Sense

Chapter 73: Butcher (2)

“Dr. Chang Soo. The paramedics brought all the personal items of the patients together so we can’t tell what belongs to whom.”

The nurse pushed in a cart full of bags and daily necessities.

Seong Chang Soo approached and looked at the items one by one. When the bags with wallets were first classified and presented, the nurse checked the ID card and immediately delivered it to the bed.

"There's only cosmetics here. Let's put it on hold. It's just clothes here. I've never seen a laptop like this before. It's really sturdy. Of course, the name is not written. You're also on hold."

Dowook, who was looking at the patient's vitals, also turned his eyes toward the cart.

A strong-looking black laptop caught his eye. And a sense flooded into his fingertips.

‘Huh?’

He looked around, but with the patients, the medical staff, and the police, there were so many people that the owner of the sense could not be specified. But the impulse was very intense.

Opening the screen after approaching the laptop on the cart, Dowook lightly tapped the touchpad to open an Internet browser that he had never seen before.

On the command prompt, he typed what his fingers told him to.

Tap tap ta-tap.

"Doctor!"

Yoon Joong-gi across from him looked at the laptop and ran over in a fluster.

"You shouldn’t touch that device because it was used for criminal transactions…….”

"Oh, I shouldn't have touched it. I'm sorry."

Ring!

During the conversation, a cryptocurrency wallet called "Bitrain" appeared on the screen. Yoon Joong-gi's eyes widened.

"How did you turn on this screen?"

"I just pressed this and that…….”

Seong Chang Soo, who glanced at the laptop next to him, opened his mouth wide.

"What is this coin? Is it really the amount they have? The total value is 1, 10, 10 billion won? It's over 10 billion won.”

"What? Isn't it like a game?"

Seong Chang Soo pointed out the part where the currency information popped up.

?Bitrain 1 = 55,375 won ??

?Bitrain possessed 182,324?

?10,096,191,500?

"Look. It's a coin just by looking at it. What kind of rich man hit a coin this much?"

Yoon Joong-gi hurriedly closed the laptop screen.

"This laptop is an object utilized for a crime. Everything is part of a secret investigation, so please don't mention it elsewhere."

Seong Chang Soo looked enviously at the back of Yoon Joong-gi, who quickly disappeared after taking the laptop.

"Whether it was a secret or a crime, how nice it would have been if my coin had been covered like that."

"Did you invest in that?”

"I just tried it."

Dowook elbowed Seong Chang Soo in suspicion.

"People who lost all their money at the beginning of this year always say things like that with the same expression."

"I blew it normally. I didn't buy more than my salary could cover."

"You're crazy."

Seong Chang Soo looked up at the sky, recalling last year's bitcoin craze.

"Ah! If I could go back to a year ago!"

Vrrr.

When he received a text message stating that an operation room was now free, Dowook picked up his cell phone and pressed Choi Hoo’s number.

"Shh. I'm on the phone with Professor Choi."

At this, Seong Chang Soo flinched and stepped back even though it was just a phone call.

"Yes, professor. It’s Park Dowook."

-I saw your text. It's an emergency for cerebral hemorrhage? What's the status?

"The systolic blood pressure is 75, respiratory rate 25, and there is pupil movement, but it's like hemiplegia. The patient keeps bleeding in the central epidural membrane."

-Cerebral hemorrhage, huh. What about the operating room?

"It's D-Rosette 4 in 30 minutes.”

-Let's move then.

"I'll prepare right away."

Seong Chang Soo approached Dowook who finished the call.

"What did Last Choi say? Did he curse at you for calling him back after work?”

"Until when will you misunderstand Professor Choi?"

"Misunderstand?"

"He only curses in the operating room. He has a bottom line."

"Is that a misunderstanding?"

Dowook went next to the patient.

"I'm going to move. Help me get ready."

"I'm busy. Can't you see the belongings piled up here? And this person is under your department now."

"If Professor Choi asks me why I was late to set up the operating room for surgery, I would answer like this. Emergency center Dr. Sung was not cooperating…….”

"Stop! What should I do? Should I get rid of the vital cord first?"

"Clean up, call the person in charge of transportation, and buy coffee."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Professor Choi…….”

"You punk!"

The D-rosette door opened and a mobile bed was pushed inside.

