Chapter 173 Angel of Death: Who Stole the Body

Li Ruiqing's face changed, and he walked over in a panic. He wanted to touch the little bear, but was stopped by Fang Rui, "Mr. Li, you are not wearing gloves, don't touch it."

"This little bear belongs to Yangyang. I gave it to him on his seventh birthday." Li Ruiqing looked at the little bear and murmured, "Yangyang's body is here. I brought it here with the nurse at that time. How could it suddenly disappear?"

Fang Rui looked at the nurse Chen Li. She was the nurse on duty in Yangyang's ward that night, and she and Li Ruiqing were the ones who sent Yangyang's body to the morgue together.

Chen Li stammered, "Mr. Li and I brought the body here. I'm sure his body was on this bed. Mr. Li said that Yangyang liked this little bear the most, so we put the little bear in Yangyang's arms. Why is there only this little bear left now?"

There are not many bodies in the morgue. Most patients are first sent to the funeral home for cremation after they die. Only a small number of bodies with medical disputes or the family members of the deceased who have not come to claim them will be temporarily stored here.

Li Yang died on the evening of August 9, which was about 8 o'clock the night before yesterday. Feng Xiaonan refused to send the child to the funeral home. She held the child's body and did not let go for the whole night.

At 9:10 the next morning, Li Ruiqing and nurse Chen Li secretly sent the child's body to the morgue while Feng Xiaonan was asleep.

Originally, Li Ruiqing planned to pick up the child for cremation first, but the hospital was afraid of the trouble Feng Xiaonan would cause to the hospital and that the child's body would be gone and it would be hard to disentangle it, so they temporarily put the body in the morgue and waited for the forensic doctor to come and perform an autopsy.

They searched the morgue, but did not find Yangyang's body.

Fortunately, surveillance was installed in the corridor outside the morgue and in the transport elevator.

"Let's check the surveillance, and we will definitely find the person who moved the body."

Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang went to the surveillance room to check the surveillance, and Fang Rui and Mu Mian questioned nurses Chen Li and Li Ruiqing respectively.

The first person to inquire was Chen Li.

Before Fang Rui could ask, Chen Li spoke first: "Police comrade, do you think it was Yangyang's mother Feng Xiaonan who stole Yangyang's body? She is not mentally normal and loves her child so much, so she is most likely to have stolen the child's body."

Mu Mian said: "If she stole it, she would have been holding the child's body when she was making trouble in your hospital." Seeing Chen Li's strange expression, Mu Mian added: "That's how it's played in TV dramas."

"Then there is no suspect. Who would steal a child's body?"

Mu Mian asked: "Is there no doctor in your hospital who is interested in corpses?"

"Our doctors are not perverts, they are only interested in treating living people."

Fang Rui asked: "Does the child's father often come to the hospital to take care of the child?"

"Yangyang's father doesn't come here very often, he's very busy at work. He occasionally comes over at night, but he only stays for one or two hours. The rest of the time, the child's mother and grandmother take turns to take care of her.

Oh, I think Yangyang's mother's mental illness was also forced out. The child was in trouble, and the mother was already distressed and self-blaming enough. Her mother-in-law also fiercely accused her of doing this and that every day. She also scolded her for not taking good care of the child that day, which led to the child's car accident. In addition, Yangyang's mother was almost exhausted from taking care of the child day and night."

Chen Li is also a mother, so she can empathize with Feng Xiaonan. She even suspected that if this continued, Feng Xiaonan might be the first to die.

"So it's the mother who takes care of the child most of the time?" "

Yes. Her mother-in-law comes over every day during the day, but she only nags and watches TV series on her phone. It's basically Yangyang's mother who takes care of the child herself. Yangyang's mother is very responsible. Yangyang has been bedridden for so long, but she doesn't have bedsores and is clean every day. She takes better care of her than professional caregivers."

Fang Rui asked, "After Yangyang passed away, didn't her grandmother come to make trouble?"

"No. I also find it strange. Yangyang's grandmother is so fierce, but she didn't come to the hospital to make trouble. Instead, it was Yangyang's mother, who looked gentle and weak, who made trouble."

Mu Mian asked, "What was Yangyang like before he passed away?"

"I was on duty at the time. It was almost eight o'clock when Yangyang's mother ran to the nurses' station and said that the child had stopped breathing. I rushed to the ward and found that the child's face was not right. I immediately contacted the doctor for rescue, but the rescue was ineffective."

Mu Mian asked: "Didn't he use an ECG monitor at the time?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you find that his heart rate and breathing were abnormal? Didn't the instrument sound an alarm?"

Chen Li's face was a little embarrassed. She explained: "There was a patient being rescued that night, and the entire nurses' station was very busy. At that time, I was in another ward changing the IV for other patients, and I didn't find the abnormality in the first time."

Li Ruiqing received a call saying that there was an emergency, so he took it away first. So the questioning of him was not completed.

After the questioning, Fang Rui and Mu Mian went to the security room to find Xiao Li and others.

They are still looking at surveillance.

Xiao Zhang analyzed: "This can't really be a murder case, right? Otherwise, how could the child's body suddenly disappear? The person who stole the body definitely doesn't want us to investigate the child's cause of death."

Mu Mian agreed: "It's possible. The common causes of death of vegetative patients are infection and organ failure, which should be a cumulative process. It is unlikely that he died without any warning. Li Yang's death was too sudden."

"The person who could steal the body is either Li Yang's family or a doctor. Who could have stolen it?"

Xiao Zhang said: "Don't you think that Li Ruiqing's attitude is very strange. His child died, but he was so calm. And the child's body was stolen, but he was not angry at all? If it were me, I would have to turn the hospital upside down to find the child's body."

Mu Mian retorted: "Some people are more calm when facing death, like me."

"Mianmian, you are not representative." Chen Xue said.

Xiao Wang thought more realistically: "Well, he probably cried until he was numb when the child got into the accident, and now he feels relieved. Think about it, how difficult it is to take care of a vegetative child. It costs money and effort, and the child's death is a relief for both the child and the parents. He probably can get a car accident compensation. Thinking of the money, he probably won't be so sad."

Fang Rui said: "Li Ruiqing doesn't seem to want us to investigate the cause of the child's death. Even if he doesn't care about the child, can he not care about the money? If the matter is really a big deal, the hospital will probably spend money to settle the matter. Why doesn't he make a fuss with his wife?"

"Could it be that he loves the child very much and doesn't want to use the child to make money?"

"This is unlikely. The nurse said that he basically doesn't come to the hospital to take care of the child."

After this analysis, everyone felt that this Li Ruiqing was not normal.

"Don't discuss it, let's find the person who stole the body first." Mu Mian urged.

"Looking for it."

Not many people have been to the morgue, and basically nurses and family members go in together. Few people go in alone. They quickly identified a person.

The man was wearing a loose white coat, tall and thin, and he wore a mask that covered his face. His hair was thick and fluffy, making his head look big.

At 12:08 p.m. yesterday, the man entered the morgue alone with empty hands. After staying for about seven minutes, he came out again.

"He didn't take the body away. Could the body still be in the morgue?"
