Chapter 37 Tang Fuming's Reaction"Your request is reasonable."

"Summon the attending physician of Zhu Lin, Tang Fuming."

Presiding Judge Nie Zhengyang struck the gavel and issued the order.

In fact, Tang Fuming had been waiting backstage in the courtroom for the summons. However, what he didn't expect was that he would be summoned to the stand as the defendant.

Originally, when the court sent someone to communicate with him a few days ago, it was said that he would be asked to testify as a witness about the treatment process back then. After all, he had the most contact with Zhu Lin after the incident. If they wanted to crack the case, he was an important figure who couldn't be ignored.

"Presiding Judge, I can't tolerate the plaintiff's lawyer slandering me."

"He said that I didn't do my best in treating Zhu Lin, which is complete nonsense."

"As a doctor,

"it is my sacred duty to save lives and heal the injured.

"How could I stand by and do nothing!"

Tang Fuming was very agitated, and a hint of panic flashed in his cloudy eyes behind his reading glasses.

"Plaintiff's lawyer, subjective impressions or speculations alone cannot be the basis for establishing someone's guilt."

"I hope

"you can provide evidence to support what you just said."

Presiding Judge Nie Zhengyang would never be biased towards any party. In court, evidence is the most crucial thing.

"Presiding Judge, I have evidence."

Lin Chuan stood straight, full of confidence and with a determined look in his eyes. This lawsuit was extremely difficult. If he wanted to prove the suspect guilty, a direct approach was not advisable. Instead, he had to adopt a roundabout tactic. If the suspect Jiang Yun was regarded as the big BOSS, Lin Chuan's idea was to take care of the small monsters that had interactions with the suspect Jiang Yun first, and then attack the big BOSS later. By doing so, the success rate would be higher.

After Lin Chuan's verification in the legal space, it was found that there were shady dealings between Zhu Lin's attending physician Tang Fuming and the Jiang family. Therefore, Lin Chuan decided to start with Tang Fuming.

"In the winter of 1996, in December,

"sick Zhu Lin was admitted to Wanhe Hospital for treatment, and the attending physician was Tang Fuming, the director of the internal medicine department."

"At that time,

"it took seven days just to check the cause of the illness.

"But,

"even so.

"is it really reasonable that Dr. Tang Fuming still couldn't find the cause of Zhu Lin's illness?"

"You know,

"Dr. Tang Fuming became the director of the internal medicine department at the age of 35. He studied abroad and had excellent medical skills. He was regarded as the standard-bearer of the internal medicine department of Wanhe Hospital."

"But...

"such an outstanding doctor, why couldn't he diagnose thallium poisoning within seven days?"

"Dr. Tang Fuming,

"did you really do your best?"

Lin Chuan's sharp eyes stared straight at Tang Fuming.

Tang Fuming, with his white hair, was already 65 years old this year. Due to his excellent medical skills and high emotional intelligence, he is now the vice president of Wanhe Hospital and is known as a master in internal medicine, famous all over the world. However, standing in court today, facing Lin Chuan's sharp questions, Tang Fuming no longer had his former dignity.

"Lawyer Lin Chuan, different trades have different skills. Please put aside your prejudice against me!

"If you were a doctor, you would know."

"The thallium element

"is like a perfect poison. It is colorless, odorless, soluble in water, and the symptoms of poisoning are slow to appear and concealed.

"Therefore, it is difficult to diagnose medically."

Tang Fuming pushed his reading glasses and tried hard to defend himself.

"Yes, what you said is correct.

"The symptoms of thallium poisoning are indeed very concealed and difficult to diagnose.

"But that's for other doctors.

"For you..."

"If the hospital admission records I found are correct, in the summer of 1993, Wanhe Hospital also admitted a thallium poisoning patient."

"And,

"at that time, the patient also came from Huaqing University.

"Although he was not a student,

"he was a staff member on campus."

"The reason was that when he was cleaning the chimney in the chemical laboratory, he accidentally touched thallium salts. After being sent to Wanhe Hospital, you diagnosed the cause immediately."

