Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 174: Setting a Trap for the "Baby"

In modern times, Western medicine has been called "scientific medicine" because of its diagnostic and treatment techniques, especially the remarkable therapeutic effects of surgical treatments, which are different from the experience of traditional medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has been doubted and denied.

During the Republic of China period, the medical system was basically modeled after that of the West. Traditional Chinese medicine was denounced as "backward and unscientific", and the medical foundations of Chinese medicine such as Yin and Yang and the Five Elements were said to be "pseudoscience and metaphysics", and the dispute to abolish Chinese medicine began.

It was also from the Republic of China period that Chinese medicine gradually lost its mainstream status in the medical community at the time, evolving into a situation where "Western medicine was in power and Chinese medicine was in opposition."

Someone once wrote in his youth: Chinese and Western medicine each have their own strengths. Chinese medicine talks about qi and pulse, while Western medicine talks about experiment. However, those who talk about qi and pulse are too subtle and difficult for ordinary people to understand, so they often miss the point. Those who talk about experiment only seek the essence and leave the qi, so they often miss the essence. So the two have their own biases.

When New China was first established, traditional Chinese medicine was also in danger. The "Provisional Regulations on Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners" and "Traditional Chinese Medicine Examination Measures" promulgated by the health system at that time were too harsh and unrealistic. The examination content was mostly Western medicine, which led to the elimination of most traditional Chinese medicine doctors.

Four years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were only 14,000 registered and qualified traditional Chinese medicine doctors in 92 large and medium-sized cities and 165 counties across the country. Medical colleges and universities did not consider setting up courses in traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine, and the production and sales of Chinese herbal medicine were unmanaged.

If the higher-ups had not discovered this problem in time and required at meetings that cadres at all levels change their mindsets and have a correct understanding of Chinese and Western medicine, Chinese medicine might have disappeared long ago.

Li Yancheng clearly remembered that although the original owner's grandfather was not a Chinese medicine doctor, he felt regretful every time he mentioned this.

Since his soul traveled through time, he has inherited the acupuncture tradition. Sometimes he thinks that he should do something for Chinese medicine, but he is powerless and it is really difficult to do anything he wants in this era.

After receiving this Chinese medicine book from Sun Nanping today, he finally knew what he should do for Chinese medicine.

Do your best to preserve as many rare and valuable copies of traditional Chinese medicine as possible, and then release them after the reform and opening up in the future.

As for where to find it, it’s simple. I’ll go back and say hello to Zhu Yongyang and ask him to help keep an eye out for news in this regard.

"Doctor Li, what kind of poison did Pan Youzhi get? Why did he vomit all black blood?"

"I can't say for sure. I can only wait for the test results from the Criminal Investigation Department."

"If you were there at the time, could you have saved him?"

Sun Nanping knew that Li Yancheng had saved the poisoned suspect Zhu Yongxiang from death in the backyard, and that guy had also vomited black blood at that time.

"It's hard to say." Li Yancheng curled his lips and shook his head. God knows what kind of poison he was poisoned with, but that guy could endure it for so long, so the poison should not be extremely strong.

"I can only say that if I had stayed with him, there would have been hope that I could have saved him."

The two of them chatted idly, their attention basically focused on the messy things piled on the table.

After a while, Sun Nanping put down a notebook in his hand and asked in confusion, "Doctor Li, have you discovered anything?"

"What?" Li Yancheng asked without even raising his head.

"Pan Youzhi doesn't have a penny in these things."

"That's easy, the murderer looted them all.

According to Lin Meichun's account, Pan Youzhi placed a heavy wooden box at her place. As you all know, the wooden box has turned into firewood and all the contents inside have been cleared out.

I suspect that what is inside is Pan Youzhi’s property and some important things.”

"Doctor Li, is it possible that Pan Youzhi has also placed a box somewhere else? For a person like him, it is normal to have three burrows, right?"

