Chapter 82 This girl is pretty good too
"Sister-in-law, how come you don't know this?" Auntie scolded, "We only examine the dead."
Zhang Qiuxia said "oh" twice, not quite understanding what she meant.
Zhou Yi had no choice but to explain, "Simply put, after a murder occurs, the forensic doctor is responsible for performing an autopsy on the victim, and then we, the criminal police, are responsible for solving the case."
Zhang Qiuxia nodded repeatedly. "It's pretty much the same as a doctor. Doctors treat living people, while forensic pathologists treat the dead, right?"
My aunt interrupted, "Why bother examining a dead person? Didn't Zhou Yi just say it's called an autopsy?"
Xu Nian was a very smart person, so he naturally noticed the subtle change in Zhou Yi's mother's attitude.
Zhou Yi also knew that he had just told his mother to find an auspicious day to move, because his mother knew her best and she was a very superstitious person.
Jobs like forensic medicine and funeral homes, which involve dealing with the dead all day long, may not be viewed with tinted glasses in 20 or 30 years.
But in the 1980s and 1990s, it was still quite taboo, especially among the older generation.
The main reason is the fear of bad luck and encountering bad luck.
My aunt immediately said, "Forensic pathologists are great. They're in the system, and their jobs are stable. They're a perfect match for Zhou Yi's job."
Xu Nian blushed and said nothing.
Zhang Qiuxia nodded reluctantly and said, "Yes, the forensic doctor is also very good."
My aunt came over and asked, "Xiao Xu, do you have a partner? What do your parents do?"
Seeing that it was about to turn into a large-scale blind date scene, Zhou Yi immediately stopped it.
"Hey, Auntie, what are you doing? We are just ordinary colleagues. Besides, I just came to work at the Municipal Bureau. How can I have time to think about other things? I am already busy investigating cases."
Half of these words were said to my mother and aunt, and the other half was said to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian smiled and said, "Zhou Yi is right. The work at the Municipal Bureau is very busy. He is in his development period now, so he must focus on work."
Then he turned to Zhou Yi and said, "You should have a good rest first. I will come to see you when I have time."
Zhou Yi smiled and nodded.
He knew that Xu Nian understood the meaning of his words. Although it was a bit cruel, he would suffer the consequences if he hesitated to make a decision.
The fate between the two of them ended in the previous life.
As soon as Xu Nian left, Zhang Qiuxia said to Zhou Yi, "Son, let's not look for a forensic pathologist. It's unlucky to deal with the dead all day long."
"Mom, then I deal with the dead all day long, too."
Zhang Qiuxia was stunned for a moment, and after a moment she murmured, "No...it's different."
"Mom, we're just ordinary colleagues. Don't overthink it. Besides, he comes from an educated family. His father is a director and his mother is a professor. We're not the same kind of people."
Zhang Qiuxia nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "That's true. They're not a good match. My son is so outstanding, he can't be someone else's son-in-law. That would make people look down on him."
Zhou Yi was at a loss for words. He didn't expect his mother to have such concerns.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm not planning on finding a girlfriend for now. I still have a lot of things to do."
After a while, Zhou Jianguo came back.
The family chatted for a few more minutes, and Zhou Yi asked his parents to go back and rest early. Zhang Qiuxia was reluctant to leave at first and wanted to stay with her son.
In the end, Zhou Yi forcibly sent him back. Zhang Qiuxia covered her son with a quilt and watched him lie down before she felt relieved.
The three of them were about to open the door and leave when they bumped into someone.
"Excuse me, is Officer Zhou Yizhou here?" a timid voice asked outside the door.
Hearing this voice, Zhou Yi immediately got out of bed, ignoring the pain of his wound, and ran to the door of the ward.
Sure enough, the person standing at the door was Lu Xiaoshuang.
She had her hair tied in a ponytail, a bandage wrapped around her neck, and had changed into plain casual clothes. She looked visibly nervous.
"Officer Zhou...Officer Zhou?" Lu Xiaoshuang didn't dare to confirm, because under the circumstances it was actually difficult for her to remember Zhou Yi's appearance.
Zhou Yi's parents and aunt looked at the girl at the door, then looked at their son who ran down from the bed, and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Dad, Mom, Aunt, you guys go back first. I want to talk to her alone for a while."
The three people who were about to say something, seeing Zhou Yi's serious expression, immediately nodded tactfully and left.
Zhang Qiuxia looked back as she walked and saw Lu Xiaoshuang walk in and disappear from her sight.
My aunt smiled and said, "Your Zhou Yi is quite popular with women. This girl looks no worse than the one just now. She's also very pretty."
Zhang Qiuxia murmured, "I just don't know what he does. I hope another forensic doctor doesn't come. It's unlucky to deal with the dead."
"No way, I think this girl is much younger than that Xiao Xu from before. She looks like a student. I don't think she is much older than our Feifei."
Feifei is my aunt's daughter, Zhou Yi's cousin, and is a sophomore in high school this year.
Seeing the two of them talking back and forth, Zhou Jianguo turned around, glared at them, and said, "What are you talking about? Didn't you hear that it was Officer Zhou who was being called? Zhou Yi represents the Municipal Bureau now, so please be careful about the impact, okay?"
…
In the ward, Zhou Yi walked back to the bedside and sat down. He pointed to the chair next to him and said softly, "Please sit for a while."
But Lu Xiaoshuang did not sit down, but suddenly bowed respectfully to Zhou Yi.
"Thank you, Officer Zhou, for saving my life."
"No, no, no." Zhou Yi, who was about to sit down, quickly helped her up. "I'm a police officer. This is my duty."
After Lu Xiaoshuang sat down, Zhou Yi looked at her. This was the first time he had come into such close contact with her.
This feeling is so magical that Zhou Yi doesn't know how to describe it.
During those eight years, in that archive room, I flipped through the files of the grand case countless times, looking at page after page of investigation materials and one horrific autopsy photo after another.
Sometimes he even had auditory hallucinations, as if he heard Lu Xiaoshuang calling for help, begging him to save her.
And now, Lu Xiaoshuang was sitting right in front of him, feeling a little reserved, blushing, and at a loss.
But her every move is so vivid.
Zhou Yi couldn't express this feeling in words.
Lu Xiaoshuang was a little nervous at first. She didn't understand why her savior was staring at her like that.
But slowly, she discovered that the other person's eyes were very gentle and full of compassion.
"Officer Zhou, have we... met before?"
"I have seen it." Zhou Yi said with a smile.
Zhou Yi's words made Lu Xiaoshuang stunned, "Why don't I have any impression of you?"
"I met you on the road when I went to Hongda not long ago. Of course, I didn't know who you were at that time. I only found out today." Of course, Zhou Yi couldn't tell the truth, let alone something that hadn't happened yet.
Lu Xiaoshuang smiled, her face filled with youthfulness.
"It seems that God has been kind to me."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Our previous encounter led to Officer Zhou saving my life today."
Zhou Yi looked at her and suddenly asked, "Lu Xiaoshuang, if you died today, would you have any regrets?"
