Ye Qiu hurriedly put on his clothes, opened the door, and saw Ge Dazhuang standing outside the door. He asked, “What’s the matter?”
”Twenty minutes ago, Chen Laosan died. The situation is the same as those previous deceased. He danced and then gasped his last breath.” Ge Dazhuang said, “Doctor Ye, shall I take you to the Chen family to have a look?”
”Okay.”
As soon as Ye Qiu agreed, Lao Xiang, Fu Yanjie, and Su Xiaoxiao also put on their clothes and came out of the room.
”Village Chief Ge, I just heard you say someone died. Who died?” Lao Xiang asked.
”Chen Laosan died.” Ge Dazhuang said.
Fu Yanjie’s eyes widened and he said, “No way. During the day, Chen Laosan was still with us. How could he die?”
”He really died. Just like those other strangely deceased people, without any warning.” Ye Qiu ordered, “Lao Xiang, you guys take all the things and prepare to do an autopsy on Chen Laosan.”
Lao Xiang immediately went back to the room with Fu Yanjie to get things.
Ye Qiu then said, “Xiaoxiao, you just stay at home and have a good rest.”
Su Xiaoxiao immediately hugged Ye Qiu’s arm and said, “Director, I want to be with you. I’m scared.”
Ye Qiu said, “Don’t be afraid. Uncle Ge’s house is very safe. You stay at home and don’t go out.”
”No, I just want to be with you.” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t let go of Ye Qiu’s arm.
Ge Dazhuang gave Su Xiaoxiao a cold look and said, “We’re not going to watch a show, but to a death scene. Do you still want to go?”
“course I want to go!” Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m a doctor. Only at the scene can a doctor better find out the cause of the deceased’s death.”
Ge Dazhuang added, “It’s late at night and there are many snakes in the fields. What if you get bitten by a snake?”
“Village Chief Ge, you’d better worry about yourself more. I’m so cute. How could a snake bear to bite me?” Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
“Snakes like to bite little girls with delicate skin and tender flesh like you the most.”
“That’s not necessarily true. Snakes have eyes and can tell who is good-looking and who is not.”
Ge Dazhuang’s eyebrows twitched and he said in a deep voice, “What do you mean? Are you saying that I’m ugly?”
“Isn’t it?” Su Xiaoxiao giggled.
“You little girl, not only did you scold me, but you also seduced my nephew’s husband. You’re simply shameless.”
“Who are you calling shameless?” Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes suddenly turned cold and she stared at Ge Dazhuang and said, “Say it again and see.”
“Do you think I don’t dare? I…” Ge Dazhuang suddenly noticed Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes and his heart tightened. He forcibly swallowed the words behind.”
For some reason, Ge Dazhuang only felt that Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes were like the eyes of a poisonous snake, extremely cold and making his spine shiver.
Is this woman really just a doctor?
How could she have such a terrifying gaze?
“Xiaoxiao, since you’re going, then be careful.” Ye Qiu said.
“Thank you, Director.” Su Xiaoxiao smiled happily.
At this time, Lao Xiang and Fu Yanjie both came out carrying backpacks.
“Let’s go.” Ge Dazhuang said, and then led everyone in a hurry to the Chen family.
The Chen family lives in the eastmost part of the village head, in a big tile-roofed house.
When Ye Qiu and the others arrived, the coffin was parked in the middle of the main room, and a middle-aged woman in her fifties was crying while leaning on the coffin.
On the chair next to it, there was an old man sitting, smoking a pipe and wiping away tears.
Inside and outside the house, there were also several young and middle-aged men helping.
Seeing this scene, Ge Dazhuang’s nose felt sour, and he said, “Third Chen didn’t even marry a wife and just left. His parents won’t even have someone to see them off in the future.”
“I really can’t believe it. During the day, he was still chatting and laughing with us. How could he be gone in the blink of an eye?” Lao Xiang was also very sad.
Fu Yanjie followed and said, “Third Chen was a good person. During the day, he even picked oranges for us to eat.”
“Yes, Third Chen was indeed a good person. It’s just a pity that good people don’t live long, while bad people live for thousands of years.” Su Xiaoxiao sighed.
Ye Qiu turned his head and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. Her words seemed to imply something?
“Dr. Ye, please, no matter what, you must help us investigate this matter clearly.” Ge Dazhuang pleaded.
Ye Qiu said solemnly: “Uncle Ge, don’t worry, I will definitely find the truth and comfort the spirits of Chen Laosan and those deceased in heaven.”
“Thank you.”
Ge Dazhuang thanked and led the way into the house. He comforted Chen Laosan’s parents for a while and then introduced the identities of Ye Qiu and the others one by one.
As soon as they heard that Ye Qiu was the captain of the medical team and came specifically to investigate the matter in Mogang Village, Chen Laosan’s parents “thumped” and knelt down in front of Ye Qiu, tearfully saying:
“Dr. Ye, please, you must find the murderer who killed my son.”
“When my son died, his eyes were still open. He died with regret!”
Ye Qiu quickly helped up Chen Laosan’s parents and said: “Don’t worry, both of you. I will definitely investigate the matter clearly.”
Then.
Ye Qiu asked Chen Laosan’s mother again, “Auntie, you just said that Chen Laosan was killed. Is there any evidence?”
Chen Laosan’s mother said: “When my son came home at night, he was fine. When having dinner, he even had a couple of drinks with his father. But when we all went to sleep, suddenly there was movement in the main room.”
“When we came out to take a look, my son was actually, was actually… dancing!”
“His father and I immediately called him, but no matter how we called him, he seemed not to hear and continued dancing. After a while, he was gone.”
”Doctor Ye, you said he wasn’t killed. Then how did he die?”
So there was no evidence, just speculation.
”Auntie, I want to open the coffin to do an autopsy on Chen Laosan. Do you think it’s okay?” Ye Qiu said.
Chen Laosan’s mother hesitated and asked, “Doctor Ye, does an autopsy require opening the stomach?”
”No need.” Ye Qiu said, “The deceased is the most important. We won’t let Chen Laosan lose a single hair. Besides, he is still our friend.”
The old woman then let out a sigh of relief and nodded.
”Lao Xiang, Xiao Pang, you guys help out.”
Ye Qiu, Lao Xiang, and Fu Yanjie together lifted the coffin lid and carefully placed it on the ground.
Then, the three put on white gloves, lifted Chen Laosan out of the coffin, untied the shroud on Chen Laosan’s body, and began to do the autopsy.
Twenty minutes later.
The autopsy was completed.
”How is it?” Ye Qiu asked.
Lao Xiang shook his head, indicating that he didn’t find anything.
Fu Yanjie whispered, “Director, I’m afraid an autopsy is necessary.”
”There’s no need.” Ye Qiu said, “I’ve already looked. There are no obvious scars on Chen Laosan’s body, and he didn’t get poisoned either. Even if we do an autopsy, we won’t get any results.”
”Then how did Chen Laosan die?” As soon as Fu Yanjie asked this question, everyone looked at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu said, “To be honest with you, I don’t know how he died either.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
“This shouldn’t be. The corpse is right in front of us. How could there be no clue at all? Director, did we miss something?” Old Xiang asked.
“I only found one problem, that is, before Chen Laosan died, his blood circulation was very fast, which should be related to his dancing.” Ye Qiu said: “Other than that, this corpse is very normal.”
For a while, everyone’s mood was a little low.
This kind of death is too strange!
Suddenly, Ye Qiu said: “Although the autopsy didn’t yield any results, the truth is not far from us.”
