Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1233 Anatomy

Xu Jiaxuan grabbed the railing of the overpass. Only then did he realize that his father's death was not an accident, but was entirely his own fault. This hidden enemy was clearly carrying out a planned revenge and had succeeded twice. However, he had never linked Chen Biyuan's death to himself. He was really careless.

Xu Jiaxuan felt a chill. He had been doing special work and had hidden his identity very well over the years. It was also because of this reason that he could not honor his parents and raise his son to adulthood. As he was about to retire, he did not expect that his identity had been exposed.

For him, exposing his identity was tantamount to putting his family under the enemy's gun. Xu Jiaxuan was in extreme pain, because everything he had caused was doomed to be irreversible.

Xu Jiaxuan arrived half an hour later than the scheduled time. Seeing that Xu Chunliang was safe for the time being, he felt a little comforted.

The eldest sister Xu Jiaan said: "Jiaxuan, you are finally back."

Xu Jiaxuan shook his eldest sister's hand. Xu Jiawen, who was standing beside him, lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. Xu Jiaxuan reached out and patted Xu Jiawen on the shoulder. This comforting gesture moved Xu Jiawen, who was feeling deeply guilty, to tears.

Xu Jiaxuan said to Xu Chunliang: "Take me to see grandpa."

The father and son came to the place where the bodies were stored, and the staff pulled Mr. Xu's body out of the freezer.

Looking at his father's cold body, Xu Jiaxuan's eyes filled with tears. He pursed his lips, trying his best to control his inner emotions. He carefully examined his father's body before signaling the staff to push his father back into the freezer.

The father and son came outside, Xu Jiaxuan pointed to the corridor on the east side, and the two walked over side by side.

Xu Chunliang said: "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of grandpa."

Xu Jiaxuan shook his head, with some words in his mind that he wanted to say but stopped. He didn't know how to tell his son. If his son knew that he was the cause of his grandfather's death, he didn't know how his son would react. Xu Jiaxuan knew that Xu Chunliang would most likely not be able to accept it.

"Chunliang, I always feel that this incident is definitely not accidental. Someone might have planned it and is targeting us."

Xu Chunliang said coldly: "I've thought about it. No matter who it is, I will get to the bottom of it." Xu Chunliang thought that this matter might be related to the trouble he had caused. He didn't dare to think about it too much. If this was true, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Xu Jiaxuan said: "Chunliang, you should also pay attention to your safety recently."

Xu Chunliang was puzzled by his words. What did Old Xu mean by this? He seemed to know something? Was someone trying to endanger his safety?

Xu Jiaxuan felt a little uneasy under his son's gaze. After a fierce struggle, he finally decided to tell him the truth: "Grandpa's death must have something to do with me."

Xu Chunliang's eyebrows were twisted together, and his sharp eyes were directed at Xu Jiaxuan like two sharp blades.

Xu Jiaxuan coughed guiltily and said, "That's right. You should have guessed what I do a long time ago. Because of the nature of my job, I have been hiding my identity overseas for these years and rarely come back. This is also to protect you."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Can you please stop beating around the bush?"

Xu Jiaxuan was like a child who had done something wrong and didn't dare to look into his son's eyes: "I have offended a lot of people, so I used a fake identity outside. Do you still remember Chen Biyuan?"

Xu Chunliang nodded. When Chen Biyuan died, Xu Jiaxuan specially entrusted him to attend her funeral. At the funeral, Chen Biyuan's daughter Qian Chunyi secretly gave him a crystal pendant.

Xu Jiaxuan said: "Her death was also because of me. Just now I went to the overpass where your grandfather had the accident and someone called me and threatened to deal with my family."

Xu Chunliang said: "Who? Who is targeting you?" He now only wanted to find the real culprit.

Xu Jiaxuan said: "I'm checking..."

"Grandpa died with his eyes open, and as a son, you don't even know who did it." Xu Chunliang was furious.

Xu Jiaxuan's cell phone rang, he went to answer the call, and when he came back he told Xu Chunliang that he had to go out to take care of something.

Xu Chunliang insisted on going with him, and Xu Jiaxuan had no choice but to agree.

Although Xu Jiaxuan agreed to take Xu Chunliang there, he also made a request, asking Xu Chunliang to blindfold himself and drive the entire journey himself.

Only after arriving at this secret command post located somewhere in Nanjiang did Xu Chunliang take off the black cloth on his head.

Xu Jiaxuan opened the car door and got out, and Xu Chunliang got out from the other side. Immediately, two men in military uniforms came over and conducted a thorough body search on them.

After passing security check, Xu Jiaxuan showed his ID and led Xu Chunliang through the security door in front and into the elevator.

The elevator moved downwards, and the pale light at the top was somewhat dazzling. Xu Chunliang looked at Xu Jiaxuan opposite him, wondering how many secrets he was hiding from him.

Before leaving the elevator, Xu Jiaxuan said to Xu Chunliang: "Don't forget your promise to me."

Xu Chunliang nodded: "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."

