped for the whole morning and then widened.She first subconsciously glanced at the foreign license plate of the Volkswagen LaVida, rubbed her knees and gestured for the height of the rear bumper, limped around the car for half a circle, then squinted her eyes and looked into the window with the anti-spy film for a while , raised his eyebrows, turned his head and yelled at the security room: "Uncle Feng! Remember to remind the owner of this car when you meet him, the tire pressure seems to be not enough, and there is no contact information on the car. It is not safe to drive a car outside the city at high speed. "

Feng Qingxiang opened the plastic-steel window again with a "crack" and waved his arms in response with a smile.Jiang Mo didn't stop, nodded slightly, wrapped his coat tightly in his pocket, and trotted around to the intersection next to the bus stop.

The doors and windows of the mobile iron car at the breakfast booth at the intersection are locked tightly, and are loosely locked to the electric pole next to it by a twisted iron rope. For the note, the originally regular fonts meandered on the paper with a few clusters of messy light-colored smudges, which almost blurred the light ink blobs that were vaguely picked out by the shaking of the brush when handwriting.

"There is something at home, I have to go abroad to deal with it, the return date is undecided, and the business is closed, I hope you will forgive me.

——Wang Dongyuan"

Jiang Mo blinked vigorously twice, barely shaking off the drowsiness that clung to the edge of his eyelids, leaned forward slightly to look at the security booth in the community, and looked at Uncle Feng vaguely watching the movement of the breakfast booth for a few seconds. Lips withdraw from sight.

When she was still in school, she overheard the old man who often took care of the business of the breakfast kiosk in the courtyard say that Wang Dongyuan, the owner of the breakfast kiosk—according to her seniority, Jiang Mo should call her Aunt Wang. She was originally from a scholarly family, but When she was still young, her parents were forced to go to the countryside, and the family conditions plummeted. Later, she went back to the city to study and married a clerk in the city art troupe. She was assigned to live in the family compound. The husband and wife were harmonious and her daughter was excellent. Admirable.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long.Her husband died early due to illness, and Wang Dongyuan was so sad that she took her daughter away. After retirement, because she missed the old man and had no one to accompany her, she thought about earning some odds and ends to supplement her daughter's work and study abroad. Today's art troupe community set up such a breakfast stall to pass the time.

Wang Dongyuan was not talkative, and her demeanor was a bit unexpectedly hypocritical. Jiang Mo tried to establish a familiar relationship with her as a neighbor on the premise of punching in to buy breakfast, but there was no progress in this matter.Repeated repeated attempts were almost unsuccessful, so Jiang Mo decided not to talk any more, and now he was not used to seeing the arrogant face that looked down on all sentient beings.

"Go abroad at the end of the year... go to your daughter's house abroad and wait for the New Year."

Jiang Mo stood there with his pockets in his pocket for a while, sucked his nose that was about to run clear from the cold, turned his head and glanced at the overcrowded convenience store across the road, let out a long sigh impatiently, hesitated a few steps, turned and went straight into the Back in the car, he kicked the accelerator and drove straight to the hospital.

----

When Jiang Mo rushed to Sheng'an Central Hospital in a hurry, the obstetrics office and the nurse's station in the ward were still busy with morning shifts.

Jiang Mo was wrapped in her slightly flimsy coat, and the lonely and forbidding slender stick was very abruptly poked in front of the new mother or the plump prenatal mother.It seems that she suddenly realized the real feeling of the change of autumn and winter at this moment. First, she hesitated and walked a few times in the elevator hall outside the door of the maternity ward. The district swayed back and forth, and briefly met with two important witnesses who stayed up all night in the ward and distracted themselves through the massive army of ward rounds.

On the day Yang Xiaoxiao disappeared, the two resident doctors who had witnessed Huang Xi rushing back to the hospital in the middle of the night were at the end of the rounds team, yawning one after another.The two of them saw Jiang Mo who had taken out his ID to reveal his identity, and he pulled his eyes that had been busy all night, and reluctantly cleaned up the drowsiness that was about to slump to the ground. They nodded in greeting and heard a sharp voice when the words came to their lips. The sound of the equipment alarm mixed with the vague and trembling shouts of the family members poured out of the single room of the ward not far away.

The man's face was pale and his feet were soft. When he rushed out of the ward, he knelt on the ground, instantly attracting the attention of the entire corridor.

"Doctor! Doctor, why is my daughter-in-law convulsing?! The doctor's instrument——"

The man was so flustered that he couldn't speak, he stumbled and threw the most direct words to describe the symptoms to the obstetric director who was helping him nearby, and dragged him into the ward.

