Forensic Medicine Qu Xiaoshui

Chapter 439 Grand and narrow (24)

There were two deep furrows between Chen Manke's brows, and the corners of his raised lips drooped down. The change of expression on his originally gentle face gave people a completely different feeling.

Seeing that she didn't accept the case, Qu Xiaoshui took it for her directly.

Qu Xiaoshui opened the case and presented it in front of Chen Manke himself.

Chen Manke was forced to look at the medical record with lowered eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "What exactly do you want to ask?"

She cautiously raised her eyes to peek at Qu Xiaoshui and Jiang Yue, trying to see something from their expressions.

Qu Xiaoshui suddenly felt extremely tired. Seeing that she was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue to deal with her, he completely lost the patience to play tricks with her.

Qu Xiaoshui looked directly at Chen Manke's dodging eyes, and his voice could not be refused:
"Please let us meet your father-in-law, Yang Di."

When Qu Xiaoshui said Yang Di's name, Chen Manke's thin body trembled uncontrollably, but she quickly adjusted and raised a stiff smile:
"I'm sorry, my father-in-law's physical condition is really not very good, and I can't talk to you."

Chen Manke was wearing a sweater with a large neckline today. This sweater is quite old, and the original white color has oxidized and turned yellow that cannot be washed off.

Her too thin collarbone kept rising with Chen Manke's tense breathing, and the veins and blood vessels on her neck were also telling Qu Xiaoshui and Jiang Yue her nervousness.

But no matter how calm Chen Manke's facial expression was, her body language showed her guilty conscience at this time.

All these made this very unsuccessful lie so unconvincing, but it also made Qu Xiaoshui's eyes sour for a moment, and he had to look away.

It stands to reason that after experiencing so many cases, big and small, cruel, regrettable, and unexpected... Qu Xiaoshui feels that his character has been honed to be very strong, but in many cases, he feels that people are really very Strange species, people who are obviously not worthy of sympathy, but it will make her heart sore.

"Are you still saying that he is sick in bed in the attic?" Jiang Yue interrupted Chen Manke.

Lies have been told thousands of times, and even I will take them seriously.

Chen Manke is like this. In her cognition, Yang Di, her husband's father, her father-in-law, and her child's grandfather, are living in the attic that was opened up separately at this time, sick in bed every day, weak and helpless. Talking is even more inconvenient to meet people.

It has to be said that it is also a kind of sadness.

Chen Manke's eyes were astonishingly bright at this time, she was very sure of what she said and the facts she believed, she nodded quickly, like the last straw grasped by a drowning man:
"Yes, father-in-law is in poor health and is sleeping now, so it's inconvenient to see you."

"It's okay, we just want to confirm whether he is still alive." Jiang Yue saw that Qu Xiaoshui didn't speak, and knew that her heart was softening.

But such a soft-hearted Qu Xiaoshui is also his favorite.

Jiang Yue stood up, not leaving any room for Chen Manke to refuse: "Then, please take us upstairs to have a look."

Chen Manke was roasted on the fire and had to stand up. She almost begged and looked at Qu Xiaoshui who lowered her head and said nothing:

"My father-in-law needs rest due to his illness, so it's really inconvenient to meet you."

Qu Xiaoshui's answer was to also stand up: "Please lead the way."

Seeing that Chen Manke still wanted to stop him, Qu Xiaoshui took a deep breath: "Or we can go upstairs and have a look by ourselves."

Only then did Chen Manke take a slow step forward, knowing that there was no way to delay, her face was full of bitterness:
"Come with me."

The attic of Yang Di's house was built later, and the layout is very unscientific.

The originally not too big house plus the separately opened attic makes the overall visual effect of the house look extraordinarily crowded.

Leading to the attic is a narrow wrought iron staircase that can only be passed by one person. Although there is a layer of green carpet on the staircase, when stepping on it, there is still a hollow sound echoing.

Under Chen Manke's slow motion that almost stopped step by step, the three of them finally came upstairs.

The attic was not spacious, and when they reached the door, the three of them had to bend down to prevent their heads from touching the ceiling.

Qu Xiaoshui and Chen Manke were fine, but Jiang Yue looked extremely awkward because he was too tall.

Qu Xiaoshui might find this posture funny if it was in a normal posture, but at this time, no one was in the mood for a joke.

Chen Manke put his hand on the handle of the sliding door hesitantly, her eyes were full of pleading and earnestness.

She doesn't want to open the door.

"Do you need my help?" Qu Xiaoshui forced himself to harden his heart and said.

Qu Xiaoshui was not going to let Jiang Yue take on all the red-faced roles.

Chen Man had no choice but to slowly open the sliding door.

The attic is relatively short and it is not convenient to put a bed, so the room is a tatami structure.

There are not many furniture in the room, many of them are simple assembled plastic cabinets, and there is a folding bed table for cups. These furniture should be specially purchased to reduce the load of the attic.

And in the middle of the room was a thick quilt, the boards of the bed were neat and tidy, and it seemed that no one had been lying on it.

No one in the attic...

Qu Xiaoshui looked at Chen Manke, wanting to see what she had to say.

Unexpectedly, Chen Manke showed a reassuring smile:

"Sorry, I was so busy today."

"I even forgot that I hired someone to take my father-in-law to a nearby medical examination center for an examination today. I'm really sorry for making you waste of time."

This is a lie, and all three people present know it well.

The light in the attic was not turned on, and Qu Xiaoshui's face was covered by shadows, making it difficult to see the pity and helplessness in her eyes.

"Then when can he be sent back? We can wait."

The scene almost froze because of this sentence.

What are you waiting for?
Yang Di will never come back.

Holding the ceiling with his hands, Jiang Yue sighed as he looked at this woman who was obviously stiff but forced herself to smile.

It was impossible to say no to sympathy, but duty made it impossible for them to turn a blind eye to crime.

"When the bone and X-rays were confirmed in the hospital, we knew that the bone remains belonged to your father-in-law." Jiang Yue said, looking at Chen Manke who was almost frozen in place.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence that their medical records are the same..." Chen Manke argued tremblingly.

Qu Xiaoshui shook his head, denying this statement: "There is no coincidence that two different bones can have the same scar."

"That skeletal body is your father-in-law—Yang Di—himself."

Chen Man couldn't accept this fact, and she didn't want the long-held lie to be exposed.

She backed away while shaking her head until she reached the stairs and ran down.

She ran into the kitchen, supported the cooking table with both hands, panting heavily: "No...impossible..."

Chen Manke kept repeating this sentence, as if repeated denials could change the facts.