"But why couldn't you diagnose Zhu Lin's thallium poisoning for a long time?"

Lin Chuan didn't give Tang Fuming a chance to catch his breath. Once you know the truth, you don't need to organize your words deliberately. Just keep asking, and lies will eventually be exposed.

"Um... I did admit a thallium poisoning patient in 1993.

"You are right."

"This patient was a cleaner at Huaqing University.

"The reason why I could diagnose his illness immediately was that the accompanying person told me what had happened."

"Before the onset of the disease, he was cleaning the chemical laboratory.

"So it was easy for me to think of the possibility of chemical element poisoning."

"And,

"although both were thallium poisoning, he was different from Zhu Lin.

"Zhu Lin had chronic poisoning.

"The poisoner administered small doses continuously, resulting in unclear symptoms of Zhu Lin, so it was difficult to diagnose accurately."

"But he had acute poisoning.

"The amount of thallium salts he was exposed to was very high, so he got sick immediately, and the symptoms were very obvious."

"This provided me with a clue to diagnose him with thallium poisoning."

Tang Fuming took a deep breath, thinking that his explanation was perfect.

But immediately, Lin Chuan pointed out the logical loophole.

"In 1993, you were the attending physician for the thallium poisoning of a cleaner at Huaqing University.

"In 1996, another student from Huaqing University came to Wanhe Hospital, but you couldn't diagnose the illness."

"Don't you think it's ridiculous?

"As the attending physician, you had already admitted a thallium poisoning patient before.

"And,

"another student from Huaqing University also showed similar symptoms."

"The common points between the two are so obvious.

"Both come from Huaqing University.

"Both have similar symptoms."

"Wouldn't the first reaction of a normal doctor be to suspect whether it was another illness caused by thallium poisoning?"

Lin Chuan's thinking was very clear, and he immediately pointed out Tang Fuming's logical loophole.

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room also suddenly realized.

Indeed.

There are too many commonalities between the two patients. Both come from Huaqing University and have similar symptoms. Even ordinary people would instinctively think of thallium poisoning, not to mention doctors.

But Tang Fuming, with his rich experience and excellent medical skills, didn't even think about thallium poisoning. Isn't this a joke?

"This...

"This is because Zhu Lin was a student in the Department of Physics at Huaqing University, and she had no way to come into contact with thallium salts."

"After Zhu Lin was admitted to the ward, her roommate came to visit her.

"I also specifically asked

"whether students in the Department of Physics would come into contact with toxic chemical elements."

"But her roommate said that students in the Department of Physics do not conduct experiments in the chemical laboratory, so there is no possibility of coming into contact with chemical elements."

"So...

"I ruled out the possibility of chemical element poisoning."

Tang Fuming's voice was much lower than before, and he was no longer confident. He found that Lin Chuan seemed to know all about the incident. No matter how reasonable an explanation he made up, Lin Chuan could always find a counterpoint the next second.

"Okay, okay, okay.

"Dr. Tang Fuming, if you insist on saying so, it's okay.

"But.

"On the eighth day of Zhu Lin's hospitalization, because the cause of the illness could not be found, you finally started testing her for chemical elements.

"At that time, the only medical equipment capable of detecting chemical elements in China was the spectrometer.

"May I ask,

"what color does thallium element show on the spectrum?"

Lin Chuan was about to play his trump card.

"Green...

"green."

Tang Fuming suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, and his back was chilly.

"I happen to have a spectrum of chemical element detection here, with the recorded time being

"Patient: Zhu Lin.

"Attending physician: Tang Fuming.

"Equipment ownership: Wanhe Hospital."

Lin Chuan placed the evidence in front of the camera. Through the transmission of sunlight, the spectrum indeed showed an irregular light green shape.

"This—this is impossible!"

Tang Fuming's cloudy vitreous body was full of disbelief. This chemical element detection spectrum had long been destroyed by him. How could it be restored and appear in the courtroom thirty years later? Besides being a forgery, Tang Fuming couldn't think of any other possibilities.

"Your Honor, he is forging evidence! I request professional appraisal!"
