"Haven't I already recommended Master Quan a few forensic physicians from the Criminal Investigation Department?" Suddenly, Lu Xuan cut in with a displeased tone, "Why do you insist on taking up my teacher's time?"
Only then Quan Yu and Mo Li realized there was another person in the room.
Lu Xuan had faith in the people he found for Quan Yu. Even though they were new coroners, they graduated at the top of their classes. This was their first time doing actual autopsy. They were so excited they couldn't sleep. They guarded by the door every day, waiting for Quan Yu to arrive. If they performed well, they might be offered a permanent job offer at this hospital and be given a chance to shine in their profession!
"We'll have Miss Mo Li with us, she might find something new."
Lu Xuan shrugged helplessly. Since Young Master Quan said that, what else could he do? So Lu Xuan led the two to the morgue.
"Let me make an introduction, this is Miss Mo Li, she'll be joining the autopsy process."
Quan Yu followed behind Mo Li like her assistant.
The few forensic physicians recommended by Lu Xuan looked at each other. They turned away from Mo Li and had a discussion among themselves.
"I haven't seen such a pretty coroner in a long time already. But she looks so young!"
"Her assistant is quite handsome though."
"I hear from Professor Lu that she even knows her way around pathological study. But he hasn't briefed us about her level of skill, I hope she won't stand in our way!"
"She looks too young to have any knowledge in forensics. I wonder why Professor Lu has asked her to come here."
...
Due to her experience at school, Mo Li had gotten used to people judging her at face value. So she didn't feel like explaining herself. Ignoring the others, Mo Li put on the gloves, the coat and pulled back the white cloth.
If the victim's family members saw the person lying on the autopsy table, they would collapse from mental trauma.
"Oh my God!"
"How horrid is this?!"
Two interns behind Mo Li, Yang Liu and Qin Xuan gripped their fists. They couldn't stop their bodies from shaking.
Mo Li, on the other hand, was extremely calm and did not even utter a single word.
Thanks to her past work experience, Mo Li was no longer the same coroner as when she started. She could bemoan the state of the corpse and berate the cruelty of the murderer all she wanted, but it was not going to bring the victim back to life. Therefore, she understood that all she could do was to pay the victims a silent respect and do her best to help them speak and to find their killers.
"This girl is so cold-hearted!"
"I wonder who her teacher is, how inhumane can she be?" Hearing these comments, Quan Yu glanced towards the two talkative doctors.
Mo Li waved her hand at him, telling him to leave it be.
After being a forensic doctor for so long, she had gotten used to be around dead people. Her way of offering condolences to the dead was to help them catch their killers.
This didn't mean that Mo Li lacked empathy. But as a coroner, she had experienced death more commonly than most doctors. Mo Li had a deep respect for life. She had a firm belief in the value of her profession. It was to help the victim speak, to stop criminals from trampling on people's lives.
Mo Li sympathized with the deceased and understood why the others reacted the way they did. However, Mo Li understood clearer her responsibility as the coroner.
It was to find evidence from the victims, to return justice to them.
Therefore, instead of making a fuss, she chose silence and to perform her duty seriously.
