Chapter 303: Dissecting the body, cutting the person open
When Doctor Hao invited Chu Yue to be a military doctor, Chu Yue did not make any requests, but just asked in a joking tone, "After becoming a military doctor, can she wear a military uniform?" At that time, Doctor Hao patted his chest and guaranteed that she could.
Now, Doctor Hao has fulfilled his promise and brought Chu Yue the glory that belongs to her.
With the righteous spirit protected by the military uniform, how could he be afraid of ghosts and gods?
Chu Yue quickly changed her clothes, then got off the car with Doctor Hao, carrying the medicine box.
After getting out of the car, Song Qi supported Doctor Hao, but was pushed away by Doctor Hao.
Doctor Hao said angrily, "I am old, not disabled. I don't need your help."
Song Qi looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Chu Yue gave Song Qi a reassuring look, telling him not to worry, even if Doctor Hao really had an accident, she was there.
Doctor Hao walked in front, limping with a cane.
As they arrived, people from the village hurried over to pick them up.
The person who came was a young man, who looked to be in his thirties. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses and looked like a gentleman and scholar. When he saw the military uniforms of Doctor Hao and others, he was almost speechless with excitement.
"Comrades, you are here... I have finally waited for you... I am Zhang Weimin, the village clerk. Comrades, please follow me... This way..." Zhang Weimin was so nervous that he staggered when he walked, looking more like a lame man than Doctor Hao.
Doctor Hao asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where are your village head and village party secretary?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Weimin burst into tears. The man in his thirties wiped his eyes with his sleeves and said in pain, "Dead... All dead..."
Doctor Hao and Chu Yue frowned deeply at the same time.
Zhang Weimin wiped his tears vigorously, steadied his breathing, and spoke again carefully.
A total of six people died in the village, including the village chief, the village party secretary, a village cadre, and the other three were respected elders in the village.
As a result, all the people in charge of the village died.
That's why it was Zhang Weimin, a clerk, who had to take on the burden of the village.
But he was young and inexperienced, and as an outsider sent to the countryside as educated youth, he could not gain a foothold in the village where interpersonal relationships were complicated, and no one would listen to him.
Zhang Weimin hasn't had a good night's sleep in the three days since the incident.
He choked up and said, "That's six lives... They died so suddenly... I called the village doctor, but he himself fell ill... I went to the hospital and asked for another doctor, but when he came, he just said it was poisoning, but he couldn't find out what the poison was... I really had no other choice, so I had to come to you. Comrade soldiers, I know you must have a way, a way to get to the bottom of it, right? You must give the villagers an explanation."
Zhang Weimin's red and swollen eyes stared at Doctor Hao and Chu Yue, expressing a silent and painful plea.
Doctor Hao turned around and asked Chu Yue, "What do you think?"
Chu Yue said, "Check the poisoned body first."
Doctor Hao nodded and said to Zhang Weimin, "Take us to see the body."
Zhang Weimin was scared. It was the middle of the night and the village was pitch black. He still had to go to the place where six bodies were lying. He took a deep breath before speaking.
"Come with me."
Because the poisoning occurred suddenly and the cause of the poisoning has not been investigated clearly, the six bodies were not allowed to be taken home by their relatives and are still lying in the threshing ground of the production brigade.
As they got closer, they saw more and more white cloth strips hanging and white papers pasted on the doors of every household.
When they arrived at the place, Zhang Weimin stood outside the door, not daring to take another step inside.
"Doctor Hao, Doctor Xiao Chu, they're all... they're all inside..."
In this situation, Song Qi felt a chill down his spine.
Chu Yue was the most calm one. She put down the medicine box, took out a mask and gloves from it, and handed them to Doctor Hao and Song Qi respectively. Since they were poisoned, the toxin would inevitably remain in the body, so protective measures must be taken.
After everything was ready, Chu Yue said to Doctor Hao, "Doctor Hao, let's go in."
"Um."
They walked in with flashlights in their hands and saw six wooden beds covered with white cloths, which made them gasp.
But in the blink of an eye, Chu Yue stood beside the wooden bed, lifted the white cloth, and revealed the dead man's gray face.
The six dead were all elderly people. Chu Yue opened their eyes and mouths and examined them one by one.
Half an hour later.
Chu Yue and Doctor Hao walked out, took off their masks and gloves, and let out a long breath.
Doctor Hao was clearly exhausted by the second half of the night, and he looked exhausted. "Xiao Chu, what do you think?"
"It's poisoning." Chu Yue conducted a preliminary examination and found that judging from the symptoms of the body, it was definitely poisoning.
"What kind of poison?"
Chu Yue said solemnly, "We can't determine the specific poison yet. We have to autopsy the body to find out."
Doctor Hao frowned and thought deeply, while Zhang Weimin beside him suddenly became excited.
"Dissection...you mean you want to...cut the person open..." Zhang Weimin was trembling with fear, his legs shaking. Talking about dissection in this place, aren't you afraid of being haunted by ghosts?
As soon as someone started talking, someone suddenly appeared over there.
"No! You can't do an autopsy! My father died inexplicably, and you can't find the cause. Not only can you not give an explanation, but now you want to open my father's body! No, I don't agree!"
"I disagree! You're simply incompetent. You can't find the cause, and now you're talking about an autopsy. The person is dead, and you've opened him up. What if you still can't find the cause? How are you going to explain yourself?"
"You guys killed my father, and now you don't even want to leave an intact body! Get out! Get out of the village! Don't even come near my father's body!"
The elderly people who died accidentally this time were all people with some prestige in the village, and their descendants were also in the village.
I had heard that someone from the army was coming, and I thought that I could find out the truth about the poisoning, so I came here happily. But as soon as I got closer, I heard Chu Yue say that she wanted to perform an autopsy on the body.
For the villagers living in a backward and isolated area, even death must be dignified and the body must be preserved intact. Dissecting the body is a great disrespect to the deceased.
Not only did they disagree, but they felt it was an insult to them, so they became furious and a group of people surrounded Doctor Hao and Chu Yue, wanting to drive them out of the village.
"Sister-in-law, Doctor Hao, please be careful."
Song Qi quickly stood in front of Chu Yue and Doctor Hao.
He was a soldier after all, with a rugged and sharp aura. He shouted, "Don't come near! If you keep yelling, don't blame me for being rude!"
