Chapter 342: Chapter 216: New Instance: Mechanical Fate_2

"Do you... do you know who I am?"

"You are a citizen, so you should cooperate with our investigation. You need to trust us; we will give your husband an explanation. Give us a little time, and we will first understand the situation."

Li Xiang’s presence instantly subdued the other party. If they continued to disobey him, arrests might indeed be made.

The sound of police sirens increased outside, evidently indicating the growing support here.

The bureau was also worried about other mass incidents occurring here, so they dispatched three special police vehicles to maintain order.

Seeing the situation, other patients’ families realized that further troublemaking might truly hurt their case, so they started whispering with the chairman’s wife.

"Everyone disperse, and the patients’ families come with me to the hospital office. We’ll call the hospital head and the chief surgeon to come, and we’ll clarify the issues inside to find a solution."

"Alright, I’ll trust you this once. Let’s go."

With the chairman’s wife’s words, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Li Xiang accompanied the victim’s family, along with the hospital’s medical department director, to the hospital’s reception room.

Once they were seated, Li Xiang first sought out the medical department director and pulled him aside to understand the situation.

The victim’s family was now emotionally agitated, and many details were unclear, so he had to ask the medical department director for clarification first.

"Here’s the situation: a month ago, the patient was diagnosed with severe heart failure and couldn’t wait for a heart transplant due to the lack of an organ source. The patient couldn’t wait any longer, so it was decided to implant the latest ultra-small magnetic levitation artificial heart from abroad. A week after the surgery, the patient was doing well, but today suddenly there was news that he wasn’t doing well and was brought to the hospital already deceased. We checked the equipment and found no issues with it. Who knows if the patient encountered something else at home, like emotional agitation or coming into contact with a strong magnetic field, causing the equipment to malfunction. But we explained all these precautions to the patient’s family, so how can they blame the hospital?"

The medical department director also felt a lot of grievances; the hospital couldn’t possibly take responsibility for this nor afford to. The patient’s social status was uncommon, and if the hospital took the blame, it would greatly harm the hospital’s reputation.

"Is it possible that the medical equipment had a fault?"

"Impossible. All products for sale go through strict quality inspections, with a 100% qualification rate, so there can be no issues. It’s like a parachute, life hangs in the balance, how could it be faulty?"

Li Xiang thought about it and agreed; when lives are at stake, it’s clear that this ultra-small magnetic levitation artificial heart wouldn’t have product issues. But the system’s mission was clear, and the root of the problem might still lie with the equipment.

"But the fact is, the person is dead, so the issue needs to be resolved. Can you call your hospital director and the chief surgeon or experts to join us and see what the actual problem is?"

"Alright, I’ll call the director."

Then Li Xiang walked into the reception room: "Everyone, don’t worry. I’ve already asked the hospital to contact the main parties responsible. Let’s sit down together to discuss this matter thoroughly."

"Is there even a need to discuss this? Clearly, this is the hospital’s fault. They claim this magnetic levitation artificial heart is the most advanced in the world, but I think it’s experimental and they used our Old Zhao as a guinea pig."

"What exactly happened?"

After questioning the hospital, Li Xiang needed to understand the victim’s family’s perspective.

"A month ago, our Old Zhao said he felt something wrong with his heart, so he went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor diagnosed heart failure and said he needed a heart transplant. But before finding a suitable heart, he’d rely on an artificial one, so they installed this supposedly advanced artificial heart. Who knew it would cause problems in less than a week, and now our Old Zhao is gone. The hospital is shirking all responsibility, completely disregarding the patient’s life."

"How was the patient’s emotional state during this time? Were there any extreme behaviors or triggers?"

"No, we were aware he’d just had surgery, so we dared not provoke him. He stayed in his room, with a professional caregiver watching him 24/7. How could there be an issue?"

Li Xiang nodded. According to the task, neither side seemed at fault; the key problem still lay with that ultra-small magnetic levitation artificial heart.

They’d wait for the experts to arrive and inquire about the situation.

Soon enough, the hospital experts arrived, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense and confrontational.

"This is the chief surgeon, Director He, who operated on Mr. Zhao. If you have any questions, you may ask him."

"You’re just in time. What exactly caused the deceased’s death?"

"Well... based on our inspection of the equipment, we didn’t find any issues with it."

"What do you mean? If the equipment is fine, then are you saying it was our fault? Our kin was essentially killed by your treatment."

Director He only made things worse by speaking, as the family found it unacceptable.

Tempers flared again, and the reception room descended into chaos. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"How about this: if that’s the case, we can have the police forensics team intervene to investigate the cause of death while the health department examines whether the product is compliant. We will ensure justice for the deceased and provide the family with the truth."

Today’s incident had enormous implications, and city leadership was highly focused on it.

The Zhao Group is a star enterprise in the local community, with tremendous social influence. If this issue isn’t handled appropriately, the consequences could be dire.

Various government departments called, expressing their grave concern about the case and hoping the city bureau would manage it properly.

As the situation became increasingly grave and influential, the city bureau immediately set up a special investigation task force, appointing Li Xiang as the team leader to thoroughly investigate this case.

Li Xiang also took the opportunity to request two computer experts from the city bureau, and the leadership approved.

The system’s task prompt indicated that this might be related to a computer artificial intelligence failure, and since he had no knowledge of this area, he naturally needed to leverage experts’ capabilities.

With the establishment of the task force, personnel from all sectors were arranged to join the investigation together.

Meanwhile, the deceased lay in the forensic lab.

Li Xiang had Grandmaster Level skills in forensic medicine and naturally wouldn’t miss this vital information.

Clad in full gear, he stood with the forensic team, ready to perform an autopsy on the deceased to determine the cause of death.

They first checked for any external injuries on the deceased. After completing the body surface examination and collecting all physical evidence from the body surface, they began the thoracic dissection.

For the chest and abdominal cavity dissection, Li Xiang and his team adopted the "straight incision method": the incision started from the midline below the chin, following the neck, chest, and abdominal midline, circling the left side of the navel to the superior pubic area to cut through the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

The main advantage of this dissection method is its convenience and speed, suitable for the vast majority of autopsies. However, a notable downside is that once the autopsy is completed, even when stitched back up, clothing can’t completely cover the entire neck area, often exposing the sutures on the front of the neck, which affects aesthetics.

But none of that mattered to Li Xiang; this wasn’t the real-life Zhao Group chairman—it was a game. Once the task was complete, how could the patients’ family find him?

It’d soon be over.

Soon, the chest cavity was open, revealing the "ultra-small magnetic levitation artificial heart," a silver-white culprit. Even inside the body, it was entirely blood-free, showcasing extreme industrial beauty.

Carefully detaching the device, Li Xiang and his forensic colleagues began examining the cause of death.

"Died of sudden cardiac arrest due to arrhythmia?"
