Chapter 56

autopsy

Because she was still in school and Ling Xiao was a celebrity known to everyone in the school, Ye Lin did not hold her hand as usual, but walked side by side with her on campus.

After all, it was outside, and Ling Xiao didn't say much, just went back to the classroom to pack up his things, and then waved goodbye to his classmates.

The weekend is always in a good mood. Ye Lin worked hard for an evening and made a hearty dinner. After dinner, the two of them nestled on the sofa to watch TV without any new ideas, Ling Xiao leaned on his arms, "called" him to rub his stomach that he had eaten too much for dinner, and said casually:

"I'll go to the funeral home tomorrow morning, and Chen Ji will let me see a corpse."

The hand rubbing her belly paused slightly, and suddenly tightened her waist again, and the man immediately lowered his head, buried his face in her shoulder socket, and grumbled as he rubbed:

"Why did he come to you again......"

"Are you enough?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, turned his head slightly sideways, and glanced at him obliquely, his face suddenly had a hint of a smile but not a smile, and said coolly, "If you dare to take advantage of the opportunity by pretending to be jealous, do you think I am reluctant to beat you?" ”

Although Ling Xiao is smart, it is the first time to get involved in the relationship between men and women, and it is the first time to "fall in love". At first, she was inexperienced, and naively thought that Ye Lin was really jealous, angry and funny; Now that it's been a long time, she has finally slowly come back to her senses-where did Ye Lin, a good-tempered, gentle and generous person, get so much vinegar and delicious?

As soon as her words fell, she didn't know when she had changed from rubbing her stomach to rubbing her waist ambiguously, and suddenly there was a slam of a blow, and almost at the same time, Ling Xiao felt that the arm she was holding was also frozen all of a sudden, and the breathing of the person buried in the side of her neck was slightly disordered.

Ling Xiao didn't speak, and continued to watch TV as if nothing happened.

After a few moments, the hand around her waist finally moved again—a pair of arms slowly wrapped around her, a large palm once again covered her soft belly, and rubbed it gently but regularly, and the man buried in her shoulder socket finally raised his head again and whispered to her:

"Lingxiao."

Ling Xiao said noncommittally, "Huh? "Yes.

Her response seemed to make the man feel that he still had hope of "rescue", and immediately tightened his arms again, leaned over to her, and asked, "Angry?" ”

Ling Xiao turned his head sideways, and saw that the man was very close, and a clear and beautiful eyebrows and eyes almost occupied his entire field of vision in a domineering manner, but between his eyebrows were all cautious temptation and nervousness, obviously full of apprehension.

Ling Xiao still didn't speak, just stared at him fixedly.

Ye Lin seemed to be seen by her as weak and more and more bottomless, but he still didn't dare to let go of any expression on her face, stared at her tightly, and explained in a nervous whisper:

"Actually, it's just a joke, if you don't like it, I won't do this kind of thing again."

In fact, occasionally when he saw Ling Xiao getting too close to other men, he would indeed be jealous - not because he was afraid that she would change his mind, but simply because of the male instinctive possessiveness. But he knows Ling Xiao's character, if he doesn't like himself, he will never be with him; Once together, they will never look at anyone else. And her own "jealousy" will not make her angry and bored, and she can "deceive" many sweet words from her mouth - of course, she must be willing to say it herself before he can "deceive" it.

But she never expected that - this time she seemed to be really angry.

Get away with it!

After all, Ye Lin is an honest and kind person, and he is the first to lose, so he feels more and more sorry at this time, and he is so guilty that he can barely raise his head under the gaze of his girlfriend, and he can't wait to swallow all the jealousy he ate before, and whispered in a hoarse voice:

"Ling Xiao, I ......"

He had just said three words, but the sentence came to an abrupt halt - Ling Xiao, who was still looking at him coldly, didn't know why he actually laughed all of a sudden, and it was still the kind of unabashed, disregarding the image.

Ye Lin was almost a little stunned for a while, as if he couldn't react to what was going on, but Ling Xiao had already restrained his previous unbridled laughter, bent his eyebrows and smiled, while reaching out to pick Ye Lin's chin:

"Well......" she elongated her voice meaningfully, as if she had thought for a moment, before she continued with a smile, "as if I really didn't want to beat you." ”

Ling Xiao usually laughs either casually or unscrupulously, or with some playfulness and meaning, but it is extremely rare to have such a gentle and delicate smile now, which almost dazzles Ye Lin's eyes. Ye Ershao stared at his smiling girlfriend for a long time in a daze, and finally came back to his senses in a trance. Then after more than ten seconds, he seemed to have finally completely digested the meaning of Ling Xiao's words and actions, and his eyes suddenly widened:

"You're pretending to be angry?"

