Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 Do you dare to bet?

 I wasn't deliberately hiding it, after all, I didn't want to pretend in front of this group of police officers, because my grandfather often taught me to try to keep a low profile outside.

 But she had asked to this point, I had no choice but to reveal a little bit, "In fact, our family's grandparents were all engaged in the profession of coroner, that is, the forensic doctor in ancient times."

 "You mean, all these means you use are the means of the coroner?" Huang Xiaotao asked smartly.

 "Yes, otherwise what do you think? It's not something I came up with out of the blue, it's all the wisdom of the old ancestors." I replied.

 Everyone knows more or less about the profession of coroner through movies and TV dramas, but not many people are clear about how coroner actually examines the corpse? Because this profession is too mysterious, so mysterious that it is even rarer than monks and Taoist priests.

 Huang Xiaotao murmured: "It seems that the ancients are not stupid!"

 I laughed: "What do you call this, do you think that in those thousands of years without cell phones and TVs, Chinese people lived like gorillas? In fact, many of China's technologies have been leading the world, and have only gradually declined since the Qing Dynasty. The spiritual wealth left behind by the ancients, such as the I Ching, the Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon, and so on, contain great knowledge, and even now many experts cannot fully penetrate them."

 Huang Xiaotao shook her head and said, "Those arcane things are all feudal superstitions, I don't understand them and I don't really believe in them."

 "Then you just watched my autopsy and thought it was a feudal superstition? But why did I do scientific explanations at every step so that you had to believe it?" I asked.

 "Alright, I admit, you do have quite a knack for it." Huang Xiaotao helplessly admitted defeat.

 I secretly laughed, listening to her, she only meant to admit that I had two tricks up my sleeve, rather than admitting that ancient people were great. Modern people grew up under the influence of modern civilization, and have always felt that having a plane or car is superior, and this kind of concept can't be screwed up for a while.

 So, I didn't bother to say anything more.

 "Is the body still going to continue to be examined?" Huang Xiaotao asked.

 "There's nothing left to examine, it's still early, let's go check something." I clapped my hands and said.

 "Good!" Huang Xiaotao nodded.

 Just then, an old man in a white coat carrying a box in his hand, followed by two police officers, walked in in style.

 I took a look and realized that it was Forensic Doctor Qin, thinking to myself, didn't this old man announce that he had quit the case? How come he's back again, his skin is too thick.

 "Nothing to test?" Dr. Qin smiled coldly, glanced towards the scene and said, "Playing God, the coroner is marvelous, DNA did you test? Did you test the fingerprints? A good corpse to you tossed into this ghost, Huang Xiaotao, you when the murder scene is a kindergarten ah, with this kid to play, go back to see how you explain to the superiors."

 It seems that our conversation just now was heard by him, Huang Xiaotao frowned, "Doctor Qin, didn't you say you quit this case? How come you're back again."

 "Yes, I did say I quit, but it was to quit that hanging suicide case, not this severed head case." Forensic doctor Qin said with a stern face.

 "Come on, these two cases are clearly the work of the same murderer!" Huang Xiaotao cried and laughed.

 "It's useless for you to talk to me about this, if you have anything to explain to Team Lin, just now Team Lin called and asked why I wasn't at the scene. I told him that you didn't ask me to check it out and brought a college student of unknown origin to fool around. Lin team was furious, your team leader was removed, now this task force is fully taken over by me, if you don't believe me, you can call and ask him!" Forensic doctor Qin said smugly, with a completely villainous face.

 Huang Xiaotao was so angry that she glared with rounded eyes, her small pink fists clenched tightly.

 I thought to myself that this medical examiner Qin is really cunning and crafty, surely he suffered from the anger in my place and secretly ran to his superiors to make a small report. It is estimated that when he made a small report, he also added oil and vinegar, and recklessly blackened the two of us.

 This just changed a token arrow, can not wait to come to retrieve the scene!

 Coroner Qin pulled out his cell phone and handed it to Huang Xiaotao coldly saying, ''You'd better hurry up and give Team Lin a call to explain! Strive for leniency and still be able to stay in my task force to contribute."

 He purposely put "my" two words bite very heavy, obviously in our face!

 Huang Xiaotao didn't answer, so Medical Examiner Qin put away his cell phone and glanced at me carelessly, "Kid, do you know what crime it is to defile a corpse?"

 "Insulting a corpse? Which one of your eyes saw me insulting a corpse, I was performing an autopsy!" I nonchalantly said back, originally thinking of his age and seniority, I still had a line in the sand for him, but now it seems that there is no need for that.

 "Humph, you call this an autopsy, do you have a forensic qualification? I think you're just messing around." Forensic doctor Qin said angrily.

 "If I solved the case by messing around, then wouldn't you, a professional forensic pathologist, be a waste?" I replied.

 "Joke, just with these strange and bizarre means of yours you want to solve the case, do you think that all of us police forensic pathologists combined are still no match for one of you? One day you have time to sit in my house, I think you and my grandson definitely have a common language, he likes watching the kind of childish cartoons like Detective Conan the most." Doctor Qin walked up to me and sneered.

 I wasn't angered by his provocation, my expression was unusually calm instead, "Medical Examiner Qin, do you mean that Huang Xiaotao is now kicked out of the task force?"

 "Right! She should really thank you." Forensic Doctor Qin said.

 "That means she can act alone now?" I continued to ask.

 Medical Examiner Qin laughed out loud, "Kid, you don't mean to say that you two solved the case alone! Not to mention whether or not you have the ability to do so, disobeying commands and acting without authorization is punishable by disciplinary action."

 "Don't talk nonsense, what if I solved the case?" I immediately asked.

 "If you solve the case ...," Qin forensic doctor suddenly paused for a moment, I can see that he is hesitating, he has just planted a big heel in me, and now he doesn't dare to brag about it.

 I deliberately provoked him: "Saying so much, you actually still have no bottom in your heart, and don't dare to bet against me as a brat, do you want me to share some information with you? I seem to remember that you just said that if I solve the case, you will voluntarily resign, is this still true?"

 Forensic doctor Qin said angrily, "Kid, you're less arrogant, I'll put my words here now, if you can solve the case, I'll resign immediately! But don't be complacent, what will you do if I solve the case ahead of you?"

 I asked Huang Xiaotao, "How many years will I be sentenced for the crime of defiling a corpse?"

 "Less than three years in prison."

 "Fine, if you solve the case in front of me, arrest me for the crime of defiling a corpse, I promise not to hire a lawyer and be at your mercy!" I said.

 "Hey!" Huang Xiaotao exclaimed, "Song Yang, you can't talk nonsense about such things, defiling a corpse is a felony, you can't be so impulsive! It's no big deal if the case isn't investigated."

 Coroner Qin interrupted her, "Fine, a man's word is his bond, just do as you say!"

 "Then we'll see!" I smiled slightly.

 "Hmph, we'll see!" Medical Examiner Qin said with a dark face.

 I kept my hand in my pocket when I was just talking, and used my cell phone to record this conversation, so that this old man wouldn't deny it again when the time came.

 I am a low-key person, but Medical Examiner Qin, relying on his seniority, is now riding on me and Huang Xiaotao's head to shit.

 If I can tolerate it, if I don't tell your old face to swell up three feet high this time, I won't be surnamed Song.

 "Xiaotao, let's go, hurry to find those two witnesses!"

 After saying that I walked towards the outside, Huang Xiaotao glared fiercely at medical examiner Qin and followed me out.
