The Seventh Personality

Missing medical records

March 15, 2024, 6:15 p.m.

In the interrogation room, Wang Desheng's state was unusually calm. In front of him was a glass of water, the bottom of which had settled a little white powder.

"Tell me, about the true identity of the Scavenger." Chen Mingyuan sat opposite.

"Kevin Zhang is too young, too simple." Wang Desheng chuckled, "The real 'scavenger' is the..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly convulsed and his pupils dilated sharply.

"Call the infirmary! Chen Mingyuan rushed to the door, only to find that the door was locked.

By the time the emergency team broke down the door, Wang Desheng had no vital signs. White powder in the cup: cyanide.

"Someone hacked into the surveillance system." The tech team reports, "The last ten minutes have been replaced with a loop."

During the autopsy, Gu Yuwen found that Wang Desheng's medical history had been stuffed into his pocket at some point, and the title page read:

"Remember, doctor, medical records never lie. But people do.

-- Dr. Kevin Chang, duty Doctor, Room 404."

'Wait! Chen Mingyuan turned to the last page of the medical record, "Look at the number of this prescription pad!"

In a series of numbers, "404" stands out. And underneath the number, there was a small line:

"The whole truth is in the backup server in Room 404. But first you have to find the missing records."

New Sea Medical Center Archives.

"It's impossible! The file clerk looked at the computer, "All the 2017 hospital records are there, but the medical records in room 404..."

"It's all gone." Gu Yuwen took the workstation password and began to hack the backup system, "Wait, you look at this login record."

Every night at 3:17 a.m., someone has advanced access to the files in room 404. The IP address came from... The president's office on the top floor of the hospital.

"Interesting." Chen Mingyuan picked up the intercom, "Let people check the personal resume of Chairman Dai Jianguo, especially..."

"Team leader!" Xiao Li burst in, "Just found a top secret document in the hospital garbage disposal station!"

The title of the document is "Final Report of the Sequoia Project" :

"Experiments have shown that through specific drugs and psychological stimulation, personality reconstruction can be completed within 72 hours... The experimental subjects are mostly children, and the success rate of transformation..."

On the last page, there was a photograph: Dai Jianguo meeting with a senior military official. A young intern looms in the corner.

"That's..." Gu Yuwen gasped, "Zhang Kaiwen's father! He's with the military..."

Between the flash of fire, Chen Mingyuan remembered what: "Check Zhang Kaiwen's father's death!"

The results came quickly: on March 17, 2017, he died in a car accident. Location: Rear entrance of Shinhai Medical Center.

With a "ding", Gu Yuwen's computer received an encrypted email:

"Dear officers,

You want to know where the ten missing samples are?

Room 404, tonight at 12:00.

The chairman will be here. After all... Today is the anniversary of his signing of the Sequoia Project.

Don't worry, this exhibition is special.

PS: Dr. Gu, was the investigation into the car accident that your father was involved in forced to be suspended?

- The scavenger."

Gu Yuwen's hand began to shake. No one knew that her father resigned abruptly after investigating Kevin Zhang's father's car accident.

Just then, the hospital announcer blared:

"President Dai informed that there will be an important meeting tonight in Room 404 to discuss the Sequoia Project follow-up."

In the security footage, Dai Jianguo is locking the safe. In the safe, there's a stack of original medical records from 2017.

And the clock on the wall is pointing to 6:40 p.m.
