Chapter 800 - 743 Corpse Wax
"Clear out the hall," Jiang Yuan instructed.
"Take apart a few beds and bring them here. No need for autopsy tables, could you even move them? Just take the beds from the dormitory. Actually, forget the beds, we just need the bed boards. Also, bring some tables over to arrange alongside them."
The Autopsy Center was bustling. As soon as Director Liu Jinghui heard the situation, he cheerfully abandoned his plans to celebrate the holiday with his wife and rushed to the Autopsy Center, first figuring out how to prepare beds for the bodies.
Truth be told, even Beijing’s Autopsy Centers were not prepared to normally accommodate a group of twenty corpses.
Setting aside the center’s capacity, other bodies were currently being autopsied. Beyond the Zhengguang Bureau, there was a shift from district bureaus and various other units, as well as individuals, who all had needs.
Luckily, most of the bodies were already skeletonized, so there was no need to worry about corpse fluids leaking out. Ordinary beddings would suffice for this task.
In fact, it wasn’t necessary to lay all the corpses out for a normal autopsy, which is more of a plot device in TV dramas, seeking to provide a visual shock to attract viewers. But speaking of viewers, if audiences appreciate it, wouldn’t leaders appreciate it too?
For such a big case, there’s a good chance leaders would come to the scene and might even want to see the bodies. After all, leaders often share the same tastes as audiences; what viewers find cool, leaders usually do as well; and viewers who lack knowledge, common sense, understanding of the business, practical experience, and are lazy to think or to reflect, comfortable in ignorance—so are some leaders.
Liu Jinghui spread out the workspace in the first-floor hall. The artificial hill in the large water tank had been removed, and the water had been drained to a puddle where a group of fat fish lay pitifully and fearfully before being taken away with the water tank to some office.
Two tables placed together, topped with a bed board and covered with a plastic sheet, now served as makeshift mortuary tables. Lined up neatly in rows and columns, they presented a rather chilling sight.
