Chapter 298 The Baby is Coming

"Are you okay? Or why don't you just not come in and just look at the corpse later."

Shen Yun was already in the morgue. When he heard his daughter's voice, he hurried out to check.

Shen Yuan waved her hands and took out a sachet from her sleeve. She asked Qing Dai to make it, and it was filled with dried orange peels. Smelling this scent could also relieve the nausea.

The deceased was an old woman with gray hair. Her body looked very intact, and at first glance there was no sign of fatal wounds, but there were some bruises and old scars on her body.

"Sir, to find out the cause of death, it seems an autopsy is necessary," said the coroner.

Since the cause of death cannot be determined from the outside, the only option is to perform an autopsy.

Shen Yun nodded. The autopsy would take time to complete, so he and Shen Yuan left the morgue first.

"Dad, now we have to find the identity of the victim. I will go back and draw the portrait."

Shen Yun nodded, then looked at his daughter's face and asked, "What's wrong with you today? You look so bad, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Shen Yuan shook her head and was about to say that she just felt a little disgusted and didn't feel uncomfortable, but suddenly she remembered something. It seemed that her period had not come for quite some time. Qingdai had reminded her of this before, but it wasn't long ago. This had happened before, so she didn't take it seriously for the time being.

That was three months ago, she stopped taking the medicine after discussing it with Xie Hui, so they were both mentally prepared for pregnancy. However, when this day might really come, Shen Yuan still couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Seeing that his daughter was silent and in a daze, Shen Yun thought that she was really unwell, and was so scared that he wanted to find a doctor immediately.

"What's wrong? Are you really feeling unwell? Come with dad to see a doctor."

Shen Yuan was stunned and said, "Dad, it seems like you are going to be a grandfather?"

Shen Yuan swore that this was the first time in her life that she saw her father jump three feet high. He really jumped up on the spot.

"Go sit in my duty room and wait for Dad to come back."

"good."

"You are not allowed to go anywhere until Dad comes back. Do you understand?"

Shen Yuan obediently went to her father's duty room. She knew that her father must have gone to find a doctor for her, but she was not idle either. She took paper and pen from the table and started to draw the portrait. The brush was not very effective, so she went back to her own duty room to get the charcoal that she used specially for drawing.

After drawing more than ten pictures, Shen Yuan suddenly remembered someone saying that if you look at someone more while you are pregnant, the child will look like that person. She quickly took out a piece of paper and drew another one to thank him.

"Xiaobao, that was just official business. What you saw doesn't count. You have to remember to look like your mother or your father. Of course, if you look like your grandparents, or your maternal grandparents, or your uncle, that's fine too."

Shen Yuan thought her father would go outside to find a doctor, or simply find a doctor in the Dali Temple, but she didn't expect her father to directly find an imperial physician.

I don't know when her father started to have connections in the Imperial Hospital.

"Lao Kang, please show my daughter to me."

"Don't worry, you have to give me a breath. If I run so fast, my breath won't be even and I won't be able to take my pulse properly."

Doctor Kang is usually a slow person. I speak slowly and do things slowly. If I were not a top-notch doctor and an expert in gynecology, I would not be able to continue working in the Imperial Hospital.

Shen Yun also knew Doctor Kang's temper, so he had to wait patiently.

"Dad, don't be anxious. It doesn't matter if it happens earlier or later."

"Your daughter is right. When seeking medical advice, the most unacceptable thing is to be impatient. Unfortunately, people are always impatient..."

Doctor Kang is not only slow-tempered, but also talkative.

By the time I really checked Shen Yuan's pulse, a quarter of an hour had passed.

"The little girl is in good health."

As a doctor, what I like most is to take the pulse of people like this.

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Dr. Kang is overjoyed."

"Yes... I am indeed pregnant. I am about one month pregnant now. The baby... is healthy, and I am also feeling good as a mother."

"really?!"

"Old Shen, you are so ungrateful. If you question my medical skills, you shouldn't have come to me."

"Don't misunderstand, Doctor Kang, my father is so happy to be a grandfather."

Doctor Kang packed his things slowly. The Imperial Hospital had rules, not an imperial decree, that doctors could not treat outsiders when on duty. But no one would care if they left the Imperial Hospital. Doctor Kang had asked for leave today to diagnose Shen Yuan.

But it just so happened that Doctor Kang didn't want to go back to the Imperial Hospital today. Since he had already asked for leave, he naturally went straight home.

"Old Shen, I won't charge you for the consultation fee. Remember to treat me to a drink next time."

Shen Yun seemed to have just come to his senses and asked Doctor Kang, "Is my daughter really okay? She didn't look well today and even vomited."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm much healthier than you and me. Morning sickness is different for everyone. Just eat what you want on weekdays. If the morning sickness is severe and you can't eat anything, come and see me."

"Thank you very much. I will definitely treat you to a drink someday."

After Doctor Kang left, Shen Yuan asked her father, "When did you get to know Doctor Kang? Why didn't I know him before?"

"You knew it before you were born. There are many things you don't know. Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?"

"I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat." Shen Yuan took out the portrait he had just drawn, "Dad, this is the portrait. You can post it to find someone."

"Manman, why don't you just stop caring about this case. The Dali Temple is not short of manpower right now, so you can take a rest first."

Shen Yuan refused without thinking, "No, Dad, I'm not feeling unwell right now. Doctor Kang just said I'm fine. I won't be stubborn. I won't go out. I'll stay in the Dali Temple. I'll be fine."

Shen Yun thought about it and finally agreed, "Okay, but you have to stay in the Dali Temple for the time being. The place where the body was found is on the mountain, and it's snowing. You must not go there."

"I understand, Dad. Just supervise me. I know the importance of this matter and won't do anything rash."

Shen Yun quickly arranged to find the identity of the victim, and in the afternoon, the coroner had completed the autopsy.

Surprisingly, the cause of death remains unclear.

"No signs of poisoning were found. The only possible cause of death seems to be heart disease."

"Did the deceased have a heart disease?"

"Yes, and the deceased's heart disease must have been going on for a long time. This kind of heart disease is common among older people, and sudden death is also common when the disease breaks out. If this is the case, the deceased may not have been killed by someone."

The coroner meant that this person might have died of a sudden heart attack.

This is all the autopsy can do now. All we have to do now is to find out the identity of this person and then make arrangements for the next step.

When the shift was over in the afternoon, Shen Yun originally wanted his daughter to go back with him, but Shen Yuan wanted to go back first and wait for Xie Hui to come back, and then the two of them would go to her house together.

"Dad, please don't tell my brother and sister-in-law yet. I want to tell them myself."

"Okay, I won't tell you. Go home slowly."

However, Shen Yun reminded her several times, but she was still worried and chose to send her daughter home herself before returning home.

…

"Brother Youqi, I want to show you something." Shen Yuan handed a painting back to Xie.

"What?" Xie Hui took the painting and opened it. It was easy to tell that the painting showed the two of them, and there was also... a fat baby between them."

Xie Hui suddenly understood something and held his breath.

"Manman, is that what I thought?"

Shen Yuan deliberately asked: "How do I know what you are thinking?"

Xie Hui gently hugged Shen Yuan, "We have a child, right?"

"Yes, you're going to be a father."
