Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve Reborn

In the office filled with the smell of medicine, I saw the Rongshui county newspaper on March 19, 2005. The content published in the newspaper was beyond my imagination.Seeing the change in my expression, the male doctor probably wanted to suggest that I go to the psychiatric department for a checkup. I knew I had lost my composure, so he asked him if he could give me this newspaper.The male doctor confessed that he never read the county newspapers, and that I wanted as many as I wanted. At the same time, he asked me with concern if I was short of money and wanted to sell these newspapers as scraps.

I froze in embarrassment, remembering that my behavior was really ridiculous, so I smiled embarrassedly: "I just want one." The male doctor smiled when he saw me, and he smiled too: "I see that in the hospitalization information you filled out, it says Machang Village Primary School, are you teachers there?" I folded up the newspaper and replied, "Yes." "What a coincidence, I am also from Machang Village, but I live in the county seat now." The male doctor stood up from behind his desk and said to me, "My name is Wang Jingui, and my father's name is Wang Heizi. He is a groom, so people in the village call him the groom king, you should know, right?"

The groom king is the most primitive person in the village. He is said to be primitive because he never uses electricity, and even uses kerosene lamps at night.On weekdays, the groom king likes to go to the mountains to chop firewood, which is used to boil water for cooking. Sometimes when the power is out in the village, everyone will go to him for firewood, and he is willing to give it away.I've heard that groom king has a doctor's son who works in the county hospital, but I didn't expect it to be the male doctor in front of me.In the past, I often scolded in my heart that the son of the groom king is a bastard, and he actually made his father suffer in the mountains. Why didn't he take him out to enjoy the blessings?I stayed in Macun Village for a year, and later I found out that the groom Wang’s wife was electrocuted to death at home, so he insisted on living a primitive life. Apart from missing the days at the army horse farm, it was also related to his wife.

Thinking of these things, I nodded to Wang Jingui, thanked him, and walked out of the office with him.Since last night, I have hardly slept and have not used the bathroom.Later, I drank some water, and now I was in a hurry to urinate, so I asked Wang Jingui where the toilet was.Wang Jingui looked at me first, and then said to me: "The toilet here is next to the mortuary, do you dare to go? Everyone in the county knows it, so they don't want to go when they are urgent to urinate. Doctors dare to go." "The morgue?" I was taken aback and really didn't dare to go. Wang Jingui couldn't read a woman's mind, and thought I wasn't afraid, so he continued to scare: "Didn't Machang Village dig up two corpses? They were both placed in the mortuary of our hospital. One belonged to Lin Laohu's family, and the other was Grandpa Wu, poor man, he was burned like that."

"Put it in the hospital?" I wondered, "Shouldn't it be placed in the dissection room of the Public Security Bureau?" Wang Jingui and I walked into the corridor of the hospital and whispered, "Have you watched too many movies? How can there be so many dissection rooms in China? Autopsies in many counties are done in hospitals, some are performed by doctors, some It relies on forensic medicine, and some autopsies are performed in the open air. It is even more impossible for a small county like ours to have an autopsy room. Even in the United States, there are such models. Not every place has an autopsy room, and it will cost Lots of money."

The first time I heard about this kind of thing, I thought that the country was so advanced that there were forensic doctors everywhere, and forensic doctors had their own dissection rooms.It's no wonder that the efficiency of solving cases is so slow every time. It turns out that the autopsy report takes so long to come out.I remember that those detective novels were very advanced, and the autopsy report could be obtained almost immediately, which was extremely efficient.For some reason, Wang Jingui told me a lot. He also said that an old doctor in the hospital was in charge of doing the autopsy and then handing over the report to the Public Security Bureau. Sometimes he also went to help.

Speaking of this, Wang Jingui thought I was afraid, but actually I became interested.After thinking about it, I asked, "Have you done an autopsy? Is the person who was burned really Grandpa Wu? Grandpa Wu who helped the school as a carpenter and electrician? Has the corpse dug up by Tiger Lin been identified?" Faced with my series of questions, Wang Jingui, who wanted to show off to the young woman, finally became suspicious and asked, "Why are you asking these questions?" "I'm just... curious." I hurriedly covered it up, "I live in a village, of course I'm afraid, in case it's not an accidental death or death from illness..."

