Chapter 355
"Since someone died, naturally we need you."
"Is there no other forensic doctor? You're looking for me?"
"The one who died was a mentally disabled child, hit by a car—and hit twice, there are eyewitnesses, but... sigh, you'll understand once you get here."
Chen Fan nodded.
Taking their things, the two headed straight out.
Old Song was surprised—this time, without Old Liu's approval, Chen Fan had already taken action.
This meant Old Liu has already accepted that Chen Fan could act alone.
In the observation room, Qin Ming said, "Good news and bad news. The good news is, the case on Chen Yishou's side is progressing fast; a lot of people are going to be dealt with."
"The bad news?"
Qin Ming said, "The bad news is, we discovered it too late—irregular operations, quite a few people died."
Everyone fell silent for a long while; this matter was still rather heavy on the heart.
At this point, Song Zuer said, "Let's skip that matter. Huh, is this a car accident over here?"
Everyone looked at the screen; under the camera, the car accident scene appeared before their eyes.
The driver had already fled; on the roadside there was only a child, collapsed in a pool of blood, and inside the bamboo basket on his back, there were still some tissues.
Tissue packs and such.
Chen Fan walked over, crouched by the roadside, looked carefully at the child's legs, compared them seriously, and said, "The degree of bending in this leg doesn't feel like it was caused by a car accident."
Old Song said, "Mm, this child—I often saw him selling things around here, many times. Then this time he got hit by a car. Actually, we don't need you, the forensic doctor, to come, but I wanted you to come and take a look."
Chen Fan nodded and said, "I need a forensic autopsy to judge. Are there any family members of the child?"
"No family. He grew up eating from a hundred households. These tissue packs were given to him by nearby shopkeepers, telling him to go sell them. Actually, it's just everyone's kindness—buy some to take home. The money, the boss would turn into meals; nearby restaurants would give this child meals at a cheaper price. Though cheap, he could eat his fill."
The conversation gradually grew heavy.
Chen Fan picked up the child from the ground, gently placed him on the stretcher, and said, "Specifically, I need to go back and do an autopsy to know. Is there proof from the car accident scene? Also, Old Song, what exactly did you have investigated?"
"You'll know once you do the autopsy."
Chen Fan was helpless.
He brought the body back.
The cause of the child's death was actually very simple: a comminuted fracture of the chest. At the moment of impact, a bone spur pierced straight through the heart, and then the child died.
By the time of the second run-over, the child was already dead.
Actually, by normal standards, this autopsy should have ended here, but Chen Fan took a scalpel and cut open the skin on the child's leg.
Then, examining the child's legs, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Old Song watched from the side and said, "What is it?"
Chen Fan said, "Congenital—no, acquired. It was broken by someone, then grew back like this, deliberately made to grow crooked."
"Here, and here—there are fixed marks. This is clearly deliberately done."
At this moment, the people in the livestream room held their breath.
Everyone thought of something terrifying.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure. I'll take responsibility for my words. But why it grew crooked, I'm not sure. But it was definitely broken by someone. Who broke it, I'm not sure. But the scars weren't formed in a day or two."
Chen Fan pointed at some scars.
"These, here, here, and here—all of them. The scars have been there for years."
Old Song silently lit a cigarette.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a group of children said cautiously, "Um, is Chen Fan here?"
Chen Fan stood directly by the autopsy table, blocking the view.
He quickly walked out and said, "Let's talk outside."
A group of children carrying backpacks stood in the hallway, looking at Chen Fan.
0...... 0
"You're looking for me because?"
"Just came to see Xiaoqiang."
Chen Fan was speechless and said, "Xiaoqiang had an accident—you all know that, right?"
"Mm, we know. Just wanted to know if there's any chance of him coming back."
After speaking, several children took out money, handed it to Chen Fan, and said, "Money we pooled together."
Chen Fan was speechless, silently took the money, and said, "Let's treat it as funeral expenses, alright?"
"Mm, okay."
The child at the front had tears in his eyes.
Chen Fan said, "How do you all know Xiaoqiang?"
"We saw Xiaoqiang after school before, saw him selling tissues here, so we thought, each of us pitches in a little, and every day we can buy some tissues, and Xiaoqiang can eat his fill."
The boys, in their most simple way, were protecting this child.
Looking after the child.
Chen Fan reached out, patted the child's forehead, and said, "You all did very well. Oh, and remember to go home later, stay safe."
Several children nodded and left with their backpacks.
Old Song lit a cigarette nearby and said, "The person is still being caught. The car was found, but the person ran."
Chen Fan said, "It's not this person you want me to investigate, is it?"
Old Song nodded.
Chen Fan straightened his clothes and said with the tools in hand, "Take me to this child's first home."
"Alright."
"I mean the first home, not this current one with the house—this child's original home."
Old Song continued nodding.
Chen Fan followed Old Song, and under the camera's lens, they arrived at a garbage station, where a small shack appeared before Old Song's eyes.
What stunned them was that inside the shack lay a young girl, no older than a few years, dazed and unaware.
At that moment, the livestream audience held their breath.
Fuck me, holy shit.
Chen Fan rushed over, picked up the child, and shone his flashlight on her.
Old Song asked seriously, "Is she alright?"
"Good news and bad news—this child has no issues; she's growing well and is perfectly healthy."