Hearing this, Li Yancheng put down what he was holding and looked up: "Did you find anything?"

"This notebook." Sun Nanping picked up the notebook he had just put down and had not closed it, and gestured.

"There are two accounts in this book, from November last year. They are for electricity and water. But does he need to pay separately since he lives in the company?"

Electricity and water bills?
Li Yancheng's eyes lit up, he stood up and leaned over to look at the notebook in Sun Nanping's hand.

This is an A32-inch math homework book for an elementary school student. It is already full of content from the ideological and political class. Not to mention, Pan Youzhi's handwriting with a fountain pen is pretty beautiful.

The water and electricity bills that Sun Nanping mentioned were written on the back of one of the papers, and it looked like it was written casually, and the font looked the same as the others.

In November of the 19th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the water fee was 8 cents and the electricity fee was 21 cents.

It's just a simple line, but it contains a lot of information.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Beijing, as a political center, saw rapid development of various construction projects, which greatly increased water consumption. The city's water resources were already insufficient, and the tap water supply began to become tight, especially during the summer peak. Therefore, the government at that time encouraged residents to save water.

Until the 16th year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, water supply was public welfare, with basically no water charges, let alone water prices.

In the 16th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the water conservancy department proposed interim measures for the collection and management of water fees. Due to various reasons, the specific water price was not formulated. It was finally decided to collect it on a per capita basis. In principle, each person paid 0.1 cents in water fees per month, which was collected by the street office.

But in reality, it is very difficult to collect the water fee. If it is collected per person, how do we calculate for newborn babies?
Therefore, the collection of water charges this time was not on the right track at all.

It was not until after 1980 that water prices were actually set.

The Meishandong Hutong where Li Yancheng lives now charges a fee on a household basis. If there are more than three people in the family, the fee is 10 cents per month, and if there are less than three people in the family, the fee is 5 cents per month. Basically everyone pays happily.

The electricity bill is simple. It has long been divided into different households and charged by meters. You pay according to how much you use each month. The price for a kilowatt-hour is 1.65 cents. Everyone shares the cost of public electricity.

For example, the water and electricity bills recorded in this notebook, it is not clear how the water bill is calculated, but the electricity bill is 21 cents, which is less than two kWh of electricity. It is very likely that only one kWh of electricity was used, and the rest was shared by public electricity users. It is impossible for a normal person to use only this much in a month.

That is to say, the house should be almost uninhabited.

How is it possible that there are uninhabited houses now?

Somehow or other, a man named Pan got himself a house. He also had a very legitimate reason to leave the house empty and only visit it occasionally.

Thinking of this, Li Yancheng withdrew his gaze from the notebook and raised his head. Coincidentally, Sun Nanping was also looking at him, and there was a flash of excitement in both of their eyes.

But a new problem also arises.

"Doctor Li, we don't know where this house is. Beijing is not big, nor is it small. We can't search the whole place, right?"

"If it doesn't work, there's nothing else to do except to read it again."

Li Yancheng shook his head. Apart from this stupid method...

Ok?
The scene of him taking Jin Zhihai to report to Lao Xu on Saturday night suddenly flashed through his mind.

At that time, Lao Xu stood in front of the map of Beijing and marked the places where the suspect had appeared one by one. It showed that the suspect's traces had been found in all the eight districts of the city except Dianhai and Wenchong.

Now Dianhai is also going to be removed because the suspect works there, so what about Wen Chong?
Why didn't Pan Youzhi show up in Wenchong? Did he avoid that place on purpose? Was he worried that someone there would recognize him?
When people do bad things and don't want to be recognized by acquaintances, they will subconsciously avoid places that they think they are familiar with.

Never mind. If we want to find this possible house, we will probably need to mobilize a large force. So let’s report it and let them go from Wen Chong’s side first. Maybe we can catch a big fish.

"Doctor Li, please go report to Director Su first. I will continue to take a look."

