Chapter 182: Investigate the cause of death
A doctor in a white coat walked up to Wu Shufang, squatted down, checked Wu Shufang's pupils, and then did other tests. Finally stand up.
"How?" A gray-haired leader asked.
"There are no vital signs, Dean Yu." The doctor said.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure." The doctor nodded.
"Then take it to the morgue. Hurry up and contact the parents here, Dean Ai. The aftermath must be dealt with. I'll report this to my superiors. Dean Yu said. Dean Yu is the leader of the college.
"I'll take care of it, Dean Yu." Dean Ai said. Dean Ai is Ai Sadako's father, Professor Ai.
"Also, you inform Director Ma to investigate the cause and effect of the incident, and you have to give an explanation to the parents."
"I will."
My head was buzzing.
Two men dressed in white carried Wu Shufang onto a stretcher. They carried Wu Shufang outside the school. The hospital is just across the street from the college.
I followed them out of school. He was accompanied by the head teacher and Principal Ai and two other school leaders.
"You don't want to come here. I went to contact the hospital. You hurry up and get in touch with your parents. Dean Ai said to the head teacher.
"Good. I went back and flipped through the address book, but I didn't know if Wu Shufang had a phone number at home. The head teacher said
"It can also be called to the parent's unit. Ask the unit to send someone to notify. Dean Ai said.
"Dean Ai, Wu Shufang's father is in the provincial capital." I say.
"How do you know?" The head teacher said.
"He's with the director of the health department." I added.
"Is it the Provincial Health Bureau? Or the Department of Health? Which director is it? Dean Ai asked me.
"It should be the Department of Health. Director Liu. I said.
"Then you should contact the health bureau as soon as possible. Dean Yu was about to report this matter to the bureau. Dean Ai instructed a leader. The leader immediately turned and left.
"Do you want to contact the Public Security Bureau?" Another leader asked.
"Dean Yu will consider it."
Arriving at the hospital, Wu Shufang was carried into the morgue. Dean Ai went to the relevant person in charge. I sat down with the head teacher and another leader on a row of chairs in the aisle.
"How could this happen, Director Cheng? I've never encountered anything like this in all my years as a teacher. "The head teacher was very annoyed.
"yes, that's a surprise." Director Cheng said, "Could it be that she was stimulated by something?" Like falling out of love or something. ”
"How do we know about such a thing? College students fall in love all the time. By the way, Zheng Qihang, isn't Wu Shufang the best relationship with you? It seems that they are still fellow villagers. "The head teacher asked me.
"I had dinner with Wu Shufang and her father at noon today." I was a little nervous. But I still don't want to hide too much.
"That's right. So didn't there be anything unpleasant going on in between? ”
"yes." Director Cheng added.
"Nope. I didn't want to go to class because I had some alcohol, so I went back to my rented house to rest. She went straight to the academy. She also promised to help me ask for leave from the teacher. "My heart was beating fast," I was in a daze, and Xu Zhengping came knocking on my door, and I knew something like this had happened. ”
"That's weird, then she must have encountered something unpleasant when she went back to school. Her classmates in the same dormitory may know this. Teacher Hu, remember to ask her classmates in the same dormitory. Director Cheng said.
"I'll remember. I don't know if she went back to the dormitory halfway through. Zheng Qihang, when did Wu Shufang send you to where you live? The head teacher said.
"This ......," my heart beat faster, "I, I drank too much to remember." ”
"Think about it. I guess you're out for lunch, and you'll be coming back late. The head teacher further analyzed.
"I don't really remember exactly." I got up from the row of chairs to hide my panic.
The head teacher and Director Cheng glanced at each other. I took a few steps forward.
The door to the morgue is closed. I imagined Wu Shufang lying inside, and for a moment I couldn't believe that she had really left the world. She was indirectly killed by me. It was my slap that prompted her to choose to take the initiative to end her life. If I hadn't slapped her, she wouldn't have been so extreme. It must have been this slap that made her completely desperate.
Or maybe I shouldn't be on the roof of the main building. Could it be that if I didn't appear on the roof of the main teaching building, Wu Shufang wouldn't have imagined her arms as wings? Otherwise, why did she hesitate on the roof for so long? If she had the heart to die, as soon as she reached the roof, she jumped downstairs, and people definitely saw her lying on the ground, instead of attracting so many onlookers.
Or maybe that's how she drew me in. She was going to end her life in front of me. She just wanted me to see her leap and make me feel guilty for the rest of my life.
……
Soon after Dean Ai returned, Dean Yu came with three people in public security uniforms. The person in charge of the morgue opened the door to enter the morgue, and Dean Yu and Dean Ai walked in, as well as the public security officers. We wanted to go in but were stopped outside.
