Chapter 275 Enough, Don't Make Any Speculations
Jiang Chengyu slowly opened the door of the room in Jinyang Villa. The morning sun shone through the window into the living room, forming golden light and shadows. He looked a little tired, but he still held Mu Xiaoji's shoulders steadily and walked into the room step by step.
In the room, Mu Huiying was holding a rag and busy in every corner. She was such a person who could not sit still, and always felt that every corner of the house needed her careful care, as if only in this way could the home be full of warmth.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door opening and subconsciously turned her head to look.
When she saw Jiang Chengyu holding Mu Xiaoji, she showed surprise on her face, her eyes full of worry and confusion, and hurriedly said: "Yu'er, you are awake? Xiaoji, what's wrong?"
Jiang Chengyu looked at his mother, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he responded softly: "Mom, I'm sorry, I made you worry. At Huiying Bookstore... Teacher Gu passed away!"
When Mu Huiying heard this, the rag in her hand almost fell to the ground. She widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "What did you say? Teacher Gu...died? When did it happen?"
Jiang Chengyu lowered his eyebrows, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and he slowly said: "It was around five in the morning, Qin Shuyue called. When we hurried over, Teacher Gu...had already left."
As he spoke, he carefully settled Mu Xiaoji on the sofa, his eyes full of pity.
Mu Huiying felt sad when she heard the news, but she quickly came to her senses and said to Mu Xiaoji, "Xiaoji, I'm sorry. When people get old, they will have to go through this sooner or later.
You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Mom cooked lean meat porridge early this morning. It's delicious. Come to the restaurant and eat some while it's hot."
When Mu Xiaoji heard Mu Huiying's words, he slowly stood up from the sofa. His eyes were still a little empty, as if he was still immersed in the grief of Teacher Gu's death.
He took Jiang Chengyu's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Little Monster, let's go and have breakfast."
Jiang Chengyu silently followed Mu Xiaoji to the dining table, while Mu Huiying hurriedly brought the lean meat porridge, freshly fried dough sticks, and steaming buns that had just been taken out of the pot to the table.
She picked up a pair of chopsticks, handed them to Mu Ji, and said gently, "Xiao Ji, eat while it's hot. If you're not satisfied, there's more in the pot. Don't starve yourself."
When Mu Xiaoji saw that his mother only brought one portion, he knew that his mother was still resentful towards the little monster.
He couldn't help but take the chopsticks, and put the lean meat porridge and chopsticks in front of Jiang Chengyu, and said with concern in his eyes: "Little monster, eat it while it's hot. You have hardly eaten anything during these days of coma. Your body must be very weak, which is why you feel weak all over.
I want you to be healthy and accompany me through the long journey of life. Don't leave me quietly like Teacher Gu did."
As he spoke, tears couldn't help but roll down his cheeks. Those crystal tears were filled with pain for Teacher Gu's departure and deep attachment to Jiang Chengyu.
Jiang Chengyu looked at Mu Xiaoji with tears in his eyes. He nodded and picked up the lean meat porridge. He did not dare to look into Mu Xiaoji's eyes. He just lowered his head and quickly ate the porridge in the bowl, one mouthful after another, as if he wanted to swallow all his sadness along with the hot porridge.
Mu Huiying felt distressed when she saw this scene, and turned around and brought another bowl of lean meat porridge.
Mu Xiaoji took the porridge and ate it without hesitation. He also picked up the buns and put them in the bowl for the little monster, "Little monster, eat more."
Jiang Chengyu nodded with a smile, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Jiang Chengyu also picked up a bun and put it into Mu Xiaoji's bowl: "Let's eat together."
Mu Xiaoji and Jiang Chengyu ate with hearty mouthfuls, as if at this moment, only the feeling of fullness brought by the food could make them temporarily forget the pain brought by the ruthless years and give them the courage to face this sudden change.
Luo Jinxi, wearing a spotless white coat, stood with a solemn expression in the cold autopsy room filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.
