Chapter 42: Guarding the Corpse
It's no secret that forensic doctors don't do a good job, but I know that forensic doctors don't just deal with dead bodies, they also deal with the living. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When I was studying medicine at the provincial city university, I had a forensic major, but it was unpopular, and there were special admissions and commission trainees, so I didn't report it, in the words of the teacher, forensic medicine is dealing with dead bodies.
Dr. Hang, a forensic doctor at the city hospital, was commissioned by the criminal police team to perform an autopsy.
The deceased's name is Luo Baozi, a native of Yibin, Sichuan, who came to our city to work and work as a patrol in a bathing center, that is, a thug. I asked Dr. Hang, "Where does the soul go after death?" ”
Dr. Hang handed the autopsy report to the comrades of the criminal police team, then lit a cigarette and said to me: "You should ask the philosopher this question, I am only responsible for examining the body of the deceased, and I also examine the injuries of the living." ”
Because the family of the deceased has not yet paid the fee, the body of the deceased can only be temporarily placed in the emergency department.
Seeing that Dr. Hang had finished the autopsy and was about to leave, I hurriedly asked him, "Mr. Hang, have you ever encountered anything strange in your autopsy work?" ”
The other party stared at me with puzzled eyes and said, "Since we are studying medicine, we will inevitably come into contact with the dead, and the ghosts are just used by others to scare people, we can't scare ourselves!" I have been working in forensic medicine for more than 20 years, and I have seen all kinds of dead bodies, some whole, some mutilated, some decomposed, and some still warm. ”
It is said that all forensic doctors are specially recruited and commissioned trainees, I don't like this profession, and I am not interested in it, Dr. Hang said goodbye and left.
I went back to the office, and in a few hours it was dawn, and the night shift was very tiring.
A comrade of the criminal police team had already made inquiries to Dr. Min, and then said to a young policeman: "Shen Chao, you stay and guard the body of the deceased, and when the family of the deceased has collected enough money, the body will be sent to the corpse locker in the morgue for preservation." ”
The energetic little policeman immediately saluted and received the order, and then asked Dr. Min: "I guard the dead alone, and it is easy to get distracted, please send someone to guard with me, right?" ”
I muttered to myself, "The body of the deceased is in the emergency room, and it won't escape by itself?" Actually, you don't need to send someone to guard it, you shouldn't be afraid, right? ”
Dr. Min was very cooperative with the work of the criminal police team, and immediately asked me to accompany Shen Chao to guard the corpse.
I wanted to refuse, but Shen Chao stared at me and questioned, "Doctor Yuan won't be afraid, right?" ”
To be honest, I was just scared, but in front of everyone, I naturally wouldn't admit it, so I said: "I'm a doctor, I've even dissected more than a dozen corpses, and I'm still afraid of the dead?" ”
The light in the rescue room was on, but the light of the fluorescent lamp shone on the corpse, and out of respect for the deceased, I specially pulled a white sheet to cover the corpse.
Shen Chao pulled a chair and sat down against the door, while I sat on an empty bed next to him.
It was a little cold in the middle of the night, Shen Chao also closed the door of the rescue room, chatted with me while smoking, and learned from him that he had just graduated from the police academy and was transferred to the criminal police team because of his outstanding performance.
However, 99% of the living are afraid of the dead, Shen Chao is also afraid, he tried not to let me sleep, he was smoking one after another, so I reminded him: "This is a hospital, smoking is not allowed, and smoking is harmful to health!" ”
The other person replied: "Of course I know that smoking is bad for my health, but I can't control my craving." ”
The emergency department was quiet in the middle of the night, and the family of the deceased also left the hospital to collect money.
Shen Chao told me about his experience, it was very simple, he envied the police since he was a child, and his family conditions allowed it, so he sent him to the police academy, and then successfully participated in the work and was transferred to the criminal police team.
I asked, "What does your father do?" ”
He was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "My father works at the police station!" ”
If there is a senior guide in an industry, it is easy to enter.
After listening to him talk so much, I got up to leave, and he hurriedly asked, "Doctor Yuan, why are you going?" ”
I responded, "If you say that your mouth is dry, go fetch water, and then put water in it!" ”
He immediately said, "Let's both of them together!" It just so happened that I was thirsty too. ”
I pointed to the corpse under the sheet and asked, "Aren't you afraid of the corpse running away?" ”
Shen Chao hesitated for a moment and said, "The two of us take turns, you hurry back!" ”
I went to the bathroom to put water first, and then went back to the doctor's office to get a water cup, Dr. Min and Xiao Tang were chatting, and when they saw me coming back, they stopped the conversation.
Xiao Tang asked, "Doctor Yuan, are you okay?" ”
I asked, "Are you alright?" What's going on? ”
Dr. Min explained: "It's nothing, we are worried that you will be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of the corpse, people die like lights out, even if the soul is still there, they can't control the body." ”
I took a cup of hot water and returned to the emergency room, when a person came in front of me and almost knocked the water glass out of my hand, he hurriedly apologized in Sichuanese, and then left in a hurry.
Shen Chao chased after me and asked, "Doctor Yuan, why didn't you stop that person just now?" ”
I asked rhetorically, "Why didn't you say earlier, who was that person just now?" ”
Shen Chao snatched the cup from my hand, opened the bottle cap, and drank it in one gulp, but then squirted it out and asked rhetorically: "Boiling water!" ”
I also responded: "yes, what are you doing in such a hurry!" ”
The two of us returned to the rescue room and continued to sit down, Shen Chao explained: "Just now that person claimed to be the deceased's fellow countryman and wanted to see the deceased for the last time, but when I asked him his name and situation, he turned around and left, do you think it's strange?" ”
"Could it be that he left in a hurry because he was afraid that you would be regarded as a criminal suspect or that you would ask him for the rescue money of the deceased?" I analyzed: "I just heard this person speak with a Sichuan accent! ”
Shen Chao nodded and said, "It's possible." Doctor Yuan, you stay here for a while, and I'll go to the bathroom. ”
I was a little reluctant, but the other person had already gotten up and left.
Now I'm left with a living person and a corpse in the rescue room.
When I drank from the cup, I always felt as if someone was staring at me, so I looked back and saw that the white sheet covering the corpse seemed to have been moved, revealing one of the deceased's hands.
I thought I hadn't put the deceased's hand under the sheet, so I put down the cup and prepared to inspect it.
At this time, the lights in the emergency room suddenly went out, and not only the emergency room, but also the lights in the entire emergency department went out, but after three seconds, the emergency lights were quickly activated, but a faint light shone in the emergency room even more permeable.
My heart was beating violently, and Shen Chao's roar came from the direction of the bathroom: "You guys hurry up, or I'm going to do it!" ”
Dr. Min and Xiao Tang had already rushed from the duty room to the bathroom, and I also ran towards the door of the rescue room, but there was a sound behind me, which scared my legs.
"Is it a corpse?"
I didn't want to look back, but the movement behind me was getting louder and louder, and heavy footsteps were coming towards me.
When I turned around, I was almost stupid, only to see the corpse running towards me with a white sheet on it, and shouting, "Get out of the way!" ”
I sat down on the ground in fright, and the other party leaped over my head and quickly disappeared into the hallway of the emergency department.
Shen Chao and Dr. Min quickly arrived, and the fluorescent lamp in the rescue room turned on again.
Dr. Min came to help me, and Shen Chao shouted angrily: "Where is the body of the deceased! ”
