Chapter 496 - 406: Laughter Over Filial Piety! A Mother Living Five Years in a Formaldehyde House!
Under normal circumstances.
The cap, would definitely trust a doctor’s judgment without question.
But the situation now is.
A patient family’s saying the house was self-renovated.
The cap.
Is also an ordinary person, a normal person.
As long as one is a normal person.
They would certainly have their relatively fixed logic.
It’s one thing to renovate for others.
But if it’s for one’s own family, if he is the homeowner.
He might not say he’s choosing the best materials for his home, but he would certainly choose the most environmentally friendly ones.
This is being responsible for oneself.
Also being responsible for the cherished ones, for his family.
This is almost an instinctive thought for an ordinary person.
The cap firmly believes in his own thoughts.
But when Chen Mu looked up.
With a meaningful look, glanced at him.
The cap suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Could he have guessed wrong?
Would someone really remodel their own home into a shoddy rental?
That idea.
Only appeared in the cap’s mind.
The cap, as a whole.
Clearly fell into a somewhat confused state.
Chen Mu sighed with illness, and opened his mouth: "The two suspects certainly didn’t mention that they demolished everything in the house, renovated it, all for only twenty thousand yuan."
The cap: "??!!"
-
「6666!!! The suspect said he renovated for himself too, I also doubted Dr. Chen’s judgment, but after hearing this price, I believe it, this is a shoddy rental room!"
「Honestly, when I worked at a shady real estate agency, renovating such a large house would cost us thirty thousand yuan."
「Alright! It’s evident, the suspect is harsher on himself than those sub-landlords."
「I still don’t quite understand, is it just about saving that little money, the house is bought, can’t they be a bit nicer to themselves and their family?"
「People who can say things like this, really don’t understand the hardships of life."
「If you are truly poor, some common knowledge that everyone knows might feel like an intelligence tax devised by capitalists, right?"
「Even if it is an intelligence tax, could the saved cost from cheap renovation be higher than the expenses for treating leukemia?"
「Is there a possibility that people always hold onto luck, believing they are special, won’t be harmed before the worst occurs?"
「...」
-
"Inquire if the suspects and their family have been living in this house for over the past five years?"
The cap conveyed Chen Mu’s query over.
Soon.
Received a response from the suspect through the cap on the other end.
The cap: "One suspect was still in school until two years ago, since graduating he has been working, frequently working overtime, not spending much time at home."
"As for the other suspect, he drives a truck, often has jobs requiring him to be away for days, even weeks, doesn’t spend much time at home either."
Chen Mu: "..."
Though the answer.
Is logical.
Upon hearing this response.
Chen Mu’s lips still twitched slightly.
After a moment of speechlessness.
He spoke again.
Continue to ask: "And what about the patient, does she stay home often?"
The cap nodded speechlessly: "In the first two years the patient had a job, but two years ago when her son graduated from college, things changed..."
"The patient’s son cared for his mother, whose health wasn’t good to start with."
"He shared half of his monthly salary with her, and thus the patient stayed home to properly recuperate."
Chen Mu: "..."
After a silent moment.
Chen Mu managed to squeeze out: "Our suspect is quite the filial son, huh!"
-
「Hahaha!!! Redefine filial piety, it’s amusing as hell!"
「Although the outcome might not be great, the suspect’s initial intention was good, as a son caring for his mother."
「The heart is good, but the result is bad!"
「Originally, his mother wouldn’t have been so severely affected, but due to his care, she seriously absorbed formaldehyde for three years in the room!"
「The heart is good, but next time, spare such good intentions..."
「...」
-
Chen Mu sighed: "Now the reason for excessive formaldehyde inhalation is basically revealed."
"The patient herself has been staying in a formaldehyde-laced room these last three years, this is akin to chronic poisoning, lung infection and leukemia are also expected."
The cap: "..."
If he didn’t know what these two diseases represented.
Just seeing Chen Mu’s attitude now.
He probably would think these two are not serious illnesses.
Just as the cap was about to speak.
Chen Mu spoke once again: "Ask the suspects to recall if over these three to five years, the patient experienced menstrual irregularity, frequent nausea, headaches, inexplicably low energy?"
Knowing this is also a crucial part of diagnosis.
The cap earnestly relayed Chen Mu’s words to the other end.
Soon.
The cap received an answer.
Looking at Chen Mu, replied: "The patient’s family said her menstrual cycle has always been irregular, going three to four months without it is common, so they didn’t pay excessive attention to menstrual abnormalities."
Chen Mu: "What about low energy, nausea and such?"
Chen Mu: "Did they give any relevant response on that end?"
The cap nodded along and said: "They said four or five years ago, shortly after moving into the newly renovated house, such symptoms did occur for a period."
"At the time, the father and son felt it was due to high formaldehyde in the new house."
"They advised the patient to return home later and reduce staying in the newly renovated house."
"Afterward this condition lasted around two months, the patient’s situation gradually improved, leading them to believe their judgment was correct."
"Subsequently..."
"The patient has continued to live in this house till now."
The cap repeated the message from the other end.
Carefully observing Chen Mu’s seemingly.
An expression of gloom almost dripping with water.
Though now in uniform.
He still fears facing teachers and doctors.
Seeing a teacher, recalls fear from student days.
Seeing a doctor...
Reminder of the young days, a doctor in a white coat, expressionless, uttering..."
"Can’t be treated anymore, take home for hospice care."
"Start arranging the funeral, it’s time to prepare."
"Hospital beds are tight, can’t afford to keep a hopeless patient."
"Surgery is very risky, are the relatives set on proceeding?"
"Sign a risk consent form."
"Sorry, we’ve done our best..."
