Chapter 10: The Corpse of a Fool in the Well! My Love!

  The corpse of the big fool was placed in the hall with four winds without being put in an ice cabinet. The table that was originally in the center of the hall was moved to one side, and a door panel took its place. The corpse was placed on the door panel, with limbs as dry as twigs and a head as dry as if it had been wind-dried. A stench emanated from the corpse, making it impossible to distinguish whether it was from before or after death.

  The body was covered with a thin old white cloth, and the wind was strong, so several stones were used to press down on the cloth. Next to the body was a basin, in which there was some paper money ash at the bottom. This was considered setting up an altar.

  These past ten years, rural life has been getting better and better. The village is filled with small buildings everywhere, and these small buildings have added layer upon layer, but the Dais' family still lives in a tile-roofed earthen house that leaks air from all sides.

  "Let's just say it's all fate, Zhang was almost 40 when he married a half-witted wife, had a stupid eldest son, and then another stupid second son. A few years ago, Zhang finally couldn't hold on anymore, not long after that his wife also left, leaving behind two stupid sons... it's all fate..."

  "Both parents have died, what do they rely on for a living?" I asked.

  "Relatives come to take care of me every three or five days, the village committee allocates 100 yuan per year, and in previous years, after appearing on TV programs, kind-hearted people in society donated a considerable amount of money."

  I frowned: "If I didn't guess wrong, they all have a strange appetite, can this amount of money afford their medicine and daily nutrition expenses?"

  "Alas... what can be done? This life is just a cheap, worthless thing. Some people's lives are precious, while others are cheap and can only barely survive day by day. Oh right, the peach tree forest behind them belongs to those two. When the villagers fertilize, they'll remember to help with the fertilization; when it's time to weed, they'll help with weeding; when it's harvest time, they'll help with harvesting, and the money earned will be theirs."

  When we were talking, Er Chai used a withered branch to carefully pick up an egg and brought it back, laughing and saying: "Look! Er Shu gave it to me. Look! It's still warm. Let's put it in the chicken coop."

  "I asked: 'Eggs are taken out of the chicken coop, what's the point of putting them back in?'"

  "Ha ha, don't you understand? We'll let the hen hatch Kentucky chicken for us to eat. I've eaten KFC before and it's not good, but Second Uncle says everyone in the city loves it. If you wake up Brother En to play with him, I'll give you KFC to eat, really, all the hatched ones are yours!" He muttered softly afterwards, "Anyway, Brother En doesn't like eating it either..."

  I asked Little Fatty's forensic doctor with a mixture of laughter and tears: "How did you guys tell him, does he really think I can wake up his brother?"

  Xiao Pang forensic forced a smile: "Hehe don't take it to heart, (he's) an idiot who doesn't understand anything."

  The village didn't have any facilities, so they had to do an autopsy in the open. Wang Yong stuttered as he communicated with Er Sha: "Er Sha, it's like this, your brother is already dead, can you understand? He won't move again and even later... You should play well with Uncle, Auntie, and the friends in the village from now on... We, that sister can't wake up your brother, but she can find out how your brother died..."

  Two silly men stared at Wang Yong and smiled.

  "What's the point of talking to him? He's an idiot and doesn't understand anything."

  I said: "Don't be surprised, 'Director Wang's' brain isn't too good either."

  Two silly people kept staring at Wang Yong and smiled, after a while suddenly excitedly clapped their hands: "Dead, not moving, put well, haha, dead, not moving, put well..."

  The winter sun should be warm, but for some reason it feels like there's no warmth at all when it shines into the room. When he smiles, a black tooth appears and it's terrifying and disgusting. He smiles so awkwardly, yet with such innocence, drooling like an infant who has just been born, not understanding anything, with eyes full of wonder at everything.

  I asked Wang Yong to take Er Sha to play elsewhere, but Wang Yong refused.

  I was surprised: "You can't help me with the autopsy even if you stay, and you hate watching autopsies. Since you get along well with Er Gou, why can't you take him somewhere else to play?"

  Xiao Pang forensic pathologist strangely asked: "Director Wang, you can't dissect?! Aren't you a forensic doctor?!" The assisting police officer was also puzzled.

  Wang Yong was not panicked at all, and with a smile, he asked: "You must have never heard the story of the three parrots."

  The story of the three parrots is actually a joke. It says that there was a person who walked into a bird store and saw three parrots that looked almost identical, but with different price tags. The first parrot cost 3,000 yuan, the second one cost 5,000 yuan, and the third one cost 70,000 yuan. The man was very puzzled and asked the store owner: "Why does the first parrot cost 3,000 yuan?"

  The shop owner replied: "The first parrot will use a computer with Windows and send and receive e-mails, so it's 3,000 yuan."

  "What can the second one do?" the man asked.

  "The second parrot not only knows how to use Windows," the shop owner explained, "but can also write computer programs, even more amazing! So it's 5,000 yuan."

  "What about the third one?"

  The shopkeeper replied: "The third parrot can't do anything, but the first two call it boss."