I felt guilty and scared. Dean Yu: They won't pay attention to the blurred slap print, but the public security officers will definitely notice it. They will pursue this slap print. This should be an important clue to investigate and understand the reason for Wu Shufang's suicide. So am I confessing or hiding it? If I confess, will I be sentenced, will they arrest me and go to jail?
My fear gradually overshadowed my guilt, and I couldn't help but pace back and forth in the aisle.
About twenty minutes later, the group came out of the morgue. I saw a police officer glance at me. This glance made my heart beat faster.
Dean Yu explained a few words to Dean Ai and left with the public security officers.
"What's the matter, Dean Ai?" Director Cheng asked.
"Is there one?" The head teacher said.
"Nothing else, except that there was a slap print on the deceased's face." Dean Ai said.
"Slap prints? In this way, Wu Shufang must have had an argument with someone before this and was slapped by the other party, and it was this slap that pushed her to the extreme. The head teacher speculated.
"Yes. This is the main task that we need to investigate in the future, so that we can give an explanation to the parents. By the way, hasn't Xiao Yan come back yet? Dean Ai said.
Xiao Yan should be the leader who went back to the college to call the health bureau.
"Director Yan hasn't come back yet." Director Cheng said, "But just now, according to Zheng Qihang's classmates, Wu Shufang had dinner with her father at noon, and sent Zheng Qihang back to his residence, because Zheng Qihang was drunk, and this slap should have been beaten by her during the period when she returned to school from Zheng Qihang's residence." ”
"Is that so, Zheng Qihang?" Dean Ai looked at me.
"Yes. Before that, I had already explained the situation to the class teacher. It's just that I drank a little too much wine and forgot when Wu Shufang returned to school. I said.
"Doctors, especially surgeons, should drink less alcohol, let alone get drunk." Dean Ai said sharply.
"The dean is right to criticize." I say.
At this time, I saw the leader who had come back to the school to make a call, Director Yan, walking towards us.
"How? Did you get through the phone? Dean Ai asked eagerly.
"Got through, got through." Director Yan said.
"Have you been in contact with the parents of the deceased?"
"Not really. I got through to the Health Bureau. They said they would definitely find a way to contact Director Liu. ”
"This? Will the parents have already left Director Liu? Dean Ai frowned.
"Didn't this classmate say that Director Liu and his parents were together?"
"They should be together." I say.
"I hope so. If they are together, then the parents can come to the hospital today, which is the best. The sooner parents know about this kind of thing, the better. Dean Ai's mood was heavy.
Director Cheng beckoned Dean Ai to sit down on the row of chairs.
I walked out.
"Zheng Qihang, where are you going?" The head teacher asked.
"I'll wait for Uncle Wu at the entrance of the hospital."
"Which Uncle Wu?"
"It's Wu Shufang's father." I say.
I walked through the hospital lobby and then onto the street in front of the hospital. Because it was afternoon, the hospital hall was empty. The nurse who was the guide had left her post.
The streets are windy. I saw a piece of paper "dancing" on the street. The plane trees lining the streets are already covered with fresh green leaves.
I stood under such a plane tree and waited for Wu Shufang's father to arrive. I thought every black car that came in was Wu Shufang's father's car, but it wasn't. The closer I get to this car, the faster my heart beats.
I thought about how to explain to Wu Shufang's father. One thing is for sure, the absolute truth of the scenario cannot be told to anyone.
I don't know if half an hour has passed or an hour, but in short, it feels too long, a black car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, and Wu Shufang's father and the driver got out of the car one after another.
I hurried over.
"What's going on? What the hell is going on? Wu Shufang's father said, "Didn't Xiao Zhang say that he had sent you to the place where you live?" How could such a thing happen all of a sudden? ”
Xiao Zhang should be his driver.
"I, I don't know. Let's go see Wu Shufang first. I'll take you there. The school leaders and class teachers were there. "I forced myself to compose.
"Let's go!" Wu Shufang's father threw off his arms and walked to the hospital.
The driver turned around and drove away.
I trotted over to Wu Shufang's father and led him to the morgue.
Dean Ai wanted to say something to Wu Shufang's father, but Wu Shufang's father pushed Dean Ai away and went straight into the morgue. Dean Ai accompanied him in.
In a few moments, the morgue was filled with the characteristic howling and crying of men. The corners of my eyes moistened. I can't help but recall the scene where Wu Shufang committed suicide by cutting her veins in the playground of Hua'an No. 2 Middle School. My soccer ball rolled towards where she had committed suicide, allowing me to spot her lying quietly on the grass. I carried her to the hospital and saved her life.
Who would have thought that I would end up with her life? I really can't figure it out. If God has arranged for me to save her life, why should he arrange for me to end her life?
If Wu Shufang can't escape this arrangement after all, what is the significance of the last rescue?
As I was thinking so, Wu Shufang's father came out of the morgue.
He walked up to me and grabbed one of my arms, "How many things am I going to ask you individually?" ”
"Ask me alone?" My heart jumped to my throat.
