Wen Liangsheng was taken aback by his words, but on second thought, he really hadn't encountered anything strange last night, had he?
So he said, "Actually, I didn't hand him the medical record. Last night, when I went to Ward Two and found the patient with Walking Corpse Syndrome, he was asleep. He ignored me completely, just like a corpse... he didn't speak or move. Nothing I did in the room got any reaction from him."
"And then?" Qin Manjiang asked. "Did Nurse Liu come around to check the rooms?"
"She did... so she just told me to keep watch overnight, then left. I put the medical record on the table with a water glass weighing it down and never touched it. It was still there under the glass when I left the room just now."
Wen Liangsheng gave a detailed account.
Qin Manjiang and the other two exchanged glances, all finding it strange.
"I think... my patient wasn't the only one desperate to get his medical record, right?" Qin Manjiang asked.
Sure enough, Xinxin and Jian Cunxin nodded.
In that case, the patient with Walking Corpse Syndrome seemed to be the only patient so far who hadn't shown any need for his medical record.
That made Qin Manjiang very interested in him.
The abnormal within the ordinary and the ordinary within the abnormal were both openings, because they represented singularities within an otherwise self-consistent logic.
The patient with Walking Corpse Syndrome seemed to be that singularity.
"Come on, let's get the medicine first. Once we've got it, we'll follow that nurse's instructions and have them take it before we come back out to meet up."
Qin Manjiang said.
But Xinxin asked, "What about Wards One and Six?"
Right...
Li Daiping had been responsible for Ward One, and Chen Zhiyuan