When they walked out of the elevator, a familiar figure came towards them. It was Liu Haiyu, whom they hadn't seen for a while. Liu Haiyu treated Xu Chunliang like a stranger and said to Xu Jiaxuan, "Brother, according to your instructions, Zheng Pei'an's body has been transported here and is currently being dissected."

Xu Jiaxuan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go and take a look."

Only then did Liu Haiyu look at Xu Chunliang.

Xu Jiaxuan said: "He is also one of the targets of revenge."

Liu Haiyu asked, "What do you think the higher-ups will tell you?" Xu Jiaxuan said, "I'll be responsible for explaining it."

Liu Haiyu led them to the changing room first, and after changing clothes and putting on masks, they came to the autopsy room.

Two top forensic doctors were performing an autopsy on Zheng Pei'an's body. When Xu Chunliang saw Zheng Pei'an's body, he still felt a little touched. If everything was as his father said, and his grandfather's death was a revenge, then Zheng Pei'an was just a pawn being used by others.

Xu Jiaxuan asked, "Dr. Li, how is the progress?"

The forensic doctor known as Dr. Li said: "The fingerprint comparison work has been completed. The fingerprint on the fruit knife was cloned. Someone deliberately used this method to stick the fingerprint on the handle of the fruit knife to interfere with the police's judgment and frame the suspect. They did it very professionally."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself that he was the suspect. After all, Old Xu was his biological father. The first thing he would do after returning was to find a way to help him clear the suspicion of murder. From what Dr. Li said, he had helped find the flaw.

Xu Jiaxuan said: "Can't the police tell this kind of low-level trick?"

Dr. Li said, "The method is very sophisticated. The current police technology is not able to accurately identify it. If you hadn't come forward, I'm afraid it would be difficult for this suspect to clear himself of the charge of murder."

Xu Jiaxuan asked: "Anything else you found?"

Dr. Li said: “The deceased had multiple impact injuries on his body.”

Xu Chunliang said: "He fell off the overpass last night."

Dr. Li glanced at Xu Chunliang. He had never seen this strange young man before. He nodded and said, "Based on the surveillance video of the deceased falling last night, the injuries on his body are roughly consistent, but there are two very special injuries."

He first pointed to Zheng Pei'an's right ankle, where there was a bruise that looked like livor mortis.

Dr. Li said: "Based on our analysis of the injuries, this should have been hit by something like a rubber bullet."

He asked his assistant to replay the surveillance video in slow motion: "Look carefully, during the struggle between the two people, Zheng Pei'an fell down first. The reason for his fall should be..."

He asked his assistant to zoom in the picture, and then zoom in again, and a blurry black shadow appeared in the picture.

Dr. Li said: "The bullet hit Zheng Pei'an and then bounced out and was captured by the camera."

Xu Chunliang clenched his fists, which further proved that the overpass incident that night was a carefully planned murder.

Xu Jiaxuan said: "It seems that we need to conduct another investigation on the scene."

Liu Haiyu said: "It is probably not a common rubber bullet, it may be another weapon, otherwise the police would have discovered something when investigating the scene."

Dr. Li said: "There is another scar on the back of the deceased's head."

Dr. Li signaled to his assistant to project the photo behind Zheng Pei'an's head onto the screen.

When everyone looked up, they saw a purple bruise on the back of Zheng Pei'an's head, which was obviously the result of being beaten with a stick.

Dr. Li said: "Based on our examination of the scar and analysis of the wound characteristics, this scar should have been caused by a hard object such as a stick, and the time was around 1 a.m. this morning."

Xu Chunliang frowned. At one o'clock in the morning today, that is, after Zheng Pei'an fled for fear of crime, someone attacked him from behind. This person was most likely the mastermind behind the plot.

Xu Jiaxuan asked, "Have you ever had a head scan?"

Dr. Li nodded. "Yes, we found multiple lesions on the deceased's head. We also found an implanted micro-receiver inside his right ear."

Dr. Li used tweezers to pick up a grain-sized object from a tray nearby. This is what he called a micro-receiver, which is equivalent to a micro-earphone.

Xu Jiaxuan pursed his lips. This kind of micro-receiver is a tool that can only be used in intelligence work. Zheng Pei'an is just an ordinary doctor. According to common sense, he would not have access to such high technology.

Dr. Li said: "We suspect that the deceased was under control before his death, and someone was giving him orders through this receiver."

Xu Jiaxuan asked: "Did any drug components be extracted from his blood sample?"

Dr. Li said: "It is still under analysis, but we can conclude that the real cause of his death was not the knife wound on his chest."

Xu Chunliang asked: "What was the real cause of his death?"

Dr. Li said, "We plan to perform a craniotomy."

Xu Jiaxuan said: "Go on."

Neither the father nor the son had any intention of leaving; they just watched the forensic operation from the side.

When he learned the news of his grandfather's death, Xu Chunliang hated Zheng Pei'an so much and regarded this once enthusiastic and kind uncle as his sworn enemy. As he got closer to the truth, he realized that this was a revenge against his father and Zheng Pei'an was just a poor pawn who was probably under control before he went to harass his aunt.
