Zhao Dequan's right leg was injured. Puss and blood flowed from the wound. The entire leg was blue and swollen, and was thicker than his left leg.
Jiang Xinyu pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at it for a while and said, "Doctor Zhang, how is the situation?"
Dr. Zhang straightened up, shook his head slightly, and said, "Not too optimistic."
Zhao Dequan asked nervously: "What do you mean by not being too optimistic?"
Dr. Zhang said: "The wound is infected and suppurating, and surgery must be performed as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may not be able to save your leg."
Zhao Dequan was shocked, forced a smile, and said: "It's too exaggerated..."
Dr. Zhang said seriously: "I have been a doctor for six years, and I still have some good judgment."
Jiang Xinyu knew that what Dr. Zhang said was not an exaggeration at all. With today's medical standards, thousands of people die from infection every year.
At that time, Wang Zhaoming, who was the chairman of the puppet regime, had a serious infection in his body because the bullet remained in his body for a long time and could not be removed. He had to go to Japan for treatment.
Even though the Japanese side sent the best doctors, they were still unable to save the country. This big traitor who betrayed his country and sought glory eventually died in a foreign country.
Jiang Xinyu said: "Doctor Zhang, give him an injection of penicillin first."
Doctor Zhang said in embarrassment: "But we only have sulfonamides here, and penicillin can only be obtained by going to the Army Hospital."
Zhao Dequan said with disbelief on his face: "Will the Secrecy Bureau not have penicillin? Doctor, are you kidding?"
Seeing that Zhao Dequan was a major, Doctor Zhang patiently explained: "It has always been available before, but for some unknown reason, the Military Supplies Department said it was temporarily out of stock."
"Penicillin is a war preparation material, and Yanjin is not a front line, so how can it be out of stock?" Zhao Dequan said.
Doctor Zhang spread his hands and said helplessly: "I'm not the director of military supplies, so there's no point in asking me."
Jiang Xinyu knew very well that it was not that penicillin was out of stock, but that pharmaceutical factories would soon mass-produce it. With cheaper alternatives available, the military would naturally no longer purchase expensive imported drugs.
Large hospitals must have a small amount of inventory to deal with critically ill patients.
…………
trial room.
Jiang Xinyu sat behind the desk, with a clerk taking notes beside him.
"Zhao Dequan, what did you say during the meeting with your subordinates on the night of the 4th?"
"I said...catching young men is not something people do. Anyone who doesn't have a wife, children, and children will just complain like this."
"Just because of a few complaints, will the Military Justice Department send people to arrest you?"
"Also, I said some... words of praise for the Communist Party."
"What words?"
"Captain Jiang, I have said these words several times at the Military Law Office..."
"This is the Secrecy Bureau!" Jiang Xinyu interrupted Zhao Dequan.
Zhao Dequan lowered his head and whispered: "I said at the time that the Communist Army would not do such a thing. Anyone who does such an immoral thing will lose their hair..."
The clerk couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
Jiang Xinyu glared at him, turned to Zhao Dequan and said: "You are insulting the head of state by speaking without reason. Zhao Dequan, do you want to rebel?"
Zhao Dequan stuttered and said, "I, I'm just complaining, not against anyone."
"In the Battle of Zhangjiakou, were you ever a prisoner of the Communist army?" Jiang Xinyu flipped through the file at hand.
"yes."
"What was your position at that time?"
"Search for the company commander."
"Why did the communist army let you go?"
"We prisoners were originally allowed to build trenches. Later, the National Army shelled and a large number of Communist troops died. I took advantage of the chaos and sneaked out."
"But you have no witnesses."
"Captain Jiang, to be disrespectful, you may have never been to a battlefield. Once a fight breaks out, there will be chaos everywhere. Where can I find witnesses..."
Jiang Xinyu looked at him for a while, closed the file in his hand, and said, "Finally, I have a question for you. Why did you resist the arrest when the Military Justice Department went to arrest someone?"
Zhao Dequan said bitterly: "I know it was the two Japs who reported the secret. When the people from the Military Law Office came, I wasn't resisting arrest. I wanted to kill the two Japs with one shot!"
"Who are the two devils?"
"A company commander in our battalion used to be a puppet soldier. I always called him a second devil."
The clerk sent the transcript over. Jiang Xinyu read it carefully and said, "Let him sign it."
After drawing the pledge, Zhao Dequan said: "Captain Jiang, when will you take me to the hospital?"
"I can't make the decision. I need to ask the superiors for instructions." Jiang Xinyu stood up and left the interrogation room.
…………
Deputy Station Manager's Office.
Wu Jingrong read the confession and compared it with the confession from the Military Justice Department. He pondered for a long time and said, "Captain Jiang, what do you think about this case?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "I think the suspicion of complicity basically does not exist. The most common charges are lack of superiority and disrespect for the leader. Others... I really don't think there is anything wrong with it."
"A reckless man doesn't know how high the sky is."
"Then, I'll sort out the materials and hand them over to the military court."
"Well, let's do it this way. The intention of the garrison is to get a lighter sentence."
"Also, there is one more thing."
"What's up?"
"If Zhao Dequan does not perform surgery, it may lead to amputation or even life-threatening."
"so serious?"
"The wound was seriously infected and the whole leg was swollen."
"Then take him to the hospital. Oh, by the way, don't forget to call Liu Guangtian. Zhao Dequan is from the 43rd Division, and they should pay for it."
"Okay. Deputy webmaster, these materials need your signature." Jiang Xinyu handed over a document bag, which contained documents related to Zhao Dequan's case.
Wu Jingrong picked up the pen and signed his name on each page of the document.
“Tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in." Wu Jingrong said while signing.
As soon as the door opened, Zhou Junchen hurried in, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and said: "Deputy station chief, Captain Sun... Captain Jiang is here too."
Jiang Xinyu patted the file in his hand and said, "Zhao Dequan's case."
"That battalion commander of the 43rd Division?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Oh, are there any results?"
"The case is basically closed. This is his confession." Jiang Xinyu handed over the confession.
Zhou Junchen took a rough look at it, shook his head slightly, and said: "I'm really surprised, how did such a person with a head full of shit become a major battalion commander, and he dared to talk nonsense."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "That's right. If it were a feudal dynasty, this would be a crime of disrespect. If not, the whole family would be executed."
While the two were chatting, Wu Jingrong signed all the documents, put down the pen in his hand, and said: "Don't underestimate this Zhao Dequan. I have read his file. During the Suizao battle, he was just a soldier.
He was a sergeant and squad leader, and his platoon leader died in battle. He and half of his platoon withstood the attack of a Japanese squad. His ability to become a major and battalion commander was earned with his life."
Zhou Junchen said: "As a result, my brain got hot and the major was gone. If not, I would have to go to jail."
Wu Jingrong smiled, glanced at Zhou Junchen, and said, "What's the matter?"
"A secret message came from the west." Zhou Junchen handed over the letter.
Jiang Xinyu was very knowledgeable and quickly packed up the documents on the table and said, "Deputy webmaster, there's nothing wrong. I'll go back first."
Wu Jingrong said: "Go and do your work... Oh, by the way, just send Zhao Dequan to the hospital and ask the people below to follow him."
"Okay." Jiang Xinyu smiled at Zhou Junchen, turned around and left.
