1462: Open Coffin Autopsy (3 More)
In the past two days, others have also said the same thing to grandma, not believing that the corpse is Xu Zhongyi.
Grandma Yu trusts Xia Xiaolan very much.
Now she can't control whether Xia Xiaolan is comforting her or not. If anyone can find out the truth for her and find out the whereabouts of her son's family, that person must be Xia Xiaolan!
Xia Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng did not have much time to reunite one day in advance. There were too many procedures to be run in the re-mortem examination, and everyone was rushing to this matter.
On the 12th, Zhou Cheng went to Detroit, and Xia Xiaolan personally took him to the airport.
Then there was a fast-paced rush. The old lady of Huaguo did not seek relatives in another country after 20 years, and her love was life or death. This matter also received the help of the Chinese embassy in the United States. There was official intervention, and Wen Manni contributed. Finally, Got post-mortem clearance on the 15th!
The 19-year-old case, which had been closed for 19 years, had to be reopened for an autopsy. Somehow, the local radio station in San Francisco was alerted, and they wanted to interview the client, Grandma Yu.
"No interviews."
In case the corpse is Xu Zhongyi, and as Jim said it was done by the local gangster, Grandma Yu also wants to protect her daughter-in-law Cui Yiru and her grandson Xu Changle, who are still unknown.
Xia Xiaolan supported her: "Let's not reject it completely. The coverage of the San Francisco TV station is not all bad. We will wait for the autopsy results to decide whether to be interviewed or not?"
Not Xu Zhongyi is the best.
I happened to use the TV station to find Xu Zhongyi's whereabouts.
Originally, Xia Xiaolan also planned to "make up stories" on TV stations and newspapers, but she went to say, how could it be as effective as the interview with the real grandma Yu.
Grandma Yu nodded:
"Okay, just do as you say!"
The approval was obtained on the 15th, and the corpse was opened on the 16th. Grandma Yu insisted on going to the cemetery with the police to see the scene.
It had been too long, and the charred skin was tense on the bones, and Xia Xiaolan felt heart palpitations just by looking at it. Liu Fen didn't dare to look at it at all. The mother and daughter supported Grandma Yu from left to right, fearing that she would not be able to bear it.
Grandma Yu watched the corpse dug up and was taken away by the police with her own eyes.
Her feet were weak and very uncomfortable, but she couldn't fall down, and she had to tell herself repeatedly:
"It's not Zhongyi, it can't be Zhongyi—"
An old lady, standing beside a newly dug grave, her white hair ruffled by the wind, had to be supported by two people to avoid falling. Anyone who saw such a scene would feel sad.
Wen Manni was also very uncomfortable.
American lawyers charge by the hour. Wen Manni has been running for so many days, but it is purely legal aid. Xia Xiaolan said she wanted to pay, but Wen Manni refused!
This is what Professor Wen and Hu Ying meant. Both of them were very sympathetic to what happened to their grandmother.
Xu Zhongyi's experience touched Professor Wen and Hu Ying. They also immigrated to the United States decades ago, but their luck was better than Xu Zhongyi. They have established a firm foothold in the United States and are now living a good life.
Xu Zhongyi is the unlucky kind, and the family of three disappeared when they arrived in the United States.
"Although we emigrated, we are still Chinese with yellow skin and dark eyes. This is our characteristic, and it is the proof of recognizing foreigners. If a compatriot encounters such difficulties, you should help. Manni, this is called 'watching and helping each other'!"
That's what Professor Wen told Manni Wen.
Are you looking out for each other?
Wen Manni looked at the mother and daughter Xia Xiaolan who were standing with Grandma Yu. It was hard to believe that they were not related by blood to Grandma Yu.
This free legal aid case made Wen Manni feel heavy.
I don't know what emotion made her take the initiative to step forward:
"I will urge the forensic doctor, because there was no dental record back then, you need to carefully recall Mr. Xu's experience from childhood to adulthood, whether there are any clues that can help, such as fractures, we will rely on skull restoration surgery to confirm. The identity of the deceased."
Autopsy technology in 1986 was definitely better than in 1967.
Especially in the United States, as a world power at this time, if there is a variety of the most advanced technologies, the United States must be among the best in the world.
Grandma Yu blinked dry eyes:
"Zhong Yi originally had an older brother who died when he was a few years old. My husband and I took care of our only remaining son in every possible way. From childhood to adulthood, he had only a handful of bumps and no fractures."
Wen Manni nodded, "It doesn't matter, this case is being watched by the TV station, and the embassy has also asked about it. The San Francisco police will expeditiously handle it. I expect the result within a week, or it will be done by a top-level skull restoration expert, combined with forensic medicine. The body data provided, if the effect is good, the final similarity may be close to 70%."
Close to 70%?
Xia Xiaolan felt that this was enough!
No matter whether the child is fat or thin, if others can't recognize it, how can a mother not recognize it?
With 60% resemblance, Grandma Yu can definitely identify at a glance whether the deceased is Xu Zhongyi.
"Connie, I really don't know how to thank you this time. Jim was also introduced to me by you, and it made you delay in San Francisco for so long."
Grandma Yu also wondered, what else can she take out to thank Wen Manni, all her savings are not much in dollars, is it enough to take them out together?
Winmani can only stress once again that this is legal aid":
"The firm is also very supportive of me coming here. Every law firm needs a certain number of aid cases. You don't need to thank me in particular... Now let's wait for news together."
wait for news!
Yes, just wait for the news.
San Francisco TV has all heard the news. Someone is re-investigating Xu Zhongyi's case, and the people involved should have heard the news. Xia Xiaolan increased the pay to $20,000, making Jim's informant pay attention to whether anyone in San Francisco would be restless.
The corpse is Xu Zhongyi, who is the murderer, and where are his wife and children?
The corpse is not Xu Zhongyi, then why has he disappeared for so many years, completely forgetting that there are still parents in the country!
The truth that has been sealed for 20 years has come to be revealed.
It is estimated that every day is suffering for grandma.
On the 20th, Xia Xiaolan's final exam results came out first.
Daisy's voice was sharp on the phone:
"You should take a look! You should come to the school in person, but it doesn't matter, I can fax it to you... Xia, I'm so happy, I'm a little incoherent now."
Daisy started to cry while talking.
But it was definitely tears of joy.
How exciting are the tears shed after being suppressed for too long!
Xia Xiaolan couldn't help but lower her voice, "Oh, little Daisy, let me guess, you got an a for Elements of Structure, right? Professor McCarthy gave you an a!"
"Yeah, I got an A, Richard, Lyle, and I, we're all A! God, I was so excited, I decided to buy myself a new car and drive it across state travel!"
Daisy has obviously decided to spend the CW bonus, which is not surprising. Don't talk to Americans about the concept of saving, especially young Americans. Isn't it necessary to spend money for pleasure in time? Everyone is a student, and they do not get married, do not buy a house, do not raise children, and do not save money.
