Chapter 54

Taisu nine needles

The man lying on the ground looked to be quite old, about seventy or eighty years old; Although the clothes on the body are not conspicuous, both the material and the cut are excellent, and it is obvious that the family background should be very good. He was already in a coma by this time, lying on the ground with a pale face, his lips and nails faintly blue, and he looked almost oozing.

Ling Xiao withdrew the hand that was pressed on his wrist, furrowed his brow slightly, and leaned over to look at his tongue and face. The person on the other side seemed to have just finished checking at this time, his brows were tightly locked, as if he had encountered some problem, and said in a low voice:

"It looks like a coma caused by myocardial ischemia."

What he said was the terminology of Western medicine, Ling Xiao didn't understand it too well, so he only answered vaguely at this time, didn't pay much attention to him, wrinkled his brows and groaned slightly, and soon made a decision.

"Untie his coat." While whispering a word, the little girl lowered her head and took out a small and delicate cloth bag from her bag.

The person on the other side was stunned, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that the little girl rarely frowned and looked solemn, and inexplicably her heart jumped, and she subconsciously stopped her mouth and silently followed her words.

The daytime temperature in May is not low, but the elderly are weak and unable to stand the cold, and they wear a rather thick coat. The man quickly unbuttoned the old man's clothes, opened all the plackets of his clothes, and when he looked up again, he saw that Ling Xiao had already opened the cloth bag and took out a roll of cloth from it.

No, it's not a roll of cloth - it's stuck one by one, neatly arranged like a ...... Steel needles for acupuncture? But the brightness and luster are not like the stainless steel needles commonly used now, but like ...... The texture of sterling silver. The man was stunned, but Ling Xiao didn't pay attention to him, just pursed his lips and raised his hand quickly-

She held the silver needle in her hand, and almost without looking, she quickly pierced the needles into the old man's acupuncture points. The texture of sterling silver was originally extremely soft and no longer suitable for acupuncture and moxibustion, but at this moment, in her hand, it seemed to be harder than a steel needle, and it easily penetrated the T-shirt that the old man was still wearing and pierced into the skin.

Pricking needles, twisting needles - all in one go. Her movements were so fast that he could barely see them until he had settled his mind and looked at them again—her hand was always steady and not trembling.

It was at this time that the ambulance horn sounded. The crowd of onlookers was originally well-intentioned, but when they saw the arrival of the medical staff, they quickly dispersed to both sides and made way for a wide passage. The doctor and a few nurses hurried in on stretchers.

The man looked at the little girl who was still concentrating on the needle, remembered what he had heard from several policemen a year ago, and did not hesitate for too long, and soon made a decision - he simply stood up and stopped the medical staff who were striding on a stretcher.

"I'm Chen Ji from the forensic department of the provincial department," he said, pulling out his work card. As soon as they heard the words "forensic department", the faces of several medical staff changed slightly. Chen Ji knew that these people were probably all associated with their work, so he shook his head with a wry smile, but still explained in detail, "It has nothing to do with work, I just passed by after work and happened to see someone fainting." The patient is now in emergency care, and I think a few people should wait a while. ”

When a few people heard this, they knew that they were not involved in any murder, and their faces suddenly returned to normal. After politely greeting and looking over the man's shoulder, he saw that someone was acumulating the patient not far away, and the person who gave the needle was still a little girl—she looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old at most.

The doctor headed by "This ......" immediately frowned, but because of Chen Qi's identity, he seemed to be trying to suppress his anger, but his tone still carried a fierce momentum of "Xingshi asks for guilt", "Section Chief Chen, let a teenage girl do the so-called acupuncture, this is too nonsense!" Although you are a forensic doctor, you are also a doctor, don't you know how to give first aid at such a time? Human life is at stake, how can you joke? Hurry up ......"

He was aggressive, and before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by several colleagues and prevented him from talking. Chen Ji still looked gentle and didn't seem to be angry, but when he finished speaking, he nodded: "Human life is at stake, I believe she will never mess around." And don't judge a qiē by age. ”

The little girl's eyes when she looked at the patient were a kind of compassion and solemnity that was almost "empathetic", and there could never be any jokes.

"But......" the doctor frowned, as if he was still dissatisfied, but was suddenly interrupted by an exclamation from the crowd:

"Hey, look! He's awake! ”

A few people stepped forward quickly, and sure enough, they saw that the old man who was originally unconscious was slowly opening his eyes and was gradually waking up.

Ling Xiao was asking the old man in a warm voice at this time, "How are you feeling now?" "What's wrong with that?" -- His expression and tone of voice were more gentle and patient than ever.

Several medical staff stepped forward to roughly check the old man's physical condition, and seeing that his condition was much better than he had imagined, his expression could not help but relax a lot, and carefully carried him onto a stretcher and put him in an ambulance - after all, he had been in a coma, and although he was now awake, he still had to go to the hospital for a good examination.

