Chapter 204 If I say you're sick, then you're sick.
These words struck like a bolt from the blue in the dean's office.
Nurse Zhu trembled with fear. "It's over, I'm finished. I just hope Ma Lingling has really gone mad."
Director Niu's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down. Why did this happen? Wasn't it all arranged perfectly?
Dean Ma, despite his physical limitations, thought, "So what if I find Ma Lingling? What can a mentally ill person do to me? As for the cigarettes and alcohol, it's nothing. At most, I'll get a disciplinary action, which will be revoked after a year. It won't have much of an impact on me."
Horses still run, dances still go on, and the little nurses are having a blast.
Two police officers helped a tired-looking Ma Lingling into the room. She had attended university, studied in Hong Kong for a year, and even participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, but unfortunately did not make it to the finals. She was quite good-looking, but looked at least ten years older than the radiant and youthful Miss Hong Kong contestants of that time.
"mom"
Ma Lingling's cry of "Mom!" was like a resounding slap in the face to Dean Ma.
Zheng Guiqin rushed over, and the two women hugged each other and cried bitterly. They hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, and both of them had changed drastically. The daughter had aged, and the mother had become lame. They had experienced all the hardships of life.
Qi Tongwei sneered, "Dean Ma, isn't this scene quite touching? Let me interview you now. What are your thoughts?"
Dean Ma was utterly humiliated, but he remained defiant and defiant, saying, "Ma Lingling has a mental illness. This is a conclusion reached unanimously by several of our experts and professors. What do you, a mere policeman, know?"
Qi Tongwei laughed loudly, "Dean Ma, if you said that to the people, they would beat you to death with hoes and sickles. You are truly shameless, torturing a living person into a mental illness."
"Am I the expert, or are you the expert? If I say Ma Lingling has a mental illness, then she has a mental illness."
Dean Ma was so nervous and guilty that he spoke incoherently, unintentionally revealing his truest thoughts.
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but laugh. "Dean Ma, according to you, I'm a policeman, so if I say you're guilty, you're guilty."
Dean Ma couldn't take it anymore. Being mocked and ridiculed by a young man made him lose all face. He flew into a rage, a furious fit of shame and humiliation.
"Police investigations are based on evidence. Mental illness is a very complex disease; you simply don't understand it, you simply don't understand it."
Dean Ma was so anxious she was jumping up and down, but Qi Tongwei seemed more relaxed. "Ma Lingling, don't cry. I have a few questions for you."
He held up one finger. "Ma Lingling, how many is this?"
Ma Lingling was a little confused, and timidly answered, "1".
You got it right.
Qi Tongwei then held up two fingers, "How many is this?"
Ma Lingling didn't hesitate, "2"
Qi Tongwei then held up three fingers, "How many is this?"
"3"
"Very good answer."
Qi Tongwei then asked, "What does 1+1 equal?"
Ma Lingling was very confident, "2"
What does 2 + 2 equal?
"4"
What does 3 + 3 equal?
"6"
Qi Tongwei clapped his hands. "Ma Lingling, congratulations! You got them all right, which proves you're not mentally ill."
Everyone was dumbfounded. If it were that easy to determine whether someone has a mental illness, then all the experts and professors would be eating shit.
"Child's play, utterly child's play, utterly ridiculous!"
Dean Ma was furious; this was like rubbing his brain in the ground until it sparked.
Qi Tongwei didn't have time to find experts and professors to conduct a mental health assessment of Ma Lingling. With a wave of his hand, he immediately gave the order.
"Take them all back."
"What right do you have to arrest me? What authority do you have to arrest me? This is an abuse of power and violent enforcement of the law. I will file a complaint, I will complain to the provincial leaders, and I will complain to the Ministry of Public Security."
Dean Ma was so anxious that he started yelling and shouting like a clown. The two policemen didn't care about that and just took him into custody.
Qi Tongwei chuckled, raised his fist, and mimicked Dean Ma's words, "I'm going to complain to the Central Committee, I'm going to complain to the United Nations, I'm going to complain to the invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
That was such a sarcastic remark that everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Dean Ma was so angry that he was panting heavily, his face covered in cold sweat. It was so damn humiliating that he almost bit his tongue and committed suicide. But then he remembered that he hadn't gotten his hands on the new female nurse yet, so he chickened out and gave up the struggle.
With Dean Ma arrested, Director Niu, Doctor Xiong, and Nurse Zhu had no choice but to surrender. They knew very well that clashing with the police would only lead to trouble, so they decided to be pragmatic.
After cleaning up the cigarettes and alcohol, we packed them all up and took them back to the provincial department; the leaders will definitely like them.
Ma Lingling was sent to the hospital for examination. She survived by pretending to be crazy in the mental hospital, fueled by hatred and strong willpower. Thus, a great female protagonist was born.
Li Jitao was stunned when he learned that Qi Tongwei had brought back the director, chief physician, attending physician, and nurses of the mental hospital. This kid just can't stay still if he doesn't cause trouble every day.
Even if someone deliberately sends a normal person to a mental hospital and locks them up, there has never been a precedent of arresting the hospital director. It's simply absurd.
"Tell me, what exactly are you trying to do, kid?"
Li Jitao slammed his fist on the table in anger, his hand aching from the force. He was filled with regret, thinking, "Damn, that hurts! It's all this kid's fault for making me so angry."
When a leader is angry, you can't just stand up to them. Qi Tongwei looked sincere and spoke in a very aggrieved tone.
"Sir, this mental hospital is utterly lawless! They can just lock up any normal person like that. If this continues, anyone who has a grudge against someone can just be sent to a mental hospital. What's the point of having us police officers then?"
The kid's words were flawless. Li Jitao knew, of course, that the mental hospital's actions were against the law, but when it came to mistakes by government departments, the usual punishment was to punish the culprits with three cups of wine, deal with a few minor culprits, and give the leaders a disciplinary action.
"I'm asking you what right you have to arrest the hospital director. You dared to conduct a search without a warrant; you're knowingly breaking the law."
When a leader makes a mistake, subordinates sometimes have to stand up for their rights. Qi Tongwei certainly can't keep being such a coward.
"Sir, I wouldn't call myself a lawbreaker, but Dean Ma is an expert professor who prescribes medication for mental illness to normal people and is also suspected of illegal detention. That's what it means to knowingly break the law."
"When a victim reports a crime, I, as a police officer, am simply fulfilling my duty to protect the people. Taking coercive measures against criminals like Dean Ma and searching for evidence on-site is at most a procedural violation, but we must never be lenient in cracking down on criminals."
Li Jitao really couldn't do anything with this kid who kept calling him a criminal. He was standing on the side of justice and righteousness, and there was really no way to refute him.
"Fine, I can't argue with you. What are you going to do?"
Qi Tongwei spoke eloquently, "Reporting to the leadership, a country has its laws, and a family has its rules. Everything must be based on the law. I will definitely give the victims justice, and of course, I will handle the criminals, including Dean Ma, impartially and without any favoritism or bending of the law."
Li Jitao was at his wits' end. "The court hasn't even delivered its verdict yet, and you're already calling someone a criminal? That's a presumption of guilt, don't you understand?"
Qi Tongwei showed no fear. "Reporting to the leader, I'll go and interrogate him right now. We'll know whether he's guilty or not after the interrogation."
Li Jitao was speechless. If this kid didn't have Director Ye backing him up, he would probably be suspended from his post on the very first day and sent to some remote mountain village to play in the mud.
"You're a good kid, go and interrogate him right now."
