My Military Career in a Parallel World

"Damn! This is not a solution. I don't want to go to the mountain to smash rocks!!!" The feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and Zhao Lei finally couldn't sit still anymore.

On the other side, Jiang Chen and Li Gang did not continue searching blindly.

It's not 20 years later now. There are surveillance cameras everywhere, and the footage is clearer than the last. Even the wrinkles on your face can be seen clearly.

Although the hospital also has surveillance cameras, the footage...

Moreover, cameras are not installed everywhere. Only some important locations are installed.

This is also the reason why the two would rather look for a needle in a haystack than check the surveillance.

Of course, the two did not gain nothing.

Since he was moving around in the hospital and had to find his target and figure out his movements, it would be impossible for him to hide.

The two men decisively changed their thinking and went directly to the floor and ward where the victim was located, and asked the family members of nearby hospitalized patients about this person.

In order to accurately describe this person's appearance, Jiang Chen also took the opportunity to go to the dream space.

According to the patient's family, this person had been hanging around the area for about two days, and sometimes he could be seen as early as seven or eight in the evening.

Several patients' family members chatted with him when they went to the corridor to smoke.

"He said he was also a patient in the hospital and that he had almost recovered. He wanted to be discharged, but his family asked him to stay in the ward for a few more days for observation. He couldn't stay in the ward, so he came out to walk around."

"Patients in the hospital?" Upon hearing the news, both of them couldn't help but frown.

They did not doubt the words of the patient's family, nor did they wonder whether this was a reason made up by that person.

Because several patients' families said in succession that the man was wearing a hospital gown when he came, and there was a smell of disinfectant on his body that only exists in hospitals, which did not seem to be fake.

So, even though this person's behavior was a little suspicious, no one suspected anything.

For the patients' family members, they don't even need to use their eyes to see whether a person stays in the hospital often, they can tell whether it is true or not just by smelling it.

After receiving the news, the two rushed to the inpatient department without stopping, and after some negotiations, they successfully obtained the information of the inpatients.

However, things got stuck here again...

No matter how many times he turned the pages or how carefully he looked, he could not find anyone who looked exactly like the person in Jiang Chen's memory!

"Could it be a mistake?" Li Gang hesitated.

Jiang Chen didn't think so. He shook his head decisively and denied Li Gang's judgment.

It’s not that Jiang Chen is stubborn, nor is it that Li Gang is incompetent.

Rather, Li Gang stayed in the army for many years and had no access to information from the outside world. He had no way of knowing some common phenomena in society.

This is not the era of the big Internet 20 years later, and identity verification and review are not as strict as imagined.

Not to mention going through the hospitalization procedures, as long as you have an ID card, no matter if you are the original owner or not, you can go to any bank to apply for a bank card. With some connections, you can even get a business license.

It’s just that ordinary people generally don’t have this need, so they don’t know much about it.

In his previous life, he almost fell into this trap. Someone used his ID card to register a company. Fortunately, he discovered it in time and avoided more serious consequences.

Until the time when he traveled through time, the company was still registered under his name, and he couldn't cancel it even if he wanted to. He was overwhelmed by all the procedures and processes, but he thought that he was penniless anyway, so it didn't matter whether he registered or not, so he just left it alone.

Through this incident, Jiang Chen also learned a lot of information that ordinary people didn't know, and he paid more attention to his own identity information.

You have to know that it had been several years at that time, and such things were still happening. What's more, we have just entered the new century. As long as the other party does not default on the payment, the hospital will not have the time to care about these trivial matters.

Without hiding anything from Li Gang, Jiang Chen expressed his judgment.

"No way? The hospital's admission information is so perfunctory!" Li Gang asked suspiciously.

"Squad leader, don't disbelieve me. A few years ago, a man from our village went to the county hospital for treatment. He didn't even have his household registration book, let alone his ID card. No one cared. He just had to pay the money. No one cared about these trivial matters!"

This was not something Jiang Chen made up, but was something that the original owner actually experienced.

In the past few years, family planning inspections were quite strict. Many people gave birth to their children outside, and in order to avoid being fined or forced to get sterilized, they deliberately did not register their children.

When others ask about it, just say that it is a relative's child who is being taken care of for two days.

After the policy was relaxed, most people got their household registration, but there are still a few undocumented people without identities.

