Chapter 309: 309

During this time, Xiao Lou had experienced several Hearts secret rooms, encountered many murderers and a.s.sisted Yu Hanjiang in interrogating prisoners . He wasn’t afraid of facing murderers directly but Zhao Sen gave him a completely different feeling .

The other murderers were far less perverted than Zhao Sen . Xiao Lou once saw how Zhao Sen chopped up his cousin’s corpse in the plot card and placed the pieces in the suitcase . The scene had left a serious psychological shadow on Xiao Lou’s mind . Now facing this man’s smile, Xiao Lou felt it really difficult to remain calm . He felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake…

Yu Hanjiang noticed Xiao Lou’s reaction and immediately calmed him down . “Xiao Lou, calm down . Even if Zhao Sen is abnormal, he won’t kill in front of so many doctors and nurses . Besides, we know he is a murderer but he doesn’t know we are challengers . ”

All challengers who pa.s.sed 2 of Hearts perfectly would get the Rose Funeral plot card and witness the b.l.o.o.d.y process of Zhao Sen killing . The challengers saw it from a G.o.d’s perspective and never met Zhao Sen, so Zhao Sen didn’t know them . He wouldn’t immediately raise the knife against Xiao Lou .

Xiao Lou thought up to here and gently clenched his fists by his side . He looked at Zhao Sen and tried to be as calm as possible . “Shao Qingge is my friend . I heard he was in the cardiac surgery ICU and came to take a look . Dr Zhao, how is he doing now?”

Zhao Sen sighed lightly . He took a medical record and handed it to Xiao Lou . “The patient’s CK-MB has increased significantly and he has hypokalemia . I’ve already ordered to supplement the pota.s.sium ions to restore the water and electrolytes balance . Then I will wait for the myocardial enzyme levels to be normal before considering stent implantation . ” He paused before saying, “Generally, it takes three to five days for myocardial enzymes to recover . During this period, I will keep him in the ICU ward and closely observe his vital signs . ”

Three to five days? Xiao Lou’s heart jumped when he heard it . Zhao Sen might be a murderer but his professional level as a cardiac surgeon wasn’t bad . Shao Qingge’s treatment was in accordance with conventional treatment procedures . Zhao Sen and Shao Qingge had never met so he shouldn’t be hostile to Chief Shao inexplicably .

However, Xiao Lou didn’t feel relieved at all thinking that the unconscious Chief Shao would be under Zhao Sen’s hands for the next three to five days . Xiao Lou took a deep breath, bit the bullet and suggested, “Shao Qingge is my friend . Can you transfer him to the ICU ward of our general surgery? I can take good care of him . ”

Zhao Sen smiled and refused . “For the patient, it is better to leave him in the ICU of our cardiac surgery . Our department has a lot of experience in handling patients with myocardial infarction . Besides, I am his attending doctor . It makes no sense to transfer him to general surgery . ”

Xiao Lou still wanted to persuade him when Zhao Sen sneered . “Dr Xiao, don’t you believe in my level?”

“…Of course . ” Xiao Lou saw that the other person’s att.i.tude was resolute and had to give up on the idea of transferring Shao Qingge . He asked for the next best thing . “Can I go see him?”

“Yes . ” Zhao Sen nodded . “It currently isn’t visiting time but Dr Xiao is the chief resident of the general surgery department . Just tell the nurses station and remember to wear the isolation clothing when entering the ICU . ”

Xiao Lou went to the head nurse to explain his intentions . Then he followed Zhao Sen to the ICU ward and put on the isolation gowns and masks as required . Zhao Sen took out his staff card and opened the door of the ICU unit .

The ICU ward for cardiac surgery was very large and only contained three patients . In bed 1 was an old lady over 70 years old . She was unconscious and looked to be in critical condition . She was intubated and connected to a ventilator . Her heart rate curve and blood pressure data were very stable .

Bed 2 had a young man in his 30s . He had his eyes open and was conscious . He saw Dr Zhao Sen and greeted him . “Dr Zhao . ”

Zhao Sen walked over . “Don’t worry, you are recovering well . I’ve arranged for you to have surgery tomorrow . ”

The patient in bed 2 looked grateful . “Thank you Dr Zhao!”

Xiao Lou glanced at him and the patient gave a friendly smile . Xiao Lou took note of his name and information before following Zhao Sen to bed 3 .

