The Genius Female Forensic Pathologist, The Psychological Anatomist

Fang Rui and Lin Sen discovered that the Neural Rose might be related to Mu Mian's father. Jiang Yinian likely stole the research materials from Mu Mian's father and continued the study.

Fang Rui asked, "Mu Mian, does your sister know what your father's research project was about?"

Mu Mian shook her head. "I asked her, but she said she doesn't know. My sister isn't interested in these things; she never liked going to Dad's lab. Whenever Dad tried to explain his papers to us, she would always find excuses to leave because she couldn't understand them."

Lin Sen asked, "Mu Mian, can you still get in touch with anyone from your father's lab?"

"No, they've all disappeared. After Dad passed away, they vanished and stopped responding to me. A friend of my sister said it's a case of 'when the person leaves, the tea turns cold.' Since Dad is gone, they no longer need to maintain a good relationship with me."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Mu Mian felt a little sad. Those who had been kind to her in the past had mostly done so out of respect for her father or her sister.

Suddenly, Fang Rui thought of a terrifying possibility. If such a drug truly existed and Mu Mian's father was its original developer, could they have also used it on Mu Mian?

It's rare for someone with autism to recover so well—why was Mu Mian the exception?

If the Neural Rose had side effects, what would they be?

Lin Sen also thought of this. He exchanged a glance with Fang Rui, but both of them tacitly chose not to ask the question.

Mu Mian said, "We can visit my aunt tomorrow morning and see if she can tell us anything. However, her Alzheimer's is quite severe, so I'm not sure if she'll be able to remember anything."

The next day, Fang Rui went to Director Wang's office.

"Director, do you know an officer named Miao Miao?"

"There was a Miao Miao. She was my protégé, but she fell ill—a very serious illness. It started with neurological blindness, then her memory began to deteriorate, her bodily functions declined, and eventually, she became vegetative. She passed away not long after. Her boyfriend, Little Jiang, loved her deeply. After her death, he committed suicide."

"Why did she get sick?"

"I don't know. She suffered a minor head injury during a mission, but for some reason, her condition worsened drastically. The doctors described her symptoms with one phrase: 'Her brain is collapsing.'"

"Director, do you know about the Jiangmiao Group?"

"I think it was established by Little Jiang. After Ji Miao's accident, he became a bit unhinged. He even believed in mysticism and tried to hire a master to perform rituals to bring her back to life. What about the Jiangmiao Group? It seems to be involved in a lot of charity work. It's a model enterprise in the city and a major taxpayer."

Fang Rui shared this information with Mu Mian and Lin Sen.

They speculated that the Jiangmiao Group's initial research on the Neural Rose was likely aimed at treating Miao Miao. However, after Jiang Yinian took over, the research's purpose shifted, leading to unethical medical experiments.

Lin Sen analyzed, "It's highly likely that someone within their team betrayed them. They might be guiding us to uncover their experiments and stop them from continuing this research."

Fang Rui and Mu Mian drove to the nursing home to visit Mu Mian's aunt, Shen Min, for more information.

The weather had been bad lately, so Shen Min wasn't sunbathing on the lawn as usual. Instead, she was watching TV in her room.

Mu Mian noticed that her aunt seemed to have aged a bit. Her clothes weren't as clean and tidy as before, and there were traces of dried saliva on her collar. The photo album she always carried was also missing.

"Auntie, do you remember me?"

Shen Min opened her eyes, glanced at Mu Mian, and then looked away.

"Auntie, do you remember Miao Miao?"

Hearing her daughter's name, Shen Min showed no reaction. It seemed she had forgotten everything.

A nurse nearby said, "Her condition has worsened. She doesn't recognize anyone now. She used to remember her daughter, but now even that memory is gone."

Shen Min sat there, dazed and smiling gently. She had forgotten everything, even her daughter, but she seemed to be happier in her own way.

The nurse added, "Don't worry, Ms. Shen is a VIP client here. She will receive the best care."

Fang Rui asked, "Who arranged for her care?"

"Mr. Jiang Yinian. He's also a shareholder in our nursing home, so we make sure to take excellent care of Ms. Shen."

After leaving the nursing home, they returned to the police station. Mu Mian saw Lin Qianyan standing at the entrance. As soon as Fang Rui's car approached, he walked over and stopped it.

Fang Rui quickly hit the brakes.

"Lin Qianyan, what do you want?"

Lin Qianyan was holding a small whale plushie. He said softly, "Mu Mian, can I see Yuanyuan?"

Mu Mian replied, "Yuanyuan is dead. You can't see him."

"Even his body would be fine."

"Why do you want to see him?"

"He has no family or friends. He died, and no one came to see him. He was so pitiful. I once promised him I'd give him a plushie, and now I want to fulfill that promise." Lin Qianyan shook the plushie in his hand. "I've already bought it. It's such a childish thing, and it's useless to me. I just want to give it to him."

Mu Mian reached out her hand. "Give me the plushie. I'll place it next to his body for you."

Lin Qianyan refused. "I don't trust you. I want to give it to him myself."

"Was ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‍it you who lured Yuanyuan out of the shelter?"

"No." Seeing Mu Mian's disbelief, he added, "Yuanyuan didn't choose to be my friend. He preferred staying in that shelter over living with me. He hated me because I caused the death of his beloved 'Mother Director.'"

Mu Mian took Lin Qianyan to see Yuanyuan's body.

When Lin Qianyan saw Yuanyuan's pale, frozen body, he didn't show any sadness. Instead, he curiously examined it.

Lin Qianyan asked, "Mu Mian, you will catch the person who killed him, right?"

Mu Mian countered, "Don't you know who the killer is?"

"It wasn't my cousin Yinian. I pressed him for answers. It wasn't me either. I don't know who killed him. Why would someone kill an innocent autistic orphan?"

"Yuanyuan might have died from an illness," Mu Mian said.

Lin Qianyan placed the small whale plushie next to Yuanyuan. "I promised to give you a plushie, and I've kept my word. I don't know if the heaven you talked about exists, but I hope you've reached it and reunited with your 'Mother Director.'"

Mu Mian said, "Lin Qianyan, I think you can choose to be a good person. Stop doing bad things."

Lin Qianyan looked at her and said, "Mu Mian, not everyone is as lucky as you. Goodbye, Mu Mian."

Mu Mian watched as Lin Qianyan left.

After leaving the police station, Lin Qianyan got into a car parked by the roadside.

Jiang Yinian glanced at him and asked, "Lin Qianyan, do you want me to arrange for someone to steal Yuanyuan's body and give it to you?"

"Cousin Yinian, I'm not Mu Mian. I don't like cold corpses."

"But he's dead, and I can't bring him back to life. You could try to like it. I can have him preserved as a specimen, so he can stay with you forever in the form of a doll."

Lin Qianyan retorted, "Why don't you turn the person you love into a specimen? Is it because you can't?"

Jiang Yinian didn't answer.

"Cousin Yinian, have you found out who killed Yuanyuan?"

"Yes. Don't worry, I've come up with a perfect plan to avenge your Yuanyuan."

Lin Qianyan corrected him, "You're not doing this for Yuanyuan. You're doing it for yourself."

"Maybe. I hate being betrayed."