There was an uproar in the drowsy ward round team in the early morning, and the head nurse rushed out from the nurse's station and shouted: "Huang Xi who is in charge of the single room—tsk, who is in charge of the temporary bed! Gao Yang!"

"Damn—don't be pregnant women with pregnancy-induced hypertensive cramps—"

Jiang Mo was a little caught off guard by the urgency that suddenly transpired in the entire ward. In a blink of an eye, Dr. Gao, who was still dozing off in front of her just now, followed the director to the front line. , Wholeheartedly put Officer Jiang aside.

Jiang Mo was stunned for a moment in the middle of the corridor of the ward in such a grand manner. When he came back to his senses, he sighed repressedly, and withdrew his solemn eyes dully, but on the way, he bumped into a gaze that seemed to be concerned for a long time——that person She was also dressed in the uniform of the head nurse, with a little yellow duck and little rabbit hairpin pinned to the nurse's cap, half of her face was covered under the mask, and she handed the medical record folder to the nurse's station neatly, but her gaze was always on Jiang Mo. His eyes blinked flickeringly for a long time.

Facing the head nurse's persistent and surprised gaze, Jiang Mo subconsciously took a few steps back, half leaning on the countertop at the other side of the nurse's station, recalling the familiarity for a while, and raised his brows as if not too sure. , and glanced at the name card on her chest across the long countertop: "Gao Ling, head neonatal intensive care nurse".

Jiang Mo was startled, blinked his eyes in disbelief, frowned and asked tentatively, "Are you... Aunt Ling?"

Before the voice of Jiang Mo's inquiry fell to the ground, Gao Ling had already pulled off his mask excitedly, and nimbly sprinted to Jiang Mo's side. With all his strength, he slapped her on the back and looked back and forth for a long time. : "Xiaomo! It's really you! Oh my god... How many years haven't I seen this?"

----

In fact, Jiang Mo's direct impression of Gao Ling had been sealed in the years when he didn't remember anything.

Gao Ling and Jiang Mo may have only met each other a few times, but she and Jiang Mo's mother, Jiang He, were friends who wore the same pants. The two had been friends since childhood and had accompanied each other in the dance class and art troupe for more than ten years. , even though Gao Ling later returned to ordinary study life due to his weak talent, he never became alienated from Jiang He - until the two had their own families and careers at a good age, but suffered emotional setbacks one after another, and both of them were in a hurry. They ran away from their marriage miserably, and finally had to wave goodbye in order to take care of their children. After nearly 20 years, they reunited and said goodbye at the farewell ceremony of the enlightenment teacher who passed away due to illness.Jiang Mo just heard Jiang He show off this matter a while ago.But at that time, Jiang He was temporarily returning to China during the tour, and Jiang Mo was involved in the case and was confused in the team. The mother and daughter met in a hurry and did not talk in depth-Jiang Mo had no idea about those people who had passed by her in her not-so-carefree childhood. Most of the people had only a vague impression. They only glanced roughly and hastily at the pile of selfies and group photos that Jiang He Dingling threw to her. They responded with a few words, and then said these irrelevant words. Put it aside casually.

He didn't expect that he would unexpectedly meet Gao Ling in the middle of the interview to collect evidence.

The atmosphere in the maternity ward is like walking on eggshells.

Gao Ling probably knew the aftermath of panic that the rescue of convulsions in pregnancy-induced hypertension would bring to the entire ward, so he pulled the slightly at a loss Jiang Mo out of the ward without hesitation.She sat on the bench, took a sip of the hot coffee bought for her by the little policeman, glanced at Jiang Mo's hand who was about to press the ice cola button on the vending machine, frowned, and laughed: "It's so cold...you are just like your mother. You have the same long hands and feet, the same appearance, and the same little problem. The last time I met Jiang He, it didn't matter what the weather was, I insisted on drinking cold."

Jiang Mo was slightly taken aback.There are almost no female elders around her on weekdays. After Jiang He remarried, she has stayed abroad all year round. In the police force, there is only such a master who cares about his health, and he is an old bachelor whose life is better than her.At the first glance, Jiang Mo was a little panicked when he heard the almost urging tone, and his finger hanging above the button moved a few times in confusion. After all, it was replaced by a can of hot drink, and he picked it up from the delivery port and covered it The palm swung back to Gao Ling's side again.

"You were shocked when you saw the battle just now in the ward? Didn't you expect it to be so dangerous in the maternity ward?" Gao Ling held Jiang Mo's arm and squeezed it twice, as if watching Jiang Mo grow up, with a tone of voice Friendly and familiar, "Although you policemen have seen those scenes where your life is at stake, it's definitely different from the hospital."

