Chapter 21: Forensic doctor turns into a ghost story
(Seeking support, fifth update)
At this moment, everyone's most real thought was: what exactly is the situation right now?
Aren't we watching forensics? How did you turn into this situation?
Old Liu was quite calm.
"Generally, we rarely care whether a person is still alive here. Basically, once they enter the crematorium, they just go through the process."
"At that time, when the family brought them in, because they had to wait in line, they let people wait outside. The body was placed in the morgue, and then they prepared to throw it in."
Xiang Qinqin seemed to be telling a very plain and simple story, but as a result, the people at the scene gradually became nervous too.
In the observation room, everyone deepened their breathing involuntarily. No, wait, hold on—is this development too fast?
"When I went to do the numbering, I found the old person still had a bit of breathing—it was just very weak. I went directly to our person in charge. The person in charge was also startled. After coming over, they also discovered this matter."
Cheng Ruofei said: "This is murder."
Xiang Qinqin said: "So, we called the police at that time, but... we were scolded. Scolded very badly, and even had all kinds of trash thrown at us."
Old Liu said: "I can understand. Sigh, it's all caused by illness."
Cheng Ruofei didn't know how to answer.
Xu Xin said: "I roughly understand what it means. The family couldn't take it anymore, couldn't afford to burn money, so they planned to let the old person go first, right?"
Xiang Qinqin said: "Yes, that's what everyone said. But in the end, it was difficult when deciding the case. The victim had already lost consciousness, but the victim was still alive."
"Whether to go the public security and procuratorate route or what, no one knew. Anyway, I didn't hear about this matter later."
"Later, I saw this old person again. It was a year later. The old person was skin and bones and died. But the one who brought them over wasn't that son, but the daughter-in-law."
Daughter-in-law?
Xiang Qinqin nodded and said: "Yes, it was the daughter-in-law. Then, after the old person was cremated, the woman died in our funeral home after drinking poison."
"Later I also heard that the old person's son also died—suicide."
The entire scene fell silent.
Everyone didn't know how to pick up this topic for a while.
The suffering of the world is mostly like this. Perhaps this is what it means to be alive, and also the unwillingness of those who are alive. Why does God treat oneself like this?
"What did you see?"
Xiang Qinqin said: "I don't know. I just... didn't dare to look anymore. I helped the old person, but brought a hardship to the living."
In the studio, Chen Fan had run off at some point.
And at the scene, Chen Fan appeared beside Xiang Qinqin, patted her shoulder, and said: "The ones throwing trash and dirty water were relatives, not the son and daughter-in-law, right?"
"How did you know?"
"Because of guilt. The man took a wrong step, and the woman also took a wrong step. Because of guilt, the man died, and the woman also died. Actually, neither of them could say thank you to you. You stopped them from continuing to commit mistakes."
Xiang Qinqin looked up and said: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Believe me, I might lie to many women, but I will never lie to you."
"Oh, thank you."
Chen Fan didn't say much more and gave Xiang Qinqin a piece of candy.
Then he left.
"Damn it, sand got into my eyes."
"I think Chen Fan is lying. The son might really have had resentment."
"The son's suicide could also be because of the pointing fingers of the nearby villagers."
"But the son tried hard. Damn, it feels like there's no way to calculate it either way."
Old Liu said silently: "Actually, Chen Fan is quite right. It's a matter of mixed good and bad. We just need to think about things in a good way. You don't need to blame yourself or feel guilty."
Xiang Qinqin said: "Actually, this is also the reason I came to be a forensic doctor. I don't want to work at the funeral home anymore. I can't bear to see so much sadness. In forensics, I can help these dead people, but in the funeral home, I can't help these people at all."
Ideals, original intentions—it was just because she was kind, and just because she wanted to help others.
How could such a girl not be likable?
"I'm slow-witted. Studying books, I can't learn even with effort. Memorizing things, I spend ten hours, not as good as others in one hour. But I will work hard."
Old Liu said: "Got it. No need to talk about ideals. Forensics relies on strength. If your strength is weak, put in more effort."
Old Liu's face was cold.
Sympathy, here with Old Liu, completely didn't exist, although he knew that Xiang Qinqin never needed others' sympathy or differential treatment.
Xu Xin said: "I didn't participate in major cases before, just helped the teacher handle bloodstain pattern analysis and determine the time of death. At that time, I found many people wanted to cover up the time of death, but actually, no matter how they covered it up, it couldn't be hidden. Not only that, but they could even leave clues."
Chen Ti said: "The biggest case I did was catching the underwear thief at school."
Everyone looked at Cheng Ruofei. Cheng Ruofei said: "I... haven't encountered any cases. I just read books, just studied... most of the time, I was gnawing on books."
Old Liu nodded and said: "Alright, don't worry about these. I have an idea about what you've said. Now I've simulated a case. Today's assessment is on-site investigation and case handling. Everyone, get ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang. Old Liu picked up the phone, pondered for a moment, and said: "Yes, are you sure?"
"Confirmed. You guys come. We don't have enough manpower, everyone come together."
Old Liu said: "Alright, you don't need to go to the laboratory. That scene can be canceled. I'll take you directly to the scene to help the police find things."
"Um, Teacher, what case is it?"
Old Liu said: "Not clear, but a leg was found at the scene."
????
Wait, is the case this outrageous?
