"How about the kid?"
"It's adjusting well."
“Children of that age learn quickly and are very good at adapting to changes in their environment.”
Che Linwan sighed, but she wanted to try not to let her children bear those changes.
But she didn't understand Cai Lemi, let alone the deceased Cai Jun.
Although he made some insinuations and tried to find some clues about the life of father and daughter, when Che Linwan took the initiative to ask Lemi about it, the child always deliberately avoided it.
"Maybe the child hasn't accepted the fact that his father has left."
"Didn't you see it? Dr. Su has a lot of research on child psychology?"
"Don't dare, I just ate a few more mouthfuls of rice than you did."
"Do you have time to talk to her?"
"With whom?!!"
"Xiao Lemi."
"Why would I want to chat with a wild child who is not even close to me? Am I too idle?"
Che Linwan was stunned by his question for a moment.
"You are closest in age to Cai Juan..."
"Then why don't you send her to Brother De's home? There are two children in Brother De's family! Many things cannot be empirical. If you rely on empiricism, you are definitely not the best adopter. She should not be adopted at all. You go home."
Che Linwan was so angry that he lost his temper, so he turned around and left.
"Che Linwan!"
"What?!"
"You're going in the wrong direction! The body is over there!"
Che Linwan turned around suddenly and almost dropped the toolbox she was carrying.
The policeman passing by helped her hold the box and smiled shyly.
Why are you laughing? I am married and have a baby! You are seducing a married woman...
"Doctor Che, this way." Gu Naiqin, who looked much more professional after putting on an isolation suit, danced in the distance to attract her attention, "This way! This way! Look here!"
Although the police initially determined that everyone committed suicide based on the video footage at the scene, the testimony of witnesses, the suicide note of the suicide, and various clues, there was still a young man who aroused Che Linwan's vigilance.
It was a 17- or 8-year-old boy who had grown a beard that had not been cleaned for several days.
Because they were worried that the congregants might change their minds temporarily or flee during the burning process, all the people's hands and feet were tied together at the large-scale burning site with welded iron buckles.
Some of the iron buckles had broken after the fire was extinguished.
But according to the experience of criminal investigators, it is impossible for a desperate person to break free from the iron buckle.
And most of them are middle-aged. The men are starting to gain weight, become bald, and have beer bellies. The exaggerated rags worn by women may have been popular styles when they were young.
The material is very flammable. Once it touches the flames, it immediately adheres to the human body and becomes the best combustion accelerant.
Although there are young people, they are all wasted youths. They drop out of school early and stay at home all year round with no social life, no goals, and no idols to chase.
I don’t know how I was deceived by the evil church.
What caught Gu Naiqin's attention was the look on the boy's fingernails.
Even though the body was burnt beyond recognition, looking at it one more time would cause severe physical discomfort, so Gu Naiqin could only stare at his fingers.
As I looked, I could see the remnants of colored paint.
"Could it be the cross-dressing boss..." She said to herself, and it turned out to be the logical thinking of a lo-girl.
However, Che Linwan suddenly leaned down to look at him and found the marks of different colors on his wrists.
"Doctor Su!"
"exist."
"Let's take a look."
Su Zhenling is helping to place other corpses, and the police require that everyone's true and valid identities must be found within two days.
"The thin circle is obviously an old mark."
After checking, Su Zhenling and Che Linwan came to the same answer.
The iron buckles of the self-immolated corpses were tightly close to each other. Only the corpse of the young child felt a little awkward.
"Like it was inserted on purpose?"
"But his position is in the middle..."
"How about we take this one down first?"
Che Linwan nodded, and then gently tied the WSTI logo on the corpse's ankle.
It was already very late when the body was transported back to the institute. Phoebe at the front desk ordered takeout for everyone and then left work.
Gu Naiqin looked at Che Linwan with a hopeless expression, "You're destined to stay up all night, aren't you?"
"Although there is no rush. The police have basically finalized the case. But the family members of the deceased may be waiting at the door now. Notify one day earlier, one day."
"Dr. Che, sometimes not knowing is also a kind of hope."
"But that's no hope for the future."
Su Zhenling came over and stuffed two cans of yogurt into Che Linwan and Gu Naiqin, then lowered his head and said softly, "If you don't go back, are you okay at home?"
Che Linwan was stunned for a while before he realized that he was referring to Cai Lemi. He couldn't help but smile softly, "I thought you didn't care."
"Even if I had a cat or a dog at home, I would still ask."
"Can a child compete with a cat or a dog?"
"Why not? A child of this age has the same IQ as a cat or a dog."
“…”
"Dr. Su, Dr. Che, what are you talking about?"
"Family matters." Su Zhenling replied smoothly.
Che Linwan almost choked himself to death after taking a sip of yogurt.
When she received the call from the hospital, Che Linwan was studying a ball of plastic paper pulled out of the young child's stomach bag.
"Maybe a candy wrapper?"
"Who would swallow the candy wrapper into their stomach and not digest it at all?"
Su Zhenling looked directly at Gu Naiqin indifferently, "Then what did you say?"
"No... Isn't this? We still have to wait for the test results..."
"So in an era without laboratory equipment, work wouldn't work, right?"
"You can't tell the difference between forced suicide and active suicide."
This was the hardest time Che Linwan had ever seen Gu Naiqin.
Gu Naiqin had always been scared when she saw Su Zhenling, but since she learned that Xia Mingzhi's resignation might have been caused by Doctor Su, her whole attitude changed completely.
Che Linwan wanted to help him explain a few words, but seeing that Dr. Su didn't care at all, she stopped meddling.
"Hello, are you Ms. Che Linwan?"
"Who am I?"
"We are from the Children's Hospital. Is there a girl named Cai Lemi from your family?"
"Le Mi?!..."
Che Linwan suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Zhenling, who was sitting opposite and resting. Although Su Zhenling looked at her inexplicably, he still nodded.
So Che Linwan took off her surgical clothes while talking on the phone, and ran out.
Xiao Lemi looked a little pitiful.
The whole mouth is swollen.
There was a hanging injection in his arm, and he sat there feebly with his head tilted.
When she saw Che Linwan running in in a hurry, she first turned her mouth to one side and looked about to cry.
But he immediately took it back and grinned, trying to force a smile.
But it was stuck there due to swelling, and it looked weird.
"What's wrong with you!" She squatted beside Lemi's chair, and Lemi was still wearing a large khaki jacket.
"Are you a parent of a child?"
"Ah, yes! Excuse me..."
"What's going on with parents these days? We can't get through on the phone, so we've been on the phone for a long time!"
"Sorry, it's... inconvenient for me when I'm working."
The attending doctor was a short, somewhat chubby, middle-aged lady. Looking at Che Linwan's appearance, she roughly guessed that she was another kind of professional woman.
And a single parent. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
"What's your job?"
"Forensic..."
The attending doctor instantly became solemn. It is the most tiring and painful type of medical treatment, and it does not receive any care from the world.
"Is the one who sent her here uncle or uncle?"
"Huh? How did she get here?"
When the nurse brought the registration slip to her, she saw Xia Mingzhi's name.
Lemi lowered his head weakly.
"Fortunately, it was delivered in time. The guy who sent her had some common sense. He rinsed her with cold water and wrapped her in gauze."
"How on earth could..."
"It was said that the oil pan was overturned. It almost didn't start burning."
"Oil?! Where did the oil pan come from?"
Under the accusing eyes, Che Linwan lowered his head silently.
