Great doctors start with pediatrics

Chapter 21 Sign Language Translation

"Doctor, do you mean that this is just your theory at the moment?"

The person talking to the police was Zuo Zhenxing.

As the deputy director of a department in a top-tier hospital, he worked at a medium-sized hospital that was, at least, a deputy-department-level public institution.

Therefore, Zuo Zhenxing's position itself can be described as highly respected, making his words even more persuasive.

Zuo Zhenxing originally wanted the child's mother to talk to him, but Laurent quickly stopped him when he saw the woman sobbing uncontrollably.

People generally trust those who are more professional and authoritative, and police officers are no exception.

Because Jiangnan Guo knew little about what had happened, he greeted the police officer and then let Zuo Zhenxing speak.

Zuo Zhenxing sensed the other party's doubt and quickly explained, "It's not just speculation, but also wound examination. Our hospital is qualified to conduct injury examinations. Even if you go through the procedures to have the injury re-examined later, we can still issue an assessment."

"Xiaoxue, go and expedite the lab report."

The police officer nodded upon hearing Zuo Zhenxing's words: "Is it convenient to go to the police station?"

Zuo Zhenxing looked towards Jiangnan.

Jiang Nanguo nodded: "I'll perform the surgery for you tonight."

"Sure," Zuo Zhenxing replied.

Laurent had nothing to say; upon hearing this, he had already led the child's mother into the police car.

Inside the police station.

"Comrade, could you please issue us a case acceptance receipt first?"

Laurent made his request as soon as he entered.

The police officer looked at Laurent in surprise: "Huh?"

"In cases of suspected child sexual assault, where a police report has been filed, wouldn't it be reasonable to issue a case acceptance receipt?"

Zuo Zhenxing looked at Laurent; he seemed more professional than a doctor.

However, the case acceptance receipt is required. It's not that Laurent is overly suspicious, but rather that, procedurally, the police station must issue a case acceptance receipt when a party reports a case.

If a case is accepted, a case acceptance receipt will be issued; if a case is not accepted, a case rejection receipt will also be issued.

Conversely, without a case acceptance receipt, the report might not even be included in the public security system's scope of work.

Just in case, Laurent spoke up.

The police officer asked, "Are you the victim?"

"Cousin-in-law".

Duo Duo's mother insisted, "He's also my cousin."

After crying, she was somewhat disoriented when she entered the police station.

Thinking about what her child had gone through, she felt completely drained.

But despite all that, women know perfectly well who is helping them.

Laurent didn't deny it: "I just happened to be studying at medical school, and then this happened."

The police officer pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll have someone issue you a case acceptance receipt."

"Now that we have a general understanding of the case, shall we take statements before any other evidence arrives?"

Laurent did not refuse.

The statement was taken starting with questioning the child's mother.

"So you noticed your child wasn't feeling well lately, took them to the hospital for a checkup, and after a full-body examination, everything was fine. But then, during a genital examination at the hospital, they found signs of injury?"

"Yes." The woman nodded.

"Doctor, is this your side?"

"That's true, specifically..."

Zuo Zhenxing began to explain.

The police officer quickly finished taking notes, then frowned as he looked at the record: "But according to your description of the sign language conversation, does the sign language teacher have a sign language qualification certificate?"

"No." Laurent shook his head.

The original owner didn't need to take any certifications, nor did they have the time to do so.

"OK."

The police officer pondered for a moment: "However, without an interpreter's certificate, we may not be able to obtain evidence of the sign language communication."

"Our partner sign language teacher is coming over this afternoon, let's go ask her now."

"Xiao Wang, could you please make this trip?"

Soon, a plump middle-aged woman wearing a short-sleeved shirt and slippers walked in: "I am the sign language interpreter."

"Do you know how busy I am?"

The older woman walked in and started chattering: "I still have to go back to work at the neighborhood office, what are you doing here..."

"We will provide additional compensation," the police officer said helplessly from the side.

The woman perked up immediately: "Let me talk to the child."

As she spoke, the older woman plopped down in a chair.

The chair trembled slightly.

"Let's get a different chair later."

Laurent said to the police officer next to him.

The police officer glanced back at Laurent and nodded imperceptibly.

"Make the children look at me."

The older woman urged, "How can I talk to her if she doesn't look at me?"

Without any hesitation, the auntie started making arrangements in a very casual and easygoing manner.

The police officers standing nearby frowned.

He said to Zuo Zhenxing and the others, "We've only let him interact with adults before."

"Alright."

Laurent patted Dodo on the shoulder.

Use sign language to comfort Duoduo.

Duoduo's mother was also patting her back.

Duoduo gradually looked at the older woman.

The older woman stared intently at Duoduo, watching Laurent's sign language with a mocking expression.

"Alright, I'll communicate. Stop using your inadequate sign language."

As she spoke, the woman's hands began to wave rapidly.

Laurent lifted his bangs to make it easier to read the woman's sign language.

It has a certain flavor, but it's definitely not a proper restaurant.

Although Laurent has never received a beginner-level skill reward, in Laurent's opinion, the old lady's level is probably only at the beginner level.

Therefore, one must act swiftly to conceal one's flaws.

Many of the sign languages ​​are not standard Chinese sign language; they also contain some self-created natural sign languages.

Laurent claims it was his own creation because he believes this sign language doesn't have a widespread base of use.

But now the other party is the translator, so Laurent patiently waited.

The older woman asked, "Where does it hurt?"

Duoduo looked at her mother, then at Laurent, and pointed to her lower abdomen.

The woman then made a bicycle gesture: "Do you usually ride a bicycle?"

"Yes." Duoduo nodded obediently.

The woman continued, "Will your lower body hurt after riding a bike?"

Duoduo shrank back, remained silent, and then nodded.

"That's about it."

The older woman said casually, then asked Duoduo, "Does anyone at home usually bully you?"

Duoduo shook her head.

"you……"

Laurent couldn't understand this sign language at all.

No, saying he couldn't understand it was purely from the perspective of sign language; Laurent couldn't understand it.

How come someone draws a circle with one hand and sticks out a finger from the other hand to insert it?

Everyone present had a tense expression.

Is this sign language appropriate?

Duoduo nodded blankly.

"I've found out."

The woman looked at the police officer and said, "It must have been someone who touched him while riding a bicycle. The child said no one assaulted him."

"Alright, alright, you guys write this down. I'll sign it now. You really make me do such trivial things."

The woman pressed her fingerprint on the paper, patted her bottom, and prepared to leave.

Zuo Zhenxing and Duoduo's mother looked at Laurent with suspicion in their eyes.

Laurent knew that the suspicion was not directed at him, and slowly shook his head.

He strode up to the older woman and said, "Stop right there! Do you even know sign language?"
