Chapter 58: The Cause of Death
[Sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm busy and forgot the time... I punished myself with three glasses... Soy milk... 】
This really made Du Juan and Tang Hongye not even know what kind of reaction to make.
Although the two of them are not very old, they can't talk about being parents and raising children, but they are not born in their twenties, they also grew up with their parents and grandparents, and they have been cared for by the elderly in many families, not to mention the severity of hurting their lives, even if it is an ordinary bump and bump, the old man is distressed, and the severity will be magnified countless times.
First of all, the old couple didn't remember to pick up their granddaughter, and they actually forgot the child in the kindergarten overnight, and after being notified the next day, they also accepted Lin Jie's conditions in a short period of time, and happily gave up the right to hold Fan Jiying accountable for a large amount of money, and even went out to eat with Lin Jie and them...... It's a bit unbelievable.
"What about the child's family besides his grandparents? Didn't the parents show up? Du Juan felt a little strange, generally speaking, even if now due to work pressure, many children are raised and picked up by the elderly, but if there is really any problem, it must be the parents will come forward to solve it, I have never heard of such a big thing in the child, only the grandparents came forward from beginning to end.
"Later, the father from here made a phone call and said that he agreed with his parents' approach, and that the child's accident was purely accidental, so since they could deal with it privately, they would no longer hold the kindergarten responsible." Chen Qiaozhen recalled, "The child's grandparents later sent a note to prove that the child was their own accident, so the family will not hold the kindergarten or Fan Jiying responsible in the future." I originally kept that note, but then Fan Jiying asked me, I thought about it, it would be more appropriate to give her, after all, her husband was responsible for settling this matter, and the main purpose of doing this was not to be afraid of causing trouble to our kindergarten, but to end my wife's troubles, then I couldn't be so ignorant, so I gave the guarantee to Fan Jiying, and later I retired, and she took over from me, and this matter has nothing to do with me. ”
"What was the cause of the child's death at that time?" Du Juan asked Chen Qiaozhen, she felt that a three- or four-year-old child, locked in an empty classroom, would definitely be very frightened, but it was only a night's work, and the next morning it was found that the children were all dead, and there was no room for rescue.
What's more, Du Juan guessed that this kind of accident should not be the kind of fall and hemorrhage, after all, if there was a river of blood at the scene at that time, and the child had a very serious external injury, it would not be easy for Lin Jie to settle it.
"I remember this very clearly," Chen Qiaozhen sighed heavily, "That child, it was a pot of colchick that was placed in the classroom, which was found out during the inspection later, it is estimated that the child was locked here at night, and no one heard her when she was tired of crying, she was so hungry that she was looking for something to eat in the classroom, and there were not only the pots of flowers in the classroom at that time, but also two other pots that I forgot what they were, probably aloe vera and other things, all of which were planted by the teacher. It's all a mess. ”
As soon as they heard the words "colchicum", Du Juan and Tang Hongye felt a chuckle in their hearts, as if they understood everything at once. Lin Kailang's incident this time obviously came from here, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, Lin Kailang who had the accident was Fan Jiying's child, and died of the toxicity of colchicum [HX] base, which is almost the same as the child who had an accident in the kindergarten more than ten years ago.
"This ...... Later, how did Fan Jiying's husband remove the responsibility for this matter from the kindergarten and Fan Jiying? Tang Hongye felt a little incredible, "If it was because of eating colchicum by mistake, it would be impossible for the Public Security Bureau not to find out the cause of death?" How did Fan Jiying and their family dredge up the relationship? ”
"I really know a little bit about this, they didn't go through the Public Security Bureau at that time, Fan Jiying's husband said that it was not easy to go through the Public Security Bureau, so he came directly to which hospital to find someone. I remember saying at the time that after the acquaintance of Fan Jiying's husband in the hospital checked the child's condition, he was also very sorry, saying that if he opened the door an hour or two earlier and found her, maybe he could still be saved, although the flower poisoning would kill people, but it would not die all at once in a short time, and there was a very painful process in between, such as if the child was so young, the time might be shorter than that of an adult, and it would take three or four hours. When the child was taken to the hospital for examination, I heard from the doctor in the hospital that her body temperature was a few degrees lower than the normal body temperature of ordinary people, and it was not cold yet. ”
When the cuckoo heard this, he felt his heart tremble. Chen Qiaozhen may not understand what this sign means, but she does. Even if he is not engaged in specialized forensic work, after all, as a criminal policeman, there are more opportunities to deal with forensic doctors, and when he goes out of the scene, he will also come into contact with some things in this regard, Du Juan knows very well, just like the doctor in the hospital said, the child accidentally ate colchicum should not be particularly early, I am afraid that it is in the early hours of the morning, tired and hungry, will be forced to look for something to eat in the class, after experiencing some painful torture, finally lost the last trace of vitality, And all this is probably only a short time before she is discovered.
You know, Chen Qiaozhen mentioned that the colchicum in the classroom was blooming at that time, and the flowering period of colchicum is from August to October, considering that the kindergarten has a summer vacation, so the child's accident should be in September or October, these two months of city A, the temperature is still relatively pleasant, the room temperature is not lukewarm, even at night does not give people a particularly cold feeling, so in such a room temperature environment, combined with the fact that the body temperature of young children drops faster than adults after death, then this child is taken to the hospital to go through the motions, Indeed, he had just died, not long ago. Cuckoo even had an even more terrible guess, she wondered if the child itself was just dying when it was first discovered, and had not completely lost its last shred of life.
