Coco hung up her phone and walked into the lobby of the annex building of the medical university that she had returned to after a long absence, Zeng Jianming's body had arrived at the forensic department a few hours ago, and after the arrangement, Coco still came to attend the seminar requested by her mother as planned. The meeting was as boring as predicted, and it was tempting to wander your mind elsewhere.

According to Bai Ling, Zeng Jianming looked honest after being allowed to be released on medical parole, quietly treating his illness in the hospital, excluding the things he did to Xu Li, he was a young man who couldn't look ordinary. My parents are getting old, and they have been honest all their lives, and they have not dealt with the police more than three or five times. From elementary school to university, he has never been seriously ill, he has never been far away, he has never deviated, and he has never done any righteous deeds. No matter how you look at it, it's an ordinary man. But if you dig deeper, you will find some traces, Zeng Jianming had three girlfriends, all of them broke up in just a few months, once his parents mentioned blind dates at home, he would pick up a bowl and smash it on the ground without saying a word, let it be crushed, and then don't speak for a day. So the parents stopped talking about it, but after a few months, they found that their son was often suddenly happy and occasionally more silent.

It wasn't until after Xu Li's case happened that the police came to the door. The two old men were dumbfounded to learn what their son had done.

When Keke signed for Zeng Jianming's body, he heard Su Xiaozhe say next to him: Retribution.

She didn't refute, but Zhou Daxuan spoke, "No matter what he did, he shouldn't have died here in this way." ”

"What's the difference? He's done that kind of thing. I should have thought that there would be similar retribution. Xu Li's tragic video left a deep imprint in Xiaozhe's mind.

"What nonsense?" Da Xuan was a little annoyed, why did this kid still have this kind of thought, "Even if he is a criminal, he also has elderly parents." As long as the law does not sentence him to death and carry it out according to the regular process, no one has the right to kill him just like that. ”

Su Xiaozhe stopped talking, and looked at Coco as if asking for help, but Coco just lowered his head and hurriedly finished signing the letter.

"Su Xiaozhe," Da Xuan obviously didn't intend to let him go, "Don't think that someone else helped you prevaricate the past last time, and you can continue to do whatever you want." Even if you're a forensic doctor, you're not the law. ”

Su Xiaozhe looked at Da Xuan's eyes with a hint of stubbornness, and Coco, who had already completed the transfer procedures, pushed him, standing stunned and having nothing to do? Go, push the corpse into the freezer, register it on the work schedule and prepare for tomorrow's autopsy, and, the day before yesterday, I asked you for the bone particle analysis report from the previous corpse dismemberment, and ask the analysis teacher to speed up the progress.

Xiao Zhe sighed and pushed the heavy corpse cart away.

"Don't take it short." Zhou Dazeng looked at the back of Xiaozhe leaving and said.

Coco glanced at him, "You don't protect your shortcomings?" So who helped me find a way to solve that internal punishment last time? ”

It's okay not to talk about this, but when it comes to this, Da Zhen is angry, "That punishment is not because you helped Xiaozhe to take the blame yourself?" He posted on the Internet, but you admitted on the show that you did it yourself, if it weren't for luck, you would still be able to continue to be a forensic doctor? Did you tell him any of these things? Did you let him know what he was doing on the spur of the moment, and what the consequences were? ”

Coco didn't really say it, she just thought that it was common for young people to be self-willed, and anyone could do such a thing, including when she was younger. In other words, what Su Xiaozhe did was also something that Coco wanted to do but no longer dared to do after he matured now.

"Coco, this sentence is also to remind you that even if you have done anything that is not tolerated, lynching is wrong." Da Xuan's eyes were very serious, so that Coco didn't dare to look directly, she just replied to him with a faint anger, "If I don't understand this, can I continue to be a forensic doctor now?" ”

It's very reasonable, but Coco is really a little confused. There was a movie in Japan, about a rich grandfather offering a reward of one billion, let the whole country chase and kill the suspect who tortured and killed his granddaughter, the police dispatched, and tried their best to protect the prisoner to the police headquarters, for this scumbag, countless policemen died on the way to transfer him, and finally in the law, the suspect just said: If I knew that the death penalty would be imposed, it would have been good to kill a few more people at that time. In a word, the policemen who died to protect him before have all become a joke.

Whether it's worth it or not, Coco stood by the window of the medical school conference building and realized that he didn't quite understand. Outside the window, in addition to flowers and plants, there were only a pair of little lovers, and even the wind seemed to blow the smell of the world's idleness, and the phone call that had just been hung up made Coco feel even more inexplicable, and for a moment she didn't want to go back to the conference hall full of speeches and applause.

A week ago, a girl reported that her sister was missing, and the photos she provided were very similar to the head Xun Keran got from the funeral home, and the age, height, blood type, and time of disappearance are very consistent, and then you only need to find the victim's medical records and bones before her death to compare, or DNA matching with some things she used before her death, you can determine whether it is the same person.

None of this is the point, what makes Coco not know what emotions to bring to look at this matter is another piece of news, if this sister is really the lady on the coroner's desk.

"Profession, Miss Desk." Zhou Daxuan said this on the phone.

"What?" Coco suspected she had misheard.

"Coco, you know, sex work."

There was a kind of contempt in Da Xuan's tone, and Coco also knew that she had guessed that she might be a woman in this line of work based on the **** situation before the death of the first corpse, but when the facts were in front of her, people couldn't help but sigh.

On the other hand, this is not good news, as there are quite a few women in sex work in every city, who are highly mobile and can put themselves in dangerous and unfamiliar situations for a little money. Coco suddenly thought that there were slight abrasions on the wrists of the first two bodies, originally she thought it was the defensive injuries of these deceased, such as tearing with each other or being tied up by each other, but now thinking back, if they were doing this, they were probably tied up by the murderer voluntarily, and then by the time she found out that something was wrong, she had completely lost the ability to escape.

