Chapter 2050: Another Possibility
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After everyone else had left, the atmosphere inside the Xinshan precinct became lively with celebration.

“Kid, you’re something else. You quietly caught Bai Yongshou. How exactly did you do it?” Li Xianghui asked.

“I have some connections in this area, and since they didn’t know I was working as a police officer, it was easy to gather information on his whereabouts and bring him in.”

“Well, you pulled it off without making a fuss. You’re going to be even more famous in the precinct now.”

“I’m not interested in fame. I just want to serve the people wholeheartedly.”

Everyone laughed, knowing what kind of person Lin Yi was. It wasn’t surprising for him to say something like that.

Soon, the excitement settled down, and everyone returned to their tasks.

The subsequent interrogation was left to Li Xianghui and his team.

Initially, Lin Yi had considered handling the interrogation himself.

But on second thought, he realized that the system’s task was to find the hidden culprit behind everything.

It didn’t seem like Bai Yongshou or Wei Yihua were connected to that.

Moreover, if they were involved, the task would have been completed when both of them were captured.

But since the system hadn’t reacted, Lin Yi instinctively felt that this stage of the task had nothing to do with the two gang leaders.

Thus, he decided to check on Zhang Peng instead, thinking that the inheritance case might trigger the system’s task.

When he arrived at Zhang Peng’s office, he found Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin packing up and preparing to leave.

“Where are you two going?”

“Oh, Brother Lin, you’re here.” Zhang Zixin greeted him and said,

“The hospital has compiled the list of ICU duty doctors. We’re heading over to check it out. Also, Zhang Lixia has agreed to the autopsy of the deceased, and the forensic team is on their way to the hospital. We need to hurry over.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go, I’ll come with you.”

“It’s great to have you with us, Brother Lin,” Zhang Zixin said with a smile.

About 40 minutes later, the three of them arrived at the hospital.

There, they met the forensic team—a man and a woman—waiting for them.

Both were around 40 years old, still in their prime.

The woman, in particular, exuded a mature charm.

It was hard to believe she was a forensic pathologist.

Zhang Peng gave them a brief introduction.

Lin Yi learned that the man was named Song Gang and the woman was Huang Xiaoli, both seasoned forensic experts.

After a short discussion, Zhang Peng suggested,

“Brother Lin, let’s split up. Mr. Song and Ms. Huang can handle the autopsy while we check the duty roster for that day.”

Lin Yi paused for a few seconds before saying,

“Let’s not rush. Let’s see the autopsy results first. If there’s nothing unusual, it would indicate that the staff on duty weren’t at fault. But if there’s something wrong, we’ll need to focus our questioning.”

“I think it’s just Zhang Lixia’s imagination. There probably won’t be any major issues,” Zhang Zixin said.

“I agree, but since the family has requested it, we should follow through,” Lin Yi replied.

“Zixin, go check with Zhang Lixia again to see if she has any second doubts. If she’s still sure, we can proceed with the autopsy.”

“Got it, Brother Lin.”

Zhang Zixin picked up the phone and called Zhang Lixia to ask about the autopsy.

The latter had no doubts about the matter and said firmly that she wanted to perform an autopsy to find out the real cause of her partner’s death.

“Since there are no objections, let’s begin the autopsy.”

The five of them went to the hospital’s autopsy room. The pale lighting and cold air conditioning made Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin shiver.

Being in such a place naturally evoked fear.

At the entrance to the autopsy room, Lin Yi spoke with the hospital staff, who allowed the autopsy to proceed without any issues.

“Brother Lin, where are you going? Why are you putting on those clothes?” Zhang Zixin asked.

“I’m going in too. Might as well since I’m here.”

“What? You’re going into the autopsy room?”

“Why not? It’s just a dead body, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

“Well…”

“Officer Lin, I suggest you stay outside,” Song Gang said.

“An autopsy isn’t what you might imagine. You might feel fine now, but once the body is opened up, it’s a different story.”

Huang Xiaoli agreed,

“We’ve had similar situations before. Even seasoned officers who insisted on joining us ended up feeling nauseous and had to leave halfway through. Unless there’s a specific reason, it’s really not necessary to come inside.”

“It’s fine. I have pretty strong nerves. I should be okay.”

Lin Yi knew they were just looking out for him.

But he had seen plenty of blood and gore, both as a doctor and during missions. An autopsy was nothing new to him.

“If Officer Lin insists, then let’s all go in.”

“Thank you.”

Soon, the three of them entered the autopsy room.

The body of Zhang Lixia’s husband was already on the autopsy table, ready for the procedure.

What followed were gruesome scenes as the autopsy unfolded before Lin Yi.

Song Gang and Huang Xiaoli exchanged glances, impressed by Lin Yi’s composure. They both felt that he was destined for great things.

After about two hours, the autopsy was completed. The three of them bowed deeply to the body and then stepped back.

“Officer Lin, based on the examination, there doesn’t seem to be any issues. It appears the patient died from post-surgical inflammation that perforated the intestines. This wouldn’t be classified as medical malpractice; such complications are quite common during surgeries.”

Lin Yi frowned, recalling the autopsy process, and didn’t immediately agree with Huang Xiaoli’s assessment.

“Mr. Song, Ms. Huang, during the autopsy, did you notice that the deceased’s heart, liver, brain, lungs, and kidneys appeared darker in color?”

The two exchanged a look, surprised that Lin Yi would ask such a question.

“This was caused by internal blood stasis, which is a normal phenomenon.”

“But there’s another possibility that could cause this,” Lin Yi said.

“When a patient experiences difficulty breathing, the negative pressure in the chest increases, causing blood to flow back from the right atrium to the left atrium. This prevents blood from returning to the right atrium, leading to blood stasis and the darkening of the internal organs.”