Shao Qingge was in bed 3 . He was wearing an oxygen mask and his heart rate and blood pressure shown on the ECG monitor were low . A bunch of ECG monitor cords were connected to his body and a needle was stuck in the back of his hand as he received an infusion .

The man who was usually smiling was lying unconscious on a hospital bed with a pale face . If someone tried to do something against him he wouldn’t have any ability to resist . The more Xiao Lou looked, the more pained he felt and he didn’t know what to say .

Zhao Sen stood next to him and spoke casually, “It’s already very dark . Dr Xiao, go back to rest first . Once he regains consciousness, I will tell you . The general surgery department is very close . If you don’t feel at ease, you can come and see him again tomorrow morning . ”

Yu Hanjiang looked at him . “Are you okay? Come and drink some water . ”

Yu Hanjiang had rich experience with dealing with such perverted murderers . If it was Yu Hanjiang, he would be able to talk to Zhao Sen with a calm expression for several hours .

Still, Xiao Lou wasn’t a police officer after all . Considering this, faced with such perversion, Xiao Lou controlled his emotions very well . He came over, took the water handed by Yu Hanjiang and after a few sips, managed to calm down his emotions completely .

Yu Hanjiang spoke softly . “You have been busy for nearly 30 hours . Now you should sleep and get a good rest . ”

If it wasn’t for Yu Hanjiang’s reminder, Xiao Lou would have forgotten to sleep .

Yu Hanjiang looked around the room and pointed to a s.p.a.cious sofa next to him . “Just sleep here . The sofa can be used as a temporary bed . I am next to you so don’t worry . Have a good night’s sleep before you continue to be so busy . Otherwise, your body won’t be able to bear it . ”

Xiao Lou had a headache and rubbed his temples . “You are the patient and I am the doctor . How can I make you guard me?”

Yu Hanjiang’s eyes were gentle . “Don’t mind these things . ”

“Actually, I can still hold on…”

Yu Hanjiang cut him off . “I am connected with you and I know how tired you are . Don’t act strong and rest well to be able to deal with what comes next . ”

Xiao Lou had rescued Yu Hanjiang in a thrilling manner last night and hadn’t closed his eyes all night . Today, he didn’t rest and ran to several departments in a row to find his teammates . Just now, he had gone to the cardiac surgery ICU to find Shao Qingge… the exhaustion in his body was like a rising tide that surged and screamed wildly in his mind . His eyelids fought all the time, urging him to rest as soon as possible .

However, he was worried about Shao Qingge . Chief Shao was still in the ICU ward under the care of a murderer . How could Xiao Lou sleep?

Yu Hanjiang was aware of his concerns and a.n.a.lyzed it . “You just went to visit and showed that you are a good friend of Shao Qingge . If something happens to Shao Qingge then you will definitely pursue it to the end . Therefore, as long as Zhao Sen has the slightest intelligence, he won’t do anything against Chief Shao that would arouse your suspicion . Don’t forget, he might be mentally abnormal but he is extremely meticulous . ”

Recall the original 2 of Hearts case . Zhao Sen first sent a message to his wife that he would go attend a medical conference . He bought a ticket and sent a text message to his wife at the hotel to produce a sufficient alibi . Then he returned suddenly, killed his wife and cousin, dealt with the scene, framed his cousin and took away his cousin’s body…

He wasn’t just a perverted murderer but one with a high IQ who used rigorous methods to commit crimes . Shao Qingge had attracted Xiao Lou’s attention . Zhao Sen killing Shao Qingge now would just attract trouble for himself . Of course, these were all theoretical speculations . Who knew if Zhao Sen would do the opposite? What if he experienced a sudden psychological abnormality and chopped up Shao Qingge?”

Ye Qi continued, “After I realized that you met Zhao Sen, I asked a nurse to call Ye Qi over from the pediatric ward in the name of investigating the case . ”

Xiao Lou’s eyes lit up . “Do you want Ye Qi to listen using the bugs?”

Yu Hanjiang nodded . “Ye Qi is a 7 year old child and calling him over won’t attract suspicion . He can use the teleport card outside the window to place the monitoring equipment in the ICU ward of the cardiac surgery department . Once Zhao Sen shows any signs of abnormal behavior then you can stop it right away . ”

Group Leader Yu was truly careful . Xiao Lou sighed with relief .