Coco shook his head, the most troublesome thing is that if the murderer determines that he is targeting them, it is almost impossible to stop him from continuing to choose a target, as long as the money given is a little higher, just a little, there will be many women who are willing to give up their lives.

Unless he is caught.

Alas............ Coco sighed as she leaned on the windowsill.

A slight voice came from behind her, and she turned around alertly to see a man dressed like a university professor standing not far away and smiling at herself. The man was dressed in a casual jacket, with a shrewd look hidden behind a pair of brown-rimmed glasses, and a gentle smile on his face, but it gave Coco a sense of concealment.

Coco didn't make a sound.

The man walked leisurely over to Coco, stood by the window, and pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket.

Coco raised his left hand, and the man looked in the direction of Coco's finger with a cigarette in his mouth, and a striking sign was posted on the wall behind him.

No smoking!

A pitiful expression appeared on his face like a child who can't eat candy, which contrasted greatly with his dignified appearance, which made Coco laugh. Shrugging, Coco doesn't mean anything.

The man took the cigarette in his mouth but didn't light the fire, with a self-deprecating smile on his face, "Forget it, if you can meet a friend who can't stand the long talk like me, don't smoke if you don't smoke." ”

"Most of the seminars are like this." Coco looked down at her canvas shoes.

"I'm not here for a seminar, I'm here for a professional, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to be here today, and I can't be confused by a lot of medical jargon."

Coco looked up at him, "You're not a doctor?" ”

The man smiled and put away his cigarette, "No, I'm from the archaeological institute, huh...... Where's the business card, hehe, sorry, there are too many pockets......" He said as he fumbled around his body, finally finding an antique business card case, and handed his business card to Coco with both hands.

The paper is faintly printed: Consultant of the Municipal Institute of Archaeology, Li Yiji.

Coco tilted her head and couldn't figure out why an archaeologist would come to a medical seminar, but it had nothing to do with herself. She is also a little indulged in mixed emotions about the victim's profession.

"You're a medical examiner?" Li Yiji asked.

Keke looked up at him fiercely, probably because the vigilant reaction in his eyes was noticed by him, Li Yiji smiled gently, "Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else, professional problems, my nose is a little smarter, I smell a little rotting corpse on you." ”

Coco remembered that the victim's body was sent to the medical university for disposal in the morning, and at that time, he did open the body bag to confirm the decomposed corpse inside, and he could even smell such a smell?

Coco raised her eyebrows, "Even if I have the smell of rotting corpses, doctors will deal with corpses more or less......"

"But not many doctors have a lot of contact with decomposing corpses." Li Yiji smiled confidently.

Coco was noncommittal, "You smell the rotting corpse on me?" "Liar, huh?

"It's not just funny, you don't just smell of disinfectant, you smell of sweet chocolate."

Coco raised her eyebrows and looked at the person in front of her, if she hadn't known herself in advance, she really had a bit of an amazing keen sense of smell.

Li Yiji seemed a little embarrassed, and lowered his head to look at the little lovers walking around the window, "Actually, I think you still have a taste of trouble." Seeing that Coco was silent, he then explained, "Nosy is also my professional problem, don't mind, I don't mean anything." ”

Coco took out a treasure bead from her pocket, the sweetness of the candy spread faintly in her mouth, diluting a complex bitterness, she looked back at the strange man in front of her, "Mr. Li, if you do archaeology, will you make a right or wrong evaluation of the lives of those ancients?" When the words were asked, Coco felt that he was very stupid, archaeological research, isn't it just to know what those lost lives have done, how can there be no right or wrong.

"There is no right or wrong." Li Yiji replied.

Coco looked at him again in surprise, this person had just looked like a child, but now it made people feel bottomless.

Li Yiji turned his head to look out the window, and there was no joke on his face, "Archaeology restores history and the truth of the matter, and it doesn't matter who is right or wrong." He paused, "Do you know the wordless monument in front of Wu Zetian's tomb?" ”

Coco nodded.

"It is often the wish of many people who want to be famous in history to set up a glorious biography for themselves in front of the tomb, but Wu Zetian left a wordless tablet, many people say that it is because she wants future generations to evaluate her merits and demerits, I think it is the opposite, she feels that she does not need to give any explanation to future generations. She ushered in a time when no one had ever come before, and she spent her life doing what she thought was great, and then she died, what would posterity say, and what did it mean to her? Everyone is doing what they think is right, and what matters is not what others think is right or wrong, but what you think is the goal in your heart. You tell me? ”

Coco was stunned in the eyes of Li Yiji, and the picture of the headless female corpse flashed in his mind, the rotting and smelly human body, the incision on the neck crawling with maggot larvae, and the cruel hole in Zeng Jianming's chest, who they were and what they had done, in fact, it was not what she should care about. The important thing is that they were killed, they were killed in various ways and for various reasons, and catching the bastard who did this kind of thing and finding out the truth is what her forensic doctor should do.

――――――――――――――

Li Yiji drove the car out of the underground parking garage, looked up and saw through the car glass that Xun Keran was still standing by the window when he was chatting with him just now, tilting his head as if he was thinking about something. I couldn't help but laugh at the words that the man used to describe her.

Put on the Bluetooth headset and slowly drive the car out of the medical university, while connecting the shortcut dial on the mobile phone.

"Hello? It's me...... I saw her, huh...... That's right, you're right...... It's incredible, the clothes still smell of rotting corpses, but the body exudes the sweetness of candy, and those eyes are really clean enough. Ah, that thing, that thing is not in a hurry, but ......"

A gentle but deep smile appeared on Li Yiji's face.

"Xun Keran is indeed an interesting option." He said to the headphones.
