Chapter 121: Charisma
In their eyes, Mo Li’s theoretical knowledge might be worthy of praise but practical work was more than just words on paper. Without solid foundation and mental fortitude, one wouldn’t survive the entire autopsy process.
Qin Xuan was already prepared. The moment the girl failed in the autopsy, he would educate her! To let her know that this profession was not for everyone!
Yang Liu finally started her work. Lu Xuan studied Mo Li and he was greatly impressed,?great knife skill!
Most of the forensic doctors in the country were used to starting with an I dissection across the chest. However, since Mo Li had confirmed that the victim’s neck area had been severely traumatized, to preserve the state of the neck, Mo Li used a T dissection.
In the eyes of the layman, a forensic surgeon’s skill didn’t need to be as good as a physician. After all, the person operated on by a forensic surgeon was already dead. There was no need to worry about surgical disputes.
However, only true experts knew that knife skill was as important to forensic surgeon as it was to normal surgeon. Or else Mo Li wouldn’t have needed to start her practice with pig trotters and cow tendons.
“Beautiful! This is wonderful!” Lu Xuan could not help but praise. Mo Li’s knife skill was simply amazing!
Even Quan Yu gasped in admiration when he saw Mo Li at work. Her index finger was pressed on the back of the scalpel and her knife moved perpendicular to the skin of the victim. Her accuracy was mesmerizing and her incision was smooth. It was evident that she had a perfect manipulation of her use of force.
Mo Li was almost done but Yang Liu was only half way there. Yang Liu felt unsettled and offended.
Meanwhile, Mo Li studied the peeled back subcutaneous tissues, they looked perfectly fine. Therefore, she moved onto the peritoneum. In just a few minutes, the victim’s internal organs were exposed before everyone.
“There’s no water or blood inside the abdominal cavity. Now, I’m moving on to examine the individual organ and omentum.”
Even though the autopsy was not conducted in a professional environment, Lu Xuan treated it as such. He set up a camera to tape the whole process. So that the doctors could discuss the process again during the post-autopsy meeting.
“Look at the victim’s stomach.” Mo Li cut open the stomach of the victim, it was totally empty. “This proved that the deceased had been starved for a period of time before his death. The stomach showed signs of shrinkage, I believed she was tortured before she died.”
“Damn those criminals! They’ve kidnapped her and didn’t even care to feed her! They are really inhuman!” Qin Xuan cursed when he saw the stomach. His voice was muffled but not soft. Qin Xuan initially didn’t put that much heart into the autopsy due to Mo Li but after he knew the victim had been tortured before her death, he could not suppress the anger in his heart. He joined Mo Li to examine the other internal organs.
Mo Li thought that these new doctors were not bad by nature. They could be quite arrogant and self-centred, but at least they were indeed good at their job.
Even though Yang Liu’s knife skills left much to be desired, it was already quite impressive at her age. With more practice, she would have a bright future.
As for Qin Xuan, despite his faults, Mo Li couldn’t dislike him due to his strong sense of justice.
Throughout the process, they added their observations to Guan Guo who was responsible to take down the records. When they finished the autopsy, it was already 1 am!
“It’s already so late, why don’t we all stay for supper? I’ll get someone to order food for us.”
“That’s fine. I need to go back home or my family will worry about me.” Even though Mo Li knew that Quan Yu would have already informed Elder Lin and Old Madam Lin, she also knew that her grandparents would be worried about her no matter what. So she decided to go home as soon as possible.
“Erm… Doctor Mo…”
“Yes?”