The pale lights all around shone mercilessly on the dissection table, as if to expose all the secrets on the table in this cold space.
The forensic doctor was concentrating on the dissection operation. The tools in his hands were shining coldly under the light, and every movement was precise and careful.
He worked methodically while reporting calmly, "The deceased is Gu Xuewen, male, 76 years old. The time of death was around a.m. Based on the degree of rigor mortis, the development of livor mortis, and various physiological indicators, this time point has a high degree of accuracy."
The medical examiner frowned slightly and continued, "The cause of death was a sudden myocardial infarction.
Here you can see that the coronary artery is in very serious condition. There are a lot of atherosclerotic plaques on the blood vessel wall, and the inner membrane is rough and uneven. At a certain point in the coronary artery,
A large blood clot completely blocked the blood vessel, causing acute myocardial ischemia and subsequently triggering a large area of myocardial infarction. "
"Looking at the stomach, there are obvious signs of long-term drug maintenance. The gastric mucosa has varying degrees of congestion and erosion, which is the result of long-term drug stimulation.
Some incompletely digested drug residues were found in the stomach. After careful analysis, it was found that these drugs were mainly nitrates used to relieve angina pectoris, as well as some auxiliary drugs for protecting the gastric mucosa. However, long-term use still caused damage to the stomach.
Judging from the digestion of the stomach, the last time the patient took medicine before death was between 10 and 11 o'clock in the evening.
He paused for a moment, adjusted his tools, and continued, “The liver’s appearance is a normal dark red color, with slightly blunt edges and the liver lobule structure is still clear;
However, under a high-power microscope, it can be observed that there are a small amount of fat droplets deposited in the liver cells. This is consistent with the physiological changes in the elderly liver and is a normal age-related degenerative change. No other signs of pathology were found.
As for the kidneys, both kidneys were slightly reduced in size and had a granular surface, which is a typical appearance feature of elderly kidneys.
The cortex is thinning, the glomeruli have different degrees of sclerosis, and the renal tubules have some atrophy and compensatory hypertrophy, but these are normal manifestations of aging and have no direct connection with the death. "
Finally, the forensic doctor raised his head and said with a firm look: "After a comprehensive examination, we can clearly rule out signs of homicide.
No signs of external violence were found anywhere on the body, and no suspected poisonous substances were detected in the body. All evidence points to death being caused by natural illness. The family can now be notified to make funeral arrangements. "
Luo Jinxi stood under the pale light of the autopsy room and nodded slightly. The fatigue in his eyes was like a layer of haze, but there was also a hint of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
She said softly, "Thank you, Doctor Pei, for your hard work. This autopsy is all thanks to you. I will go and notify the family and arrange all the funeral arrangements."
Her voice echoed in this cold space, carrying a hint of resolute indifference.
When Forensic Doctor Pei heard this, his originally focused and serious face softened instantly, and his eyes were like the warm spring sun, looking straight at Luo Jinxi.
The corners of his mouth raised, revealing an intimate smile, and then he slowly approached Luo Jinxi, his eyes full of tenderness.
He said with a gentle look mixed with dissatisfaction: "Jinxi, do you have to be so polite to me?
You know why I went through so much trouble to transfer here to be a forensic doctor? It was to be closer to you. There is really no need for us to be so distant, right? "
His voice was deep and magnetic, and seemed to have the power to bewitch people.
Luo Jinxi frowned slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm: "Huiping, can we be friends?
I don't want to hurt you verbally because of this. We are all adults and should learn to deal with these problems rationally. " She looked at Pei Huiping firmly, trying to make him understand her determination.
Pei Huiping was slightly startled, with an indifferent and open-minded look in his eyes. He slowly said in a reminder tone: "I know you like Jiang Chengyu, but he doesn't seem to be interested in women. He seems..."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Jinxi hurriedly stopped him and said, "That's enough, don't speculate." I'm leaving first, and we'll have dinner at the same place on Sunday.