Dowook pushed the patient into operating room No. 4 and moved in front of the washing table.

"Are you on call, Dr. Dowook?"

An Hosan, an anesthesiologist, approached as he began washing his hands.

"I'm not on duty, but the patient's case is serious. Please pay attention to anesthesia."

"Looking at it, you’re turning more and more into Professor Choi. I think you’re only looking for difficult surgeries.”

"Did I say that? I'm sorry if you felt pressured."

"Pressure from Dr. Dowook is an honor these days. You’re the hospital’s face.”

An Hosan, who was smiling, suddenly said as if he had just remembered.

"There are rumors that Professor Choi will set up a dedicated surgical team. Someone had already been selected from our anesthesiologist department ."

"Dedicated surgical team?"

"I guess he would only be looking after difficult surgeries in earnest. He picked the most skilled person from our department."

It was Dowook’s first time hearing about it, so he tilted his head when the door of D-rosette opened and three huge men in sportswear arrived inside.

As soon as Dowook saw them, he waved his hand in surprise.

"You can't come in here recklessly!"

"What are you saying? The door opens automatically for anyone to come in."

Neither Dowook nor An Hosan could kick them out because they were men with an unusual aura.

"Where's hyung-nim?"

"What do you mean hyung-nim?"

"Shin Sung-oh. Our hyung-nim’s name."

Dowook looked toward the fourth operating room when the man with a big nose answered. This patient, the detective said was an accomplice, seemed to be the leader of a criminal organization.

The big nose man, who looked into the window of the door overlooking the fourth room, shouted.

"Hyung-niim! What happened? The big cover is broken. Hey! Open this door!"

In front of the door that opened with a button by using feet to prevent hand contamination, the big nose man cried desperately.

The sound of knocking on the door made the nurses and transport officials in the operating room look like they didn't know how to act.

"The patient Shin Sung-oh is waiting for surgery. If you do this here, we can't proceed with the patient's surgery."

While Dowook was explaining, An Hosan slightly bent over to call the security team with his cell phone.

"Don’t move."

Another guy approached An Hosan and grabbed his arm. He took the cell phone and pressed the power button right away.

"Slow down with making the call. If you don't want to break your bones."

The big nose man in front of the operating room door spoke violently.

"You, the doctor over there. Open this door and give hyung-nim to me quickly."

"If the patient is not operated on time, his life will be in danger."

"If he stays here for a long time, he’ll get knifed and die! The lottery-obsessed bastards are moving because they know hyung-nim’s out.”

It seemed that the life-threatening danger to this patient was not just related to the unfortunate accident.

Dowook tried to persuade the big men as calmly as possible.

"There are detectives and police officers in the hospital now. That kind of thing….”

"How can I trust those fuzzies? What do you think those crazy guys are going to do? Hurry up and open the door!"

Bang bang!

When the men hit the door, the nurse in the operating room burst into tears. The man with a big nose pointed at the transport manager when he tried to call with his cell phone.

"Doctor. Why don't you put it down right away?”

The person in charge of the transfer continued to report despite threats from the big man.

"Hey! You wanna die!"

The big nose man, who couldn't overcome his temper, kicked the door. Then the operating room door opened.

"Huh?”

As soon as the man, who was surprised by the door opening, was about to enter the operating room.

Drrrrk.

The door of the D-rosette opened and Choi Hoo walked in.

Choi Hoo saw that there were three non-medical staff in the ward and frowned.

"What's this?"

"MInd your own business."

Choi Hoo saw the big man trying to take a step into the operating room and shouted.

"Where are you entering with that dirty body?"

The big man laughed in disbelief at Choi Hoo’s words.

"Hey, doctor. Right now, did you just…….”

Even before the man's words were over, Choi Hoo came closer, grabbed him by the neck and dragged him back.

Crash!

The two other men rushed over after seeing the big man rolling around the floor.

However, they were unable to win against the pressure from Choi Hoo who was 185 centimeters tall and built like a fighter, so they helped the big nosed man stand up instead.

"Keuk, keuk. What's wrong with that bastard?"

"His grip is crazy strong, Muk-Ho hyungnim. You went out in a single strike.”

"What are you doing? He's only one person!"

While the big-nosed man held his neck and coughed, his two sidekicks approached Choi Hoo from opposite sides.

