The Genius Female Forensic Pathologist, The Psychological Anatomist

The next day, Fang Rui noticed that Wang, who was usually punctual, was late for work. Just as he was about to call to ask what was going on, Wang's call came through.

"Boss, I need to report a crime!"

"Aren't you a policeman yourself?"

"There's another medical disturbance. They're threatening to attack the doctor and my girlfriend. You need to bring people over quickly," Wang's voice suddenly became softer, "Hey, hey, don't get physical. I'm a police officer. Let's talk this out... Don't push me. I've trained, and if you push me again, I'll fight back..."

The phone suddenly disconnected.

Fang Rui quickly gathered his team and headed to the Jiangzhou University Second Affiliated Hospital. The scene of the disturbance was in Ward 806 of the Neurology Department on the 8th floor of Building 7 in the inpatient department.

Six or seven family members of a patient had cornered two doctors and a nurse inside the ward, with Wang shielding his girlfriend Chen Shu in front of him.

The family members weren't physically attacking anyone, but they were blocking the way, preventing the medical staff from leaving the ward.

Seeing the police arrive, the leader, a young man, said, "Officer, we're not here to cause trouble. We just want the doctors to explain how my grandfather passed away."

Doctor Zhang Yingying, looking helpless, replied, "Mr. Sun, I've explained this to you many times. This was an unexpected situation, and we're still investigating the cause."

"You're just fooling us. The internet says that your hospital recently caused the death of a little boy, and not only did you not give an explanation, but you also had the police arrest the family members."

Fang Rui explained, "We detained that family member because he hid the body, which hindered our investigation."

"Officer, you must look into this properly. Why did my grandfather suddenly pass away? He was fine the day before, and there's no reason for him to be gone the next day. And the caregiver said it happened while he was on an IV drip."

The grandson of the deceased pulled a bottle of liquid out of a bag, "This is the IV drip my grandfather was on. I was afraid the hospital would tamper with it, so I secretly kept it."

Fang Rui put on gloves and placed the bottle into an evidence bag.

Doctor Zhang said, "They couldn't have tampered with the IV drip to frame our hospital, could they?"

"What could we do? We don't know anything about medicine!"

Fang Rui addressed the family members, "We will conduct an investigation. But you are not allowed to cause trouble."

"Officer, we'll leave it to you then."

Fang Rui learned that the attending doctor of the deceased was Zhang Yingying. Interestingly, the assistant doctor for the Ye family's old grandmother was also named Zhang Yingying.

Fang Rui asked Zhang Yingying, "Doctor Zhang, do you know Ye Jianmin?"

Doctor Zhang squinted and thought for a moment, then said, "No, I don't."

“Isn't he one of your assisted individuals?”

"Oh, you mean him. Yes, I know him."

"His mother passed away, do you know that?"

"Is that so? It's been a busy half-year, and I haven't been to his place much."

Mu Mian examined the body of the deceased. The patient had been staying in the intensive care unit, where three elderly patients, all bedridden, were cared for by caregivers.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The deceased was named Sun Guanghua, who had been bedridden for years. He was emaciated, with sunken cheeks and lips, and his skin was covered in age spots. The sheets and blanket were wet—he had sweated profusely before his death.

From the external features of the body, Mu Mian could not determine the cause of death.

Mu Mian requested to take the body back for further examination, but the family of Sun Guanghua firmly refused.

"No, you can't dissect my father's body. It's very disrespectful to him." Sun Guanghua's son blocked the way.

Mu Mian said, "Without dissecting the body, I can't determine the exact cause of death."

"Aren't you a forensic doctor? Can't you do that?" Sun Guanghua's son looked at Fang Rui, "Officer, this young lady is too inexperienced. You should get an older forensic doctor!"

Doctor Zhang said, "Even if you brought Song Ci (a famous historical forensic doctor) here, it wouldn't help! Without dissecting the body, there's no way to know the cause of your father's death."