Her tone was a little hurried and a little flustered, as if listening any further would break the defense she had built with great difficulty in her heart.
After Luo Jinxi finished speaking, she picked up Pei Huiping's autopsy report, turned around and walked quickly to the door. Her steps were firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, just like how she treated this relationship, seemingly free and easy but with her own persistence.
Pei Huiping calmly watched Luo Jinxi leave resolutely. The figure became farther and farther away until it disappeared at the door.
He shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of loss and reluctance, and whispered softly: "Luo Jinxi, for you, I am willing to wait until the day you change your mind.
Even if the process is long and painful, I will never give up." His voice echoed in the empty dissection room, but there was no one to listen. Only the cold instruments and the smell of disinfectant that had not yet dissipated witnessed his deep loneliness.
Luo Jinxi had a solemn look on his face as he drove the car he often used on police missions. Like a streak of black lightning, he streaked across the street and sped towards Jinyang Villa.
The scenery outside the car window quickly receded, but her mind was all on the destination she was about to reach.
In the warm yet somewhat messy bedroom of Jinyang Villa, Mu Xiaoji was sleeping quietly on the spotless white bed, as if he was trapped in a dream isolated from the world.
Jiang Chengyu was busy by the bed. He held a cardboard box in his hand and carefully collected the medical books scattered around the room.
Some pages of those medical books have turned slightly yellow, obviously having been read countless times.
Jiang Chengyu's eyes swept across the pages of one of the books, which talked about the human body problems reflected by unconscious sleep. He frowned slightly and shook his head helplessly, feeling helpless that there was no cure for himself.
At this moment, a sharp sound of car brakes broke the tranquility of the villa, followed by the sound of a car door closing. The sound was particularly clear in the quiet courtyard.
Luo Jinxi walked quickly to the door of the villa and rang the doorbell with her slender fingers. Inside the house, Mu Huiying was wiping the furniture with a rag. When she heard the doorbell, she put down the rag in her hand and walked straight to the door.
When she opened the door and saw Luo Jinxi, a friendly smile immediately appeared on her face. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring: "It's Jinxi, come in quickly."
Luo Jinxi nodded politely: "Aunt Mu, where is Cheng Yu?"
Mu Huiying pointed upstairs: "They are in the bedroom upstairs."
Luo Jinxi did not hesitate at all. He took the heavy autopsy report, walked up the stairs in a hurry and ran upstairs.
Her hurried footsteps made a crisp sound on the wooden stairs, as if it was the accompaniment of her anxious mood.
Arriving at the bedroom door, she knocked gently, the knock echoing in the quiet corridor.
When Jiang Chengyu heard the voice, he put down the book in his hand, walked to the door and opened it. When he saw it was Luo Jinxi, he gestured for him to come in.
Luo Jinxi walked into the bedroom, his eyes swept across the room full of books and the sleeping Mu Xiaoji, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
He whispered, "He must be exhausted these days. He has read all the medical books for your condition."
Jiang Chengyu looked at her with gratitude and nodded slightly. Then, he walked to the side, picked up the kettle, poured a cup of steaming hot water, handed it to Luo Jinxi, and motioned her to sit on the sofa.
Luo Jinxi took the cup of water, smiled and said politely: "Thank you."
Then, her expression became serious, "Teacher Gu's autopsy report is out, he died of natural causes. So..." After saying that, she handed the report in her hand to Jiang Chengyu.
Jiang Chengyu reached out to take the report and carefully looked at the relevant data and anatomical analysis on it. Those lines of text seemed to be the key to unlocking the mystery.
After reading the report, Jiang Chengyu raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Jinxi. I have caused you a lot of trouble during this period."
Luo Jinxi waved his hand, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Cheng Yu, if you treat me as a friend, you don't have to say these polite words. I don't like to hear them. How about something more practical? For example, you once said that you would accompany me to eat steak."
When Jiang Chengyu heard this, he was stunned at first, and then suddenly smiled. That smile dispelled the haze that had shrouded his heart for many days.