Choi Hoo watched the two blankly and slapped the face of the guy that approached him from a closer side.

The big man swayed around with a slapping sound.

Choi Hoo, who simply avoided the attack of the other, held the 10th scalpel from the cart in the operating room.

"Oh dear. Muk-Ho hyungnim. He's holding a knife."

"A booger-sized one. Cough. What are you scared of?! We're better at using knives!"

There was no fear of dealing with a gangster at all in Choi Hoo’s gaze as he faced the opponent while twirling the scalpel as if he was holding a ballpoint pen.

"You guys. Just try to come into the operating room. I'm going to cut all those parts that get in."

Choi Hoo threatened like a growling beast, scaring those who heard his tone for the first time.

The big guy swallowed. And entering the operating room or not, became the biggest dilemma of his gangster life.

"Get out of my way!"

The big nosed man, who recovered, rushed in with an angry runny nose.

Choi Hoo jumped forward and covered the face of the tall nose man with his left hand.

A face caught like a basketball. When Choi Hoo put some force into his forearm, the big man's rush stopped at once.

Choi Hoo immediately put the scalpel in his right hand against the other’s neck.

The scary feeling of cold metal touching the neck stopped the big nose man with a flinch.

"Uh…."

"This is the carotid artery. You can die in just three minutes from excessive bleeding if it gets cut. Now, would you still like to enter the operating room?”

"Eu… Doctor hyung. C-calm down…….”

When the big man was overpowered in an instant, neither of the other two hastily touched Choi Hoo.

Choi Hoo turned to Dowook in that state.

"Who is this patient? What kind of idiots are they?”

"I heard he’s a key suspect of the police."

"Key suspect?"

Choi Hoo turned to the operating room, and he shouted at the medical staff standing in a daze while looking at the scene.

"Not going to disinfect the contaminated things!"

With the scolding, the medical staff rushed to move. And then they realized they'd been working with someone scarier than a gangster.

Dowook approached Choi Hoo’s side and looked at the trembling big man. The back of the scalpel was at his neck, but the man was trembling as if he didn't recognize this fact.

"Sir. We are also people who gathered here to save this patient. If you take him out like this, he’ll die before you move him to another hospital."

Held by Choi Hoo, the big nosed man looked at Dowook with wide and timid eyes.

"We’ll definitely solve the trauma. Whether it's a fight between organizations or not, settle it on your own. Let's save this patient, your boss. Do you agree with the surgery?”

The big nosed man nodded his chin slightly up and down.

The underground parking lot of Myeong Sae Hospital.

Yoon Joong-gi, who was approaching the brown van with the laptop held close to his chest, stopped at the loud voice that sounded from front of him.

-Before this happened, you should have asked for support in advance! What were you trying to do?

It was the voice of Oh Sang-man, the leader of Team 1 in the metropolitan area. Lieutenant Ahn Seok-young was the one being scolded. He was a senior who was not seriously injured in the cafe explosion.

-The chief is really angry. He said that if you can't specify the culprit, you should throw in the towel and take care of yourselves. How many in your team are alright right now?

-The only one that can move is me and Joong-gi…….

-All of the top staff are hospitalized and only the two of you are left? Can you still investigate? Hand over all the data to us and take care of Captain Cheon, you guys.

-But Captain Oh, Heogi-poong is what Captain Cheon has been working on for six months.

Yoon Joong-gi could not approach the van.

He would naturally be criticized as well if he went. But that wasn't a problem. He didn't want to share this laptop, which could be a big clue leading to the Heogi-poong case, with Captain Oh’s team.

The criminal was in this hospital, and there was only one step left, and the results could not be completely handed to Team 1.

Yoon Joong-gi turned around and sent Lieutenant Ahn Seok-young a text saying, [Please drag time. I'll find a clue and check it out] as he entered the hospital again.

He looked for the number of the Cyber forensics investigator of the National Police Agency. As he was searching, he got a call from somewhere else first.

-Detective, this is the security room. Three members of the Namyoung faction went on a rampage in the operating room.

"What?"

-It's the operating room on the 5th floor, and when the security team was dispatched, the doctor in charge had already taken care of the situation.

Yoon Joong-gi tilted his head.

How could the staff deal with the situation against the Namyeong faction, who were famous for their ignorance and recklessness? He urgently said,

"I'll go up first."