The family members of Sun Guanghua huddled together and whispered for a while, then Sun Guanghua's son came forward and insisted, "I don't care. My father's death was definitely caused by the hospital, but you are not allowed to dissect his body!"

The family members surrounded the bed, shielding the body and firmly preventing Fang Rui and his team from getting close.

Mu Mian compromised, "Then can we take the body for an MRI? I also need to draw blood samples for testing."

"That's fine! Forensic doctor, you must help us find the real cause of my father's death!"

Doctor Zhang said, "Mu Mian, I can accompany you for the investigation."

"Okay."

After Mu Mian and Chen Xue left, Fang Rui and his team questioned the caregivers. The three elderly patients in the ward were all cared for by male caregivers.

Sun Guanghua's caregiver said, "At around three in the morning, Mr. Sun suddenly started sweating profusely. I called the nurse, who took a long time to arrive. Then she went to get the doctor. Doctor Zhang wasn't on duty that night; it was another male doctor. He took a look and said to check the blood sugar and do a blood test to see what was going on. The nurse said the blood sugar was very low, so she changed the IV drip. Then, while Mr. Sun was on the drip, he fell into a coma and soon stopped breathing."

The other caregivers also said, "Mr. Sun's blood sugar had always been normal before, but it suddenly dropped like that last night, which was quite strange."

Wang said, "Sun Guanghua's children are quite filial. They've never given up on his treatment despite him being bedridden for so many years."

The caregivers chuckled but didn't respond.

Wang felt there was something special in their laughter and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

One of the caregivers whispered, "Officer, you're thinking too highly of people. This old man's retirement salary is over fifteen thousand yuan, and most of the medical expenses are covered by insurance. After deducting the four thousand yuan for the caregiver, the rest is split among his children."

Wang was stunned.

"These old people are kept alive by medication. If the respirator and drugs are stopped, they usually don't survive more than a day. But their children still desperately try to keep them alive. Is it because of their conscience? No, it's for the benefit. If these old people left behind an inheritance, they'd be gone by now!"

Leaving the ward, Wang sighed, "Alas, human nature can't withstand the test of interest."

With Doctor Zhang's help, Mu Mian and her team were able to use the green channel and quickly completed various tests on the body.

They then returned the body to the ward.

In the corridor on the 8th floor, a middle-aged male doctor saw Chen Xue and paused, suddenly calling out to her, "Xiao Xue, why are you here?"

Doctor Zhang addressed the man, "Director Chen."

Chen Xue didn't respond.

Director Chen looked awkwardly at Chen Xue for a moment before leaving.

Doctor Zhang asked, "Chen Xue, are you related to Director Chen?"

Chen Xue shook her head, "No, I have no relationship with him. I don't know him."

"Alright."

After returning the body to Sun Guanghua's family, Mu Mian and Chen Xue sat on the chairs in the corridor, waiting for the test reports.

Mu Mian whispered, "Chen Xue, why did you lie just now?"

Chen Xue laughed helplessly, "Was it that obvious?"

"Yes."

"Mian Mian, that man is my father, but he cheated on my mother and abandoned our family. I hate him. So I didn't want others to know about our relationship."

"Alright, I'll keep it a secret for you." Mu Mian thought for a moment and comforted her, "He's very unfortunate because he lost a very excellent forensic doctor as a daughter."

"Mian Mian, thank you for comforting me. But he doesn't think I'm excellent. When I was little, I wasn't a good student, and he often said I didn't seem like his daughter. He said my mother's inferior genes ruined his superior genes, and his child should have been a genius." Chen Xue spoke calmly.

Later, Chen Xue worked very hard to study. She thought she had become good enough, but when she met Mu Mian, she realized the gap between ordinary people and geniuses. However, she didn't envy Mu Mian, because Mu Mian was also working hard to be normal.

"He's not a good father!"

"Yes."

"Chen Xue, you need to forget what he said."

"I'll try to forget."