The old man had woken up and had already called his son, so Ling Xiao and the others didn't have to follow him into the ambulance. The crowd of onlookers had slowly dispersed and gone home, watching the ambulance drive away from his sight, Chen Ji turned his head to look at Ling Xiao and nodded at her:

"Thanks to you today."

"It's nothing, people's lives are at stake, just wake up." Ling Xiao waved her hand indifferently, while she had already put her needle back in her bag - she used to carry it with her in her sleeves, but now that there is no wide robe and big sleeves in this era, she still can't change the habit of carrying it with her, and always puts it in her bag from time to time, just in case.

Chen Ji smiled, and seemed to ask casually: "Your needle is sterling silver?" ”

Ling Xiao didn't hide it, and responded casually.

"Sterling silver needles, it's hard to see now." Chen Ji sighed, seeing that Ling Xiao didn't seem to have the intention of answering, he didn't say much, just nodded and waved goodbye to Ling Xiao and Ye Lin behind her:

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back."

Ling Xiao nodded, said goodbye to him, and when he turned around, he saw Ye Lin looking at him with a somewhat complicated look.

"What's wrong?" Ling Xiao was a little funny.

"This person is the chief of the forensic department who called at the time?" Ye Lin frowned, obviously still remembering the incident of a year ago.

Ling Xiao responded.

Ye Lin's brows furrowed even tighter: "You guys are very familiar?" ”

――I don't talk much, but I always look at each other.

Ling Xiao was stunned, raised his head and stared at him for a long time, then he couldn't help but burst out laughing, took his hand with his fingers interlocked, and walked briskly towards home:

"I'm not familiar with him, today is the second time we meet, I'm not familiar at all, I'll forget him tomorrow after sleeping!"

Her tone is narrow, where can Ye Lin not hear it? The man coughed heavily in embarrassment, looked down at his and the little girl's fingers, and seemed to feel that he was too naïve, and shook his head helplessly, and laughed as well.

……

A week later, on Friday afternoon, in a police car at the gate of the Provincial Public Security Department, Zhang Cheng turned his head sideways and frowned at Chen Ji, who had gotten into the car with him:

"I was asked to give a lecture on public security to the students of No. 1 Middle School, what are you doing here?"

"Find someone." Chen Ji didn't seem to mind his cold face, and still looked calm, "Do you remember the little girl in the case in Yunting Park a year ago?" ”

That girl, whether it is her appearance or how she behaves, is hard to forget. Even after a year, he obviously still remembers it vividly. Zhang Cheng's face suddenly sank slightly: "She committed an accident?" ”

"You like- have a prejudice against her?" Chen Qi didn't answer the rhetorical question, and his tone was a little rare surprise and inquiry.

Zhang Cheng was silent for a while and did not answer.

Chen Ji didn't ask, just smiled, and quickly explained good-naturedly: "There is a case where I can't find the cause of death, I want to find her to see, maybe there will be gains." ”

"Looking for her?" Zhang Cheng was stunned, and his stereotyped face was a little shocked.

"I said Lao Zhang, don't you usually go online?" Chen Ji glanced at him with some amusement, and he didn't know what he thought of, so he found his mobile phone and fiddled with it for a while, and then handed it to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang took over his mobile phone and saw a small video playing on it—a little girl in a black dress half-squatting on the ground, using her hand like electricity, giving needles to an unconscious old man. A few minutes later, the crowd of onlookers exclaimed, "Hey, look! He's awake! The old man on the ground really opened his eyes slowly.

"Even last weekend, I was there. I didn't pay attention at the time, but later I saw someone taking a picture on the Internet - you probably don't know that the little girl has become very popular on Weibo recently. I'm afraid someone recognized her, so I filmed it. Chen Ji patiently explained a few words, Zhang Cheng withdrew from the video and pulled down, and saw the comments of "The male ticket is handsome and crying!" He immediately frowned, not knowing what this meant.

Chen Ji didn't seem to have any intention of explaining to him, just paused slightly, but his expression suddenly became solemn: "In the past week, I have found a lot of experts and famous Chinese medicine practitioners and shown them this video. ”

Zhang Cheng put down his phone and turned his head to look at him, obviously waiting for the result of what he was going to say next.

"Unbelievable." Chen Ji actually used these four words to describe this. Seeing that Zhang Cheng was still looking at himself with some puzzlement, he immediately explained in detail: "Through a layer of clothing, the accuracy of recognizing acupoints is not inferior to the old doctor with decades of experience; But the speed of the shot and the stability of the needle are far from being comparable to the old doctor. ”

Having experience has advantages, but it also has disadvantages - when you are older, you will inevitably be dazzled and shaky, and your body will not be enough.

Chen Qi paused, and quickly continued: "There is another point, the video is not clear, but I was present at the time, and the needle she used was pure silver." You know how soft sterling silver is. So I reported the situation, and the leader approved it. ”

"Lao Chen, you said that I have a prejudice against her, that's right." Zhang Cheng was silent for a while, and suddenly opened the topic, "She has murderous and bloody aura on her." ”