This kind of thing is very common in rural areas.

After listening to his narration, Li Gang's brows were almost twisted into a "川" shape. Having been in the army for many years, he could not imagine that such a thing could happen!

"Now what?"

"Alas, I can only search in each ward one by one. There is no better way..." As Jiang Chen said this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind and he thought of a piece of information that he had missed before.

"Squad leader, let's go find the nurse from the hospital!" Without time to explain, Jiang Chen pulled Li Gang out.

It is indeed impossible to find the target from the hospitalization information. If you really have to search in each ward, it will take a long time to find him. What if the criminal escapes?

But if we change our thinking...

Since you need to be hospitalized, you must see a doctor!

It can't be that nothing happens and you spend so much money to come to the hospital just to find a bed to sleep in!

But judging from the guy's performance, it was obvious that he didn't look like anything was wrong.

and so……

As he walked, Jiang Chen expressed his thoughts.

After hearing this, Li Gang couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly. This idea was very good. He didn't realize that this kid actually had the potential to be a policeman.

Li Gang couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen a few more times, and he became more and more looking forward to his future.

He is smart, hardworking, and a 1985 graduate. Judging from the current situation, if he can really find clues and catch the criminal suspect hiding in the hospital, he may not be able to get the second-class merit, but he will definitely get the third-class merit.

Not only can a new recruit become a deputy squad leader in the first month, but if he can also win a third-class merit, then...

However, it is useless to say so much now. Before finding the person, it will be useless to say more.

Arriving at the hospital's nursing department, Li Gang took out his non-commissioned officer ID, briefly explained his purpose, and then met the director of the nursing department.

With the cooperation of the director of the nursing department, they also met with several head nurses who were in charge of the patients in the ward.

After some inquiries and communication, I indeed got a lot of useful information.

Three days ago, a man came to the hospital with his medical records, saying that he needed to be hospitalized, but he neither went for a check-up nor saw a doctor. He just asked the hospital to prescribe medicine for him based on the condition described in the medical records.

Moreover, he paid the fee for three days right away. After the nurses tried to persuade him a few times and found it was useless, they ignored him.

Anyway, the medical bills have already been paid, so you can stay in the hospital if you want.

It's impossible not to make any money that comes to your door.

Because this kind of thing is relatively rare, even after a few days, everyone still remembers it clearly.

When Li Gang asked if there were any special people or things in the past week, especially hospitalized patients, several nurses present immediately thought of this incident.

In order to avoid any further complications, the two did not delay after successfully obtaining the key clue. While Li Gang took out his mobile phone to contact the platoon leader to report the situation, the two of them, led by the nurse, went straight to the target ward.

"The comrades from the Criminal Police Brigade have arrived. I will take them there right away. Please pay attention to your own safety when you take action!" Without saying anything like "wait until I arrive" or caring about Jiang Chen's identity as a rookie, Zhao Hongbin made a prompt decision and approved Li Gang's request for action after just saying "pay attention to your own safety".

He's just a gangster. He's gone through a hail of bullets. How can he be afraid of such a small thing?

If he really let someone escape because of this matter, it would be a slap in his face, in the face of the entire Reconnaissance Company 228, and even in the face of the entire th Regiment!

As for Jiang Chen, he is the only one who has seen the suspect's true face, and they are still counting on him to identify him.

Danger? With Li Gang, the old scout, here, if he still fails in a one-on-one situation, he should stop being a scout and go to the farm to raise pigs!

I thought the matter was over here.

Even if the suspect had wings, he would not be able to escape the heavy siege.

But the development of things is always beyond people's expectations.

Led by the nurse, the two hurried to the door of the ward. As soon as they opened the door, they saw that the ward was in chaos.

The target they were looking for was holding a fruit knife and holding a patient on the bed next to them hostage.

Time went back to a few minutes ago. Zhao Lei took off his hospital gown and changed into other clothes. He also disguised himself. However, before he reached the gate, he saw a man with a similar figure to him being stopped by the soldiers at the gate.

This scared Zhao Lei, who was following behind. While everyone else's attention was on the person in front, Zhao Lei quickly turned around and ran back to the hospital.

Then he went to other exits of the hospital, but without exception there were one or two soldiers standing near all the exits, and even near the wall there were people in military uniforms passing by from time to time.

