C91 (1/2)

Under the arrangements of the Director-general Zhang, I was brought to the autopsy room.

He didn't know how it happened, but it was as if this Captain Hu had been wronged by me in his previous life. He just didn't like me and didn't stop on the way there. He looked at me with his slanted eyebrows, and said with a weird tone: ”Ma Que right? Where did this come from? How did you connect this line with the Director-general Zhang?”

I smiled wryly as I couldn't be bothered to respond to him. My mind started working, thinking that I was just a passerby in this city. What does this case have to do with me?

Since I have made up my mind, I ignored Captain Hu and let him talk a lot.

However, from his words, I managed to get a hold of a piece of information. It turned out that Captain Hu thought that I was sent down from the organization, so participating in this case was just a formality.

Furthermore, the Captain Hu had also said that he himself was the infamous' black pot king 'of the police department. After working for dozens of years, he had not only become the scapegoat, but had also established a legend that he had not been promoted in fifteen years.

Looking at his slovenly appearance and piercing eyes, I thought it was a miracle that he had been able to survive in the police force until now.

Forget about everything else, just based on his attitude towards Director-general Zhang, even I am not willing to promote him.

I quickly arrived at the autopsy room. It was cold inside, with a strong Formalin smell, making me dizzy from choking. However, in order to deal with this matter earlier, I clenched my teeth and walked in.

The Captain Hu was not the least bit polite as he registered at the entrance. After which, he looked at me sideways and said: ”Ma Que, quickly come in. If you want to climb up, we can't be related at all.”

I gritted my teeth and swallowed the words that were about to leave my mouth.

All sorts of strange instruments were arranged neatly at the side. There was a faint smell of blood in the room. In the center of the room, there was a large autopsy table covered with white cloth. Needless to say, this was the dead man.

However, I wasn't in a hurry to see it. I didn't want to see it either. I had imagined what it would be like inside the autopsy room countless times before. However, when I truly entered into it, I realized that my imagination was too weak.

The white instruments, the cold and gloomy freezer, the white cloth stained with mottled blood, the motionless corpse, everything here was stirring my nerves. I felt my scalp go numb and I couldn't breathe even after a while.

In my opinion, this isn't an autopsy room, this is clearly a slaughterhouse!

Wasn't the medical examiner wearing a mask and a white robe the butcher of this slaughterhouse?

I forcefully suppressed the twitching sensation in my stomach and covered my mouth to inhale two mouthfuls of Formalin and the smell of blood. I greeted the forensic doctor simply and just as I was about to speak, the Captain Hu acted as if it was on purpose and didn't give me any time to prepare.

I was already feeling very uncomfortable, but with Captain Hu making a ruckus, in the blink of an eye, that bare white corpse was revealed in front of me. I couldn't hold it in any longer, I felt a chill on my head, and my mouth turned bitter as food that I hadn't eaten for a long time was suddenly spat out. Luckily, there was a pond not too far away.

It was too bloody, too f * cking scary!

I suddenly started to suspect if Director-general Zhang had deliberately come to mess with me.

After an unknown period of time, I finally felt a little better. I panted heavily as I washed my face, only to see that Captain Hu was standing by the side with his hands folded across his chest. His eyes coldly looked at me, and his face was filled with pleasure and playfulness.

I knew that I couldn't beat him, and I couldn't scold him either. Thus, I could only grit my teeth and sniffle in embarrassment as I asked the medical examiner, ”Officer Wang, please tell me about the situation.”

However, what I didn't expect was that before Officer Wang could open his mouth, the Captain Hu would interrupt and say in a weird tone, ”You ask the medical examiner for everything, what else do I need you for?”

To tell the truth, when I heard those words, I was truly angered. However, thinking that a warrior can be killed but not humiliated, and adding that the Director-general Zhang also gave me a general idea, I actually shut my mouth angrily after hearing what he said. I gave an embarrassed smile to Officer Wang and turned to walk towards the corpse.

However, even though the situation looked much better for the second time, I still couldn't help but feel my scalp go numb.

The blood and intestines were mixed, red and white, making it look extremely disgusting. I slightly closed my eyes, forcing myself to suppress the discomfort in my heart, thinking to myself that I shouldn't let this Hu surnamed Hu see me flatten out, I leaned closer, slightly narrowing my eyes, trying my best not to look at this most bloody and terrifying part of the body, and only glanced at the other parts of the body.

The deceased was as Director-general Zhang had said, in his forties. However, because of the high intensity of work, he looked rather old, even when he was lying on the autopsy bed. His hair was messy, and his beard was not shaved.

I could not help but feel sad. I thought to myself, how can this person who lives at the bottom of society and desperately struggles to survive die in vain?

Could it be that the heavens really had no eyes?

Fortunately, he looked as if he had died peacefully. His face was very calm, as if he had fallen asleep.

This time, Captain Hu didn't push me any further. Instead, he also leaned over like me, carefully inspecting my surroundings. However, he didn't say a single word during the entire process, as if he was intentionally keeping a secret from me.

As for me, since I only looked at the dead man's face, I knew almost nothing about the actual autopsy.