It's just that after the accident, none of the people at the scene considered calling the police or calling an ambulance first, but were afraid that such a big mistake in the kindergarten would cause trouble, so the first to contact Fan Jiying's husband Lin Jie, and the child's pair of grandparents who they already knew were unreliable before, a lot of time was wasted, plus the two sides bargained and negotiated the conditions, and when this group of people finally negotiated the conditions and began to deal with the next step, The child was already in the same condition that the doctor in the hospital saw.
Of course, these can only be assumed now, and there is no way to verify them.
"Fan Jiying's husband doesn't know who he entrusted, anyway, in the end, the child accidentally gnawed on the colchicum planted by her grandparents in her own home, and was poisoned, and the grandparents were uneducated, thinking that the child was just eating bad things, plus he was old, his legs and feet were not particularly convenient, and he didn't want to go out at night, so he didn't rush to take it to the hospital, and wanted to wait for dawn to go, but he didn't expect that the child would not be able to wait until dawn, and when he was sent to the hospital, he was already out of breath and couldn't be saved." Chen Qiaozhen said, "So in this way, it was purely an accident, and then the hospital also issued a death certificate, so I smoothly completed the procedures with the public security bureau, and sent the child to the crematorium for cremation, saying that it was to let the child rest in peace as soon as possible." ”
"Was this before the child's father called, or after?" Tang Hongye asked.
Chen Qiaozhen frowned and thought about it, although this incident impressed her, but after all, so long had passed, and she couldn't remember it so clearly if she answered such a detailed question at once, and she needed to recall it carefully before she could think about it again.
Fortunately, Chen Qiaozhen is only in her sixties, and her memory has not declined too much, after some recollection, she still recalled the order of all the processes at that time: "At that time, Lin Jie first talked to the child's grandparents, and after the grandparents were a little shaken, they called the child's parents, and then talked with Lin Jie for a while. The child's grandparents talked to the child's parents on the phone again, and this time it was estimated that there was no opinion there, so they reached an agreement, and then they went to the hospital for examination, issued various certificates, and sent the child to be cremated. At that time, I was quite concerned about this matter, although I was not directly responsible, but the director of the kindergarten at that time was me, if there was something particularly damaging to the reputation of the kindergarten at this time, I would inevitably have to take responsibility. ”
She dipped her finger knuckles in the corners of her eyes, and gently wiped away the tears that were about to flow out just now: "The biggest shortcoming of my person is that I am timid and have poor endurance, so I was afraid that it would be bad to shake it out at that time, Fan Jiying and her husband also did a lot of work for me later, and told me that the child's family is also half responsible for this matter, so now it is so private, it is good for everyone." I knew that they were afraid that I would shake this matter out, so they pulled me to be their ally, and I didn't want to cause trouble, so I agreed. But for so many years, my conscience has not been at ease, and sometimes when I see a child who looks a little like that child, I feel as if the child is in front of me, and later, I feel that I can't remember what that child looks like, so it becomes a matter of seeing which child looks like that child. ”
She sighed and looked up at the old people on the other side of the room.
"Do you look at my age, like someone who needs to come to live in an old age apartment?" She let out another long sigh, the expression on her face looking depressed and sad, "I think this may be retribution too!" For so many years, I have always had such a knot in my heart, just like I said, I have now forgotten what that child looks like, and as a result, all three or four-year-old children feel like her, before I didn't come to live here, I felt like I was about to have mental problems for a while, I couldn't go out, as long as I went out, whether it was a child in the community, or a road encounter, or a shopping mall and supermarket, all three or four-year-old children, in my opinion, are like that child, It almost broke me, I couldn't sleep night after night. Then I came up with a way to keep my children from seeing my children, and this is it! ”
Du Juan and Tang Hongye also sighed, Chen Qiaozhen, as the director of the kindergarten at the time, did not report it, which must be a very wrong approach, but from a person like her, who has been indirectly involved, she has always had such a knot for so many years, and it has even affected her mental and psychological health, at least it shows that she is a kind person with a good conscience.
On the other hand, what about Fan Jiying? In addition to hearing from Zhang Shuying, at the beginning of the accident, Fan Jiying would wake up from a nightmare because of this incident and needed Lin Jie's comfort and companionship, it seems that he has come out of that incident later, no longer bothered, and his family's small life is still good.
"After all these years, until you retired, that child's family didn't bother anyone about it, did they?" Although the answer to this question is obvious, Tang Hongye still decided to ask Chen Qiaozhen and get a definite answer.
"Well, that family has never appeared again, I don't know the specific number, but I guess Fan Jiying's husband should have given their family a lot of money, so they probably really don't want to care." Chen Qiaozhen's expression was a little complicated and said, it is estimated that on the one hand, she feels that the other party does not pursue this matter, which saves her a lot of trouble and does not have to worry about the damage to her reputation, but on the other hand, she also feels that the family does not care so much about the child's life after receiving the money, which makes people feel very embarrassed and sad.
"Didn't the child's parents show up the whole time they were dealing with this matter?" Cuckoo asked.
"Well," Chen Qiaozhen nodded: "I remember that the grandparents of that family were not very good to the children, and I heard from the kindergarten teacher in the past that the family seemed to think that the child was a girl, so they didn't care much." ”