"Go, Nanping. Tell Chief Su to send someone to start the investigation from Wen Chong. Take Pan Youzhi's photo to the neighborhood committees and let the elderly identify him."

"Start with Wen Chong? Okay!" Sun Nanping didn't refuse anymore. He nodded, picked up the notebook and walked out of the evidence room.

Li Yancheng breathed a sigh of relief. It would be annoying if he couldn't find any clues after checking such a huge pile of junk. Whether the water and electricity bill was useful or not, it always brought a little hope.

Su Xiaotong acted quickly. After listening to Sun Nanping's report, he immediately asked the captain of the second team to take all the members of the second team who were temporarily free to set off.

He also instructed the captain of the second team to split his troops into two groups, with one group starting from the east district and the other starting from the Wenchong district.

Wen Chong is the focus, but the drama on the east side of the city must also be done well.

Time is short and the task is heavy. They are already two steps behind the murderer, and they must not fall behind again this time.

This is also their only advantage at the moment.

As long as the murderer is not from their group, no matter who it is, they dare not mobilize manpower to investigate this matter. They can only hide in a corner like a mouse and do it secretly. The middle-aged man is really very excited now. He didn't expect that Pan Youzhi, who rarely goes out, actually played the trick of hiding in three burrows.

The reason why he knew that Pan Youzhi had other places to hide things was because he found that the property he looted last night was far from what he gave away.

He didn't care about the amount of property, he cared more about where the rest was and whether there was any information about him there.

The middle-aged man felt a little regretful at this time. He regretted killing Pan Youzhi without asking any questions.

In an instant, he threw the regret out of his head. This was not a game of house, and he didn't have a particularly suitable place to lock up Pan Youzhi and then interrogate him slowly. Besides, if he hadn't acted earlier, he might be the one dead now.

The key question now is where the remaining property is.

The middle-aged man paced back and forth in the office in a somewhat irritable manner, constantly recalling what the guy had said every time he met Pan Youzhi.

After a while, he gave up in despair. It was useless to think about it. Since that guy had deliberately divided out some of his belongings and hid them separately, he was trying to guard against him and would definitely not expose them in front of him.

What should he do next? He doesn't have much time left.

In fact, Li Yancheng's guess at that time in the early morning was correct. When they entered the small courtyard, the middle-aged man had indeed not walked far. He heard the noise just before them.

While he was busy in the small courtyard, he rushed to Lin Meichun's house.

He was not worried about whether this woman would know anything, because he knew very well that Pan Youzhi would not dare to reveal any information to anyone.

His only worry was that Pan Youzhi would leave something behind somewhere.

It was still too reckless!

He kept reflecting on what he had done in the past six months. It seemed that because things had gone too smoothly before and he was a little proud, he made a lot of stupid moves during this period.

Ok?
He suddenly thought of a question, that is, did the consignee arranged before go on a business trip to Xu City?

This incident made Pan Youzhi suspicious, and he was no longer as confident as before about his original arrangements.

He had been planning for such a long time, drawing everyone's attention to the instrument factory, just to make them believe that his mission was to cause sabotage there, to destroy their "Star" project.

But in fact, his plan was to use those fake things to completely disrupt the market.

But if that batch of goods cannot be shipped, then what’s the point.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man stopped, stood there thinking for a while, then turned and walked towards the office door.

He planned to go out and see if the logistics team's liaison officer had left a secret signal to show he was safe.

This was a strict order he gave to the liaison officer, that he must leave a secret code at the designated location every day. Yesterday, because he was in a meeting during the day and was thinking about getting rid of Pan Youzhi at night, he didn't go to check.

The middle-aged man walked out of the office and shook his head with some self-blame. He had lived a peaceful life for too many days. How could he not do such an important job on time?

The place he designated for the contact person to leave the secret code was not far from the unit, just in front of a restaurant diagonally across the street.