Wang Jingui told me frankly that the hospital has a rule that such things cannot be leaked, and the report can only be submitted to the Public Security Bureau, and then a report slip will be left in the mortuary.Regarding this kind of thing, Wang Jingui couldn't tell me clearly. He told me that the first dead body was a man after I begged him. He was strangled to death because the hyoid bone was broken.I asked if it was broken during transportation. After all, the hyoid bone is not thick, and it has been buried for so long, so it is easy to be damaged.Wang Jingui shook his head hastily. If it was broken while carrying it, the cross-section would be lighter in color, but the hyoid bone of the corpse is the same color as the outer surface of the bone, which means it was broken when the deceased was killed.

Wang Jingui is very busy. After telling me so much, he is going to the operating room.Before leaving, Wang Jingui asked me for my mobile phone number. On the surface, he explained that he might contact me because of Liu Qin's injury, but he was actually a little cautious.After walking a few steps, Wang Jingui turned back and told me not to tell about the autopsy, otherwise he would lose his job.I immediately nodded my promise, because it would not do me any good to tell this kind of thing, especially if everyone in the village thought I was a liar. "Then be careful, don't go out at night, I heard that Lin Huo hasn't caught him yet." After Wang Jingui finished speaking, he closed the white door to the operating room at the end of the corridor.

I endured the urge to urinate and looked at the sky outside the corridor. The sun was very bright now, so I boldly walked to the toilet according to the road signs of the hospital.The toilets of the hospital are behind the inpatient building. It is said to be an inpatient building, but in fact it only has three floors, which is far worse than the big hospitals in the city.The area of ​​the hospital is also very small, and it is easy to walk around. Even the limestone on the wall has peeled off a lot, exposing the red square bricks. When I found the toilet, I saw that there was an office building next to the toilet. The office classification of each floor was written in the corridor, and there was a column written in red paint as the mortuary, which was on the first floor.I was flustered, and even when I went into the toilet, I felt eerie and extremely cold, as if there was a hanged ghost in a bright red dress in every cubicle.After I ran out and returned to the front hall of the hospital, basking in the warm sun, I calmed down.

At this time, the clock on the hospital wall had reached 12 noon, and I sat back on the chair in the corridor, thinking about what Wang Jingui had said.If the deceased dug up at Lin Huo's house was strangled, how long had he been dead?On the night when the corpse was found buried under the orange tree, the village head's wife mentioned that everyone thought that Lin Huo's mother had run away from home. When they saw the body, they all guessed that it was Lin Huo's mother.Now that I know that the deceased was a male, it means that they all guessed wrong, but who could be the deceased, and no one else in the village seems to be missing. Wang Jingui made it very clear to me that the hospital has no technology, and neither does the Public Security Bureau. It may take a long time to rely on DNA to identify the deceased.In the movie, the United States can still rely on teeth for identification, but most Chinese people don’t go to the dentist, and people in Machang Village are even less likely to go, so they don’t leave records at the dentist. I sighed, maybe this case will become a headless case, I hope there will be a miracle.For example, I originally had no hope about the county newspaper. When Liu Qin had an accident, I was in despair and pain, but now I have turned around.While thinking, I took out the county newspaper dated March 19, 2005, and read it again carefully. On the side where Zhao Xiyue's photo was published, I finally saw the reason why she was included in the newspaper, but her name was not Zhao Xiyue in the text note under the photo, but Tian Yinghua.As for the reason for being published in the newspaper, it was not because she was abducted, but because she killed someone and was wanted by the public security organs.The wanted article clearly stated that in February 2005, Tian Yinghua killed a person in Beihai, Guangxi, and then ran away, so the wanted article was published in various county newspapers. This incident surprised me, Zhao Xixi was so pitiful, how could she kill someone?Before that, Zhao Xiyue pleaded bitterly and told me that she was kidnapped, her family was poor, and her father had a bad temper, so she didn't want to go back.But when I think about it now, maybe she is afraid that I will call the police, because if I call the police, the fact that she is wanted may be exposed. This is one of the reasons why she and Lin Huohu did not register with the civil affairs department. "Did Sister Joy really kill someone?" I couldn't believe it, and said in my heart, "She told me that day that she discovered a secret. If she was the murderer, why did she tell me that? What did she discover? We know each other During this year, she often borrowed books from me and passed some notes. This is not like a murderer. I don't believe it! After all, the name written in the newspaper is Tian Yinghua, not Zhao Xiyue... But the fugitive must be If you want to be reborn and remain anonymous, who would use your real name? Even if it’s a trafficked person! I didn’t even remember it until now.” However, this is not what surprised me the most. It seems too far-fetched if someone stole the scarlet newspaper back just because of this wanted article.After I read it carefully, I realized that there was also a photo of a woman in the wanted article next to Sister Joy, and the person in the photo was also from Machang Village.