It's just five words, but there is really a smell of gnashing teeth, as if every word is squeezed out of the teeth.

Ling Xiao was not afraid of him at all, and spread his hands with an innocent expression: "I didn't say that I was angry!" ”

The end of the last word was that he didn't have time to spit it out at all, and he was already blocked by the man between the lips and tongues of the two of them tightly - Ye Lin was simply angry and funny, and he was still angry and embarrassed, and when he saw his girlfriend's innocent and cunning appearance, he felt that he had no temper, and he rarely pressed the person on the sofa domineeringly, lowered his head and kissed him.

- Anyway, my girlfriend said that she would definitely not be willing to beat him, so it would be better not to pretend to be jealous and take advantage of him directly!

……

The two hugged each other affectionately and fell asleep together this night. Ling Xiao went out to practice martial arts before dawn as usual, but this time he didn't continue to sleep after coming back, he just put the breakfast he bought in the thermos bucket and warmed it, waited for Ye Lin to wake up and eat breakfast, and then took the bus to the funeral home alone.

Ye Lin didn't ask Chen Ji about coming to her anymore - in fact, even when Ye Lin was jealous and cute, he never asked about her private affairs, he listened to what she wanted to say, and he didn't ask if she didn't want to say.

Ling Xiao is very satisfied with this kind of love situation - they are happy with each other, but they also give each other enough freedom and world.

The location of the funeral home is quite remote, Ling Xiao sent a message to Chen Ji, and then dozed off on the bus and squinted for more than an hour before finally getting off at the terminal.

At this time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, but the surroundings were still deserted, and only a few pedestrians occasionally walked by, but their expressions were not pleasant.

Chen Ji was waiting at the gate, and when he saw her coming, he immediately beckoned to her.

Ling Xiao bowed slightly, obviously the steps under his feet were not big and he was not walking fast, but Chen Ji felt that it was just a trance, and the little girl had already arrived in front of him.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't ask much or say anything to waste time, just simply exchanged a few words with Ling Xiao and immediately took her into the door.

He went straight to the point, and Ling Xiao was naturally happy to be direct, so he changed his clothes without saying a word and followed him into the dissection room.

Chen Ji had obviously been there for a long time, and the body had been taken out, and he was lying flat on the dissecting table at this time.

Ling Xiao walked to the dissection table and lowered her head to look at it—while she was looking at the corpse, Chen Ji was looking at her.

The little girl's expression was calm, her face did not change at all, even if she changed into a mask and an autopsy gown, she couldn't hide her bright and beautiful phoenix eyes, which looked like a huge contrast with the funeral home and the autopsy room.

It's hard to imagine that this is just a seventeen-year-old girl.

Ling Xiao didn't pay attention to him at all, all his attention was on the corpse in front of him.

The deceased was a man in his forties, and because of the autopsy, all the hair on his head had been shaved off and turned into a big bald head, which looked a little funny, but Ling Xiao did not have the slightest smile - human life is at stake, and he can't laugh no matter what.

Earlier, in that document, she had seen detailed photographs and autopsy reports. But she can't actually understand many terms, and there are always a lot of errors in the photos and real objects, so she examines them very carefully and doesn't dare to ignore them in the slightest.

The dissected corpse had now been carefully and carefully stitched together, and at first glance it appeared to be a fairly complete corpse, with no injuries on its body. The cause of death concluded by Chen Ji's autopsy was "sudden cardiac death". After Ling Xiao went home last night, he checked and asked Chen Ji again, and learned that this was a sudden death, usually sudden and unexpected.

What's more, sudden cardiac death is usually a natural death or a non-violent death.

In other words, if it is sudden cardiac death, it is not a case.

"I asked for an autopsy," Chen Qi explained in a low voice, "The deceased was in good health before his death, did not have any history of heart disease, nor did he have any signs of drug poisoning, and it is reasonable that there will be no sudden cardiac death." But I don't have any other strong evidence that it was a homicide. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I just have a gut feeling - this is not a natural death. ”

"Nothing to laugh at." Ling Xiao didn't raise his head, but just replied casually.

Chen Ji smiled, and just wanted to say something more, but suddenly saw the little girl frown slightly and asked softly:

"What is this?"

Chen Qi was stunned, followed her hand and looked down, and saw that there was a small black spot on the upper abdomen under the sternum of the deceased.

"I didn't have this black spot when I dissected it a few days ago." Chen Ji also frowned slightly and thought about it, but quickly had an explanation, "After the corpse is frozen, many scars that were originally not obvious will be highlighted and easily recognized. Is there a problem with this black spot? ”

Ling Xiao didn't answer immediately, just reached out and touched the little black dot, and his brows tightened:

"This place -- it's the dovetail hole."