  Wang Yong finished telling the joke, Xiao Pang forensic doctor said: "Wang Yong, since you can't dissect, take Er Sha to play, I'll let Qin be my assistant."

  Wang Yong refused: "Find someone else to take Er Sha, I'll stay here."

  Xiao Pang forensic doctor asked for my opinion: "Qin forensic doctor, what do you think we should do? Should we find another person?"

  Haha, I'm overjoyed.

  From a psychological perspective, those of us who rely on our skills to make a living generally won't kowtow to incompetent leaders. After Wang Yong told the parrot joke, Xiao Pang, the forensic doctor, and Wang Yong instantly transformed from a superior-subordinate relationship to a thorough buddy relationship, with no more nodding or bowing. They even stopped calling him "Director Wang" and directly called him "Wang Yong".

  On the contrary, Xiao Pang forensic asked me, haha! Heart top small flower one by one ~ la la la ~

  I don't know if Wang Yong has any regrets in his heart, anyway getting respect is enough to satisfy my little vanity, hehe, secretly pleased.

  Finally, I handed Er Sha over to the nearby villagers, and Xiao Pang and I performed an autopsy. Wang Yong was wandering around as usual.

  ………

  Day and night I think of you, my soul is tied to yours in dreams, I long for you even in my sleep... What I'm talking about is the corpse of a big fool.

  The corpse of a patient with low intelligence and pica finally lay under my sharp and shiny dissecting knife.

  ……

  Don't be afraid, my love

  I will treat you with gentleness

  Gently brush against your skin

  You are mine

  mine

  mine

  No need to guess anymore

  Place your heart in the palm of my hand

  Only you

  Only you

  Only you can make me shudder all over

  Don't be shy of my love

  You will bloom again for me

  Life

  Life

  Bloom again

  Bloom again...

  ……

  This is a thorough dissection, those almost dry blood vessels make one's heart race! Those withered bones make one's heart surge! That extremely atrophied cerebral hemisphere makes one's heart go crazy! And the straw, rotten meat and mud in the stomach, oh, I'm dizzy with happiness!!……

  "My little piggy, you have two nostrils, your tail is curly..."

  I hummed happily.

  The little fat forensic doctor in charge of filming was a bit frightened by me, but he said stupidly: "Maybe what I lack is this passion."

  Wang Yong couldn't help but say: "Do you have to be so happy dissecting a corpse? People who don't know might think you're sick."

  "What's going on! I'm sick, do you have medicine?"

  Okay, I guess I was a bit too excited, it does look a bit abnormal haha, maybe I really do need to take some medicine, haha (as if I never said that).

  Hold back emotions, I pulled down my gloves and said: "Seal off the scene, call forensics, he's dead."

  "Oh......ah?" Little Fatty forensic doctor reacted after a long time, "How could it be homicide? There's water in the lungs..."

  "If it was a drowning death, the lungs and stomach of the deceased would have had a large amount of water. However, in cases where the body has been submerged for an extended period or if the deceased fell into the water at the moment of death, there may also be a small amount of water in the lungs. But the amount of water in the lungs is too little, clearly indicating that the deceased did not die from drowning. Look here at the spine, the deceased died from a spinal fracture."

  "Uh-huh, I also suspected that it was a fall into the well that caused the spinal fracture and death."

  The deceased's spine had a fracture above the waist, but it was not caused by falling into the well.

  "The deceased had gastric contents in the esophagus and oral cavity. On the back, a separation was found between the trapezius muscle and latissimus dorsi muscle, with an unclear red mark at the fracture site of the spine. This kind of injury can only be caused by hitting a cornered object. I analyzed that 'the deceased had his stomach kicked, rapidly retreated and hit the table, causing vomiting and spinal fracture, and the spinal fracture was the direct cause of his death.'"

  "Red Gang? I didn't see him."

  The deceased had a special physique, and the bleeding of the deep muscles on his back was not obvious at first glance. However, after being pointed out, it could be identified with the naked eye. I pointed out the location of the red mark to Dr. Xiao Pang: "Here. At first glance, you can't see it, this height... I suspect that the deceased was brutally pushed onto that table."

  "Table? Which table?"

  "That's the one over there."

  "Could it be that he died from choking on a mouthful of water? Maybe he accidentally fell into the well and broke his spine, then choked to death on a mouthful of water?"

  "No, although I don't want to say something so cliché, this is a very stubborn life, it's battered and bruised all over, but it indeed managed to survive until yesterday, perhaps because of its foolishness, foolish enough not to feel the hardships of life, foolish enough not to think about the cruelty of fate, foolish enough not to have any idea of ending, foolish enough only having the instinct to live on, no matter what I just want to say that such a life won't die so easily."

  "Hey, this little guy's writing is not bad, but I have to tell you that it's not surprising for a fool to drown in water. I've seen fools drowning when I was young." Wang Yong disagreed with my view.

  Don't test my patience, I didn't take my medicine today!

  "It's already been determined that the cause of death was a spinal fracture. What business is it of yours to randomly insert your opinion? Let Baby Cow roll over by herself!"