Gao Ling sighed talking to himself: "If you want me to tell you, I really have to talk to the old director, is there something wrong with Feng Shui in the obstetrics department recently? First, Dr. Huang was arrested, and there has been no calm in the ward for the past few days... Last night, there was a woman who went from prenatal depression to postpartum holding a baby and was about to jump off the building. He tried to persuade the mother to come down, but the little girl was frozen by the wind on the roof. It was so cold last night! She just fell down. He fell to the roof and fell to the ground, smashing the child under his body... The child is still in the neonatal intensive care unit with a tube inserted - the mother is crying to the point of death... I haven't seen any goddamn family members Come and take a look with me. Gao Yang stared at him all night last night. When I met him in the cafeteria this morning, I heard that the police were coming for questioning. Who else was I thinking about?"

Jiang Mo didn't want to make a fuss at first, but when he heard Gao Ling go round and round to bring the topic back, he inadvertently choked: "Gao Yang?"

"It used to be Zhao Yang. After the divorce, he insisted on my surname, so I took him to change it." Gao Ling looked at Yingnian's early departure very freely, waved his hands and continued: "You two don't remember anything. I met him once when I was a child, so I probably didn’t remember it at all. Thanks to his successful employment in the Central Hospital, I was not here when I was helping him study medicine, and private hospitals earn more. Now I don’t have to serve that monkey boy, and I can do it too. I just want to stay where I want to stay. My old classmates and colleagues are all here, busy and comfortable. Didn’t I just run into you by chance? Jiang He even showed me on WeChat that you were participating in the police academy What about a photo from a game, a side profile captured, it's blurry... If it wasn't for your resemblance to Jiang He, I wouldn't have dared to recognize it casually."

Jiang Mo silently echoed with a smile, "Mainly I'm a criminal investigation officer, so I only have a few ID photos in police uniform."

"... Tsk, it would be nice if I could meet you sooner, but unfortunately, Gao Yang, the son of a monkey, has been talking to him for several years." Gao Ling was speechless for a while, making Jiang Mo choke again, and smiled happily on her back Shang Mosuo: "It takes time to rescue convulsions due to pregnancy-induced hypertension. Gao Yang and the others probably won't be able to get back in a while, so you're just wasting it here?"

"I'm here this time mainly to conduct a simple interview with my colleagues in the same department about Dr. Huang. Besides Dr. Gao, there are other people who need routine interviews." The case is professional, and Jiang Mo can finally Breaking out of the passiveness of talking with the elders, she cleared her throat a little, looked in the direction of the nurse's station, lowered her voice and turned to the customer: "... I don't think the nurse's station is full? Aunt Ling, are you familiar with Qi Shengnan and Wang Fu? "

"I must be familiar with it. Newborn care and obstetrics are too much to deal with. Let me think about it..." Gao Ling seemed to be in high spirits again, and said seriously with his arms in his hands: "Qi Shengnan usually has more day shifts and outpatient clinics." , The work at the guidance desk is not easy, you have to deal with all the pregnant women and their families, it's tiring, the little girl is a contract worker, she's a bully and has no temper, so their head nurse always arranges her to help in the outpatient clinic."

Jiang Mo blinked when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered the little nurse he met in the outpatient clinic before meeting Huang Xi, interjected a little puzzled, and gestured: "It's the outpatient clinic that wears a guide ribbon and has short hair around the ears. The little girl with round eyes? When I checked the department files, why did I only have the name but no photo?"

"They are contract workers. They are the same in both public and private hospitals, and the pay is not much better than the temporary salary. They are recruited by human resources agencies, and the management is so-so." Gao Ling shrugged indifferently, "Wang Fu is the official establishment, but it's not me and you. Guess what, she is really not as good as that little girl Qi Shengnan. Wang Fu mostly followed the labor process. This morning, she had a caesarean section for a heart attack. I was the one who took the baby back to the NICU. This girl is now There is no one around, maybe he went somewhere to laze around again——"

Gao Ling poked his head while speaking, and just took a look at the corridor of the ward, then straightened up, patted Jiang Mo's arm and pointed to her: "Hey! Didn't you just come back from the stairwell... pinch it After get off work, this is—”

It was also a coincidence that Jiang Mo would turn his head and see a half-figure swaying from the stairwell, and the black cat sheriff on her phone suddenly rang in tune with the four little swans on Gao Ling's phone.Head Nurse Gao's voice of "rigorous analysis" froze, and she burst into laughter with eyebrows and eyes crooked.She pinched Jiang Mo's tense face, said hello, then stood up and rushed upstairs.Jiang Mo watched her get into the elevator first, then took out his phone a few seconds later, and lowered his head to glance at the caller ID.