There is a small blackboard hanging on the wall at the entrance of this restaurant every day. The hotel staff will write down on it what dishes can be cooked that day. Some dishes are not available every day.

Just like peanuts, it’s good to have them three or four days a month, and they are limited.

There is a department store next to the restaurant. The middle-aged man came over and walked straight into the store, bought a pack of cigarettes, opened the package as he walked, and soon walked into the unit compound diagonally across the street.

The middle-aged man, who seemed to be normal, was actually in turmoil inside.

Sure enough, something happened.

The mark he and the liaison officer agreed upon on the small blackboard was still there, but he knew with just a glance that the mark was not drawn by the liaison officer at all.

Because the contact person he found was left-handed, a relatively rare left-handed person who even wrote with his left hand. Whether he was writing or drawing, the order of his strokes was completely different from that of normal people and was the opposite.

The symbol of peace that he had just seen was obviously drawn by a right-handed person.

The plan failed, everything failed.

He couldn't figure out what went wrong, but now was not the time to think about it. Leaving Beijing was the only thing he could do.

He didn't dare to bet whether the people there could find Pan Youzhi's house, which he didn't know whether it existed or not, and he didn't dare to bet whether there was any information about him left there.

You only have one life, if you lose it, you lose everything.

Although the plan failed, as long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood.

……

At the same time, Lao Xu and team leader Zeng Honglin appeared in the office of Deputy Director Zhong of the bureau.

Since early morning, Su Xiaotong and Li Yancheng have been working on the Pan Youzhi case, and they certainly cannot stop on the task assigned by Director Zhong.

Lao Xu and Zeng Honglin are busy with this.

This morning, when Su Xiaotong and Li Yancheng were temporarily free, the four of them had a brief chat.

Then Lao Xu and Zeng Honglin listed all the known and hypothesized conditions in the office, circled them, and discovered something remarkable.

Although some of the conditions in the circle they drew were guesses, they were all well-founded guesses, but the two people in the circle...

To be honest, even though Director Zhong said that they would investigate anyone involved, Lao Xu was still scared. So, seeing that Su Xiaotong and Li Yancheng were busy with their own things, he dragged Zeng Honglin to Director Zhong to report.

Director Zhong listened to Lao Xu's story very carefully. He agreed with the circle they drew, but when he saw the two names written on the paper, he felt a headache.

Li Xueyi, Hong Dingguo.

Lighting a cigarette for himself, he leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and recalled carefully.

He recalled the days when he worked with the two men.

Recalling the past performances of these two people.

Seeing their leader like this, Lao Xu and Zeng Honglin didn't dare to say anything else. They just quietly lit a cigarette and sat there waiting quietly.

Only after he finished smoking the cigarette did Director Zhong open his eyes, extinguish the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then stand up and say, "You guys sit down first, I'll go and invite Director Shen over."

This was a serious matter and he was really a little scared. How straightforward he was when he assigned the task that day, how quick he was to back down today.

The main reason is that the influence of these two people is too great, and any single move can affect the entire body.

Director Shen came over very quickly, and after listening to the explanation, he made the decision very quickly. No matter who was involved, he would investigate it thoroughly, but the evidence must be solid and able to withstand scrutiny and questioning.

The speculations they are coming up with now in order to draw a circle are definitely not enough. If they report this to their superiors in the future, they will be scolded to death, and they will not be able to explain to their comrades below.

"Old Zhong, Comrade Guishan, don't think of using that young doctor's special interrogation method to find clues and evidence. I will not approve of this method.

Although I agree to investigate thoroughly, I will not agree to take action against these two comrades based on speculation alone without sufficient evidence.

Think about it, if I ordered now to use that special interrogation method to make sure you are all right first, how would you feel, and how would the comrades on the front line feel? "

Director Shen is an old political worker. Although he has no experience in investigating cases, he is quite effective in ideological and political work.

Worried about what they might be up to, he added a clear red line in the investigation.
