15. I am his godfather.
15. I am his godfather.
"Can the Soul-Returning Incense be used...? That thing is on Ziting. She's still in the hospital undergoing surgery. Jiang Chen said it can only be removed after she's out of danger."
He was so anxious that he didn't know how long this dangerous period would last.
One day, two days, if this drags on for ten days or half a month, then Jiang Chen will be completely finished.
Should I arrange the funeral or just hold a banquet?
Cat Master gave him a look that said he was an idiot.
"So what you need to do now is find a cold storage to preserve his body. Although he is now carbonized and will not decompose easily in a short time, to be on the safe side, we still need to carry out 'preservation' treatment to delay decomposition as much as possible and buy time."
Cold storage...preservation...
Ai Yi was a little confused. This was about his brother, how could it be like frozen meat sold in the supermarket?
However, Cat Master is right. This is indeed the only thing to do right now, so he has to find a way to get rid of this "carbonized corpse".
Just then, the piercing sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached.
The red and blue flashing lights illuminated the night, making it appear and disappear intermittently.
A large number of fully armed police officers rushed onto the deck, their footsteps chaotic and heavy, and quickly sealed off the scene.
A tall, stern-faced middle-aged criminal police officer strode down the stairs.
He glanced at the hellish scene, his brows furrowing into a deep frown. His gaze finally settled on Ai Yi, the charred body of Jiang Chen on the ground, and the medical refrigeration box placed beside them.
With a wave of his hand, two policemen stepped forward to restrain Ai Yi, while two others prepared to seize the refrigerated box and Jiang Chen's "corpse".
"What are you trying to do? Let go and leave your things behind."
"Young Master Ai, you have no right to interfere with the police's investigation."
"I have no right to interfere?" Ai Yi laughed immediately, pointing to himself.
"I'm the one who reported the incident. The person lying here is my brother, and the one who was rushed to the hospital is my brother's girlfriend, who is also his friend. You're telling me I have no right to interfere?"
"I may not have the right to interfere with how you handle the case, but don't I even have the right to know how you plan to dispose of my brother's body and other such matters?"
Chen Gang wanted to refute, but Ai Yi wasn't wrong, so he had no choice but to answer honestly.
"These are all physical evidence, so naturally they should be preserved first."
"As for him, this... body needs to be autopsied by a forensic doctor to further determine the cause of death."
Chen Gang's tone left no room for doubt; the crime scene looked as if aliens had been there.
Moreover, judging from the way Jiang Chen died, it looked like he was electrocuted. In order to solve the case, we naturally have to dissect him properly to find out the cause of death, otherwise the report will be difficult to write.
The moment the words "can be dissected" were uttered, Ai exploded.
He was completely agitated, his eyes wide open.
Anatomy?
What kind of international joke is this? If you cut it open and take out its internal organs, piece by piece, how can it be resurrected with the Resurrection Incense?
Ai spread his arms, blocking Jiang Chen and the refrigerator, his eyes bloodshot, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
An aura of authority from someone in a superior position deterred the two officers from taking any rash action.
"Let anyone fucking touch him."
Chen Gang was taken aback by his appearance, then his face darkened: "Young Master Ai, are you a relative of the deceased?"
Ai Yigen didn't have time to think before blurting out a sentence.
"I am his godfather, I have absolute authority over him!"
The air was silent for half a second.
Cat buried his face in his paws silently, looking like he couldn't bear to watch.
Looking at Ai Yi's innocent and adorable baby face, Chen Gang's lips twitched.
You're the godfather of the Commonwealth Railway, huh? You young people are really good at this, but that's no excuse.
"Young Master Ai, I'm just following the rules. If you keep making trouble, that's obstructing official business, and I'll have to ask you to come to the office."
"What are you all standing there for? Pull him away."
Two police officers stepped forward and tried to forcibly remove him.
At this moment, Ai Yi completely went berserk, and a powerful sense of oppression suddenly erupted.
"You fucking talk to me about rules?"
Ai pointed at Chen Gang's nose, her voice low but each word clear.
"You don't touch those underground clinics and organ trafficking organizations, but now a life is at stake, a kidney is waiting to be returned. My brother ruined himself like this just to get that kidney back."
"You're talking to me about procedures and physical evidence? Do you even know what special handling means or what it means for human lives to be at stake?"
"Every minute later, the danger on the operating table increases. Don't you understand that?"
Chen Gang was subjected to a barrage of insults directed at him. In his twenty years as a police officer, this was the first time he had ever been verbally abused like this by a mere young man.
"The rules, are they? Fine!"
"If you don't listen to me, I'll have your boss, the mayor, or some high-ranking official talk to you."
"I can't take this person and their belongings with me today, but you'll all be making headlines throughout the city and trending nationwide tomorrow. I've already thought of the title—'Cold-blooded police officer delays rescue to follow rules, teenage girl dies on operating table.'"
"At that point, it won't be as simple as you taking off this skin to settle things."
A threat, a blatant threat, yet Ai Yi's words were surprisingly reasonable and well-founded.
His innate aura of authority moved all the police officers present, who emotionally sided with Ai Yi.
Chen Gang's face turned from ashen to deathly pale, but now he was in a difficult situation.
A seasoned policeman nearby, seeing this, quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Captain Chen, Captain Chen, calm down."
"Young Master Ai is so anxious to save lives that he's lost his mind. I think it would be better if we sent two people to accompany him the whole time and 'escort' the refrigerated box to the hospital. Saving lives is the priority."
"As for this...body, it's temporarily stored in the hospital morgue under our care until the matter is clarified. That way, we can avoid delaying either outcome. What do you think?"
This is a stepping stone, a stepping stone that both sides can accept.
Ai Yi was too lazy to waste any more words with them, so she picked up the refrigerator and started ordering people around without any politeness.
"What are you standing there for? Find a stretcher and carefully lift my brother into the car."
Escorted by two police cars with flashing lights, Ai Yi got back into the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and the roar of the engine once again broke the deathly silence of the dock.
This time, it's a true race against time.
Renxin Hospital.
This is the city's top private hospital, famous for its reputation that "if you can afford it, even the King of Hell can persuade you to leave."
At this moment, the VIP passage in front of the hospital's main entrance had already been cleared out, and the hospital director and a group of medical staff were waiting anxiously.
When the black Aston Martin roared into view with two police cars sirens blaring, the dean immediately waved his hand.
The top-notch surgical team, which had been on high alert, rushed forward like an arrow, pushing a mobile hospital bed.
The car door opened, and Ai Yi rushed out of the car carrying a refrigerated box.