At this point, how could Zhao Lei not know that he was being targeted?

Unable to get out, he had to go back to the hospital, contacting his companions with his cell phone while thinking of ways to escape.

However, the two companions who had just grabbed the money were so eager to spend it that they had no time to care about him.

This isn't the first time they've done this. Now that they've got the money, why aren't they just enjoying themselves?

With no hope of rescue, Zhao Lei had to think of other ways.

Escape is no longer possible, so I can only hope that these people can't find me.

But is this possible?

Although the hospital is large, as long as one really puts in the effort to search every inch, he will be found sooner or later.

and so……

"Don't come over here!!!"

When he saw the green figure flash by behind the crowd, the expression on Zhao Lei's face became more ferocious. The arm holding the knife trembled slightly. The sharp blade left a shallow wound on the hostage's neck, and blood flowed out.

In an instant, the crowd in the ward became even more chaotic.

People outside who didn't know what was going on wanted to go in to watch the fun, while the frightened patients and their families inside wanted to leave but couldn't.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen and Li Gang arrived in time.

Although no one knew what exactly happened, the military uniforms on the two men made the people at the scene subconsciously obey their arrangements.

The patients and their families who gathered at the door of the ward were dispersed, and the nurse who helped lead the way was also left outside.

"Comrade soldier, you must save my old man..." An old lady who was about fifty or sixty years old pulled the sleeves of the two men and begged bitterly.

"Don't worry, old lady. We are soldiers. I guarantee with my life that nothing will happen to the people inside!" Li Gang looked determined and promised solemnly while holding the old lady's hand.

The two men comforted the old man for a few more words, and after the old man calmed down a little, they handed him over to the care of the nurse next to them. The two looked at each other, pushed open the door of the ward and walked straight in.

"You...you don't come over here, or I will be rude to you if you come over again!"

Zhao Lei exerted a little force with his arms, and the old man whose neck he had locked started coughing immediately, and his already pale face turned even paler.

In order to avoid irritating him, the two men obediently did not move forward, but stopped at the door of the ward and confronted him from a distance.

"It's you! It's really you!!" After seeing the two people's faces clearly, Zhao Lei's expression became more ferocious, and he stared at Jiang Chen with hatred in his tone.

"It's me! I advise you to think it over carefully. Although robbery is a serious crime, the most you'll get is a few years in prison. But if you dare to kill someone, being shot is the lightest punishment!" Looking at the old man who was almost out of breath due to the gangster's emotional state, Jiang Chen did not back off. He took the initiative to step forward to Li Gang's side, staring at the excited Zhao Lei, and solemnly warned him.

After being reminded by him, Zhao Lei also reacted. Looking at the hostage who was having difficulty breathing in his arms, he quickly loosened his arms.

"Don't force me! Let me go! As long as I leave safely, I will definitely let him go!"

Looking at the two people who were still blocking the gate and had not retreated at all, Zhao Lei's expression became even more crazy.

After stabbing the hostage's neck with a knife twice, Zhao Lei suddenly smiled jokingly: "Aren't you soldiers? Aren't you supposed to serve the people? Are you going to watch someone die in front of you just for my life?"

Hearing Zhao Lei's provocative tone, Li Gang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly behind his back, wishing he could rush up and punch him in the head.

But, he can't do that!

He could only hide his anger deep in his heart and look for an opportunity to rescue the hostages.

"You can go! But! You have to stay!!!" Li Gang gritted his teeth and uttered slowly.

"Haha, do you think I'm a fool?! Don't push me!!" Zhao Lei laughed loudly, his expression suddenly became ferocious, and the arm holding the fruit knife suddenly exerted force. The sharp blade cut the skin, and bright red blood dripped from the tip of the knife, staining the old man's clothes red.

PS: My uncle in my hometown, who is also my grandfather’s brother, passed away yesterday. I was busy until 10 o’clock in the evening. The situation was basically the same in the next few days until my uncle was buried.

It’s hard to say whether I will be able to update in time in the future. I can only take it one step at a time, post as much as I write, and try my best to maintain full attendance this month. If I stop updating, I can’t do anything about it, but I can guarantee that there will be at least one thousand words updated before twelve o'clock every day.

I hope you can understand...

thanks for your support!

Thank you!