Zhao Juan.

Jiang Mo frowned, and immediately put down the coffee can in his hand.She got up and leaned against the door of the ward, watched Wang Fu's action route through the long corridor, and answered the phone as slowly as possible: "Hello? Aunt Zhao? What's the matter? What's going on at home?"

Zhao Juan seemed at a loss for Jiang Mo's thoughtful concern, so she paused for a moment before whispering softly: "Well...it's nothing, but I may have to go to the hospital for dialysis tomorrow to get medicine, so I want to ask you in advance... Didn't you say that there are other young comrades near my house? Can I go out normally? Will it cause trouble for them?"

Jiang Mo saw Wang Fu sneak into the dispensing room with his pockets in his hands, his expression sank slightly, and he tapped the edge of the phone lightly with his index finger, "It's okay, when will I go out tomorrow? I'll go with you."

"Don't bother you, Police Officer Jiang." Zhao Juan smiled angrily, "Xiao Shao called me last night and asked how I was doing, so I mentioned it to him, and he said that he just went to the hospital tomorrow. Do physical therapy, and accompany me along the way."

"Who?" Jiang Mo felt a little surprised, coughed lightly, watched Wang Fu wander back from the dispensing room to the lounge, and then stumbled and said, "—Xiao Shao... Shao Jie?"

Jiang Mo's sudden rhetorical question immediately touched the oversensitive thread in Zhao Juan's mind.She was a little nervous, her voice was trembling, and she choked up and asked quickly, "Yeah. What's the matter, Police Officer Jiang? Can't you let him follow? Then will he be in any danger if he finds out?"

Jiang Mo was caught off guard by her crying at first, and it took a long time before he spurned himself as if enlightened - for Zhao Juan who had completely lost her backbone, her momentary hesitation seemed to be a matter of life and death.However, Jiang Mo was actually only slightly skeptical of Shao Jie's small body that could run away in a strong wind. Obviously, this was really not a hidden danger.

Jiang Mo scratched the back of his head dejectedly. While paying attention to Wang Fu, who was already carrying a large backpack and getting ready to get off work, he took a few steps towards the corridor of the ward. He held up his mobile phone to search for his documents, and hurriedly ate a bite for Zhao Juan. Reassuring pill: "Shao Jie——he is very clever, just pay attention to safety, and call anytime if you have any questions...Anyway, he also has my contact information."

Jiang Mo gave a few gentle instructions, and when she hung up the phone, she happened to pull out the police officer's ID card stuck on the edge of her trouser pocket, but she slipped her hand and couldn't hold it firmly, and with a "click", the shining police officer's ID card was just like that. It fell firmly at Wang Fu's feet.

Wang Fu didn't see clearly the object that fell in front of her. She squatted down halfway to help pick it up, and then she caught sight of the police badge——Wang Fu's movements suddenly stopped, and her breathing seemed to stop for a moment. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang. Mo, his eyes were bloodshot, almost at the same time Jiang Mo picked up the ID card and was about to declare his family name, he stood up abruptly, and grabbed a full-term woman who was following the doctor's order to move in the corridor. , pushed her to Jiang Mo with all her strength, let go and turned around and rushed to the stairwell.

Jiang Mo was caught off guard, and his scalp was about to explode.She first wanted to support the pregnant woman, but suddenly she was unable to do so. In the blink of an eye, she had to take advantage of the situation and lay under the pregnant woman who swayed and fell to the ground, her arms and legs were almost torn apart.

"Gudong!"

"Ouch……"

The ward, which was finally safe for a while, suddenly became a mess in panic.

Jiang Mo crawled out of the pile of medical staff who were busy checking the condition of the pregnant woman, and slumped on the ground for a long time.She rubbed the back of her dizzy head, the fall was so heavy that she couldn't stand up, so she raised her eyelids and glanced at the security guard of the inpatient department who rushed over after hearing the sound, but was stupid on the spot: "Brothers, help me take a look." Where did she go? Call the police."

One of the two security guards poked at the door of the ward, and the other stood outside the stairwell and looked around. Hearing Jiang Mo's shout, they stared at each other for a while, then turned their heads and questioned the unknown face in the corner of the corridor: "That just now... seems to be the nurse in our ward? No... who are you?"

Jiang Mo's throat was sweet, and a mouthful of old blood was about to be vomited out of anger.She braced herself against the marble floor and stood up, the police officer's ID was almost pasted in front of the little security guard's eyes.

"It's not guilty, she didn't do anything wrong, why did she see the police running? You chase me, and the other one, call the police!"
